A list of characters from the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime and manga series, [[Oddly -Named Sequel 2: Electric Boogaloo]] to ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]''.
 
== Main Characters ==
Line 53:
* [[Tiger Versus Dragon]]: The Dragon to Misawa's Tiger.
* [[Warrior Therapist]]
* [[Wide -Eyed Idealist]]
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Make sure you realize [[Serious Business|what show you're in]] before you think of Duel Monsters as, "just a game."
 
Line 125:
* [[Distressed Dude]]: His disappearance sets the events of the latter half of season three in motion.
* [[Empathy Pet]]: The Gem Beasts
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Rainbows]]: His ultimate monster, Rainbow Dragon
* [[Evil Makeover]]/[[Evil Costume Switch]]: When possessed by Yubel.
* [[Expy]]: Judai
Line 156:
* [[Promotion to Parent]]: To an extent, towards Ryo in season 4. Revealed later in the Darkness arc that {{spoiler|he ''[[A Friend in Need|really doesn't]] [[Why Can't I Hate You?|like it]].''}}
* [[The Rival]]: To his older brother by the end, previously to Kenzan in [[Ho Yay]] [[Love Triangle]] over Judai.
* [[The Short Guy Withwith Glasses]]
* [[Sidekick]]
* [[The So-Called Coward]]
Line 223:
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons]]: His Armed Dragons.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Mecha]]: His VWXYZ monsters in the anime.
* [[Jerk Jock]]: Pre-[[Character Development]], he was shaping up to be Judai's [[Harry Potter (Literaturenovel)|Draco Malfoy]].
** [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: Post-character development.
* [[The Lancer]]: Of the Rival variety.
* [[Lonely Rich Kid]]
Line 238:
* [[Screw the Money, I Have Rules]]: He eventually rejects his brothers' plans and tries to go pro without their connections.
* [[Self-Made Man]]
* [[Spell My Name Withwith a "The"]]: The dub has him called himself "The Chazz."
* [[Third Person Person]]: The aforementioned "Manjuome san-da" can be translated as "It's the Manjoume" under some circumstances. The dub retains this, where he calls himself "The Chazz."
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Towards his older brothers in Season 1.
Line 267:
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]: Something she's not happy about at all.
* [[Idol Singer]] [[Defied Trope|NOT!]]
* [[Kill It Withwith Ice]]: When brainwashed.
* [[Male Gaze]]
* [[Magic Skirt]]
* [[Married to Thethe Job]]: Cites being in love with dueling as one of her reasons for rejecting Manjoume's advances.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]
* [[Name's the Same]]: When partnered with [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Rei]].
Line 292:
* [[The Big Guy]]
* [[Hidden Depths]]: Mediocre duelist, highly talented artist. In his [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]], he gets to use a card he himself designed.
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]
* [[Trademark Favorite Food]]: Grilled cheese sandwiches, though only in the dub.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]
Line 305:
* [[Awesomeness By Analysis]]: At first...
* [[Badass Bookworm]]
* [[Born in Thethe Wrong Century]]: Would have fit right in among the geniuses of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5 Ds5D's]]'' and received much more respect.
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Season 2
* [[Celibate Hero]]: Oooh, boy...
* [[Crazy Prepared]]: Opponent tossed his deck into the lake? No problem -- he's locked and loaded with 6 more decks to spare!
* [[Deal Withwith the Devil]]: Saiou promised Misawa that people would remember him and he would get the respect he deserved if he joined up. Pity it didn't actually work that way.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Season 2 onward, and pointed out in the canon as his reason for joining the Society of Light.
* [[Dude, Where's My Respect?]]: Cited as the reason for his [[Face Heel Turn]] and [[Heel Face Turn]] in season 2. By season 3 he's given up and chooses to[[Put Onon a Bus|stay in the different dimension.]]
* [[Expospeak]]: Seems to be the sole reason for him to reemerge from the bus on occasion.
* [[Fake Brit]]: In the dub.
Line 319:
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl|Huge Girl Tiny Guy]]: Misawa is taller and has a larger build than most of the main cast, and yet he's still dwarfed by [[Amazonian Beauty|Taniya]], his eventual love interest.
* [[Light Is Not Good]]
* [[The Magic Poker Equation]]: Averted, and making him one of the few characters in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' universe who ''doesn't'' rely on it. He uses mathematical formulas and science to fine-tune his decks to perfection, thereby minimizing the variable of luck in his duels and making his decks very precise and strategic. Unfortunately most of his opponents ''do'' rely on this trope and have [[Plot Armor]] to boot.
* [[No Guy Wants an Amazon]]: At least, he thought he didn't...
* [["No Respect" Guy]]: Season 2
* [[Number Two]]
* [[Put Onon a Bus]]: Multiple times
* [[The Rival]]
* [[The Smart Guy]]
Line 357:
* [[Lonely At the Top]]: Shows signs of this, [[Ineffectual Loner|not that he seems to mind]].
* [[The Magic Poker Equation]]: Hoo boy. Topdecks all of the cards he needs to bring out his ace monster, Cyber End Dragon, within 3 turns, tops. To be fair, his entire deck ''is'' based around summoning it, and real life decks ''can'' achieve similar results.
* [[Married to Thethe Job]]: A borderline example; similarly to Asuka, he states that he is devoted to dueling and uninterested in relationships. Of course, this ''was'' said to a middle school [[Fan Girl]], so take that as you will.
* [[Meaningful Name]]
* [[Oblivious to Love]]: Extremely obvious in Turn 20.
* [[Only Known Byby Their Nickname]]
* [[Perpetual Frowner]]
* [[Platonic Life Partners]]: With Asuka.
Line 396:
* [[Freak-Out]]
* [[The Gift]]: Deconstructed more brutally than with any other character besides maybe Judai.
* [[Heir to Thethe Dojo]]
* [[Hell-Bent for Leather]]
* [[Jerkass Dissonance]]
* [[Kick the Dog]]: His duel with Sho.
* [[Kick the Son of Aa Bitch]]: Firing Saruyama.
* [[Limited Wardrobe]]: Still wears his school uniform after graduating (pre-[[Freak-Out]]).
* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]
Line 408:
* [[Slasher Smile]]: Countless times post-[[Freak-Out]].
* [[Too Kinky to Torture]]: Initially hates the electrodes; afterwards starts using them regularly [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant|for this reason]], and also because he's just that screwed up.
* [[Used to Be Aa Sweet Kid]]: Shown in Turn 83
* [[Villain Protagonist]]
 
