8!!Rex Raptor and Weevil Underwood

10[[quoteright:1000:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_7908.jpeg]]
11
12-->'''Rex:''' He said "wood".\
13'''Weevil:''' Oh, yeah. Heheheheheh.
14
15A pair of professional duelists modelled after Beavis and Butthead. Snicker a lot at dirty words, and not much else.
16----
17* AmbiguouslyBi: They have an obvious CasanovaWannabe thing going on, but episode 84 implies that they’re also [[ShipTease kind of into each other]].
18* AssholeVictim: Even in Season 4 abridged, Weevil became this from his duel with Yami. Totally had it coming.
19* AdaptationDyeJob: Lampshaded by Rex in The Other Abridged Movie after Kaiba beats him in a card game.
20-->'''Rex:''' This sucks. I'm gonna go dye my hair.
21* AscendedExtra: They have greater prominence in Season 4, which is actually justified since they also have an increased presence in the series proper at this point.
22* CaptainErsatz: Of ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead'', respectively. [[spoiler:As of Episode 73, the Seal of Orichalcos has retconned them into not being this, instead making them act more like their canon counterparts. Though this is ''re''-retconned in 82, where they have their normal (abridged) voices back]].
23* CatchPhrase: "Come... to Raptor," for Rex.
24* CloserToEarth: As his personality's based on Butt-Head, Rex is smarter than Weevil, but only on a relative comparison.
25* TheDitz: Being based on Beavis, Weevil is the dumber one.
26* HehHehYouSaidX: They're based on the champions of this trope, did you expect any less?
27-->'''Rex:''' You said 'region'!
28* IBangedYourMom:
29-->'''Weevil:''' I already rule. Heh heh, I rule, heh heh.\
30'''Rex:''' You don't rule, Weevil!\
31'''Weevil:''' I rule your mom last night.\
32'''Rex:''' Shut up, asshole, that was your mom, and it was me doing the ruling, heh heh.\
33'''Weevil:''' DAMN IT REX!!
34* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Subverted; their appearance in episode 73 has them come off as more threatening but Rex is defeated easily by Joey and while Weevil pretends to destroy Yugi's soul in order to torment Yami, he almost immediately gives his lie up and is quickly defeated.
35* PungeonMaster: When [[spoiler: the Seal of Orichalcos makes the duo more like their canon selves]], Rex wastes no time memorizing as many lame dinosaur puns as he could in the short time.
36* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Weevil, upon realizing just how much damage the Pharaoh is about to do to him with Berserker Soul.
37-->'''Weevil''': Heh heh. This sucks!
38* ThoseTwoGuys: Almost universally appear together to make jokes together.
39* TokenEvilTeammate: To the heroes in Season 4.
40* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler: In Episode 73, when they become under the influence of the Seal of Orichalcos]].
41* UngratefulBastard: Fortune Salim turns out to be one of their few remaining fans. That doesn't stop Rex and Weevil from [[MuggedForDisguise beating him up and stealing his clothes]].

44[[folder:Bandit Keith]]
45!!"Bandit" Keith Steve Howard
46
47[[quoteright:622:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_7909.jpeg]]
48
49-->''"[[AC:In America!]]"''
50
51A cheating duelist from America, who is proud to be from America and duels for American pride against fellow American Pegasus... [[AC:in America!]]
52----
53* AdaptationalNameChange: Severely downplayed; obviously he's still referred to as Bandit Keith, but the abridged series gives him the middle name "Steve", which is how Marik was able to take control of him in episode 23.
54* AnythingButThat: The French national anthem terrifies Keith because anything French (according to him) is the exact opposite of American.
55* BerserkButton:
56** He completely loses it when Joey uses his Copycat card to [[BorrowedCatchphrase steal his catchphrase]] and is hauled away by security.
57** He also seems to get upset whenever somebody criticizes Creator/MichaelBay.
58-->"Mess with Michael Bay and you mess with America!"
59* BoomerangBigot: He shows contempt for non-Americans even though he's actually Canadian.
60* BreakoutCharacter: Thanks to Little Kuriboh's giving him a catchphrase, Bandit Keith's popularity exploded. This was lampshaded in the episode summary for one version of Episode 11, his debut episode: "once upon a time, no one wanted to cosplay as Bandit Keith. Then this episode happened."
61* TheBusCameBack: Outside of brief cameos in episodes 50 and 52, Keith pretty much disappears from the show after episode 23. However, while it's completely separate from the main series, Keith becomes a prominent character in the third Counseling Evil video where he apparently now has a program that teaches lessons on how to be better villains, which Marik participates in after getting kicked out of his own evil council. [[labelnote:Spoiler]]In reality, the program is actually for teaching people how to be more American; Keith merely just labeled the program as being lessons for villains in hopes of attracting more customers.[[/labelnote]]
62* CatchPhrase: He loves to talk about America. [[AC: In America!]]
63* CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys: The French national anthem terrifies Keith because anything French (according to him) is the exact opposite of American.
