Biography
History
Yuugi lives with his mother and grandfather, Sugoroku in the family game shop, Kame Game. By the pilot, his father is away on business.
Yuugi found the Millennium Puzzle on a shelf in the shop. He spent eight unsuccessful years trying to solve it.
School arc
One day, Yuugi stayed in the classroom during lunch time, declining an offer to play basketball with the rest of class. As he worked on the unassembled Millennium Puzzle, he was interrupted by Honda and Jonouchi who took the puzzle box from him. Jonouchi managed to secretly steal a piece and offered the box back if Yuugi would punch him, which Yuugi refused to do. Anzu arrived and caught the box midair as Jonouchi tossed it to Honda. Jonouchi and Honda left after Anzu told them off. Yuugi then told Anzu that the Puzzle was a memento of his grandfather and he had spent eight years trying to solve the Puzzle, believing a wish will be granted a wish upon completing it.[2]
The hall monitor Ushio believed Yuugi was being bullied by Honda and Jonouchi, so he took it on himself to be Yuugi's bodyguard, although Yuugi denied that Honda and Jonouchi had been troubling him. Regardless Ushio beat them both up and showed them to Yuugi. Yuugi protested as Ushio continued to hit them, resulting in Ushio attacking him too. Afterwards Ushio imposed bodyguard fees of ¥200,000 and threatened him with a knife should he not pay.[2]
That night, Yuugi worked on the Puzzle, while thinking of way to make the money. Unlike other days, he was able to assemble the Puzzle more easily and quickly, until he realized the last piece was missing. As he searched the room, his Grandfather appeared and gave him the last piece, which Jonouchi had returned earlier.[2]
Yuugi solves the Millennium Puzzle.
When Yuugi assembled the Puzzle, he became the Guardian of the Shadow Games and his body came to bear host for the spirit of the 3,000-year-old Nameless Pharaoh. The spirit, known as Dark Yuugi shared Yuugi's body, unbeknownst to Yuugi.
Dark Yuugi arranged to meet Ushio and defeated him in a Shadow Game, inflicted a Penalty Game on Ushio. Dark Yuugi changed back to Yuugi, who had no knowledge of what has passed.[2]
The next day at school, Jonouchi answered Yuugi's riddle. "something you can show, but can't see", saying it's friendship and that they're friends.[2]
A ZTV director arrived at Domino High School to make a documentary about bullying, Caught on Camera: School Violence. Seeing a TV van, Jonouchi spread rumors that there was a star at their school, but Yuugi was skeptical of this. The director's assistant, Fujita overheard Yuugi and Jonouchi mention a star. He lied to Yuugi that there was a star and he could meet them behind the gym. When Yuugi arrived Fujita proceeded to attack Yuugi to fake a bullying scene on camera. Jonouchi managed to break-up the fight, but couldn't cease the production. However Yuugi switched to Dark Yuugi, who later confronted the director and beat him in a Shadow Game.[3]
The untalented singer, Sozoji, forced Yuugi to sell tickets to his concert. After Hanasaki tried to sell Yuugi a ticket, Yuugi took all Hanasaki's tickets off his hands. Knowing neither of them were going to be able to sell the tickets, he tried to spare Hanasaki the burden. The day of the concert, Yuugi informed Sozoji that he couldn't sell any tickets. As punishment, Sozoji forced Yuugi to listen to music at full blast and revealed Hanasaki, beaten-up, as the audience for the next song. Dark Yuugi once again took over and beat the bully in a Shadow Game.[4]
Yuugi discovers that Anzu is working at Burger World.
