'''The Big Five''', initially known at the "Board of Directors for Kaiba Corporation" are a group of five businessmen that used to work for [[Gozaburo Kaiba]], producing weapons of mass destruction for KaibaCorp, and then later for [[Seto Kaiba]] making video game-related software.

When Gozaburo's step-son [[Seto Kaiba|Seto]] decides to make his play for power, he convinces the Big Five he'll restore them to their former power and claims that Gozaburo does not give them the respect or power they deserve. The Big Five agree, and thus buy 49% of Kaiba Corporation. Combined with 2% that Gozaburo had previously given to Seto for a test to prove his business skill, the Big Five vote out Gozaburo and vote in [[Seto]] as the president of the company.

However, [[Seto]] quickly backs out on their deal, stripping them of their power and leaving the Big Five little more than figureheads and consultants. Furious over their betrayal, the Big Five strike a deal with [[Maximillion Pegasus]], similar to their previous deal with [[Seto]]: if Pegasus defeats Seto and Yugi Mutou in duels, then they will use their 49% to vote Pegasus into power of the company by kidnapping Seto's brother [[Mokuba]], who has been entrusted with the security codes to the two percent the Big Five need.

'''The Big Five''', initially known as the "executives for Kaiba Corporation," are a group of five corporate executives that used to work for [[Gozaburo Kaiba]], producing weapons of mass destruction for [[KaibaCorp]], and then later for [[Seto Kaiba]] making video game software.  
+
However, the plan fails, and when [[Seto]] learns of their betrayal he threatens to fire them. The Big Five offer Seto his complete Virtual Reality game as a peace offering, sparking the [[Legendary Heroes]] arc. After being rescued, what [[Seto]] did to the Big Five is not known (in the manga, they were fired and were never seen again). Presumably their minds were trapped in the [[Virtual World]] as they had intended to do to [[Seto]], as this sets the stage for their next appearance.
  
Starting off as minor villains in [[Duelist Kingdom (arc)|Duelist Kingdom]], they later become the main antagonists in the [[Legendary Heroes]] arc and secondary antagonists of the [[Virtual World (arc)|Virtual World]] arc.
+
==Virtual Realm==
 +
For some time, the Big Five wander [[Kaiba]] Corporation's computer banks until they are found by Gozaburo's biological son [[Noah Kaiba|Noah]]. [[Noah]] also desires to take control of [[Kaiba]] Corporation from [[Seto]], and the two strike a deal. [[Noah]] lures [[Seto]], [[Yugi]] and his friends to an underground military base, and there forces them to enter his version of the [[Virtual World]]. The Big Five greet them and reveal the deal they have made with [[Noah]]: after being trapped in the [[Virtual World]], they have lost their connection to their bodies and thus need new ones. In exchange for being allowed access to the bodies of [[Seto]], [[Yugi]] and his friends, the Big Five will defeat each of them in a duel.  
  
They often form alliances with individuals that can give them more power, as they go from working for Gozaburo Kaiba, to Seto Kaiba, to [[Maximillion Pegasus]], and finally, to [[Noah Kaiba]].
+
One by one the Big Five fail to defeat their chosen opponents, and [[Noah]] is furious. As a last ditch effort, the Big Five use the body of [[Tristan Taylor|Tristan]] to unite into one and duel [[Yugi Moto|Yugi]] and [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] in a two-on-one match. They once again fail to defeat them, and are summoned back to Noah's headquarters after trying to take the gang's bodies by force, which infuriates Noah. [[Noah]] refuses to give them a third chance, and as punishment seals each of the Big Five in an isolated portion of the [[Virtual World]]. Following this they are never seen again and are presumably deleted when the fortress the [[Virtual World]] is stationed in explodes.

===Gansley===

[[Image:Big 5-Gansley.jpg|thumb|right|Gansley]]
 +
[[Image:Gansley.jpg|thumb|right|Gansley as [[Deepsea Warrior]].]]
 +
'''Gansley''', known in Japan as '''Konosuke Oshita''' is the former vice-president of KaibaCorp and the leader as well as the founder of The Big Five. He chooses to duel [[Yugi]], and claims to have perfected a strategy to defeat him. He approaches the duel as a business, referring to his monsters as his employees. In the English dub, Gansley gives Yugi advice on business while in the Japanese version, he quotes various warlords and philosophers on how to build a successful army. Another interesting change between the English and Japanese versions of the anime is that while his Japanese counterpart knows about [[Yami Yugi]] (he refers to them as Type-A Yugi and Type-B), Gansley shows no knowledge of the spirit.
 +
 
