00:00Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the top 20 times cheaters
00:11got owned in anime.
00:1320.
00:14Wong – Mobile Fighter G Gundam
00:25Domon Karsu was an absolute beast throughout the 13th Gundam Fight tournament, and it seemed
00:30like Wong wouldn't be able to take him out of the game the old-fashioned way.
00:35So he of course had to resort to bending the rules by orchestrating a tag team match with
00:41one slight handicap.
00:48While teaming up with Allenby to take on the fighters of Neo Singapore and Neo Malaysia,
00:54Wong activated a gravity device which would weigh the King of Hearts down.
01:06Of course, these slimy fighters didn't take into account that Domon gets through pretty
01:11much every obstacle with sheer manly willpower each and every time.
01:16It wasn't long before he and Allenby were taking down their opponents with simultaneous
01:21erupting burning fingers.
01:23What's even closer?
01:2819.
01:32Joe – Devil May Cry The Animated Series You wouldn't really expect Dante to spend
01:38an episode playing poker, but that's exactly what happened here as he traded in a sword
01:44for a handful of chips.
01:45In the episode, he's attempting to find an elusive gambling demon, and he has to contend
01:50with some of the sneakiest players around.
01:53One of which is Joe, a well-known figure in the scene who has the strange ability to
01:58change the type of card he's holding.
02:08Unfortunately for him, he didn't realise that his weak-looking opponent had a better
02:13hand.
02:20As such, he doesn't just lose the round, he gets spontaneously killed by the eerie
02:25curse that is orchestrating the game.
02:3118.
02:32Jamira – Duel Masters While Shinobu and his pals are practising their
02:37dueling techniques, a cocky red-haired boy known as Jamira suddenly shows up and challenges
02:43our protagonist to a duel.
02:46Just as they're about to begin, Jamira points to the changing weather to distract
02:50Shobu and switches out his shuffled deck with a pre-arranged one.
02:59For anyone who's ever played any sort of card game, you know this gives you an incredible
03:04advantage.
03:05This cunning trick ends up being for nothing, as not only does he get found out, but loses
03:10the duel anyway.
03:18This wouldn't be the last time Jamira tried to cheat to win, as later down the line he
03:23tried to hypnotise Shobu during a duel, which obviously didn't work.
03:3117.
03:32Spear Hero and Malty S. Malremarch – The Rising of the Shield Hero
03:38Ever since her disgusting betrayal, Malty had been using any means necessary to discredit
03:43Naofumi's name.
03:45After declaring Loot Village to be under the rule of Motoyasu, she challenges the shield
03:49hero to a race.
03:57To absolutely no one's surprise, Malty uses underhanded tactics during it, getting her
04:02soldiers to use magic against him.
04:12Of course, this is a complete waste of time, and thanks to Filo's unmatched speed, Naofumi
04:18wins the race.
04:19But this doesn't stop Malty from claiming that he himself cheated, which is quickly
04:24shut down by Mirelia's envoy.
04:3416.
04:35Yu Otozaka – Charlotte You may appear to be your average high school
04:40student, but he actually possesses an incredible power that allows him to take over anyone's
04:45body for five seconds at a time.
04:48Of course, he ends up using these four nefarious means, the biggest of which is cheating on
04:54exams.
05:02Unfortunately for him, the student council knows exactly what he's up to, and tells
05:07him to retake a test while no one else is.
05:10He's caught on camera by Tamori, who gets Takajo to chase after him when he escapes.
05:21When the student council member finally catches up with Yu, he showcases his own powers and
05:27takes him on the most frightening ride of a lifetime.
05:30Even after all this, Yu continues to resist and gets knocked out by Tamori.
05:4015.
05:44Tompa – Hunter Hunter Unlike all the other entrants in the Hunter
05:49exam, Tompa doesn't actually want to pass.
05:52The self-proclaimed rookie crusher actually wants to cheat the system and take out as
05:56many entrants as possible with deviously underhanded tactics.
06:01One of his worst ways is offering newcomers spiked drinks to force them out.
06:10Thankfully Tompa finally got his comeuppance after trying to trick Leorio.
06:16He gets kicked right in the face by Kurapika, sending him spinning.
06:25To add insult to injury, he then gets tied up in an incredibly embarrassing manner.
06:3314.
06:37Daniel J. Darby – JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Stardust Crusaders
06:42Not only is Darby an expert gambler, but he's also a complete and utter mastermind when
06:47it comes to cheating.
06:56He proudly boasts this fact, stating that if he isn't caught, then everything is fair
07:02game.
