Weevil's helper was a boy employed by Weevil Underwood ("Insector" Haga in the Japanese and the English manga) to help him cheat in a Duel against Joey Wheeler (Katsuya Jonouchi).

Manga Biography

Haga promised the boy a rare card if he could sneak the card "Parasite Paracide" into Jonouchi's Deck. After trailing Jonouchi for over an hour, the boy finally got a chance when Jonouchi entered a restaurant and took off his Duel Disk at the manager's request. He immediately snatched the Duel Disk and ran out of the restaurant, with Jonouchi in hot pursuit.

Eventually, Jonouchi catches up to the boy, but not before he successfully infects Jonouchi's deck, as per Haga's instructions. The boy then spins a story to Jonouchi about how he was a Battle City contestant that was defeated in his first duel, and had his own Duel Disk and deck stolen by his opponent. Jonouchi falls for the story and lets the boy go, telling him to find the thief so he himself can duel him and win the boy's Duel Disk and deck back.

The boy eventually meets up with Haga and tells him that his plan was a success. An overjoyed Haga gives him a common "Gokibore" card as compensation, making him protest that Haga had promised him a rare card. In response, Haga sprays a can of insecticide in the boy's eyes.

Anime Biography

The boy's motivations and impact on the plot are more or less the same in the anime. Instead of simply stealing Jonouchi/Joey's Duel Disk, however, he claims to be a fan collecting autographs from skilled duelists. He then asks to hold Jonouchi/Joey's Duel Disk, and promptly runs away with it when Joey consents.

In the anime, he is caught by Honda/Tristan instead of Joey himself. During his interactions with Weevil, the latter instead attacks him with a spider-shaped gun that shoots silly string (most likely to prevent children from imitating the manga stunt, as Haga had used easily-acquired, store-bought insecticide).
