Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters is a twelve-episode mini-series commissioned, produced, and edited by 4Kids Entertainment (much like Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie - Pyramid of Light) that is a part of the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise.

Set before the end of the second Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series (Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters) - between the Grand Championship and Dawn of the Duel, Capsule Monsters involves Yugi, Joey (Jonouchi), Téa (Anzu), Tristan (Honda), and Yugi's grandfather Solomon (Sugoroku) being pulled into a world where Duel Monsters are real. They find monster capsules that they can use to summon monsters. It is similar to the Virtual RPG arc in many respects, but it doesn't have anything to do with the early Capsule Monster Chess game featured in early volumes of the original manga.

Discovery and presentation

The first mention of Capsule Monsters came on the retailer website, Talkin' Sports in December 2005, but this information was not widespread, and the existence of the project remained unknown to almost the entire fanbase until 30 January - 2 February 2006, when the Irish children's television strand The Den aired the first four episodes on RTÉ Two. Historically, it was not unusual for RTÉ Two to premiere episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! some time before other markets; for example, the concluding episodes of seasons 3, 4 and 5 all premiered on it. Like all the series' spin-offs, it was simply referred to as Yu-Gi-Oh!, lacking its subtitle, on the television programme listings of the 28 January - 3 February 2006 edition of the RTÉ Guide, meaning that it was unknown to viewers that it was airing.

However, the Den never actually promoted new episodes when they aired, and this held true for Capsule Monsters when it debuted after a re-run of the Grand Championship arc. The third episode was accidentally stumbled across by a LiveJournal user who posted the news and screencaps to a LiveJournal community, Play the Damn Card. There was initial confusion amongst fans - particularly over the discovery of the series in such an unlikely place. 4Kids eventually clarified the nature of the show.

After the first four episodes of Capsule Monsters were aired, RTÉ Two went back to broadcasting Season 1 of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. When the channel finished doing this on 20 July 2006, it aired Millennium World and The Ceremonial Battle. When that was done, the complete series of Capsule Monsters was aired in Ireland between 25 August - 19 September 2006. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's is now airing instead of Capsule Monsters

Capsule Monsters aired on the British digital television channel, Sky One. 4KidsTV acquired the license to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters Series for the 2006 US Fall Saturday morning lineup. The first episode aired Saturday, September 9.[1]

Capsule Monsters also aired in Germany on the channel RTL II.

Story

Yugi Muto (romanized as Yugi Mutou in the English-language manga) wakes up after having a strange recurring nightmares about the Pharaoh being captured by an evil monster with glowing red eyes and telling him that why he is having these dreams will become clear when he "plays the game". This time, the Millennium Puzzle starts glowing in response to the dream, bewildering Yugi even further.

Before leaving for school that day, Yugi noticed that his grandfather,Solomon Muto (Sugoroku Mutou in the Japanese versions and English-language manga), had not returned from his "secret expedition" (yugi was told at the last minute) as his flight was due last night. Yugi is worried about the fact that Solomon is missing.

Meanwhile, there is a new game on the block; the Capsule Monsters board game is the new fad in the Duel Monsters craze, and Yugi has already taken the opportunity to learn the rules of the game. When Joey breaks the news about the trip, Yugi and his friends could not contain their excitement. Yugi, Tristan Taylor (Hiroto Honda), and Téa Gardner (Anzu Mazaki) agree to take Joey's other three tickets.

Just when the private plane for the trip approached its final destination, the engines cut out and the aircraft crash lands in a mysterious forest. After Yugi and his friends evacuate from the aircraft, they find a man who says his name is Dr. Alex Brisbane.

When Yugi lets slip to Brisbane that he is Solomon Muto's (Sugoroku Mutou) grandson, Brisbane tells him that he's a colleague of Grandpa, and on their latest expedition together he disappeared. Now Yugi knows just where Grandpa had gone, but the Pharaoh still suspects something. They just happen to win a trip; their plane just happens to crash; and they just happen to meet the man who was the last person to see Grandpa. It all seems a little bit coincidental. Brisbane shows Yugi and the gang where he last saw Solomon. Yugi and his friends are surprised when they discover that Brisbane last saw Solomon in a pyramid.

Brisbane explains that he believes it to be the legendary pyramid of Alexander the Great, and that it's supposed to contain some sort of ancient game. They check it out, narrowly avoiding a number of dangerous traps, and come across a room that, as Tristan put it, is the size of Cleveland. The floor looks like a giant map of different land types, which looks incredibly familiar to Yugi. Joey decides to check it out but, to everyone's surprise, disappears into thin air the second he steps on the map. Coming to the conclusion that Solomon must have gone to the same place as Joey, the rest of the gang decide to follow, leaving a bewildered Brisbane behind.

