[[folder:Main Characters]]
!!Yugi Muto
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/yugi_9330.gif
Our protagonist. In the Abridged Series, Yugi shares the most amount of ever-so coveted screen time with Yami. His story plays out pretty much the same as it normally does, except with more card games and snarkiness.
----
* {{Adorkable}}: At least two people have mistaken him for [[PandaingToTheAudience a baby panda]]. Including the spirit that possesses him regularly.
* AnimeHair: Which is crazy enough for two people.
* AntiHero: He's quite often a jerk, even to his friends, and can be very bitter and cynical at times, but he does show he's a good guy mostly.
* CatchPhrase: "Super Special Awesome" and "LetMeGetThisStraight..."
* DeadpanSnarker: Not quite as much as other characters, though.
* GenreSavvy: Usually ties in with his role as OnlySaneMan and MetaGuy.
* TheHero: Although he believes the Pharaoh to be the hero.
* {{Hipster}}: Briefly parodied.
-->I'm Yugi Moto, and I was playing card games before it was cool.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Acknowledges his role as main character, but sometimes lets it get out of hand; i.e, not allowing anyone more screen time than him.
** He then questions this when he starts to believe that the Pharaoh is the hero. Although they both ''really'' don't want anyone cutting in on their screen time.
* KidWithTheLeash: Currently the page quote (for a very good reason).
-->'''Yami Yugi:''' Couldn't I just [[MindRape mind-crush]] him?\\
'''Yugi:''' You can't [[TheAllSolvingHammer fix all your problems]] by mind-crushing people!\\
'''Yami Yugi:''' Oh, come on! Just one little mind-crush, it'll barely hurt him.\\
'''Yugi:''' No! Bad pharaoh! No mind-crush!
* MetaGuy: Starting from halfway through Season 2, he's often the first to complain about plot holes or nonsensical plans. A striking example is when he acknowledges the undertones of the speech delivered by Joey about [[WriterOnBoard how the abridged series has introduced many to the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise and he has the fanbase by his side]]:
--> This is so meta.
* MundaneUtility: Uses the millennium puzzle as a fashion accessory and visits the Pharaoh's soul room when he gets bored.
* OnlySaneMan: The closest this show can get to one, at least.
* PerverseSexualLust: Occasionally shown to have this for the Dark Magician Girl.
* SexierAlterEgo: Yami.
* SharingABody: Again, with Yami.
* SmokingIsCool: Averted. [[RealityEnsues He mentions he should quit smoking after running for a relatively short time makes him exhausted]].
!!Yami Victor Yugi, aka "The Pharaoh" [[spoiler: aka "{{DAN GREE|N}}EEEEN"]]
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/YamiYugi_941.jpg
The incredibly FABULOUS alter-ego of our protagonist. Yami is not as heroic as he was in the source material, but at the same time he's just as hammy (if not more so.) He's a bastard who mind crushes people for arbitrary reasons, but he's not all bad, considering he's one of the heroes.
----
* AmbiguouslyGay: Bakura's gaydar has reacted to him, he believes that the Millennium Puzzle is just ''fabulous'', has an obsession with leather pants and claimed that he was straight if Kaiba's ghost was real. [[spoiler: Turns out the "ghost" was actually a gay clown.]]
** Alternatively, BiTheWay, because of Téa. However, in "They Saved Tristan's Brain," it's revealed that he isn't sure if she's a girl. Also, consider the quote from DepravedBisexual below.
** And then there's ''Bonds Beyond Time Abridged''.
* AmIRight: "Hey, Joey. Watapon! Am I right?" - About one of the cards in Kaiba's lame-ass deck when he takes over the duel with Noah.
** Also:
--> '''Yami:''' Huh, five men in one body, eh? Sounds like a typical day for Mai Valentine. Am I right?
--> '''Joey:''' [[DudeShesLikeInAComa Yug, she's in a coma!]]
--> '''Yami:''' Am I right?
--> '''Joey:''' It's just very inappropriate is all.
--> '''Yami:''' Yes, but am I right?
--> '''Joey:''' ''YUGI!''
--> '''Yami:''' ''JOEY!'' ...Am. I. Right?
* AntiHero: He cares nothing for anyone, loves to [[MindRape Mind Crush]] people, when Yugi's friends are in danger his reactions range from indifference to joy, and in Season 0 he's completely AxCrazy. As with everything else in the series though this is subject to RuleOfFunny -- when Noah turns his friends to stone he doesn't care until he petrifies Tristan, which horrifies him.
* AxCrazy: In Season 0.
* TheCaligula: His rule as Pharaoh Atem. "Slavemas" is the only word you need.
* DeadpanSnarker: Very much so.
* DepravedBisexual: Comes off as this, at least in the "What would Yugi do?" video.
--> '''Yami:''' Silence, slave, or do you ''want'' me to yank on your leash again?
--> '''Yugi:''' Ow, not so tight, Pharoah!
--> '''Yami:''' ThatsWhatSheSaid. Or he. I could go either way, really. And that is ''also'' what she said!
--> '''Yugi:''' You're so depraved.
--> '''Yami:''' At least I'm not deprived. Of sex. Like ''you'' will be if you don't pipe down, little man!
* GenreSavvy
* [[ShesGotLegs He's Got Legs]]: A cross he has to bear, apparently.
--> '''Yami:''' Can I help it [sitting with his legs crossed] if I have such long, womany legs? It's the cross I have to bear, Yugi. You wouldn't know, being so....short and all. Oooohhhh! These long, beautiful legs of mine! Ahhhh!
* HellBentForLeather:
--> '''Marik''': I'm talking about the power to ''look good in leather!''
--> '''Yami''': That power belongs to me and me alone! And maybe {{NSync}}, but mostly to me!
* TheHero: Yugi's perception. Actually more like TheLancer.
* HeroicComedicSociopath: On Christmas, he sent Marik and his evil Council of Doom a present. [[spoiler: A bomb.]]
** His season zero counterpart is a full blown psycho who just seems to like killing the people who hurt Yugi, making him heroic in the [[NominalHero loosest possible definition.]]
---> '''Yami''': Hey, Kaiba! You took my Grandfather's card, so I took your bodyguards' kidneys. I believe that's a fair trade.
* {{Jerkass}}: Evidenced all over this page.
* LargeHam: Obviously, since in the dub, he's '''voiced by [[DanGreen DAN GREEN]]'''.
* LaughingMad: His ''Season Zero'' persona as he's being released by Yugi. He does one hell of an EvilLaugh.
* MetaGuy: Unlike his counterpart, he's been this since day one.
* NotSoDifferent: From Kaiba. Neither care particularly much about about their brothers, and neither read or watch crap, such as Twilight or that one Star Wars movie.
* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:Episode 58 where he doesn't care about Joey being knocked unconscious by Melvin's egyptian god card. At the same time, ranting how people in his time didn't bother caring.]]
* NominalHero: At least initially.
* OhCrap: When Kaiba summons Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon in 14.
--> '''Yami:''' Oh, poopie!
* OlderAlterEgo: To Yugi.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Referred to as "[the] Pharaoh" by most of the characters; just as it was in the original show.
-->'''Yami:''' [[IHaveManyNames I have had many names.]] Once I was known as 'Pharaoh'. Then I was '[[TheTropeFormerlyKnownAsX The Artist Formerly Known as Pharaoh']]. But you can call me 'Yami'.\\
'''Yugi:''' I thought your name was Ate-\\
'''Yami:''' Shh! Don't spoil it, now!
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: Aims a string of misogynistic insults at the offscreen, comatose Mai in episode 54, much to Joey's discomfort. "It's funny because she's a woman."
* RealityEnsues: Tells the Big Five, how dumb it would be that if they did win the duel, no one at the corporation would take them seriously as they are in average teenaged bodies.
* SealedEvilInACan: Season Zero mostly, but he has his moments in the main series
--> Now burn it, Yugi. BURN IT TO THE GROUND!
* SuperPoweredEvilSide: In Season 0.
* UnscrupulousHero: After his CharacterDevelopment.
!![[spoiler:Steve]] Joey Wheeler
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/joey_5835.jpg
TheLancer. Joey serves the same role as he does originally. He's a closet {{furry}} and might also have an attraction to Kaiba, but then again, [[MemeticSexGod who doesn't]]? On the other hand, he's recently admitted [[spoiler:his love for Mai Valentine's breasts.]]
[[spoiler: Marik legally changed his name to Steve, but no one seems to acknowledge it. He's also indirectly responsible for Noah's death, since teaching Serenity how to drive caused her to hit Noah.]]
----
* AloofBigBrother: More of a JerkAss Big Brother.
* BiTheWay: He's apparently attracted to both Kaiba and Mai Valentine.
* BrooklynRage: TropeNamer, but not an example himself, being from Japan.
* CatchPhrase:
** "Brooklyn Rage!!", which didn't catch on ([[AscendedMeme in-universe, anyway.]])
** Must... risk... life... for X!
* FurryFandom: A member. He prefers to keep it hidden from Serenity, but has fully admitted it to his friends.
* HomoeroticDream: Dressed up as a dog and forced to obey Kaiba. This isn't the only time.
* IdiotHero
* {{Jerkass}}: To Serenity, mostly.
* TheLancer
* PatrickStewartSpeech: Delivers one in episode 50 where Joey defends the institution of TheAbridgedSeries.
* VerbalTic: "Nyeh!"
!![[spoiler:Steve]] Téa Gardner
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tea1_4669.jpg
Téa's incredibly fixated on friendship, and honestly believes it's the ultimate source of power and can right any wrong, God bless her. She can and will make speeches about friendship when provoked, and if she focuses on a single target, well...[[FateWorseThanDeath the less said, the better]]. [[spoiler:Her name was also legally changed to Steve so Marik could take over his mind for a short time, but she is still referred to by her original name.]]
