Crump Adrian Randolph Crump III , known as Shuzo Otaki in the Japanese version , is a member of the Big Five . He was formerly a KaibaCorp accountant who oversaw the company ' s finances ( Human resources in the original version ) . Design . Appearance . Adrian Crump , like the rest of the Big 5 , wears a business suit . His double breasted suit is green . Crump has black hair , black eyes , and a mustache . He is fairly short and appears to be middle - aged ( in the Japanese he is stated to be 55 ) . He has furled eyebrows , giving him a Middle Eastern look . Crump is fair skinned . In the Virtual World , he takes the appearance of Nightmare Penguin . Personality . Crump is portrayed as the most comedic and high strung of the Big Five , as he shows exaggerated facial expressions when hit , or surprised like an animated cartoon character ( compared to his associates who all manage to stay serious during their Duels while in Deck Master mode ) . Ironically , he also seems to be the most tragic member of the Big 5 , as he was neglected by his parents as a child . Despite being the most comedic and the most tragic , he is also quite sadistic , as he intended to leave Téa frozen for all eternity , which would make her suffer far greater than wandering cyberspace forever as the other four had intended to do to their opponents . Crump is obsessed with both penguins and numbers , especially statistics . He frequently uses statistics in everyday life and likes to gather data about people . In the Japanese version , Crump is also a pervert , preferring to inhabit a young girl ' s body . Voice / Mannerisms . Crump has a gruff voice . He has a tendency to use numbers and sometimes ice - themed puns in his speech . In the Spanish version ( where he is dubbed by Antonio Villar ) he does not use the ice - themed puns but does lots of numbers / porcentages puns . Biography . History . Crump was an only child . His parents had no time for him since they worked late ( in the Japanese version they also used to argue continuously ) , so he spent most of his time counting things , resulting in his love for numbers . When he found a book about how penguins cared for their young , he became obsessed with penguins . His dream was to build a penguin theme park . KaibaCorp . Crump worked as an accountant at KaibaCorp . Crump , along with four other KaibaCorp employees formed a group known as the Big Five . Seto Kaiba , the adoptive son of the head of KaibaCorp , convinced the Big Five that Gozaburo is mistreating them and that he would help restore them to their former power . 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 voted out Gozaburo and voted in Seto as the president of the company . However , Seto quickly backed out on their deal , stripping the Big Five of their power and leaving them little more than figureheads and consultants . Crump proposed his penguin dream theme park to Seto as part of a KaibaCorp project . Seto immediately rejected the idea , hurting Crump even more . Duelist Kingdom . Furious over their betrayal , the Big Five strike a deal with the president of Industrial Illusions , Maximillion Pegasus in an attempt to overthrow Seto . If Pegasus defeats Seto and Yugi Muto in Duels , then they will use their 49 % to vote Pegasus into power of the company by kidnapping Mokuba Kaiba , who has been entrusted with the security codes to the two percent the Big Five need . The Big Five later watch the Duel between Yugi Moto and Maximillion Pegasus on their monitor . The Big Five and Pegasus ' plan fails , after Pegasus is defeated by Yugi . In the manga , Crump and the rest of the Big Five are fired by Seto and are never seen again . Legendary Heroes . In the anime , the Big Five avoid being fired , by making excuses and offering Seto his complete virtual reality game as a peace offering . Eager to try out the virtual reality game , Kaiba refrains from immediately firing them and enters the virtual world . The Big Five trap Kaiba in the virtual reality . However Kaiba is rescued by Mokuba , Yugi Muto , Joey , and Mai Valentine . The Big Five reprogram the game and set the " Mythic Dragon " as the final boss . However , it is defeated by Yugi and Kaiba ' s " Dragon Master Knight " . Virtual Realm . After losing in Legendary Heroes , the Big Five got trapped in the virtual world , instead of Kaiba . Here they met up with Noah Kaiba . Having Seto as a common enemy , they made plans for revenge . During the Battle City tournament , Noah had the KaibaCorp blimp sucked into an undersea fortress , where the virtual world ' s main servers are . They force Seto and Mokuba Kaiba , along with Yugi and his friends into the virtual world again . Using an altered set of " Duel Monsters " rules involving Deck Master s , the Big Five Duel their enemies in the hopes of stealing their bodies to escape the virtual reality . Crump took the form of " Nightmare Penguin " to Duel Téa Gardner . His penguin minions led her to his lair where he told her what he knew about her . Soon after that , Téa chose " Dark Magician Girl " as her own Deck Master . He calculated the odds of them Dueling to be 100 % and the odds of him winning to be 99 % . As he lowered Téa ' s Life Points , she became engulfed in ice , but she managed to defeat Crump thanks to the advice of " Dark Magician Girl " allowing her to play the " Sage ' s Stone " and Summon " Dark Magician " from Yugi ' s Deck where he was witnessing the Duel nearby , causing the ice to vanish and defeating Adrian Crump . Crump , along with Gansley , Johnson , and Leichter , having failed to win their targets bodies , went behind Noah ' s back and attempt to steal the bodies . They chased down Duke Devlin , Serenity Wheeler , and Joey . As they argue over who gets which bodies , Noah made contact and told them off . Since Nezbitt didn ' t rightfully take Tristan Taylor ' s body - Nezbitt had been facing Tristan , Duke and Serenity in a single duel but only defeated Tristan when he sacrificed himself to save Serenity - Noah allowed the Big Five to share Tristan ' s body in order to Duel Yugi . Should they win , they would get their freedom . The Big Five face Yugi and Joey , using Tristan ' s body . The 5 each switch control and their Deck Masters throughout the Duel . Crump took many of the early turns , as they were using an " A Legendary Ocean " strategy , which suited his Deck Master effect . Towards the end of the Duel , the Big Five uses " Dragon Revival Ritual " to combine their Deck Masters into the " Mythic Dragon " again . The dragon is destroyed by Yugi and Joey ' s " Mirage Knight " , but the Big 5 use " A Deal with Dark Ruler " to make " Berserk Dragon " their Deck Master . Ultimately , it is destroyed by " Dark Magician Knight " , costing them the Duel . Adrian III , Gansley , and Leichter blame Johnson for their defeat . The Big Five again try to steal the heroes ' bodies but fail thanks to Noah putting them back into Tristan ' s body and sending them away . Noah refused to give the Big Five any more chances after that . In the original version , Noah deleted Crump and the rest of the Big Five . In the dub , Noah imprisoned them in the different corners of the Virtual World , and they were supposedly destroyed when the Virtual World was blown up . Relationships . Parents . Little is known about his relationships with his parents , but in the Japanese version , it is said that his parents argued a lot . Crump is probably angry at his mother and father for paying little attention to him . Seto Kaiba . Crump has a deep hatred for his ex - boss . Big 2 , along with his comrades , tried to take down Seto twice in the past but failed . The major reason why Adrian hates Kaiba is most likely that the former " Duel Monsters " champion rejected his idea of building a penguin theme park . Deck . Anime . Crump uses a " Penguin / WATER " Deck . His main strategy involves his Deck Master ability to change his WATER monsters into Beatstick s . He also uses " Defender Iceberg " with " Penguin Torpedo " to easily attack directly .