Yuugi was keen to eat at Burger World with his friends one day after school. However Anzu strongly discouraged this idea. Yuugi and Jonouchi noticed Anzu was acting suspicious and avoiding walking home from school with them. To get to the bottom of it, they followed her home from school and found that she had been working at Burger World. Since part time jobs were against school rules, she got them to promise they wouldn't tell. An escaped convict entered the restaurant, took Anzu hostage and blindfolded her. Everyone else had to lie on the floor apart from Yuugi, who was forced to serve him vodka and Lucky Stripe cigarettes. Dark Yuugi took control of Yuugi's body and faced the convict in a Shadow Game. Anzu thought his voice sounded like Yuugi's, but his actions and bravery were completely different. Dark Yuugi defeated the convict, setting him alight. Yuugi was oblivious to the game when he regained control of his body.[5]
Yuugi became envious of the alleged psychic Kokurano, as he tried to seduce Anzu. For Yuugi's disbelief in his powers, Kokurano said that in Yuugi's future countless letters would fall from the heavens and bring disaster upon him. Later that day Kokurano knocked over bookshelves on top of Yuugi. Dark Yuugi then emerged to punish Kokurano and save Anzu.[6]
For the Domino High school festival, the class followed Yuugi's suggestion to set up a section for Carnival Games. However Goro Inogashira and his classmates tore down their stand to make way for their own. Yuugi got injured trying to protect their stand and was taken to the infirmary. Anzu took care of him for a while, but after she took her eyes off him he disappeared, having changed to Dark Yuugi in order to get revenge on Goro.[7]
Honda becomes friends with Yuugi.
Despite Honda's wishes, Jonouchi let Yuugi in on the secret that Honda had a crush on Miho Nosaka, and asked him for help. Yuugi suggested that they browse his family's store for a present, where they decided on a love letter jigsaw puzzle. Having never sent a love letter before, Honda got Yuugi to write one and threatened him, should Miho not like it. The next day at school, the teacher Ms. Chono found the puzzle on Miho's desk before Miho. She confiscated it and demanded the sender come forward. Yuugi, Jonouchi and Honda all claimed to have done so, but Chono continued to solve the puzzle to find out who really sent it and planned to punish the others for lying. Dark Yuugi emerged and turns the puzzle into a Shadow Game; as Chono continued to complete the puzzle, she felt the pain she was inflicting on others. The makeup on her face began to crack-up, revealing her true ugly self. Chono fled the room, sparing the boys any trouble. After Miho turned Honda down for a date, Yuugi and Jonouchi treated him to a hamburger to cheer him up. Since then Honda became good friends with Yuugi.[8]
After Jonouchi bought a pair of Air Muscle shoes from the Junky Scorpion, he, Yuugi and Honda were ambushed by the Muscle Hunters, who stole the shoes. After finding out that they were sent by the store owner, Dark Yuugi emerged and returns to the store, to win back Jonouchi's shoes. Not knowing how he got the shoes back, Yuugi returned them to Jonouchi.[9]
Yuugi introduced Jonouchi and Anzu to Duel Monsters at Kame Game. Seto Kaiba arrived and took interest in Yuugi's grandfather's rare "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" card. Unable to buy it off him, he attempted to steal it from Yuugi the next day at school, by switching it with a counterfeit. Despite noticing this, Yuugi waited until no one else was around, before asking for the card back. Kaiba denied stealing it, but when Yuugi persisted, he stuck him with a briefcase mocking Yuugi and his grandfather's attitude. Dark Yuugi then took control and defeated Kaiba in a Shadow Game of Duel Monsters, winning back the card and giving Kaiba a Penalty Game, making him believe he is in the Duel Monsters Spirit World, where he experienced death.[10]
Yuugi asks the Millennium Puzzle to help him find Jonouchi.
After realizing Jonouchi had missed school for the first time, Yuugi, Anzu and Honda investigated. They visit Jonouchi's apartment, but got scared off by his father, who mistook them for Jonouchi and yelled at them for disappearing for two days. The trio searched the city and found Jonouchi with Hirutani's gang attacking a boy. Yuugi ran over to ask Jonouchi what was going on, but Jonouchi denied knowing him. As Yuugi continued to plea with Jonouchi, one of the gang members punched Yuugi in the face. Yuugi refused to believe Jonouchi had changed so they followed the gang to J'z. Honda insisted that Yuugi and Anzu wait outside, for their own safety, while he went inside. However Honda could only report that the gang had left, so the trio split-up to look for Jonouchi. Unable to find Jonouchi, Yuugi clasped the Millennium Puzzle and asked it to tell him where Jonouchi was. Dark Yuugi took control of his body and went to Hirutani's torture chamber, where the gang had Jonouchi tied-up. Dark Yuugi managed to take out the gang in a Shadow Game and relinquished control to Yuugi, who escorted Jonouchi out.[11][12]
Yuugi read that there was to be an Egyptian exhibition at the Domino City Museum in the newspaper, Japan Daily News. Two months later the exhibition took place. Since his grandfather knew Professor Yoshimori, the archaeologist who discovered the tomb, Yuugi was allowed come for free and invited his friends too. Anzu noted that Egypt is where the Millennium Puzzle came from and reminded Yuugi that his grandfather had said all the archaeologists involved in finding the puzzle had died mysterious deaths. Yuugi assured his friends that he isn't cursed. However he thought to himself that he had suffered memory loss, but opted not to tell his friends thinking they'd find it creepy.[13]
Yuugi's two soul rooms.