----
* AbhorrentAdmirer
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: UpToEleven in Season 0. She considers Yami a KnightInShiningArmor... after he [[KillItWithFire burns the criminal]] [[DistressedDamsel holding her hostage]] [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath to death]] [[AngstWhatAngst right in front of her]]. ([[StealthPun She insists it was really hot]].)
* BewareTheNiceOnes
* ButtMonkey: While not on the level of Joey and Tristan, she still qualifies.
* TheChick
* CrossdressingVoices[=/=]LarynxDissonance
* DependingOnTheArtist: Lampshaded in episode 49
* GoodIsNotSoft: She uses ThePowerOfFriendship to MindRape somebody. 'Nuff said.
* InformedFlaw: Lampshaded by Yami while she is dueling Crump as he points out her two previous victories while Yugi insists she's never played Duel Monsters. Because of his lack of faith, she temporarily forgets how to play and this hesitation costs her the duel.
* LoveableSexManiac: "The only one who will be taking my body is Yugi and/or Yami". This despite the fact that she has offered herself to Duke Devlin, declared that she wanted to sleep with Marik, and even tried to seduce Yugi's Grandpa.
* [[LovesMyAlterEgo Loves Yugi's Sexy Alter Ego]]: Though she also wants to hook up with Yugi at times.
* MasterOfTheMixedMessage: Taken UpToEleven in Season Zero.
-->'''Yugi:''' Thanks for standing up for me, Téa.\\
'''Téa:''' That's okay, Yugi. You know I think you're ''really'' cute.\\
'''Yugi:''' Hey, you wanna go out some time?\\
'''Téa:''' I meant as a ''friend'', Yugi.\\
'''Yugi:''' ...Oh, um, okay... sorry.\\
'''Téa:''' But I do love you.\\
'''Yugi:''' ''Really?!''\\
'''Téa:''' ''As a friend,'' Yugi!\\
'''Yugi:''' Oh... Alright.\\
'''Téa:''' Let's have sex later, okay?\\
'''Yugi:''' ...Huh?\\
'''Téa:''' ''AS FRIENDS, Yugi!'' Geez, such a pervert.
* MostFanFicWritersAreGirls
* ThePowerOfFriendship: A firm believer.
* StraightMan: She ''tries'', but often ends up acting as goofy as the rest of her friends.
* TheTease: Towards Yugi in Season 0.
* YaoiFangirl:
** [[{{Shipping}} Ships]] Literature/HarryPotter characters.
** Hinted at earlier in episode nine:
---> '''Joey''': Man, I had the most unbelievable dream. There were two Yugis, and Bakura was a main character!\\
'''Téa''': I usually enjoy dreams that involve two Yugis, but that one was very disappointing.
** She also mentions having "the weirdest boner" when Yami says "my body Noah! Take it or leave it!"
!!Tristan Timothy Taylor
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/TristanTaylor_2874.jpg
Tristan is... dumb. [[TheDitz Really dumb]]. That is pretty much all there is to be said about him. However, when he isn't [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} stuck in his own bizarre little world]], he can be surprisingly badass: his voice gives him super strength, after all. [[spoiler:His physical body was destroyed/possessed during The Cancelled Series, and he spent most of it as a robotic monkey. His friends thought he died, but in the end he got better.]]
----
* AmbiguouslyBi: He has a crush on Serenity like his source material, but it's also implied he has a thing with Joey and Duke.
* AnimeHair
* BeenThereShapedHistory: According to the trailer of episode 51, he fought in the Vietnam War, gave Mr.T his name (the "T" stands for "Tristan"), and went back in time with [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor]] and wiped out the dinosaurs.
* ButtMonkey
* CatchPhrase:
** "Holy [[SoundEffectBleep ****]] on a [[SoundEffectBleep ****]] sandwich", later added on by saying "with [[SoundEffectBleep ****]] on top", then [[RuleOfThree a third time]] by finishing it with "And a side helping of [[SoundEffectBleep ****]]". He also said the original line uncensored in episode 48:
--> "Holy [[spoiler: bleep]] on a [[spoiler: bleep]] sandwich!"
** "My voice gives me super strength", he also mentions his voice knowing kung-fu.
** "Burn the Witch!"
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Big time.
--> "Zack and Cody are my imaginary friends!"
** Well, they were his shoulder angels.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Yeah, he can break necks with his mind.
* TheDitz
* IdiotHero
* MemeticBadass: Parodied InUniverse. As mentioned, he breaks necks with his mind, and he might be the one who wiped out the dinosaurs.
* TheOtherDarrin: His voice changed in episode 8 (like the 4Kids dub)... [[SubvertedTrope only to get it back in episode 9]].
-->'''Tristan''[with original voice returned]'':''' Hey, what gives? I liked my new voice! People were starting to take me seriously!\\
'''Yami:''' Sorry, Tristan, but it's much easier to make fun of you this way.
* SimpletonVoice: It gives him super strength!
* TooDumbToLive
!!Seto Kaiba
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1145802799_SetoKaiba1_1719.JPG
Current president of Kaiba Corporation. Seto's story roughly remains the same from the original show, with some minor exceptions. A little known fact is that he once experimented with several drugs which made him believe at one point that his hair was green. Never misses the opportunity to be as BadAss as possible and screw the rules with whatever is necessary. ([[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney Namely with his money since he's obscenely rich]]).
[[spoiler: He's also a robot created by [[DragonBallZAbridged Frieza]] during the times of Ancient Egypt to rule in his stead (making Frieza Kaiba's real father), but due to boredom with the desert environment Frieza just left the planet. How Kaiba was activated and by whom is still unknown.]] Then again, considering [[UnreliableNarrator whom he got this information from]]...
[[spoiler: As it turns out, the whole bit about Frieza was a lie. The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future is his real father.]] '''[[OverlyLongGag Probably]]'''.
Was sued by Industrial Illusions for "shady business deals", but after he assured everyone that he was [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_eUHs_HXow winning]], he actually did.
----
* AbusiveParents
* AffablyEvil: In season 0.
* AmusingInjuries: Has had his finger chopped off by a helicopter blade and hopelessly twisted his hand during an especially elaborate gesture. Got better.
* AntiHero: Referred to as one by Marik.
* AtomicFBomb: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMhIp3uqRzA This scene]].
* BadassLongcoat
* [[spoiler: BizarroUniverse: Kaiba's green-haired incarnation in Season Zero is... different: a NiceGuy ShelteredAristocrat LoveFreak who [[LonelyRichKid just wants to be friends with Yugi et. co]]. He only acts aggressive when provoked, and [[ThePollyanna thinks Yami's threats of]] MindRape and AFateWorseThanDeath are "neat". He also firmly believes in the PowerOfFriendship, is [[WellDoneSonGuy Mokuba's bitch]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking he only plays Duel Monsters for fun.]] Yami is ''[[WrongOnSoManyLevels horrified]]''.]]
* CatchPhrase: Played with. "Screw the rules, I have money" is considered his catchphrase, but he only says it twice. This is even lampshaded when Ishizu says its his catchphrase, and Kaiba mutters "Haven't said that in years". However, he likes dropping variations of the phrase such as "screw the yules" or "ScrewTheMoneyIHaveRules", so he manages to both play the trope straight ''and'' avert it.
--> '''Kaiba:''' Looks like the Rules ... ([[ShoutOut puts on]] [[CSIMiami sunglasses]]) ... Just got Screwed.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He takes over Domino City to host a card game and when someone says that his explaining of the tournament rules is boring he tells them to "[[GetOut Get the hell out of my city!]]"
* CreepyChild: ''[[Anime/YuGiOhFirstAnimeSeries Yu-Gi-Oh!: Season 0]]'' episode two portrays him as this, to the point that the theme song for ''Mister Roger's Neighborhood' can sound unsettling. [[spoiler:Though he probably isn't even trying to be creepy.]]
-->'''Kaiba''' (creepy monotone): I'm Seto Kaiba! The nicest guy on the face of the planet!
* DeadpanSnarker
* TheDragon: To Mokuba in Season Zero.
* FlatEarthAtheist: Parodied to a great extent. Even calling himself "the most skeptical person on this show".
* ItsAllAboutMe: Granted, he knows the show ''isn't'' all about him, but he still thinks it ''should'' be. In fact, he makes TheMovie come to a grinding halt just to point out that he's a better character than Yugi/Yami.
-->'''Robot:''' It's all about you, isn't it, Kaiba?\\
'''Seto:''' Well, yeah.
* {{Jerkass}}
* MadeOfIron: Emerges from the flaming wreckage of a motorcycle crash completely unharmed.
-->"It's a good thing I'm Seto Kaiba, or that might've actually hurt me."
* MadeOfWin: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_eUHs_HXow Yes indeed]]
* MemeticBadass: Invoked, [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] and all-around parodied with Kaiba
-->'''Kaiba:''' "Now do you understand why so many people love me even though I'm the biggest dick in this entire show? It's because I'm Seto freaking Kaiba. Accept no substitutes!"
-->'''Kaiba:''' "It's a good thing I'm Seto Kaiba, or that [motorcycle crash] might have actually hurt me."
-->'''Gozaburo:''' "Seto! Where do you get off kicking down my door like that?" \\
'''Kaiba:''' "Actually I didn't kick it, I just looked at it and it opened for me. I'm Seto Kaiba, I can do that sort of thing."
* NotSoDifferent: From Yami. Neither care particularly much about about their brothers, and neither watch or read crap, such as that one Star Wars movie or Twilight.
* [[OfCourseISmoke Of Course I Do Drugs]]: "I ''am'' on a drug. It's called '''SETO FREAKIN' KAIBA.'''"
* OneLiner: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTN2Zzm1SPI Delivers one to Ishizu after he wins their duel.]] [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney Based on his own memetastic one liner]].
* [[spoiler: RidiculouslyHumanRobot: If the "Kaiba's Real Father" side story would have been canonical with the main series.]]
* ScrewDestiny: "[[MomentOfAwesome F*ck destiny! I'm Seto Kaiba!]]"
* ScrewTheRulesIHaveMoney: TropeNamer
* SelfMadeOrphan: [[RuleOfFunny Fired his own parents]].
