[ Big5 ]

The Big 5 is a group of men who used to work for Seto Corporation. They are a set of power-hungry fiends who would do anything for control. Their story begins back in the first series of Duel Monsters, during Pegasus’s Duelist Kingdom tournament. When they saw that Yugi had defeated Seto in his last duel, they also noticed that profits, sponsors, and stocks were going down for the corporation. They teamed up with Pegasus, and agreed to get rid of Seto and Mokuba permanently, as well as make sure Yugi doesn’t win the tournament. This way they could make a new start for the company, by teaming up with Industrial Illusions, which is Pegasus’s Company.

Their plan fails, as Yugi wins against Pegasus and frees Seto and Mokuba’s souls. After Seto soon learned of all their backstabbing, he confronts them back in their office, and says they are all fired. Seto then decides to try out his latest invention of the Virtual Game World. A Role-Playing game, but with duel monsters. The Big 5 inserted a virus into the game while Seto was testing it, and so he was stuck in the game, and captured by an Armed Ninja. As the game goes on, Yugi, Jonounchi, Mokuba, and Mai all come into the game to help out, and try to save Seto from the Big 5’s trap. They found them selves dueling the Big 5 all at once. Only dragon monsters were allowed in this virtual duel. The Big 5 used only I monster, which was the 5-headed dragon, which consist of Fire, Lighting, Ice, Dark, and Light dragonheads. Each of the Big controls a head. Soon enough, they are defeated, and not heard from again until episode 98, where they come to take revenge.

In the middle of the Battle City finals, while they waited for the 3^rd round, the Duel Air Ship is thrown off course and dragged to a mechanical island that suddenly emerges from the sea. When they are forcefully landed onto the island, they found out that a kid named Noah controls a virtual world. He traps all of them into the world, where Yugi, Jonounchi, Seto, Mokuba, Shizuka, Honda, Anzu, and Otogi soon learn that the Big 5 is there as well. They are now under Noah’s control. Noah promises them, that if they defeat one of the duelists, then they can take over their body, and re-enter the real world. They take turns dueling everyone, using Deck Masters as their bodies, until they are all fed up with loosing, that they take over Honda’s body. (Read below under the 4^th member of the Big 5 to find out why it is Honda.) Now that there are 5 different conscious in one mind. They demand a duel with Yugi, but Jonounchi decides to duel as well. A long battle rages on between the Big 5, Jonounchi and Yugi, until at last, the Big 5 start to argue within them. They pull it together very soon, and summon the 5-headed dragon, yet again. Jonounchi and Yugi combine the Dark Magician and the Flame Swords Man to win the duel. The Big 5 has been defeated, hopefully for the last and final time.

OTAKI

[ Characteristics ]

Otaki is an obnoxious and prudent man who seems to enjoy hearing himself talk. He does seem to care for the Earth, but mainly for penguins. He’s also an agitating man who is very confident in himself and wants revenge on the world, and especially on Kaiba Corp.

[ Background ]

When Otaki was little, his parents used to argue a lot. After he finished his homework everyday, he would hang out around the aquarium at the penguin’s cage, and watch and admire the penguins, about how they were such caring and loving families together. For Otaki, it was an escape from his troubles at home. He claims the penguins ‘rescued’ him from it all. As for his job at Kaiba Corporation, he was the manager of the personnel department.

He scolded her verbally about littering, and not taking proper care of the world, and of the penguins. He’s 55 years old, but acts like a kid.

Jonounchi slapped it away and yelled at Ooka for tricking him. He’s supposed to be a lawyer, but doesn’t believe in the truth. He asks Jonounchi, “What is truth?” Basically, he’s a lawyer that lies to win. He’s done his research and knows all about how Jonounchi’s deck is all about gambling, luck, and chance. Taking this information into account, Ooka cheats in the duel and makes Jonounchi lose all his bets. Noah cancels the duel and yells at Ooka, but Jonounchi, being a ‘man’ tells Noah to let the duel continue. Now that “Lady Luck” was back on Jonounchi’s side, Ooka didn’t really stand a chance.
