History Characters / YuGiOhGXManga

* DemotedToExtra: No [[EverythingsBetterWithRainbows Gem Beast cards]], no HoYay with Judai, just one instance of possession and a lot of bug chasing.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: He's still TheStoic but he's personality is a nicer version of his Season 1 anime counterpart, he never became a ruthless Hell Kaiser and is less snarky in the manga. While Ryo is a {{Downplayed}} AloofBigBrother towards Sho in the manga but his BigBrotherBully traits towards Sho are removed in this continuity and he's more encouraging towards him and Ryo can also be a bit playful during his converstion with Fubuki.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Ryo's role in the manga is similar to his Season 1 anime counterpart, while he wears his Hell Kaiser outfit in the finale but he never became a ruthless villain or TookALevelInJerkass, which is justified since he never suffered a Humilaiting defeat against Edo or underwent a TraumaCongaLine.

* AdaptationalNiceGuy: He's still TheStoic but he's personality is a nicer version of his Season 1 anime counterpart, he never became a ruthless Hell Kaiser and is less snarky in the manga. While Ryo is a {[Downplayed]] AloofBigBrother towards Sho in the manga but his BigBrotherBully traits towards Sho are removed in this continuity and he's more encouraging towards him and Ryo can also be a bit playful during his converstion with Fubuki.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Subtle, but it's there. Judai in the anime started off a very happy-go-lucky individual who during the first half of the show laughed off the high-stakes duels such as Shadow Games or Society of Light conscriptions until that attitude was [[InternalDeconstruction torn apart in Season 3]], causing him to be much more brooding afterwards. Manga!Judai is more of an in-between, while still a very positive individual throughout the story, he never laughs off the stakes of more serious duels, viewing Shadow Games as dangerous and ''un''enjoyable, and likewise showing a great deal of anger towards the villains who use them to hurt people. In short, he feels like a more realistic take on Judai's overall character, positive yes, but who reacts to the arcane events around him the way an actual person would.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: His anime counterpart's gimmick focused on equations and probability...which is not the case in the manga. While Misawa is still TheSmartGuy, these traits are downplayed and he's a very expressive character from the get-go. He's even willing to accept TheMagicPokerEquation, admitting during his second duel with Judai that he must believe in his deck just as Judai believes in his (it pays off too, as he manages to top-deck Kasha and get Judai into the red). And of course, his crush on Asuka, which was not present in the anime at all.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: While still TheStoic in general, he's more expressive than his anime counterpart, smiling in satisfaction from the sidelines more often and being Fubuki's [[TheStraightMan straight man]]. He even admits to enjoying fighting strong opponents, but it's hardly to the psychotic extremes of his anime counterpart.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: Johan in the manga is almost completely identical to his anime counterpart in terms of disposition, but he's a BeetleManiac in this version, and is quite willing to pack in monster destruction traps such as Mirror Force, which his anime counterpart was against doing.

* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: He's still as slick as his anime counterpart's public persona, but he's depicted in a more mundane manner in the manga, being a bit of a SoreLoser from how Ryo and Fubuki constantly defeated him during their junior days, and rubbing his victories over them in his face.

* {{Expy}}: Yugi Mutou & Dark Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh!. Judai is also based on Joseph Joestar from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2: Battle Tendency.

* AllMightyJanitor: He is this due to being Oriris Red. (Slifer Red in Viz translation.

* {{Expy}}: Yugi Mutou & Yami Yugi of course. Judai is also based on Joseph Joestar from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2: Battle Tendency.

* BlueIsHeroic: An anti-hero version of this trope.

* {{Expy}}: Of Seto Kaiba. Manjoume is aslo based on Caeser Zeppeli from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure Part 2: Battle Tendency.

* ShipTease: With Asuka.

* ShipTease: With Misawa.

* TheRival: Judai's, similar to his role in the first season of the anime. Unlike in the anime, however, [[AdaptationalBadass he's actually formidable enough to]] ''[[AdaptationalBadass defeat]]'' [[InvincibleHero Judai]].

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: As seen in KnightOfCerebus, but this particularly deserves explaining. The GX manga is by and by very mundane and subdued compared to the [[CerebusRollercoster total mood-shifts]] of the anime, but the tone is generally very quiet, subdued, and the story very character-based. These factors ultimately combine in making Tragoedia completely and utterly ''terrifying'' as the story slowly builds him up, first through Koyo's mysterious afflication and coma, then when he begins manifesting through the American students to enact Shadow Games, a reaction very much helped by the manga version of Judai being utterly intimidated and horrified by them. He feels very much like a horror villain dropped into an slice-of-life story as a result.

* SoulJar: For Tragoedia's heart

* {{Expy}}: Of Dark Bakura and Zorc Necrophades from ''Yu-Gi-Oh!''.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: His whole Deck.
** Special mention goes to Light and Darkness Dragon, the only spirit card in the manga besides Kuriboh and dangerous enough to scare the BigBad.

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Manjoume's ace in a deck full of them.

* CurbStompBattle: Manjoume might be an AdaptationalBadass who can beat Judai in this 'verse, but he [[OneHitKill doesn't stand a chance against the Kaiser]].

* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: As in the anime, his deck is centered around Machine-type, dragon-themed monsters.