** He also forced Gozaburo Kaiba to adopt him by beating him at chess, making him a Self Made Adopted Child... or something.
* SuicidalOverconfidence: "Even though there's absolutely no chance of success, I'm going to defy all logic and attack you anyway!"
* TheUnfettered
* UnscrupulousHero
* TheUnSmile: +1 dead puppies.
* VocalEvolution: Inverted. Rather than become filled with more emotion like as the English dub went on, his voice has become even ''raspier'' with time.
* YouNeedToGetLaid: A handful of people think so.
** He did get laid, according to the [[UnreliableNarrator Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past From The Future.]] [[spoiler: But it was 5000 years ago, and wasn't any good.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Supporting Characters]]
!!INSERT-NAME-OF-SIBLING "Mokuba" Kaiba
Seto's little brother. Tends to get kidnapped a lot. Often told to shut up.
[[spoiler: Like Seto, his true father is a DragonBall character. Unlike Seto, he's not a robot, and is actually the son of Nappa. [[MemeticMutation Ghost Nappa]], to be precise.]] [[UnreliableNarrator Probably, but likely not]].
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Mokuba's the villain for Season 0.
** In the series proper, his idea behind running a company is developing frustrating operating systems that nobody wants to develop for.
* ButtMonkey: He's to insults and kidnapping as Bakura is to injuries and neglect.
* {{Crossdresser}}: Switched outfits with ''Princess'' Adina because he always wanted to look pretty.
* DistressedDude[=/=]DamselScrappy: In-universe with the latter one, at least.
** Exploited when he gets treats out of Noah by saying that that's what previous kidnappers did.
* KidAppealCharacter
* TheLoad: It varies.
* LonelyRichKid: Seto won't let him have friends as they tend to get kidnapped.
* NapoleonDelusion: Believed himself to be a Pokémon in Episode 28.
* PhraseCatcher: "Shut up, Mokuba."
** "[[NoYou No, YOU]] [[TheDogBitesBack shut up!]] ...Oh my God, I'm so sorry."
!!Duke Devlin
Resident ladies' man. Duke was initially unaware of the fact that he has his own theme music, which plays constantly as he speaks. It's implied he could go [[BiTheWay both ways]].
* AnythingThatMoves: Although he prefers the ladies, he's not above being anally-probed by aliens.
* {{Bishonen}}: He's very pretty.
* ButtMonkey: A lesser example; his Dungeon Dice Monsters game is frequently addressed as being "exactly like Duel Monsters".
* DefeatMeansFriendship
* DudeShesLikeInAComa: "Want to know the best thing about unconscious chicks? They can't say no." ''[everyone looks at him]'' "What? Oh, yeah, like I'm the only one thinking it!"
* EvenTheGuysWantHim
** [[UpToEleven Even Male Disembodied Voices Want Him.]]
* [[GreenEyes Gorgeous Green Eyes]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: The number of times his theme song (Sexyback by JustinTimberlake) ''doesn't'' play while he speaks is only in the single digits.
* OnlySaneMan: He has his moments.
* SurferDude: Dabbles in it a little.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Does this from time to time.
* WhatBeautifulEyes
!!Solomon Muto / Grandpa
Yugi's grandfather. A simple shopkeeper and stereotypical, senile grandpa with a death wish and some incredibly quirky... habits. Best not to pry into it: you will come back mentally scarred.
* BasementDweller: According to Yugi.
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: Interspersed throughout his [[RamblingOldManMonologue rant]] at the end of the movie.
--> "You kids these days and your Millennium Items, and your card games, and your loud music and your hula hoops and your hopscotch and your dungarees and your lollipops and your Sony Playstations and your voice-activated light switches and your leather pants and your artificial insemination-- (cut off by Yugi, then continues after the credits roll) --your Blu-Ray Discs and your pierced scrotums..."
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
-->"Where am I? What day is it? I like pudding!"
* DeathSeeker: "[[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue Grandpa had a heart attack at the age of 87... To his dismay, he survived.]]"
-->"I'm checking the obituaries to see if I've died yet!"
** [[spoiler: He gets his wish in ''Bonds Beyond Time Abridged''.]]
* DirtyOldMan
* [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep Everyone Calls Him Grandpa]]: Or Gramps. In fact, Yugi didn't even know he ''had'' a name until Rebecca brought it up.
* GrumpyOldMan
* PerverseSexualLust: InUniverse: He has a not-so-secret love affair with his Black Luster Soldier poster.
* WhenIWasYourAge
-->"You know, in my day, we didn't have Duel-Domes. We had to play our card games out on the street, and our cards weren't even real cards. They were just rocks we picked up off the ground, and then we threw them at each other. Come to think of it, it wasn't really card games at all. We just liked to throw rocks at each other. Mostly at me. That's probably why I have so much self-loathing. Anyway, we should probably go over there."
!!Mai Valentine[[spoiler: and Her Breasts]]
* BigBreastsBigDeal: Of the type 4 variety.
* CatchPhrase: Often refers to herself as "My breasts".
* CrossdressingVoices
* FauxActionGirl[=/=]InformedAbility: Despite some rather valiant efforts, she's lost every single duel she's participated in on-screen (except the one with Jean-Claude Magnum, which was {{Filler}}) and has had to be physically saved from danger by Joey on more than one occasion.
** Considering that she made the finals in both seasons she must have some skill... but her victories appear to be offscreen deals.
* GagBoobs: Everyone thinks her breasts are fake.
* IHaveBoobsYouMustObey
* IronicHell: After losing to him, Melvin sends her to a dimension where everyone's breasts are bigger than hers (''[[EspeciallyZoidberg especially]]'' [[EspeciallyZoidberg Tristan's]]).
* MsFanservice: Her whole shtick.
* OfCorsetsSexy
* PunnyName
* ReallyGetsAround: Probably not true, but everyone else thinks so.
* WeaknessTurnsHerOn: "I just love broken men."
!!Ishizu Ishtar
* BecauseDestinySaysSo
* BreakingTheFourthWall: Her necklace's power... which would be impressive if all the major characters ''couldn't'' do the same thing.
* [[CallingTheOldManOut Calling The Big Sister Out]]: Yugi flat out says she and her whole family is responsible for Marik's StartOfDarkness and that [[BigScrewedUpFamily they're all batshit crazy]].
* CatchPhrase: "Because shut up," and "You know the one."
* CrossdressingVoices
* OnlySaneWoman: Probably the closest this series gets to sanity, anyway.
!!Serenity Wheeler
* AllGirlsLikePonies: She opens a door promising ponies, only to find a fire-breathing hellhound. She shuts the door, but opens it thirty seconds later after being promised a pony again. Her theme music [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic also features this.]]
* CrossdressingVoices
* IllGirl: Until her eyesight comes back.
* [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nice Job Breaking It, Heroine!]]: [[spoiler: She was responsible for the death of Noah by running him down, leading to the Virtual World/Cancelled Series arc.]]
* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Girl]]
* SatelliteCharacter: Lampshaded during the season three premiere:
-->"What purpose does my character even serve at this point?"
* VocalDissonance: PlayedForLaughs. While Téa sounds like a high-pitched male and Mai sounds like a drag queen, Serenity has the honor of sounding like a Muppet.
** It apparently runs in the family: her mother sounds like [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers Doctor Girlfriend]].
* YoungerThanTheyLook: You wouldn't know from looking at her, but she's 12.

[[folder: Major Villains]]
!!Maximillion Pegasus
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/0000qhs6_8629.jpg
CEO and founder of Industrial Illusions and creator of the children's card game Duel Monsters. When his wife-to-be inexplicably exploded at the altar, he went to Egypt and received the Millennium Eye from Shadi. He hides his sorrows and true intentions behind a gay facade. And we mean that literally. He used the first tournament to gather souls to bring back Cecelia, but lost to Yugi. After releasing the people he turned into trading cards he was killed by Yami Bakura... temporarily. Surgery has made broad advances, and Pegasus is back and more fabulous than ever before.
----
* AffablyEvil
* AntiVillain
* BigBad: Season 1.
* CampStraight
** [[ArmoredClosetGay Armored Closet Straight]]: When several of the characters find out he's straight, he tries to kill them to keep it a secret.
* CasualDangerDialogue: In the Abridged movie after being told that they're about fly into a massive storm, he calmly suggests simply turning around. When he's told that the pilot only knows how to fly forward, he just tells him to turn the radio up.
* CatchPhrase: Mentions many things as being "fabulous" (or ''un''fabulous)
* ComplexityAddiction: As Yami points out in episode 18:
-->'''Pegasus:''' Excellent. Soon, my evil plan to steal an object from a small child will be complete!.\\
'''Yami:''' You mean you arranged this whole tournament just to steal my Millennium Puzzle?\\
'''Pegasus:''' Exactly.\\
'''Yami:''' [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot Did you even consider just asking me for it?]] I mean, do you have ''any'' idea how much time and money you've wasted with this whole facade? PEOPLE HAVE DIED BECAUSE YOU WANTED A NECKLACE! '''I KILLED A GAY CLOWN, FOR RA'S SAKE!'''\\
'''Pegasus:''' Look, are you going to play a children's card game with me or not?\\
'''Yami:''' I suppose I might as well.
* [[spoiler: DisneyDeath: In ''Bonds Beyond Time Abridged'']]
* EveryoneCanSeeIt: In ''Marik's Evil Council'' 5, after hearing Marik and Bakura arguing upon a new and ridiculous plan, Pegasus said that they are ''so gay'' for each other. [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday Marik]] and [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend Bakura]] were not amused.
* EyeScream: PlayedForLaughs.
-->"That's the wrong eyeball, you fool!"
* HarmlessVillain: And how!
* {{Lolicon}}: The implication that Pegasus may be attracted to children is repeatedly PlayedForLaughs.
-->"Well, hello little girl, would you like to see my Funny Bunny?"
* TheLostLenore: His [[InconsistentDub wife/fiancee]], Cecelia.