Outside the museum, Yuugi was introduced to Professor Yoshimori, who in turn introduced him to Professor Kanekura. Kanekura begged Yuugi to let him put the Millennium Puzzle on display and Yuugi reluctantly allowed him to borrow it for one day. During the exhibition, Yuugi didn't feel right without the Puzzle. Yoshimori showed Yuugi and his friends around and Yuugi bumped into Shadi, who claimed to be bearing the tears of the mummy that was unable to cry itself. After the exhibition closed, Yuugi returned to collect his Puzzle. Unable to find Kanekura, he met Shadi and explained what he was looking for. Shadi was astonished to learn that Yuugi may be the one who solved the Puzzle. To check, he used his Millennium Key to look into Yuugi's soul room. However he found two rooms, one for Yuugi and one for Dark Yuugi.[13] Shadi left Yuugi's mind, after he was defeated by Dark Yuugi. He returned the Puzzle to Yuugi, saying that there is no need to thank him as he is in his debt, since Yuugi's other self had saved him. However Yuugi laughed at the idea of there being another person living inside him.[14]
After hearing the news of Kanekura's unexpected death, Yuugi, Sugoroku, Jonouchi and Anzu went to Domino University to cheer him up. However Yoshimori, possessed by Shadi, started attacking Yuugi's friends.[15] Shadi redecorates Anzu's soul room and ordered the other Yuugi to appear. He told Yuugi that he can make Anzu die by commanding her to do so. This prompted Dark Yuugi to appear.[16]
Dark Yuugi faced Shadi is a Shadow Game in order to save his friends and defeated him. Anzu and Jonouchi saw Yuugi shortly after he won the game and notices he had been acting differently. They approached him over this matter, but Dark Yuugi relinquished control to Yuugi, causing them to think they'd been mistaken.[17]
Yuugi got a Digital Pet, which he named U2. At school, he connected it Jonouchi's pet, where it initially got bullied, but they started to get along afterwards. After Kujirada's pet ate Jonouchi's and Anzu's pets, he connected it to U2. Initially U2 got chased, but then used the data it incorporated from its connection with Jonouchi's pet to transform to a more powerful form. The powered-up U2 struck Kujirada's pet defeating it. After U2 reached its life expectancy, Yuugi stayed awake to watch him disappear.[18]
Death-T
Kaiba's brother Mokuba, approaches Yuugi in search of revenge. Using his gang, who are armed with dangerous weapons, he forces Yuugi into a game of Capsule Monster Chess. As Mokuba's minions try to mess with Yuugi's Millennium Puzzle, Dark Yuugi emerges, as Mokuba had hoped for. Even though Mokuba rigged the dispenser to give Yuugi low level monsters for the game, Dark Yuugi accepts the ante of having one of Yuugi's fingers cut off should he lose, provided he may subject Mokuba to a Penalty Game, should Mokuba lose. Dark Yuugi wins and Mokuba warns him Death-T is coming, before he believes himself to be trapped in a giant capsule, as his penalty.[19]
At an arcade, Yuugi hears rumors of Kaiba is building the ultimate game. He takes his mind off it, by playing a fighting game. He receives multiple challenges from Feng Long, defeating him each time. Not too pleased with this Long beats up Yuugi and steals the Millennium Puzzle. After Jonouchi sees what happened he chases down Feng Long and wins the Puzzle back in a fight.[20]
Shortly after leaving the arcade, Yuugi and Jonouchi are invited via limousine to Kaiba's mansion. At the mansion, Mokuba treats them to a meal, which turns out to be a game called Russian Roulette Dinner, in which he poisons Jonouchi. In order to save Jonouchi Dark Yuugi emerges and defeats Mokuba, despite him cheating.[21]
The next day, Kaiba takes Yuugi and Jonouchi to Kaiba Land as special guests. He treats them to a special show. However the show turns out to be Kaiba facing Yuugi's grandfather in a game of Duel Monsters inside a Battle Box. Kaiba defeats Sugoroku using his 3 "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" and tears up Sugoroku's after he wins. Kaiba subjects him to an artificial Penalty Game to blackmail Yuugi into competing in Death-T.[22] Sugoroku hands Yuugi his Deck to use against Kaiba, before being rushed to hospital.[23]
Yuugi receives his grandfather's Deck.
