Yu-Gi-Oh!

While in his true form, Girag has a decidedly alien-looking helmet-like face with two spikes prodding up above the eyes, with green hair in the style of a mohawk. In addition, he wears a dark brown suit with orange colored jewels adorned all over his body, and has a Barian Emblem with a golden winged outline on his chest. He also wears matching brown gloves and boots as well as the same G-shaped belt in his human form. In the Barian World , Girag wore a brown cloak and hood.
While in human form, Girag is a very tall and muscular man with dark tanned skin and the same green mohawk. He wears suspenders and small pair of wings on his back as well as black fingerless gloves. He also has a thunderbolt marking on the top left-side of his forehead. He appears disguised as a second year student in Heartland Academy , as indicated by the color of his uniform, which is the same as Shark and his gang. While supervising and commentating on the Friendship Games , and during his Duel with Yuma against Tori and Cathy, Girag wore a regular Duel Gazer . During the aforementioned Duel, Girag also wore an orange sports jersey. While Girag was watching Duels that were part of his plans, and during his Duel against Yuma and Ray, his left eye was surrounded by a red lens instead.

Girag is a fearless warrior who does not hesitate in his mission. He assaulted Fender 's gang by himself with no fear, holding Fender and declaring he liked his eyes as they resembled those of a "scared prey", which also reveals he is sadistic and abusive.
However he also seems to be quite arrogant as he referred to himself as ore-sama in one instance, which is an extremely egotistical way for a person to refer to themselves in Japan. He also seems to have a liking to manga, which is the reason he brainwashed Art Stanley , and even attempted to draw manga sketches, although his designs were terrible. [4] He has an infatuation with the TV singer Scarlett Starling and goes to a bar called the " BARian " to eat and relax. [5]

Girag and Alito inside the BARian .

Girag's downfall is his lack of foresight, and his plans always tend to go awry due to a single miscalculation. For example, when brainwashing Tori Meadows and Cathy Katherine , Girag neglects to take into account Shark 's personality, and thus is forced to Duel alongside Yuma and help him win. [6] This can be attributed to Girag's rather arrogant personality, for he thinks his plans as flawless despite his failures. Also, according to Alito , he's known to slack off on a regular basis.
Though arrogant and somewhat abusive to humans, Girag has been shown to be friendly and respectful with several of his fellow Barians , but shares a close relationship with Alito, whom he gives romantic advice to as well as shows mourning over when gravely injured. [5] [7]
After being revived by Don Thousand , Girag displayed much more malice, taking Ponta 's spirit and devouring it right after explaining what he had done to save the tanuki's life. [1] He returns to normal after Alito awakens his real memories, and also trusts in Yuma just as Alito did. [8]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Goha conceals his identity beneath a helmet with a design reminiscent of a samurai helmet, with the Goha Corporation logo emblazoned on his helmet's forehead and mouthpiece, hexagonal red eyepieces, and silver horns in half-hexagonal shapes. Reportedly, no-one at the Goha Corporation has ever seen his face. He also wears a black mantle with a red stripe across the chest, and black clothing and gloves underneath it.

Despite being the de facto ruler of Goha City little is known about Goha's personality. The installation of Rush Dueling in defiance of his company's rules seems to have amused Goha more than anything. In his first few appearances, he does not say anything, he merely laughs.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Yuga Goha's appearance strongly resembles that of Yuga Ohdo but with white hair and red accents.
As Swirly, he appears as a short stature boy wearing an aqua lizard costume with a red polka-dot bowtie.

Yuga Goha's nature has been shown to be sadistic and cruel. He seeks to use dueling to bring devastation and despair to all duelists.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

The golden hen is of course golden. She is also white and a red crest. It is unknown what breed she is.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Ish had a dark complexion and long light hair, with two braids in front.
For casual clothing, she wore a long white robe with a dark colored shawl. She tied her robe tightly around the waist with a piece of fabric.
When chosen as the Duel Priestess for the Festival of Duality , Ish wore formal attire. It consisted of a form-fitting outfit that was made up of a cape, tube top and miniskirt.

Ish after succumbed to the Ultimate God 's miasma
When rediscovered by her brothers, Ish had succumbed to the Ultimate God 's miasma and exhibited dark sclera and cracked skin under her eyes. This all vanished after Roman tried to save her from Rex .


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Rex Goodwin was a tall pale-skinned man with long grey hair that reached onto his lower back, with one section of it tied into a ponytail, gold round stud earrings, and light blue eyes. He wore a dark grey long sleeved suit and pants, with a black cummerbund over a light blue collared sweater that featured the Condor geoglyph emblazoned on it. He lost his left arm in an accident and replaced it with an artificial robotic one, with a built-in Duel Disk . Goodwin wears his long sleeved suit and white gloves at all times so his mechanical arm went unnoticed. When he was much younger, his hair was brown-black and slightly shorter, and he typically wore a lab coat and black pants over a light blue shirt and a teal necktie.

Linework as a Dark Signer .

After transforming into a Dark Signer , his body bulked up incredibly and he gained purple markings over his face and now exposed upper body. His eyes gained black scleras. He also ripped off his artificial arm and used his new powers to connect his brother's arm with the Head Mark of the Dragon on it in place of it.

Rex was very manipulative, and usually spoke in a calm, friendly demeanor, and appeared very respectful to others, particularly Jack and referred to him politely as King-sama. However he wasn't above being physical and direct when he grabbed Mina by the jaw after not wanting to listen to her excuse about Jack. [3] He believed that the separation of the New Domino City and the Satellite was necessary, as they complimented each other well and promoted growth. He sinisterly claimed that he would sacrifice one side for the other, in order to preserve the peace. He was quick to take action in turmoil, as even after Grieger attempted to kill him, he rallied to the audience of the Fortune Cup that he would protect them all as that was his duty as Director, even at the cost of his own life. During the Fortune Cup, he was utterly determined to expose the Signers via his varying agents that he had placed in the Tournament; and set up various plots in order to do so. He was also incredibly knowledgeable in the Legend of the People of the Stars and information about the Dark Signers .
He had great love for his brother, often calling him "niisan" in the Japanese version. He promised him he'd take his arm with the birthmark to gather the Signers and stop him and the Dark Signers in the future. After sending the Signers into the Satellite, he later revealed to his brother he had found a new possibility; gain the powers of both a Signer and a Dark Signer in order to stop the cycle of conflicts every 5,000 years. After he became a Dark Signer, he revealed his plan to destroy and recreate the world in his own image, to become the Ultimate God and rule all (probably due to the Dark Signer mark having an influence over his mind, because he never mentioned this 'plan' prior to becoming one). He also believed friendship to be nothing, but after his defeat, was convinced by Yusei the means to fight destiny was the bonds with friends, just before he died. [4] [5] [6]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Rex is a tall pale skinned man, with long grey hair that reaches into his lower back, with one section of it tied into a ponytail. He wears a dark grey suit and pants, over a collared shirt that features the Condor geoglpyh emblazoned on it. Rex later wears a metal chest plate as well as gauntlets and a long flowing cape in preparation for the Festival of Duality . After acquiring the power of the Ultimate God, his hair turns indigo and his sclera black, with various purple markings appearing on his face.

Goodwin is an extremely tyrannical man, stepping on who ever is in his way to achieve his goals. This was shown when he lied to Akiza Izinski , promising her that she'd win her Duel against Sect Ijuin when in reality, her real purpose was to lose in order to resurrect the Ultimate God. Rex also mislead Yusei Fudo and his adoptive son, Jack Atlas , making them believe he opposed the Skeleton Knight when he was in fact working with him the entire time.
Rex is also shown to use extreme measures, using the V.S.S.L. facility in order to test young children, seeing if they're suitable candidates to be his adoptive child and become the owner of a "Duel Dragon" card.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Roman Goodwin was a tall dark-skinned man with a muscular build, long pale blonde hair that is spiked upward and tied into a ponytail reaching onto his upper back, gold chunk-like earrings, dark red markings on his face, and light blue eyes with black scleras. He wore black robes that were accented with red stripes and which corresponded to his " Earthbound Immortal ", as his Mark of the Shadows represented the Spider. It was also revealed that he was the original Signer with the Head Mark of the Dragon on his left arm, though he replaced it with a metal arm since becoming a Dark Signer. When he was younger, his scleras were white, he wore his hair (which was a regular blonde) down, his skin was a lighter shade, and he typically wore a lab coat and light grey pants over a violet shirt and a black necktie.

Originally, Roman had a kind personality, who loved his brother Rex and believed in the infinite possibilities that Ener-D had to offer. However after being exposed to the light of the Ener-D reactor, he began mentally struggling to keep his sanity as his dragon birthmark and the Dark mark he obtained fought for control over his body, and he eventually was consumed by the Dark Mark according to Rex Goodwin.
As leader of the Dark Signers, Roman became very much ruthless and sadistic, and was even described as mad by Yusei . Much of his demeanor stemmed from his belief in destiny, especially in his jealousy for Dr. Fudo and the battle between both groups of Signers. As such he revered Ener-D as the light of destiny itself, and was willing to sacrifice as many innocent lives as it took to appease it and the Wicked Gods themselves. [1] [2]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

George is a tan-skinned young man with a built and bulky body. He has two-toned hair, fashioned in a flattop/hi-top fade: brown from his forehead down, including a neatly trimmed brown chin beard, and blonde on top of his head, fashioned in the flattop style and featuring red-striped highlights. As a kid, George's two-toned hair had a small spiky crown on the blonde upper portion, sans the highlights, and the brown parts were that of a mullet. As a young adult, he wears a greenish-grey jacket with a separate collar and a gold, animal-head-shaped necklace. George is shirtless, with only dark pants and a golden belt with a red stone in the center. His boots are buckled with gold plates. On his arms and abdomen. he also wears the gold plates and dark, finger-less gloves. George does not use an Avatar in LINK VRAINS so his outfit remains the same.
Taking on the appearance of Grim George, George wears the same outfit, but with added black shoulder pads with yellow outline, purple spikes on his knees and a black and white wrestler's mask, a purple spike, small yellow details, a long teal hair, and his eyes become covered.
As a bounty hunter, the Gore wears the armor of SOL Technologies: a green jumpsuit, with blue pads on his chest, grey pads around his waist, a brown belt and boots with red borders and blue pads. His armor bears the logo of SOL Technologies on his left side of the chest. He also wears some bandages around his forearms. Unlike his previous look, the Gore does not wear a helmet, revealing yellow hair. He sometimes wears futuristic glasses. However, after having an AI chip implemented into his brain, the Gore started to wither; he gained wrinkles and became very skinny as he lost nearly all his muscle mass, and his eyes diluting away.
In Season 3, after his AI chip was removed, he began return to his previous state, regaining some of his original muscle mass. By the time he returned to being a Pro Duelist, he wore his previous performance attire and reconditioned himself to his original bulky physique.