* {{Necromantic}}: Like in the original his goal is to bring his dead wife back to life.
** This gets taken to its logical extreme in ''Evil Council 4''. With the help of Rebecca's satanic teddy bear, Cecelia is brought back to life...[[CameBackWrong as a zombie]].
* PutOnABus: For the main series as he doesn't appear again until season 4; he's made appearances in specials and Bonds Beyond Time though.
* SissyVillain: Hoo boy. And you thought the ''original'' was eccentric enough.
--> Wohoohoohoo. If I weren't so very camp I'd probably make a credible villain.
* [[spoiler: UnexplainedRecovery: About a few minutes after his death, it is hilariously [[RetCon retconned]] when all 3 protagonists go back in time even further.]]
* WordOfGay: Inverted. [[WordOfGod Bakura's gaydar was pointing to Croquet]].
!!Yami Bakura / Florence
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/YamiBakura_3884.jpg
The spirit within the Millennium Ring. Yami Bakura, whose name is actually [[GenderBlenderName Florence]], is the definition of evil: [[FauxAffablyEvil sadistic, sarcastic,]] [[UpToEleven and British beyond belief]]. It is because of this, however, that he has a legion of fangirls at his beck and call. His ultimate goal is to take the Pharaoh's screentime. After attempting to do so in Duelist Kingdom and failing miserably, he took Pegasus' Millennium Eye and (seemingly) killed him. He then lay dormant until Marik's arrival, where he struck a deal to assist him in his cause, since they shared similar agendas.
[[spoiler: After Melvin assumed direct control of Marik's body, he [[EvenEvilHasStandards outed him as a spy for 4Kids]] and challenged him. He lost and died, but it is heavily implied that his fangirls have more power than expected...]]
----
* AllLoveIsUnrequited: He seems to harbour strong feelings of lust or possibly love towards Marik, but Marik is either completely oblivious or just interested in Bakura as an accomplice.
* AntiHero: Type V
* AscendedFanon: His name, Florence, was a joke used in Season 1 where he said his parents wanted to call him that. Eventually Little Kuriboh decided to run with it.
* AxCrazy: He likes knives; they make him feel all tingly. He also likes saying the word "Die".
* BigBad: [[LateArrivalSpoiler Of Season 5]]... [[ForegoneConclusion Or, rather, he will be]].
-->"I shall be a main character, even if it takes me another 200 bloody episodes!"
* ByronicHero: In the latter part of season 2 where he goes up against Melvin. (In the end, he's the only one with enough insight to realize what [[BreakingTheFourthWall Melvin's endgame was]].)
* CatchPhrase: "Oh, bugger (me)."
* TheComicallySerious: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oEuFW9rn4Bo Yep.]]
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy
* DeadpanSnarker
* DoggedNiceGuy: Type 2. He neither advertises nor conceals his feelings for Marik, and seems mostly content to remain [[VitriolicBestBuds Vitriolic]] HeterosexualLifePartners.
* TheDragon: To Marik in Season 2. Even when Melvin usurps the role as the BigBad, he still prefers working with his better half. [[note]]''Not'' [[HoYay what I meant]] '''at all'''.[[/note]]
* DudeLooksLikeALady: [[AmbiguouslyGay Not that he's complaining.]]
* EmbarrassingFirstName: Florence, as mentioned above.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He has [[VisionaryVillain evil aspirations]] but there are some things he won't do, for example [[MoralEventHorizon catering to 4kids and cancelling the show]].
** He's also terrified of [[NightmareFuelStationAttendant Melvin]].
* EvilBrit: He's not British, he's just gay.
* FamousLastWords: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-p7k95P7hs For the time being.]] Also doubles as an IronicEcho since it was a phrase uttered by normal Bakura last season.
* FoeRomanceSubtext: With Melvin. Despite being terrified of him, Bakura still has Freudian dreams about hooking up with him.
* FreudianExcuse: The reason for him being evil is rather flimsy (though he was asked about it on the spot by Tristan):
-->"Well, I suppose my parents never loved me enough. They were always dressing me like a girl. Did you know they wanted to call me ''Florence''? Who names a boy Florence?! Idiots, that's who!"
* {{GIRL}}: Implied in Neko Porno charity video and then confirmed later in LK's spinoff fic, [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7417268/1/Midknight_At_The_Oasis Midknight At The Oasis]], that he trolls people regularly and tricks them into ridiculous cybersex situations. According to Marik he's... very descriptive.
* HijackedByGanon: Attempts to usurp the role of BigBad from Melvin with the help of Marik. [[spoiler: Not only does it backfire, it results in the show's cancellation by 4Kids.]]
* HypercompetentSidekick: To Marik in the ''Evil Council'' videos. He's so much more competent that everybody likes and respects him better than Marik. [[spoiler: Until he decided to defect and joined Dartz's evil council.]] And even after that, he's still liked better than Marik.
* IHaveManyNames: Bakura, Spirit of the [Millennium] Ring, Yami Bakura, Florence. This was inevitably lampshaded in episode 40.
* KnightOfCerebus: Played with. While he's just as comical as the other villains, it's usually because he's playing a snarky straight man, not because he's incompetent, stupid or AmbiguouslyGay like the rest. In the Evil Council videos he's also the only one with a genuine interest in killing Yugi, and becomes increasingly frustrated with Marik's FelonyMisdemeanor plans and the fact the council spends more time arguing with each other than actually trying to defeat Yugi.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: ''[[TheSlenderManMythos The Slender Man]]'' was his college roommate. For some reason, he can't remember most of it.
* OddFriendship: With Marik. Although "friendship" may not be the [[VillainTeamUp best]] [[WithFriendsLikeThese descriptive]] [[HoYay term]].
* OnlySaneMan: During the ''Evil Council'' videos.
* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Marik's red.
* SarcasticDevotee: Towards Marik.
* [[spoiler: ScrewThisImOuttaHere]]: In ''Marik's Evil Council'' 5 [[spoiler: he finally decided to leave Marik's council in favor of Dartz's.]] Besides, [[spoiler: Dartz]] is willing to pay him ''actual money'' and let him do at least one evil thing a month.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: He and Marik join forces to get more screen time than Yugi and Yami.
* StraightGay: To contrast Marik.
* SurroundedByIdiots
* TalkToTheFist: [[DangerouslyGenreSavvy He shoots Zombie Boy mid-rant]] with an [[ContinuityNod Invisible Gun]].
--> "It's the only way to kill an overacting zombie!"
* {{Tsundere}}: In a spinoff yaoi fanfic that LittleKuriboh wrote for charity purposes, Florence is almost constantly fantasizing about Marik, but hates him too much to consider trying to take their [[WithFriendsLikeThese friendship]] to the next level.
* [[WhoNamesTheirKidDude Who Names Their Son Florence?]]: Idiots, apparently.
* WhoWantsToLiveForever: According to Marik in his LetsPlay of VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines, Bakura is immortal and thinks it's rather overrated.
* [[spoiler:YankTheDogsChain: In the Evil Council 4, Melvin (and by extension, Marik) declared him his boyfriend, Zork & Pals gained another season and his name is declared the manliest name ever...all went down in flames when it turns out it was AllJustADream.]]
!!Marik Sebastian Ishtar III
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/marik_1774.jpg
Marik is the successor to the tomb keepers of the Pharaoh and the leader of the Rare Hunters. Like Yami Bakura, he wants to take the Pharaoh's screentime, and so he sends his minions into the Battle City tournament to destroy Yugi a little (not kill, destroy). He possesses the Millennium Rod, which allows the user to brainwash anyone with "Steve" or any variation thereof in their name.
[[spoiler: When he was young, Marik yearned for a life better than one spent underground, so he snuck out with Ishizu to the outside world. That one happy moment, however, didn't last. His abusive father Hank found out and assaulted his adoptive brother Odion into submission. On that day, his alternate personality Melvin surfaced, and killed his father in cold blood. When Shadi appeared, Marik made himself believe the Pharaoh was responsible. Currently he, or rather his personality, is sealed away.]]
Marik ''wants'' to be an evil villain, bless his heart, but his evil plans usually end up just being annoying. Every year or so, he and Bakura get together somewhere in Egypt (or once, in Michigan) with Marik's evil council, consisting of all of the other villains in the series (except Dartz and his henchmen). They have yet to accomplish anything.
In addition to villainy, belly shirts, and classic rock, Marik also enjoys PC gaming. See ''LetsPlay/MarikPlaysBloodlines'' for his LetsPlay of ''VideoGame/VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines''.
----
* BadBoss: Hell, he even treats his stepbrother Odion like crap.
* BigBad: Season 2, until episode 42.
* CampGay: Well [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday if he were gay]], he'd be this.
* CatchPhrase: "[[YouFool Foolish fools!]]"
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj6F_piB_HE Oh, yes.]]
** His "evil plans" involve rearranging Yugi's sock drawer and trolling his Youtube account by spamming the comment section on his channel, and accents them with lines roughly following "Yugi will be so [insert negative mood or the word "ruined"] that he'll ''have'' to give us his puzzle!"
* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: In order to become a tombkeeper, Marik had his back carved with a knife... [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and was forced to watch]] ''[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Beverly Hills Chihuahua]]''.
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: Marik's phrases after discovering [[spoiler: Bakura is leaving for Dartz's council and that he was meeting with him for weeks]] sounds more like a [[YourCheatingHeart break up for cheating]].
** Another jewel:
-->'''Marik:''' Remember [Bakura] when we all got together in the desert to play baseball? [[DoubleEntendre I was the pitcher, you were the catcher...]]
-->'''Pegasus:''': [[LampshadeHanging I'm not even going to comment on that one]].
* DudeLooksLikeALady: Make-up and all.
--> '''Yami:''' Why wouldn't I hate women? I mean, they hate me. That Marik chick is always saying how much she despises me.
--> '''Joey:''' Guh, Yug, I don't know how to tell you this, but...Marik's a guy.
