Jean - Michel Roget Jean - Michel Roget is a character in the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ARC - V " anime and the primary antagonist of the second season . He is a deep cover agent of the Fusion Dimension who crossed over to the Synchro Dimension , infiltrating the dimension by rising to the position of Director of Sector Security , enforcing New Domino City ' s law . However instead of helping Duel Academy as an infiltrator for the invasion , he betrayed them and intended to control and reconstruct the Synchro Dimension into his kingdom instead , but his plan was defeated by the Lancers persuading the Topsiders and Commons to reform their policies and unite . Design . Appearance . Roget is a pale - skinned man with a long nose , green eyes , and ash - blonde hair that is neatly combed and arranged on top of his head , but flares out into short wings at the back of his skull . Roget dresses in simple , yet expensive clothes , wearing a closed knee - length purple coat that is held shut by silver clasps over an orange collared shirt . His coat has an orange lining and patterns that cause him to appear as if he is wearing a second shorter coat over his long coat . Roget also wears grey dress pants and black dress shoes . The color of his clothing served as an early hint that he truly was from the Fusion Dimension . Personality . Roget is a seemingly cold , serious and calculating individual . He is cunning and methodical , being able to calmly take decisions in order to ensure criminals are apprehended . His calmness was emphasized when he observed the Lancers ' use of the other dimensions ' Extra Deck Summoning methods and an Action Duel being initiated . Roget seems to have a love for chess as he always has a chessboard with him , and is able to represent a Duel ' s progress through a chessboard by moving the pieces accordingly to the situation in the Duel as if he was playing it , even going as far as speaking in monologues of how he is " ahead " of " his " opponent . In reality , however , most of his plans and actions so far were foreseen by Declan , thus making Roget actually very behind his opponent . This is more pronounced it the dub ; in the Japanese Roget ' s use of chess terms is very infrequent after his debut , but he continues to use them in the dub . He is an expert strategist , which is proven in the Duel between Officer 227 and Yugo , as Roget was ready to call a " Checkmate " against the Common but quickly realized Yugo ' s plan and ordered Officer 227 to cancel his attack , an order that was ignored and resulted in his defeat . During this time it was seen that he is cold and strict with his subordinates , as after Officer 227 ' s Duel concluded , he fired 227 , going as far as throwing a chess piece that represented him into the trash can . His deviousness was further emphasized by his machinations to overturn New Domino City ' s structure of power by somehow implanting mind control chips in all of Sector Security ' s staff to enable the King ' s Gambit . To get his own desires he is not above manipulation , whether it be verbally or general cheating . Seeing Yuya ' s potential after his victory over Shinji Weber , Roget praised him as an ally to the Tops . After capturing Yuya trying to get to Sora , Roget tried to convince Yuya that his vision of power was the right thing to do , and that Sora was the enemy . When Yuya refused and tried to stop Roget from capturing Sora , he had Sector Security throw him in a cell , with plans to control him like Sergey . During Celina ' s Duel with Yugo , Roget altered the track so Yugo couldn ' t get any Action Cards to win and subsequently endangered his life , knowing the Professor needs Celina for his plans . To make sure that the audience were focused on Yuya and Crow ' s Duel and not his takeover of New Domino City and hopeful that his defeat of the Council and Declan was quiet and quick , he placed a chip for torture by electrocution in Yuya ' s helmet , invoking his awakened state and putting Crow ' s life in danger . He strongly detests being subordinate to another party , having turned against Leo Akaba after realizing defecting from his cause would benefit his own ambitions , and the High Council due to them blocking his way to absolute power . Roget loses control quickly when things don ' t go the way he wants , and has been seen repeatedly underestimating the Lancers , especially Declan , being prone to outbursts of frustration . Nonetheless he is skilled enough to make quick decisions . However the more his plans are frustrated the more frequent these outbursts become and the more desperate he becomes . When his plan to have Sergey defeat Jack failed and he lost Sergey as a pawn , he suffered a complete loss of his composure and started showing slight levels of losing his sanity as well . When Yuya and Jack were going to have their Duel to determinate New Domino City ' s future , Roget burst