64* CrassCanuck: It's revealed that he's actually Canadian, and he's an obnoxious, egotistical bully who's not above cheating.
65* EagleLand: Except he's not actually American. He's actually Canadian. However, when he reappears in episode 50, he still seems to believe that he's American. Joey was the first to point out that he's a fraud, but Keith claims that he doesn't know what Joey's talking about, and he says that [[HypocriticalHumor while waving a small Canadian flag and calling him a hoser]].
66* ExactWords: Takes pride on being an American, but he didn't exactly say ''where'' in America he was born in...
67* {{Fauxreigner}}: He's a Canadian who pretends to be the most jingoistic G-rated American possible.
68* FlagBikini: When he appears on ''WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment'', he defends that Tina Armstrong (from ''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'') is wearing one, and even says he's "wearing a very patriotic thong".
69* ForeignCultureFetish: He's Canadian, but he idolizes America to the point that he actually wants to ''be'' American.
70* KarmaHoudini: Outside of losing to Joey and being reduced to a mind-slave by Marik, he gets no punishment for his crimes during the Duelist Kingdom tournament.
71* NoTrueScotsman:
72** Apparently his opinion of Pegasus.
73--->"Pegasus! I pledge allegiance to your death, you sorry excuse for an American!"
74** He states that Brooklyn native (or at least Brooklyn-accented) Joey isn't American just because he isn't wearing a flag on his head.
75* {{Otaku}}: Of American culture, made even more funny that he's actually Canadian[[labelnote:note]]Technically speaking though, Canadians ''do'' live in North America. Close enough[[/labelnote]].
76* PatrioticFervor: Keith loves America, American things, and talking about America.
77* ThisCannotBe: Says this after being beaten by a kid in a duel.
78-->"This can't be happening... [[AC:in America!]]"
79* VerbalTic: He has one... [[AC:in America!]]
80* WearingAFlagOnYourHead: TropeNamer, when he calls out Joey for not wearing a bandanna of the US flag. Later Keith wears one of the Canadian Flag

83[[folder:The Hair Guy]]
84!!The Hair Guy (Kemo)
85[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/attention_duelist.png]]
86-->''"Attention duelists!"''
87
88A security guard for Pegasus and (formerly) Kaiba. Has an unspecified acquaintance known as the Mullet Guy, who may be his brother.
89----
90* AdaptationalNameChange: Sort of. His name in the original Japanese anime is Saruwatari and Kemo in English dub. In abridged series, he's referred to simply as "The Hair Guy".
91* CatchPhrase: "Attention Duelists!", "My hair is..." usually follows or they're separate.
92* CoolShades: Always seen with his sunglasses.
93* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: In ''The Other Abridged Movie'' Yugi questions why he's suddenly taking orders from Kaiba when he's supposed to be working for Pegasus. Even he does not seem to know.
94* ImprobableHairstyle: It's apparently the source of his power (to defy gravity), but definitely the source of both the jokes used for him and his [[EnsembleDarkhorse popularity]].
95* LukeIAmYourFather: He claims that his hair is Tristan's father.
96* NamedByTheAdaptation: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. As stated above, he's only referred to as "The Hair Guy," as opposed to Kemo or Saruwatari.
97* VocalEvolution: Compare how he sounds in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSt1J_usLzQ episode 6]] to how he sounds in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRoJQy2dO5I episode 21]].

100!Season 2
101
102[[folder:The Steves]]
103!!The Steves
104
105Marik's henchmen (also known as Ghouls or Rare Hunters in the actual series). Steve the Rare Hunter (the Exodia guy), Steve Arcana, Steve the Mime, Steve Lumis, and Steve Umbris. He also controlled Bandit Keith (whose middle name is Steve) and Joey and Téa (he tricked them into legally changing their names to Steve).
106----
107* AdaptationalNiceGuy: They don't cheat in card games like their original counterparts did.
108* CaptainErsatz: Steve Lumis and Steve Umbra are parodies of [[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Ignignot and Err]].
109* EnemyMime: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Guess which Steve]]?
110* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Steve Lumis and Steve Umbris say that on the moon, being gay is completely ok as long it's woman on woman and they're invited to watch.
111* IdenticallyNamedGroup: They're all named Steve, because Marik's mind-control powers only work on guys named Steve, or people whose middle name is Steve. Or last name, presumably. It also works on girls named Steve, although those are understandably rare. Téa is one of them since Marik forced her (and Joey) to legally change their names to Steve. He admits it's an annoying limitation.
112* {{Mooks}}: For Marik.
113** EliteMooks: Joey and Tea are technically this, being two of the main characters and all.
114* ShoutOut: Steve the Rare Hunter's voice [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes is reminiscent of a certain martian]].
115* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We're never told what happened to them after the Battle City arc is over and Marik is defeated by Yugi.
