History Characters / YuGiOhDominoCityResidents

* AdaptationalVillainy: In the manga, he at least [[FairPlayVillain plays by his own rules]] when Dark Yugi flips the King cards and wins the game, and then he surrenders to the police after his car is identified. In the anime, he's a SoreLoser who tries to detonate all the bombs when Dark Yugi identifies his car, leading to a Penalty Game.

* TheAlcoholic: In his only appearance, the table he put his feet on is filled with empty bottles, one of which he throws at his son's friends when they try to visit.
%%* AlcoholicParent

* {{Fanboy}}: Of Seto Kaiba.

* AdaptedOut: He only appears in the manga and one video game, and none of its anime adaptations.

* [[YoungerThanTheyLook Younger Than He Looks]]: He's in his 30's, but looks ''years'' older than Yugi's grandfather because of the Penalty Game.
* [[YoureNothingWithoutYourPhlebotinum You're Nothing Without Your Millennium Puzzle]]: He thinks Yugi is nothing without the Millennium Puzzle giving him the expert gaming personality, and thus his son is the rightful owner to the item.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: A very nasty reminder of where and what Jonouchi's past was like and what he did back in middle school. It also doesn't help that he leads a street gang and encourages them to be as brutal and surly and relentless as they want to be. As he hounds Jounouchi into high school, he threatens him ''two'' times; once by threatening to beat up everyone in his class, and the second time around when he didn't learn his lesson, by ''strangling Yugi''. Since being kicked off of the roof of an abandoned warehouse in an attempt to kill Jonouchi with a piece of glass, we can only hope that visit to the hospital told him to leave Jounochi alone for good.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: It's very satisfying to see Jonouchi kick his ass in both the manga and first anime.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: His anime self has dark blue hair tied in a ponytail.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: In the Toei anime his hair is blue and cyan.

* TheWorfEffect: Sugoroku is played up to be a skilled old game master. When he battled Seto Kaiba at the beginning of Death-T, he was doing pretty well with his Blue-Eyes White Dragon until Kaiba revealed that ''he'' now had ''three'' Blue-Eyes White Dragons. He loses and is subjected to a horrific Penalty Game, which triggers his heart problems and sends him to the hospital, all to show how much of a threat former minor villain-of-the-day [[BigBad Kaiba]] has become.

He is the true BigBad of the ''Dungeon Dice Monsters''/''Dragons, Dice & Dungeons'' arc of the original manga. Before Yugi was ever born, Mr. Otogi asked Sugoroku Muto, Yugi's grandfather and a master gamer, to take him in as a disciple. After a while, they challenged each other for the ownership of the Millennium Puzzle in a Shadow Game called the Devil's Board Game. Otogi, who lost, [[YoungerThanTheyLook aged 50 years in a single night as a Penalty Game]], disfiguring his face horribly. Since then he desired revenge through his son Ryuji (Duke Devlin in the English anime dub), owner of the Black Clown game shop - wanting Ryuji to best Yugi at any game possible in order to claim the Millennium Puzzle as his own and become the new King of Games.

* BigBad: Of the ''Dragons, Dice & Dungeons'' arc (in the manga). While Ryuji was Yugi's primary opponent during the arc, Ryuji's father was the one who was behind everything and ultimately created the conflict in which Yugi had to re-assemble the Millennium Puzzle in a burning building.

* BigBadWannabe: He thinks that he can sell the Millennium Puzzle until Shadi proves him wrong.

* IWasQuiteALooker: As seen on the card [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/The_Legendary_Gambler Legendary Gambler]], which depicts him as a young man.

* TheGambler: Rivaled Dark Yugi during his younger days. This is later revisited during the Grand Prix arc, where his luck can even rival Jonouchi's.
* PaperThinDisguise: In the anime, as Mask The Rock. He doesn't even change out of his normal outfit, he just puts on a mask. The only one truly fooled is, ironically, Jonouchi. In the dub, his disguise is even worse, as he uses the name "Apdnarg Otum", or [[SdrawkcabName "Grandpa Muto" spelled backwards]].

* DisproportionateRetribution: His reasons for revenge stem from when he and Sugoroku Moto played the Devil's Board Game, whose cursed power aged him incredibly when he lost. If Sugoroku had actually had malicious intent, this is a little justified, but they both agreed to play the game and the rules of the game are such that one's opponent has no bearing on who wins the game. Imprisoning, discrediting, and attempting to murder Sugoroku's grandson, after forcing him to play the Devil's Board Game, was clearly done out of spite.

* GrumpyOldMan: How pretty much everyone describes him.

* StillGotIt: Mokuba claims he was an actor once, and if true, he's still pretty good.

** His original Japanese name refers to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugoroku an antique board game]] brought to Japan from China. Inccidently, Konami had made [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Yu-Gi-Oh!_video_games#cite_ref-76 a GBA game]] out of this reference.

** When participating in the Kaiba Grand Prix, Sugoroku was able to hold his against Joey, whose experience and skill had grown significantly since he trained him, and even came close to beating him using a card that he has little to no experience in using.

A television working for ZTV and was the second villain Yami Yugi faced in the manga. He staged a bullying documentary called "Caught on Camera: School Violence" at Domino High School. He ordered his assistant Fujita to disguise himself as a student and play the role of a bully by beating up Yugi Muto on camera. However, Joey intervened and broke up the fight. The director showed up and told Fujita he could leave, explaining to Yugi that he was now the star of the documentary and will get dozens of letters from viewers sympathizing with him. Jonouchi wanted to beat up the director, but he hesitated after being reminded he was being caught on camera. The director then told his crew to stop the cameras and then attacked Jonouchi.