--> '''Yami:''' What!? That's crazy! But look at the way she dress!
* EffeminateMisogynisticGuy: Marik loudly proclaims himself the most effeminate guy around, and generally disdains women and believes that Yu-Gi-Oh ''has'' no women. Of course, given the women's characterization...
* HarmlessVillain: Played straight or subverted depending on whether he's carrying the IdiotBall. Generally he's the most ineffective villain around, no matter what he does.
* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: "I AM ONE-HUNDRED-PERCENT STRAIGHT!"
* HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood: He was forced to watch Disney movies as a child and his father was insane.
* {{Hipster}}: ''"It's me, Marik Ishtar! And for the record, I was possessing this girl way before it was cool.''
* [[spoiler:IfItsYouItsOkay]]: In the spinoff fanfic [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6954805/1/ Marik & Bakura Go To Censored Town]], [[spoiler:this is how Marik feels about Florence.]] Not that we hadn't guessed.
--> '''Marik''': [[spoiler:I mean, you know that I'm only gay for you! I'm very comfortable with my gayness where you're concerned. [[HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday But as far as anyone else goes, totally hetero]]!]]
** In his own little Spinoff show, LetsPlay/MarikPlaysBloodlines , Marik openly [[spoiler: comes out of the closet]], even if it's only in response to a rather terrifying Mel Gibson. See it [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DiqAByzgV4&t=11m35s here]].
--> '''Marik''': [[spoiler: I admit it! I'm gay, I'm gay! I like men, and I like men's bottoms, and I have a whole folder on my computer filled with Thief Shipping[[hottip:*:Bakura/Marik]] pictures!]]
* ImaginaryFriend: Melvin, who later materialized as a SplitPersonality.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: His evil plans are as harmless as they are poorly thought out.
* LargeHam: He essentially channels the voice and acting abilities of both [[WesternAnimation/HeManAndTheMastersOfTheUniverse Skeletor]] ''and'' [[WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers the Monarch]].
* LateToThePunchline: Episode 46, after the previous episode when Melvin made a joke about Bakura wanting Marik inside him.
-->"[[BrickJoke OH, I get it!]] [[DontExplainTheJoke He was implying that you wanted me to sleep with you!]] That is pretty funny. After all, I'm way out of your league."
* LaughablyEvil
* MisappliedPhlebotinum: For having an all powerful ancient Egyptian artifact that can control minds and warp the fabric of reality, he really [[CutLexLuthorACheck doesn't do much with it.]]
** "Marik, have you been using your Millenium Item as a bong again?"
** Justified in that it can only control people named "Steve".
* MoralityPet: A bird he named Mr. Tweetums.
** In a way, Bakura and Odion.
* ObviouslyEvil: Hilariously played with. He's only obviously evil to the audience, as none of the protagonists seem to notice it, even when he BLATANTLY declares his evilness in front of them.
--> '''Joey''' (''thinking''): ''I still think there's something fishy about this guy...''
--> '''Marik''': DESTROY YOU ALL!
--> '''Joey''' (''thinking''): ''Man, if I could put my finger on it.''
* PokeThePoodle: Most of his "eeeeee-vil plans" end up as this.
-->"We are going to sneak into Yugi's house under cover of darkness, and [[FelonyMisdemeanor rearrange his sock drawer]]! His entire collection of socks shall be thrown into disarray! His world will be plunged into chaos! Sock-related chaos!
* PsychopathicManchild: LittleKuriboh says in a few interviews that Marik is essentially a combination of his inner child and himself at 14. [[CardCarryingVillain Except evil.]]
* RedOniBlueOni: The red to Bakura's blue.
* SilenceYouFool: Goes a step further by "silencing the silence" at one point.
* SoundEffectBleep: When uttering the F-word, [[PerfectHairForever a voice belching "EFF!!" is used in place of a regular beep]].
** This trait has since been taken by Dartz, as Marik's character had evolved far beyond what LK had originally intended.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: His motive as opposed to killing the Pharaoh in the original show. Eventually works with Bakura to do so.
* [[StepThreeProfit Step Two: Profit]]: He as a vaguely evil plan that will supposedly allow him to destroy the Pharoah. However, his plan seems to be 1) Beat the pharaoh at a children's card game, 3) Destroy him. No one is quite sure what step 2 is supposed to be. Not even Marik.
* SueDonym: Uses "Malik Blishtar" as an alias.
* TransparentCloset: Mocked frequently for it.
* VillainProtagonist: For the eponymous ''[[SpinOff [Marik's] Evil Council]]'' videos.
* VillainSong: ''Leather Pants'' (with Bakura)
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Comes ''very'' close to this. His evil alter-ego and messed up attitude towards life in general wouldn't even exist if not for his father's horrific abuse, and CharacterDevelopment has shown he's really, desperately lonely....
* [[YaoiFangirl Yaoi Fanboy]]
-->"This isn't like my scriptures at all! I mean, what is that guy doing to that other guy? I don't know what it is, but it gives me cravings!"
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: His M.O. throughout the first half of season 2.
!!Yami Marik / Melvin
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Yami_Marik_8267.jpg
The current antagonist (once again), and Marik's alter-ego-slash-imaginary friend. When Odion was struck by Ra's divine wrath, the mental seals on Melvin weakened, and he resurfaced. Unlike Marik, Melvin has absolutely no compunctions about committing more... ''grotesque'' atrocities. But can you blame him? All he really wants is a hug. By "a hug" we mean "to stab you with a chainsaw or any other weapon on hand".
He is revealed to be a spy for 4Kids, sent to get the show cancelled. Bakura duels him to try and save the show, but is defeated. Melvin thus destroys the FourthWall and the show is destroyed. However, boredom slowly starts to set in during ''The Canceled Series'' due to him becoming a sub-character, and he goes on another destruction spree that inadvertently gets the show UnCanceled. With his former employers now dead, Melvin is now once again the main villain.
----
* ArchEnemy: The code-locked door became his.
* AxCrazy: Just a warning--"Could I have a hug?" translates to "I'm going to take a chainsaw to you".
* BewareTheSillyOnes: He's just this side of Pegasus for one of the silliest, hammiest, most ridiculous villains of the show, but he's arguably even more dangerous than his canon counterpart, since [[spoiler:he helped get the show itself cancelled]].
* BigBad: For the second half both of Season 2 and season 3.
* CatchPhrase:
** "Mind Slave" and "Binky Boy", the former not used as often and the latter coming from his dad.
** "Could I get a hug?" and variations of such.
** "Kill your family! Kill your family!" from the "Kill Your Family Show".
* ChainsawGood: "Ahhh, now that was a ''good'' hug!"
** And then there's ''Evil Council 4''.
* ComedicSociopathy: Most of his antics. And the whole hugging deal.
* DeadlyHug: He makes it an art form.
* EarlyBirdCameo: Appeared in a ChristmasSpecial, had his own musical number, ''and'' eviscerated ''Film/XMenOriginsWolverine'' all before his proper appearance in series.
* EnemyWithout
* EvilerThanThou: To both Marik and Florence.
* EvilTastesGood
-->'''Melvin:''' I've been OMNOMNOM-ing on his soul for ten years and I happen to like the taste!
* FauxAffablyEvil: He almost seems childish in how he acts, but he frequently sprinkles in random threats of violence in his speech.
* ForTheEvulz
-->'''Yugi:''' Ask yourself: what would killing me accomplish?\\
'''Melvin:''' Other than making me laugh like a maniac, not much. But it's enough.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: Hank Ishtar, [[JerkassVictim who really deserved it]].
* KnifeNut: His Millennium Rod holds a knife [[BlatantLies which he uses to give great big hugs]].
** LaserBlade: Sometimes the knife is a [[StarWars light]][[LaserBlade saber]].
* KnightOfCerebus: Parodied. He's just as AxCrazy and insane as his original counterpart, the other characters are terrified of him, and he ''does'' manages to be the most effective and dangerous villain yet [[spoiler:when he gets the show cancelled at the end of Season 2]]. But all his antics are PlayedForLaughs, and he's so ridiculously over the top and silly that he's hard to take as a serious threat. Think [[SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker The Joker]], but with even more LaughablyEvil.
* LaughingMad
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLcznIOCldo His theme music from the dub]].
* TheMole: He's a [[spoiler:4Kids employee]].
* MoralEventHorizon: Parodied in-universe. When reveals that ''he'' is the one who [[spoiler:suspended TeamFourStar]], nobody seems to think it's as big a deal as he makes out. In fact, Tristan has ''no idea'' who they are.
* MoralityPet: Mr. Tweetums, [[LaserGuidedAmnesia until he forgets him in a Shadow Game with Mai]].
* TheNicknamer: Frequently refers to Mai as "Whore Biscuit", as well as Yami Bakura with his real name.
** And now he calls Joey "Susan".
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Lampshaded in Marik's Evil Council 4, where even ''Florence'' is terrified of him.
* OmnicidalManiac:
--> Hear that, Florence? That's the sound of the FourthWall... ''collapsing.''
* OutOfFocus: ''The Cancelled Series''. The only screentime he's had involves his misadventures of trying to find something to do. [[spoiler: Once he uses 10,002 passwords to get through the so-known "bitchy door", he ends up screwing Noah over by breaking his missile control panel and gets the video feed to show an episode of the "Kill Your Family" show.]]
* PsychoForHire: Once we find out he's working for someone. [[spoiler:But all he cares about is destruction, and at the end of Season 3 he destroys 4Kids by hijacking Noah's self-destruct system.]]
* PsychopathicManchild: Even more so than Marik.
-->''"I am henceforth known as the ruler of all doors! Every single door shall bow before me and open at my command! [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil I am the Master of Unlocking!]]"''
* ShowWithinAShow: The "Kill your Family" show, which may or may not be all in regular Marik's head (it's implied that it isn't). It appears to be nothing but Melvin telling viewers to ''"Kill your family!" over and over and over again. Spawned a couple of Website/{{Youtube}} adaptations, which stretches it out for several minutes.
