==Character designDesign=====Appearance===[[ImageFile:Saiou Linework.jpg|thumbnail|180pxthumb|left|Sartorius' s design incorporates multiple layers of clothing and a wide range of expressions. Depicted here is the fortune-teller from front, side, and rear alongside views of his head from different angles.]] Sartorius's character design was overseen by Kenichi Hara. His usual outfit consists of the standard Obelisk Blue uniform with a raised and buckled collar and matching cut-offs for his arms and legs. A Deck box is strapped to his right leg, presumably to house his regular tarot Deck. His blue hair is sectioned in two layers, the layer closest to his face a lighter shade of blue than the one behind it, which generally flows as a single unit. Directly above his nose is another section of hair, colored grayish white, and he also wears earrings and a pair of ornaments on either side of his forehead. He carries an [[Academia Disk]] on his left hand despite his initial preference of Dueling on a table, even claiming to have never used a Duel Disk before prior to Dueling [[Tyranno Hassleberry|Hassleberry]].

His natural complexion is flesh-tone, ; however, with his evil personality in dominance, his skin takes on a more pallid quality. Furthermore, his eyes are more sinister and glazed over by light. When completely corrupted by the [[The Light of Destruction]], his hair becomes wild, his face inhumanely twisted, and his teeth elongated.

==Character biography=Voice and mannerisms===In the dub, Sartorius, known in Japan as Takuma Saiou (斎王琢磨 Saiō Takuma?), 's voice is reminiscent of a fictional character in the anime series Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX in Japan)young [[wikipedia:Hannibal Lecter|Hannibal Lecter]].

In the English version, Sartorius He is voiced by Maddie Blausteinalso very persuasive, while Takehito Koyasu (older) and Mayumi Yusa (younger) take the role able to find each person's character weak spots in the order to do his bidding. His original series counterpart occasionally replaces certain Japanese version.A fortune-teller words with dual personalities under the influence of an alien forceanglicisms, Sartorius serves as the main antagonist most common being his substitution of the series' second seasonwords "shōkan" 「召喚」 and "hatsudō" 「発動」 with "play, poised " an English equivalent to remake the world in the image most befitting the extraterrestrial radiance within himboth "summon" and "activate," respectively.

Sartorius is a mysterious figure introduced in the second year who is [[Aster Phoenix]]'s (Ed Phoenix) manager, and the leader of the [[Society of Light]]. On the surface, the aim of Sartorius and his organization appears to be world domination starting with Duel Academy (Duel Academia) via expansion of their syndicate, but the man's gravest concerns lie in putting his stalled Wheel of Fate (a metaphor for his fate) back ===Abilities===His primary power was seeing into motion through the powers of [[Jaden Yuki]] (Judai Yuki) and his childhood friend, Aster, as means of escaping the destructive future that destiny had set for him. Although this goal was always on his mind, he was pushed towards an ultimate motive of eradicating with the "age aid of darkness" that had befallen the planet. It was his task to blanket the globe in light, destroy ittarot Deck, and kill all its inhabitants to restore balance to its imperfect state and create the world (or on a greater scale, the universe) anew. As children, Sartorius and divination technique he shares with his sister ''', [[Society of Light#Sarina|Sarina]]''' (Mizuchi Saiou) were shunned and humiliated by others out of fear of their abilities .

This provoked (like it had in The D) an onset of [[dissociative identity disorder]], forcing Sartorius to contend with a dominant evil persona. The card would disappear from do his possession shortly thereafterbidding.

Sartorius wields supernatural powers, including the ability to insinuate his spiritual energy into inanimate objects (as he did with Aster's deck), as well as other people. He can also temporarily render others motionless either from a distance or with a single touch. His primary power, however, is seeing into the future with the aid of his tarot deck, a divination technique he shares with his sister, Sarina (Mizuchi Saiou), though she instead uses mirrors to channel her powers. He is also a master manipulator, able to say exactly what is needed to be said to get anyone he or his associates in loses all these abilities after the Society comes into contact with to do his bidding. In addition to these skills, Sartorius' "other self" displays a form of light-based telekinesissecond season.

