Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series/Characters: Difference between revisions

 

=== Yugi Muto ===

 

Ah, yes. Our protagonist, ladies and gentlemen. In the Abridged Series, Yugi shares the most amount of ever-so coveted screen time with Yami. His story plays out pretty much the same as it normally does, except with more card games and snarkiness.

 

=== Yami Victor Yugi, aka "The Pharaoh" {{spoiler|aka "[[Dan Green]]"}} ===

 

The incredibly FABULOUS alter-ego of our protagonist. In the Abridged Series, Yami is not as heroic as he used to be, but at the same time he's just as hammy, if not more so. Yami is a bastard, to put it simply, but his antics are just so damn hilarious that we can't help but love him for it. Has a penchant for Mind Crushing gay clowns and in the old days used to summon monsters out of thin air to brutally murder anyone he deemed as a threat. In the past, he also wasn't a benevolent pharaoh, as evidenced by his tradition of Slavemas. All in all, a difficult man to figure out.

 

=== Steve "Joey" Wheeler ===

 

[[The Lancer]]. Joey serves the same role as he does originally. Has a habit of subconsciously saying "Nyeh!" at times and is a closet furry. Might also have an attraction to Kaiba, but then again, [[Memetic Sex God|who doesn't]]? On the other hand, he's recently admitted his love for Mai Valentine{{spoiler|'s breasts}}. His name was also legally changed to Steve so Marik could take over his mind for a short time, but he is still referred to by his original name.

 

=== Steve "Téa" Gardner ===

 

In the Abridged Series, Téa is incredibly fixated on friendship. She honestly believes that friendship is the ultimate source of power and can right any wrong, God bless her. If you say otherwise, however... Be afraid. [[Beware the Nice Ones|Be very afraid.]] She can and will make speeches about friendship when provoked, and if she focuses on a single target, well...[[Fate Worse Than Death|the less said, the better]]. Her name was also legally changed to Steve so Marik could take over his mind for a short time, but she is still referred to by her original name.

 

=== Tristan Timothy Taylor ===

 

Tristan is...dumb. [[The Ditz|Really dumb]]. For real. That is pretty much all there is to be said about him. However, when he isn't [[Cloudcuckoolander|stuck in his own bizarre little world]], he can be surprisingly badass: his voice gives him super strength, after all. {{spoiler|His physical body has recently been destroyed/possessed, and he is now living as a robotic monkey. His friends think that he has died.}}

 

=== Seto Kaiba ===

 

Current president of Kaiba Corporation. Seto's story roughly remains the same from the original show, with some minor exceptions. A little known fact is that he once experimented with several drugs which made him believe at one point that his hair was green. Never misses the opportunity to be as [[Badass]] as possible and screw the rules with whatever is necessary. ([[Screw the Rules, I Have Money|Namely with his money since he's obscenely rich]]).

 

=== Maximillion Pegasus ===

 

CEO and founder of Industrial Illusions and creator of the children's card game Duel Monsters. When his wife-to-be inexplicably exploded at the altar, he went to Egypt and received the Millennium Eye from Shadi. He hides his sorrows and true intentions behind a gay facade. And we mean that literally. He used the first tournament to gather souls to bring back Cecelia, but lost to Yugi. After releasing the people he turned into trading cards he was killed by Yami Bakura...temporarily. Surgery has made broad advances, and Pegasus is back and more fabulous than ever before.

* [[Sissy Villain]]: Hoo boy. And you thought the ''original'' was eccentric enough.

{{quote|Wohoohoohoo. If I weren't so very camp I'd probably make a credible villain.}}

* [[Word of Gay]]: Inverted. [[Word of God|Bakura's gaydar was pointing to Croquet]].

 

=== Yami Bakura, aka Florence ===

 

The spirit within the Millennium Ring. Yami Bakura, whose name is actually [[Gender Blender Name|Florence]], is the definition of evil: [[Faux Affably Evil|sadistic, sarcastic,]] [[Up to Eleven|and British beyond belief]]. It is because of this, however, that he has a legion of fangirls at his beck and call. His ultimate goal is to take the Pharaoh's screentime. After attempting to do so in Duelist Kingdom and failing miserably, he took Pegasus' Millennium Eye and (seemingly) killed him. He then lay dormant until Marik's arrival, where he struck a deal to assist him in his cause, since they shared similar agendas.

* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]

* [[Deadpan Snarker]]

* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: [[Ambiguously Gay|Not that he's complaining.]]

* [[Embarrassing First Name]]: Florence, as mentioned above.

 

=== Marik Sebastian Ishtar III ===

 

Marik is the successor to the tomb keepers of the Pharaoh and the leader of the Rare Hunters. Like Yami Bakura, he also wants to take the Pharaoh's screentime, and so he sends his minions into the Battle City tournament to destroy Yugi a little (not kill, destroy). He possesses the Millennium Rod, which allows the user to brainwash anyone with "Steve" or any variation thereof in their name.

 

=== Yami Marik, aka Melvin ===

 

The current antagonist (not anymore...yet), and Marik's alter-ego. When Odion was struck by Ra's divine wrath, the mental seals on Melvin weakened, and he resurfaced. Unlike Marik, Melvin has absolutely no compunctions about committing more... grotesque atrocities. But can you blame him? All he really wants is a hug. By "hug" we mean he wants to stab you with a chainsaw.

* [[Laughing Mad]]: Egregiously so. But then again, who wouldn't [[Go Mad From the Isolation]]?

* [[Leitmotif]]: His theme from the dub normally, same as Melvin. In Episode 55 he gets a new one while revealing his sob story: [[Gears of War|Mad World]].

* [[You Have Failed Me]]: Banishes Team 4kids to the darkest corners of the internet.

 

* [[Characterization Marches On]]: The first two ''Marik's Evil Council'' specials portrayed him as a rather serious villain, [[Surrounded by Idiots]]. Since the third ''Evil Council'', his personality was radically altered. Additionally, his henchmen have all become far less idiotic and are now disturbed by his poorly pronounced schemes.

* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: He and his gang of motorcycle riding henchmen have a subplot in all of the ''Marik's Evil Council'' videos to date. We still have a ways to go before his in-series debut.

* [[Expy]]: [[Perfect Hair Forever|Coifio]].

* [[Filler Villain]]

 

=== Zorc Necrophades ===

 

A dark god and famous TV celebrity. Was at first the star of ''Zorc & Pals'' until its unfortunate cancellation. However, Zorc bounced back by performing in ''The Suite Life of Zorc & Cody''. Loves destruction, especially of the worldly kind.

** Johnson gets sent to The Dangerous Box.

** Nesbitt winds up on [[Chat Roulette]], where he has an encounter with [[Naruto the Abridged Comedy Fandub Spoof Series Show|Naruto]]. He claims he's a robot when he's seen using his human form.

** The only one who seems genuinely happy about his fate is Crump, because he gets sent to [[Image Boards|4chan]] and spams the board with penguins. {{spoiler|The sudden cutoff, however, implies that he gets banned.}}

* [[Five-Bad Band]]

** MasakoX: Nesbitt

** [[Lanipator]]: Lector.

* [[The Other Darrin]]: They were initially voiced by LK, but are each by their own voice actor in ''The Cancelled Series''. See [[Hey, It's That Voice!]].

* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: For their [[Badass Creed]], they recite [[Shout-Out|a variation of]] [[Pokémon (anime)|the original Team Rocket motto.]]

=== Dartz' Motorcycle-Riding Henchmen ===

 

* [[The Big Guy]]: Rafael.

* [[Cute but Cacophonic]]: Alister.

 

=== Ryo Bakura ===

 

The present-time Bakura. Quite effeminate, and very, very British, he tends to get pushed in the background a lot by his evil side, who possesses the Millennium Ring.

 

=== Jaden Yuki ===

 

The hyperactive protagonist from ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'', who thinks he's black and is highly disliked by other characters. Voiced by ShadyVox of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh GX the Abridged Series]]''.

 

=== Yusei Fudo ===

 

The protagonist of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]''. He's one of the saner characters in the series, despite the fact that he dates his bike, and has an incredibly nice voice.