* [[SplitPersonalityTakeover Imaginary Friend Takeover]]
** HostileShowTakeover: He even replaces Marik in ''Evil Council 4'' as the leader. [[spoiler:[[AllJustADream But not really.]]]]
*** Done again, but more literally for [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3J4X5_AU6o&feature=plcp Marik's Bloodlines LP.]]
* TomTheDarkLord: You wouldn't expect an AxeCrazy OmnicidalManiac to be named "Melvin".
* VillainSong: ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF8-FF_V8wQ Villain]]''.
* VoiceOfTheLegion: Perhaps his most immediately recognizable trait.
!!Noah Kaiba
The biological son of Seto's and Mokuba's adoptive father Gozaburo, and CEO of 4Kids. In league with the Big Five to attempt to take down the show for good. Certifiable nutjob who wants revenge against Kaiba for stealing his life. Noah lived (somewhat) happily with Gozaburo until he was killed in a car accident. What remained of his mind was uploaded to the internet. [[spoiler: Unbeknownst to him, Joey and Serenity are indirectly responsible for his death. Serenity, as it turns out, was the one who ran him over while learning how to drive.]]
[[spoiler: Regains his sanity -- or something -- upon hijacking Mokuba's body and returning with it to the real world. Then returns to the Internet to save the main characters, and destroy Gozaburo and himself.]]
Voiced by Kirbopher.
* AffablyEvil
* AmbiguouslyGay[=/=][[AmbiguouslyBi Bi]]: Seems to like molesting Mokuba. Whereas it's intentional or not is not quite clear.
** Noah could have already evolved into a MemeticMolester since in Episode 55 he went from molesting Mokuba to disturbingly trying to steal Yugi's body.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: He's the CEO of 4Kids. Clearly takes after his old man.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "Soon you will be face to face with the truth. The truth that I am truly the true successor to the Kaiba Corporation. The true-ness of it will be truly truthful."
* TheDragon: For ''The Cancelled Series''.
* EnfantTerrible
* EvilLaugh: Whenever the plan's going his way, he does this.
* {{Expy}}:
-->'''Seto:''' "Who are you? And why do you look like me from Season 0?"
-->'''Tristan:''' "Oooooo... the forbidden season...."
* FillerVillain: His original role, but subverted here seeing as [[spoiler:Melvin was actually ''working for him.'']]
* [[spoiler: HeelFaceTurn]]
** [[spoiler: MyGodWhatHaveIDone]]: It took him just 3 seconds to realize.
* HeyItsThatVoice: Kirbopher.
* IronicNurseryTune: Gives us particularly chilling renditions of "Hush Little Baby" and "Happy Birthday". Along with his disturbing evil smirk, a sign that he can be a genuinely creepy villain.
* LaughingMad: Egregiously so. But then again, who wouldn't GoMadFromTheIsolation?
* {{Leitmotif}}: His theme from the dub normally, same as Melvin. In Episode 55 he gets a new one while revealing his sob story: [[GearsOfWar Mad World]].
* NotSoDifferent:
-->'''Seto and Noah:''' "Shut up, Mokuba!"
--> {{Beat}}
-->'''Seto:''' "That was weird."
* {{Yandere}}: For Mokuba, it seems.
* YouHaveFailedMe: Banishes Team 4kids to the darkest corners of the internet.
!!Gozaburo Kaiba
Former CEO of Kaiba Corporation. Considers anyone beneath him a "small person" and will occasionally poke fun at their misfortune. Do not enrage him if you value your ears. Was fired by Seto and Mokuba and committed suicide in disgrace.
[[spoiler: Not really. Just like in the source material he faked his death and actually inserted himself into the Virtual World in order to manipulate [=KaibaCorp=] from behind the scenes. At any rate his plan backfired and he was killed by his biological son Noah.]]
Voiced by Antfish of Creator/TeamFourStar.
* AbusiveParent: "[[ShoutOut Whip [Kaiba] 'til his name's]] [[{{Roots}} Toby]]".
** Incredibly, he actually treated Noah ''worse''.
* {{Angrish}}: "SHUTYOURMOUTHYOULITTLEINGRATE!"
* BadBoss: As Hobson can testify.
* BigBad: For ''The Cancelled Series''
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Especially obvious with his "Orphanland" bit. He also refuses to call people with less money than him by their names; He just calls them "small person".
** Not to mention he chooses to spend his money on "weapons of mass destruction that'll threaten the stability of world peace" over virtual holograms for children's card games.
* FillerVillain: A subversion seeing as he's TheManBehindTheMan for Noah, who was TheManBehindTheMan for Melvin.
* HeyItsThatVoice: [[JojosBizarreAdventureAbridged Antfish]].
* {{Jerkass}}
* LaughablyEvil: A bastard, yes. But thanks to Antfish's presentation, he's utterly hilarious.
* MoodSwinger: He seems to be nice, but also seems to go in fits of rage as he chewed off an employee's ear off-screen.
* TooDumbToLive: At least when it comes to chess.

[[caption-width-right:350:Den keep you mouf shut, mayan! Okay, mayan? Yeah.]]
The former king of Atlantis and presumed BigBad of the upcoming Season 4. Dartz hasn't appeared in the actual series yet, but is biding his time by gathering his own cabal of villains to counter Marik's evil council; both have yet to accomplish anything.
Voiced by [=Takahata101=] of Creator/TeamFourStar.
* AccentAdaptation: Unlike Bakura, this character's accent wasn't in the original dub.
* BerserkButton: Never insinuate you like tacos better than pizza.
* BigBad: Of the "Marik's Evil Council videos" and presumably of season 4.
* CaptainErsatz: [[PerfectHairForever Coifio]].
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: The first two ''Marik's Evil Council'' specials portrayed him as a rather serious villain, SurroundedByIdiots. Since the third ''Evil Council'', his personality was radically altered. Additionally, his henchmen have all become far less idiotic and are now disturbed by his poorly pronounced schemes.
* DeepSouth: He's got what sounds like the world's thickest Cajun accent, and apparently spent a lot of time in Abalamya. Er--Alabama.
* EarlyBirdCameo: He and his gang of motorcycle riding henchmen have a subplot in all of the ''Marik's Evil Council'' videos to date. We still have a ways to go before his in-series debut.
* ElmuhFuddSyndwome[=/=]PorkyPigPronunciation: He owften has twouble pwonun-unciati-- anan-on-ci-- anonymous... sayin' words in da way they s'posed t' be said, mayan.
* FillerVillain: And pretty much counts as this for the Evil Council videos, too.
* HeyItsThatVoice: [=Takahata101=], from ''Evil Council 3'' onward.
** More likely than not due to the fact that LK's original voice sounded kind of like Yami Yugi with a lighter accent.
* HypocriticalHumor: Doesn't seem to notice his own speech impediment.
--> "You gotta learn to e-nun-ci-ate, mayn. Speak plain English. It's a matter of coowates--cour--courageo--it's good manners, mayn!"
* IncomingHam: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT9KbJrq0Zw Big time.]]
* KaleidoscopeHair: His hair changes color every time the scene cuts to him.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Judas Priest's ''Hellion'' plays just before any scenes with him.
* TheOtherDarrin: Originally voiced by LittleKuriboh and had a voice not unlike Yami Yugi's; now voiced by [=Takahata101=] with a voice like [[PerfectHairForever Coifio]].
* SoundEffectBleep: Has the same '''[EFF!]''' sound effect for the f-word as Marik had before; makes sense since he's based on a character from the same show the concept was used in.
* VerbalTic: He got one, mayan.

** YouWillBeSpared: [[WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue ...But then he realized Disney World was too much fun. So he destroyed Euro-Disney instead.]]
!!Anubis
Some random villain with generic motives no one gives a damn about.
* AndThenWhat: [[LampshadedTrope Asked]] by Yami; Anubis can't think of a reason.
* BigBad: TheMovie
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: "You're going to die, and then you'll be dead. Because '''I killed you!'''"

* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Again, Yami calls him out for this.
* StupidEvil
!!Paradox
Basically the same as Anubis, but [[RunningGag IN 3D!!]]
* AntiVillain[=/=]WellIntentionedExtremist: Deconstructed, he tells the heroes he's travelled back in time to avert a future where card games destroy the world, but as noted below, his ObviouslyEvil character traits kinda override his benevolent intentions.
* BigBad: Of the anniversary movie.
* CaptainErsatz: Of [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory Mandark]].
* CatchPhrase: Pwotagonists!
* DesignatedHero: [[invoked]] Views himself as this.
-->'''[[Anime/YugiohGX Jaden]]:''' [[DumbassHasAPoint Then why are you riding around in a motorcycle, wearing an evil mask, stealing peoples cards and laughing like a maniac?]] [[LampshadeHanging Does that sound like a hero?]]

!!The Steves
Marik'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 Luna, 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).
* CaptainErsatz: Steve Lumis and Steve Umbra are parodies of [[WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce Ignignot and Err]].
* EnemyMime: [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Guess which Steve]]?
* GenreSavvy: Steve Arcana knows his movies.
* GirlOnGirlIsHot: Steve Luna 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.
* OneSteveLimit: [[DefiedTrope Defied]].
* ShoutOut: Steve the Rare Hunter's voice [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes is reminiscent of a certain martian]].
!!Odion
* AntiVillain
* BaldOfEvil
* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas
* GentleGiant: Closest thing to a ScaryBlackMan the show has; literally ''worships'' the GummiBears.
* MinionWithAnFInEvil
* MoralityChain: For Marik; without him, Melvin is able to roam free.
* [[ScaryBlackMan Scary Egyptian Man]]
* TheStoic: Humorously so, given the kinds of subjects he talks about (like GummiBears.)
* TheUnfavorite
* VocalDissonance: Has the same deep, gravelly voice as a baby.
* WellDoneSonGuy: Tries to please [[{{Jerkass}} his father]], which obviously doesn't work.
* YesMan: Lampshaded.