George is shown to have a big ego and pride for being a popular Celebrity Duelist and was angered when Playmaker was, unwittingly, stealing his spotlight. He seems to have a soft spot for children, as he often volunteers and donates to them at the orphanage where he grew up. He repeatedly makes it clear that he does not Duel for money, as he donates most of it and lives in a rather small warehouse . According to his manager, George prioritizes the audience's entertainment over winning Duels immediately.
By season 2, George's insecurities at being compared to Playmaker degraded from a healthy rivalry to a unhealthy obsession. Now concerned with prestige and rank, as Playmaker's popularity increased and the media became more and more obsessed with him, George starts resenting him, thinking he is Playmaker's "stepping stone" and willing to join the hunt against Playmaker even though the latter saved his life from the Hanoi. As a result, he casts aside his Celebrity Duelist career and becomes a bounty hunter for SOL Technologies, believing that he cannot move forward until he defeats Playmaker. Furthermore, all of George's duel losses seemed to have soured him as he rejected Soulburner when he offered him a hand, stating that everyone experiences defeat and that it reveals who one really is, making him a bit of a "sore loser" as Flame noted.
His obsession with being the best and finally defeating Playmaker even made him willing use himself as test subject for an experimental "Duel AI" that was implanted into his brain to become stronger. This corrupted him further into a amoral and indifferent man with shameless confidence in his new abilities, believing that he was now invincible. This continued decay in George's personality left him barely able listen to others or even show any expression. [3]
By Season 3, Gore returns to his original personality, having been restored to normal following his second defeat by Playmaker. He also retains his friendly rivalry with Playmaker and is no longer hostile towards him, thanking him for saving him. Gore is also more mature and considerate, having accepted responsibility for his actions in the previous season and regretting that he momentarily abandoned the children in pursuit of his pride.

Buff is a skinny boy with black hair and dark eyes with small pupils. He dresses in an abundance of hygienic and protective clothing; a clean white shirt with the sleeves rolled up and white pants, blue protective boots with white brushes strapped to the soles, blue finger-less rubber gloves over white ones, a black apron strapped around him with a blue belt with a white buckle, a white shower cap with a brim, and a black mask over his mouth and nose with the Japanese character for wash written on it. He also carries a number of cleaning supplies; three yellow wirebrushes tucked into his belt, a dishcloth tucked into the other side of his belt, and a red squirt gun connected to a water tank he carries on his back.

Buff is a cowardly Duelist with little care for fair play, cheating in his Duels.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Ms. Guide's appearance is identical to that of " Tour Guide From the Underworld ". In addition, she wears an apron and a name tag with Desu on it.

The Desu on her name tag comes directly from the OCG name for "Tour Guide From the Underworld", デスガイド (Desugaido), or Death Guide.

He is a character who loves Dueling and is excited to be in a completely new environment. He is always filled with energy. He is also shown to get ahead of himself often, as when he Dueled Zuzu , he announced drawing a Pendulum Monster , and placed both active Pendulum Monsters in his Monster Zones rather than the Pendulum Zones .
Even when things don't go his way he is never shown without optimism, and actually tries to make the best out of everything he experiences, often mentioning that he "will learn from that" when something excites or amuses him in particular.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Theodore is a fair-skinned young man. He has white hair with red highlights and blue eyes. He wears a pair of green framed glasses and he usually wears the standard Den City High School uniform. His uniform consists of a slate colored jacket with light blue trim, a white dress shirt with a pink necktie, black pants, and brown shoes.
During his days off he wears a blue hoodie with dark blue hem and strings with a white shirt underneath, dark teal pants and black shoes with white laces and four dots in either side of his shoes.
As Soulburner in LINK VRAINS, he removes his spectacles and his eyes turn gold. His hair becomes slightly longer and his central bangs reverse direction and become more angular. The upper layer of his hair becomes turquoise, while the bottom layer and his eyebrows both become blue and more prominent. His bangs become red; the framing bangs are shot through with orange, while the central bang turns orange. Soulburner wears a grey jumpsuit patterned with orange flames licking the limbs, red rib sections, and a yellow arrowhead shape running down his chest with a triangular aquamarine gem in the center. He has red shoulder-pads, greaves, and a gauntlet on his left hand and an elbow-guard on his right arm, which is bare to the wrist. Soulburner wears gloves with a similar basic design; the one on his right hand is a fingerless red glove with orange knuckles and a square-shaped section missing from the back of the hand, and the one on his left is black, with red knuckles and a red patch on the back of his hand. He also wears red boots with grey, orange-lined tongues and orange soles. Soulburner wears an unusual scarf around his neck that appears to "flicker"; small sections either hover separately as if they were attached or are constantly emitted. The scarf is able to appear and disappear accordingly, similar to a D-Board.
Before moving to Den City, Theodore wore a white hoodie with yellow highlights over a black shirt, as well as white pants with black and white shoes. He also sported a different hairstyle, having his hair gelled backwards. After returning back to his hometown, he wears the same outfit but with same hairstyle as his current self alongside his glasses.
As a child, Theodore wore a white shirt with a blue jacket, and had his present day haircut.

True to his persona, Theodore is a fiery passionate duelist who views dueling as a way to regain himself, after losing a part of himself because of the experiments done to him by the Hanoi Knights. He is brave, smart and fierce during duels, but regrets that he did not go after the Hanoi Knights like Playmaker did. Even though he knows that the Hanoi Knights are gone, Theodore sees SOL Technologies as being equally culpable to the suffering caused by the Hanoi Project. As a result, Theodore has a deep hatred towards the Hanoi Project for causing the death of his parents, even going as far as blindly challenging Varis to a duel despite the latter's genuine interest in working together.
Theodore views The Gore, Blue Angel and Playmaker as heroes for stopping the Tower of Hanoi, and respects them, to the point where he learned their real world identities (even though he is bad at programming and hacking). He becomes thrilled when he gets to Duel them, regardless of their intentions. Occasionally, Theodore shows a lack of confidence in himself and what he is doing, so he counts on Flame to give him advice on his next move.
After moving to Den City, Theodore has become polite and less rude. As a result of his torturous experience on the Hanoi Project, Theodore had a crippling fear of " Despair from the Dark " a monster that would regularly cause him nightmarish times, both figuratively and literally and that became the symbol of every torment he endured. Thanks to Flame, he was able to overcome his trauma and no longer daunted by the Zombie Monster.
Theodore has also shown to have a sense of justice as he vowed to defeat Windy in order to avenge his partner and when he promised to defeat Bohman and Lightning to avenge Kolter.

Referencing ikebana being Japanese art, Lotus wears a red colored kimono and what appears to be a hair veil. She has long straight black hair and blue eyes. Between her front bangs and above her eyebrows appears to be a pair of antennae that resemble flower pistil and/or a butterfly's antennae.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Harlin is a seemingly young boy with blond hair and orange and red highlights. He wears a blue long-sleeved shirt with a red tie and a white blazer with yellow accents, plus a large red star on his collar, orange pants with yellow and blue accents, a pink belt with silver and blue details, and yellow-white shoes with pink trim and stars.

Despite his childlike appearance, Harlin does not act very childish. He is very unscrupulous. While making a wager, he will not uphold his end of the deal upon losing.
While he seemed loyal, he shows some resentment towards his role. While he was created to be Bohman's "brother" he did not understand what that meant. He even expressed anger towards him, always having to watch over him. However, despite this, Harlin realized he did truly care about Bohman and understood what being brothers meant after he lost to Blue Maiden.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Tyranno has a very muscular physique and his outfit follows a dinosaur and military theme. His usual outfit consists of a Ra Yellow uniform with no sleeves and a duller shade of yellow with a green muscle shirt underneath. He has a tanned appearance. He also wears beige combat pants, white wristbands with matching bands just above his feet, a bandanna featuring a dinosaur face, bone earrings, and a necklace of dinosaur bones. His hair consists of long, black dreadlocks. Sometimes his pupils are narrowed into reptile-like slits and the color of his eyes lighten to make his eyes look more like a dinosaur's. He carries an Academy-issued Duel Disk on his left hand. In flashbacks, Tyranno is seen wearing a Jurassic Park T-shirt.

Hassleberry is introduced as an arrogant bully, but after his defeat against Jaden, he becomes nicer and more social. He can be somewhat insensitive and hypocritical and is shown to be possessive of his relationship with Jaden. However, when the situation demands it, Hassleberry is the first to set aside differences and work as a team, in comparison to Syrus. Hassleberry values loyalty immensely; he is disappointed when he is abandoned by his "troops" and loyally follows Jaden into danger and defends him after they begin their friendship, and despondent when Blair Flannigan devalues the concept of the Pair Duels.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

He is a very tall thin old man with dark skin. He has light gray hair, huge eyebrows and a gray mustache. He mostly is seen wearing a suit and has wrinkles on his face.

He is a very sweet and kind old man. He also has a lot of knowledge about Duel Monsters and much like Solomon Muto, has a fascination with ancient stone carvings. Much of his research involves these carvings and he treasures his findings very much as evidenced in Season 4 when his lab was destroyed and he was captured.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Her appearance in this arc is different from her appearance in Waking the Dragons. She still keeps the short skirt, but wears thigh-high socks to cover her legs. She also wears a light blue top over a grey T-shirt and reverted back to having two pigtails. She has blue eyes, light blonde hair and light pale skin.

She was very rude and mean at first when meeting new people such as Yugi. She also looked down on ranks as second rank wasn't that important to her but she only cared about first place. She also use to talk to a stuffed teddy bear that she calls Teddy. However she starts to be kindly to Yugi and his friends. She even has a crush on him and fights Vivian Wong for his affection. Rebecca doesn't really seem to fight Tea for Yugi's affection as she can tell that Tea (in the Japanese version) has a crush on Yami Yugi.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Risa is a young girl with brown wavy hair and blue eyes. Her standard attire consists black coat, pink tie, black pants and black shoes.

