History Characters / YuGiOhAnimeOnlyCharacters

* ManipulativeBastard: With a bit of magic on his side for good measure. So good he nearly talked the Pharaoh into surrendering his soul. Bought out Kaiba Corp purely to goad Kaiba into dueling him. His M.O. for recruiting his henchmen: Raphael's parents were killed by a storm he conjured; Alisters' brother and mom by tanks he sent in posing as Gozoburo Kaiba; and Valon was manipulated into a life of crime either by burning down his orphanage or framing him for his first crime, depending on sub or dub. Mai was preyed on after being traumatized by her Shadow Duel with Marik. All were then given the Orichalcos to play on their inner darkness.

* ILied: In the Japanese version, before deleting the Big Five, he tells them that, since everything in the virtual world is simulated, [[AllForNothing they wouldn't have received new bodies even if they won their Duels]]. The Big Five spend their final moments furious at him for deceiving them. This information is omitted from the dub.

* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: After escaping, he was very angry that someone's got to his robbery targets before he did.

Also known as "Jiro the Yellow Spider," he is a Toei anime-only criminal based on the Burger World criminal from the manga. Jiro is an escaped convict and master of disguise, framing Tetsuo Sasaki for his own crimes. He worked as manager at Burger World at the time Tristan Taylor, Miho Nosaka and Tea Gardner were working there, but was foiled by Dark Yugi.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: He's the only nice teacher in the entire series.

An anime-only character, Rebecca is the granddaughter of the famous Egyptologist, Dr. Arthur Hopkins/Hawkins. She first appears seeking vengeance on the behalf of her grandfather by beating his old friend, Solomon Mutou, and taking his Blue Eyes White Dragon card and returning it to her grandfather. After her grandfather finds her and teaches her a valuable lesson about friendship, she quickly befriends Yugi and Solomon. During Season 4, she returns and becomes a member of Yugi's TrueCompanions and accompanies him on his travels, dueling in Kaiba's tournament in Season 5.

* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: Shinato's Ark allows him to increase his Life Points by a ''huge'' amount, so using Mokuba as a shield was not necessary.

* {{Hypocrite}}: Calls out the Big Five when they try to cheat or take bodies without having won a duel... then does it himself.

* IdiotBall: Grabs it in the last turns of his duel with Yugi. He had over 9,000 Life Points at the time. Had he just taken the direct attack from Dark Magician, which isn't even a third of his Life Points, on his next turn he could have attacked it to win the duel. Instead he switches it to defense to protect himself from said attack, thus on his next turn he has to attack the Magician of Black Chaos to inflict damage, and the slight ATK difference between the two monsters results in Yugi hanging on with 100 Life Points.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Even more so than Kaiba. Just for fun sometime, count the number of times Noah gets mad at someone for making him look bad.

* LightIsNotGood: Temporarily fuses with Shinato, King of a Higher Plane, an angel like monster. And his deck reflects the biblical story of Noah.

* OrcusOnHisThrone: Aside from when he stops Ooka/Johnson from cheating, Noah is content to sit back in his control chair watching the protagonists run around. Averted once the Big Five fall.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Noah's deck master Shinato is [[http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100119214325/yugioh/images/0/0f/Shinato%2CKingofaHigherPlaneDR1-EN-SR-UE.jpg a six-winged metal angel]] with regal robes and a halo, and its Japanese name is Shinato, King of Heaven. Noah merges with Shinato for a period of time, his face superimposing itself over its. (Possibly subverted, as Shinato might be based on Shinto wind goddess Shinatobe rather than an angel.)

* ShadowArchetype: To Kaiba if he was overindulged by Gozaburo instead of being forced to work to suceed. Also to Kaiba if Atem had not destroyed Kaiba's evil half.
** To Mokuba if he chose to let being overlooked by Gozaburo in favor of Kaiba get too him.
** Atem if he did not get the chance to be free from the Millenium Puzzle, letting loneliness and isolation as well as his exposure to a particular thing corrupted their minds. In Atems case, being exposed to Zorc's influence, in Noah's case, having no one real to interact with and having the only thing he could do to occupy himself be to gain knowledge.
** To Yugi had he not had Tea or his grandfather looking after him, only keeping to himself and spending time on games and not having Joey and Tristan around. Also contrasting Yugi is his attitude towards others. Were as Noah used Mokuba for his own ends and even put him as a human shield, Yugi instead put himself in harms way to defend Joey and Tristan despite them bullying him.

* UnskilledButStrong: Noah is objectively not a good duelist, as he easily loses his temper, makes bad decisions and is quicker to cheat than to capitalize on opportunities. However, his deck is so abusively powerful that he can make up for his lack of skills without actually trying.

* RestartTheWorld: His main goal. In practice however, it's more TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.

* SuperpowerLottery: Has the most broken dueling deck of any character in the regular series, period. His advanced forms of the Orichalcos grant him 500 Life Points each turn for every monster he controls, he can tribute monsters to negate attacks and destroy the attacker, and grant his monsters immunity to opposing magic and trap effects. And this is on top of the base effects of extra monster slots, +500 ATK for your monsters, and immunity to removal. Orichalcos aside, his own monsters make him nearly invincible -- starting with an infinitely-resurrecting monster that protects his Kyuorta that negates all battle damage he takes, then moving up to a colossal Shunoros which receives ATK equal to the damage his Kyuorta has negated, which is accompanied by two monsters whose ATK and DEF are [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter constantly stronger than whatever they're battling]]. When ''that'' gets defeated, he busts out his [[StoryBreakerPower ultimate trump card]] -- a monster with '''infinite''' ATK points. On top of that, this same monster allows him to keep playing even with ''zero'' lifepoints, so he can only lose if the monster is destroyed. Kaiba and Yami Yugi are on the defensive almost the entire duel, and Yami Yugi only endures and wins via several consecutive good draws.
