PersonalityEdit

While stubborn and strict, Mr. Huffington loves his son and allows him to stay at school even though he won the Duel, because Jaden and Syrus were great friends for him.

Voice/MannerismsEdit

In the English dub, his voice may be a tribute/parody of John Wayne.

BiographyEdit

Mr. Huffington visits Duel Academy to have his son pulled from his studies, as he believes Chumley was wasting his time at the school and would be better off at home working for him. However, Jaden managed to convince Mr. Huffington and Chancellor Sheppard to allow Chumley to fight for his right to stay. After a short but passionate Duel with Chumley, which results in his victory, Mr. Huffington realizes that his son has made friends at Duel Academy and allows him to stay.

DeckEdit

Mr. Huffington uses a "Dizzy Deck", called a Drunken Deck in the original version. According to Lyman Banner, he is well-known for the special technique he uses with the Spell Cards "Flipping the Table" and "Hot Sauce Bottle". In the Japanese version, his Dueling style is said to be inspired by Satsuma Jigen-ryu, a style of Japanese swordsmanship.
