A sexual predator, who attempted to extort Mazaki Anzu. In the English dub, his role is changed to a mugger. the jersey man's role is partly based on the escaped prisoner from the manga. The name "jersey man" is used in the japanese ending credits and is derived from the sports outfit he wore.
The jersey man took a photo of Mazaki Anzu working at Burger World. Since having part time was against school rules, he used it to blackmail her. He left a copy of the photo in Anzu's locker along with a note saying "Meet me in the gym's storage room after school." Anzu suspected it was Jonouchi Katsuya or Mutou Yugi, since they knew she worked there, and went to the storage room to confront them. However the jersey man appaered with a video camera and recorded shots of her thighs and bust. he ordered her to stay quiet and do as he said, or the school would find out about her job, resulting expulsion.
In the English dub, he pretended the note was fromYugi and it read "Tea we found a space in the old warehouse on Spring Street that you could use for a dance studio. Meet us there after school." The photo was replaced with a picture of ballet shoes. When Tea arrived at the location, but could not see Yugi or Joey, she began to suspect they wereplaying a joke on her. The jersey man confronted her, but did not have a camera. Instead, he demanded that she hand over all the money in her purse.)
Mutou Yugi entered the storage room attempted to fight oof the jersey man, but was thrown into a gym horse, knocking him unconscious. Anzu then grabbed the man by arm and bit him, but was pushed away and also knocking her out. While the jersey man, filmed Anzu sitting unconscious, Yugi switched to Dark Yugi and challenged the man to a game. (Shots of him filming Anzu were removed in the English dub.)
The rules of the game were that each player would draw a card from Yugi's Duel Monsters Deck. Whoever drew the weaker card would lose and be sent to the World of Darkness. (In the English dub, yugi said "If you win, you go free, but if you lose, I will decide your fate.") The jersey man did not take him seriously, but drew a card when Dark Yugi asked if he was afraid. he drew "Curse of the Dragon", which was eaker than the 'Black Magician" that Dark Yugi drew afterwards. However the man laughed and said it was just a game, whereas men determine winners based on strength. He prepared to punch Dark Yugi, but was rendered motionless as Dark yugi inflicted the Mind Crush Penalty Game on him. Anzu regained consciousness as Dark Yugi told the jersey man to repent for what he has done by living in a nightmare. (In the English dub, Dark Yugi's dialogue was changed to asking Anzu if she was okay.)
Anzu recalled this incident during Duelst Kingdom, while noting how it seemed like Yugi as two people. Yugi did not remember what happened, just that when regained his senses the man was unconscious. Responding to Anzu's comments he admitted that he thought he sometimes transforms into a different version of himself, but Anzu said not to worry about it, that he would be Yugi. (In the English dub, Anzu said "Well whatever's going on with you, both of you are really good guys. Trust me.")
