(anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime]]. They were created from an ancient spell found in the [[Millennium Spellbook]] in order to keep the ancient magic of the [[Shadow Game]]s locked up forever. [[The Millennium Stone]] in the village of [[Kul Elna]] is the origin and resting place of the seven items, and also where [[Akhenaden]] sacrificed ninety-nine humans in order to create them. They are based on the [[Millennium Items (manga)|Millennium Items]] from the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|manga]]. == Items =={| class="wikitable"|-! scope="col" | Image! scope="col" | Item! scope="col" | Carriers! scope="col" | Primary powers|-| [[File:MillenniumPuzzle.png|100px]]| [[Millennium Puzzle|Puzzle]]| * [[Aknamkanon]]* [[Atem]]* [[Seto]]* [[Solomon Muto]]* [[Yugi Muto]]/[[Yami Yugi]]| * Contains the souls of [[Pharaoh Atem]] and [[Zorc Necrophades]]* Summons and controls ''[[Duel Monsters]]'', including the [[Egyptian God]]s* Grants the one who solves it "power of darkness"|-| [[File:MillenniumEye.jpg|100px]]| [[Millennium Eye|Eye]]| * [[Aknadin]]* Aknadin's successor* [[Maximillion Pegasus]]* [[Bakura Ryou]]/[[Yami Bakura]]* [[Seto Kaiba]]* [[Yugi Muto]]/[[Yami Yugi]]| * Reads minds * Looks into a person's soul* Seals souls inside cards|-| [[File:MillenniumRing.jpg|100px]]| [[Millennium Ring|Ring]]| * [[Aknadin's co-conspirators|Mahad's predecessor]]* [[Mahad]]* [[Bandit King Bakura]]* [[Alexander the Great]]* [[Zorc Necrophades]]* [[Millennium Ring merchant|Merchant]]* [[Bakura's father]]* [[Bakura Ryou]]/[[Yami Bakura]]* [[Marik Ishtar]]/[[Yami Marik]]* [[Yugi Muto]]/[[Yami Yugi]]| * Points to other Millennium Items, like a compass* Seals souls or fragments of souls into objects* Contains the souls of [[Zorc Necrophades]] and [[Bandit King Bakura]]|-| [[File:180px-MilleniumScale.jpg|100px]]| [[Millennium Scale|Scale]]| * [[Aknadin's co-conspirators|Kalim's predecessor]]* [[Karim]]* [[Thief King Bakura]]* [[Atem]]* Kalim's successor* [[Shadi]]* [[Yugi Muto]]/[[Yami Yugi]]| * Finds out how much darkness is in a person's heart.* Fuses monsters (Ancient Egypt)|-| [[File:MillenniumKey.jpg|100px]]| [[Millennium Key|Key]]| * [[Shimon Muran]]* [[Shada]]* Shada's successor* [[Shadi]]* [[Yugi Muto]]/[[Yami Yugi]]| * Enters a person's mind|-| [[File:180px-MilleniumRod.jpg|100px]]| [[Millennium Rod|Rod]]| * [[Aknadin's co-conspirators|Seto's predecessor]]* [[Seto]]* Seto's successor* [[Mr. Ishtar]]* [[Marik Ishtar]]/[[Yami Marik]]* [[Yugi Muto]]/[[Yami Yugi]]| * Mind control* Seals [[Egyptian Spirit Monster]]s inside of stone tablets (ancient Egypt)|-| [[File:MillenniumNecklace.jpg|100px]]| [[Millennium Necklace|Necklace]]| * Isis' predecessor* [[Isis]]* [[Mr. Ishtar]]* [[Ishizu Ishtar]]* [[Yugi Muto]]/[[Yami Yugi]]| * Sees into the future|} ==Other==Other Magical tools related to the Millennium Items: * [[Millennium Spellbook|Spellbook]] - the book that Aknadin used to create them.* [[Pyramid of Light (item)|Pyramid of Light]] - an item containing [[Anubis]]'s soul, greatly resembling the Millennium Puzzle. ==Abilities==The Millennium Items grant their chosen owners access to ancient magic to use in [[Shadow Game]]s. The most standard are granting a wish when being acquired, communicating with spirits (Duel Monster or human), casting [[Penalty Game]]s on the loser of a Shadow Game that the owner played against. When a Shadow Game starts, using the magic of the items, players would send themselves into an alternate dimension where their Duel won't be interrupted, and where cheating is forbidden, punishable by death. Outside of a game, in addition to their unique abilities, the items' power of the Shadow Games also allow the owners to harness dark magic that they can defend themselves with. The items also give their owners protection from harm, and from other magic. ==History==3,000 years ago, the Pharaoh, [[Aknamkanon]], sought to protect his land through mystical means, and laid down the command for the seven magical Millennium Items to be forged, based on an ancient spell found in the [[Millennium Spellbook]]. Aknamkanon's brother, [[Aknadin]] was charged with creating the items, but Aknadin refrained from informing his brother that in order to do so, 99 human sacrifices were required. The village of [[Kul Elna]] became the victim of the Pharaoh's unwitting decree, as Aknadin had them slaughtered, their blood, bone and flesh melted in with