Akira was approached by Risa, who gave him coffee. However, she got too excited and spilled some coffee on the table. Akira forgave her, and asked about her work history. Risa was thrilled, thinking how Akira cared about her, but he specified he only wished to know that as her boss. Risa counted three years since her employment, as Akira noted she could not know the location of the incident that had happened ten years ago. Risa confirmed this, since her specialty was managing equipment, which was stored in a special room inside SOL Technologies building. Akira was not pleased, since he could not touch the equipment that held the data. He left off to go to his house, while Risa noted how cool he was, even if he was demoted. [1]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Mr. Heartland appears as a man usually seen in a green suit which covers a yellow shirt. He also sports a pair of stylish orange glasses with a crimson "V" shape (similar to a heart) in the center. His hair is a similar green to his suit with a lighter green fringe. During the World Duel Carnival , he is mainly seen in a golden suit covered in pink hearts. With this costume, he also wears a top hat with a similar style as well as a bow tie covered in spots. After being returned to his human form by Vector , Mr. Heartland wears a white suit with insect wing-like coat tails and a hat with pink and yellow heart-shaped patterns. He also sports a cane with a head that resembles bug eyes.

Mr. Heartland's Barian form.

Heartland's Barian form gives him a distinct, demonic appearance vaguely similar to his "Number" with purple and red skin, yellow eyes, bulging muscles, and a set of insect wings with a dark red fly thorax at the back. He loses his glasses and his head mutates and elongates, giving it the appearance of a bulbous thorax. His new face appears fairly insectile with jagged teeth and a set of jagged mandibles across his face (which makes him, along with Chironex , the only Barian to have a moving mouth). He also features seven red eyes along his abdomen and one at the top of his forehead.

To the people of Heartland , he is a benevolent government official who cares about the people who lived there. However, his true personality is that of a manipulative and deceitful man. He is willing to blackmail Kite in order to make him do what Dr. Faker wants. He seems to enjoy seeing others in agony as he laughed when he tortured his child soldiers. He also gets annoyed if anybody calls him an "old man" ("dude" and "Mrs. Heartland" in the dub). He is also shown to be more malicious than Dr. Faker as when Hart was harmed by Vetrix , he did not show any concern. Mr. Heartland is also extremely shallow, taking huge pride in his appearance. This was also shown when he burst into tears when Erazor destroyed a statue of him.
He is also very loyal to Vector for rescuing him from the Barian Sea and later for returning to his human form. He's also fearful of his wrath due to his recurring failures.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Yuzu has blue eyes and dark pink midback-length hair, which she wears tied up in pigtails, clipped down by blue, spherical hair clips. Her hair also features two lighter pink bangs that fall to the side of her face. Yuzu's outfit consists of a sleeveless light-blue and white shirt with a musical note on the right collar, along with a red tie, which she wears with a dark red skirt and dark stockings. Unlike her anime and special chapter counterpart she doesn't wear her signature bracelet . During her and Yuto's infiltration of the Leo Corporation , she wears a pantsuit and spectacles.

As opposed to her anime counterpart, Yuzu is less mature, making her more persistent and somewhat childish in her own way. Her school's financial crisis makes her a gold digger, taking any opportunity to get money to the point of being reckless. This also make her quite stingy as she refused to give payment accordingly to others while she demands herself to be given a high payment. Once she set her mind on something, she is prepared to use tricks to ensure that she get what she wants. She experiences a slight inferiority complex when it comes to sex appeal, as shown when she was irritated at the body figure of " Enter-Mate Uni " and " Enter-Mate Corn ". In addition to this, she's easily smitten to any handsome guys, usually reacting like a fangirl whenever she sees one such as when Yuya summoned " Enter-Mate Handsome Liger ".


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Mitsuko is a large humanoid alien, around three meters in height. She has shoulder-length black hair with two spikes on each side of her head tinted red at the tips and blue eyes. She wears a shoulderless black garment resembling a tube top under a shoulderless gray dress that exposes her black underclothing at the sides and is connected at the back by a gold ring, with black sleeves and gray leggings.
In her disguise, Mitsuko wears a large alien costume conceptually based on the flatwoods monster. The costume has a helmet shaped like a round, blood-red face with two glowing red eyes and a large pointed "hood-like shape" around the face shaped like a spade suit in playing cards. While acting on its own, her helmet gains a third eye and all three eyes glow yellow instead of red. Her body is clad in a large black and charcoal dress projected from the helmet, and she has small, claw-like hands with three claws on each. When not projecting the costume, her helmet grows six tentacles from below instead.

Mitsuko seems to have a strong affinity with the number three, often using the number as a verbal tic. She also enjoys scaring children more than eating, which Zuwijo used to his advantage in having her lure Yudias to the the abandoned factory he was hiding in with urban myths that were scaring children in order to have Yudias Duel her


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Crow has dark-grey eyes and brushy-spiked orange hair with a viridian headband embroidered with two rings at the right side. He wears his outfit from his days as a part of The Enforcers , which consists of blue jeans, a yellow t-shirt, and a sleeveless brown cargo vest. He also wears a pair of earrings in the shape of washers . While riding his Duel Runner , he always wears a beak-shaped black helmet with plumes sticking from the sides, which includes an orange eyeshield and decorated with a red gem. During the World Racing Grand Prix , he wore a brown racing leather jacket.
One unique thing about him are the criminal marks on his face. He has been marked at least twice; he only had the "M" in his time with The Enforcers so he gained the dot and eye marks after leaving the team.

Though possessing similar qualities and ideas to Yusei , such as having a selfless and heroic personality, helping others when needed, Crow is proven an impulsive and daring person who will rise up to any challenge and show that he is not a pushover. He is also generous and altruistic, as he is willing to fight for the sake of his friends and for those he considers his family, including underprivileged children that he helped raise in Satellite . In the dub, Crow has a fear of clowns due to an incident on his fifth birthday.
Crow seems to have taken Jack's advice to heart about growth. At the final party between Team 5D's, Jack stated if the bonds of his friends are inhibiting his growth, that means it is time to move on his own. Eight years later, after realizing his Turbo Dueling team has nothing more to offer him nor does he have anymore more to offer them, he decided it is time to duel full-time on his own.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Crow's design is virtually identical to that of his Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's counterpart. He has dark-grey eyes and orange hair restrained by a leather band with twin rings piercing it, as well as several criminal marks on his face (in this incarnation given to him in some way in re-education camps), an "M" and a dot on his forehead, and a full-cheek line and triangle on each side of his face. His ears have piercings with bolts hanging from them.
Crow wears a simple orange shirt and teal pants with knee pads. He wears a brown sleeveless vest over it and elbow length fingerless gloves, with studded bands strapped around his wrists and forearms, and heavily strapped tan boots. He wears a black helmet with wing-like attachments while riding his Duel Runner.

Crow Hogan has a similar personality to his 5D's counterpart. He deeply cares for the children he looks after, shown when he got angry at Sector Security when they approached them. He also respects those who protect children, telling Yuya Sakaki that he was impressed with him protecting Riley whilst Dueling Security. [1] He opposes them stealing when he got angry at Frank and Tarren for stealing and likewise when he was arrested, he told the children not to steal.
Though he cares about his friends, he believes people should look after their own group when he rejected Yuya from joining his escape plan, though he later changed his mind after being convinced by Gong Strong , who noticed Yuya was upset since he was worried about Zuzu Boyle . [2]
He dislikes the Topsiders , seeing them as repressive and unfair, [3] but is not as rebellious about it as his friend Shinji Weber, being open to other, less violent options. Where Shinji considers an all-out revolution the only option for improving the Commons' life standards, Crow once believed a Common rising to Duel King like Jack Atlas did would allow said individual to turn society around from the inside, although this turned out to be a deception as Jack never changed anything. Like many Commons, Crow considers Jack a traitor for this reason and urged Yuya to crush him during their Turbo Duel . [4] Notably, rather than insult the Topsiders while he continued Shinji's cause, Crow instead focused on emphasizing the bonds that the Commons share between one another.
He gets into silly quarrels easily, as shown where he and Yuya got into an argument about their reasons for Dueling. [5]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Crow's main feature is his orange, spiked hair which is held up by a headband. Leo often mocks Crow for his hairstyle, often calling him "Broom Head". [3] Crow's attire consists of a brown, sleeveless jacket over a yellow shirt, two grey finger-less gloves, green pants and brown boots. He also wears two black bands around his arms. Crow also has several Criminal marks on his face, but it's unknown how he acquired them. He is also mocked for them by Sect Ijuin , who calls him "M-Head". [2]

Crow is shown to be extremely friendly, making friends with Yusei Fudo straight away in the D1 Grand Prix. He is also very protective of anyone as well as his turbo Duelists pride as he protected two innocent bystanders from being killed by a stray missile fired by Leo's " Power Tool Mecha Dragon ". [6] Crow also gets into small arguments easily, which often results in petty name calling, as seen with Sect and Leo. [3]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Kaseki is a tan-skinned bespectacled boy of average height with brown hair that spikes out to the sides in a somewhat similar manner to Jim Crocodile Cook and green eyes. He wears clothing designed for the outdoors; a tan shirt with the sleeves rolled up, thick green pants tucked into brown boots, white gloves for careful handling of fossils, a tan wide-brimmed had with a red band around the base, a brown satchel, and a green bandanna around his neck with a dinosaur face print.

Kaseki is a friendly individual, and despite not being the president of the Dueling & Dinosaur Research Club he is the most forward of the group and seems to make many of their decisions. He is tremendously disappointed after finding that Gossie was not real.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Chumley's character design was overseen by Kenichi Hara . His usual outfit consists of the standard Slifer Red uniform, though its colors are inverted to include a larger section of white than red. His face, build, and hairstyle were made to resemble a koala. As conceived, the character was very muscular, but his muscle tone is removed from the dub to make him appear obese. He carries a Duel Academy-issued Duel Disk on his left hand.

