In the Waking the Dragons arc, Weevil and Rex are together, having lost a great deal of their former popularity after being humiliated in the Duelist Kingdom and Battle City tournaments. He is later seen among the duelists observing the semifinal match between Yugi and Kaiba in Domino City. As a result of losing both of his locator cards in the process, he is ejected from the Battle City tournament. Despite using this to his advantage, he loses and is forced to give Joey his rare card, " Insect Queen". Weevil is next seen in the Battle City arc, where he duels Joey, after "paying" a boy to plant a " Parasite Paracide" card into Joey's deck, combining that with " Insect Barrier" to make his monsters nearly invincible and enabling him to summon his ace monsters: " Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth" and " Insect Queen". Yugi defeats him in the first duel of the tournament, forcing Weevil to be the first duelist to leave the island along with the others who had been defeated in their first round. Laughing, Weevil returns to his cabin, confident that he has destroyed his major source of competition. Upon seeing them, Weevil takes them and chucks them off the boat, leaving Joey Wheeler to jump in to retrieve them. On the boat ride to the tournament, he confronts Yugi Muto and asks to see his set of Exodia. However, he quickly revealed himself to be underhanded and sneaky (while Rex Raptor, coincidentally, shows decent sportsmanship and plays fairly). Upon meeting Yugi and his friends, he seemed a humble and respectful person, in contrast to the bold and arrogant Rex Raptor. After his victory, he is invited personally by Maximillion Pegasus to travel to Duelist Kingdom to compete there. Weevil starts out in the series as the Duel Monsters Representative of Eastern Japan then National Champion of Duel Monsters (in the dub, he was Regional Champion) by defeating Rex Raptor in the final match of the National Championship though Rex implies he let Weevil win and knowing Weevil his deck was stacked. Weevil chucks Yugi's "Exodia" cards overboard He is referred as Weevil (/wɛbil/), in episode 63.īiography Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist Kingdom In the Spanish version (where he is dubbed by David Robles, who also voices Duke Devlin), he is named Weevil Underwood, but in the first episode a narrator mentions that his nickname is "El gusano peleón" (the fighting worm), from that point on everybody refers him as "El gusano" (the worm). His surname, "Underwood," is played on "under the wood", possibly to compliment his Insect Deck. Many types of said insect are also pests of crop, referring to his less than pleasant personality. His English given name comes from "Weevil", a small beetle with an elongated snout. His title "Insector" refers to his Insect Deck. It can also be played on the word "Hakazu" (剥がす) which means "to peel off", referring to the many types of insects that go through molting during their life cycle. His Japanese given name "Haga" (羽蛾) literally means "Winged Moth", referring to his first ace monster, " Great Moth". In the Spanish dub tends to say "despídete de (tus monstruos tus puntos de vida.)" ("say goodbye/farewell to (your monsters your LP)", when he believes is about to destroy a monster or win the game, possibly a reference to his famous sentence when he drops Exodia's pieces away: "despídete de Exodia" ("say goodbye/farewell to Exodia") In the Singapore English dub, Weevil speaks with a Peter Lorre-esque voice. However, his character and appearance are supposedly based off of the character Haiyama, who appeared in one episode of Season 0 they both wear yellow glasses, have colored hair, and are manipulative. Weevil does not appear in the first series anime. In the Waking the Dragons arc he has a Chaos Duel Disk instead. He carries a KaibaCorp Duel Disk on his left hand. From Battle City onwards he wears a closed green jacket with a beetle pattern on the front, black shorts, and green-and-black sneakers with wing shoe laces. In the Duelist Kingdom arc, Weevil's outfit consists of a green jacket with a raised collar, a white shirt underneath, a red bow tie, brown trousers, and brown shoes. His turquoise hair is arranged in a "Beatles' Haircut" fashion, and his eyes are blue. His Duelist Kingdom glasses magnify his eyes (or so it seems). Weevil wears large round yellow glasses, which have an insect horn in the center to connect the lenses in season one in the other 4 seasons, his glasses have a beetle in the middle, and holes on the legs. Weevil's character design was overseen by Kazuki Takahashi. Depicted here is the duelist in the regalia from front and rear views and alongside views of his head from different angles as well as close ups of his glasses. Weevil's design incorporates multiple layers of clothing and a wide range of expressions.
