Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters is a television series centered on a character named Yugi Muto. Yugi is frequently targeted by bullies due to his frail and weak nature. He possesses an ancient Egyptian artifact known as the Millennium Puzzle, which was brought into his grandfather's game shop. Yugi believes that successfully solving the puzzle will grant his wish. Upon completing the puzzle, he unleashes a new personality within himself, identified as the soul of the King of Games. This new personality is named Yami Yugi and serves as the exact opposite of Yugi. Whenever an injustice is committed against Yugi, Yami Yugi takes control of his body. Once in control, Yami Yugi forces the opponent into a Shadow Game. The provided sources do not contain additional information regarding the production, release, or cast of this series.