Chumley is portrayed as a lazy and gluttonous Duelist who could never win a Duel and hated exercising. Though a loyal friend, he was never really into putting himself in any danger, being a very reluctant participant. However, he would prefer his friends over any amount of grilled cheeses. He eventually turns from a lazy flunky to a respected card designer working with Maximillion Pegasus.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Sect is quite small, having a similar height and appearance to Leo [2] . Sect originally wore a white biker outfit with a blue pattern and a helmet of a similar design. He also wore a pair of goggles on his helmet and a crimson scarf. After siding with the Skeleton Knight, Sect wears black and gold medieval armor and a red cape, similar to that worn by The Supreme King . Sect also has brown hair and blue eyes. After Summoning " Archfiend Dragon Beelze " his skin began to crack, leaving scars across his face. [3] His skin healed after he Summoned " Archfiend Uber Dragon Beelzeus " for the first time, but his scleras turned black. [4]
Sect's Duel Runner is in the shape of an ant, referencing his Insect Deck. Sometime after his Duel with Jack Atlas , Sect received a new, more modern Duel Runner with a sleek design.

Sect was originally a fun person, believing that Duels were fun, even when he lost. After acquiring his " Duel Dragon ", he became quite secretive, hiding it from Yusei. He also has a tendency to get into arguments easily, seen when Crow Hogan pushed him aside and getting angry at him (Crow) for it, calling him "M-Head," as a reference to Crow's M-shaped criminal mark. After being affected by its Shadow Miasma, Sect's personality became dark with him believing that Yusei looks down on him rather than seeing him as a rival. During his Duel with Akiza , Sect mocked her throughout the Duel, especially when she wrongly predicted the turn he'd lose.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Iris resembles a younger version of Rio Kastle in many aspects; only the color of her hair (which is green) and her eyes (which are blue) differ from her. She wears a peach dress with black rope around her waist and brown sandals.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Isaac wears glasses and has long light hair with a jacket. The left side of his face bears a scar similar to Eve 's.

Isaac is a scientist with an avid interest in Solid Vision technology, expressing a devotion to Adam and Eve. He also has a spiteful streak as seen when he provoked Reiji by revealing that his father was not acting on his own will when he developed the Solid Vision technology.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Ishizu has long straight black hair that trails just below her shoulders and features 2 locks wrapped in gold rings coming from behind her ears and continue in front, stopping at her neck. She is slender in build and has tanned skin. She wears the Millennium Necklace around her neck prior to giving it to Yugi .
Ishizu's first outfit consists of a long ankle length dress partially bearing her shoulders featuring black patterns around the neck and the rims of the sleeves. Her jewelry consists of a gold piece of headwear circling her head and featuring an emerald where it meets at the front.
During the Battle City tournament she wears a cream colored sleeveless one-piece dress with the bottom similar to a sarong , a matching waist length veil which widens and spreads below her shoulders and gold sandals. Her jewelry consists of gold bracelets, ankle bracelets, armbands and brooch bearing the Eye of Wdjat on her veil. She initially wears a piece of cloth over her mouth to conceal her identity.
In the Japanese version, Ishizu uses the personal pronoun watakushi , an antiquated and archaic self-reference.

Ishizu is portrayed as a kind, wise, compassionate, spiritual, and intelligent woman displaying strong maternal characteristics who exhibits a selfless concern for the well being of others.
She is solicitous about the welfare of her family members and those around her, especially her brother Marik (particularly when she joins the Battle City tournament to try to save him), and is loyal to her family's duty to the Pharaoh. Spiritually, Ishizu is known for preaching her beliefs in the nature of fate and destiny, whether its through following her visions, predicting the future with her Millennium Necklace, or remaining committed to her family's destiny to serve the pharaoh.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Marik's initial outfit consists of purple hooded robes with the Eye of Anubis on it, and a long purple cape with a gold chain at the front. He wears golden earrings, three bands of neckwear, an armband on each arm, and five bracelets on each arm starting from close to his elbows down to his wrists. He has dark skin, purple eyes and white-gold hair that occasionally appears as more light gray hair, especially in the Battle City tournament and at night.
When he arrived in Domino City, he wore a sleeveless light purple hoodie with two gold chains on the front, black pants, and black shoes. While in Battle City , he acquires a KaibaCorp Duel Disk on his left arm. In the manga, his pants are beige and he wears a black tank top underneath his hoodie, which would come to be the clothes his split personality would wear, minus the hoodie. The anime goofs with Marik's civilian outfit, by giving him black pants. When Yami Marik takes over, he is correctly shown wearing beige pants.
When he was switched with Dark Marik as his sacrifice during his battle against Yami Yugi, he wears the outfit that Dark Marik wore but he removes the purple cloak before he destroys his dark self in the shadow game.
Throughout Season 5, Marik eventually changed in a steel blue shirt with a black vest over it, two black and gold bracelets, light gray pants, and black shoes.

As a child, Marik was an innocent boy who desired to see the outside world, despite his clan's laws forbidding him from doing so, and was willing to sneak out to fulfill his desire. He cared for his sister Ishizu Ishtar very much and considered Odion to be his brother, despite not being blood related.
Marik bore a grudge towards the Pharaoh because he was forced by his own father to guard the family's carving with his life via a ritual of having carvings (in the anime's Japanese version and the original manga) or tattoos (in the anime's dub) onto his back which brought intense pain during and after the ritual and robbed him of his freedom.
With the excruciating pain and his resentment towards the Pharaoh, he spawned his second personality Yami Marik to deal with the pain. A year later when his father brutally tortured Odion for helping Marik and Ishizu to sneak outside, Marik was unconscious while Yami Marik killed his father and woke up with no recollection of his father's murder. Immediately afterwards, he sees a loyalist to the Pharaoh, Shadi , had come to warn him about the dangerous path he had taken. Marik thought that Shadi had murdered his father, leading to Marik's betrayal of the clan to get revenge against the Pharaoh (this aspect is removed from the dub).
While leading the Rare Hunters in his quest for revenge and freedom, Marik became cruel and uncaring, willing to use the Millennium Rod to brainwash people to do his bidding, forcing them to steal, cheat, and use cruelty on his behalf. The victims included Bandit Keith and Strings . He was not above using death to punish his subordinates for failure, such as Arkana and Lumis , nor did he care about sacrificing Rare Hunters to test fake " The Winged Dragon of Ra " cards which produced severe injuries and death. He even threatened his sister Ishizu with the Millennium Rod for getting in his way and ordered Odion to use the fake Ra card against his will. He still retained his love for his family, despite his mistreatment of them.

IV challenged Team ZEXAL as they were the winners of the Team Duel Tournament , where he easily managed to defeat Tetsuo and Takashi . After winning, he made fun of them which angered Yuma who then challenged IV to a Duel. Yuma then managed to win, causing IV to fall to the floor in rage. [1]
IV later appeared at the Duel Team Carnival , having formed a team with his brothers, III and V . [2]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Akiza is a teenager of average height, with fair skin, brown eyes, and dark burgundy hair. Her hair is mostly chin-length with the addition of elbow-length bangs that frame both sides of her face. She rolls her front bangs with a device similar to a hair curler on top of her head, which helps her restrain her powers, while a bit hangs down on each side.

Akiza in the original (left) and in the dub (right).

Her wardrobe appears to have Victorian influences, and typically consists of a high-collared, low-cut red corset with short, light green puffy sleeves worn underneath a sleeveless, magenta trenchcoat that flares behind her, being shorter and pleated in the front, and black, elbow-length, fingerless gloves with gold bracelets above them; below that, she wears red high-heeled pumps and black thigh-high stockings connected to a skirt by suspenders. (In the dub, her cleavage is either covered or made smaller and her stockings are edited to remove the suspenders). In addition to this, she wears a red neck choker and an emerald crested, golden cross-shaped medallion.
Akiza's first Duel Disk has pink, purple, and red trim with purple jewels. Later on, she uses the hybrid Duel Disk attached to her Duel Runner , which has the same color scheme as the previous one.
For Turbo Duels , Akiza instead uses a form-fitting, red motorcycle suit which shows her cleavage, along with an enclosed helmet, and boots.
When at school, she wears the Duel Academy girls uniform. It consists of a burgundy coat, white button-down shirt, same stockings as her usual attire, a medium-length skirt, and a green tie.
On formal occasions she wears a short red dress with long white gloves and red high heels.
After Yusei 's Duel against Z-one , Akiza had longer hair and had her bangs cut. She also wore a red headband. During the dinner party in the last episodes, she wore a white top and brown sandals, and, in the final episode, she wore a red shirt, stockings, and red high-heeled pumps.

Due to having been rejected by her parents as a child and treated like a monster for years on end, Akiza was initially a very insecure, unstable, and spiteful individual who viewed everyone around her as an enemy and took sadistic pleasure in deliberately hurting people with her powers. At the same time, however, she also suffered from immense self-hatred and was miserable in her personal belief that she would never be able to live a normal life no matter how hard she tried.
Although Sayer gave her hope in her life again when he took her in and showed her compassion, he also deliberately manipulated her for his own agenda, causing her sorrow and rage towards the world to only increase day by day. After meeting Yusei, however, Akiza finally started to question whether she had made the right choice to give up on herself and as a result, her focus started to slip and her performance started to decline. When Sayer was seemingly killed by Carly and her parents tried to make amends with her, Akiza (with help from Yusei) was finally able to find peace and obtain the normal life that she had desired from the beginning.
After reconciling with her family and finding her place amongst the Signers, Akiza became a much more selfless, sweet, cheery, and heroic person, causing her to develop a habit of jumping up to help her friends whenever possible. She also grew close with Leo and Luna, who came to see her as an older sister figure, and developed romantic feelings for Yusei, as displayed by how she would always get easily worked up whenever he was in some sort of danger [4] .

Akiza is a teenager of average height. She has fair skin, brown eyes, and dark burgundy hair. Her hair is mostly chin-length with the addition of long, elbow-length bangs that frame both sides of her face. She rolls her front bangs with a device similar to a hair curler on top of her head while a bit hangs down on each side.
Her wardrobe appears to have Victorian influences, but also bears resemblance to uniforms that were worn by female military generals during the 1980s. Akiza wears a low-cut red corset with short, light green puffy sleeves and a high collar. She also sports a sleeveless magenta trench coat that flares behind her which is shorter and pleated in the front.
She wears a red neck choker and an emerald crested, golden cross-shaped medallion, as well as a pair of dark, elbow-length gloves with a pair of gold bracelets above them. Her stockings are the same color as her gloves, and are connected to her skirt and she wears red high-heeled pumps.

