Velgear, Kuaidul

Kuaidul Velgear (クァイドゥール・ベルギャー Kwaidūru Berugyā) is a character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! anime and the primary antagonist of the sixth arc. He was the first Velgearian created by Otes and thus the blueprint for the entire artificial race, and seeks to rebel against his creator by manipulating the people of the universe. To this end, Kuaidul explored various methods to transform people into "Kartumata" as the Velgearians had been created, both by manipulating MIK to transform people into cards and by giving "Darkness" cards to Duelists to corrupt them.

Appearance

Lineart of Kuaidul.

Kuaidul resembles Yudias Velgear. He is a blonde-haired pale skinned alien with green eyes and the appearance of a young man despite his considerable age. His hairstyle is superficially similar to Yudias's, but is longer and more swept back, and the two spikes that stick straight up more closely resemble horns. Kuaidul has red marks under each eye shaped like lightning bolts and light green crescent-shaped highlights in his eyes.

Kuaidul dresses in light-colored clothing. He wears a long cream-colored coat with a grey lining strapped closed over his chest with a high collar and grey cuffs and armored pauldrons, a grey waistcoat, a dark maroon undershirt with golden thread at the throat, white pants, and metal calf-length boots lined with gold. Kuaidul wears a pink-bladed Velgearian energy sword at his hip on a black belt and his Gavil Charger over his coat, between its two collars.

Etymology

"Kuai" (快) means "quick" or "fast" in Chinese. Taken together with the "dul" part of Kuaidul's name, his name could be said to literally mean "Rush Duel".

Voice/Mannerisms

Kuaidul uses the personal pronoun "koregashi". This contrasts Yudias Velgear's use of "soregashi"; "sore" refers to something close to the speaker, while "kore" refers to something close to another person, or the listener being addressed. Notably, Kuaidul served as the narrator during the initial episodes and episode 52 of Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!.