 +
Gansley uses a '''Reptile/Water Deck''' that relies on [[summon]]ing many monsters to use the ability of his [[Deck Master]] [[Deepsea Warrior|Deep Sea Warrior]] called "''Reflector Hole''" which negates an opposing attack and inflicts damage to the opponent equal to the attacking monster's [[ATK]] at a cost of two [[Tribute]]s (very similar to [[Magic Cylinder]]). He was defeated when Yugi's use of [[Kuriboh]], combined with the Magic Card [[Rainbow Blessing]], allowed him to bypass Gansley's monsters and attack his life points directly with [[Swift Gaia the Fierce Knight]], an attack that Gansley's Special Ability couldn't protect him from.
 +
 
 +
In the Japanese version, he is voiced by Noboyuki Saitou in the Virtual Realm arc and by Shintaro Sonoda in the [[Noah]] arc. While in English version, he is voiced by Marc Thompson.

 +
'''Adrian Randolph Crump III''', known in Japan as '''Shuzo Otaki''' is the former KaibaCorp accountant who oversaw the company's finances before he was fired. He took the form of [[Nightmare Penguin]] to duel [[Téa Gardner|Téa]]. Crump was neglected as a child, but found a love for penguins when he read about how they cared for their young. His dream was to build a penguin theme park, but Seto Kaiba refused to finance the project.
 +
 
 +
Crump uses an '''Ice Deck''' that relies on various [[Water]]-themed cards. His Deckmaster Nightmare Penguin can increase the ATK of each water monster by using his Deckmaster's abilities. He was defeated when Tea's Dark Magician Girl, combined with the Magic Card the [[Sage's Stone]], allowed her to summon Yugi's [[Dark Magician]] to the field to destroy Crump's monsters.
 +
 
 +
In the Japanese version he is voiced by Satoshi Tsuruoka in the Virtual Realm arc and by Ryousuke Ootani in the [[Noah]] arc. While in English version, he is voiced by Mike pollack.

[[Image:Big 5-Johnson.jpg|thumb|right|Johnson]]
 +
[[Image:Johnson.jpg|thumb|right|Johnson as [[Judge Man]].]]
 +
'''Johnson''', known in the Japan as '''Chikuzen Oka''', was the legal advisor for the KaibaCorp and an expert lawyer. He once convinced a jury that a man who was afraid of water stole a boat. To lure [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] to a duel, he disguised a setting of the blimp and disguised himself as [[Mai Valentine|Mai]] until he reveals himself. He duels Joey Wheeler in a courtroom setting. Johnson claims that Joey is on trial for gambling too much with his deck and takes the form of [[Judge Man]] to duel. During the duel, Johnson secretly rigs Joey's dice rolls and coin flip in his favor, until [[Noah Kaiba|Noah]] teleports in and threatens to disqualify him for cheating. Joey asks that Noah let the duel continue, and Noah does so. Joey plays another game of chance with Johnson in which he loses one of the true or false questions he claims to be an expert in- picking a monster card rather than a magic card, thus allowing Joey to transfer the card's attack points to his [[Flame Swordsman]] to strength his monster and thus win the duel.
 +
 
 +
Johnson uses a '''Fusion Deck''' that relies on increasing his Life Points in order use his Deck Master's ability "''Clear the Courtroom''" which can destroy all monsters on the opposing field at a cost of 1000 points, inflicting 500 points of damage to the opponent for every monster destroyed.
 +
 
 +
In the Japanese version he is voiced by Shin'ichi Yashiro. While in English version, his voiced is Marc Diraison.

[[Image:Big 5-Nesbitt.jpg|thumb|right|Nesbitt]]
[[File:5withseto.png|thumb|left|The Big Five with Seto.]]
+
[[Image:Nesbitt.jpg|thumb|right|Nesbitt as [[Robotic Knight]].]]
At some point they were hired by [[Gozaburo Kaiba]] to work for [[KaibaCorp]], a military arms company.
+
'''Nesbitt''', known in Japan as, '''Soichiro Ota''', was the technical expert of KaibaCorp and oversaw the military factories before Seto took power. Seto ordered Nesbitt to destroy his lab after coming to power and had him build the Duel Tower in its place. Nesbitt is furious over his technological genius being used for games, and has vowed revenge and is the most ruthless duelist of the Big Five. Nesbitt took the form of [[Robotic Knight]] and later [[Perfect Machine King]] to duel [[Duke Devlin|Duke]], [[Serenity Wheeler|Serenity]] and [[Tristan Taylor|Tristan]] in a three-on-one duel. As Tristan and Serenity have little knowledge of dueling, Nesbitt is sure he'll win easily. He manages to defeat Tristan before losing, and unfairly claims his body in the process- the entire Big Five going on to use it against Yugi and Joey in a duel, but he is nevertheless defeated thanks to a card that Tristan had played earlier. Despite having never dueled before (which is why he originally intended to duel her alone) it is Serenity whose monster deals the finishing blow.
  