Jonouchi insists on helping Yuugi. Honda who'd brought Johji to Kaiba Land comes out of the crowd to help Yuugi too. Much to everyone's surprise they are greeted by Anzu as they start the first stage. Anzu, who is working there, explains the rules of the shootout game they're about to play. They players basically take out their opponent's by shooting the sensor on their vest. However Kaiba has hired professional hitmen, armed with lethal guns as their opponents, while Yuugi and his friends guns are totally ineffective.[23] Jonouchi manages to kick out one of the opponents, while Honda and Johji use Anzu's working gun to take out the other two in a fake surrender.[24]
During the second stage, Yuugi and his friends resist screaming on an electric chair ride.[25] The ride takes them to a haunted mansion, where they get their hands stuck in a guillotine. Yuugi is made think fast as he solves a riddle in time to save the group from getting their hands sliced off.[26] In the final part of the stage, Jonouchi is locked in a room, where he faces the Chopman in a deathmatch. While the Chopman's weapon is stuck, Yuugi diverts Jonouchi's attention to a candlestick he can use to pick the lock on his cuff. He then instructs Jonouchi to lock the cuff onto the door with the candle slipped inside it. After the Chopman unsticks his weapon he yanks the chain, ripping out the door. Jonouchi makes his escape, while the candle hits the tar covered floor, incinerating the Chopman.[27]
At the start of the third stage, the friends are left waiting in a empty room for a long time. Yuugi uses the time to apologize to his friends and blames himself for dragging them into this. Jonouchi seizes him, demanding he never say that again. Jonouchi and Honda then admit that through Yuugi, they have come to like themselves. Anzu asks them to hold out their hands as draws a smiley face on them. If they end up taking separate paths in life, she tells them to remember this symbol and they'll remember being friends.[28]
For the first time in the manga, Yuugi confesses that he thinks there is "another Yuugi".
After the challenge starts, blocks fall from the ceiling, while the gang climb them in order to escape through a hole in the wall, high off the ground. Anzu makes use of her dancing skills to read the rhythm the blocks are falling and help the others avoid them. However Honda gets his coat, stuck under a block, while the others make their escape.[28]
Upset over what happened to Honda, Yuugi admits to Jonouchi and Anzu that he believes there is another Yuugi living inside him. He had held this information back before, in fear that they won't want to be friends with him, knowing this. The group proceed to the third stage, where they knowingly see Yuugi change to Dark Yuugi for the first time, as he prepares to face Mokuba in another game of Capsule Monster Chess.[29]
Dark Yuugi defeats Mokuba and saves him from the artificial Penalty Game.[30] He proceeds to defeat Kaiba in a game of Duel Monsters in the final stage.[31] As a penalty, he dispels Kaiba's evil half.[32]
After the final stage, Yuugi is reunited with Honda, who is saved by Mokuba. From that day on, Yuugi remembered all the battles he and Dark Yuugi had fought.[32]
Anzu gives Yuugi a love compatibility tester, Lovely Two, which initially gets no response when he tries his with Anzu's. At school Tsuruoka catches Yuugi, Jonouchi and Honda playing "test score bingo". After ridiculing their test scores, he confiscates the Lovely Two, prompting Dark Yuugi's arrival. Yuugi, Jonouchi and Honda end up in a game, where they must find the Lovely Two or face suspension (expulsion in the English version). Anzu becomes bashful, knowing she's speaking to the other Yuugi, and gives him her Lovely Two. After trying the love compatibility test, as Dark Yuugi the Lovely Twos start to beep, revealing its location.[33]
Yuugi takes up a game called Monster Fighter, which proves to be a big hit, with Yuugi asked numerous times at school if his family's store has any in stock. Among Yuugi's opponents is Koji "the Spider" Nagumo, who cheats by punching Yuugi and steals his Monster Fighter. Yuugi borrows Jonouchi's Monster Fight and changes to Dark Yuugi, who uses it to defeat Koji in a Shadow Game of Monster Fighter.[34][35]
Over the summer vacation, Anzu asks Yuugi out to Domino Park. Yuugi ends up chasing a kid, who sprays him with a water pistol. Seeing him act immaturely, Anzu unsuccessfully trys to fake that she's in danger to make the other Yuugi appear. After a bomb scare, Yuugi is forced to stay back to find Anzu, who's gotten on the ferris wheel. Upon learning the bombs are planted on the ferris wheel, Yuugi switches to Dark Yuugi, who engages in a game of clock solitare set by the bomber in order to save Anzu. After stopping the bomber, Anzu attempts to continue the date with Dark Yuugi.[36]
The evidence existing becomes drastically clearer and clearer that Yuugi and Dark Yuugi are different souls. In the most prominent of these, Yuugi is challenged to a Shadow Game by a boy named Imori using Chinese Dragon Cards that were sealed. Yuugi loses and, as the rules say it must, his soul is sucked into the soul-eating jar. However he seizes the puzzle just in time and Dark Yuugi challenges him to a re-match, defeating Imori and setting the captured Yuugi's soul free while at the same time imprisoning Imori's. Now it is made clear that Dark Yuugi and Yuugi just live in the same body.