In the English version, ==Biography=====History===Sartorius' voice is reminiscent of a young Hannibal Lecter, while his original series counterpart occasionally replaces certain Japanese words with anglicisms, mysterious figure introduced in the second year as [[Aster Phoenix]]'s manager and the most common being his substitution leader of the words "shōkan" (召喚) and "hatsudō" (発動) with "play," an English equivalent to both "summon" and "activate," respectively[[Society of Light]]. In his debut duelOn the surface, the aim of Sartorius set and his sights on organization appears to be world domination starting with [[Chazz PrincetonDuel Academy]] (Jun Manjoume), frightening via expansion of their syndicate but the man's gravest concerns lie in putting his opponent by displaying his ability to see straight stalled Wheel of Fate back into motion through the powers of [[Jaden Yuki]] and his own cardschildhood friend, Aster, and claiming as a means of escaping the destructive future that destiny had set for him. Although this goal was always on his mind, he already knew was pushed towards an ultimate motive of eradicating the outcome "age of their battle from darkness" that had befallen the startplanet.

He challenged Tyranno to The siblings shared a duel that he assured would not force him to become one close relationship which extended into adolescence and Sartorius searched for hope of escaping his Society's members. Although Hassleberry was overwhelmed by Arcana Force VIII - The Strength, which turned his own power against him, Sartorius was unable to make him join the Society as secretly intendedruinous destiny in a young Aster.

At the end of episode 73, it was announced that Sartorius would be placed in Obelisk Blue as a first-year (third-year in the Japanese version) transfer student, making him one step closer to taking over Duel Academy. By episode 79, Sarina reveals the troubled past that she and her brother share. When the two were younger, they were shunned and humiliated by others (even driven to run away from home) out of fear of their abilities to tell the future, but this fact only strengthened their bond. Sarina emphasized that her brother had once been a kind and caring person, and that it was because of a Hero card shown to him by a guest duelist that he began acting with evil intentions. Aster believes that it was most likely the Destiny Hero stolen at the time of his father's kidnapping (murder in the Japanese version), and his suspicions are later confirmed, as Fearing the corrupt "Ultimate D-Destiny Card" surfaces as a carrier of , the energy that infected both Sartorius and Pro League king, DD. Sarina continues, stating that champion ([[The D]]) sought the card is no longer in her brother's possession, as it disappeared shortly thereafter. Upon hearing of his sister's failure to deal with Jaden kind and Aster, caring Sartorius displays the first signs of dissociative identity disorder; within for guidance but unintentionally imbued him, the true Sartorius contends with the dominant evil persona1 brought on by the will of the a dangerous alien energy known as the Surge '''Dark Light''' / '''Light of Light (光の波動 Destruction''' 「光の波動 / 破滅の光 ''Hikari no Hadō) / Hametsu no Hikari''」 known by the latter name '''Surge of Light''' or '''Light of Ruin (破滅の光 ''' 「破滅の光, ''Hametsu no Hikari).

With Ojin's defeat, the wealthy duelist obediently relinquishes the briefcase containing the control switch for his laser satellite, Sora, and the two keys for its activation. In the English version, he planned wants to control see if he was the minds of one. Jaden wins the Earth's inhabitants, making them forget about things like corruption, greed and violence, while in the Japanese version he planned Duel mostly because Sartorius told Aster to destroy lose the Earth instead, killing all its inhabitants to restore balance to its imperfect stateDuel on purpose.

In order to prevent his evil side from instigating world destruction, Sartorius approaches Jaden and Later after Aster, giving them the keys. He uses his defeated [[Mind ControllingZane Truesdale]] powers on Jaden to make sure in a Pro League match, Sartorius tells Aster that he never returns the key. Shortly after this the evil Sartorious uses his mind control abilities on [[Alexis Rhodes]] and brainwashes her turning her cold and heartless.

Furious over the fact that his plans have been delayed, his evil personality sends duelist after duelist to contend with Deck was better than Jaden, but is unable to recover his key's. He is eventually sought by Aster in episode 100, who breaks into Obelisk Blue to find him in Sartorius secretly implanted a part of the Society Light of LightDestruction into Aster's private duel field. It is revealed that Aster made a promise Deck to his friend when they were young to save him from his destiny of becoming a destroyer, and that DD was indeed the visitor insure that imbued him with the Light of Ruin, but merely by accident, as he came before the fortune teller due to his fear of the corrupt Ultimate D-Card.

