From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Leon von Schroeder, known in Japan as Leonhart von Schroider (レオンハルト・フォン・シュレイダー Reonharuto fon Shureidā) is the a fictional character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters in Japan), appearing during the KC Grand Championship story arc. He does not exist in the manga. In the English version, he is voiced by Andrew Rannells, while Seiko Noguchi takes the role in the Japanese version.
Leon is the younger brother of Zigfried von Schroeder (Siegfried von Schroider). He is a very famous duelist who uses the alias of "Leon Wilson" (レオン・ウィルソン Reon Wiruson). He joins Kaiba's KC Grand Championship tournament to help his brother get revenge on Kaiba Corporation, though he also aspired to duel Yugi Mutou. He idolizes his brother, yet realizes that Zigfried's actions are wrong. When Zigfried is disqualified and recruits Leon to help him with his plot to destroy KaibaCorp by playing The Golden Castle of Stromberg, which will release a computer virus into the system, Leon initially agrees because he is unaware of his brother's plan. During the duel with Yugi, he eventually comes to his senses and refuses to help Zigfried, but is unable to remove card from play. Yugi, however, comes up with a strategy to destroy it, while Kaiba works on stopping the virus.
[edit] Deck
Leon uses a Fairy Tale deck, using the combined special abilities of his monsters to counteract his opponents moves. His cards are noted by Rebecca Hawkins to be a near perfect balance of Magic, Trap and Monsters,and to this extent his is able to consistently continue dueling in spite of being at a disadvantage. Several of his cards such as Iron Hans and Cinderella let him summon multiple monsters in one turn.