Monster World
Yuugi makes friends with a new student, Ryo Bakura. Bakura tells Yuugi and his friends how he plays Monster World. He advises against them playing it with him, as people he's faced in the past ended up in comas.
After Bakura misses a day of school, Yuugi, Jonouchi, Anzu and Honda visit his apartment. Bakura tries warning them to leave, but his alter ego Dark Bakura possess him and invites them in.
Yuugi's minature.
Dark Bakura suggests they play Monster World. Yuugi and his friends fill out data for their characters and Bakura creates minature versions of them.
As they play the game, Bakura seals the souls of Yuugi's friends into the miniatures. Yuugi demands that Bakura seal his soul into a figurine as well. In his thoughts he states that even if he can't roll the dice, 'the other me' can. Dark Yuugi then meets Yuugi for the first time. At this point both characters have changed dramatically from the beginning of the manga - Yuugi is more confident and daring, while Dark Yuugi's treatment of his foes is softer and his attitude is no longer so arrogant. This is shown in their designs: Yuugi's face has matured and sharpened, and he no longer looks awkward when putting on a brave face; Dark Yuugi's has softened, his glare is more of weariness than of pride and his eyes are less wild. After this story, both Yuugis have a more comfortable relationship with each other and their friends.
Duelist Kingdom
Pegasus sends Yugi a video inviting him to participate in his Duelist Kingdom tournament. Pegasus appears on the video and invites Yugi to duel him on the spot. Initially astonished at how he can face a pre recording, Yugi complies. Seeing the nature of the Duel, to be that of a Shadow Game, Dark Yugi takes control.[37] Pegasus later imposes a time limit, which becomes responsible for Yugi's defeat. As a penalty for Yugi's defeat, Pegasus traps Sugoroku's soul in the video tape.[38]
Yugi inserts the tape into a camcorder, so he can watch his grandfather on its screen, to easily communicate with him wherever he goes.[39]
Having recently attained the ability to tell what his other self is feeling, Yugi divulges that Dark Yugi feels bad for losing to Pegasus to his friends at school. They fill Bakura in on what happened to Sugoroku and consider Yugi entering the tournament to return him to normal.[39]
Yugi arrives home, finding the invitation to and instructions for Duelist Kingdom attached to the door. Jonouchi, Anzu, Honda and Bakura catch up with him, revealing Jonouchi also received a tape in the mail. Since he doesn't have an 8 mm VCR of his own, he asks if they can watch it on Yugi's. The tape shows Jonouchi's sister Shizuka telling Jonouchi her inevitable blindness is approaching. Jonouchi tells them about being unable to afford the expensive surgery and mopes about being unable to help her. Yugi then changes to Dark Yugi and reminds Jonouchi of the prize money for the Duelist Kingdom and hands him one of his 2 Star Chips, granting Jonouchi entry to the tournament.[39]
The group on the ship leaving Domino.