They find themselves in a forest, with Joey nowhere to be seen. Yugi notices a lot of egg-shaped rocks around, but before they can investigate, some giant cockroaches (Gokibore, a monster from the Volume 6 expansion set) and a giant praying mantis (Kamakiriman, from Volume 3) ambush them. The escapes of Yugi, Tristan, and Téa causes them to have to split up.

Yugi is cornered by the mantis, so the Pharaoh takes over to protect him. He accidentally touches one of the strange egg-shaped rocks whilst jumping, which somehow causes Celtic Guardian to appear. Celtic Guardian attacks the mantis, destroying it.

Meanwhile, Tristan and Téa escape the cockroaches by ducking into a cave. They find themselves on a beach, accompanied by two monsters: Thunder Kid and Happy Lover.

At the same time, Joey is up high on a mountain, looking over onto the forest that the gang are in, hearing Yugi's shouting. Suddenly, a giant bird (LOB-039 Kurama) comes up behind him and grabs him by the shoulders, flying away with Joey in his claws.

Back in the forest, Celtic Guardian disappears in a beam of light, transforming into a small capsule. Now, Yugi knows where he'd seen this before. Somehow they have entered a real life version of Capsule Monsters. However, he is soon again attacked by a monster, this time it's a [Trent]]. Pharaoh realizes the strange device on their wrists are for launching the capsules that house there monsters in order to summon them. Calling upon Celtic Gaurdian, the Pharaoh attacks the tree, but it gets the upper hand and injures Celtic Gaurdian. The Pharaoh feels Celtic Gaurdian's pain and realizes that the Capsule Monster world is a deadly Shaodw Game. To make matters worse, the Trent turns surrounding trees into copies of it to assit its attack. However, the Pharaoh releases a new capsule monster to assit them, the fire-attribute Hinotama Soul. It easily burns the Trents to ash. The Pharaoh switches with Yugi and Yugi runs off to find his freinds.

Elsewhere, Joey has been dropped by the Kurama into a nest of its young. Joey repeatedly jumps off cliffs housing Kurama nests to escape until he lands on a branch and accidently releases Baby Dragon from another rock. Joey boards Baby Dragon and flees the mountains. However, a flock of Kurama chase after them. Realising there are too many to take on head first, Joey decides to trick them into getting stuck in a small opening in a canyon.

On the beach, Tristan figures out that Happy Lover and Thunder Kid are monsters they accidently released from the egg-shaped rocks back in the forest when they ran from the giant roaches. Suddenly a giant sea monster called Root Water emerges from the ocean. Happy Lover and Thunder Kid stand between it to keep Tristion and Tea safe.

Elsewhere, Joey has taken refuge behind a waterfall and checks his guide book, still beleiving himself to be in India. Joey then notices a treasure chest behind him and Baby Dragon and opens it. Hwoever, instead of treasure a scroll wraps aorund him and Baby Dragon burns it off him (with Joey having to put out the fire one him in the waterfall). The ashes of the scroll turn into a map and Joey wonders if its a treasure map.

Back on the beach, Tristan is having Thunder Kid attack Root Water with limited success as Thunder Kind is taking a pounding from the giant monster. (They, too realize they feel the pain inflicted on their monsters.) Tea remembers Yugi's advice on how to play the board game version of Capsule Monsters and has Happy Lover heal Thunder Kid with its Heart Beam. Tristan then decides to blind-side Root Water with a sneak attack and Tunder Kid is successful in frying the fish. However, instead of vansihing, Root Water's charred body shatters and the beast evolves into High Tide Gyojin. It then creates a typhoon, sucking up Tea and Tristan along with their monsters. However, Solomon arrives and uses his Summoned Skull to blast H.T.G. apart, saving Tea and Tristan.

Having seen Summoned Skull's "Lightning Strike" attack, Yugi heads to the beahc to find Tea and Tristan unconcious with their monsters. However, his mind is put to ease when Solomon walk up to him and tells him that they're resting after the ordeal they went through. Yugi happily clings onto his grandpa and cries in joy of seeing him again.

Later, Yugi and the others make camp and begin to wonder where Joey is in the Capsule Monsters's world. At the same time, Joey has gotten hungry and follows the smell of the camp fire to his freinds (after nearly fallen to his detah before Baby Dragon managed to catch him). The Pharaoh switches with Yugi and explains that their delema of being in this world won't be an easy problem to solve. However, Tea points out that the flowers around them have gottne closer since they set up camp. Solomon tosses a stick form the fire into the flowers to reveal that they are actually a pack of Flower Wolf. Everyone but Solomon (whose Summoned Skull is too high level to be used frequently) releases their Cpasule Mosnters to fend off the pack. However, the Pharaoh knows they don;t stand a chance and has Thunder Kid blind the wolves temporarily by reflecting its lightning off Celtic Gaurdian's sword.