Akiza's Duel Academy Sanctuary outfit.

During her Turbo Duel with Ran, Akiza wore a form fitting motorcycle red suit which shows her cleavage, along with an enclosed helmet, and high heel boots. [1] She also rides the Bloody Kiss Duel Runner . Whilst Akiza attended the Duel Academy Sanctuary, she wore a formal student's outfit and sported shorter hair. She also uses an Academy Duel Disk whilst attending the institution. [4] When transformed into a " Duel Priestess " by Rex Goodwin , Akiza wears a long-flowing and wavy trench coat with a mini skirt, corset and two bracelets. She also wears her hair down in a similar fashion to when her anime counterpart's psychic abilities take over. [5]

In contrast to her anime counterpart 's original personality, Akiza is a warm and friendly person who enjoys Duels and making friends. She also doesn't look down on people for losing and believes Dueling is for fun purposes. Akiza is also "obstinate" according to Sherry LeBlanc . [4]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Jakob is the largest member both in height and mass of the Three Pure Nobles . Although no official height has been given, Jakob is over seven feet tall and has massive arms, as seen when Sherry was able to wrap her entire body around one of his arms. As the oldest Noble of Iliaster , Jakob has wrinkled skin, most notably under his eyes, and a long, father-time style gray beard that reaches all the way down to his waist. In addition to the beard, Jakob has an overgrown right eyebrow that covers his right eye, and his left eye is dark yellow. Other than the beard and the eyebrow, Jakob does not have any other hair on his head. Being one of Aporia 's embodiments, he strongly resembles Aporia while in his old age, but the original Aporia was short and slim, while Jakob was tall and muscular.
Like the other Nobles, Jakob primarily wears white, has a white cloak and hood, and a red gem on his head. Unlike the other Nobles though, Jakob's gem is above his right eye instead of between his eyes. He also has a gray patch with an infinity symbol on his face, but unlike Lester and Primo , Jakob's patch covers his nose and mouth similar to a gas mask, which muffles his voice.
Jakob's color variation other than the white is a dark golden orange, as seen on his pants, front, and the shoulder pads that pin his cloak. Jakob wears black gloves, metal arm bands and black boots. His pants, which are golden orange and white, are loose around his feet and underneath it, he wears black boots. The white cloak that Jakob wears covers a white armor shell over his chest, back, and shoulders, which on the front bears an infinity symbol similar to that of the " Meklord Emperors ". However, rather than a glowing green core, Jakob's symbol is shut. Directly underneath the symbol on the chest, Jakob's abdomen unfolds to reveal a Duel Disk is built into him.

Jakob acts as the group's superior and is the wisest of the trio. He moves slowly and methodically, planning each move carefully, holding a great deal of patience to both complete his plan, and dealing with obstacles in his path, especially when it comes to Primo , who has not always been in agreement with him and has attempted to thwart his plans so he can go forward with his own. Jakob though is not all calm, showing a great distaste for humanity as he sees them as arrogant, shortsighted, and in constant need of Iliaster 's help to stay on God's path to avoid destruction. He holds a cold attitude towards those he's harmed, such as Sherry LeBlanc , justifying her parents' murder and his lacking memory of why Iliaster did it as just another correction in history.
Being the incarnation of Aporia's golden years, Jakob reflects on himself through observing his own teammates; thinking back to when he was younger while watching Lester Duel Luna and Leo, and how he outgrew Primo's brash arrogance when planning the Diablo Duelbot Army.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Jinlon's human form is a stout man with his most notable features being his long white beard and braided ponytail, tied at the end by a blue ribbon. His attire consists of a red and black ceremonial robe tied around at his waist which he wears over a gray shirt. He also wears dark green pants and sandals with white socks. He also sports a brown, carved walking stick which transforms into his Duel Disk when he Duels. His true form is " Number 46: Dragluon ".

Johnson is tall, wears glasses and has dark hair. Johnson Wears a blue business suit. In the virtual world, he takes the appearance of Judge Man .

Johnson is dishonest and sneaky. In his law career he would deceive the court and in his Duel with Joey Wheeler , he manipulated the outcome of Joey's chance-based cards to have them not end up in Joey's favor if they initially were.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Grizzlepike appears as a tall and muscular young man with a build comparable to that of Gong . He wears a pair of blue pants and what appears to be a red sash on his abdomen, with a purple shirt with thick pauldrons along a blue jacket. Noteworthy he also wears a pair of steel bracers and sandals.

Grizzlepike is a devoted follower of the Sledgehammer , so much that when a distraught Yuya offered to fight the Sledgehammer, Grizzlepike offered to take Sledgehammer's place to face Yuya. He is malicious and believes only in strength, having seemingly no moral or ethical concepts of sportsmanship as demonstrated by the way he bullied and humiliated Yuya and left the Strong Dojo because their discipline conflicted with his beliefs of winning at all costs. So much he desires to win that he uses underhanded means to disrupt his opponents plays and break their spirit. Grizzlepike seems to be a misanthropist at heart, as he believes that people betray one another and that there is nothing worth believing in the world, a philosophy that is reflected in his Deck 's strategy.
Perhaps the only positive trait about Grizzlepike, is that he studies and prepares for his Duels accordingly, as he researched that Gong used Synchro Summoning to win his Duels and prepared a countermeasure.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Anna has red hair, styled in a manner similar to Jaden Yuki 's, but with longer hair. Her usual attire is a pink and white shirt, which reaches below her waist, black compression shorts and a pair of boots in the same colors as her shirt. During the World Duel Carnival Finals , she initially wore a brown cloak over this outfit to hide her identity.

Anna in Tori 's uniform.

When she participated in the Couples Duel tournament, she stole and wore Tori 's school uniform along with her brown shoes and socks. After the ceremonial Duel between Yuma and Astral, Anna was seen wearing her own first-year student Heartland Academy uniform. In the dub, her skirt was lengthened.

When speaking in the Japanese version, Anna uses "ore" (俺) when referring to herself (supporting her tough girl attitude), a pronoun that is predominantly used by males and very seldom used by females (who are most likely tomboys in nature). Anna is also shown to be quite hotheaded and reckless, often rushing into things without thinking the situation through.
Astral calls her Dueling style very reckless (using up her entire hand in the second turn) but also very calculated (being able to push her opponent in a corner in only the third turn), which coincides with her personality.
Anna has also displayed a degree of selfishness, seen when she had difficulty working together with Yuma Tsukumo during the Couples Duel tournament , using his monsters to bring out her own (using his " Gogogo Golem " to Xyz Summon her ace card , as well as Tributing his " Gauntlet Launcher " with " Upgrade " to revive the aforementioned card). She was able to put aside her pride at the end of the Duel and activate " Devoted Love ", knowing it would cause her to lose but give Yuma an opportunity for victory.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Kagemaru is a fit, but extremely elderly fragile man with sharp facial features, a top bald head and thick white hair and beard flowing down past his shoulders. During the temporary recovery of his youth, Kagemaru possessed an extremely muscular and burly body with his thick, long black hair and sideburns while his beard mystically disappears. His youth state appears as two stages: ① 2 and then ② 3 Sacred Beasts absorbing Duel Monster Spirits . With ①, he recovers his musculature, rough skin and wild hair during his late 50's. With ②, he recovers his luscious sharp hair and smooth skin during his 30's. During that period, he is also mostly naked and wears a cloth strip-like fundoshi .
At stage ①, Kagemaru's hair temporarily attains aspects that defied physics: floating slightly static in the air.
Later in Jaden Yuki's graduation year, he as an elder wears a suit and sits in a wheelchair with external aid.

Youthful Kagemaru ②, from the power of the 3 Sacred Beasts.

His fallacy is youth and the fulfilled strength it brings like a domineering company president. In his aged state, he was very patient as a ruthless wise man and waited years after founding Duel Academy, Central Academy to revive the Sacred Beasts he personally sealed there.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Gozaburo's appearance was that of a tall man, with gray hair and a mustache. In the manga, his facial expressions showed evil and madness when he committed suicide, while in the anime, he seemed like a calm and deceitful man. He usually wore a red business suit, a black tie, and a white inner long-sleeved dress shirt. Gozaburo had brown eyes and was fair skinned.

Gozaburo was a strict and persistent man. He was considered evil by many because he constantly manipulated people, including his own son, to achieve his goals. At first, Gozaburo appeared to be a caring father, training his son to succeed him as CEO of KaibaCorp. He never really cared for Noah, and rather just saw him as a tool for KaibaCorp to take over the world with. His plan was to make Noah's mindset identical to his to accomplish his goal. After Noah's accident, he only wanted to save him at any cost, but by doing so, he discovered a plan to destroy the real world and rule the virtual world instead. However, Gozaburo saw Noah's death as having a wrench thrown into his plans and did not really care about him. In addition, his company was originally a manufacturer for machines and war type weapons which fit into his lust for power. Despite going to Seto and Mokuba's orphanage to give toys to the children, this was only done for publicity as he didn't show much interest in children at all. However, when Seto made a deal with Gozaburo to take him and Mokuba in if he beat him at chess, he agreed mainly because he didn't believe Seto would beat him but did.  While not impressed that he was beaten Gozaburo adopted the two anyway because it would ruin his image if he did not. Originally, Gozaburo planned to have Seto become a host to replace Noah's dead body because of the limitations of the virtual world. In the English dub, Seto proved himself more capable than Noah, so he ultimately scrapped the plan. In the original, that never occurred because Noah's lack of interactions with real people inhibited his maturity. In both instances, he originally adopted Seto to be Noah's new body; upon hearing that, Yami Yugi, despite his difference with Seto, understood why he hated Gozaburo so much. He usually didn't recognize the hard work of the Big Five. He was very strict with Seto, though he was nicer (or at least not as openly cruel) to Mokuba. Meanwhile, Gozaburo used Noah to set his ambition into motion. [7]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Mokuba has tan skin with grayish-purple eyes and long black hair. In the flashback, Mokuba was seen wearing a greenish-blue long sleeve sweatshirt, black shorts, white socks, and black dress shoes. In the present, he wore a white and orange-striped open-collared shirt with a red sweatshirt over it, a light blue bandana around his neck, light blueish-green jeans, and light blue/black sneakers. Occasionally, Mokuba puts up his bandana like a mask and wears a purple hat to hide his identity. During the events of Battle City (as well as most of the series), Mokuba wears a green blue-striped shirt with a yellow vest over it, dark blue jeans, and blue sneakers.
In Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions , Mokuba was given a redesign, wearing a white business suit and having his long hair cut short.