* [[OneHitKill One Turn Kill]]: He [[CurbStompBattle flattens]] Manjoume instantly and effortlessly through Cyber Eltanin on his third turn.

* AdaptationalJerkass: His anime counterpart, while cruel, maintained a calm and polite demeanor towards Judai and his friends. Here however, he's an arrogant snob who openly looks down on Judai, and can barely maintain his contempt towards Johan and Edo either.

* AdaptationalHeroism: He's nowhere near the villain he was in the anime. Not having Echo around to play LadyMacbeth helps, along with him and Sid having a far more mundane and normal life.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Compared to his anime self, he's a far more mundane and down-to-earth individual, although he does look down on Judai and overall has a SoreLoser and SeriousBusiness attitude when it comes to dueling. Still better than being a deceptive WildCard spy though.

* {{Sentai}}: Masked Heroes.

%%* TheSmartGuy

* FauxActionGirl: Like her anime counterpart, she's in the highest ranking dorm. However, she only wins ''one'' shown duel, and it's a tag duel where she has help from Bastion. Every other time she duels, she loses.

%%* StarterVillain
* WarmUpBoss: He's not particularly skilled at dueling, and wins by cheating.

%%* CoolTeacher

%%* HotTeacher

%%* AlphaBitch

%%* ImpossibleHourglassFigure

* AloofBigBrother: Reprising his anime role for Sho.

* MythologyGag: The DistantFinale shows him wearing his Hell Kaiser outfit. Which, unlike the other {{Mythology Gag}}s, carries a bit of FridgeHorror.

* [[OneHitKill One Turn Kill]]: He [[CurbStompBattle flattens]] Manjoume instantly and effortlessly.

%%* AxCrazy

* BrainwashedAndCrazy

%%* ForeignExchangeStudent

* {{Jerkass}}: Jim calls him a jerk in passing, and wants to fight Fubuki because he defeated the person he wanted to defeat.
%%* ObviouslyEvil

* AxCrazy: Is the only one of the foreign champions who willingly aids Tragoedia. Just as crazy as David was.

* EyeScream: Guess what's under [[EyePatchOfPower the bandages]]. [[SchmuckBait Just try to guess.]]

* AdaptationalHeroism: He's nowhere near the villain he was in the anime. Not having Echo around to play LadyMacbeth helps.

* SeriousBusiness: His view on duels, given his different motivation from everyone else, which also leads to him being something of a SoreLoser.

* TookALevelInKindness: Compared to his anime self, although he does look down on Judai.

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: Especially when he gets possessed during his duel with Sho.

* HeroKiller: Is able to defeat Judai and Fubuki in duels, even if he did have siginificant help in the latter case, but ultimately loses to Tragoedia.

* BigBad: Of the GX manga.

* KarmicDeath: He got killed by a fusion of the very Duel Spirit that corrupted him.

* SealedEvilInACan: And he was so powerful that he wasn't even completely sealed in his tablet. Played straight with his heart, though.

* WorfHadTheFlu: Judai actually manages to defeat him once, but he does so while he's not using his normal deck.

* WomanInWhite: Her uniform could have come from the [[{{Eagleland}} US Navy]].

* HumblePie: He goes into the duel with [[TheAce Ryo]] cocky, having just defeated [[BoringInvincibleHero Judai]]. He gets [[OneHitKill instantly]] [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomped]]. It takes Manjoume a few minutes before he can even stand up.

* TheRival: Judai's, similar to his role in the first season of the anime. Unlike in the anime, however, [[AdaptationalBadass he's actually formidable enough to]] ''[[AdaptationalBadass defeat]]'' [[BoringInvincibleHero Judai]].

* ObliviousToLove: Had no idea why Misawa was dueling Judai, even with the former's LuminescentBlush and Sho [[LampshadeHanging calling her a]] [[HelloNurse "Siren"]].

%%* HelloNurse

* DisproportionateRetribution: The first time we see him with Judai, he's freaking out because the [[ChasteHero latter]] [[BornLucky somehow]] has [[HelloNurse Asuka's]] cell number, which is the result of him often borrowing things from her.

* HelloNurse: Hates it (see MsFanservice), but doesn't always notice (see ObliviousToLove).

* [[BitchInSheepsClothing Asshole In Sheep's Clothing]]: He puts on a polite act in front of Chronos, but plans on [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness casting him aside when he's no longer useful]].

A character subpage from the ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' anime and manga series, OddlyNamedSequel to ''Anime/YuGiOh''. For the main character page, see [[Characters/YuGiOhGX here]].

* WellDoneSonGuy: Wants to be acknowledged by his brother, and eventually, [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments he is]].

* {{Expy}}: Of Mai during Duelist Kingdom
%%* ForeignExchangeStudent

* LaserGuidedAmnesia: After her defeat, forgets much of what she did on the island.

%%* TokenMinority

* BigBad: of the GX manga.

* BigBrotherMentor: To Judai

* MisterFanservice: Easily the most ripped out of the Americans.
%%* PositiveDiscrimination

* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Adding to the above, he's also more serious and competent than his anime counterpart, and his crush on Asuka is removed completely, even though he does still call her "Tenjouin-kun".