The next day, Tristan and Joey do an annoying "victory dance" while the Pharaoh and Yugi wonder abotu the safety of their freinds. Joey and Tristan then collapse and beg for food. Tristan then remembers about snacks he packed for the trip, but then remembers everyone (except Solomon) left their packs back at the campsite. After Solomon tries to encourage them to go a few days without food, they take off to find some, but run into tree branches. Tea reveals Solomon had a bag of food and taughts them as she eats a chip. Solomon tells them all they ahd to do was ask nicely. While Joey and Tristan complain, Yugi notices that the mountains are moving and runs to the edge of the forest to see their on an Island Turtle. Joey and Tristan try to be tough until Yugi tells them it won't attack them unlees they keep it up. Joey and Tristan appologize, but immediatnely do another victory dance. Tea complains about the lack of female freinds she has and the Turtle roars in annoyance to Joey and Tristan's song. It drives, forcing everyoen to "abandon ship!"

They then reach a temple in the middle of the lake and enter to have the doors shut behidn them. Joey notices a "giant tea pot" in the middle of the room and (having switched with Yugi) the Pharaoh tells him it is not a tea pot. La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp emerges from the lamp. The Pharaoh summons Celtic Gaurdian and begisn fighting the genie. Suddenly, the doros swing back open and a flood of water rushes in. It then freezes, trapping Tea and Solomon in ice. The purpetrator behind this is Neo Aqua Madoor, "Jack Forst's evil cousin". Tristan and Joey summon their monsters to help out the Pharaoh despite his comstant yells for them to not interfear out of concern for their safety. Joey then tells him that they don;t want ot see him get hurt either as the Pharaoh realizes they can use the two enemies' attacks agaisnt eachother. Afetr faking head on attacks, Celtic Gaurdian and the tohers capsule monsters back off as Neo Aqua Madoor and La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp's atacks collide into eachother and destorys them.

Tea and Solomon are released form the ice and a tablet with Egyptian writing on it appears. Solomon translate it: " Before the shadows blanket the land, Go to the fortress of fear. Locate the place where the psirit sleeps, And the pathway you seek will appear." Joey take sout his map from ealier and realizes that it shows the exact space they're on right now and that the fortress is on the same sqaure, but VERY far away. Everyone resolves ot go there, hoping the pathway it mentioned means the way home. Tristan finds a secret passage under the main floor (as they did not want to take chances with swimming across) and they quickly run through it.

Coming out above ground, they find themselves in an ancient graveyard that is soon flocked with Wood Remains and The Wandering Doomed. Yugi, Tea and Heoy each release a new monster; Kuriboh, Dark Witch and the Flame Swordsman respectively. With their new monster,s the Zombies are easily defeated.

Racing to the top of the hill the fortress lays upon, Tristan jinxes their good luck as four walls rise out fo the ground and surround the fortresss with stautes of the Aqua Spirit, Spirit of Flames, The Rock Spirit and Garuda the Wind Spirit at either end. Joey unsuccessfully tries to fly over but is repeled by a forcefeild. Yugi figures out that if four people mimic the stances of the four stautes, the door will open. They do so, forcing Yugi to enter the fortress hismelf. Yugi falls into a pit, but is saved from a roguh landing by the Pharaoh taking his place. The walls of the room they are trapped in begin to close in on them while outside, Joey breaks his pose and the statues come to life and begin attacking everyone. The Pharaoh finds a new capsule and releases the monster, which carries him up in a beam of light. Coming to his sense, the Pharaoh sees his new monster is Dark Magicain and that his freinds are in trouble. Using Dark Magician's "Magical Crossroad" the statues are destroyed at the cots of Solomon's Summoned Skull being taken down by the Rock Spirit.

Inside the fortress, Yugi opens the coffin located in the fortress (the place where the spirit sleeps) just as the sun sets and eveyrone else comes in. The coffin turns itno a doorway and a peice of golden armor hovers above it. Another riddle appears as the armor dons itself on Yugi. Solomon says it says 5 trials await them to test the strength of Yugi's heart. Dispite some discussion abotu not going through with the trials, everyone decides to go along wht it in hopes of it leading them hope again.

They arrive in a desert and find a village, where they are given a pendant and the instructions for the first trial; "Silence the voice that wrides the wind". While Solomon stays are safe distance form everyone else, they call forth their monters and destroy a Medusa Worm, which they initally believed to be the enemy. However, it turns out to be one of many Medusa Worms under the voice's control. Everyone, but the Pharaod is spat on by a woram and are turnign to stone. Dark Magicain takes the Pahroah above the storm the voice ahd sent to confuse them to show him a tornado causing it. The Pharaoh calls Dark Magicain back ot his capsule and proceeds on foot to reach the voice. However, he isn't strong enough to reach the tornado. He then sees a man wearing a cape and mask, telling him to merge with the Dark Magician to gain the strenght needed to pass the trial. Doing so, the Pharaoh becomes the Dark Warrior and fleis into the tornado to find the voice is Mystical Sand. Silencing her, the Pharaoh clears the trial and reverses the Medusa Worms's petrification on his freinds. The armor takes a toll on the Pharaoh as he is ot used to it yet. Yugi takes his place to releave some of the pain and explains about the man he saw explaining how to use the armor. One of the five shapes on the pendant light up to signify the victory over this trial and a doorway comes out of the sand.

