Amelda

From WikiFic

Alister, known in Japan as Amelda (アメルダ Ameruda), is one of the main antagonists in the Waking the Dragons (or Doma) story arc of the Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime, which is known as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters in Asia. Alister is voiced by Yukinara Iemura in the Japanese version and by Ted Lewis in the English dub. He does not exist in the manga. His dub name was based on Aleister Crowley, the British occultist who created the Unicursal Hexagram, the symbol used for The Seal of Orichalcos. The obscurity of this fact is most likely what helped it slip past the censors. Alister often quarrels with Valon over whose target is stronger. Alister also bought over half of Seto Kaiba's company, but it's unclear whether he used Pegasus's money or money from the Paradius corporation.

Character Bio

Alister lived in a town in the middle of a war as a child, leading a resistance group with his brother after their parents are killed. When his brother is killed, Alister blames Kaiba Corporation, who financed the weapons that attacked the town. In reality, the weapons were funded by Dartz. To this end, Alister targets Seto Kaiba, but when Alister learns of his bond with his own brother Mokuba, he becomes more sympathetic and willingly loses the duel to ensure Mokuba will not have to bear losing his brother as he did. Kaiba, also understanding Alister's grudge towards him now, carries his body to safety after the duel, and Alister is restored when Dartz is defeated.

Deck

Alister utilizes three decks during the series, one of them being a Toon Deck since he was masquerading as Maximillion Pegasus when Seto Kaiba came to confront him. It is likely that this is Pegasus' own deck. The Toon monsters that Alister summons are powerful, with their immunity to destruction in battle and their ability to assault Kaiba directly, as his Toon Dark Magician Girl does. After Kaiba destroys Toon World with A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon, Alister reveals himself and begins to use his second deck, a Fire Deck. Alister's Pyro Deck is largely based on one card: Gorlag, which can resummon any monster it destroys on Alister's field and turn them into Fire monsters. Furthermore, Gorlag can gain 500 Attack Points for every Fire monster on the field. When Alister next encounters Kaiba, he uses a machine orientated Army Deck, which uses cards to reflect the incident that happened in Alister's past where KaibaCorp-financed troops destroyed his village and killed his brother. Using cards such as KC-1 Crayton and Spell Canceller, Alister attempted to remove any sort of strategy Kaiba could throw at him. When Kaiba begins to make another comeback, Alister summons Air Fortress Ziggurat, his most powerful monster with 2500 Attack Points, further enhanced to 3000 via The Seal of Orichalcos. Furthermore it spawns a Robot Token, a reminiscent of his brother's favorite toy at the start of every turn. To see Amelda's full deck visit http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Alister
