King Xerxes I



King Xerxes I was one of the great kings of Persia from the distant past, who now exists as a spirit inside Ryouta Ishida's Millennium Pocket Watch. He only makes appearances in the series to assist Ryouta with small tasks, such as helping him win duels by giving him a winning card or summoning the Egyptian Gods. He also takes over for Ryouta when Ryouta's soul is extracted by the Seal of Oreichalkos. However, as the series progresses through several series, King Xerxes I becomes more involved with the show, and eventually becomes a main character in the fifth series.

King Xerxes I's skill when it comes to both card games and fighting are phenomenal. Xerxes has never lost a confrontation in melee and weapon fighting. As for duels, Xerxes usually wins duels since he takes over for Ryouta to win the duel for him. However, Xerxes has never really played a full duel, unless Ryouta's soul was extracted from Ryouta's body, meaning Xerxes would have to take over.

In the fourth series, he lives in Domino City with the main cast of Yu-Gi-OH and the new cast of characters who are Ryouta's good friends. He once lived with Yugi Moto's game shop but left with Ryouta when Yugi was kicked out. After that, he went to live in a rented mansion with Ryouta Ishida, Scott Carson, Bagna Miyagi, and Rina. In the fourth series, Ryouta is alive once more, but he is not happy with the world he's in now. Xerxes takes a huge interest in Ryouta in this series, since Ryouta is started to be infested by dark thoughts. Xerxes helps to fight off Ryouta's dark side by fighting the dark inside Ryouta's body. Ryouta is then on high surveillance by Xerxes, Scott and Bagna, so they can keep control of Ryouta's dark side, which the group eventually ends up destroying at the end. The fourth and fifth series are the only two of the first five where Xerxes is unattached from Ryouta.

In the final series, the fifth series, Ryouta becomes involved with a new planet, a new girl, and a new enemy from his past. Because of these new changes, Xerxes decides to make an appearance as a main character to talk with and assist Ryouta with problems. He helps Ryouta to defeat all enemies as well as hooking him up with Namida. When Ryouta becomes King of Umona, Xerxes decides that Ryouta doesn't need his help anymore, and decides to go on a journey with his servant, Dmitrius, and Ryouta's brother, Aaron, to find Aaron's friend, Omar, who had disappeared after defeating the final enemy. He is voiced by AthrunZala00.