Although Aster makes a comeback with timely help from Sartorius' good-hearted alter egoJaden loses, the Light he is blinded of Ruin unleashes Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler his own cards due to his power to end the dueldefy destiny which left Sartorius puzzled.

Beginning in episode 102In his debut Duel, Sartorius set his sights on [[Chazz Princeton]], frightening his opponent by displaying his ability to see straight through his own cards and Jaden face one another to determine claiming that he already knew the fate outcome of their battle from the worldstart. Similar to the preceding match with AsterHe summoned "[[Arcana Force XII - The Hangman (anime)|Arcana Force XII - The Hangman]]", a card most dreaded by Chazz for it represented himself, the divinerwithout so much as a flick of his wrist. Chazz's cards continue stagnant fate was brought to stop their own rotations.

With the combined efforts Society of Elemental Hero Neos, Tyranno, and the returning Sarina, the weapon is dispatched, and Jaden defeats Sartorius, sealing away the Light of Ruin. Finally free from his fate of ruin and the burden of seeing into the future, Sartorius thanks both Jaden and Aster for their kindness, and is reunited with his sister.

== Card List == After sensing something, Sartorius plays a Tarot deck, composed largely of Arcana Force monsters based off the Major Arcana, with Spells tells Aster that he senses that there is someone who can defy destiny and Traps based off that the Minor Arcanaanswer can be found at Duel Academy. His cards have the unique ability Aster was surprised at going back to Duel Academy, but decides to appear in either upright do so(normal) or reversed (upside-down) positions, which dictates their effects. When activatedIn the dub, Sartorius' cards rotate, tells Aster that he senses a threat and it Aster believes that the threat is up to against him). Aster would Duel Jaden(who has acquired the opponent to decide when to end power of the rotation, in turn deciding his/her own fate.

Subsequently, Sartorius learned that [[Tyranno Hassleberry]] shared a connection with Jaden and Aster in terms of their power to influence his fate. He challenged Tyranno to a Duel that he assured would not force him to become one of his Society's members. Although Tyranno was overwhelmed by "[[Arcana Force VIII - The Strength (anime)|Arcana Force VIII - The Strength]]", which turned his own power against him, Sartorius was unable to make him join the Society as he had secretly intended. At the end of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 073|episode 73]], it was announced that Sartorius would be placed in [[Obelisk Blue]] as a first-year (third-year in the Japanese version) transfer student, making him one step closer to taking over Duel Academy. By [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 079|episode 79]], Sarina reveals the troubled past that she and her brother share.

Upon hearing of his sister's failure to deal with Jaden and Aster, Sartorius displays the first signs of dissociative identity disorder; within him, the true Sartorius contends with the dominant evil personality brought on by the will of the Light of Destruction. Sartorius selects [[Prince Ojin]] as his first opponent in the [[Genex Tournament]], wishing to obtain the destructive satellite technology of the prince's [[Misgarth|country]]. He predicted that the Duel would end before his first turn came while his opponent believed that he would be the one to claim victory in one turn. Playing only three cards during his opponent's first turn, Sartorius reduced Ojin's Life Points to zero. He earned the title of the first Duelist in the history of the anime to have ever performed, as [[Bastion Misawa]] called it, a "[[Zero Turn Kill]]", i.e. winning the Duel without even starting his turn. With Ojin's defeat, the wealthy Duelist obediently relinquished the briefcase containing the control switch for his laser satellite and the two [[SORA's keys|keys]] for its activation. In the dub, Sartorius planned to control the minds of the Earth's inhabitants, making them forget about things like corruption, greed and violence, while in the Japanese version he planned to destroy the Earth instead, killing all its inhabitants to restore balance to its imperfect state.  In order to prevent his evil side from instigating world destruction, Sartorius approaches Jaden and Aster and gives them the keys.

Furious over the fact that his plans have been delayed, his evil personality sends Duelist after Duelist to contend with Jaden but is unable to recover his key. [[File:Saiou GX.jpg|thumb|Sartorius possessed by [[The Light of Destruction]].]] He is eventually sought out by Aster in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 100|episode 100]], who breaks into the [[Obelisk Blue]] dorm to find him in the Society of Light's private Duel field. It is revealed that Aster made a promise to his friend when they were young to save him from his destiny of becoming a destroyer and that [[The D]] was indeed the visitor that imbued him with the Light of Destruction, but merely by accident, as he came before the fortune teller due to his fear of the corrupt [[Ultimate D-Card]].