When Gozaburo's adoptive son [[Seto Kaiba|Seto]] decides to make his play for power, he convinces the Big Five he'll restore them to their former power and claims that Gozaburo does not give them the respect or power they deserve. The Big Five agree, and thus buy 49% of [[KaibaCorp]]. Combined with 2% that Gozaburo had previously given to Seto for a test to prove his business skill, the Big Five vote out Gozaburo and vote in Seto as the president of the company. However, Seto quickly backs out on their deal, evidenced by the fact that KaibaCorp would soon be converted into a video game software company where he had [[Nezbitt]] destroy his weapon labs, rejected Crump's idea for a penguin theme park as part of a KaibaCorp project and demoted Lector from heir to company president to figurehead of the company.
+
Nesbitt uses a '''Machine Deck'''. His Deckmaster's special ability is '''Final Artillery''', which deals 500 points of damage to his opponent's [[Life Points]] each time he discards 1 [[Machine]]-[[Type]] monster from his hand. In a Tag-Team Duel, he was evidently able to choose which opponent took each hit of 500 [[Life Points]] of damage.
  
===Duelist Kingdom===
+
In the Japanese version he is voiced by Hiromi Sugino. While in English version, he is voiced by David Wills.  
[[File:008_pegasus_kaiba_corp_big_five_meeting.jpg|thumb|right|The Big Five with [[Maximillion Pegasus|Pegasus]].]]
 
Furious over their betrayal, the Big Five strike a deal with [[Maximillion Pegasus]], similar to their previous deal with Seto: if Pegasus defeats Seto and [[Yugi Muto]] in Duels, then they will vote Pegasus into power of the company by kidnapping Seto's brother [[Mokuba Kaiba|Mokuba]], who has been entrusted with the card that contains the information the Big Five need to take over the company (In the dub, they need a Kaiba family member to make any control legal) Although shadowed during this time, the Big Five are first unshadowed when they watch Maximillion Pegasus' Duel against Yugi Muto on their monitor. However, the plan fails when Yugi defeats Pegasus in a Duel.
 
  
In the manga, the Big Five are fired by Seto and never seen again.

In the anime, when Seto learns of their betrayal he threatens to fire them. The Big Five offer Seto the opportunity to test his complete Virtual Reality game as a peace offering. In reality, they plan to trap Seto in the game so they can take control of KaibaCorp. When Yugi Muto and [[Joey Wheeler]] enter the Virtual World with Mokuba to rescue Seto, the Big Five send [[Kemo]] and two other operatives to unplug their pods, which would trap them all. While [[Téa Gardner]] and [[Tristan Taylor]] stall the thugs, the Big Five enter the game and Summon "[[Mythic Dragon (anime)|Mythic Dragon]]". The dragon is defeated and the heroes return to the real world. After their defeat, the Big Five somehow become trapped in virtual reality.

===Lechter===
For some time, the Big Five wander [[KaibaCorp]]'s computer banks until they are found by Gozaburo's biological son [[Noah Kaiba|Noah]]. Noah also desires to take control of Kaiba Corporation from Seto, and strikes a deal with them. Noah lures Seto Kaiba, Yugi, and his friends to an underground military base, and there forces them to enter his version of the [[Noah's Virtual World|Virtual World]]. The Big Five greet them and reveal the deal they have made with Noah: after being trapped in the Virtual World, they have lost their connection to their real-world bodies and thus need new ones. In exchange for being allowed access to the bodies of Seto, Yugi, and his friends, the Big Five will defeat each of them in a Duel.  
+
[[File:Big 5-Lechter.jpg|thumb|right|Lector]]
 +
[[Image:Lector.jpg|thumb|right|Lector as [[Jinzo]].]]
 +
'''Lechter''', known in Japan as '''Kogoro Daimon''', was the former assistant to Gozaburo himself and later Seto. Lechter is the best duelist of [[The Big Five]] and challenges Seto as his opponent, intending to settle a personal grudge. Lechter claims that he did all the hard work to make Seto look good for Gozaburo while all Seto did was give him orders. Lechter also reveals Seto's manipulation of Mokuba to oust Gozaburo from power, which Seto denies.
  
