The real change, however, happens after meeting Martha and listening to how Satellite resident had to always deal with grim circumstances and adversities on a daily basis which made them more resilient, thus beginning to feel a sense of respect and new outlook on the people he looked down upon.Įventually Trudge truly changes, and becomes and ally and friend to Yusei. His views of Satellite, started to change upon hearing Yusei, being a current Satellite resident was born in the Tops of Neo Domino City and Jack, being the former champion and current resident of Neo Domino City, was born in Satellite. Despite his obsession and disdain for Satellite residents, however, he duels fairly, much unlike his manga counterpart who was more than willing to cheat to get his way (this may symbolize a change of heart on Trudge's outlook, most likely after cheating previously resulted in a Penalty Game with Dark Yugi, although it is not known if these events occurred in this continuity). It has been hinted that Trudge does not come from New Domino which may fuel his views.įollowing his first encounter with Yusei, Trudge became obsessed with defeating him, challenged Yusei to a Duel whenever he had a chance and continuously stalked him to try and arrest him again, as he had both a wounded pride and a desire to get promoted by beating Yusei. Yusei even mentions that he considers Trudge different from the other figures of authority in New Domino. When asked by his superior why he did it, Trudge simply replied, "Well, it is the humanity of a Duelist," showing that he has a good sense of responsibility and duty. Despite his harsh traits, Trudge once paid for a stolen Duel Runner part Rally stole for Yusei out of his own paycheck to compensate it when he held up his end of the bargain to let Rally go if Yusei beat him in a Duel. He is also very ambitious as he wanted to defeat Yusei to achieve a promotion. In the Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime, Trudge is shown to be an arrogant and discriminatory official with heavy prejudices towards the Satellite residents instantly viewing them with disdain and often calling them "Satellite scum". Otherwise it is not disclosed how much he is similar to his manga counterpart. Not much is known of him in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters anime, although he is seen to be physically abusive as he gave both Joey and Tristan a beating and had no qualms beating Yugi as well for trying to defend them. After suffering an accident during a Duel with Yusei, Trudge is left with a scar on his face.