Yugi and Jonouchi spend the next week training for the tournament.[39] Among this time, Yugi gives Jonouchi the card "Time Wizard".[40]
Along with Anzu, Bakura and Honda they arrive at Domino Pier and board the ship to the tournament. Here they meet Insector Haga, Dinosaur Ryuzaki and Mai Kujaku. Yugi spends some time conversing with Haga, who leaks word of newrules being in place. Haga requests to see the "Exodia" cards Yugi used to defeat Kaiba, only to throw them overboard. Jonouchi dives into the water but is only able to recover 2 of the cards. Yugi changes to Dark Yugi, who vows to take out Haga first in the tournament.[41]
After the tournament starts, Yugi and his companions head to the forest, having seen Haga go that way. No sooner than than when they come face to face, Haga challenges Yugi to a Duel, knowing his monsters will benefit from the Field Power Bonus. Dark Yugi accepts and is led to a Battle Box, where he wagers his 1 Star Chip and his life for Haga's 2 Star Chips.[42] Yugi emerges victorious, eliminating Haga from the tournament.[43]
Yugi spends much of his time as Dark Yugi, including watching Jonouchi face Mai,[44] winning his next 2 Star Chips from Ryota Kajiki[45] and facing a Star Chips thief, who turns out to be Mokuba Kaiba, on the run from Pegasus. Mokuba tries to swipe Yugi's Star Chips, but is discouraged by Dark Yugi. Saruwatari refuses to let Mokuba hand the Star Chips back to Yugi, but arranges an opponent for Yugi to face, the Ventriloquist of the Dead for Mokuba's freedom.[46] Yugi's opponent uses Seto Kaiba's Deck, but as Dark Yugi defeats him, Kaiba wakes from his coma and Yugi ups his Star Chip count to 6.[47] However Saruwatari has already disappeared wth Mokuba.[48]
Seeing as Jonouchi is disallowed from receiving help from Yugi in his Duel with Ryuzaki, Dark Yugi returns control to Yugi.[48]
Yugi speaks with his grandfather through the camcorder.
That night, Mai proposes a ceasfire, as she shares her food with Yugi and his friends. After the meal, Yugi speaks with his grandfather on the camcorder, briefing him in on his progress in the tournament.[49]
After Jonouchi, Honda and Bakura falls asleep, Mai arranges for Yugi and Anzu to meet up, telling Yugi that Anzu wanted to speak with him. Anzu starts to talk about old times, but Yugi believes she wants to speak with his other self and offers to change. Anzu refuses as she tries to convince herself that both Yugi's are the same person.[49]
The date is interrupted by the sound of Mai scream. Yugi and Anzu find out she has been beaten by the Player Killer of Darkness, who has taken all eight of her Star Chips. The Player Killer then challenges Yugi to a Duel.[49] Yugi changes to Dark Yugi and defeats him winning back Mai's Star Chips. He offers them to Mai, who reluctanlty takes them back, saying she owes him one.[50]
The next day, Mai has left by the time the rest of the group wake up, but left a note to Yugi saying she owes him 8 Star Chips, along with her tent and enough food for Yugi and his friends.[51]
After Jonouchi gets lost from the rest of the group, Dark Yugi takes control and senses him inside the underground. The group enter the cave and find Jonouchi as he defeats "Ghost" Kotsuzuka. However, before the group can leave, Bandit Keith has his gang trap them inside the underground by rolling a boulder in front of the entrance.
Using the light, Mai left them and Bakura's Millennium Ring which is pointing in the direction of Pegasus's castle, where the Millennium Eye is, they navigate to the Labyrinth. As Dark Yugi, Yugi teams-up with Jonouchi to defeat the Meikyû Brothers in a Tag Labyrinth Duel in order to escape to the surface and raise both their Star Chip counts to 10.
The group find themselves outside the castle after making their way out of the underground. At the entrance to the castle, Yugi is confronted by Kaiba, who challenges him to a Duel with 5 Star Chips on the line. Yugi's friends try to advise him against accepting, as he already has enough Star Chips, but he switches to Dark Yugi and accepts. As Yugi is about to win, Kaiba stands up on the edge of the castle, such that the shockwaves from Yugi's attack may cause him to fall to his death. Although Dark Yugi tries to attack, Yugi takes over and calls it off. Kaiba wins on the next turn, taking 5 of Yugi's Star Chips.
With Yugi unable to enter the finals with only 4 Star Chips, Jonouchi offers Yugi 5 of his, but Yugi won't have it. Mai then arrives on the scene. She manages to encourage Yugi to take her extra Star Chips, to repay her debt.