[[File:bigfivedead.png|thumb|right|[[Noah]] deletes the Big Five]]
+
Lechter uses a '''Control Deck''' and utilizes a wide array of cards that lockdown the opponent's abilties, using a variety of cards to increase his life points after giving them up to defeat his opponents, and highlighted by his Deck Master [[Jinzo]]. Despite this, he was defeated when Seto managed to summon his [[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]], using it to destroy Lechter's [[Satellite Cannon]] and thus eliminate his greatest advantage.
Taking the physical appearance of their respective Deck Masters in their Duels, one by one the Big Five fail to defeat their chosen opponents, each underestimating the gangs' natural feel for the game as opposed to the Big Five's more calculated business-like strategies (although the inexperienced Téa needed some help from Yugi to win her Duel against [[Crump]]).  
 
  
However, Nezbitt was able to defeat Tristan in a three-one-one Duel (which also included [[Duke Devlin]] and [[Serenity Wheeler]]) when Tristan sacrificed his remaining life-points to save the struggling Serenity. Although Nezbitt still lost the Duel overall, he took over Tristan's body despite his promise to return it. In Tristan's body, Nezbitt kidnaps Mokuba and hands him over to Noah and shortly afterwards the remaining Big Five attempt to steal the remaining gangs' bodies by force.
+
His english name may be a pun on Hannibal Lector, as the monster he is in the virtual world whears a similar mask to Hannibal.
  
Although Noah is furious at their losses and rule-breaking in their attempted body stealing, he offers the Big Five a last ditch effort to all use the body of Tristan and Duel [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] and [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] in a two-on-one match. With the Big Five initially rotating control of Tristan's body while communicating with each other in his mind, they were able to combine their Deck Masters into one monster, but they once again failed to defeat them and are summoned back to Noah's headquarters after trying to take the gang's bodies by force a second time, which infuriates Noah. Despite their pleas, Noah refuses to give them a third chance. In the original Japanese version, Noah deletes the Big Five. In the dub, he imprisons each of the Big Five in an isolated portion of the Virtual World, and they are eventually "deleted" when the Virtual World destructs.
+
In the Japanese version he is voiced by [[Wikipedia:Eiji Takemoto|Eiji Takemoto]] in the Virtual Realm arc and by Shoji Izumi in the [[Noah]] arc. While in English version, he is voiced by Sean Shcemmel.  
  
==Deck==
 
[[File:Tristian Big 5.jpg|thumb|left|The Big Five controlling Tristan's body, on top of Five-Headed Dragon]]
 
  
When they faced Yugi and Joey, the Big Five Dueled as one in the body of [[Tristan Taylor]], rotating their [[Deck Master]]s in turn, as well as which member of The Big Five had control.
 
  
In this Duel they use a Deck of their combined powers, highlighted by "[[Mythic Dragon (anime)|Mythic Dragon]]", the monster they attempted to use to trap Seto in the [[Legendary Heroes|Virtual World]] before he fired them. They were nevertheless defeated when Yugi and Joey combined their Deck Masters ("[[Dark Magician (anime)|Dark Magician]]" and "[[Flame Swordsman (anime)|Flame Swordsman]]") to form "[[Dark Flare Knight (anime)|Dark Flare Knight]]", subsequently using its [[effect]] to Summon "[[Mirage Knight (anime)|Mirage Knight]]" to destroy "Mythic Dragon", before destroying their "[[Berserk Dragon (anime)|Berserk Dragon]]" by transforming "Dark Magician" into "[[Dark Magician Knight (anime)|Dark Magician Knight]]" and transferring most of the [[ATK]] of "Flame Swordsman" to him, thus giving him the strength to defeat "Berserk Dragon".

When they faced Yugi and Joey, the Big Five dueled as one in the body of [[Tristan Taylor]], rotating their [[Deck Master]]s in turn, as well as which member of [[The Big Five]] had control, until they reached Lector, with his [[Deck Master]], [[Jinzo]]. In this duel they use a deck of their combined powers, highlighted by [[Five-Headed Dragon]], the monster they attempted to use to trap Seto in the [[Virtual World]] before he fired them. They were nevertheless defeated when Yugi and Joey combined their Deck Masters to form [[Dark Flare Knight]], subsequently using its special ability to summon [[Mirage Knight]] to destroy Five-Headed Dragon, before destroying their [[Berserk Dragon]] by transforming [[Dark Magician]] into the [[Dark Magician Knight]] and transferring Flame Swordsman's attack points to him, thus giving him the strength to defeat the Berserk Dragon.