At the beginning of the manga , Mokuba was very mean and would go as far as trying to trick Yugi Mutou to get back at him for defeating his older brother, Seto Kaiba . Mokuba is a gamer who specializes in Capsule Monster Chess ( Capmon ), but is not as good of a gamer as his brother. He is so committed to avenging his brother's humiliation, he uses several extreme measures, such as having his friends brandish a machine gun, a knife, and a stun gun in one manga chapter to coerce Yugi to play Capsule Monster Chess with him.
In the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters anime , Mokuba is eternally devoted to his brother Seto Kaiba and is constantly by his side. He is more naive and good-natured, and will do whatever his brother tells him to. Indeed, Mokuba is perhaps the source of his brother's more human and positive traits, and Mokuba has acknowledged that to everyone else Kaiba can seem like an unpleasant person to be around but Mokuba recognizes the good in his brother and looks past Kaiba's flaws. He also seems to trust Yugi and his friends more than he did previously. There is a part in one episode when he saw Yami Yugi watching him from another building when he was about to kick some brothers out of the Battle City grounds, when he considered, "You know, I bet Yugi would give them another chance!", which shows that he must really respect Yugi, as he starts to want to think and be like him.
In the original Japanese version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga, Mokuba tends to omit honorifics when referring to people other than his older brother, a habit which he shares with Kaiba. Mokuba politely refers to his older brother as "nii-sama" (honorable older brother) and he is very forgiving, especially towards Kaiba. Even after Noah hypnotized him, and brainwashed him into forgetting who Kaiba and the others were, Mokuba forgave him and treated him like a brother (they are actually stepbrothers).
In the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters anime, Mokuba is a kind-hearted boy who is naive to the ways of the world but is also shown to be a quick escape artist. He succeeds in befriending Yugi and his friends, even though Kaiba doesn’t approve of this. Mokuba does not Duel in the first series anime. He only Duels in the second series and manga. Mokuba has an unlucky streak of being kidnapped by Kaiba's enemies, forcing Kaiba to show his kinder side and rescue him. Mokuba is the only person his brother is shown to consistently care about, despite Mokuba snapping at him once.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Noah's usual outfit consists of a white long-sleeved jacket with purple markings, white shorts, navy blue knee socks and brown loafers. He has green and teal hair, blue eyes and fair skin.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Kaiba's character design was overseen by Kazuki Takahashi . His usual outfit from the second series anime (starting in episode 54 ) consists of a long white sleeveless KaibaCorp -designed coat featuring shoulder pads and a raised studded collar, with black sleeves from his shirt coming out from under. He has extra belts in pairs strapped around his upper arms and shins. He often wears a KaibaCorp Duel Disk on his left arm.
In his initial appearance and his first loss to Yami Yugi , he wears a blue standard Domino High School uniform.
During the events of the Duelist Kingdom arc (starting in episode 8 ), he wears a long indigo blue trenchcoat with a dark teal long sleeved button shirt with an extended collar, a matching pants with a white belt on his waist and black shoes. He later wears this outfit during the events of the Legendary Heroes arc (lastly in episode 45 ). A flashback in episode 102 (set before the beginning of the series) shows him wearing his indigo outfit when he rejects Crump 's proposition for a penguin theme park and forced Nezbitt to destroy his lab.
In episode 52 , in which he meets Ishizu Ishtar and gains " Obelisk the Tormentor ", his long trenchcoat becomes purple and his teal button shirt and pants are replaced with a black turtleneck and matching pants and dons a steel wristbands in both of his wrist. He wears his purple outfit again for his first few appearances in the Doma arc (including when he gains " The Fang of Critias "), from episode 145 to episode 159 , before returning to his standard outfit in episode 165 .
In the first series anime , Kaiba has green hair, while in the manga, Toei's Yu-Gi-Oh! movie, and the second series, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters , Kaiba has brown hair with bangs down to the top of his eyes and a hairline at the base of the neck. Kaiba's character design in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime is nearly identical to his original appearance, although his facial structure is changed subtly.

In the original Japanese version of Yu-Gi-Oh! , Kaiba omits honorifics and has a "rude" pattern of speech. Kaiba uses the word " ore " to mean "I" instead of boku or watashi ; ore is a boastful way to say "I" in Japanese. Kaiba usually calls Katsuya Jonouchi (Joey Wheeler) names, such as " bonkotsu " (mediocre), " make-inu " (pathetic dog, loser), " uma no hone " (a nobody), and " zako " (insignificant person, weakling). This name calling was carried over to the dub.
In the English version, Kaiba plays as an arch-rival to Yami Yugi and appears to have a certain snobbish contempt for Yugi's group of friends, namely Joey Wheeler ; he disparagingly refers to them constantly with derisive nicknames such as "the nerd herd", "the dweeb patrol", or "the geek squad". At one point, he kept running into them during Waking the Dragons , and quipped "Great. Dork fest continues." In the Japanese version, he is just civil towards them. When he sees Tristan Taylor whose body is taken over by Nezbitt behaves aggressively, he becomes concerned by his change of behavior and tries to reason with him. He's sarcastic, rude, usually selfish, power-lusting, no-nonsense and down-to-earth, and somewhat narcissistic, while he may seem very realistic, but, as Atem has said so multiple times, he can be very clueless. Plus, he is fairly condescending and scathing to everyone, with the exception of Mokuba, the only person he is consistently shown to treat with love and care. However, it is stated by Mokuba ever since being adopted by Gozaburo, Kaiba has rarely smiled, if at all. Mokuba has also noted he's become much colder than he used to be. Despite this, Kaiba still has strong brotherly instincts for Mokuba and will put his life in danger in a heart beat to safeguard Mokuba's life.
Apart from Mokuba, Kaiba exhibits a compassion for children — especially orphans (as he himself was one and knew what it felt like). Kaiba also threw himself between Zorc and two Egyptian children, thus enabling them to make a getaway. At various points during the series, he opens up momentarily, performing kind acts, though always covering them up with sarcasm, and denying them if asked. These occurrences increase in frequency towards the later series. Aside from that, Kaiba maintains a conservative, stiff, and uptight exterior.
Although Kaiba may seem frigid and unkind toward his brother Mokuba, he is emotionally perspicuous, protective, and exhibits a brotherly love for him. When their adoptive brother Noah had hypnotized Mokuba into not remembering him and thinking Noah was his real brother, Kaiba revealed how much he cared about him to try to make him remember; in one Season 1 episode of the second series anime, after Pegasus is defeated, Kaiba tells Yugi that Mokuba "means everything to me". This is shown when Kaiba risks his own life by standing on a ledge to win the Duel against Yugi so that he can get to Pegasus to save Mokuba. Even when Kaiba preaches that no one gets away with trying to take over his company, he risks KaibaCorp when Dueling Noah for Mokuba.
Kaiba has also had moments of selflessness, such as when he saved Téa from Marik's Rare Hunter without there being any incentive for him to do so.
Kaiba is known for his snobbery and sense of superiority over others, as his motives are usually ruthless and rapacious, and his personality traits are selfish as he would do almost anything to gain status, power, wealth, respect, prestige, glory, and supremacy. As a character, Kaiba is known for displaying a conservative, ruthless, and abrasive demeanor, especially looking down towards people whom he considers socially contemptible or throwing blunt insults and wisecracks towards rival duelists and their dueling abilities to whom he considers to be strategically inferior opponents. Like the Pharaoh, pride is Kaiba's strength and weakness; he never backs down from a challenge and gives everything he can in a Duel. This results him in having a sense of superiority, making it extremely difficult to earn his respect especially towards people he considers beneath him, and causes him to look down on and treat others as inferior until Kaiba considers them as his equal. This gives him difficulty when forced to rely on others and work as a team. His pride in himself and his accomplishments as an individual are prominent character traits that form a part of his character throughout the series, and he reacts harshly to those who threaten or infringe on it (although it is toned down slightly towards the end of the series).
In addition, Kaiba has expressed dislike, disapproval, and displeasure towards other people using his cards, namely his " Blue-Eyes White Dragon " (his favorite and signature card ; notably, he uses its motif to decorate a large portion of his personal effects - e.g., Kaiba Land , his jet, and his clothing). This is shown in Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 001 , when he rips up Solomon Muto 's Blue-Eyes White Dragon after winning it so that it could never be used against him, and also in Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 136 when Kaiba becomes very angry when he finds out about Joey using his "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" in their Duel. Kaiba goes so far as to attack Joey's "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" with his own, destroying both in the process, to prevent Joey from using it for another turn. (He even says angrily, "I'm the only one with the skills necessary to wield a Blue-Eyes!" while doing so.) He also despises Pegasus' " Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon ", saying it strips the original of all its pride. According to Takahashi , Kaiba's obsession with the " Blue-Eyes White Dragon " stems from the feelings between Kisara (the girl whose Ka housed the Blue-Eyes) and his ancient Egyptian incarnate, Priest Seto . This may also be due to Kaiba's affinity for Dragon -Type monsters. [6] More likely than anything would be it having to do with wanting to have the strongest Deck possible out of any Duelist as part of his domination motif, as he went through great lengths to acquire the three copies he presently has.
One of Seto's recurring traits is his absolute refusal to believe in the magic powers that is often used in the series, referring to it as "Hocus Pocus". Later on, during sagas like Waking the Dragons , he openly admits to believing in all the supernatural events occurring around him, instead of just ignorantly saying they don't exist as he always does (although it is possible that he thinks that it's science instead of magic, and doesn't hesitate to do something about it).
In the Japanese version, while Kaiba does not take it very well, he is much more accepting of the faith and magic that occurs. In the Doma arc, he told Alister he should show him the power of a "true Duelist" and of the "Chosen One", and also openly accepted the vision he and Yami Yugi had after their Egyptian Gods were destroyed, as well as the fact that their battle was destined over the span of 3000 years. During the Duel against Dartz, Kaiba destroyed the " Mirror Knight Token " after they had taken the form of Yugi, Pegasus, Joey, and Mai because of his belief if they were true Duelists, they would be willing to allow themselves to be destroyed in order to save the world, while in the dub, Kaiba believed Dartz manipulated the holograms to resemble their friends in order to weaken their resolve. Although there are some instances where Kaiba is a believer in both the Japanese and dub. One such example would be during his final turn against Zigfried von Schroeder when he predicted he would draw exactly the spell cards he would need to defeat Zigfried, despite initially only having one card in his hand.
Understandably, Kaiba gains a lot of contempt and disdain from virtually every single person he knows (with the exception of Mokuba) - mostly Joey, Tristan and Tea in particular. Yugi constantly holds out hope for him, as does Yugi's other self Yami. Though Yami himself finds Kaiba's condescending attitude and arrogance quite infuriating. As was shown on the times they've been forced to Duel together as a team. Kaiba, for the most part, could not care less about what they think about him and returns the contempt in kind.
In the Memory World arc Kaiba's past self, Priest Seto , is introduced. Priest Seto is depicted as being less antagonistic than modern-day Kaiba, and is portrayed as being very loyal with a strong sense of justice. However, he maintains Kaiba's pride and intelligent mind.
Despite Kaiba's self-centered, snobbish, and elitist personality, he remains an intrinsically obstinate, astute, disciplined and conscientious individual who has a concern for human ethics throughout the entire anime series. He exhibits ethical and morally upright principles in that he is against stealing. Though his plans are often vengeful and Machiavellian, notably vindictive as he sees revenge as a way to get even especially when seeing the negative side of his dueling defeats inflicted by his arch-rival Yami Yugi. Nonetheless, he is a rational, intelligent, and perspicacious person who has a vast belief that hard work and determination is what gets you ahead in life, not stealing at the expense of others to advance your situation. As such, he is disgusted by Zigfried and Noah, calling them pathetic and not worth living up to his company because they were planning on stealing his works to take his company instead of earning it through the trials and tribulations that he went through.  Despite his annoyance to Joey, and his intense rivalry with Yami Yugi, he expressed horror when the former was brainwash by Marik to duel the latter in a "death match", as Kaiba says it is not a duel.
Kaiba is also known for his perfectionist mindset and for his disdain of mediocrity as an acceptable standard while maintaining high standards of excellence; whether it's honing his dueling skills or maintaining the quality of his technology. In every duel, he punctiliously implements an array of well executed high power dueling strategies into giving his opponents a hard time to strategically overpower him. He also remains punctilious in the Duel Disks he developed as he would use them even when Duel Rings are nearby by plugging it into the Duel Ring's hologram projector so any card he plays on his Duel Disk is displayed on the Duel Ring instead of just using the Duel Ring.
During the Battle City arc, Seto's main goal is defeating Yugi in a Duel. However, when he lost, he decided on a new path, rather an old one, of building Kaiba Land all around the world. However, he vowed his rivalry with Yugi is far from over, even though they never had an on-screen Duel after this. At some point, Kaiba through his philanthropic hospitality and passion for Duel Monsters established the Central Duel Academy , a private educational institution to train the next generation of up and coming duelists to accomplish this goal.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Seto Kaiba has brown hair, blue eyes and a slim build with broad shoulders. He often has a stern and condescending expression on his face.
Standing at 1.86 m, Kaiba is one of the tallest of all the major characters. He initially wore the common Domino High School uniform, with his coat closed and carried his steel briefcase instead of a bag. Later, he wore a similar white uniform with some gold ornament on the collar. After his coma, Kaiba tended to wear form-fitting long coats which emphasized his height; during Duelist Kingdom, he wore a simple blue coat; in the lead-up to Battle Bity he wore a high-shouldered purple coat, and during the events of Battle City he wore his most iconic coat, his sleeveless white studded coat, in addition to belts strapped around his limbs.