After entering the castle, they spot Bandit Keith, who points out that Kaiba and Pegasus are about to start dueling.[52] Yugi cheers for Kaiba, who loses and his soul sealed in a "Soul Prison" card.[53]
As Dark Yugi, he gives Jonouchi his "The Honor of the King's Right Hand", so that Jonouchi may participate in the finals. Over dinner he promises Honda to try save Mokuba and gets paired up with Mai for the semi-finals.[54]
During the night, Yugi hears noises coming from Jonouchi's room. He goes in the check it out and finds Keith. Keith tries to quiet Yugi by punching him, but Jonouchi wakes-up and holds Keith back. Keith leaves without them knowing that he took the "The Honor of the King's Right Hand" card. While Anzu tends to Yugi's wounds, he tells her how feels he embarrassed, having to always be helped; such as by her Jonouchi and the other Yugi, but plans to be stronger someday.[55]
Yugi faces Mai in the first Duel of the finals. Dark Yugi puts little effort into the Duel, as he worries about facing Pegasus. This results in a number of poor plays, but after encouraging words from Mai, he returns to the top of his game and defeats her.
Yugi cheers for Jonouchi in his Duel with Keith. After Jonouchi's win, Crocketts prepares to have Yugi duel Jonouchi, but Pegasus insists there is no need. Yugi immediately advances to facing Pegasus.
After a intense duel which Pegasus later changes to a Shadow Game and results in the original Yugi losing consciousness due to the overwhelming power of the Shadows, both he and Dark Yugi emerge victorious, defeating Pegasus and thus winning the Duelist Kingdom tournament.
As per the agreement, Pegasus releases the souls of Yugi's grandfather, Sugoroku and also those of the Kaiba brothers. Upon being released from their prisons, the souls instantly return to their physical bodies.
Pegasus then goes on to tell Yugi and his friends his life story. He met his girlfriend Cecelia at one of his father's social events and the two became lovers with both vowing that they would spend the rest of their lives together.
Unfortunately, just after Pegasus turned seventeen, Cecelia fell ill and died with her death hitting Pegasus hard.
Pegasus eventually ended up in Egypt and after a series of events, he took the test of Millennium Eye as given to him by Shadi. But in order for the test to work, Pegasus lost his left eye and then saw his beloved Cecelia emerging from a light to greet him although the reunion was only for a moment.
As a result, Pegasus became the new bearer of the Millennium Eye although Yugi was left disgusted and horrified at what lengths he had gone through in order to have the Eye accept him.
Eventually, Kaiba and Mokuba are reunited, sharing an emotional reunion while Yugi gives the prize money to Jonouchi which will pay for his sister's eye surgery.
Meanwhile, in the castle, Dark Bakura emerges and takes the Millennium Eye for himself, killing Pegasus as a result. He then leaves a fake Eye on the table and walks off, saying "Two down, five to go" before laughing manically.
The chapter ends with Yugi and the group being given a ride back to Domino City by Kaiba who's none too happy with what he's doing. As they fly over the ocean, they can see Mai begging them to take her with them while Yugi bids a silent farewell to Duelist Kingdom. Jonouchi agrees, throwing a rope-ladder which Mai grabs onto although he nearly falls out of the chopper but luckily Honda saves him.
Dungeon Dice Monsters
Mr. Clown framed Yugi for stealing merchandise from his shop. After taking him away for the alleged crime, Clown stole the Millennium Puzzle and locked Yugi in a secret game room, where he faced Ryuji in a game of Dungeon Dice Monsters for the ownership of the Puzzle.
As Yugi gets the upperhand on Ryuji, Clown entered the room and shattered the Puzzle. Yugi manages to defeat Ryugi with Dark Bakura's help and Ryugi admits that he cannot hate Yugi.
Clown pretended to apologize as he put the Puzzle's chain back on Yugi's neck. However he tightened the chain and dragged Yugi into another room, locking the door and pinning down the a piece of the Puzzle by its chain. He faces Yugi in the same Shadow Game he played against Sugoroku Mutou. However Ryugi accidentally sets the room on fire.
Jonouchi arrives to save Yugi, but Yugi refused to leave without finishing the Puzzle. After he finished the Puzzle, Jonouchi managed to remove the pin and help him escape.
