Martin Kanou

From WikiFic

Noteworthy for looking very pale and sickly, he is close friends with Rei Saotome (Blair Flannigan in dub). After being transported to the Realm of the Beasts, however, Martin is corrupted by the mysterious demon arm posessing Yubel's spirit, the mysterious demon that Professor Cobra was helping. He then turns many students and faculty members into "Duel Zombies" and plans to unleash the Sacred Beasts before declaring himself king of his newly-instituted empire. Martin is Bonaparte's (Napoleon) son, raised by the man's ex-wife. He grew depressed by the sight of his parents bickering and his father leaving their home in Paris at a young age. It is this depression which allows Yubel to possess him. During his possession, Martin has expressed a desire for the company of others, this being another reason why he turned students and faculty into zombies. During the duel with Juudai Yuuki and Johan Andersen, Martin is set free from the creature's influence when Yubel regains physical form. After Duel Academia is restored to its proper place, Martin recuperates, but not before being checked on by Rei while Napoleon apologizes for making him depressed in the first place. Martin is seen one more time prior to Juudai's duel with Yubel, as Juudai remembers all the people Yubel has wronged. He leaves the academia in the fourth season to spend more time with his father.

Voice/Mannerisms

Marcel speaks in a French accent in the English Dub, except for when he possessed by Yubel. When he speaks without his accent, it appears to be the male half of Yubel, as it refers to Marcel as "your new best friend". Occasionally, his voice gained the same vocal effect Yubel's did, and he sometimes used her voice (at which time he glowed blue).

Deck

Martin plays an Exodia/Sacred Beasts Deck while controlling others. By using cards such as Mad Reloader and Break the Seal, he is able to quickly gather the individual pieces of Exodia and declare an automatic victory. After retrieving the Sacred Beasts, he boosts the summoning speed of the Sacred Beasts and also supports the summoning of their combined form, Armitael, Phantasm of Chaos.
