'''Sartorius''', known in Japan as '''Takuma SaiouSaio''' 「斎王琢磨, (斎王 琢磨 ''Saiō Takuma''), serves as the main antagonist during the second season ''[[Society of Light (arc)|Society of Light]]'' arc in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]''anime, but becomes an ally to the protagonists after thathis defeat. He is a fortune-teller with dual personalities and, under the influence of an alien force [[The Light of Destruction]], he's was poised to remake the world in the image most befitting to the extraterrestrial radiance within him. Parallels can be drawn between him and [[Dartz]], the antagonist of Season 4 of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime|second series anime]], in the sense that they are both influenced by another force which wishes to destroy the world, and are ultimately saved from it by the protagonistentity.
==Design==
===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]].
Interestingly, Sartorius' character design was overseen by Kenichi Hara. His usual outfit consists of the standard donned his Obelisk Blue 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 well before enrolling 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 Academy-issued [[Duel Disk#Academy Duel Disk|Duel Disk]] on his left hand despite his initial preference of dueling on a table.
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 Light of Destruction]], his hair becomes wild, his face inhumanely twisted, and his teeth elongated.
 
===Voice and mannerisms===
In the dub, Sartorius's voice is reminiscent of a young [[wikipedia:Hannibal Lecter|Hannibal Lecter]]. Because of his ability to see the future through his tarot cards, his attitude is calm as everything around is predicted from him. He is also very persuasive, able to find each person's character weak spots in order to do his bidding. His original series counterpart occasionally replaces certain Japanese words with anglicisms, the most common being his substitution of the words "shōkan" 「召喚」 and "hatsudō" 「発動」 with "play," an English equivalent to both "summon" and "activate," respectively.
 
===Abilities===
His primary power was seeing into the future with the aid of his tarot Deck, a divination technique he shares with his sister, [[Sarina]]. He is also a master manipulator who is able to say exactly what is needed to be said to get anyone he or his associates in the Society comes into contact with to do his bidding.
 
Sartorius wields dark, supernatural powers given to him by the Light of Destruction, including the ability to materialize Duel Monster effects, embed his power into Duel Monster cards, as well as other people, putting them under his control. He can also ward off weak spirits, cast illusions, and temporarily render others immobile. In addition to these skills, Sartorius's "other self" can use light to blast objects and perform telekinesis on them.
 
