Yugi Muto is a shy, game-loving sixteen year-old, who’s often bullied. One day, after receiving the ancient Egyptian Millennium Puzzle from his grandfather, he’s challenged to solve its impossible golden fragments, until he accidentally inherits a more confident alter-ego, after releasing "Pharaoh", a merciless but amnesiac spirit of an ancient five-thousand year-old king, who sealed himself inside. From that moment onward, whenever Yugi or any of his friends are threatened, this "Other Yugi" appears, enacting ironic justice by “punishing" their offenders.
Coincidentally, a few months later, he finds himself linked with the djinn-spirit of "Shadow", a powerful genie, who’s pledged to safeguard him from any opposing parties, after mysteriously receiving a rare Duel Monsters game-card called "DARK DJINN". After defeating his rival Seto Kaiba in the game, Yugi is then invited by the game's creator Maximillion Pegasus to participate in his tournament, only to find himself and his friends Joey Wheeler, Tristan Taylor, Bakura Ryou, and Téa Gardner in trials not only wagering the fate of the world, but also their very lives, as certain individuals, both human and entity, begin to seek in taking possession of his Puzzle.
During their quest of evading and uncovering the secret origins behind these malicious forces, Yugi forms an alliance with other talented individuals, who share his gift of communicating with the spirits: Jaden Yuki, an energetic fifteen-year-old prodigy known for his youthful optimism, as well as the calm, cool-headed Yusei Fudo, an eighteen-year-old, motorcycling time-jumper from the distant future.
