As a child , Iggy was walking with Ryozan Godagawa , until he stopped and noticed a young Yuya Sakaki with his father , Yusho Sakaki . Iggy ' s teacher told him not to think of Dueling as fun , as the path he was about to walk would be pitch black and full of darkness . Iggy came in second place in a previous Arc League Championship , losing in the finals to Kev Ravenwood . According to Nico Smiley , Iggy further evolved from the previous tournament by learning Fusion Summon . Arc League Championship . During his Duel with Kit Blade , Iggy brutally beat up Kit in order to prevent him from getting any Action Card s , thus resulting in Kit ' s defeat in an OTK . During his Duel with Yuya , Iggy once again tried to prevent his opponent from getting Action Cards through brutal force . While it seemed like Iggy would win , Yuya entered Berserk Mode , which allowed him to Xyz Summon " Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon " and beat Iggy in an OTK . This Duel exposed Iggy ' s ignorance towards Xyz Monster s as he thought that since they have Rank s , it was implied that their Level s would be 0 , and he could activate the effect of " Idaten the Conqueror Star " ( In the dub , Iggy didn ' t mention anything about his opinion about Xyz Monsters probably having Level 0 . ) When Yuya offered to help Iggy up after the Duel , he disdainfully rejected it . Heartland City . As a result of his loss , Iggy was shunned at his Duel school . Dennis McField eventually approached him , informing him that if he wanted to defeat Yuya , he should come to the Fusion Dimension , as Yuya would eventually show up there . Dennis deployed Iggy when Yuya , Kite Tenjo , Sylvio Sawatari , and Gong Strong arrived in the Fusion Dimension to save Zuzu from Duel Academy . Iggy immediately attacked Yuya and pinned him to the ground , asking if Yuya remembered him . He told Yuya that he ' d been in darkness since his defeat and accepted Dennis ' offer to come to the Fusion Dimension to defeat him . He challenged Yuya to a Duel and Fusion Summon ed " Idaten the Conqueror Star " on the first turn . Iggy told Yuya to summon his " evil Xyz Dragon " and activated " Kaiki the Unity Star ' s " effect to Special Summon it from the Graveyard and Fusion Summon " Shura the Combat Star " , causing him to gain markings on his face and used its effect to make the ATK of all other monsters on the field 0 . He turned his Level disadvantage on Yuya when he revealed the other effect of " Shura " ; to increase the ATK of battling monsters by 200 times their Level , which put the Level - less " Dark Rebellion " at the disadvantage . He also explained that the effect of " Kaiki " would cause him to take 500 damage each turn as long as he controlled " Shura " , claiming that he obtained this power from wandering in the darkness . To Iggy ' s surprise , Yuya was able to bypass his disadvantage ; giving " Dark Rebellion " a Level with the Pendulum Effect of " Xiangke Magician " effect , forcing the two Duelists to compete over Action Card s . Yuya ' s Rollerboots eventually gave him the advantage in this regard , forcing Iggy to activate " Radiance of the Forbidden Spell " , increasing the ATK of " Shura " by sealing away his Monster Zone s and destroying " Dark Rebellion " . Iggy then used its other effect to destroy " Shura " and force Yuya ' s monsters into Defense Position , creating a massive pit beneath them . Iggy intended to force the Duel into a DRAW in order to fulfill his vow to defeat Yuya , but Yuya used " Acrobat Tower " to save them both and bring their monsters back from the Graveyard . The effect of " Acrobat Tower " caused Iggy and Yuya to compare the Levels of their monsters once again , with the player that had the higher - Level monsters drawn from their Deck inflicting damage equal to the total Levels of the monsters in the Graveyard . Iggy drew the Level 5 " Hayate the Earth Star " and " Tenma the Sky Star " , higher than Yuya ' s Level 3 monsters , thus losing the Duel .

Iggy uses a Star Deck focused on Fusion Summon ing his ace monster , " Idaten the Conqueror Star " . During his Duels he shows a very violent style , physically assaulting his opponents with martial arts to prevent them from getting Action Card s . His core strategy is Fusion Summoning " Idaten " , using its effect to reduce the ATK of his opponent ' s monsters with lower Level s to 0 , and equip ping it with " Magic Star Sword " , which can increase the ATK of the equipped monster by sending Spell Cards from the hand to the Graveyard . He then proceeds to gather Action Cards and use this effect to power up " Idaten " to the point where he can perform a One Turn Kill . He later gains " Kaiki the Unity Star " and shifts his strategy to incorporate the effects of Action Cards instead of sending them to the Graveyard , with his ultimate monster being " Shura the Combat Star " , which counters Xyz Monsters , the monster type that Iggy was initially clueless about .