!!Hank Ishtar
* AbusiveParent
* AerithAndBob: Marik, Odion, and Ishizu, the children of Hank and Veronica Ishtar.
* AssholeVictim
* CatchPhrase: "Binky boy!"
** Apparently it runs in the family.
* FunetikAksent[=/=]WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: Sounds somewhat Italian-ish and... we don't know.
** "It was a long taym agoe, een a galuxy FAR, FAR HAWAII..."
** I believe it's Egyptian-Scottish-Italian-British-American-Czechoslovakian-Plutonian...uh...Ishtarian.
* HypocriticalHumor:
** "The finest human being in the world", [[AbusiveParent my ass]].
** 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.
* {{Jerkass}}: Of the highest caliber.
* SmallNameBigEgo
* WhipItGood: "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!"
!!Team 4Kids / The Big Five
A 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.
Voiced by members of Creator/TeamFourStar: [=MasakoX=] as Nesbitt, Creator/{{hbi2k}} as Gansley, Creator/{{Lanipator}} as Lecter, [=KaiserNeko=] as Johnson, and [=Takahata101=] as Krump.
* AffectionateParody: Of [[FourKids 4Kids Entertainment]] and TeamFourStar.
* BadassCreed: During their proper introduction.
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: "Death by drowning!" "Death by robot!" "Death by justice!" "Death by bad publicity!" "Death by penguins!"
** The actual "Unusual" one there, arguably, could be "death by bad publicity" if you have seen the actual series.
*** Until Lecter actually appears, where it is revealed his job is [[CulturalTranslation localization]], and his deck master Jinzo can destroy internet memes.
* DirtyOldMan: Crump.
* EagleLand: Lector, type two.
-->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.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: The other four of the Big Five admit that they don't want Tea's body due to not wanting "Crump's sloppy seconds".
** Not even Crump himself wants Tea's body again.
** Though that may be because [[spoiler: Marik would just kick him out again.]]
* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]] with Crump.
* FateWorseThanDeath: Each member is sent to the darkest, most vile parts of the internet. In some cases it's subverted, though.
** Gansley gets sent to Megaupload. [[spoiler: Since the site was taken down by the FBI, this means that he actually dies.]]
** Johnson gets sent to The Dangerous Box.
** Nesbitt winds up on ChatRoulette, where he has an encounter with [[NarutoTheAbridgedSeries Naruto]]. He claims he's a robot when he's seen using his human form.
** Lector ends up on Fanfiction.net. Let's just say he gets royally [[MindScrew Mind Screwed]].
** The only one who seems genuinely happy about his fate is Crump, because he gets sent to [[{{Imageboards}} 4chan]] and spams the board with penguins. [[spoiler: The sudden cutoff, however, implies that he gets banned.]]
* FiveBadBand
* GrandTheftMe: Like the show, Nesbitt succeeds in stealing Tristan's body. Unlike the show, [[spoiler:Crump takes over Téa's body and remains in it for a few episodes before Marik kicks him out.]]
* HeyItsThatVoice: Members of TeamFourStar provide their voices.
** {{Hbi2k}}: Gansely. ([[TheOtherDarrin Ganxingba]] for a scene in Season 2)
** [=Takahata101=]: Crump
** [=KaiserNeko=]: Johnson
** [=MasakoX=]: Nesbitt
** {{Lanipator}}: Lector.
* 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 [[http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/50512_182776888417916_3540130_n_9498.jpg the design]] for the main character of ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL''.
* TheOtherDarrin: They were initially voiced by LK, but are each by their own voice actor in ''The Cancelled Series''. See HeyItsThatVoice.
* PhraseCatcher: Nesbitt. After a [[RocketPunch Rocket Powered Fist!]], it's obligatory to say "I stand corrected".
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: For their BadassCreed, they recite [[ShoutOut a variation of]] [[Anime/{{Pokemon}} the original Team Rocket motto.]]
* [[RocketPunch The Rocket Powered Fist!]]: Nesbit loves this trope.
* ScrewedByTheLawyers: Johnson is responsible for the series being taken down twice.
!!Dartz's Motorcycle-Riding Henchmen
* {{Badass Biker}}s
* BiggerIsBetterInBed: Alister, in the Kami-Con 2011 trailer, when he takes Dartz's orders to have Creator/MarianneMiller sign his d?ck to its logical conclusion.
-->'''Marianne Miller:''' How do you even hide that?! Where do you put it?! I-I'm not even angry, anymore. I'm impressed, actually.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn
* CuteButCacophonic: Alister.
* DeadpanSnarker: Raphael after CharacterDevelopment
--> '''Raphael''': Are they [the new members] gonna be lamer than the last one?
--> '''Zombie Boy''': I'm standing right here.
--> '''Raphael''': Sup', lame-o?
* TheDragon: Raphael
* HalfheartedHenchman
* JustFollowingOrders: Or at least what they ''assume'' are Dartz' orders.
* LandDownUnder: Valon.
* [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Men]]: Compared to their boss, anyway.
* PokemonSpeak: Rafael, who said nothing but "[[{{Warcraft}} ZUG ZUG]]" in the first two ''Evil Council'' videos.
** SuddenlyVoiced: After that he normally speaks in a [[DeadpanSnarker slow and droning fashion]]. Dartz [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this.
-->"Mayan, I liked you bettah when you said "zoog zoog". Ya weren't such a little bitch!"
!!Espa Roba (and Brothers)
* CatchPhrase: "Would you like this baby?" and "...but it might make a good coaster for my drink!"
* CircusBrat: They used to work in the circus. Including the baby.
* NoIndoorVoice
* ParentalAbandonment: They have no visible parents. They also keep trying (and failing) to give their youngest sibling away.
* PhonyPsychic
* SiblingTeam
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Minor Characters]]
!!Ryo Bakura
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/1246497319_9413_full_3215.jpeg
The present-time Bakura. Quite effeminate, and very, very British, he tends to get pushed in the background a lot by his evil side, who possesses the Millennium Ring.
----
* CampStraight: He's not gay, he's just British. He even asked Téa if she fancied a shag once.
* TheChewToy: "I say Yugi, can I be in this episod- ''[insert horrible injury here]'' Oh bugger!"
** Oh, double bugger.
*** [[RuleOfThree Oh, buggeration!]]
* DemotedToExtra: Even ''more so'' than in the original series. '''Yami''' Bakura, [[EnsembleDarkhorse on the]] [[SpotlightStealingSquad other hand]]...
* DudeLooksLikeALady: His father installed a gaydar in his Millennium Ring for this reason.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes
* IAmVeryBritish
* LastNameBasis: No one bothered to ask what his first name is (nor do they care when he finally tells them).
* MommasBoy: In episode 16:
-->'''Tristan''': Nobody cares about you want!\\
'''Bakura''':...My mummy does...
* ShipperOnDeck: Debatable, but interestingly enough, every time he has shown up in the creator's spinoff fanfics he's been subtly helping Yami Bakura and Marik together. This despite the fact that he's OutOfFocus most of time because of his dark side. Why he bothers, no one really knows.
!!Weevil Underwood and Rex Raptor
* CaptainErsatz: Of WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead, respectively.
* CatchPhrase: "Come... to Raptor," for Rex.
* CloserToEarth: Rex.
* TheDitz: Weevil
* HehHehYouSaidX
-->'''Rex:''' You said 'region'!
* ThoseTwoGuys
!!Mako Tsunami
* AmusingInjuries: Attempted on Yugi, successfully employed against Grandpa.
* BerserkButton: Being called a Freaky Fish Guy. He eventually comes to accept it, however.
--> "You're not just ''a'' Freaky Fish Guy, you're ''the'' Freaky Fish Guy!"
* BladeOnAStick
* BoisterousBruiser
* CargoShip: [[invoked]] He was married to the Ocean at one point. Then he dated an Aquarium before getting back together with her.
* WalkingShirtlessScene: Lampshaded ([[BetterThanABareBulb Wow, fancy that!]]) by Téa.
-->'''Téa:''' [[CovertPervert I like that he doesn't wear a shirt!]]
!!"Bandit" Keith Steve Howard
* AscendedExtra
* CatchPhrase: [[MemeticMutation In America!]]
* EagleLand[[spoiler:[=/=]CanadaEh]]
* [[spoiler:FakeAmerican: Well, technically Canadians ''are'' North Americans]].
* WearingAFlagOnYourHead
!!Hair Guy (Kemo)
A security guard for Pegasus and (formerly) Kaiba. Has an unspecified acquaintance (possibly his brother) known as the Mullet Guy.
* CatchPhrase: "Attention Duelists!", "My hair is..." usually follows or they're separate.
* CoolShades
* 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 popularity.
* [[spoiler: LukeIAmYourFather: He claims that his hair is Tristan's father.]]
!!Shadi
* CaptainErsatz: Of ''Film/{{Borat}}''.
-->'''Yugi:''' I suppose it could be worse. You could be acting like {{Bruno}}.
* HowDoYouSay
* {{Jerkass}}: "I am, how you say, kind of a dick."
* PoliticallyIncorrectHero: "Man will become like the animal, animal will become like the dirt, and dirt will become like the Jew."
* SpiritAdvisor: Subverted, as he only shows up if absolutely necessary, mostly to screw with people or tell them information that they already know.
!!The Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future
* TheCameo
* FlatEarthAtheist: Parodied. He tries to convince Kaiba that there is no {{God}}. Except, in the ''Yu-Gi-Oh'' world, the Egyptian Gods are ''real''. The fact that he [[EpilepticTrees may or may be part of Kaiba's subconsciousness]], who is himself one of these, may have something to do with it.
* [[spoiler: LukeIAmYourFather: Yep, the whole bit about Frieza was a lie, and he is Kaiba's actual father.]] [[OverlyLongGag Probab]]-[[KilledMidSentence *SHOT*]]
* ShoutOut: Based on- no, the ''exact same character'' from ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce''... [[{{Dissimile}} except that he's voiced by Little Kuriboh now.]]
