Para and Dox are the Paradox Brothers. They are two brothers who work for Pegasus J. Crawford in the Duelist Kingdom arc of Yu-Gi-Oh!. They were also hired by Vellian Crowler to duel and expel both Jaden Yuki and Syrus Truesdale.

They are voiced by Takashi Matsuyama as Para in Yu-Gi-Oh! and then by Eiji Takemoto in Gu-Gi-Oh! GX (both in the original Japanese) and by Hitoshi Nishimura as Dox in both Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX in the original Japanese, while in the English dub, he is voiced by both Marc Thompson in Yu-Gi-Oh! and Eric Stuart in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (the latter who also voiced Seto Kaiba in both of the respective shows).

The Anime[]

The Paradox Brothers are two of Pegasus' eliminators who like to rhyme with each other. Para wears orange and Dox wears green and each brother has a different symbol on his forehead. Dox also speaks in a lower-pitched voice than Para. They duel their opponents in an underground labyrinth in a tag team duel in which if one loses, then they both lose. Their most powerful monster is Gate Guardian, the fusion of Suijin, Kazejin, and Sanga of the Thunder. They dueled Yugi Muto and Joey Wheeler and lost when both their life points went to zero as Gate Guardian was destroyed by Black Skull Dragon, a fusion of Yugi's Summoned Skull and Joey's Red-Eyes Black Dragon.

However, they told Yugi to choose one of two doors. One led to the exit next to Pegasus' castle, and the other led to an endless maze of darkness and despair. Yugi marked two coins with Para and Dox's symbols and told them the coin clenched in his fist is his choice. He revealed Dox's coin, indicating that he chose Dox's door. However, the Paradox Brothers, able to choose which door leads to which path, made it Para's door, but in reality, Yugi expected this - the coin clenched in his fist was for Dox's door, and the one he revealed had Para's symbol on the other side, and so Yugi and the gang escaped the labyrinth.

The Paradox Brothers are never seen following this, except as lost souls in Season 4, Waking the Dragons, alongside the Player Killer of Darkness, Bandit Keith, the Rare Hunter, Pandora the Conjurer, and Yami Marik. As they have never been killed, trapped in the Shadow Realm, or taken by the Orichalcos, it is likely they and the others were just an illusion.

In the Japanese version, the final credits scene shows them dueling Mai Kujaku and Vivian Wong on the Great Wall of China.

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX[]

The Paradox Brothers also made an appearance in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. They were hired by Vellian Crowler so they can duel Jaden and Syrus. If they lose to the Paradox Brothers, they would both get expelled. The Paradox Brothers end up losing to Jaden and Syrus and they stayed at Duel Academy. The fact they appeared in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX reinforces the theory that the lost souls in Waking the Dragons were illusions. And it was also revealed that Pegasus had only fired them and never sent them to the Shadow Realm.

Deck[]

Para and Dox use "Labyrinth" decks, designed to support one another during a Duel. In their Duel against Yugi and Joey in Duelist Kingdom, they were able to change the rules of the game via summoning "Labyrinth Wall", creating a Labyrinth Duel in which Yugi and Joey's Monsters had to navigate a maze in order to attack their opponent's monsters. By fusing "Labyrinth Wall" with "Shadow Ghoul" to Fusion Summon "Wall Shadow", the brothers were able to attack their opponent's monsters from anywhere in the Labyrinth, as could any Monster equipped with "Salamandra"; destroying "Wall Shadow" did not remove the labyrinth, however. Playing "Magical Labyrinth" allowed Para and Dox to rearrange the labyrinth's layout, "Dungeon Worm" could tunnel under the grid, preventing Yugi and Joey's Monsters from attacking it. The Paradox Brothers' signature card is their "Gate Guardian", which can only be summoned by Tributing "Sanga of the Thunder", "Kazejin" and "Suijin".

In their Duel against Jaden and Syrus, the brothers play a more convetional Duel, though they still focus on summoning "Gate Guardian". Upon "Gate Guardian's" destruction, the brothers use "Dark Element" to summon an even more powerful monster, "Dark Guardian", at the cost of half their LP.
