The Supreme King



Haou the Supreme King is a fictional character in the anime series Yu-Gi-Oh GX. He serves as the primary antagonist of season three after the Dark World Arm is defeated. He is the evil figure that possesses Jaden Yuki while he is an alternate dimension. Haou's name is meant to be a pun because Haou can be interpreted as "Supreme King". KENN voices Haou as well in the Japanese version.

Character Biography
After Jaden's duel with Brron, Mad King of Dark World, Haou senses Jaden's negative emotions and tempts him to evil with the Super Fusion card that Brron previously tried to complete. Haou is successful as Jaden begins to accept the idealogy that one must be evil in order to thwart evil. While in control, his first action is gathering his army to slaughter many duelists in order to complete the Super Fusion card. He later begins to oppress many local villages, coercing their allegiance through strong-arm tactics.

Haou is mostly calm and collected, but also elicits anger through his stone-cold affect reflected through his constant scowl and evil golden eyes. Haou is also quite condescending, often mocking his opposition as he sees their effort as futile, although he doesn't deviate from his reserved attitude while doing so. As the Supreme King, his cruelty and self-centeredness has no bounds as he is willing to sacrifice as many people as he has to in order to accomplish his goals along with his lack of remorse after killing someone himself.

Voice/Mannerisms
Although Jaden and Haou are both played by KENN, Haou's voice is harsher and forceful although it is in a monotone. In the Japanese version, unlike most duelists, he usually doesn't announce the beginning of his turn as he seems to expect everyone to know when his turn and when his opponent's turn comes. This trait is quite common in kings throughour factual history as many were forceful and tore up others for even the slightest mistakes.
