Per TRS, Jerkass Facade is deprecated, primarily in favor of Hidden Heart Of Gold.


* HiddenHeartOfGold: [[spoiler:As it turns out in Episode 96, the reason why Jack acts like an ass towards Yuya to the point of [[WhatTheHellHero calling him out]] for his conceited Entertainment Dueling in their first Duel is because Yuya thinks his talent is all from himself, not understanding that his opponents all pushed him to get this good and he has them to thank for it.]]

* KickTheDog: Subverted. His downright brutal comment on Yuya's Entertainment Dueling [[spoiler:is actually part of his JerkassFacade, not because he's an arrogant, cruel, and gleeful {{Sadist}} like his pre-CharacterDevelopment ''[[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds 5D's]]'' counterpart.]]

%%* EvilIsHammy:* EvilIsHammy: Whenever his crazy side comes out, expect no scenery to be left un-chewed. Particularly in the original, where he seems to be engaging in [[HamToHamCombat a no-holds-barred hamfest]] against Jack after going OneWingedAngel.
--> '''"[[MadnessMantra UTSUKUSHIIII!]]"'''



* CatchPhrase:
** In the original: "There is only one King, and it is me!"
** In the dub: "Who's the Master of Faster? Who rules the Duels? That's right, it's me!"



* FinalBoss: Of the Friendship Cup, and by extension, for Yuya. When Yuya faces him down in a FinalBossPreview, Yuya gets utterly trampled due in part to his lack of skill and finesse. He is then re-challenged [[spoiler:in a last-ditch attempt by Yuya to stop the Commons' violent riots]] as the final obstacle standing in front of Yuya. [[spoiler:Yuya barely manages to succeed, but then Roget makes his own last-ditch play and becomes the Synchro Arc's TrueFinalBoss (rofr Reiji).]]

* FinalBossPreview: Invoked InUniverse. The tradition of the Friendship Cup is for Jack to hold an exhibition match against some hapless schmuck (in this case, Yuya) before the Cup begins, in order to show the competition exactly what the winner will be going up against and, as Yugo describes it, to rub in the Tops' incontrovertible authority.



* HotBlooded: It's ''JACK ATLAS!'' Whether he has a Burning Soul or not, his heart burns like hell. [[spoiler:He performs a Double Tuning with blazing eyes while mimicking Yusei's Accel Synchro and calling a cameo appearance of the Crimson Dragon.]]

* PostFinalBoss: While Roget serves as the ArcVillain for the Synchro Dimension arc, Reiji disposes of him easily after the climactic duel between Yuya and Jack.

* {{Foil}}: He has a disturbing amount of similarity to [[spoiler:Zarc of all people.]] They were both highly popular entertainers of their dimension who were corrupted by said dimension and became highly bitter and threw away their ideals who were eventually went back to their original selves because of Yuya. Shinji even states his dueling style as Autumn Rain Chojiro is to negate his opponent's cards and wait for them to self-destruct is nearly identical to [[spoiler:Supreme King Dragon Zarc's]].

* FauxAffablyEvil: He's TheStoic, but he allows Yugo and Yuzu's entry into the Friendship Cup so he can arrest them in front of everyone as [[MakeAnExampleOfThem an example]] in front of the Commons, while sounding sadistically pleased, bringing him some shades of this trope. Since he comes from the Fusion Dimension, a place filled with sadistic people, this suddenly makes a whole lot of sense.

** [[spoiler: Sergey can also be seen as a foil to Zarc. Both are Ax-Crazy duelist who use multiple summoning methods and love brutalizing their opponents, but while Zarc only became like that by being driven insane by the blood thirsty people of the United World, Sergey was always brutal and Roget tried to tone that down. Also, Zarc had a deep-seeded fear of losing, while Sergey embraced his loss to Jack because to him it was a beautiful duel.]]

* VillainRespect: Roget is genuinely impressed by Yuya's growing skills in the Synchro Dimension, notably after he was able to Synchro Summon for the first time. This manages to get him to come out of his office and praise Yuya in front of the entire stadium; [[spoiler:unfortunately, this turns Shinji, Sam and the rest of the gullible and easily excitable Commons against Yuya]].