the gold that was cast in the mystic rite that formed the items. With Aknamkanon possessing the Millennium Puzzle, the remaining six items were entrusted to his [[Sacred Guardians]]: the Millennium Key to [[Shimon Muran]], the Millennium Eye to Akhenaden himself, and the Millennium Necklace, Rod, Scale, and Ring to the other four priests (the predecessors of [[Isis]], [[Seto]], [[Karim]], and [[Mahad]]). Using the Items' combined power, an army of monsters was summoned which repelled the invading foes of Egypt. However, upon discovering the dark truth behind the Items' creation, Akhenamkhanen attempted to atone by offering his soul up to the Egyptian Gods as penance, sparing his son, [[Pharaoh Atem|Atem]] from any future retribution for his own indirect actions. When his father died, Atem was given the Millennium Puzzle, and in time, Shimon relinquished the Millennium Key to [[Shada]]. The Millennium Rod was given to Seto, who (unknown to everyone) was actually Aknadin's son. Seto became a strong friend of Atem, though both young men remained unaware that they were cousins. [[Bandit King Bakura]], the sole survivor of the slaughter in [[Kul Elna]], stole the holy [[DiaDhank]] from the tomb of Akhenamkhanen. By using it, Bakura could summon the ka, or soul, sealed in slates in the tomb of Akhenamkhanen and the demon Diabound, which created by the ''[[ka]]'' of the deceased people in Kul Elna (originally, a Millennium Item was needed to summon ''ka'', except your own). After failing to beat Atem, he defeated [[Mahad]] and acquired the Millennium Ring. Then, using the Millennium Ring, Thief King Bakura injected evil thoughts into [[Akhenaden]]'s Millennium Eye to corrupt his mind. Akhenaden wanted his son, Seto, to become the new Pharaoh, so he helped Bakura defeat the other priests and Atem, then he placed the Millennium Items upon the stone slab to summon the Dark God [[Zorc Necrophades|Zorc]]. While Zorc attempted to decimate the planet, Atem used his own name and the magics of the Shadow Games, within the Millennium Items, sealed Zorc and his own soul within the Millennium Puzzle, wiping his memory so that he could not recall it, so that the binding might never be undone. With Atem's death, the Millennium Puzzle was entombed along with him in his crypt in the Valley of the Kings. In a chamber beneath the village of Kul Elna, a sculpted stone rested - it read "Should the seven Millennium Items be placed upon it, along with the eighth key, the Pharaoh's name, Zorc would be free again". The magic of the Shadow Games was unleashed when the Millennium Puzzle was solved by [[Yugi Muto]] in the present day, and he embarked on a series of adventures that eventually resulted in the locations of the Millennium Items being revealed, and the three [[Egyptian God Card]]s coming into his possession. Placed on a stone tablet (the [[Tablet of Lost Memories]]) that professed to chronicle a battle between the Pharaoh and Seto, the cards and the Puzzle opened a gateway to Ancient Egypt, through which the soul of the Pharaoh was pulled. Back in his original body, but still lacking his memories, the Pharaoh was reunited with his priests, and Akhenaden's treachery was revealed as the Spirit of the Millennium Ring, which had also traveled back in time, stole the Items from their owners and used them to resurrect Zorc, only to have him be eradicated for eternity at the hands of the union of the three Egyptian Gods, [[The Creator God of Light, Horakhty (character)|The Creator of Light]]. Back in the present, following Atem's defeat at the hands of his vessel, Yugi Muto, in the conclusion of the [[Battle Ritual]], the Millennium Items, placed onto the tablet just before the Duel began, opened a gateway to the afterlife, allowing Atem to be finally at rest. Afterwards, the temple crumbled, sealing all 7 Millennium Items deep underground. ==In other media==<gallery widths="240" heights="160">Millennium Items - manga.png | [[Millennium Items (manga)|Millennium Items (manga and ''Dark Side of Dimensions'')]]Millennium Puzzle - Toei.png | [[Millennium Items (Toei)]]DarkNitesTomb-FMR.png | [[Millennium Items (Forbidden Memories)|Millennium Items (''Forbidden Memories'')]]Millennium Items - ROD.png | [[Millennium Items (The Sacred Cards and Reshef of Destruction)|Millennium Items (''The Sacred Cards'' and ''Reshef of Destruction'')]]</gallery> In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!
