Top 10 List of Non-YGO Duelists, by Noble Paladin

     Top 10 List of Non-YGO Duelists, by Noble Paladin This is a list of duelists 
     from my FF.NET fic, Force of Darkness, hear my cry, that are actually characters 
     from other famous animes:

10: Roger Smith: The supreme Machine duelist of the Hellfire Tournament. 
Like Kuwabara, Roger's main focus is strength, but it is tempered with protection 
cards and weenie rush factors. His rarest card is Satellite Cannon.
Original Anime: Big O

9: Yoko Kurama: Hiei's best-known lieutenant, Yoko focuses on Special Summons, and 
runs on an engine of Plants and Beasts. His deadliest card is Tribe-Infecting Virus 
Original Anime: Yu Yu Hakusho

8: Sesshomaru: Hired by Hiei to defeat his enemies, Sesshomaru's deck is built on 
Guardian Monsters, which, when summoned, are nearly impossible to beat. One of his 
greatest monsters is Guardian Eatotsu, but one of his best monsters without Guardian 
requirements is Black Tyranno.
Original Anime: Inuyasha

7: Inuyasha: Another dog demon duelist, but unlike Sesshomaru, Inuyasha does not 
depend on many equip cards. Instead, most of his cards are based in power or luck. 
His forte is Beasts and Beast-Warriors, and his signature traps are the 6 Sigils 
(property of The Helldragon) , each capable of blocking a different attribute.
Original Anime: Inuyasha

6: Yusuke Urameshi: Yusuke's deck is unique in the fact that it focuses on Spirit 
monsters, which returns to the user's hand each turn. Because of this effect, his 
other monsters are primarily defensive in nature, but he does have two offensive Magic 
cards: Tribute to the Doomed and Harpies Feather Duster.
Original Anime: Yu Yu Hakusho

5: Naraku: The lord of demons is one of the most powerful duelists on Earth, and has 
only been defeated twice in his career. In his duel with Kachikachi (OC of Time Mage) 
he focused on the FINAL combo, while in his battle with Yami he used his equip Demons. 
His most powerful card is Diabound God.
Original Anime: Inuyasha

4. Kagome Higurashi: A duelist prodigy, and the only one in the tournament using a 
successful Angel deck. Her strategy involves knocking out all enemy monsters and 
overwhelming them with offensive power, while defending with Sky Sanctuary.
Original Anime: Inuyasha

3: Schwarzvald: This reporter from Paradigm was, unknown to most, a former World 
Champion Duelist who was defeated by Solomon Mouto in Berlin. In his quest for the 
truth he turned to Hiei and became his right hand. Seebach's deck operates using 3 
cores: Zombie, Pyro, and Sky Fortress Ziggurat. At one point he wielded Chaos 
Soldier-Envoy of Creation, but lost it to Yami.
Original Anime: Big O

2: Botan: The former Grim Reaper of Spirit World is of a class by herself when it comes 
to dueling. Of all the duelists Hiei defeated she came the closest to winning, and is 
one of only a few capable of using Nebel Ring successfully. Her deck runs on attack 
freezing, invincible monsters, direct attacks, and Valkyries.
Original Anime: Yu Yu Hakusho

1: Hiei Jagenshi: Hiei is the ultimate dark duelist, with a juggernaut of a deck that 
only one person has conquered, Yami Yugi. For many years he worked with the Reikai 
Tantei until he became disillusioned and created his own organization, the Black Shadow. 
At his ultimate power level he becomes Yami no Hiei, who is without a doubt a dueling 
machine who could shatter all but the greatest duelist.
     Hiei's deck is enhanced by the fact that he has the Millennium Eye, and he can use 
     specific cards to his advantage due to it. He has many cards to work with, such as 
     Exodia, Royal Decree, and Inferno Tempest, but the most powerful by far is his 
     hellish Chaos Emperor Dragon, which he uses to demolish all opposition. Some of 
     his cards can even draw strength from the enemy, like his Dark Master Exodia.
Original Anime: Yu Yu Hakusho
