Yami Bakura (Duel Links)

Yami Bakura is a playable Legendary Duelist in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links. This is a video game depiction of Yami Bakura, a character from the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime.

He appears in-game after the player reaches Stage 13 of Duel World (DM), at which point his Character Unlock Missions become available. Prior to December 21, 2017, he was exclusive to the special event Fear the Deck of Terror! The Destiny Board of Doom, only being able to be dueled or unlocked during the event.

Black Gate Keys are normally required to Duel Yami Bakura at the Gate. During the special event Fear the Deck of Terror! The Destiny Board of Doom, 10-sided dice are required instead.

Trivia

 * Strangely, his eyes are red instead of brown eyes.
 * His use of "Dark Master - Zorc" is a reference to the Monster World game from the manga.
 * Unusually, his sprite when he is defeated shows him with a triumphant grin, while his sprite when he is the victor shows him taken aback. This may have been an oversight on the part of the programmers.
 * In the voice lines found in the game files, Dimensional Fissure is said as a Trap Card but in the game it is a Spell Card.
