He also ended the attacks on Astral World because he feared its destruction would destroy Earth as well. When Faker eventually succumbed to his illness and died, Heartland hid his death and continued running Faker's operation on his own. During this time, he hacked the database of the pharmaceutical company that made Faker's medication and used it to extort even more victims. He began working with Faker in order to steal the limitless energy machine Faker was developing with his assistant Luna. His specialty was worming his way into the confidence of those who were close to death and extorting their fortunes, with 689 victims to date. In his Duel with Kyoji Yagumo, Heartland's true nature is revealed as that of a depraved and greedy con artist. He does have another, more flamboyant and vain side connected with his Heartland Theme Park of which he describes himself as the "Star." Like his anime counterpart, he also occasionally uses the catchphrase "Heart Burning!" He fiercely defends his secrets and is not above killing those who find out the truth about what he does to protect himself. Heartland is a cunning and heartless ruler, secretly in league with the malevolent designs of Dr. To the people of his city, Heartland appears to be a benevolent, fun-loving leader (this depiction especially apparent in his appearance as mascot for Heartland Theme Park). With this costume, he also wears a top hat with a similar style as well as a bow tie covered in spots. In Heartland Theme Park (and when he Duels with his " Land Power" Field Spell Card), he appears wearing a golden suit covered in pink hearts identical to his anime counterpart's costume during the World Duel Carnival. His hair is a similar green to his suit with a lighter green fringe. He also sports a pair of stylish orange glasses with a crimson "V" shape (similar to a heart) in the center. Heartland is usually seen wearing a green suit, yellow shirt, and orange tie.
