List of deaths

The following is a list of deaths that take place during the English anime of Yu-Gi-Oh! Though deaths in this anime are very scarce (as they are usually replaced by being sent to the Shadow Realm) some do take place, though most of these are in filler or near the end of Season 5.

Deaths

 * 1) Cecelia Pegasus: Died as a result of an illness before the events of the anime, though flashbacks make it look as though a flower of some sort swallowed her up.
 * Eru: Took a hit from a monster to save Yugi, and was digitized. Was later revived by the Mystical Elf.
 * 1) Joey Wheeler: Destroyed by the Mythic Dragon/Big Five, in the virtual world. He was later revived by the Mystical Elf.
 * 2) Mai Valentine: Destroyed by the Mythic Dragon/Big Five, in the virtual world. She was later revived by the Mystical Elf.
 * 3) Mokuba Kaiba: Took a hit from the Mythic Dragon to save Kaiba in the virtual world. He was later revived by the Mystical Elf.
 * 4) The Big Five (Gansley, Crump, Johnson, Nesbitt, and Lector): All were imprisoned in a different corner of the virtual world by Noah. When Noah destroyed the fortress that the virtual world was in, erasing the virtual world (which Yami Marik made inevitable), everyone in the virtual world was erased, including the Big Five.
 * 5) Noah Kaiba: Was erased when the fortress (containing the virtual world) exploded and detroyed the virtual world, along with everyone else in it.
 * 6) Gozaburo Kaiba: Was supposedly destroyed along with the virtual world, but managed to get into the real world as a beast of fire, and tried to eat the blimp that Kaiba and the others were on, but Kaiba activated its thrusters, escaping from his grip as he vanished for good, leaving nothing but regular fire.
 * 7) Yami Marik: During the duel with Yami, Yami played a card that switched Marik around with Yami Marik, putting his life in jeopardy from losing the duel instead of Marik. Marik realized his destiny and forfeited the duel, destroying Yami Marik. (although Yami does mention "Shadow Realm" at one point, as he is his dark side and that the duel was in the Shadow Realm he was destroyed)
 * 8) The Great Leviathan: Destroyed by Yami, releasing Dartz from its control.
 * 9) Ahmet: Was judged as not being pure enough by a statue, which transformed into a monster and ate him.
 * 10) Mahad/Dark Magician: Destroyed by the Blue Eyes White Dragon, under the control of Seto, who was possessed by Shadow Magus.
 * 11) Shadi: Took a hit from Zorc to save the Pharaoh, and was destroyed.
 * 12) Zorc: Destroyed by the light from the Creator of Light, which was the combined form of the three Egyptian Gods.
 * 13) Yami Bakura: Killed when Zorc was destroyed by the Creator of Light, as he was merged with him at the time.

Censored deaths (Shadow Realm)

 * 1) Ghost Kaiba: Trapped in the Shadow Realm by Yami with a Mind Crush.

 * 3) Mugger: Soul trapped in the Shadow Realm by Yami with a Mind Crush.
 * 4) Bonz, Sid, and Zygor: Trapped in the Shadow Realm, and swallowed by shadow clouds, by Yami Bakura. It is unknown if he ever chose to set them free. In the Japanese version, they were pulled into Hell by hands reaching out of the ground.
 * 5) Marik's father: Trapped in the Shadow Realm by Yami Marik using the Millennium Rod. In the Japanese version he stabbed him with the rod, using it as a dagger.
 * 6) Mushara: Fell into a Shadow Pit and became trapped in the Shadow Realm. In the Japanese version, he simply fell to his death and there was no shadow in the pit.

 * 8) Aknadin/Shadow Magus: Destroyed by the Blue Eyes White Dragon. His soul was trapped in the Shadow Realm, and was released when Zorc was destroyed. In the Japanese version, he is simply killed with no mention of Shadow Realm.
 * 9) Hasan: Diadankh energy depleted when he took a hit from Zorc to protect the guards, and his soul went to the Shadow Realm. His body was later destroyed, leaving some mystery as to whether or not he returned when Zorc was destroyed. In the Japanese version, he simply died the first time.
 * 10) Shada: Diadankh energy depleted when he jumped in front of the Pharaoh and took a hit from Zorc, and his soul went to the Shadow Realm and was later released when Zorc was destroyed. As usual, he was simply killed in the Japanese version.
 * 11) Isis: Diadankh energy depleted when Zorc destroyed her Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress, and as she fell her soul was trapped in the Shadow Realm. Was released once Zorc was destroyed. Was simply killed in the Japanese version.
 * 12) Shimon: Diadankh energy depleted when Zorc destroyed his Exodia, and his soul went to the Shadow Realm, where it was eventually released with the destruction of Zorc. In the Japanese, he was killed instead.
 * 13) Seto: Diadankh energy depleted when his Blue Eyes White Dragon was destroyed. His soul went to the Shadow Realm and was released when Zorc was destroyed, and took the Pharaoh's place after he left. In the Japanese version, he is killed but appears to come back to life.