Line 425:
* [[Secretly Dying]]: Until it becomes impossible to hide, he tells no one of his heart condition and brushes off any kind of concern from those who do notice the pain he's in.
* [[Spirited Competitor]]: He spends almost the entire season looking for someone strong enough to give him one last amazing duel.
* [[This Is Your Brain Onon Evil]], [[Up to Eleven]]
 
''Season 4:''
Line 432:
* [[Back From the Dead]]
* [[Contractual Immortality]]: Though it's unclear whether or not this is something he wants.
* [[Doing in Thethe Scientist]]: His heart problems weren't due to dueling with [[Electric Torture|electro-shock collars]] but the [[Dangerous Forbidden Technique|dangerous forbidden deck]] he used.
* [[Heel Face Revolving Door]]: Comes to his senses and gives up the Hell Kaiser persona thanks to Sho.
* [[Ill Girl|Ill Boy]]
Line 444:
Voiced by: [[Koji Yusa]] (Japanese) and [[Jason Anthony Griffith]] (English)

* [[Bishonen]]
Line 455:

* [[Missed the Call]]: Nope, you're not [[The Hero]], nor [[The Chosen One]]...nor [[The Only One Allowed to Defeat You]]!

Line 485:
* [[Totally Radical]]: His speech in the dub tends to follow this pattern.
* [[Shoot the Dog]]
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Is it Edo, or Ed? Most people go with Edo, although some would argue that Edo is a botched translation and it really means Ed anyway.
** Then again, some people bring up the [[Stealth Pun]] in his name; ''Phoenixes'' were very popular in artistic depictions of the ''Edo'' period.

* [[Ship Tease]]: With Misawa.
* [[You Go, Girl!]]
 
 
Line 936:
 
== Emi Ayukawa ==
* [[Agent Scully]]: There must be a logical explanation for multiple people falling unconscious after dueling today, just like at the [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Battle]] [[Call Back|City]] [[Mythology Gag|Tournament]]. There's no way it's evil sorcery like the records claim.
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]: Quite literally.
 
Line 986:
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]
* [[The Power of the Sun]]: The Supremacy SUN, though it combines it with [[Casting a Shadow]] due to being a DARK Fiend-Type and having a solar eclipse in the card art.

* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: "Hey, did you see a butterfly go through here?"

Then in the manga we get [[Green Thumb|Plant-based]] Heroes like Knospe and Woodsman.
* [[Fusion Dance]]: Their key strength, almost any two heroes can fuse together, so Judai always has plenty of options when it's time to fuse.