He loses all these abilities after the second season.
==Biography==
===History===Sartorius is a mysterious figure introduced in the second year as [[Aster Phoenix]]'s manager, and the leader of the [[The Society of Light]]. On the surface, the aim of Sartorius and his organization appears to be world domination starting with [[Duel Academy]] via expansion of their syndicate, but the man's gravest concerns lie in putting his stalled Wheel of Fate back into motion through the powers of [[Jaden Yuki]] and his childhood friend, Aster, as a 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 the "age of darkness" that had befallen the planet. It was his task to blanket the globe in light, destroy it, and kill all its inhabitants in order to restore balance to its imperfect state and create the world or on a greater scale, the universe, anew.
[[File:LightofRuin!Saiou.jpg|thumb|left|Sartorius being infected by the Light of Destruction]]As children, Sartorius and his sister [[Sarina]] were shunned and humiliated by others out of fear of their abilities to tell the future, and driven to run ran away from home. The siblings shared a close relationship which extended into adolescence, and Sartorius searched for hope of escaping his ruinous destiny in a young Aster. [[Image:LightofRuin!Saiou.jpg|thumb|200px|Sartorius being infected by the Light of Destruction.]]
Fearing the corrupt "Ultimate Destiny Card"," the to-be-Pro League king champion ([[The D]] ) sought the kind and caring Sartorius for guidance, but accidentally unintentionally imbued him with the will of a dangerous alien energy known as the '''Dark Light''' / '''Light of 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, ''Hametsu no Hikari''」 in the Japanese version, which had taken up residence in the card. Like it had in The D, it provoked an onset of dissociative identity disorder, forcing Sartorius to contend with a dominant evil persona. The card would disappear from his possession shortly thereafter.{{-|left}}===Yu-Gi-Oh! GX=======Society of Light====Sartorius tells Aster to go after and Duel Jaden as he wants to see if he was the one. Jaden wins the Duel mostly because Sartorius told Aster to lose the Duel on purpose.
Later after Aster defeated [[Zane Truesdale]] in a Pro League match, Sartorius wields supernatural powers, including the ability to insinuate his spiritual energy into inanimate objects as tells Aster that he did with must Duel Jaden again and Asteragrees mostly because he believes that his [[HERO|Hero]] Deck was better than Jaden's Deck, as well as other people. He can also temporarily render others motionless either from Sartorius secretly implanted a distance or with a single touch. His primary power, however, is seeing part of the Light of Destruction into Aster's Deck to insure that the future with the aid Light of Destruction will place Jaden under its control upon his tarot Deckdefeat. Although Jaden loses, a divination technique he shares with his sister, [[Sarina]], 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 blinded of his associates in the Society comes into contact with own cards due to do his bidding. In addition power to these skills, defy destiny which left Sartorius' "other self" displays a form of light-based telekinesispuzzled.
In his debut duelDuel, Sartorius set his sights on [[Chazz Princeton]], frightening his opponent by displaying his ability to see straight through his own cards, and claiming that he already knew the outcome of their battle from the start. He summoned "[[Arcana Force XII - The Hangman (anime)|Arcana Force XII - The Hangman]]", a card most dreaded by Chazz for it represented himself, without so much as a flick of his wrist. Chazz's stagnant fate was brought to a close when he concluded that he still wanted to defeat Jaden, thereby admitting him to the Society of Light.
SubsequentlyAfter sensing something, Sartorius learned tells Aster that [[Tyranno Hassleberry]] shared a connection with Jaden he senses that there is someone who can defy destiny and that the answer can be found at Duel Academy. Aster in terms of their power was surprised at going back to influence his fate. He challenged Tyranno Duel Academy, but decides to do so(In the dub, Sartorius tells Aster that he senses a duel threat and Aster believes that he assured the threat is against him). Aster would not force him to become one Duel Jaden(who has acquired the power of his Society'the [[Neo-Spacian]]s members. Although Tyranno was overwhelmed ) once again as part of a set match made by "[[Arcana Force VIII Jean- The StrengthLouis Bonaparte]]", which turned his own power against him, . Although Sartorius was unable to make him join predicted that Jaden would lose the Society as secretly intendedDuel, he surprisingly defeated Aster.
At the end While Chazz went around and defeated Duel Academy students to make them Society of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 073|episode 73]]Light members, it Sartorius wondered how Jaden won and he later found out through his cards that Jaden 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 he should go after to taking over Duel Academy. By [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX - Episode 079|episode 79]]further his plans, Sarina reveals not Aster(In the troubled past that she and her brother share.

Sarina emphasized that her brother had once been a kind and caring person, and that it was also 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 Heroes|Destiny Hero]] stolen at the time of his father's kidnapping (murder in the Japanese version), and his suspicions are later confirmed, as the "[[Ultimate D-Card]]" surfaces as a carrier of the energy that infected both Sartorius and [[The D]].

Sartorius contends with would then instruct the dominant evil personal brought on by the will Society of the Light of Destruction.

He predicted that the duel would end before his first turn came, while his opponent believed that he would be the one Duel and defeat Jaden to claim victory in one turn. Playing only three cards during his opponent's first turn, Sartorius zeroed Ojin's Life Points. He thus earned the title of the first duelist in the history of the anime him over to have ever performedtheir side, as [[Bastion Misawa]] called it, a "Zero Turn Kill." With Ojin's defeat, the wealthy duelist obediently relinquishes the briefcase containing the control switch for his laser satellite but Jaden defeats each and the two [[Satellite Keys|keys]] for its activation.