out in several fits of hysterical and maniacal laughter , declaring himself the only one worthy of determining New Domino City ' s future , showing that he was becoming borderline insane . Roget also showed himself to be a sore loser and somewhat of a coward , as when his plans to conquer New Domino City were ruined he attempted to flee back to Duel Academy with Zuzu to avoid being seen as a traitor by Leo Akaba , while delusionally calling himself a " winner " even though he was bested . Roget ' s cowardice and refusal to accept defeat can also be seen in his Dueling style , which relies on holograms which can be replaced each time one of them is defeated and through a stalling strategy , rather than facing the opponent himself . Roget is shown to be extremely cruel and evil . When he invoked Yuya ' s Awakening , he watched in delight while seeing that Crow and Yuya ' s life was in danger . He implanted mind control chips in Sector Security officers and Sergey , thus effectively stripping them of most of their free will . When a scientist warned him that the broken chip in Yuya Sakaki ' s helmet was electrocuting him , Roget ' s immediate concern was the possibility of the cessation of the electric shocks , caring nothing for Yuya ' s life or the possibility of brain damage to Yuya . He was also fully willing to have Sector Security kill Jack and Yuya during their second Duel . Roget also shows signs of sociopathy , deeming others as nothing more than pawns , no matter how valuable they are to his plans , which is demonstrated by him not caring about Yuya ' s imminent death due to his mind control chip as long as he serves his purpose of entertaining the crowd , and trapping his subordinates , whom he had no more use for , in a building he set to self - destruct as he ran away . Biography . History . Roget is a Fusion Dimension resident that was sent to the Synchro Dimension as an undercover agent to ensure Duel Academy ' s conquest . He introduced the ARC System technology to New Domino City , which became a crucial tool for the High Council to strengthen Sector Security ' s power and maintain the Topsiders ' dominance in the riots created after Chojiro Tokumatsu ' s arrest . Roget then quickly climbed to the position of the Director of Sector Security . He eventually decided to betray Duel Academy , and without informing Leo Akaba he began to make plans to turn New Domino City into his own kingdom . Friendship Cup . Three years after his arrival , Roget oversaw the chase Officer 227 conducted against Yugo . He watched their Duel and played along with it on his chess board . Roget was ready to call a " Checkmate " , but realized 227 was walking into Yugo ' s trap . Roget ordered 227 to cancel his attack , but it came too late , leading to Yugo ' s crushing victory , much to Roget ' s internal anger . After 227 ' s defeat , Roget threw the chess piece that represented 227 into the trash can . The next day , Roget supervised the attempted arrest of Yuya Sakaki , Celina , Riley , and Sylvio , as Sector Security had mistaken them for Yugo and Zuzu Boyle . He witnessed the Lancers activating the " Crossover " Action Field Spell , which caused errors in Sector Security ' s software . After turning on security cameras , he witnessed Yuya ' s attempt at entertaining his officers with " Hippo " cards . He then subsequently bore witness to Celina ' s Fusion Summon ing and Yuya ' s Pendulum Summon ing , the latter of which was new to him as well . When the quartet got away with help from Crow Hogan and his " Assault Blackwing - Raikiri the Rain Shower " and the other Turbo Duelists , he stood up calmly and contemplated the oddities he had just seen and concluded that Yuya and Celina were not the same fugitives from the previous night . During Dennis and Gong ' s Duel , he observed them and witnessed Dennis performing the Pendulum Summon displayed by Yuya earlier as well as an Xyz Summon , studying the mechanics and correcting Melissa Trail ' s claim that Dennis ' Pendulum Summon was the first ever recorded . He concluded Dennis and Gong were part of Yuya ' s group , placing more black pieces on his chess board . After detecting a Pendulum Summon in the Underground Dueling Arena , he ordered Sector Security to be sent there immediately , deducing that his targets might be hiding out there . After the Lancers and Crow Hogan were arrested , Roget had Celina separated from the other Lancers and sent to " special confinement " because he was interested in her Fusion Summoning tactics . Roget asked one of his subordinates on how Celina was doing , and he reported that Celina initially resisted , but eventually calmed down . The Director of Sector Security decided to pay Celina a visit . He was contacted by one of his staff , telling him that Yugo and Zuzu , who were wanted , had applied for the Friendship Cup and he was shown their application forms . He told her to accept their applications , and