116* VillainHasAPoint: Steve the Rare Hunter points out to Yami that his duel with Jaden in Yu-Gi-Oh! (Duel Monsters) GX episode 180 has no conclusion of their match.
117[[/folder]]
118
119[[folder:Odion]]
120!!Odion Ishtar
121
122[[quoteright:583:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_7910.jpeg]]
123
124-->''"Yes, master Marik."''
125
126Marik's older brother who tried to be a tombkeeper, but unfortunately his stepfather Hank was an extreme {{Jerkass}}. His obsessive love of Gummi Bears makes it hard for him to come off as threatening, despite his stoic nature.
127----
128* AntiVillain: Much like in the canon, he's loyal to Marik as a brother and genuinely loves his family.
129* BaldOfEvil: Which Joey mocks repeatedly.
130* BruiserWithASoftCenter: His entire shtick.
131* CharacterizationMarchesOn: He was actually based off [[WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain Pinky]] when he first appeared at the end of episode 23. This characterization was immediately dropped the next time he showed up, with him being much more stoic and having a deeper voice.
132* EvenEvilHasStandards: He goes along with Marik's plan to hold Bakura hostage, but is unnerved that Yami is actually going to go through with attacking him anyway.
133* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: He loved his mother.
134* GentleGiant: Closest thing to a ScaryBlackMan the show has; literally ''worships'' the [[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfTheGummiBears Gummi Bears]], and summons the Easter Bunny in his duel with Joey.
135* ManChild: He loves gummy bears and plays childish cards.
136* MinionWithAnFInEvil: He's not only completely harmless but also a ManChild.
137* MoralityChain: For Marik; without him, Melvin is able to roam free.
138* ScaryBlackMan: Well, Egyptian, but looks the part. Subverted in his immature and comical he is.
139* ShootTheDog: He murdered his father's pet poisonous snake, Cornelius, because he bit and almost killed Marik.
140* TheStoic: Humorously so, as Marik describes him as "bland and one-dimensional".
141* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Gummy bears. He loves them so much, just hearing "gummy bears" is enough to [[spoiler:wake him up from a coma]].
142* TheUnfavorite: Depressingly enough, he's this both in-universe ''and'' out.
143-->"Jeez, Even in my own flashbacks I'm a minor character."
144* VocalDissonance: Has the same deep, gravelly voice as a baby.
145* WellDoneSonGuy: Tries to please [[{{Jerkass}} his father]], which obviously doesn't work.
146* YesMan: Lampshaded when Marik notes that all he seems to say is "Yes, Master Marik."
147[[/folder]]
148
149[[folder:Roba Family]]
150!!Roba Family
151
152[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_7911_8.png]]
153
154-->''"Would you like to purchase our baby? We no longer have any use for it."''
155
156A gang of circus freaks led by Espa Roba, their brother duels to support them.
157----
158* AdaptationalVillainy: They all want to get rid of their youngest sibling, a stark contrast to their close family bond in the original series.
159* CatchPhrase: "Would you like this baby?" and "This X doesn't deserves a spot in/on my Y, but it might make a good coaster for my drink!"
160* CircusBrat: They used to work in the circus. Including the baby.
161* NoIndoorVoice: They all shout all the time.
162* ParentalAbandonment: They have no visible parents. They also keep trying (and failing) to give their youngest sibling away.
163* PhonyPsychic: Espa Roba pretends to be psychic, but in actuality, his brothers tell Espa what card Joey is using via a headset and viewing their duel from a tall building with binoculars. Joey also immediately caught on since Mai already tried that trick before.
164* OlderThanHeLooks: Espa Roba is ''37 years old'', despite looking not much older than Yugi. While Espa claims that this is because of a growth hormone condition, Yami theorizes it's because of the in-breeding.
165* StrongFamilyResemblance: They all look exactly the same (even the baby).

168[[folder:Hank Ishtar]]
169!!Hank Ishtar
170
171[[quoteright:737:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/img_7912.jpeg]]
172
173-->''"Oh, hey, son! How's it going? I was just busy whipping the only true friend you ever had! So, how was your day?"''
174
175Marik and Ishizu's father and Odion's stepfather. An abusive monster who likes to whip people and is very stupid, it's his terrible parenting skills that can be blamed for the Ishtars being a BigScrewedUpFamily.
176----
177* AbusiveParents: Especially to Odion, who he whipped bloody for ''Marik's'' misbehavior. He also lets Marik play with a pet cobra.
178* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: Hank claims that his poison immunity stemmed from his pet snake Cornelius biting him again and again. He even theorizes that this is why he's "messed up in the head".
179* AerithAndBob: Marik, Odion, and Ishizu, the children of Hank and Veronica Ishtar.
180* AssholeVictim: No one was upset when Melvin stabbed him.
181-->'''Marik:''' I just murdered my father in cold blood. I need a moment to get over it. ''(beat)'' Okay, I'm over it.
182* BeardOfEvil: He's an abusive parent with a beard. [[HypocriticalHumor Ironically]], he claims that men with beards (like Jesus as an adult and Santa Claus) intimidate him.
