Current Events > What was the point of Tristan in Yu-Gi-Oh!? (possible spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

He was probably the most useless main character in the entire show. He was nothing more than a sidekick to Joey. He also barely knew the rules of the card game, which I don't even know how that's possible when he's a main character in a show about a children's card game and he witnesses several duels first-hand.

Really, the guy is nothing more than a glorified cheerleader, except he's a male cheerleader. Why would they make a guy and not have him do anything? He has no special powers, no redeeming qualities, and contributed nothing to the plot.

joey was way more than a sidekick to yugi wtf

I imagine he's a standover from the manga where he and Joey were legitimate criminals at one point.

Good point. Removed.

In the first 1998 anime, he was a member of the school cleaning committee.

He was also useless in that anime too. :/

Glorified? He barely even counted as a cheerleader. He is almost nothing.

He was the muscle of the group.

He gives Duke and Serenity a reason to be there huehuehue

you've got to have one character who doesn't know anything about dueling so new viewers don't feel isolated i guess.
