Line 7:
As his name suggests, he uses an Insect deck. His trump cards are Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth and Insect Queen (which he lost to Jounouchi via the ante rules of Battle City, but he quickly gains another one).
-----
* [[Adaptational Heroism]]: He's still a complete jerk in Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction, but he's on the protagonists' side.
* [[Adaptational Villainy]]: In the original version and manga, he knew about the field power bonus rule in Duelist Kingdom because Pegasus told him about it as a "special preview" for winning the Japanese championship. In the English dub, however, he's a thief who ''stole'' the secret, bragging about doing so.
* [[Animal Motifs]]: Bugs.
* [[Big Creepy-Crawlies]]: The vast majority of his cards are big bugs.
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: When Yugi first met Haga, he seemed like a ''very'' nice guy, nicer than Ryuzaki ironically enough. He was very polite overall, gave some advice to both Yugi and Jounouchi, and seemed pretty tame to the [[Genre Blind]]. Yugi liked and admired him right after meeting him, which was why he [[What an Idiot!|trusted the complete stranger with handling his grandfather's cards despite their not being water-proof and a large body of water being nearby.]] It was more noticeable in the Japanese version than in the English dub, in which he sounded unbelievably sarcastic the entire time. Now, of course, fans know [[Jerkass|what]] [[Smug Snake|he's]] [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing|really like.]]
* [[Cheaters Never Prosper]]
* [[Critical Research Failure]]: In-universe. He had no idea, it seems, that Jonouchi might have a monster that Parasite Paraside was ineffective against. "What kind of Insect duelist are you?" asks Solomon, who clearly ''does'' know it.
* [[Deal with the Devil]]: Joins Dartz to attempt revenge on Yugi.
* [[Determinator]]: Along with Ryuzaki, in the anime. Never gave up no matter how many times he got his ass kicked. [[Crazy Awesome|Biked off of a cliff to catch the rope ladder from Raphael's helicopter.]] [[Determinator|Just because he wanted a better chance at defeating the Pharaoh.]] Then, in the next tournament, [[Holy Shit Quotient|they both beat up a duelist, tied him up, stole his clothes,]] [[Totem Pole Trench|and stood on top of each other]] [[Holy Shit Quotient|just for another chance at fame.]] Yeah. They both qualify.
Line 16 ⟶ 19:
* [[Four Eyes, Zero Soul]]
* [[Freaky Is Cool]]: ''Adores'' insects, spiders, and all things creepy-crawly.
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: His ace card is [http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Insect_Queen Insect Queen], a horrific looking beast that looks like a [[Giant Spider]] with a monstrous woman's upper torso.
* [[Giggling Villain]]: [[Annoying Laugh|"Hyoi hyoi hyoi hyoi hyoi hyoi!"]]
* [[Hannibal Lecture]]: Gives one to Yami; it actually almost works.
* [[Jerkass]]: BIG TIME.
* [[Jerk Jock]]: For a guy who plays a card game, he is so clearly channeling this attitude.
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: His first big mistake was a move like this during his first duel with Yugi. He was playing conservatively and building a solid offensive line of monsters as Yugi was defending, but then he got a little full of himself and was a little too eager to attack Yugi's Dark Magician, and ran straight into Yugi's Mirror Force while doing so.
* [[Let's Get Dangerous]]: His second battle with Yami.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Aside from his obvious dub name, his Japanese given name roughly means, "Moth Wings." Particularly fitting given what one of his trump cards is.
Line 28 ⟶ 33:
** The only time he seemed to ''stop'' being so smug (at least at first) was against the Pharaoh during the Doma arc. He genuinely expected a big duel when he initiated it and spent about three-fourths of the duel utterly ''[[Curb Stomp Battle|stomping]]'' the Pharaoh. He didn't really start doing badly until his [[Fatal Flaw|smugness]] crept in again. Oh, and especially when the Pharaoh [[Unstoppable Rage|absolutely flipped out in response to his cruel joke]], and got help from [[Ass Pull|quite a few good draws]] in his final play.
* [[Those Two Bad Guys]]: With Rex.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: This guy falls for one of [[The Oldest Tricks in the Book]] during his duel with Jonouchi. ''Twice.'' And he does it while calling ''Jonouchi'' the "unskilled amateur".
* [[Villainous Breakdown]]: Every time he loses.
* [[Villains Want Mercy]]: And as Jonouchi tells him - before refusing to grant it - he ''really'' should have thought of that before cheating.
* [[Villainous Crush]]: Shows a few signs of having one on Anzu in the original Japanese version only. He attempts to flirt with her at the Battle City tournament, calling her "a cute lady." Her [[Squick|reaction]] was less than interested. He apparently had some hard feelings about that because later, in the Doma arc, he tells her that she looks terrible despite saying that she shouldn't feel proud "just because she's cute" an episode later. He apparently doesn't take well to rejection.
* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: In Battle City, he hired a kid to sabotage Joey's deck. When the kid demands his payment of a rare card, Weevil gives him a lame card. When the kid protests, Weevil sprays him with silly string and runs away (in the manga, it was ''a can of insecticide'').
