Biography

In the timeline of the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX anime, Chazz is at first a peerless duelist believing himself to be the most elite duelist at Duel Academy, who initially lives in the Obelisk Blue dormitory. He was formerly the leader of Team Elite until his defeat at the hands of Jaden Yuki. Being the youngest of three brothers, with his siblings Slade and Jagger heads of the political and financial worlds, respectively, Chazz is pressured into becoming the head of the dueling world to ensure the superiority of the Princeton Corporation ("Manjoume Group" in the original Japanese language version) worldwide.^[2].

Despite having access to rare cards provided by Vellian Crowler, Chazz is defeated by Jaden early on in the first year. He is then overwhelmed by Bastion Misawa, and eventually became so dispirited and confused from his losses that he left Duel Academy to enter North Academy. There, he defeated the top duelists and became "king" of the school.^[3] Dr. Vellian Crowler, known in Japan as Cronos de Medici ); sometimes spelt Chronos de Medici, is a fictional character in the anime series Yu-Gi-Oh!

In the latter case, he also acquires the moniker "Manjoume Thunder" (万丈目サンダー, Manjōme Sandā^?). Due to his insistence that he be addressed respectfully, he often finds himself correcting others who merely call him "Manjoume" by saying "Manjōme-san da!" ("It's Manjoume-san!"; "-san" being a Japanese honorific). The students of North School, however, mistook the title as "Manjoume Thunder" ("sandā" being a Japanese pronunciation of the word "thunder"), and the name stuck upon his return to Duel Academia. In the English version, he also often refers to himself in the third person as "The Chazz".

He was welcomed back to Duel Academy, but forced to restart his studies out of the Slifer Red dormitory. From the ordeal, Chazz obtained a Duel Monster spirit partner in the form of Ojama Yellow.

Due to his dueling skills, Chazz is chosen as one of the seven Key Keepers charged with keeping the Shadow Riders from reviving the Sacred Beasts, and later faces Slade in a Duel to determine ownership of Duel Academy. In the chain of events leading up to the Duel, Chazz finds Ojama Black and Ojama Green, both of which join Ojama Yellow as his spirit partners.

During the second year, Chazz duels Sartorius for the opportunity to rise to the Pro League, but loses.^[5] As a result, he joins the Society of Light, acting as Sartorius' means of converting the top students of Obelisk Blue and Ra Yellow. Sporting a new White Knight deck given to him by Sartorius, Chazz would soon duel Jaden, who had recovered the Ojama Trio for temporary use in his own deck. Chazz eventually regained his senses, tearing off his white coat to don his signature black one once more. He retrieved the Ojama Trio to destroy White Knight Lord, the card representing Sartorius' evil, but in doing so, willingly lost the duel to an effect of White Knight Lord. In the Japanese version, following the battle, he dons his former outfit, revived as "Black Thunder" (ブラックサンダー, Burakku Sandā^?), relinquishing the "White Thunder" (ホワイトサンダー, Howaito Sandā^?) nickname he had been using up until this point, though others continue calling him by his first nickname in the series.

With the assistance of the remaining Obelisk Blue students, Chazz takes on the Society of Light's members to make amends. They successfully return most of them to their former selves, releasing Duel Academy from the Society's grip, but before Chazz is declared champion of the GX tournament, he is challenged by Blair Flannigan, who had come back to Duel Academy in hopes of officially entering Slifer Red.

In the manga, Chazz was an elite duelist in the junior tournaments and won countless trophies. However, upon entry to Duel Academy, rumors circulated that he was allowed entrance only because of his family's wealth. Determined to prove them wrong in a Duel with Jaden, Chazz buried the card containing his Duel Spirit and dueled without it. However, upon realizing Jaden had a spirit partner as well and used it to defeat him, Chazz sees his partner watching the Duel in spite of being abandoned. Chazz thus resolves to defeat Jaden with his partner, Dragon, Light and Dark.

Deck

Chazz originally plays a Chthonian (Hell) deck, but after being given a number of rare cards by Crowler, he runs a VtoZ deck focusing on summoning and combining the five eponymous cards. Losing all his cards while stranded, he enters North Academy with a deck of cards he found on the grounds around the school, focusing on a "One Turn Kill" strategy. During a school duel against Jaden, he is given North Academy's prized Armed Dragon cards that grow stronger as he destroys an opponent's monster, and against his brother Slade, he uses a deck with monsters with 0 attack points. In the second year, his deck is powered up after receiving Beetron cards from Sartorius based on his VtoZ cards, and gradually evolves to reflect his deepening obsession with the White thematic. Ultimately, however, Chazz will often bring together elements from all his previous decks when dueling, with the Ojama Trio as his trump cards. The following is a list of notable cards in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game. ...
