No, Chazz, I'm predicting. I have the ability to see events before they occur, and in this card I see your destiny. You hold a great deal of anger inside. Am I right, Chazz?
~ Sartorius Kumar to Chazz.

Takuma Saiou, also known as Sartorius Kumar, is the main antagonist of the second season of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. He is a fortune-teller with dual personalities. Being under the influence of an alien force, Saiou is poised to remake the world in the image most befitting to the extraterrestrial radiance within him.

He was voiced by Takehito Koyasu in Japanese (who also voiced Dio Brando) and the late Maddie Blaustein in English. In the English version of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, he is voiced by Daniel J. Edwards.

Biography[]

Past[]

In the past, Sartious and his sister Sarina had the ability to see into the future, resulting in them being ostracized by others and eventually running away from home. Saiou had later met Aster Phoenix and formed a friendship with him. At the Pro League champion, Saiou was taken over by the Light of Destruction when The D came into contact with him. From then on, Saiou became focused on changing the world and ridding it of darkness. He also formed the Society of Light in his efforts to expedite his plans.

Season 2[]

Sartoirus appeared on Duel Academia in his hopes of completing his plans. He first planned to have Jaden Yuki lose to Edo in their second duel so that Jaden would be placed under his control. However, Judai was able to resist the Light of Destruction's influence. Saiou later arrives at Duel Academy meeting Vellian Crowler and Jean-Louis Bonaparte and duels Chazz Princeton and defeats him; as a result of the defeat, Chazz joined the Society of Light.

Saatorius later finds out that Jaden is able to defy his destiny and the fortunes when he thought that Jaden would lose in a duel to Edo. The members of the Society of Light began to increase subsequently when Chazz defeated his fellow students in duels, eventually taking over the entire Obelisk Blue dorm (repainting it white and renaming it Obelisk White) and bringing Alexis Rhodes into the Society's ranks. Sartoris eventually arrived at Duel Academy and dueled Tyranno Hassleberry, interested to see the bond he shared between Aster and Jaden. Although he defeated Tyranno in a duel, he did not become a member of the Society of Light due to his dino DNA. Subsequently Saiou enrolled as a transfer student at Duel Academy, moving into the Obelisk White dorm

Saiou's sister, Mizuchi, also appeared and she talked about their troubled past and Saiou's turn to the dark side. As the Society of Light began to expand, Saiou had trouble controlling himself against the influence of the Light of Destruction. He also defeated Prince Ojin in a duel and gained access on a satellite that would help him in his plan to take over the world. He later gave Judai and Edo the keys as a way to prevent himself from carrying out his goal. He also got a hold of Alexis Rhodes and used her in an effort to get the key back from Jaden but it failed. Fed up by this loss, Sartorius ordered many members from the Society of Light to duel Jaden and anyone else who were with him.

Aster wanted to go after Saiou. But when he was about to give Saiou one of the keys to the satellite, Judai appeared and told him the truth about Saiou. He advised him on dueling him instead to get the key. However, Edo lost the duel and Saiou gained the key. Judai then duels Saiou in a final battle to save the world. As the duel went on, Saiou ordered Prince Ojin to prepare the satellite. Ultimately, Saiou lost his duel to Judai and he was released from the influence of the light, but found that he had lost his ability to see into the future. He later thanked Judai and Edo for helping him get passed his pain and was reunited with his sister.

Season 4[]

Saiou later returned to Duel Academia with Kagemaru to inform Judai about the new issue that awaits them on the island. They were caught off guard by Trueman who blackmailed Saiou to duel Judai to save his sister from the World of Darkness. As he dueled Judai, he reflects on his own responsibility to save his sister from the World of Darkness. He lost in his duel against Judai and was sent to the World of Darkness. With the defeat of Nightshroud, Saiou and everyone who were sent to the World of Darkness returned. At the end of the series, Saiou attended Judai's graduation.

Deck[]

Sartorius plays an "Arcana Force" deck, with Monsters based off the Major Arcana and Spells and Traps based off the Minor Aracana. His cards have the unique playstyle in that his opponent decides whether the card lands right-side up or upside down, which dictates their effect, symbolically allowing his opponents to decide their fate (in the TCG/OCG, the special effect is decided via a coin toss). During his duels with Aster and Jaden, Sartorius forgoes allowing his opponents to decide the effect of his cards and instead predicts what position they will land on. His signature cards are "Arcana Force XXI - The World", "Arcana Force XV - The Fiend", "Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler", and "Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler".

During his second Duel with Jaden, Sartorius utilizes a Lockdown/Mill strategy that symbolizes his changed view on destiny, using a combination of "Arcana Force 0 - The Fool" (which he secretly slips into Jaden's deck), "Tour of Doom" and "Sowing of the Fool". By slipping "The Fool" into Jaden's deck and forcing him to Summon it, Sartorius is able to decide the effects of his cards without relying on chance; he uses this to ensure that "Tour of Doom" prevents Jaden from Summoning monsters without having to risk himself suffering from the same effect, while "Sowing of the Fool" forces his opponent to discard cards from his deck. With Jaden unable to even switch "The Fool's" battle position from ATK to DEF, Sartorious quickly gains the upper hand, but Jaden successfully beats this strategy and turn the tables by using the effect of "Miracle Flipper" to force Sartorius into destroying "The Fool".

Trivia[]

  • In the 4Kids dubbed version, Saiou wanted to brainwash everyone with the light so that he can rid them of corruption. In the original Japanese version, Saiou wanted to kill off Earth's inhabitants with the light so that he could restore balance to the universe as a whole.
  • In the English dub, Sartorius' voice and mannerisms are based off Anthony Hopkins' portrayal of Hannibal Lecter.
  • Like Dartz, Sartorius is the second main villain who was brainwashed by an evil alien force.
