Noah Kaiba

He's like a young Lex Luthor.

Noah Kaiba is the central antagonist of the first half of the Virtual World Story Arc in the anime series Yu-Gi-Oh! that is adapted from manga volumes 8-38

He is the biological son of Gozaburo Kaiba, the adoptive brother of Seto and Mokuba Kaiba. Despite being the main antagonist of the Arc, he was actually a pawn to Gozaburo Kaiba.

Why He Sucks

1. Despite being written as an intelligent young boy who possess knowledge beyond human intellect that could make him come off as a very potentially written villain, Noah instead just comes off as a generic spoiled brat who will do anything to get his way.
2. He also comes off as a very unnecessary character who only appeared as an antagonist in a filler arc, and Gozaburo's plan would have still been enforced if Noah was never even a character.
3. Despite being incredibly intelligent, all of his tricks he set up in the Virtual World all came off as a cheap and immature attempt to claim everything from Seto Kaiba, and he calls it being fair and square.
4. Even his attempt to cheat was cheap. Like using Mokuba as a shield so Kaiba couldn't attack him.
5. Compared to the other Yu-Gi-Oh! villains, that had qualities that made them come off as memorable, hilarious, or just downright badass, Noah has none of those qualities, and just comes off as very forgettable.
6. While his voice actor puts in a good performance, his voice can come off as annoying.

The Only Redeeming Quality

1. Of course, he indeed does realized his father's actions.