183* BumblingDad: If there's ever a time where he's not busy being an AbusiveParent, he's usually this. For example, he apparently bought Marik an Xbox ''and'' a Playstation, which would be awesome if A) he ever let Marik outside to buy games for them, or B) he'd stop pouring beer inside the consoles.
184* CatchPhrase: "Binky boy!"
185* CloudCuckooLander: Likely due to his AcquiredPoisonImmunity stated above.
186* FluffyTheTerrible: He loved his poisonous pet snake, Cornelius.
187* FunetikAksent[=/=]WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Sounds somewhat Italian-ish and… we don't know.
188--> "It was a long taym agoe, een a galuxy FAR, FAR HAWAII…"
189* HypocriticalHumor:
190** He claims he's "The finest human being in the world," then says he will fix Marik's misbehavior the way he fixes all other problems in his life; whip everyone in a 500-yard radius.
191** During "An Ishtar Family Christmas", he claims to hate men with beards because they intimidate him… even though he ''is'' a man with a beard.
192* {{Jerkass}}: Of the highest caliber.
193* LargeHam: Dear ''god'' he is, possibly where Marik got it from.
194* LaughablyEvil: He's so over the top that it's nearly impossible to take anything he does seriously.
195* NamedByTheAdaptation: He didn't have a name in the original. Nether did Veronica for that matter.
196* ObliviouslyEvil: Insists that he is the finest human being in the world ''and'' the greatest dad of all time. This isn't sharing a border with InsaneTrollLogic so much as invading it.
197* SmallNameBigEgo: He's rather full of himself for a guy who lives underground ignorant of the world.
198* SoundtrackDissonance: Keeps singing a (modified) version of "The Cat's in the Cradle" while Melvin stabs him to death.
199* SkewedPriorities: Decides to hold his newborn baby son up to the moon (as some vaguely defined ritual they apparently do) rather than show any concern when his wife tells him she's [[DeathByChildbirth dying]]. Also punishes Odion for killing his poisonous pet snake Cornelious, despite how it had just bitten his son Marik and almost killed him.
200* TooDumbToLive: [[DeathByOriginStory Literally]]. His sole appearances are to establish Marik's StartOfDarkness was killing him for being a terrible parent.
201* WhipOfDominance: "I'm going to fix this like I fix every other problem in my life: by h-whipping everybody within a five-hundred-yard radius!"

213-> '''Leichter voiced by:''' Nick "Creator/{{Lanipator}}" Landis
214-> '''Johnson voiced by:''' Scott "Creator/KaiserNeko" Freichs
215-> '''Crump voiced by:''' Curtis "[=Takahata101=]" Arnott
216-->''"Team [=4Kids=], blasting off at the speed of light!"''
217
218A group of former Kaiba Corporation executives who were fooled by Seto into assisting him in taking over Gozaburo's position, only to get screwed by his newfound money. They begrudgingly served him until Pegasus attempted making a deal with them that would give them back their prominent positions. They failed. Afterward, they tried to trap Kaiba in cyberspace. They failed. To add insult to injury, they ended up [[HoistByHisOwnPetard trapped in their own little world]] until Noah stumbled upon them and offered them new positions at 4Kids. They eagerly accepted and now an opportunity has arisen in which they will have their RoaringRampageOfRevenge.
219----
220* AdaptationalBadass: Crump actually manages to defeat Téa during their duel.
221* AffectionateParody: Of Creator/FourKidsEntertainment and Creator/TeamFourStar; the latter cast members voice them.
222* AlasPoorVillain: Right after they die (coinciding with the bankruptcy of the actual [=4Kids=]), the heroes feel sorry for them, pointing out that while they did censor a lot of things, they still brought happy memories to the children watching the show.
223* AmoralAttorney: Johnson is the head of the 4Kids legal department, and the one responsible for repeatedly pulling Abridged Series videos from Website/YouTube.
224* BadassCreed: During their proper introduction.
225* CruelAndUnusualDeath:
226** Noah asks for suggestions on what to do with the cast of the series once it gets canceled. Their suggestions? "Death by drowning!" "Death by robot!" "Death by justice!" "Death by bad publicity!" "Death by penguins!"
227** Lecter actually appears, where it is revealed his job is [[CulturalTranslation localization]], and his deck master Jinzo can destroy internet memes. Given the series' reliance on {{Shout Out}}s, this is actually more effective than it seems.
228* DirtyOldMan: Crump. He lusts over Téa during their duel, and is shown in episode 63 masturbating to WesternAnimation/{{Pingu}}.
229* EagleLand: Lector is of the "America the Boorish" variety.
230-->'''Leichter''': It's called ''localization'', Mr. Kaiba. Because I do declare, there's only one country that matters when it comes to translatin' stuff. And that's Americanlanyvania... I mean America.
231* EvenEvilHasStandards: The other four of the Big Five admit that they don't want Téa's body due to not wanting "Crump's sloppy seconds. Not even Crump".