muttered to himself that arresting them at the Friendship Cup would serve as an example to the Commons . He later left in a limousine to go see Celina . Later after the Lancers , Crow , Shinji , Damon and Chojiro Tokumatsu broke out of the Facility , Roget and the other Sector Security officers recaptured Tony , who was assisting in the break out . He arrested them and was about to take Celina away , promising to take good care of her . However two representatives of the High Council appeared , telling him that they wanted to see the captured people and that Sector Security must comply . He argued that they were troublemakers and that they disturbed the peace in Commons . Holograms of the rest of the High Council appeared . The representatives told Roget that they would be the ones to judge that . They ordered him to bring the escaped inmates to them , and he had no choice but comply . At the High Council , Roget argued that the Lancers and their allies were disrupting the peace and had the testimonies of the escaped prisoners to prove it . Sylvio responded that they broke out by chance . When Sylvio asked why he and the others were arrested , Roget countered that they were resisting Sector Security . Yuya argued that Sector Security started it in the first place when they arrived in the Synchro Dimension . Roget repeated his argument and stated that the Lancers came from another dimension , which confused the Council and Chojiro . He continued that he arrested the group because he wanted to investigate their foreign Summoning techniques - Pendulum , Fusion , and Xyz . Yuya said that he and the Lancers didn ' t come here to cause trouble . After this , Declan appeared with Riley and Moon Shadow . He supported Yuya ' s claims by stating that they came to the Synchro Dimension to protect it against Duel Academy and join forces in the dimensional war . During Sylvio ' s explanation of the Lancers being Duel soldiers , Roget laughed at the idea of the dimensional war . The Council responded that they learned of the Lancers and the Dimensional War from Declan . Roget asked if they believed that " nonsense " . The Council replied that they did not know , since there were people from other dimensions present . Azul used Roget ' s argument of investigating the Lancers against him . Roget countered that their aim was to invade the Synchro Dimension , which Yuya , Sylvio , and Gong quickly refuted and pointed out that Duel Academy were the true invaders . Roget said that it was up to Sector Security , not the Lancers , to protect this world , but the Council replied that it was " their " job . The Council proposed they examine each of the Lancers and their allies to prove they were not enemies . Declan suggested that they would do so by participating in the Friendship Cup to prove their skills as Duel soldiers . After the chairman ' s explanation of the Friendship Cup , Yuya reminded his friends that they needed to find Zuzu , which made Roget realize that she was one of Yuya ' s allies . When Yuya asked if Zuzu was arrested , Roget denied it , adding that she was an important Duelist who also entered to Friendship Cup and confirming that she was safe . He agreed to Declan ' s decision and proposed that Yuya Duel Jack Atlas for his exhibition match , since he was the most adept at Pendulum Summoning . He added that Jack would be the one to verify Yuya ' s strength , which Declan and the Council agreed to . He observed the Duel from his office , with Sergey Volkov standing behind him . When Yugo and Zuzu exposed themselves he had Sector Security attempt to arrest them , but was prevented from doing so by the High Council , causing him to lose his temper at being opposed . When Shinji antagonized the crowd against the Topsiders in his Duel , Roget remained calm , as Sector Security could have handled any riots . Later , he explained to Sergey that he would have him Duel Celina later , in addition to crushing the hopes of the common people in the Friendship Cup by defeating Jack Atlas . He sent a " Goyo Emperor " Fusion Monster to Officer 227 , a participant in the tournament , offering to reinstate him if he defeated Yuya Sakaki in his Duel the following day . Despite 227 losing again , Roget was satisfied that the match had served his purposes . He bore witness to Sergey ' s Duel with Damon Lopez and was unimpressed with the former ' s victory . He eventually watched Dennis and Shay ' s brutal Duel , and upon Dennis Summoning " Chaos Ancient Gear Giant " , he figured that he belonged to Duel Academy . After Dennis ' defeat at the hands of Shay , Roget immediately ordered his men to secure Dennis , but met opposition by the High Council . Friendship Cup Finals . Having enough of their interference , Roget initialized his " King ' s Gambit " plan , activating a chip in the head of his Sector Security officers and putting them in a trance to follow his orders and assault the Council ' s room with