Recognizing the present Sartorius as an impostor posing as his lost companion, he struggles against the Arcana Force monsters who deny him control over his fate by stopping their own rotations in their master's favor. Although Aster makes a comeback with timely help from Good Sartorius , [[The Light of Destruction]] unleashes "[[Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler (anime)|Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler]]" to end the Duel. Afterward, [[The Light of Destruction]] and Jaden face one another to determine the fate of the world. Similar to the preceding match with Aster, the diviner's cards continue to stop their own rotations. Having obtained both keys to the satellite due to a blunder on Jaden's part, Evil Sartorius uses his mind powers and sends [[Prince Ojin|Ojin]] to arm the laser satellite while he keeps Jaden distracted. With the combined efforts of [[Elemental Hero Neos (anime)|Elemental Hero Neos]], [[Tyranno Hassleberry|Hassleberry]], and the returning Sarina, the weapon is dispatched and Jaden defeats Evil Sartorius, sealing away the Light of Destruction. Finally free from his fate of ruin and the burden of seeing into the future, Sartorius thanks both Jaden and Aster for their kindness and is reunited with his sister. The two are then transported to [[KaibaCorp]] hospital to recuperate. === Spell Cards =Darkness====* [[VisionFile:Saiou_season4.jpg|thumb|left|Sartorius's rematch against Jaden]] * Sartorius returns to Duel Academy with [[Monster ReincarnationKagemaru]] to tell Jaden that they have sensed a crisis that might happen somewhere down the road. They also convince Jaden (who is planning to leave Duel Academy) that he should not leave the island because they sense the interdimensional energy that builds up and is released in the area around Duel Academy being the cause of all the odd incidents.  The meeting is cut short when [[Trueman]] appears, threatening the three. Sartorius and Kagemaru escape by helicopter while Jaden Duels Trueman. Later on, he is blackmailed by Trueman into challenging Jaden to a rematch in order to rescue his sister from the world of Darkness. Sartorius rescues Jaden from [[Trueman|multiple clones of Jaden and Axel]] in [[Domino City]] where he sets the place where his Duel against Jaden will occur. In the middle of the Duel, his eyes begin to water and he tells Jaden that he lost his [[Sarina|sister]] to the [[World of Darkness]], saying that he is no longer at peace and that he had lost his ability to see the future. Originally, he didn't believe Jaden should have the responsibility of saving his sister because of his attitude when they met previously. Sarina would later tell Jaden that he must defeat Sartorius, so she can reach out to him. Near the end of the Duel, Sartorius releases "[[Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler (anime)|Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler]]" but Jaden was able to win by destroying "[[Arcana Force 0 - The Fool (anime)|Arcana Force 0 - The Fool]]". After Jaden defeats Sartorius a second time, Sartorius, who is rejoined with Sarina, leaves Jaden the burden of saving his sister and the people already trapped in the world of Darkness before joining with them. He and Sarina are revived when Jaden defeats Nightshroud. After that, he was present at Jaden'Reincarnation s graduation ceremony.{{-|left}}==Tarot readings=={{Main|Arcana Force Tarot readings}}Sartorius often reads Tarot cards, which dictate the course of the Deadhis actions, using certain cards to represent other individuals. ==Deck==Sartorius uses an '''"[[Arcana Force]]" Deck''', based off the Major Arcana, with [[Spell Card|Spells]] and [[Trap Card|Traps]] based on the Minor Arcana to complement his monsters. His cards have the unique ability to appear in either upright (normal) * or reversed (upside-down) positions, which dictates their [[effect]]s. When [[Monster Rebornactivate]] d, Sartorius's cards rotate and it is up to the opponent to decide when to end the rotation, in turn deciding his/her own fate. (In the ''Raise DeadTCG''/''OCG'', this "position" is represented by a coin toss.)The design of cards in the "Arcana Force" series has links to the Cthulhu Mythos. In the Japanese version the names of the "Arcana Force" monsters are separated by underscores instead of hyphens. * Sartorius later utilizes a new [[Lockdown]]/[[Mill]] strategy which reflects his changed philosophy on destiny revolving around the combination of "[[Arcana Force 0 - The Fool (anime)|Arcana Force 0 - The Fool]]", "[[Tour of Doom (anime)|Tour of Doom]]", and "[[Suit Sowing of Sword Xthe Fool]] * ". By slipping "The Fool" into [[Selection Jaden Yuki|Jaden]]'s Deck, it enables Sartorius to choose which effects of Fateany other "[[Arcana Force]] * " monsters activate without relying on chance. Through this he can safely use the effect of "Tour of Doom", which has an equal chance of preventing either player from Summoning a monster during their [[Future Visionturn]] (, to shut out his opponent's ability to Summon monsters entirely. In addition, "Sowing of the Fool" gives Sartorius the ability to discard cards from his opponent's Deck. The use of "The Fool" in his rematch with Jaden is significant because during the ''Vision Society of a Future WorldLight'' arc, Jaden's actions in Sartorius's predictions are determined by the Major Arcana card called "[[wikipedia:The Fool (Tarot Card) |The Fool]]". {{Decklist|Arcana Force Deck|effect monsters =* [[Pentacle of AceArcana Force I - The Magician (anime)|Arcana Force I - The Magician]] * [[Necro SacrificeArcana Force III - The Empress (anime)|Arcana Force III - The Empress]] * [[Intervention of FateArcana Force IV - The Emperor (anime)|Arcana Force IV - The Emperor]] * [[Arcana Force VI - The Lovers (''An Intervention of Destiny''anime)|Arcana Force VI - The Lovers]]* [[Ace of SwordArcana Force VII - The Chariot (anime)|Arcana Force VII - The Chariot]] * [[Reverse RebornArcana Force VIII - The Strength (anime)|Arcana Force VIII - The Strength]] * [[Arcana Force XII - The Sky LordHangman (anime)|Arcana Force XII - The Hangman]] * [[Arcana Force XIV - Temperance (''anime)|Arcana Force XIV - Temperance]]* [[Arcana Force XV - The Heaven's Road''Fiend (anime) |Arcana Force XV - The Fiend]]* [[Divination of FateArcana Force XVIII - The Moon (anime)|Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon]] * [[Arcana Force XXI - The World (''Foresight of Fate''anime)|Arcana Force XXI - The World]]* [[Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler (anime)|Arcana Force EX - The Light BarrierDark Ruler]] * [[Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler (''anime)|Arcana Force EX - The Bounds of Light'') Ruler]]* [[Cup Knight of Pentacles]]|spells =* [[Aceof Sword]] * [[Arcanatic Doomscythe]] * [[Cup of Ace (''Arcanatic Deathscythe''anime)|Cup of Ace]]* [[Divination of Fate]]* [[Future Vision]]* [[Intervention of Fate]]* [[Light Barrier (anime)|Light Barrier]]