Prior to his second defeat against Yugi, Kaiba was extremely ruthless, cruel and arrogant. He went as far as pushing people into committing suicide to achieve his ends. After he woke up from his comatose state, he showed more respect to individuals, but retained his arrogance, leading Yugi and his friends to believe he had not changed.
As an established gamer, inventor and CEO of KaibaCorp , he is regarded as a young genius.
Before the Duelist Kingdom's events, Kaiba was shown to be quite severe and careless about his younger brother, Mokuba. Later, he is depicted as being more protective toward him to the point of risking his life in order to save him.
Kaiba is willing to put his life or other lives on the line to achieve his goals or settle a conflict. He showed almost no fear when Dark Yugi warned him about the possibility of fatal outcome of a Shadow Game and tries to kill Yugi and his friends, during Death-T . However, when he learned that death was the price to be paid in Yugi's Duel with the brainwashed Jonouchi, Kaiba was sickened by the prospect, claiming that even at his worst he would not have done this and attempted to stop the Duel.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Kaiba is nearly identical in appearance to his manga counterpart except he has green hair and yellow eyes in this series. The Toei's version of the anime run for the first time in April 1998, while the fourth volume of the manga - Kaiba's Revenge - was released September 4th in 1997. In that fourth volume, Kaiba is clearly depicted as having brown hair in one of the color page of the Chapter 27 .

Yu-Gi-Oh!

Luke is a young boy with spiky light-blue hair and red eyes. He wears a dark-brown t-shirt with a red-colored gear on a spike design, khaki pants with a black belt and black shoes with blue stripes. He also sports many accessories: a black collar around his neck, a purple-wrist watch and a blue knot on his left hand, a black wristband on his right arm, a chain tied to his right waist and a black case around his left knee.

Luke is an ambitious youngster determined to become the "King of Duels", he went to big lengths to polish his Dueling skills, even training against professional adults. Luke has a tendency to exaggerate his accomplishments, which his group of friends usually figure out quickly. Luke is highly confident of his skills as a Duelist, he proclaimed himself to be the "Number One Duelist of Goha 7th Elementary".
After learning about Yuga's desire to create Rush Duel, Luke became very interested in the idea and feels that Rush Duel could be the key to acclaim the title of "King of Duels". Although Luke has a personal interest in Rush Duel to further his ambitions, he's nevertheless a loyal friend to Yuga and chose to support Yuga's decision to make Rush Duel public knowledge despite knowing that they could get in trouble if Goha Corporation finds out that it was them who installed the Rush Duel rulings.
Luke is highly distrustful of Goha Corporation as he suspects that they'll attempt to shut down Rush Duels and by extension ruin his chance to become "King of Duels". He can be rather paranoid over anything that he perceives as an attempt by Goha to destroy Rush Duels, even accusing his own friends of being Goha spies if they show any form of suspicious behavior.
Luke is a technophobe that would rather destroy electronics and other machines than learn from them.

Yu-Gi-Oh!

Shark has dark blue eyes, pale skin and dark purple hair, which resembles tentacles hanging down, referencing his Deck theme of aquatic creatures. His accessories include a grey, shark tooth-shaped pendant, and two grey rings on his right hand. He also owns a grey and green Duel Gazer with a red lens and a yellow spike. He also wears a large red jeweled, yellow pendant that resembles a Barian Emblem . His attire includes a dark purple jacket over a black shirt and dark pants with white, green-gems shoes. When in his school attire, he wears a white shirt with green-lined sleeves, tie and a collar.

Ryoga has been shown to be extremely cruel, shown when he snatched Tetsuo 's Deck and then snapped Yuma's pendant just to show Yuma that he was powerless. [1] Despite this, he is shown to keep his word as he gave Yuma Tetsuo's Deck after he was defeated. [2]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Roa is a slim young boy with purple eyes and light green spiky hair with three prongs over his eyes in a "T" shape. He wears dark magenta pink t-shirt with a light purple crossed sword symbol on the chest, two light purple wristbands and black pants with purple ribbons wrapped around the shins. He also wears black shoes.

In contrast of his career as a band leader, Roa has two sides: one where he appears as an altruistic optimistic and confident young man who cares for his fans as he like to grin while dueling, when in actuality he is a very arrogant opportunistic and conceited person. He declares he will be the new owner of Rush Dueling, calling it 'RoaRush Duel'. He appears to have no issues with using shady methods to win or gain advantage in duels, and appears at first to use conniving tactics but when he genuinely tries he is shown to be a very skilled and formidable duelist. He also is quite the manipulative trickster to his cousin Romin as he is willing to get information on the Rush Duels by acting like he is a friend to Yuga and co. His conniving and tactical personality is shown due to him setting a trap to set his match up with Yuga about "Sevens Road Magician's" legal qualities to automatically disqualify him.
He is also self-aggrandizing as he proclaimed himself the "Duel King" which is what his Deck represents.


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Romin's usual outfit consists of a black top with yellow buttons, a short red skirt adorned with two brown belts to hold the Deck cases at her waist, lavender tights and red/black high-heels. Almost all time, she hoists her guitar thats adorned with the logo of her school band RoaRomin over her shoulder. She has a sky-blue eyes and magenta hair with a slim body.
When she was younger, Romin wore a pink dress over a red and white-striped shirt, knee-length white socks, and dark pink Mary Jane shoes.

Romin doesn't like Duels much but she tends to cross paths with Yuga and his friends. She also has a mysterious aura around her persona and seems to know more things than she lets on. She gets reasonably along with Yuga and his friends, and despite not being too interested in Duels she is fairly observant, a fast learner and impressively tactical for a newbie.

Whenever she gets hungry, Romin becomes very aggressive in her playstyle and her eyes have been shown to turn red during these circumstances. It is later revealed that she doesn't always need to be hungry to become intense. [2]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Shark has dark blue eyes, pale skin, and dark purple hair, which resembles tentacles hanging down, referencing his Deck theme of aquatic creatures. These "tentacles" slightly resemble pigtails, but curl up on the end. He also has a blue-gray "crown" in front of his forehead. His accessories include a grey, shark tooth-shaped locket, which contains a family photo of his parents, as well as himself and his sister Rio Kastle as children. He also has a scar on his right shoulder. [11] He also wears two grey rings on his right hand, but he later gives one to Rio. [12] He also owns a grey and green Duel Gazer with a red lens and a yellow spike as well as a blue D-Pad . Upon regaining his Barian identity as Nash, he threw away the locket and replaced it with his own Barian Emblem pendant, though he regained the locket after his revival.

