A former Pro League duelist who came from a poverty-stricken family, Mr. Stein fosters a grudge towards Jaden for ruining the interest of other students in his lectures due to the boy's lazy approach to lessons. He once dueled The D but fell ill before being able to complete the match. (This was because he was forced to study to become a teacher. He was so exhausted he could not continue. According to his flashback when Stein could no longer duel professionally \"Scar-Knight\" \"transformed into a bitter hardened version of himself\" creating the separate Scab Scar-Knight.) He prevents Jaden from reaching \"Professor Viper\" in the lab where the monkey Wheeler was trained, but is defeated. Afterwards, when he attempts to pick up his precious \"Scar-Knight\" card, he seemingly falls to his death into the abyss. In the English version, he is characterized as a parody of Ben Stein, particularly Stein's role in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.","spoilers":[],"attributes":null,"id":"eErNQrmmgV","posts":null,"mappings":[{"service":"kitsu/character","serviceId":"7833"},{"service":"myanimelist/character","serviceId":"12147"}],"created":"2017-11-03T11:13:50Z","createdBy":"","edited":"","editedBy":"","likes":null,"isDraft":false}
