Zigfried von Schroeder

Zigfried von Schroeder is Seto Kaiba's rival. He looks slightly similar to Pegasus, except with pink hair. He appeared in the first half of Yu-Gi-Oh's Season 5, Grand Championship. He speaks with a German accent.

Zigfried claimed that Gozaburo, Kaiba's stepfather, stole Kaiba Corp from him. As revenge, Zigfried attempted to sabotage Kaiba's Grand Championship at Kaiba Corp. First, he set a computer to trap everyone inside, but the computer was defeated by Yugi. Zigfried entered the tournament as Zigfried Lloyd, and easily defeated Weevil Underwood and Rex Raptor using his Valkyries. He then dueled Joey and won. As he was about to face his younger brother Leon in the final round, Kaiba realized his true identity and dueled him. Kaiba won, but Zigfried still had his main plan up his sleeve; while Leon was dueling Yugi in the finals, Zigfried had him play an evil card called the Golden Castle of Stromberg, which was infected with a virus that deleted Kaiba's data. Leon, who had no desire to willingly participare in evil plans, and Yugi were able to stop it during their duel. After Yugi defeated Leon, Kaiba revealed that all his information was saved on a backup, and was never lost. Zigfried was utterly defeated, and Leon convinced him to make his corporation as good as Kaiba's without doing anything evil.