232* FateWorseThanDeath: Each member is sent to the darkest, most vile parts of the internet. In some cases it's subverted, though.
233** Gansley gets sent to Megaupload, where he's all alone since the site has been taken down by the FBI.
234** Johnson gets sent to The Dangerous Box. He's not so much horrified as he is [[EvenEvilHasStandards shocked]]/[[VillainRespect impressed]] at the sheer amount of slander on the site, more than he'd seen during his entire tenure as an AmoralAttorney.
235** Nesbitt winds up on [=ChatRoulette=], where he has an encounter with [[WebVideo/NarutoTheAbridgedSeries Naruto]]. He claims he's a robot when he's seen using his human form.
236** Leichter ends up on Fanfiction.net. Let's just say he gets royally [[MindScrew Mind Screwed]].
237** The only one who seems genuinely happy about his fate is Crump, because he gets sent to Website/FourChan and spams the board with penguins. [[spoiler: The sudden cutoff, however, implies that he gets banned.]]
238** In the flashback during Episode 63, Noah instead banishes them all to Tumblr. Again, Crump is the only one who likes it.
239* GrandTheftMe: Like the show, Nesbitt succeeds in stealing Tristan's body. Unlike the show, Crump takes over Téa's body and remains in it for a few episodes before Marik kicks him out.
240* GreaterScopeVillain: Johnson, in a sense. He reveals he's the one that's repeatedly banned the series from Website/YouTube, but Johnson isn't the main antagonist of the arc.
241* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Lecter turns himself into a Jinzo, which is capable of destroying internet memes. Kaiba, at the end of their duel, turns ''Lecter himself'' into an internet meme, causing his own power to destroy him (though he survives to take part in the subsequent duel).
242* LogicBomb: Invoked with Nesbitt due to him being a robot. When asking "the chicken or the egg" question doesn't work, Duke resorts to showing him [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/50512_182776888417916_3540130_n_9498.jpg the design]] for [[Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL Yuma]].
243* MerchandiseDriven: Parodied with Nesbitt, who is head of merchandising. He intends to turn Tristan, Duke, and Serenity, into TotallyRadical characters with lots of accessories that will appeal to kids better.
244* PhraseCatcher: Nesbitt. After a [[RocketPunch Rocket-powered fist!]], it's obligatory to say "I stand corrected".
245* QuirkyMinibossSquad: For their BadassCreed, they recite [[ShoutOut a variation of]] [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries the original Team Rocket motto.]]
246* {{Robosexual}}: Nesbitt.
247-->"There's nothing sexier than a giant robot with rocket-powered fists!"
248* RocketPunch: Nesbitt loves this trope.
249-->'''Serenity:''' "Okay Nesbitt, which came first: the chicken, or the egg?" \
250'''Nesbitt:''' "The rocket-powered fist!" \
251'''Serenity:''' "But that wasn't one of the opti--OWWWWWW!"
252* TheOtherDarrin: [[invoked]] Lampshaded. [=GanXingba=] voiced Gansley in his short scene at the end of Season 2, but Creator/Hbi2k took over the role for Season 3. Then in a clip show at the end of the season, [=GanXingba=] returns as him to note the trope.
253* WouldHurtAChild: Nesbitt has no problem with physically assaulting Mokuba and knocking him unconscious. Granted, while possessing a teen's body, but still.

256!Season 4
257
258[[folder:Dartz's Motorcycle-Riding Henchmen]]
259!!Alister, Raphael, and Valon
260[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/evil_motorcycle_riding_henchmen.png]]
261
262Dartz's three henchmen who love riding on their motorcycles. They are ''extremely'' disturbed by his accent distorting his plans to have sexual implications.
263----
264* AdaptationalHeroism: They often show reluctance with whatever order Dartz gives them, mainly because it either horrifies or grosses them out.
265* AdaptationalWimp: Played with, as their track record so far is about the same, but they're not as imposing here as they are in the original dub.
266* AmazonChaser: Played with. Raphael assumes that Valon loves Mai because of her being wild and determined. Valon agrees, then admits it's more because she has a nice bum.
267* AmbiguouslyBi: Valon shows up before Joey and Tristan and comments that he's "got a date with the attractive blonde". He's not talking about Mai.
268* [[BadassBiker Badass Bikers]]: Though Yugi, Joey, and Tristan don't think so.
269* BiggerIsBetterInBed: Alister, in the Kami-Con 2011 trailer, when he takes Dartz's orders to have Creator/MarinMiller sign his dick to its logical conclusion.
270-->'''Marin Miller:''' How do you even hide that?! Where do you put it?! I-I'm not even angry, anymore. I'm impressed, actually.
271* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: Raphael is revealed to have this in episode 71 where he believes that the ability to do evil means you are automatically evil.
272* CerebusRetcon: Raphael saying nothing but "ZUG-ZUG" in his early appearances was due to him having forgotten how to speak English during his time stranded alone on a desert island. And Alister's voice is the result of [[GroinAttack being injured in an explosion]].
273* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Raphael started as a generic henchman whose only line was "Zugzug." Later installments of Evil Council turned him into a DeadpanSnarker.
274** Valon initially used stereotypical "Australian words" until Rapahel told him he's supposed to have a Cockney accent. From that point he slowly began to shift more and more towards using Cockney lingo.
275* ContrivedCoincidence: Basically how their (failed) plan to kill Yugi and his friends in California came down to. They hire a limo driver to drive a bunch of kids in a dessert to which a gang of bikers just randomly show up to kill them.
276-->'''Valon:''' Oi, Raf. Why does our plan make absolutely no sense?\
277'''Rafael:''' Anime.\
278'''Valon:''' Oh yeah.
279* CreepyMonotone: Raphael's voice rarely ever raises above a dull monotone, which incidentally has the side effect of making it difficult to read when he's being [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic]] and when he isn't. The [[SubvertedTrope one time]] it does go higher, its when the plot of the season gets so contrived he enters SanitySlippage.
280* DarkAndTroubledPast: All three of them.
281** Alister's involved two foreign countries going to war with his brother dying in the crossfire, and his voice stuck in a permanent soprano after his testicles were forced back inside his body from a tank explosion. He proceeded to blame the first person he saw, Gozoboro Kaiba, the one who was supplying weaponry to both sides of the conflict.
282** Raphael lost his family in a freak tsunami and was stranded on an island for several years, losing the ability to say anything but "zug-zug". He thus decided that [[InsaneTrollLogic humanity deserved to die due to having the potential to be evil]].
283** Valon gave up on trying not to be an "evil little shithead" at a young age after he witnessed [[VideoGame/LikeADragon Goro Majima]] burning down a random nun's church. Unlike the others, however, he doesn't consider humanity to be evil because of this--it's just that [[MisanthropeSupreme he really hates people]]. Joey admits this is actually quite a reasonable motivation compared to the other henchmen.
284* DarkerAndEdgier: Yami considers Raphael to be the edge-lord version of Mako Tsunami.
285* DeadpanSnarker: Raphael after his CharacterizationMarchesOn.
286-->'''Raphael''': Are [the new members] gonna be lamer than the last one?\
287'''Zombie Boy''': [[ImStandingRightHere I'm right here.]]\
288'''Raphael''': Sup', lame-o?
289** Alister, surprisingly enough, gets a few moments of being this when he's [[spoiler:impersonating Pegasus]].
290* TheDragon: Raphael, the leader of the motorcycle riding henchmen and Dart'z right-hand.
291* EliteMooks: The three of them (and Mai) are likely to this to the biker henchmen used to kidnap professor Hawkins and try to kill the main characters.
292* EvilBrit: Raphael notes Valon is supposed to be Cockney but he speaks, acts, and thinks like he is an Australian.
293* ExcaliburInTheRust: Deconstructed with Raphael's faded cards, with Yami sarcastically suggesting that if he truly valued them so much that he considers them family, then he really ought to have put them in some protective sleeves to shield them from the elements.
294* ForTheEvulz: Unlike Alister, who [[MisplacedRetribution specifically hates Kaiba for his father's crimes]], and Raphael, who believes [[BlackAndWhiteInsanity all humanity is evil because he lost his family to a freak tidal wave]], Valon helps Dartz wipe out humanity simply because he hates people.
295* FreudianExcuse: Defied by Valon. He doesn't work for Dartz because of some tragic past, [[MisanthropeSupreme he just really hates people]]. Ironically, it's this explicit lack of an excuse that Joey considers to be the most sensible motivation any villain in the series has had thus far.
296* FreudianSlip: Raphael keeps calling Guardian Eatos "mommy" and try to correct himself immediately after.
297* GracefulLoser: After Joey inexplicably becomes the most badass duelist in the entire series to beat him, Valon admits that Joey is more worthy of Mai than he is.
298* GroinAttack: Alister suffered an explosion that caused his testicles to retreat back to his body when he was kid, which is where he gained that high-pitched voice of his.
299* HalfheartedHenchman: They help Dartz but find him ''really'' weird.
300* {{Hypocrite}}: Rafael. After calling Yugi evil for sacrificing his monsters and using the Seal of Orichalcos once in Episode 71, he used the Seal himself and later sacrifice his monsters to empower Guardian Dreadscythe in Episode 80. Yugi was not amused by this and calls him out on it.
301-->'''Yugi:''' "Because I didn't realize that Orichalcos was Latin for giant f*cking hypocrite."
302* HypocriticalHumor: Alister thinks Pegasus has a silly voice. Then again, he can't exactly stop speaking in a high-pitched squeak…
303* InformedFlaw: Alister allegedly suffered a GroinAttack that left him with a high-speeched voice due to his testicles being unable to drop, yet [[spoiler:he is perfectly able to mimic Pegasus' much deeper voice while posing as him]]. Then again, he personally seems to think ''that'' voice is even more ridiculous.
