'''Rudolph Heitmann''' is the Vice principal at the [[Duel Academy (New Domino)|Duel Academy]] of [[New Domino City]].
==Personality==
Heitmann has an arrogant personality, looking down on those who use low [[Level]] [[Monster Card|monsters]], believing no matter how hard they try they cannot win with low level cards. His outlook starts to change though during his Duel with [[Yusei Fudo|Yusei]]. He shows surprise when Yusei used a [[Tuner monster|Tuner]] to [[draw a card|draw]] 2 cards, and was shocked more when Yusei used a Tuner monster to Synchro Summon with a card from his [[hand]]. After being beaten by Yusei, he realizes the error of his ways and decides not to expel the students.<ref name="ep67">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|67|ref}}</ref>
==Biography==
===Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds===Heitmann is someone who respects Duelists with high potential and strong monsters and despises Duelists with low potential and low monsters. He tried to expel [[Leo]], [[Luna]], [[Dexter]], [[Bob]], [[Patty]] and [[Sly]] due to their low performances. [[Yusei Fudo|Yusei]] duels the teacher to make sure that the students wouldn't get expelled. Heitmann lost the Duel to Yusei by the same low monsters he despised. His attitude towards low-performing Duelists and his "[[Ancient Gear (archetype)|Ancient Gear]]" Deck is a nod are nods to the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' character [[Dr. Vellian Crowler]]. In the English The dub, he is compounds this further by having him being voiced by [[Sean Schemmel]], the Crowler's voice of Dr. Crowleractor.
In the dub, the Principal reveals that Heitmann only maintains his high position because his mother (whom he still lives with) is one of the Academy's principal sponsors.
During Yusei's Duel against [[Z-one]] he is seen cheering Yusei on. ==Deck=Non-canon appearances=== ====Tag Force 5Ds==== {{Main|Rudolph Heitmann (Tag Force)}} Heitmann can be found outside of Duel Academy, offering the player a chance to obtain cards with [[alternate artwork]]s. ====World Championship 2010==== [[File:Heitmann-World-Championship.png|thumb|left|Heitmann, in ''Reverse of Arcadia'']] The player can find and duel against Heitmann at the entrance to New Domino City after finishing the main storyline. No release of the game calls him by his full name. The Japanese game calls him Vice Principal Heitmann (ハイトマン教頭, ''Haitoman Kyōtō'') while the various localizations translate this name and abbreviate it when necessary. {{clear left}} These cards can be randomly obtained after defeating Heitmann.* [[Ancient Gear Gadjiltron Dragon]]* [[Ancient Gear Golem]]* [[Mausoleum of the Emperor]]* [[Royal Decree]]* [[Terraforming]]* [[Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem]] ==Decks==
