Ep. 1: Yugi Mutou faces bullying and releases Yami Yugi through the Millennium Puzzle
Yugi Mutou, a timid student at Domino City High School, endures harassment from classmates Katsuya Jonouchi and Hiroto Honda. Hall monitor Tetsu Ushio appoints himself Yugi’s bodyguard, assaulting Jonouchi and Honda while falsely claiming Yugi owes him money. After Ushio beats Yugi for non-payment, the trio intervenes but is defeated. Years later, Yugi completes the Millennium Puzzle after eight years of effort, inadvertently summoning his dark alter-ego, Yami Yugi. Yami Yugi challenges Ushio to a Shadow Game, punishing his cheating with an illusionary Penalty Game where monsters devour him. Following this event, Yugi, Jonouchi, and Honda forge a lasting friendship. They are soon joined by Yugi’s childhood friend Anzu Mazaki and Honda’s love interest Miho Nosaka, expanding their circle.