several men . He communicated through an hologram and asked the Council if they truly thought they could maintain the peace of New Domino City by sealing his powers . The chairman , White Taki , responded they could not allow him to scheme with Dennis . Roget admitted that while this would be an interesting turn of events , it would ruin his plans if he summoned Duel Academy , for they would brutalize New Domino City . He further explained that he sought to control New Domino City , and corrected himself by stating it was already is under " his " control as the Director of Sector Security , and not the Council . He further illustrated his point by declaring that as long as they lived on a competitive society , it was only right for those with actual power to govern , while seemingly questioning their right to do so . Taki asked him if utilizing Solid Vision was also part of his plan to strengthen himself . Roget confirmed Taki ' s words , saying that all that was left was to dethrone Jack and that he already had a piece to make it happen ; their interference would move that piece forward . He let the Friendship Cup continue as scheduled and forced the Council to remain silent for now . Declan deduced that Roget was a Duel Academy agent turned rogue and sought to make New Domino City his " kingdom " . Roget also confirmed this stating he was done submitting to anybody else , including the Professor , Leo Akaba . Roget stated he recognized Declan as Leo ' s son and the fact he opposed his father . He offered to ally with Declan , since both shared a common enemy . Declan refused because he found the idea ridiculous and believed that allying with someone who only sought to control New Domino City would provide him with no benefits . Roget lamented the rejection and asked Declan how long he could continue bragging before disappearing . In his room , an infuriated Roget lashed out at his chessboard , stating that with the Council sealed , they would be no problem to him , even if they had Dennis in custody . He also feared the possibility of Dennis returning to Duel Academy to report back to Leo that Zuzu and Celina were in the Synchro Dimension , while also knowing that Leo would send an army , including Yuri , to capture them . This also made Roget afraid that Leo would unmask him as a traitor and he concluded that securing Dennis was vital to protect his agenda . He had the Friendship Cup continue so he could have Sergey Volkov fight Jack Atlas . Knowing that Leo wanted Zuzu and Celina , he planned to capture them and , to that end , pitted Sergey against Zuzu in the second round ' s first Duel . Initially disappointed by Sergey ' s low performance , he cursed Sergey when the latter went mad when he considered Zuzu ' s speech to be premature . When Sergey knocked Zuzu off of the road instead of creating a possibility to bring her in , he had Sergey captured and sent a search party after Zuzu , who could not be found . During Yuya and Shinji ' s following Duel , Roget scoffed at Shinji ' s rallying . He believed that the Commons never stood up for themselves because they had all bark and no bite . Like everyone else , Roget ridiculed Yuya ' s use of " Tuning Magician " and disposed of the chess pawn resembling him , only to be highly impressed when it ended up a key element in Yuya ' s victory . He left his office , satisfied . Roget met Yuya as he returned to the Duel Palace . He expressed his great admiration in Yuya ' s Duel with Shinji , especially when Yuya showed his Pendulum - Synchro Summon . Roget said that Yuya is the only person he could rely on . This has made Shinji suspect that the Duel was fixed from the start . Roget countered by saying that if the Duel was fixed from the start , then Shinji ' s loss may be a part of it . Before Shinji could argue , Roget put him in his place and sent him in the Underground Labor Facility . Yuya remembered seeing Sora so he attempted to escape with his Duel Runner , but a Sector Security officer blocked him . After hearing Yuya ' s claim of having found Zuzu , Roget told the officer to let Yuya go . Yuya left and Roget secretly sent an officer to follow Yuya . Sora noticed this , so he grabbed Yuya without being noticed and the two hid . As the two discussed the events that happened , Roget eavesdropped on the conversation via a tracking device set by an officer . Now knowing that Dennis had been sent to Duel Academy , he feared that Yuri might come to the Synchro Dimension soon . Hesitantly , he sent an order to secure both Yuya and Sora . After capturing Yuya , he then conferred with him about his plans to defend New Domino City . During the Duel between Crow and Shay , he noticed Zuzu on the balcony when Shay handed Tarren back to the group . He later called Sector Security to go and capture Zuzu . He was shocked to learn that Sora was responsible for her escape , and he expressed anger towards Sector Security whilst fearing that Duel