On the contrary, Minor Arcana defines supporting details that aren't apparent, so it is applied to the concept of trap and spell cards.

Victory from surrender (Chazz admits that he still wants to defeat Jaden, and by joining the Society of Light, he has the chance to do so). Sacrifice for others. * VS Tyranno Arcana Force I - The Magician Skilled, able to make things happen. * VS Tyranno Future Vision Sartorius saw that Tyranno's fate was intertwined closely with his affinity for his dinosaurs. * VS Tyranno Pentacle of Ace Trust (Tyranno's trust in his companions). * VS Tyranno Arcana Force VII - The Chariot Conviction, patience, hard work. Powerful forces of the interior (Tyranno's dinosaur DNA) and exterior (Tyranno's friendships). * VS Tyranno Suit of Sword X Reference to episode 64, dueling against Syrus (Sho Marufuji), Tyranno allowed himself to be defeated after he witnessed Syrus' devotion to Jaden. * VS Tyranno Ace of Wand Courage, personal power. * VS Tyranno Necro Sacrifice Granted Tyranno a monster.

Facing the light of truth. pages}}*VS Jaden The Bounds of Light The end of the Fool's journey, congregating at the World's completeness. The essential human need for destruction is made clear, and the cycle of destruction (the universe is born, destroyed, born again, destroyed...) comes full circle. A perfect universe can only be forged if the presently imperfect universe is filled with light, and the world returned to its white state at origin.{{Characters/GX/Anime}}
