History Characters / YuGiOhDominoHighSchool

* JerkassHasAPoint: Even though he's an utter hypocrite, he's not exactly wrong when he says that Jonouchi and Honda were bullying Yugi, and point out how odd it is how Yugi is standing up for his so-called friends that were picking on him.

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The Dragon Cards are a Chinese Shadow Game that bring disaster to the land without even playing a game, require a game to be played to calm the dragons' wrath, and are never brought up again despite the danger they pose, though Yami Yugi makes a point that they have to be sealed away again, and presumably did so off-screen.

* UncertainDoom: Dark Yugi leaves him crumpled on the floor, and it's not clear if he's dead or just unconscious.

* AloofAlly: He is this to the group as a whole after his intro arc. Moreso in the manga than in the anime, which made him an AscendedExtra.

* AscendedExtra: The filler arcs were kind to him in the anime, giving him more screentime and allowing him to duel a couple times, while in the manga he never got any such action after his introductory arc (essentially his gaming skills go to waste, and he's PutOnABus during the Millennium World arc until the Ceremonial Battle).

* DemotedToComicRelief: Despite starting out as a rather prominent antagonist, upon making his HeelFaceTurn, Otogi doesn't really do anything beyond provide comic relief, with his more serious traits only appearing when it's handy for the heroes.

* EasilyForgiven: Yugi's gang is all too eager to forgive him and accept him into their group as soon as he decides to stop being a jerk to them, even turning a blind eye to the humiliation he put Jonouchi through.

%%* TheStoic: In the original manga.

* ThoseTwoGuys: With Honda/Tristan. Again, only in the anime.

%% * {{Jerkass}}

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Dragon Card is never brought up after its sole appearance, and Yami Yugi can only hope no one else finds it and unseals the dragons. Likely downplayed, as considering how Yugi has it in his hands by this point, gaming runs in the family, and Suguroku likely stashes it away somewhere far deep in Kame Game Shop. The Toei anime makes this worse when they hide it in Imori's house.

* AdaptationalJerkass: In the anime, besides cheering Otogi on they boo and harass Jonouchi and Yugi.
* CruelCheerleader: In the anime, they bully and harrass Jonouchi and physically attack him.

That's how it went in the original manga. In the anime, Ryuji was one of Pegasus' business partners and fans. Instead of being raised as a tool of vengeance by his father, he has a real grudge against Yugi over Pegasus' loss causing their business deals to stagnate, but he gets over it after the game hits it big. His personality in the anime is also different from his personality in the original manga. Unlike the manga where DDD was a completely separate game, in the anime he seemed to have based ''Dungeon Dice Monsters'' as a spin-off to ''Duel Monsters'', incorporating many ''Duel Monsters'' creatures in the game as a tribute.

In the manga, aside from a one-off mention of liking ''Duel Monsters'', he is never seen playing the ''Duel Monsters'' card game - we only see him playing "bar bet" games and ''Dungeon Dice Monsters'', though he shows knowledge and interest in all games regardless. In the anime however, he is a big fan of Pegasus and is shown to play the game a few times. The first time he duels in the anime, he used a deck of cards randomly drawn from several booster packs. His true deck uses many dice effects, and many of the monsters emulate the ones that were originally from the manga's ''DDM''. His strongest creature in ''Dungeon Dice Monsters'' is God Orgoth in both versions, which in the anime also has a ''Duel Monsters'' counterpart.

* AdaptationExplanationExtrication: The Black Clown's clown theme and Ryuji's partial clown are from the manga, where it comes from his father. No such explanation is in the anime; Ryuji apparently just likes clowns.

* BadassBoast: Quite often when he challenges Yugi or Dark Yugi (depending on the medium) to ''Dungeon Dice Monsters'', though it gets exaggerated in the anime's English dub.

** In the manga, the Bakura fangirls from the Monster World arc swoon over Ryuji during his first appearance at school, but he ignores them, and has no interest in Jonouchi's sister.

* DemotedToComicRelief: Despite starting out as a rather prominent antagonist, upon making his HeelFaceTurn, Ryuji doesn't really do anything beyond provide comic relief, with his more serious traits only appearing when it's handy for the heroes.