Academy was making their move . He then told one of his scientists to implant the same mind - control technology into Yuya that he had used on Sergey so he could control Yuya before the latter ' s Duel with Crow . During Yugo ' s Duel with Celina , Roget arranged for the Duel lanes to shift so that Yugo would be unable to fully concentrate . He did this for Celina , who he hoped would win , as she would be someone that New Domino City would rally behind during the invasion . He succeeded on this part , as Yugo was unable to land an attack on Celina before she could reach an Action Card , nor was he himself grab an Action Card , since he had to maneuver his Duel Runner to avoid falling both times . Roget ' s plan was going accordingly as desired until Celina decided not to grab an Action Card , allowing Yugo to turn the Duel around and win . Roget was irritated as he needed Celina to win the Duel so he could have greater control of the masses . Roget sent Sector Security to recover Celina , however , Riley was able to defeat all three officers . Declan regained control of the Council ' s building after defeating all of the officers , which infuriated Roget even further . With Zuzu and Celina no longer in his hands and Declan causing interference with his plans , Roget instead chose to eliminate Declan and the Council with Sergey and Sector Security by speeding up the Friendship Cup first semi - finals match on the same night as a distraction . To ensure Yuya won his Duel and gain the attention of the crowd as well , Roget put a chip in Yuya ' s helmet that would give electrical shocks to a certain part of the brain to force his Awakening to activate . This succeeded to his delight as it awakened Yuya ' s shared personality with his dimensional counterparts and allowed him to fight aggressively against Crow . Roget was so pleased with the Duel that he even tried to have the course changed to give Yuya an Action Card . However , this was stopped due to the Summoning of " Odd - Eyes Rebellion Dragon " and the destruction of the circuits . He became frustrated when he learned that the Obelisk Force had invaded New Domino City as well . He sent Sergey to parry the invasion and told Sector Security to remain and protect the building under the belief that Zuzu and Celina were inside . Once Sergey took care of the Obelisk Force soldiers at the Capital Building , Roget sent him to capture Zuzu and Celina . Roget became infuriated when Sergey let Celina be captured by Barrett , but he still was able to take Zuzu . The next day Roget calmly watched as the Commons rioted through New Domino City and took advantage of Yugo ' s absence to change the semi - final match of the Friendship Cup into a match between Sergey and Jack . Before the Duel , he contacted Jack and apologized for making him Duel on such short notice . Jack reassured Roget that he didn ' t mind and would always accept a challenge . Roget invited Zuzu to his office to watch the final part of his plan , have Sergey defeat Jack in order to destroy all hope for both Topsiders and Commons , then make himself their new symbol of hope thus becoming the ruler of New Domino City . Roget watched in delight as Sergey merged with his Duel Runner , and he described him to Zuzu as the perfect Duel machine . When Sergey Summoned " Earthbound Servant Geo Gremlin " and " Earthbound Servant Geo Gremlina " , Jack had to choose to either destroy his " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " to survive another turn or let Sergey gain LP and take his attacks . Roget explained to Zuzu that Jack ' s only choice was to destroy " Scarlight " ; however , that would still cause his defeat through " Geo Gremlina ' s " effect . He smugly declared " checkmate " on the king ; however , to his surprise , Jack chose to keep " Scarlight " alive , and survived Sergey ' s turn . The intensity of the Duel caused Sergey ' s mind control to malfunction ; Roget desperately ordered Sergey over and over to take an Action Card and win with the effect of his Field , " Earthbound Tundra " , only for him to ignore them . Ultimately , Jack won the Duel and Sergey fell to his apparent demise , leaving Roget to watch in disbelief and scream in frustration as his plan completely backfired . Although Sergey survived his fall , Roget soon lost his link to Sergey and instead ordered Sector Security to enforce martial law on New Domino City . When he appeared on holographic screens to announce the change in law to the people of New Domino City , Zuzu pushed him aside , knocking Roget ' s chessboard over , and she urged the Topsiders and the Commons to stop fighting and recognize Duel Academy as the real enemy . Roget shoved Zuzu away and closed the connection , but the Lancers continued to unravel his plan ; Yuya Sakaki was able to return to the Duel Palace and challenge Jack to a Duel . Roget furiously claimed that he wouldn ' t let Yuya Duel , but he was interrupted by