Nash's lineart

His attire includes a dark purple jacket with green gems on the gray sleeve cuffs over a maroon shirt, dark blue pants, and white shoes adorned with the same green gems. When in his school attire, he wears a white shirt with green-lined sleeves, tie and a collar. During his National Duel Circuit days, Reginald wore a white top with a purple waist coat and his usual dark pants.

Shark's true form as Nash.

As a Barian, he has a purple skin tone and red and blue heterochromatic eyes with aqua markings on his face. He wears a crimson cape and copper-colored arm guards adorned with red gems on the wrists and shoulders and his legs are tipped with red stones. He also wears a gold 'H'-shaped belt and a dark purple turtleneck sweater with copper markings and a red diamond-like shape on the neck. The Barian Emblem pendant becomes larger and is engraved onto his chest. His tentacle-like hair gains more volume and he also wears a copper-colored crown piece with a red jewel on his forehead, as well as dark purple and copper boots adorned with the same red jewels.
During his past life, Nash wore golden armor over a mesh shirt, gauze on his left arm, a light brown shirt, silver pants, a blue cape, and the original Barian Emblem on his chest in the form of a pendant.

Shark can be classified as a typical loner, being indifferent and cool about most things, usually sporting a stoic face or scowl. He prefers to be alone and doesn't follow a crowd, as his encounters with Yuma and others are often brief before he walks off. He also has displayed little interest in school, having had stopped going to Heartland Academy after his loss to Yuma. [13] He still skipped class regardless when he decided to come back and would idly spend his time on the school's roof, but is said to be good at studying. [14] Despite Shark's aloof and cold nature, many students at school respect his Dueling skills and he's secretly popular with female students, [15] however Rio mentions that he is still disliked and feared by other students. [16] Shark is shown to have a soft side, but has only shown it to two people - his sister and Yuma. Regardless of this, he can be insensitive and callous to both, causing fighting and arguing between them, especially when Rio brings up his strange fear of onions.
After being disqualified from the National Duel Circuit , Shark became bitter and uncaring, the way he held himself at the beginning of the series. Cold and malicious, Shark flaunts his power by taking the Decks of the people he defeats, making them squirm in the process, such as when he defeated Bronk Stone . [1] When he becomes possessed by the " Numbers ", he becomes quite violent, destroying the scenery surrounding him throughout his first Duel against Yuma, and also defeating several Duelists brutally when he was briefly possessed by " Number 32: Shark Drake . [17] [18]
However, he does have some honor, as he returned Bronk's Deck upon losing to Yuma as he promised and keeping all the Decks he'd stolen from people completely intact. [17] His first defeat to Yuma has humbled him in a way that he is no longer overly cruel to people, as shown when he returns Yuma's pendant after winning an Ante Duel with it at stake. [13] He also seems to put more faith in bonds and friendship, shown by his willingness to form a team with Yuma during the Tag Duel with Scorch and Chills . He further entrusts Yuma with a card that would allow them to win the Duel. [19] Shark also tries to rescue Emperor's Key from Kite Tenjo and Orbital 7 when it is stolen, clearly stating that he sees Yuma as his friend. In the Duel with Kite, Shark remembers Yuma, and that Yuma would never give up. [20]
Shark's friendship with Yuma also helped him in handling the "Numbers" cards. When " Number 17: Leviathan Dragon " came in contact with him, it easily took hold of him. [1] However, he was able to fight off the influence of "Shark Drake" because of his bond with Yuma, making him the first known person to be able to resist the influence of the "Numbers" without a special item or power. Despite being able to initially resist the influence, Vetrix said that it did infect him and it will amplify his darkness caused by his desire to take revenge against Quattro . [21] However, after a Duel with Yuma, and seeing his bumbling antics, the darkness had disappeared. [18]
However, after accepting his fate as a Barian, he adopted his cold personality again, saying that fate drew him and Yuma together to fight against one another. Unable to consider peace as an option despite his friendships with Astral and Yuma, he attacked Earth with the other Barian Emperors. He is shown to act ruthless when Dueling, as shown during his Duel with Quattro. Throwing himself fully into his Barian persona, he incited his opponent's anger, wanting to be hated and aiming to make both himself and Quattro forget about his time as "Reginald". [7] However, it was shown he was doing this to protect the people of the Barian World. Also when Girag appeared to be in danger, Nash immediately attempted to rescue him, showing he cares for many, if not all of the Barian Emperors (with the obvious exception of Vector). [22] He even burst into tears at witnessing Dumon's death. [23] He also expresses sadness at Mizar's death. [24]
In his final duel against Yuma and Astral, Nash was shown to be grief-stricken for having failed to protect the Barian Emperors and having failed to make their dream come true. He reaffirms his vow to save the Barian World with their spirits at his side and became increasingly more desperate to defeat Yuma and Astral as they continued to survive his every assault, culminating in him adopting a crazed expression in their final exchange. He was also visibly distraught when they finally managed to destroy " CXyz Barian Hope ". Nonetheless, he returned back to his friendly self after losing to Yuma and being revived by the Numeron Code .


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Rio has dark pink eyes and like her brother , she has pale skin and dark blue hair with light blue bangs. Rio also wears a ring on her right little finger, which was previously owned by her brother. Rio's appearance attracts many initial admirers, including Bronk .

Marin lineart.

Her attire includes a white jacket over a light pink shirt, black stockings, white skirt and shoes (her skirt is also longer, covering the bare skin showing on her legs in the dub). The left coattail of her jacket has a conch-like ornament hanging down. At school , she wears the standard uniform, with hers being green due to her status as a second year student (in the dub, her skirt is lengthened). She wears longer stockings than most female students. During the group's trip to Spartan City , she bought a casual outfit composed of a blue-white striped sleeveless T-shirt, a blue upper knee length skirt and white high-heeled sandals.

Rio's true form as Marin.

As the Barian Marin, her skin is chalk-white and her hair is longer with more volume and is purely dark blue instead of dual-coloured. She wears a white dress with blue and gold pieces, with large white shoulder pauldrons and gloves, with a blue midriff and a miniaturized version of Nash 's Barian Emblem on her chest. She still has her pink eyes. She also has red marks on each side of her cheeks, a jeweled diadem with a gold net over the back of her hair that is adorned with green and red jewels that also has a green teardrop jewel hanging over her face.

Lineart of Marin in her past life.

Marin's outfit in her past life was that of a priestess. She wore a long hood on her head, white heeled sandals, a white dress and three gold rings on her legs. She also wore this outfit in her current life when she was possessed by Abyss .

Despite her appearance and previously spending a large amount of time in hospital, she is a confident and adamant person, getting annoyed when things do not go her way. This is usually shown when conversing with her brother. Her confident personality assists in her interests which allows her to conquer sports such as soccer, baseball, basketball and boxing with ease. Despite all of this, Rio also shows somewhat of a childish side as well, shown by her fear of cats (this showing she has ailurophobia ) and calling Shark a "meanie" when he teasingly refused to help remove one from her sight. Rio tends to be annoyed when people refer to her as "Shark's sister" instead of calling her by name as indicated by Yuma due to her snapping at him when he continually calls her as such, and especially does not like it when someone insults her brother. This is further seen many times during her Duel against Lotus as she got mad at her for making a rude remark about Shark.
Despite being occasionally irritated with Yuma for not addressing her properly as "Rio", his personality and playful antics makes her let it slide given that she is thankful to him for helping her brother and being his friend. It is also revealed that she goes very far on things and acts strong because she feels she has to or people may use her as a shield against her brother. [3] She later shows admiration towards Yuma and Alito as she commented they have amazing Dueling spirit. [11]
She takes great pride in her abilities and effort as she has no problem in showing them when people underestimate her as she believes women are not to be viewed as "pretty decorations". [3]
Rio also has a empathetic quality to her personality as well. This is demonstrated when she finds Bronk injured on the way to school, and shows genuine concern to him and helps treat his injuries. [12]
She has undying loyalty to her brother, going along with his decision to assault Earth after regaining their Barian identities, despite her own wishes. [13]


Yu-Gi-Oh!

Cathy, like her nickname implies, has the appearance of a cat. She has two pieces of her gray hair held up by clips which give her the appearance of having cat ears. She has large and expressive green eyes which appear to have no eyebrows.  She also wears the same outfit that Tori Meadows wears as they both attend Heartland Academy (in the dub, her skirt is lengthened). She also wears a pair of large, square-framed glasses. She also has a pink Duel Gazer with a purple lens that she wears with her glasses off, in contrast to Flip , whose Duel Gazer is directly integrated into his glasses.
In the first series, Cathy's casual outfit consisted of a mostly black dress with a white cat tail attached and clawed gloves. She has black and white over-knee-high socks and black Mary Jane shoes. In the second series, it consisted of a lilac T-shirt with torn-ended sleeves and a red tie, black shorts held up by suspenders (the shorts are lengthened in the dub) and maroon ankle boots with accessories being a collar, matching bracelet on her right wrist and a star earring on her right ear. She wears a bell with both outfits.
When attending social events such as the World Duel Carnival party, Cathy wears a Chinese style dress, which like most of her other outfits, sports cat like features such as a tail and gloves with the appearance of cat paws and claws. During the Heartland Academy fun fair, she wore a " Cat Girl " cosplay.

Cathy is a loner and a stereotypical shy girl, especially towards her crush; Yuma Tsukumo . However, she has shown to have a strong distaste towards dogs (when Pip tried to ask the gang for forgiveness, she brushed it off and displayed much anger, calling them "thieving Dogs!"). [4] As stated above, Cathy has a bizarre obsession with cats and has the ability to communicate with them. Her obsession goes to the point that she decorates almost the entire interior of her house with cat-themed paraphernalia. She has a habit of dressing up in cat-themed clothes in the Gothic Lolita style and sometimes exhibits cat-like behavior, i.e., curling her fingers to simulate cat paws, finishing her sentences with the word ニャー nyā and licking her lips. She also has a habit of saying the word "Cat" (かと kato ) when talking. When angered, she has a tendency to lash out at Flip with her cat claws, scratching his face (this is cut from the dub).
