Charlie McCay, known as Charlie McCoy in the Japanese version, is a character appearing in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime. He is a gambler, often relying on luck to win.

Voice/Mannerisms

Charlie's catchphrase is "Life is a carnival". He also insists that his luck will only run out when the sun is split in two, a reference to his "Sun Scale" card.

Biography

History

He used to be a friend/assistant of Yuma Tsukumo and Kari Tsukumo's father, Kazuma Tsukumo and considered him to be his idol. At one point, he kissed Kari before leaving (this scene is cut from the dub).

World Duel Carnival

Charlie attended the opening of the World Duel Carnival.

During the tournament, he stole "Number 7: Lucky Straight" from a gallery to test his own luck and strength. He relied heavily on the powers of "Number 7", through which he was able to escape from the Heartland police, steal other cards using powerful gusts of wind, and even take over a monorail. During his Duel against a WDC Duelist, he managed to get six as a die roll result five times, impressing all who were watching with his amazing luck. Astral even commented that he managed to do something with an incredibly small (1 out of 7776 times) chance of taking place. After his victory, he was found by Heartland security, who told him to raise his hands above his head and surrender. However, when it looked like he was about to give himself up, he used Number 7's amazing luck to escape, taking with him many people's cards, including Yuma's "Number 11: Big Eye". After he stole a monorail to get out of the city, he was located by Yuma and Tori Meadows, who informed Kari of his whereabouts.

He started a Duel with Yuma on top of the monorail to allow him to get his card back. He consistently rolled sixes again and increased his Life Points to 100,000 (a record among all characters) with "Take a Chance". However, he lost his luck when "Sun Scale" was destroyed, and lost as a result. After the Duel, he gave back the cards he took, except for "Number 7". This he gave to his niece, May, who is about to undergo a major operation. He told her to believe in Kazuma's spirit of "kattobingu". Afterwards, he kissed Kari again, this time earning a slap (cut from the dub). He then walked away feeling his face (cut also from the dub) and said he is going on another adventure.

Relationships

Kari Tsukumo

Sometime in the past, he kissed Kari, implying that the two had been in some kind of relationship (this also marks the first time in Yu-Gi-Oh! history where a male character kisses a female character on the lips on screen). That scene is shortened in the dub.He later kissed her again after his duel with Yuma, but she slapped him(cut from the dub)and he walked away saying he is going on another adventure. She blushes when they are both alone or when he performs a certain act around her.

Deck

Record

Trivia

• Charlie appears similar to Duke Devlin, as they both use cards whose effects rely on Die Rolls, while also being romantically involved with the sibling of a main character (Duke flirted with Joey Wheeler's sister, Serenity Wheeler.)
• Charlie's Duel against Yuma is similar to Weevil Underwood's second duel against Yugi, taking place on a moving train in danger of derailing/crashing.
• Charlie's right eye is covered, and he's wearing a hat like Jim Crocodile Cook in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.
• His clothing and relationship with the main protagonist of their era is similar to Blister from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.