07:03After winning wages on the souls of both Polnareff and Joseph, it's up to Jotaro to take on
07:08Darby in a poker game.
07:10In order to defeat this deceptive gambler, Jotaro pulls off the bluff of the century,
07:16even wagering the soul of his mother, Holly.
07:28In a panic, Darby can't tell if he's cheating or not, and works himself up so badly that
07:34he becomes unconscious, giving Jotaro the win.
07:4113.
07:42Raventail – Fairy Tail Throughout the Grand Magic games, the Raventail
07:47Guild have been using some extremely underhanded tactics to get them some victories.
07:59But it was in this showdown with Laxus, where they truly revealed how low they were willing
08:04to go.
08:06After using illusion magic to hide what exactly is going on in the battlefield, Alexei reveals
08:11that he is in fact Laxus's deadbeat father, Ivan Dreyer.
08:21He then sends out all of the other members to interfere in their fight, five on one.
08:27Unfortunately for them, Laxus is an absolute beast, and goes on an electrifying rampage,
08:33taking them out one after another.
08:35Obviously, he saved the best for last, delivering such a shocking punch to his father that it
08:40broke the illusion altogether.
08:4712.
08:51Anthony – Pokemon During Ash's journey throughout the Hoenn
08:55region, he comes across an unofficial gym run by a guy named Anthony, that claims to
09:01house the world's strongest Pokemon.
09:03Despite not giving out a gym badge, Ash is more than intrigued, and takes on Anthony's
09:08Pelipper.
09:11Unusually, the Pokemon is able to do all sorts of attacks that it wouldn't usually
09:25be able to, and the battle ends in a draw.
09:29As it turns out, Anthony put Pokemon inside its large beak, creating this weird illusion.
09:38Out of all the people, it's Team Rocket who put him in his place, after discovering
09:43his secrets and taking over his scheme.
09:45No one outcriminals Jesse, James, and Meowth.
09:5511.
09:56Emilia Ludwell – The Misfit of Demon King Academy
10:00As a pure-blood royal, Hero Academy teacher Emilia is extremely prejudiced towards mixed-blood
10:06demons, even if they're her own students.
10:10During the Magic Sword tournament, Emilia attacks Unus's own mother in an attempt
10:14to steal his sword and get him disqualified.
10:26Unfortunately for her, Anos is actually the legendary Demon King reincarnated, and shows
10:31up just in time to thwart her scheme.
10:39After embarrassing her in a one-on-one fight, Anos proceeds to kill and reincarnate her
10:44as a mixed-blood demon, the very thing she despises.
10:5210.
10:55Itsuki Tsumuragi – Kakekurui
10:58Let's get this out of the way first.
11:00Practically every opponent Yumeko has gambled against has tried to dupe her in some way
11:05and lost.
11:07Though out of them all, this one might be the most satisfying.
11:18As something of a spoiled princess with a thing for fingernails, Tsumuragi might have
11:23thought that her cheating ways would have snatched her the prize in a heartbeat.
11:27After all, with a deck of cards rigged to show unique patterns, when exposed to heat,
11:33there's no way Yumeko could win, right?
11:43Not so, since Yumeko not only outplays her, but ups the crazy factor to infinity, pressuring
11:49Tsumuragi for a rematch until she literally breaks down in tears.
11:589.
12:02Etsuya Eizan – Food Wars
12:05You almost have to admire how in-your-face this guy is with his greed.
12:13Obsessed with using the culinary arts for profit over anything else, it's no wonder
12:18Eizan backed the villainous Azumi Nakari when he turned Totsuki Academy into a totalitarian
12:24society.
12:25Now, with all the power in his corner, Eizan had no issue when it came to openly bribing
12:31judges in order to win any and all shokugeki against rebellious students.
12:46Of course, Soma isn't your average chef.
12:49Since he managed to conjure up some chicken that tasted so good, the judges had no choice
12:54but to declare him the winner.
12:56The look on Eizan's face says it all.
13:038.
13:05Otsuki Kaiji – Against All Rules
13:09With way too much time on his hands, there was nothing that this foreman loved to do
13:13more than manipulate the prisoners of their forced labor camp into playing chinchiririn
13:18with him.
13:26However, as opposed to a mere distraction, this was a ruse in order for him and his cronies
13:35to fleece the masses of what little earnings they had – all made possible thanks to special
13:41dice that always landed high.
13:46This spree of good fortune didn't last long, however, as Kaiji not only managed to
13:50expose this setup, but then proceeded to use said dice to rob Otsuki of every last bit
13:57of money he had to his name.
