yami yuugi

Age: 3000+ Blood type: A Height: 153 cm Weight: 42 kg Yami Yuugi, also known as the spirit of the ancient Pharaoh residing in the Millennium Puzzle, has a mysterious past. After Yuugi Mutou spends eight years solving the puzzle, he awakens the Pharaoh from his long slumber. However, Yuugi only realizes this much later in the story. At the end of Duelist Kingdom, the Pharaoh asks Yuugi to help him recover his lost memories, and Yuugi agrees to assist him. In the early manga, Dark Yugi initially appears as a merciless vigilante who emerges to punish those who harm Yugi and his friends' souls. Although his actions are just, his punishments through Penalty Games are often brutal. Over time, while living inside Yugi's body, he becomes more caring and friendly, revealing his true nature with the help of Yugi's friends. Yami is a powerful and skilled Pharaoh who balances darkness and evil using Shadow Magic from his Millennium Item. Unlike Yami Bakura and Yami Marik, he never uses his powers for personal gain but helps others and punishes only those who have severely wronged innocents. Initially reserved, he doesn't reveal his existence to Yugi or his friends until much later. Yugi initially feared Yami, but after admitting that another Yugi exists within him, his friends accept Yami as a friend. Yami is extremely protective of Yugi. Yami's pride is both his greatest strength and weakness. Initially, he refuses to lose games because it would jeopardize his chance to save Grandpa. This led him to nearly kill Seto Kaiba during a duel by attacking his monster while Kaiba stood on a ledge. Learning how to lose becomes an essential part of Yami's journey, which he faces during the Battle Ritual. Yami is wise and intelligent, knowing all game rules and techniques. He quickly adapts to modern technology, understanding holographic technology, Dueling Arenas, and field Power Bonuses. Yami can also translate Egyptian hieroglyphics and solve riddles. Through Yugi and his friends, Yami learns the values of friendship and unity. After seeing Yugi overcome Marik, Yami realizes that kindness holds the greatest strength. Eventually, Yugi grows enough to be self-reliant, allowing Yami's soul to find peace. **Battle City** In Battle City, Yami discovers he was a Pharaoh ruling Ancient Egypt, according to Ishizu. To uncover his full past, he must obtain the three Egyptian God cards—Osiris (Slifer the Sky Dragon), Obelisk the Tormentor, and The Winged Dragon of Ra—during the tournament. Along the way, he encounters Noah, who holds a grudge against the Kaiba brothers, and various pawns of Marik. After Jonouchi collapses following his duel with Marik, Yami finds a stronger incentive to duel Marik but must first defeat Seto Kaiba. As expected, he defeats Kaiba and then duels and defeats Marik. **Doma Arc** In the Doma arc, Yami faces emotional challenges. When he fails to enter the Memory World due to the God cards not responding, he discovers that Duel Monsters have become real-life monsters. During his duel with Grimo, he learns about the Seal of Orichalcos and its ability to take the soul of the loser. Unfortunately, his god cards are stolen by Raphael, Amelda, and Varon, who work under Dartz. In his duel with Raphael, Yami finds himself under the influence of the Seal of Orichalcos, leading to his defeat. Before his soul could be taken, Yugi pushes him out of the way, sacrificing his own soul instead. This leaves Yami depressed, but Jonouchi snaps him out of it with a punch. **Memory World** After sealing his soul along with Zorc Necrophadius to save Egypt, Yami loses his memory. In the Memory World, most of Yami's priests respect and love him. Simon protects him, Mahad and Mana follow him, and Seto sees him as both a best friend and rival. Yami sacrifices his psychic powers to protect Egypt. His uncle attempts to make Seto take his throne, but in the end, Yami summons Horakhty with his own name, eliminating Zorc and completing his mission. Seto carves a memory tablet in memory of him. Yami's real name is revealed to be Atem at the conclusion of the arc. (Source: Yugipedia)