==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 [[activate]]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 ''TCG''/''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 "[[Sowing of the Fool]]". By slipping "The Fool" into [[Jaden Yuki| style=Jaden]]'s Deck, it enables Sartorius to choose which effects of any 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 [[turn]], to shut out his opponent's ability to Summon monsters entirely. In addition, "float:right;Sowing of the Fool" border=gives Sartorius the ability to discard cards from his opponent's Deck. The use of "1The Fool" width=in his rematch with Jaden is significant because during the ''Society of Light'' arc, Jaden's actions in Sartorius's predictions are determined by the Major Arcana card called "50%[[wikipedia:The Fool (Tarot Card)|The Fool]]". {{Decklist|Arcana Force Deck|effect monsters =* [[Arcana Force I - The Magician (anime)|Arcana Force I - The Magician]]* [[Arcana Force III - The Empress (anime)|Arcana Force III - The Empress]]* [[Arcana Force IV - The Emperor (anime)|Arcana Force IV - The Emperor]]* [[Arcana Force VI - The Lovers (anime)|Arcana Force VI - The Lovers]]* [[Arcana Force VII - The Chariot (anime)|Arcana Force VII - The Chariot]]* [[Arcana Force VIII - The Strength (anime)|Arcana Force VIII - The Strength]]* [[Arcana Force XII - The Hangman (anime)|Arcana Force XII - The Hangman]]* [[Arcana Force XIV - Temperance (anime)|Arcana Force XIV - Temperance]]* [[Arcana Force XV - The Fiend (anime)|Arcana Force XV - The Fiend]]* [[Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon (anime)|Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon]]* [[Arcana Force XXI - The World (anime)|Arcana Force XXI - The World]]* [[Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler (anime)|Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler]]* [[Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler (anime)|Arcana Force EX - The Light Ruler]]* [[Knight of Pentacles]]|spells =* [[Ace of Sword]]* [[Arcanatic Doomscythe]]* [[Cup of Ace (anime)|Cup of Ace]]* [[Divination of Fate]]* [[Future Vision]]* [[Intervention of Fate]]* [[Light Barrier (anime)|Light Barrier]]* [[Magician's Scales]]* [[Monster Reincarnation (later anime)|Monster Reincarnation]]<ref group=Notes name=bottomj>This card can be seen on the bottom of his [[Deck]] when [[Chazz Princeton|Chazz]] hands it back to him after [[shuffle|shuffling]] it in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! colspanGX - Episode 061|episode 61]].</ref>* [[Necro Sacrifice]]* [[Pentacle of Ace]]* [[Reverse Reborn]]* [[Selection of Fate]]* [[Sowing of the Fool]]* [[Suit of Sword X (anime)|Suit of Sword X]]* [[The Sky Lord (anime)|The Sky Lord]]* [[Vision]]|traps ="3" style* [[Ace of Wand]]* [[Arcana Call (anime)|Arcana Call]]* [[Decisive Power of Absolute Destiny]]* [[Emperor's Staff]]* [[Reversal of Fate (anime)|Reversal of Fate]]* [[The Material Lord (anime)|The Material Lord]]* [[The Spiritual Lord (anime)|The Spiritual Lord]]* [[Tour of Doom (anime)|Tour of Doom]]}} ==Duels=={| class="background: #00FF00; textwikitable card-align: right;list" | Record

During his duel with [[Jaden Yuki|Jaden]] in the fourth season while under [[Nightshroud]]'s influence, Sartorius utilizes a new strategy, which reflects his changed philosophy on destiny revolving around the combination of "[[Arcana Force 0 - The Fool]]", "[[Tour of Doom]]" and "[[Sowing of the Fool]]". Through "The Fool's" effect, Sartorius can now choose which effects of any other "[[Arcana Force]]" monsters to activate without trusting to chance. Through this, he can now safely use the effect of "[[Tour of Doom]]", which has an equal chance of preventing either player from summoning a monster during their turn, to shut out his opponent's ability to summon monsters entirely.

The use of "The Fool" in his rematch with Jaden is significant because during Season 2 Jaden's actions in Sartorius's predictions are determined by the Major Arcana card called "[[wikipedia:The Fool (Tarot Card)|The Fool]]". {{-}} {{Decklist|monsters =<u>Effect Monsters</u>* [[Arcana Force I - The Magician]] * [[Arcana Force III - The Empress]] * [[Arcana Force IV - The Emperor]] * [[Arcana Force VI - The Lovers]]* [[Arcana Force VII - The Chariot]] * [[Arcana Force VIII - The Strength]] * [[Arcana Force XII - The Hanged Man|Arcana Force XII - The Hangman]] * [[Arcana Force XIV - Temperance]] * [[Arcana Force XV - The Fiend]]* [[Arcana Force XVIII - The Moon]] * [[Arcana Force XXI - The World]] * [[Arcana Force Ex - the Light Ruler]]* [[Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler]]* [[Knight of Pentacles]] |spells =* [[Ace of Sword]] * [[Arcanatic Doomscythe]] * [[Cup of Ace]] * [[Divination of Fate]] * [[Future Vision (Spell)|Future Vision]] * [[Intervention of Fate]] * [[Light Barrier]] * [[Magician's Scales]]* [[Monster Reborn]]<ref groupNotes=Notes name=bottomdub>This card can be seen on the bottom of his [[Main Deck|Deck]] when [[Chazz Princeton]] hands it back to him after [[shuffle|shuffling]] it during [[Yu-Gi-Oh!