14:047.
14:05Makoto Hanamiya – Kuroko's Basketball
14:09Just because basketball is technically regarded as a contact sport doesn't give you the
14:14right to start throwing elbows.
14:24As one of the uncrowned kings, Hanamiya certainly has talent – it's just a shame he mostly
14:29uses it to foul his way to victory by having his teammates kick the crap out of other players
14:35in subtle ways.
14:43Compared to the bone and a jerk to the nth degree, it's kind of amazing that this guy
14:48hasn't been banned from the court.
14:50Well, we just had to settle for Seiren owning them in the game.
15:046.
15:08Bandit Keith – Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters
15:11Why is a grown-ass man spending his days trying to trounce people in a children's card game
15:16via unfair tactics?
15:18Because he's from America, that's why.
15:29He's got the bandana to prove it.
15:31Hoping for riches and fame, Keith did practically everything possible to ensure that he walked
15:36out of Duelist Kingdom the winner.
15:44Unfortunately for him, no matter how many bonus cards he snuck into his deck, he still
15:48can't best Joey's hard work and determination.
15:52When that failed, he flat-out pulled a gun on Pegasus – unless, of course, you're
15:56watching the 4Kids version, then it just looks like he's pointing at him menacingly.
16:05By the way, he soon finds himself treading water, literally.
16:135.
16:15The Foxy Pirates – One Piece In what universe is tangoing with the Straw
16:20Hats a good idea?
16:30You only need to take one look at Zoro to know that he means business, and yet Foxy
16:35and his crew still thought they had a chance.
16:38Granted, these battles are basically comic relief, but that doesn't excuse how this
16:43fox-faced fiend tried to cheat at every turn.
16:56He picked each contest in his crew's favour, implemented underhanded tactics, even tried
17:01to blind-sight Luffy during his boxing match.
17:15They may have been wily in their ways, but nothing tops Luffy and company when it comes
17:20to overcoming the impossible.
17:274.
17:31Oberon – Sora Online This so-called Fairy King isn't so much
17:36a gracious ruler as he is a gamer who really needs to be put on some kind of watchlist.
17:48Willing to do anything to claim Asuna and take out Kirito, Oberon happily twisted the
17:54rules of Alfheim Online to his advantage.
18:03Considering there's nothing this guy hates more than a fair fight, using illegal techniques
18:08like gravity magic in order to hold Kirito in place while he committed some scummy acts
18:14is hardly a surprise.
18:16Luffy enjoyed himself, since it wouldn't be long until he got his ass handed to him
18:20both inside and outside the game.
18:263.
18:28Boruto Uzumaki – Boruto Naruto Next Generations Are you proud of yourself, young man?
18:35Just look at what you did.
18:43One unfortunate combination of teenage issues, swollen ego and manipulation all led to this
18:49shinobi throwing away his big day, when he was exposed for using an illegal ninja tool
18:55during the tuning exams.
19:03His excuse?
19:04It's all your fault, dad, because you never trained me.
19:07I hate you.
19:08Hey kid, did you ever hear the one about how your dad spent his childhood isolated by the
19:12whole village, and yet managed to stick to his guns and relied on his own strength to
19:17take him places?
19:18Didn't see him whining about it.
19:20Now go to your room.
19:272.
19:31Frost – Dragon Ball Super We hate to stereotype, but it seems no matter
19:36where you look in the multiverse, Frieza's lookalikes are always clinging to the dark
19:41side.
19:47Frost might not be a genocidal maniac, but he's hardly leaning towards lawful good.
19:52After all, when it came time for Universe 6 and 7 to bump heads, he fooled everyone
19:57into thinking he was a stand-up guy, before suddenly turning the tables on his opponents
20:03with one dirty trick after the next.
20:10He might have gotten away with it too, if not for the fact there's nothing in all
20:14of space-time stronger than Vegeta's hatred for all things Frieza.
20:411.
20:42Masho – Yu Yu Hakusho Even in a tournament filled with demons, these
20:48guys manage to stand out as the most dishonest, underhanded, devious and asshole-ish group
20:54you're likely to come across.
21:04Willing to do anything to win and backed by their slimeball manager, Butajiri, their meddling
21:09almost spelled doom for Team Uramashi.
21:22With Kuwabara forced to fight while injured, and Genkai and Hiei locked away from fighting,
21:28it almost looked like they would walk away the winners.
21:30But it wasn't enough to keep Yusuke's group of badasses down.
21:37Yep, these folks were truly the worst.
