'''Espa Roba''', known as '''Esper Roba''' in the Japanese version, is a [[Duelist]] who claims to have [[Wikipedia:Extrasensory perception|ESP]]. In reality he is a fraud who uses his younger brothers to spy on and reply back to him the cards in his opponent's [[hand]], thus allowing him to 'predict' the opponent's strategies almost before they perform them.
==Design==
===Voice/Mannerismsand mannerisms===In the Singaporean English dub of the [[anime]], Espa Roba has a Spanish or Hispanic accent.
===Etymology===
Espa was a young Duelist who entered [[Battle City]] to uphold his reputation and protect his younger brothers. He was first shown defeating [[Rex Raptor]] and taking "[[Serpent Night Dragon (anime)|Serpent Night Dragon]]". Rex advised [[Joey Wheeler]] not to [[Duel]] Espa on the grounds that his psychic abilities allowed him to read all the cards in his hand. With an air of self-confidence, Joey accepted the Duel.
[[File:Yugioh058Yugioh episode 58.jpgpng|thumb|left|Espa pretending to have a psychic vision.]]
Although Espa initially gained an advantage due to the fact he knew what cards were in Joey's hand and on his [[field]], Joey inferred what was happening and attempted to confuse his watchers from above by putting the cards "[[Skull Dice (anime)|Skull Dice]]" and "[[Graceful Dice (anime)|Graceful Dice]]" close to each other.
The psychic front was to build an impression of an unbeatable Duelist and thus deflected any abuse that was usually heaped upon Espa and his brothers, they were heavily bullied due to being carnival folk before. To Mokuba, this situation paralleled his brotherly relationship with his older brother, [[Seto Kaiba|Seto]] and he let Espa continue the Duel. Due to this, Espa's psychic reputation was tarnished, but he continued his Duel with Joey nevertheless.

Espa eventually [[Summon]]ed "[[Jinzo (anime)|Jinzo]]", who severely crippled Joey's overall strategy. Finally, Joey [[activate]]d "[[Roulette Spider (anime)|Roulette Spider]]" which forced "Jinzo" to [[attack]] a random card on the field, "Jinzo" attacked "[[Reflect Bounder (anime)|Reflect Bounder]]", who then reflected the assault back on "Jinzo", [[destroy]]ing them both, causing Espa to lose the Duel.
