If you liked the other series, you'll really like this one because it fills in a lot of missing information. I would recommend this show to both fans and haters of Duel Monsters. And you get to see some real action as opposed to half an hour of children's card games. It's fun to watch, because the bad guys always get what they deserve. One of the main characters is picked on, Yami challenges them to a shadow game and wins, the episode ends. The episodes are really predictable, for the most part.

And Yami challenges people to shadow games, which end in insanity or death. Mokuba's character is 100% different, Kaiba is somehow more of a jerk, Yugi is tinier and he gets beat up one per episode. There are a lot of changes from this to Duel Monsters. While the card game was certainly present in this series, it wasn't nearly as important. Upon any injustice toward him, Yami Yuugi takes over Yuugi's body and forces the opponent into a "Shadow Game." The stakes are high as whoever loses shall have a taste of the darkness that resides within their own heart.įirst of all, this series is a LOT different from 'Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters'. Believing that solving the puzzle will grant him his wish, he completes the puzzle, unleashing a new personality within him-the soul of the "King of Games."ĭark, twisted, strong, and reliable, the new personality named Yami Yuugi is the exact opposite of Yuugi. Yuugi treasures his Millennium Puzzle, an ancient Egyptian artifact that was brought into his grandfather's game shop.



But most of all, Yuugi wishes for a true friend who understands him and would never betray him. Katsuya Jonouchi, who is almost always accompanied by his verbal sparring partner Hiroto Honda, doesn't seem like a bad person either, despite always bringing Yuugi trouble. His beautiful childhood friend, Anzu Mazaki, is always there to stand up for him, but he can't depend on her forever. Bullies often target someone frail and weak-someone exactly like Yuugi Mutou.