* SpiritAdvisor: To Kaiba. In theory.
* TalkativeLoon
* UnreliableNarrator: Never trust anything he says. He'll effectively {{Retcon}} it with his next appearance. [[TropesAreNotBad This is, however, precisely what his humour revolves around]].
!!Jaden Yuki
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/AbridgedJaden_829.PNG
The hyperactive protagonist from ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'', who thinks he's black, loves to spontaneously rap, and is highly disliked by other characters.
Voiced by [=ShadyVox=] of ''{{Yu-Gi-Oh GX The Abridged Series}}''.
----
* TheArtifact: Jaden's PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy characterization comes from a one-off joke early in the series where Joey criticized "Yu-Gi-Oh {{DMX}}," complete with an intro set to "X Gon' Give It to Ya." Since then, the show has always been referred to as ''GX'', but Jaden's rapping remains.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: "Jaden's Rap", where he raps explicitly about how he drinks and does drugs, gets laid whenever and with whoever he wants, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking cheats at school]], until he eventually gets tired of Yami's questions and shoots him in the head.
* BoastfulRap: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5oEyFa9XQI Jaden gladly tells Yami why he's so great]].
* BoatLights: [[MemeticMutation Desu]] [[RozenMaiden desu]], [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch bitches]]!
* BreakoutCharacter: The positive reception for Shady's various performances as Jaden has helped make the character very popular in the Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged community.
* ButtMonkey
** TheChewToy: His ButtMonkey status is deliberately, and exaggeratedly, played up in TheMovie, to the point where he'll be called out for saying something unfunny... [[HypocriticalHumor only to have Yami laugh at the exact same gag when Yusei says it]].
* DemonicPossession: Freely and cheerfully admits that his having fused with Yubel probably counts as this.
* HotBlooded
* IdiotHero: By far the most passionate of the three heroes and by far the most prone to making silly mistakes.
* IKnowMortalKombat: Learned Parkour with ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed''.
* InformedFlaw: PlayedForLaughs; characters in-universe hate his rapping, but most fans find his songs catchy and love the sound of [=ShadyVox=]'s voice.
* {{Keet}}: To the point that other characters can't stand him.
--> "And I'm Jaden Yuki, the cute, hyperactive one that people want to choke in his sleep!"
* {{Leitmotif}}: In addition to playing during the aforementioned joke that spawned Jaden's character, "[[{{DMX}} X Gon' Give It to Ya]]" pops up in the Jaden Vs. Yugi video and the 10th Anniversary Abridged Movie trailer.
** George Michael's "Flawless (Go to the City)" is also another one of his {{Leitmotif}}s, spawning the CatchPhrase that he's "ABSOLUTELY☆★FLAWLESS!"
* MarySue: Or so says Yami. [[invoked]]
* MythologyGag: His character is surrounded by references to RunningGags from Shady's original ''YuGiOhGXTheAbridgedSeries'', such as him complaining about [[AmusingInjuries "breaking his coccyx"]] in "Yugi vs. Jaden: BATTLE!" and claiming to be "Absolutely Flawless!" in the Tenth Anniversary Abridged Movie.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: At the end of the movie, [[spoiler:he accidentally spoils the fact that Yami dies in his series, which ends up trapping him, Yami and Yusei in Subspace.]]
--> '''Yami:''' Way to go, Jaden.
* TheOtherDarrin: First appears in the 2006 Christmas Special with Little Kuriboh doing a half-hearted impression of Jaden's dub voice to spout both of his actual catchphrases as part of a ploy to scare Kaiba. The next time he showed up, he was voiced by Shady.
* LeParkour: "It's a good thing I play a lot of ''Franchise/AssassinsCreed''."
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy
* RealMenWearPink: He's been taking ballet for six years.
* TheScrappy: In-universe. Yami and Yusei pretty much despise him and will call him out for even the slightest thing... ''even if it isn't actually bad''. The ''Abridged'' fanbase [[EnsembleDarkhorse seems to think otherwise]], however.
* UnpopularPopularCharacter: Loved out-of-universe, hated in-universe
* WhatTheHellHero: A milder example. When Yugi tries mocking him for having "imaginary friends", his only response is, "[[HypocriticalHumor Oh, right]], ''[[DemonicPossession look who's talking]]''."
!!Yubel
One of Jaden's two "imaginary friends", aka "the demon living in my head" (actually a living spirit residing in the actual card). Voiced by KaijiTang.
!!Lyman Banner
A side character from ''Anime/YuGiOhGX''.
* AsianAndNerdy
* CatchPhrase: "I'm Asian!" and variations thereof.
* [[FlatCharacter Flat]], SatelliteCharacter: He... only really exists to cheer Jaden on and refer to his Asian-ness.
!!Yusei Fudo
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/AbridgedYusei_9612.PNG
The protagonist of ''YuGiOh5Ds''. He's one of the saner characters in the series, despite the fact that he dates his bike, and has an incredibly nice voice.
Voiced by [=TheAzureCrow=].
----
* AnimeHair
* AudioErotica: Deliberately played up it seems. Lampshaded in the movie when he introduces himself to Yugi.
--> "I'm the serious one with a voice that makes the fangirls ''swoon''".
* BerserkButton: Do not call his bike smelly.
* CanadaEh: From the credits of ''Bonds Beyond Time Abridged'', it says "Every time Yusei slips into a Canadian accent, [[DrinkingGame take a drink]]".
-->"Withoot"
* CatchPhrase:
** "I came... to [location]." It'll always get subverted by the end of the video, leading to gems like this:
-->'''Yusei''': "Paradox... I came."
-->'''Paradox''': "What?!"
-->'''Yusei''': "To the past."
-->'''Paradox''': "Oh."
-->'''Yusei''': "[[CrowningMomentOfFunny But I also]] [[JizzedInMyPants had an]] [[UpToEleven orgasm!]]"
** In the movie, "[[HypocriticalHumor What's wrong with his hair?]]"
* ComedicSociopathy: He regards the day Jack Atlas destroyed the city during a mic test as the worst day of his life on the grounds that he couldn't get laid due to everyone being too busy burning to death.
* TheComicallySerious: Very much so.
* CompanionCube[=/=]CargoShip: [[invoked]] His bike is his girlfriend.
** It's explained in the movie. It's because girls are smelly. [[BerserkButton It doesn't go well for Aki when she tries to retaliate]].
* JizzedInMyPants: It happens to be from riding on a motorcycle for long periods of time; go figure.
* TheModestOrgasm: "Jack? I came... again."
* OnlySaneMan
* ThePowerOfFriendship: An honest-to-goodness believer, despite the fact that their antics (Jack and Jaden) and assholery (Yugi) annoy him most of the time.
* StraightMan: To Jack. And Yugi and Jaden to some extent.
!!Jack Atlas
Another main character from ''5Ds''. Likes CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES and has NoIndoorVoice.
* CatchPhrase: CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!
** Later "re-branded" to "DUEL MONSTERS ON D-WHEELS!"
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Thinks Paradox is Waldo of WheresWaldo when Yusei spots him in an old picture.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Yusei, although at one point they're called "Slightly homo life partners".
** '''Jack''': What?
* HypocriticalHumor: Calls Paradox a dick for stealing Yusei's Stardust Dragon card, before admitting "I know I did it in season one, but uh... He's a dick!"
* LargeHam
* NoIndoorVoice: So much so that Jack shouting into a microphone caused a ''giant explosion''.
-->'''Yusei''': The strange part is that the microphone wasn't even plugged in.
* NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent: He's supposed to be Australian. This is parodied by dubbing his voice over a clip from ''Film/CrocodileDundee.''
* SimpletonVoice
!!Yuma Tsukumo
Protagonist of ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL''.
* AnimeHair
* CatchPhrase: EXTREME!!!!!
* NoIndoorVoice
* TotallyRadical
!![[Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos The Slender Man]], aka Jack Slenderman
The Slender Man. Know him. Fear him. Give him $20 or he'll ruin your movie. And possibly eat some kids along the way. Was formerly Bakura's college roommate, and has made several guest appearances in the spinoff videos, though he hasn't appeared in the actual material. [[TheEndOrIsIt Yet.]]
Appeared as [[spoiler: the Third Angel]] in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0GpeXAsIKY LittleKuriboh's Card Games For Charity NGE One-Shot]].
* AffablyEvil
* AttentionWhore
* CanonForeigner
* CatchPhrase: '''''"Hey, Guys!"'''''
* ChildEater
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}
* DidWeJustHaveTeaWithCthulhu: He personifies this trope quite nicely.
* DropInCharacter: Becomes this on ''LetsPlay/MarikPlaysBloodlines''.
* EyelessFace: Upgrades from TheBlank to this in Concrete Giraffes.
* HumanoidAbomination: Though he seems pretty friendly.
* ItsWhatIDo
* LargeHam
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Which he uses [[OffstageVillainy offstage]].
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: Several steps down from his regular characterization, but he still has his moments.
* SpotlightStealingSquad: In-universe, when he [[spoiler: wrestles away control of ''Concrete Giraffes'' from Marik, making himself the main character.]]
* VoiceOfTheLegion: And it's ''hilarious''. Except for the last few seconds of ''Marik Plays VideoGame/{{Slender}}''.
!!The Egyptian God Cards
Monsters created by Maximillion Pegasus. They are children's trading cards with the powers of actual Egyptian gods, confirmation if ever needed that card games are serious business.
They are Obelisk the Tormentor, Slypher the Executive Producer and Mega Ultra Chicken.
* BerserkButton: They ''do not'' take having a counterfeit of them being used.
--> '''Mega Ultra Chicken''': '''INSOLENCE!!! YOU HAVE ANGERED THE GOD OF TRADING CARDS! NOW YOU WILL NEVER SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY!!'''
* LargeHam: See BerserkButton.
* OddNameOut: Obelisk is the only one not to have his name changed from the original anime.
** Probably so we can hear the phrase "I'M TOOOOOR-MENTING YOU!" once more.
