==== Duel Monsters ==== | |||
Several Duel Monster spirits not directly linked to the main cast appear throughout the series. | |||
# {{nihongo|'''Alien of Light'''|光の宇宙人|Hikari no Uchiujin}} (voiced by ] / Takahiro Hirano): Alien of Light's Duel with Jaden, arranged by Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin, serves as a test of the boy's abilities to wield the powers of darkness. It plays a '''Different Dimension''' deck, primarily centered around ''Candelato, the Beast of Light''. Although the card prevents its controller from drawing any additional cards during the Draw Phase, the Alien of Light takes advantage of its simple summoning conditions as a means of brute force. | |||
# ''']''' ({{nihongo|'''Blamagigirl'''|ブラマジガール|Buramajigāru}} in the original ] version) (voiced by ] / Yuki Nakao): A Duel Spirit towards whom ] harbors feelings for, Dark Magician Girl surfaces during a school-wide festival to duel with Jaden. She plays '''Spellcaster''' deck, which centers around her own card (much like Yubel) and its related support. | |||
# {{nihongo|'''Dark World'''|暗黒界|Ankokukai}}: A dictatorship of legendary monsters hailing from the world of the humans trapped in the third alternate dimension that Jaden and his companions visit. Its army is composed of numerous advisors and foot soldiers, and is headed by Dark World's king, Brron. None prevailed against Jaden. | |||
# {{nihongo|'''Freed'''|フリード|Furīdo}} (voiced by ]): The captain of the Steel Knight army which protects the humans trapped in the third alternate dimension that Jaden and his companions visit, including the daughter and son of one of his battalion, Lars.

# {{nihongo|'''Gravekeeper's Chief'''|墓守の長|Hakamori no Chō}} (voiced by Tom Souhrada / ]): The leader of the Gravekeeper's who demands that all intruders seen as tomb robbers be buried alive. While searching for his friends in another world, Jaden meets a Gravekeeper's Assailant named '''Yasmin''' ({{nihongo|'''Sara'''|サラ}} in the original ] version) (voiced by ] / ]), who rescues him from harm, and Jaden develops a little crush on her, though he is ultimately captured and forced to duel the Chief in a Shadow Duel. He plays a '''Gravekeeper''' deck, which focuses on the wide range of abilities available with his "Gravekeeper's" cards, as well as preventing both players from activating cards that interact with the Graveyard. | |||
# '''Supreme King advisors''': consisting of '''Skilled White Magician''', '''Skilled Dark Magician''', '''Skull Knight''', '''Chaos Sorcerer''', and '''Guardian Baou''', they serve as henchman to Jaden while under the guise of Supreme King.

This may be the case because Jinzo is a Dark-attribute monster. A group of three students including '''Torrey''' ({{nihongo|'''Takadera'''|高寺}} in the original ] version) unwittingly call him forth, but was defeated by Jaden in a Shadow Duel and forced to give up his ambition. He plays a '''Psycho''' deck, which includes spirit-related cards in addition to himself as a trump card. | |||
# '''Kaibaman''' ({{nihongo|'''Friend of Justice - Kaibaman'''|正義の味方 カイバーマン|Seigi no Mikata Kaibāman}} in the original ] version) (voiced by ] / Kenijirou Tsuda): A monster modeled after ], Kaibaman duels and defeats Jaden after he and his friends happen upon the Duel Monsters world. He intended to quell Jaden's worries regarding Shadow Duels, and thus sarcastically threw around the possibility that he himself may have been initiating such a battle with Jaden. He plays Seto Kaiba's deck, complete with his three legendary '']'' cards. The card that represents himself can be sacrificed to summon a Blue Eyes from his hand. | |||
# '''Honest''' - An angel who belongs to Fujiwara Yusuke, before being put away in a box when Fujiwara goes to the darkness. At the beginning of Season 4, he disguises himself as Fujiwara and uses his powers to manipulate the memories of the others into thinking he's been there all along.