** In the manga, Ryuji specializes in games that rely on percentages, for example, dice and card flips. He challenges Jonouchi and Yugi to Bar Bet games in the manga, games with fixed probability that are meant to trick his opponent in a gamble. He also created the luck-based board game of Dungeon Dice Monsters/Dragons, Dice & Dungeons.

* GracefulLoser: After he loses to the regular Yugi in Dungeon Dice Monsters, he realizes he doesn't hate nor mind losing to Yugi at all. He was willing to hand the Millennium Puzzle over until his father intervenes.

* InsaneTrollLogic: In the manga version of the DDM arc, Ryuji wanted to beat Yugi so his father can get revenge-by-proxy on Sugoroku, and ends up challenging him to a private game of Dungeon Dice Monsters. [[AbusiveParent Makes a sad amount of sense.]] In the anime, however, it makes no sense. Ryuji wants to publicly humiliate Yugi and prove he's a cheater who never could have beaten Pegasus fairly. And he decides to do this by... challenging Yugi to a game that Ryuji himself invented. A game that's rather obscure and unheard of, and that Yugi has no idea how to play (and Ryuji doesn't explain it to him, either). If anything, Ryuji's victory would have just proven ''he'' was a cheater that couldn't win fairly. Not to mention that he wants his game to get more exposure, but it doesn't seem to occur to him that being an ArrogantKungFuGuy about how good he is at it to the King of Games will probably turn off potential customers.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Shown heavily during his arc in the manga. Despite making an ass out of himself when he first tries to humiliate Jonouchi with his fixed games and is seemingly determined to fulfill his father's dream of revenge and ruining Yugi's life, he's not that bad of a guy deep down and really only wants a worthy opponent in games. After slowly getting to like Yugi more and more throughout their game of DDD, when his father smashes the Millennium Puzzle, Ryuji looks at him with disgust and helps Yugi pick up the pieces before continuing their battle. His father, needless to say, was astonished by his kindness.

* LastNameBasis: Except for his dad, everyone called him "Otogi".

* SmugSnake: In the dub anime during his Dungeon Dice Monsters game with Yugi, he's completely confident that Yugi is just a glorified cheater who doesn't stand a chance against him since he ''made'' the game and Yugi is an amateur who doesn't have any idea of proper strategy. Yugi's repeated use of DidntSeeThatComing against him shakes him, but he brushes such instances off as luck. He mellows out once he loses.
* TheStoic: In the original manga.
* TheUglyGuysHotDaughter: Gender-inverted, Ryuji is the very good-looking son of his rather nightmarish-looking dad. However, it's shown that his father's face only became what it is today after losing to Sugoroku, so it could possibly be that his father used to be just as handsome as he is.

* TookALevelInKindness: After losing his Dungeon Dice Monsters match against Yugi, he considerably chills out.

* WeakButSkilled: Ironically, while playing Dungeon Dice Monsters. Ryuji's strategy is basically to ZergRush Yugi, quickly expanding his territory with low-level monsters to box Yugi in and give him no room to summon his own monsters. Then he summons God Orgoth and pours all his resources into powering it up into a OneManArmy that can steamroll all of Yugi's monsters on its own. Little wonder Yugi was able to repeatedly outsmart him and eventually win.

* DefeatMeansFriendship[=/=]EasilyForgiven:

* {{Jerkass}}
* KickTheSonOfABitch: He stole a stand to sell delicious food and beat up a few people. Dark Yugi punishes him by ''blowing him up''. Not only did his class destroy Yugi and his classmates' hardwork, they trample normal Yugi. And Goro knocked out Jonouchi while he was stuck in a life-sized ''Pop-Up Pirate'' barrel. Though this would seem as typical as normal villains as bullies like Goro would throw out, it also doesn't help that his appearance is supposed to imply he is a bancho, and pulling this off anywhere else outside of ''Yu-Gi-Oh's'' setting would likely see him get his face smashed in by someone more honorable and virtuous of his like.
