List of Yu-Gi-Oh! characters
After solving an ancient artifact known as the Millennium Puzzle, his body becomes the host of a mysterious spirit known as Dark Yugi, who has the personality of a gambler.
As they attempt to help the Pharaoh regain his memories, they are put to the test, wagering their lives facing off against others who wield the mysterious Millennium Items and the dark power of the Shadow Games.
As well, the 4Kids English dub censors or edits instances of violence and sexual content, with characters being sent to the Shadow Realm rather than dying and some designs being changed.
He also develops as a character and is able to defeat antagonists without Dark Yugi's help, proving that he is worthy of being chosen by the Millennium Puzzle.

When Ms. Chono confiscates the puzzle and threatens to punish Miho if the secret admirer does not come clean, Yugi and Jonouchi stand up for him by claiming that they wrote it.
In the Duel Monsters anime, he has a crush on Jonouchi's sister Shizuka and a rivalry with Ryuji, often competing with him for Serenity's affections.
In the Duel Monsters anime, his role in the group is reduced compared to the manga, as he is mostly being controlled by Dark Bakura and does not accompany them as often.
He is introduced during the Duelist Kingdom arc as someone they knew from school and his love for tabletop role-playing games and making occult decks is downplayed.
Following his defeat, Kaiba, unable to forget the Penalty Game that he experienced, plans to use Death-T to enact revenge and kill him.
He duels Dark Yugi again and loses, receiving the "Mind Crush" Penalty Game to temporarily shatter his heart and purge it of evil, leaving him in a coma for almost a year.
In the Duel Monsters anime, Mokuba is devoted to Kaiba and less violent, as he is not committed to avenging Seto's defeat and befriends Yugi's group after they rescue him.
His Penalty Games trapping his friends' souls in figures caused him to constantly transfer schools until, with help from Yugi and the group in the Toei anime, they temporarily purge Dark Bakura's influence on Bakura by defeating the final boss of Monster World, Dark Master Zorc (闇の支配者ダーク・マスターゾーク, Dāku Masutā Zōku).

In the manga, his story about meeting Shadi and the supposed "evil intelligence" of the Millennium Items prompts Dark Yugi's search for his origins.
In flashbacks, Pegasus is revealed to have had a lover, Cecelia / Cyndia (シンディア, Shindia), who died after her seventeenth birthday or after their marriage in the anime, and sought to resurrect her.
He appears in The Dark Side of Dimensions, a film set in the manga continuity, where he opens a cafe with Ryuji after Black Clown burns down.
Voiced by: Tetsuya Iwanaga (teenager), Akiko Kimura (child) (Japanese); Jonathan Todd Ross (English) Marik Ishtar (マリク・イシュタール, Mariku Ishutāru) is the heir to a clan of tombkeepers and Ishizu Ishtar's younger brother, who disregarded his duties and turned to crime because of his hatred for the Pharaoh.
When he was a child, he developed a split personality as a result of trauma after undergoing the tombkeeper's initiation ritual, which involved carving into his body with a hot dagger, and his isolated upbringing.
However, his adoptive older brother Rishid sealed his dark side away, leaving him with no memory of his actions and believing the Pharaoh to be responsible for his father's death.

In the manga, Akhenaden's soul merged with Zorc after they were sealed in the Millennium Puzzle along with Atem before being released during the final arc.
He is the final boss of Memory World, where, with help from Yugi and his friends, Atem defeats him and prevents his resurrection, freeing Bakura from the Millennium Ring in the process.
The Laser Tag Assassins are three professional mercenaries who Kaiba hires to kill Yugi and his friends in the Shooting Stardust (シューティング・スターダスト, Shūtingu Sutādasuto) game.
In the age where Shadow Games were used to determine a person's fate, the Priests used the Millennium Items and sorcery to pull out and seal the souls (Ka) of criminals, which take the form of Monsters Spirits, into stone slabs to do battle.