a message from the now - freed White Taki , who cheerfully told Roget that he was not the highest authority in New Domino City anymore . Roget was enraged by Taki ' s interference . When Yuya declared his intention to Duel Jack , Roget declared himself the true wielder of authority in New Domino City and immediately ordered Sector Security to storm the Duel Palace . However , they were defeated by the Lancers . After Jack accepted Yuya ' s challenge and declared that their Duel would determine the future of New Domino City , Roget madly declared that he was the one who determines the future and he burst out in mad laughter . He decided to let them Duel , if they managed to live through the experience . To accomplish this he sent a five - man squad of Duel Chasers to intrude in their Turbo Duel , but Jack defeated them with ease . Melissa Trail commented on Jack ' s refusal to have Roget interfere in the Duel , prompting Roget to scream at her to shut up . His grip on New Domino City was further weakened by the deactivation of the main control system that was controlling Sector Security . After Sora and Moon Shadow freed Zuzu , Roget blocked their path and defeated both Sora and Moon Shadow in a Duel . He disabled the other elevators and took Zuzu with him to use as a bargaining chip for betraying Duel Academy . While he was beating Zuzu for speaking out against him , Declan , Riley and Moon Shadow blocked his path . Declan correctly deduced Roget ' s goal and insulted him , ordering him to beg New Domino City for forgiveness after plunging it into chaos . Roget refused , fled into a room with Zuzu and trapped Declan in there with him . He told Declan to beg for forgiveness himself and come back with him and Zuzu to Duel Academy . Declan refused and he claimed that he would only be going to Duel Academy to destroy it . Roget challenged Declan to destroy him as well and they began a Duel ; Roget immediately Fusion Summon ing " Ancient Gear Howitzer " , and then — after equipping it with " Ancient Gear Magic Shield " to prevent its destruction by battle — dealt 1000 effect damage to Declan on the first turn with what he dubbed " an unbeatable combo " . Declan responded by Fusion Summoning " D / D / D Dragonbane King Beowulf " and Synchro Summoning " D / D / D Hexblood King Siegfried " , then using the latter ' s effect to negate " Magic Shield " before attacking with " Beowulf " and " Siegfried " to defeat Roget . Almost immediately , Roget vanished , and subsequently reappeared while the Duel was in progress , which — although penalizing him for half of his LP — allowed him to start the Duel all over again . Undeterred , Declan set up a combo involving the effects of the " D / D Savant Thomas " and " D / D Savant Nikola " in his Pendulum Zones , as well as his " D / D / D Wisdom King Chaos Apocalypse " and " Dark Contract with the Swinging Abyss " , defeating Roget again — but again , he reappeared with 2000 LP . Roget continued to insist that he would be continually revived , but Declan explained to Roget that he was now caught in an infinite loop ; no matter how many times he reentered the Duel , Declan was guaranteed to win as he could activate his combo every single turn . His plan foiled , Roget was then revealed to be above them , wearing a holographic interface and keeping Zuzu close by . Roget attempted to trick the Lancers into thinking Declan was working with Leo to conquer the Synchro Dimension , but when that failed he fled the scene into an elevator , Zuzu in tow , and a chase ensued that culminated in Jack ' s " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " destroying the elevator . While Zuzu was rescued by Yuya , Roget apparently plummeted into the shaft , but climbed out only minutes later , activating a machine that he intended to drop New Domino City into the void between dimensions . However , when the dimensional gateway appeared , Roget was the first to be swept away . Roget ' s whereabouts and status were left unknown when the series ended , and he was never mentioned again after his defeat . Deck . Roget uses an " Ancient Gear " Deck . Like the Obelisk Force , it centers around inflicting effect damage , but utilizes " Ancient Gear Howitzer " rather than " Ancient Gear Hunting Hound " and its Fusion forms . He reinforces his monster with " Ancient Gear Magic Shield " , granting it massive DEF , immunity to other card effect s and indestructibility by battle , rendering it virtually invincible while slowly eating at his opponent ' s LP . During his Duel with Declan , it is revealed that Roget never Duels his opponents personally , instead opting to use holographic clones of himself . If one of the clones is defeated , another will take its place - although this costs Roget half of his LP due to the intrusion penalty , he can repeat the process infinitely , allowing him to keep using the effect of " Ancient Gear Howitzer " until his opponent is defeated .
