Manjoume is considered Judai's main rival in the same similarity as Seto Kaiba being the main rival to Yugi Muto. He is the younger brother of Chosaku Manjoume and Shoji Manjoume. He and Judai have dueled one another several times throughout the seasons anime. Originally, he used to be a duelist who only respects powerful cards to a duelist who believes any card can be effective. Since being one of the main characters of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Manjoume has been fighting alongside his friends against the various threats in Duel Academy. Manjoume, like Judai, also has the ability to see duel spirits, to which he was able to see Ojama Yellow who then becomes his first Spirit Companion and afterwards Ojama Black and Ojama Green after Chazz acquires them. His original deck was Chthonian. His current deck is VWXYZ, Armed Dragons from his stay at North Academy and Ojamas. He used White Knights cards when he was brainwashed into the Society of Light by Takuma Saiou. After returning to Duel Academia, he was demoted to Osiris Red for leaving Duel Academia. He became one of the Key keepers to protect the legendary Three Phantasms cards from Kagemaru and his Seven Stars Assassins.
In the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga, he has the same role in the anime series, but later becomes a deuteragonist.
In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D'S, there's an advertisement for "Manjoume Communications", suggesting Manjoume used the money he made as a Pro Duelist to found his own company; so he could stay out if his brothers' shadow.
Personalities[]
Manjoume can be seen as the Seto Kaiba to Judai. He is shown to be arrogant at first, but throughout the series, undergoes a drastic change for the better. He hated Judai so much that during Judai's tag team duel against the Meikyu brothers to determine whether or not they are expelled, he watched with a malicious smile on his face, waiting for Judai to lose and be expelled. After losing his duel to Judai, he left Duel Academia and ended up in the Arctic Academy, whose entrance exam required the duelist to find 40 cards to make a makeshift deck. From this experience, he learned to appreciate any and all cards, weak or powerful, which have the potential to be useful. After losing to Judai yet again, he returns to Duel Academia but has to be an Osiris Red. After Duel Academia's "takeover," Manjoume had to again make a makeshift deck of useless cards and still won. From then on, his deck had a mixture of powerful and weak cards, even though his deck mostly revolves around weaker cards, namely the Ojama Brothers, Ojama Yellow, Ojama Black, Ojama Green. Chazz always loves the color black when he always wears his jacket everyday due to the dirt doesn't show to his jacket and hates the color white as he claimed he's not like the Society of Light when he called them that includes Asuka and Daichi as geeks and called his Ojama cards to be his "lame monsters" in English.
When he was brainwashed by Takuma Saiou, Manjoume was ruder and arrogant than before. He defeated the Obelisk Blue students (including Asuka) into the Society of Light and even threw away his Ojama cards after defeating Daichi. But due to the help from Judai and Manjoume's Ojama cards in their duel, He returned back into his old self again.
He is in love with Asuka Tenjouin who does not hold the same feeling for him. Even with her brother Fubuki's help, he was rejected numerous times. He blushed with Asuka wearing Harpie Lady for the Duel Monsters day. After the brainwash from Saiou was undone, Manjoume shown a bit of amnesia when he does not remember a thing that he defeated Asuka and brainwashed her into the Society of Light.
Deck[]
Chazz's deck gradually evolves throughout the series, as does his personal philosophy on Dueling and his place in the world. He initially plays "Hell/Infernal" deck, consisting of high powered Fiend type and DARK attribute monsters, including members of the "Cthonian" series. While not seen at length, the deck appears to contain several control elements, using the effects of "Cthonian Soldier" and "Cthonian Polymer" to turn his opponent's monsters against them and using the effects of "Mefist the Infernal General" and "Helpoemer" to discard cards from their hand. Later, Vellian Crowler gives him rare "VWXYZ" cards to use aganst Jaden, which he continues to utilize in future decks.
After losing his "Cthonian" cards after becoming stranded, Chazz constructs a new deck using cards he found outside the grounds of North Academy, which focuses on a One-Turn Kill strategy; using this deck, he is able to defeat all fifty North Academy students simultaneously. As a result, he becomes North Academy's top student and is gifted an "Armed Dragon" deck by Chancellor Foster to represent them in the annual "School Duel" against Duel Academy. After losing the duel to Jaden, Chazz decides to return to Duel Academy, and Foster forgets to take the "Armed Dragon" deck back from him; this issue is not brought up again, and Chazz continues to use the cards for the rest of the series. It is during this time that Chazz acquires "Ojama Yellow", which becomes one of his spirit partners, much to his annoyance.
When his brother Slade challenges Chazz to a Duel with the fate of Duel Academy on the line, Slade sets the condition that Chazz cannot use monsters with more than 500 ATK, so Chazz gathers discarded cards from the Reject Well to construct a deck with, where he acquires "Ojama Green" and "Ojama Black" to accompany his "Ojama Yellow". The "0 ATK" deck he creates to uses against Slade uses several strategies that ultimately result in his victory.
Chazz later plays an "Ojama"/"Armed Dragon" deck, adding new support cards for both themes. He is able to defeat Shadow Rider Don Zaloog using this deck, but later loses to Amnael.
Following Amnael's defeat, Chazz, in an attempt to win Alexis' affections, takes advice form her brother Atticus and constructs a "Love" deck consisting of various love themed cards alongside his "Ojamas"; despite his efforts, Alexis defeats him.
In the second season, Chazz starts to play a deck consisting of his "Armed Dragon", "Ojama" and "VWXYZ" monsters. Upon being brainwashed into joining the Society of Light after losing to Sartorius, he also acquires the "Beetron" Union monsters, which he continues to use even after leaving the cult. His deck is also shown to include cards from his old "Cthonian" deck, though he is only ever seen discarding them. Chazz also uses the cards "Infernal White" and "White Veil", which he views as representations of his devotion to the Society, and thus discards them upon his departure.
At the height of his time in the Society, Chazz is gifted a "White Knight" deck by Sartorius, which focuses on a beatdown strategy, discards his old one as a result; the most powerful monster of this new deck is "White Knight Lord". Jaden duel Chazz with the latter's "Ojamas" to break his free from his brainwashing; upon breaking free, Chazz immediately uses "Cemetery Change" to reclaim his "Ojamas" while giving Jaden "White Knight Lord", though he still loses the Duel.
In the third season, Chazz retains his deck from the previous season, though he is never shown using his "Armed Dragon" cards.
In the final season, Chazz plays an "Armed Dragon/Ojama" deck, featuring new Spell and Trap support for both themes.