304* InsaneTrollLogic: The crux of Rafael's TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the Pharaoh, which is actually lifted directly from the original series: You don't remember your past, so it's possible you might have been evil, therefore you definitely were. Played with in that the Pharaoh is [[ALighterShadeOfBlack self-admittedly "a little evil"]]. Lampshaded when the Pharaoh comments that he's starting to see several holes in Rafael's logic.
305* JustFollowingOrders: Or at least what they ''assume'' are Dartz's orders.
306* KnightOfCerebus: Raphael may have flimsy motives, but the fact that he could beat Yami shows just how serious he is. Yami even describes him as a "total edgelord".
307* KnightTemplar: Raphael believes that just having the potential to be evil is as bad as being evil, which is his motives for hating Yami.
308* LandDownUnder: Valon is Australian, though his anime voice actor meant to give him a cockney accent.
309* ManlyTears: Raphael when Yami mocks his dead family.
310* MisanthropeSupreme: Valon's motivation for destroying humanity is simply because he hates people. Joey notes that this is the most logical reason to be a villain among all of Dartz's henchmen--if not any villain in the series thus far--compared to the others' more elaborate yet nonsensical backstories.
311* MisplacedRetribution: Parodied with Alister; after a war devastated his country and caused the death of his brother, he initially tried to swear revenge against the country responsible. However, since both said country and his own were an in-universe case of NoNameGiven, he was unable to figure out which country it was, and decided to instead direct his hatred toward the first person he saw as vaguely associated to the conflict, namely Gozaburo Kaiba. And since Gozaburo died by the time he showed up, he decided to [[SinsOfTheFather redirect it toward Seto]], despite the fact Seto had ''nothing'' to do with this whole thing and in fact ended [=KaibaCorp=]'s weapon trade.
312* NoNonsenseNemesis: Raphael plays Duel Monsters properly, announcing his moves as he makes them. Contrast to everyone else, whose duels consist of standing around talking, internet references, and Yami winning at the end.
313* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Yugi and his friends originally consider them to be "lame," only for Raphael to defeat Yami several episodes later. Likewise, Valon is incredibly violent during his duels while Alister manages to really get under Kaiba's skin while he's disguised as Pegasus and arranges for the plane they're dueling on to crash in case he should happen to win their rematch.
314* OnlySaneMan: Inverted. They all are this to their boss. Especially Raphael.
315* PokemonSpeak: Raphael, who said nothing but "[[VideoGame/{{Warcraft}} ZUG ZUG]]" in the first two ''Evil Council'' videos. Episode 71 reveals that this was a side effect of being stranded on that island for years.
316* SuddenlyVoiced: After that he normally speaks in a [[DeadpanSnarker slow and droning fashion]]. Dartz [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this in the fourth ''Evil Council'' video.
317-->"Mayan, I liked you bettah when you said "zoog zoog". Ya weren't such a little bitch!"
318** Yami also mocks him for this, saying that he'd be better off continuing to say nothing but "ZUGZUG".
319* SurroundedByIdiots: Raphael knows this all too well, which is why he does the monologuing.
320* VillainTeleportation: Via their Orichalcos stones, which creates FridgeLogic of why they even need vehicles to travel when they can simply warp to anywhere they want.
321* WorthyOpponent: Played with regarding each of them.
322** Kaiba pretends to think Alister is one in order to goad him into continuing the Duel rather than abandoning it to let him die in a plane crash by pointing out the odds in Alister's favor. He immediately pulls out The Fang of Critias and reveals that he was using ExactWords when he claimed that Alister was most likely to win compared to all the other villains he Dueled; all the other villains had no chance of beating him whatsoever, and by comparison Alister had "a big 0.1%" chance.
323** Valon plays it straightest and comes to consider Joey one, particularly in regards to competing for Mai. He completely fails to acknowledge that he's a HopelessSuitor at best for Mai, that Joey himself already recognizes that the age gap between them already puts her out of his league and yet he's still got more of a chance than Valon, and that Mai does not appreciate the CockFight over her regardless.
324** Yami considers Raphael "worthy" in the sense that he'd never insult him face-to-face again for fear of getting defeated a second time.

335
336Another member of Dartz's organization who duels Yami in the premiere of Season 4. He's just a throwaway VillainOfTheWeek, so he has no proper name, but Yami names him "Bro." Something he does not approve of.
337----
338* AsYouKnow: Despite Yami lampshading that he's a world champion duelist who knows Duel Monsters very well, Bro feels the need to explain what his cards do.
339* EvilSoundsDeep: Courtesy of his guest-star voice actor, he has a very deep and booming voice as far as most voices in the show go.
340* FlatCharacter: Mercilessly mocked; he has no depth, personality, backstory, or even a proper name. He's just there to be Yami's opponent. Ironically, his NotSoAboveItAll moments probably give him ''more'' character than in the original version.
341* ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne: He didn't appreciate Yami calling his beard "little".
342* LameComeback: "Mr. Smarty-pharaoh" is not a very impressive insult.
343* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: He claims he doesn't have a real name, so Yami names him "Bro." In the dub, his name was never mentioned -- he introduced himself as "Gurimo" in the Japanese version.
344* NeverSayDie: A RunningGag in Season 4 is him being subjected to an inversion of this trope. Yugi repeatedly refers to him as being dead ever since they dueled, even though he seems to know that this technically is not true.
345* NotSoAboveItAll: He starts off rather serious and stern, but as the episode continues he begins responding to Yami's slang-filled, immature insults in kind.
346* RobbingTheDead: Yugi claims that this is what he did to "Bro" by taking the Orichalcos stone from his body after beating him. It's technically incorrect since "Bro" did not actually die, he lost his soul, but Yugi keeps referring to him as dead.
347* YourSoulIsMine: He introduces the Seal of Orichalcos to the series by doing this to Rex and Weevil, then threatens to do this to the Pharaoh. Later, he's subjected to this himself by Dartz.

358
359Siegfried’s younger brother, who enters Kaiba’s Grand Prix (“You’re a grand prick”) under the name “Leon Wilson”.
360----
361* AccentAdaptation: In the original 4Kids dub, Leon's accent was a standard American accent, probably done to better hide his true identity. Here, he has the same German accent as his older brother.
362* AdaptationalVillainy: Downplayed. The original Leon was hard on the anti side of anti-villains and means no ill will whatsoever to the heroes, while this version of Leon seems at the very least willing to consider throwing Yugi's Exodia cards away like Weevil did.
363* ChekhovsGunman: Roland lampshades the fact he gave his name earlier before any of the other contestants are introduced as a sign he would be important later.

381The leader of the Elite Beat Agents and minor antagonist for the Pilot episode of Season Zero. [[Anime/Yugioh5Ds Becomes a motorcycle-riding security guard in the future]].
382----
383* AdaptationalVillainy: Zig-Zagged. He's just as worse as his first anime counterpart, but he also died as a bully, whereas his original self went on to be a cop who is friends with Yusei in the future.
384* BigOlEyebrows: His gigantic eyebrows are the first thing Yugi notices about him.
385* DeathByAdaptation: In the first episode of Season Zero, he gets EatenAlive by giant man-eating worms. In contrast, the actual anime sees Ushio undergo a horrible MindRape, which the worms are a part of.
386* DecompositeCharacter: Officially, Officer Trudge from Anime/YuGiOh5Ds is really the adult version of Ushio. Here, Ushio is simply that bully Yami Yugi killed in Season 0, while Trudge ends up being a "fan fiction police" in a charity video Little Kuriboh made for shadowwolf, appearing solely to arrest Yugi and Kaiba for violating Canon storylines.
387* OnlyInItForTheMoney: His intentions are revealed when he demands 20000 Yen (That's like a whole dollar!) for his services (AKA beating up Joey and Tristan without Yugi ever telling him that he wanted him to.)
388* StealthPun:
389--> [[DontExplainTheJoke Get it? Elite Beat Agents.]]
390* ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer: Played for laughs when Yugi found out that he beat the ever loving crap out of Joey and Tristan.

396
397A self-described "criminal mastermind and part-time fast food restaurant manager" who appears in the third episode of Season Zero.
398----
399* AdaptationNameChange: A small case. The canon Jiro called himself the “Jorogumo”, a type of spider-creature from Japanese mythology. The third Season Zero episode gives him the moniker “Yellow Spider,” a common translation.
400* BadBoss: Forces Tristan to clean up an old woman's "mess" with his shirt and not a mop.
401* BerserkButton: He ''doesn't'' take it kindly when you mock the quality of his restaurant's food. Unfortunately for him, [[TooDumbToLive this leads him to do something that ends up killing him]]
402* DeathByAdaptation: The original Jiro was {{Mind Rape}}d into thinking he was set on fire, while this Jiro actually was. This is zigzagged as his manga counterpart, Prisoner 777, actually was set ablaze.
403* EvilIsPetty: See BadBoss.
404* KillItWithFire: How Dark Yugi kills him.
405* PetTheDog: Stored a supply of alcohol and cigarettes for Creator/HayaoMiyazaki.
406* PokeThePoodle: While he ''does'' accomplish actual crimes by attempted murder and hostage situation in the episode, the reason the Website/YouTube police sees him as a criminal mastermind was merely because he found a LoopholeAbuse allowing him to post internet parodies without getting arrested for copyright.
407* TattooedCrook: The spider tattoo on his back gives away his identity.
408* TooDumbToLive: Even though Dark Yugi ''warned'' him shooting would set him on fire, he still decides to do so when his BerserkButton get pushed, which leads to his death.
409* WouldHitAGirl: If said girl sings ''Firework'' off-key, as Tea finds out the hard way.
