Card Appearances:Dark Magician

Anime
This card is Yugi's signature monster in all story arcs. It was first seen used in Yugi's first duel against Kaiba (to destroy Judge Man), but was taken out by Kaiba's Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

In the first match of the Duelist Kingdom Finals (inside Pegasus' Castle), Yugi summoned the Dark Magician, but Mai destroyed it using a combination of Shadow of Eyes and Mirror Wall.

The Dark Magician is the reincarnation of Mahado, a servent of Atem (Yami Yugi). He was the owner of the Millennium Ring before he was killed by Zork (Bakura).


 * In the Capsule Monsters saga, There is a Duel Armor that uses this card. It gives the user the ability to use Spell Cards or Trap Cards to attack or defend the user.