Entering it, everyone finds themselves on a floating island above the clouds. Yugi collapses from the strain of the Duel Armor and is taken to a cave to rest. Anothe rmessage arrives and Solomon reveals that next is "The Trial of Light and Shadow". They are tasked with breaking and unbreakable stone in the "valley of light" as it appears only once a day. Deciding to take care of the trial in Yugi's place, Tristan, Joey and Solomon head for the nearest valley as it becomes noon and the stone is revealed. However a Prisman appears and begins to attack them. Trsitan takes advantage of its shirt temper and uses it to blast the stone apart.


In the meantime, Yugi has recovered and Tea shows the Pharoah the trial's instructions. Realising they only know half of the trial, the Pharaoh relaizes that by exposing the parchment ot darkness, the second half is revealed. He realizes they are now in danger and take soff with Tea to find them.

Elsewhere, everyone has picked up a large peice of the stone and smash Prisman to peices. Hwoever, a Skull Guardian appears as sign of the second phase of the trial beginning. Joey hoped he was there to congradulate them, but it began attacking instead. The Pharaoh once agian merges with Dark Magician to become the Dark Warrior and easily defeats the monster. However, he spares it as a glow where the stone was appears. The Pharaoh then explaisn that the second part of the trial was to not only defeat the Skull Guardian, but to show mercy. This rewards them with the means to leave the island. At the same time the masked man from before appears to all of them and congradulates the Pharaoh on completed Level 2 of the trials. The Pharaoh wonders what will happen if he completes the trials and the stranger explains that he will receive the power to rule the world as he will have proven himself a true king. However, even though the Pharaoh might not want it, there are others seeking it and it must be claimed before someone evil does. Also, if they fail, they wil be trapped here until the next challenger arrives.

Using the wings found in the trial's reward chest, everyone flies off into anopther glowing doorway.

Back outside the game, Dr Brisbane is laughing evily that soon the power to rule the world will belong to him.

In the game, eveyrone has reached a volcanic area, where they must remove the sword of choas before it's too late. Tristan gains a new monster, Thunder Dragon. Joey ends up separated from them, but returns, fused with Red-Eyes B. Dragon and full of evil. As Joey fights the Pharaoh in Dark Warrior mode, Joey begins to wonder why he is attcking his freind and realizes this happend because of his fusing with Red Eyes. Breacking free of the evil controlling him, Joey separates form Red Eyes sees the sword of chaos is stuck in its thigh. Removing it, Joey clears the third trial and claims Red Eyes as his monster. Eveyrone leaves through another glowing doorway.

They then end up in a jungle (wher ethey elarn tjhat despite its parent endless scenery, it is only as big as the game board itself). Their next test is to find a golden apple that "gives you a raise" and offer it up. Tirsten finds a giant melon and draws a pictur eof himself on it. The fruti then falls down a hole and everyone follows it to find themselves in a chamber with three long pedastals with an apple eahc on them. Tristen then ntocies his melon in the corner, which turns out to actually be a Petit Moth. Everyone attempts to leave, but are then caught in a labarenith. Joey eats some of the fruit he toke from the forest and instantly becomes a genius. Right as he is about to figure out how to get out of the labarenith, a Battle Ox chases him away form his equasions. At the smae time, Tea gets a Seiyaryu after defeating a Jirai Gumo. Hopelessly lost in the menaitme, Tristan releases a Shovel Crusher and it cureens around the laberenith liek a lunatic, collecitng his allies and depositing them back at the apple room. However, there is a slight difference. An apple is missing and a Cacoon of Evolution is where Petit Moth was. It hatches into Great Moth and Yugi becomes the Dark Warrior to fight it. However, a Dark Magic Attack simply further evolves it into Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth. The Pharoah then realizes that he must eat one of the apple to evovle Dark Magician in order to stand a chance against the moth. Doing so evovles his magician into Magician of Black Choas and earns them victory. He then takes the remianing apple to an alter, which opens a doorway.


They then find themselves back at the camp where they were attacked by the Flower Wolves. The masked man appears and properly introduces himself as Alexander the Great. He then goes on to explain he once possessed the Millenium Ring , which he considered his lucky cahrm as it helped him conquer most of the world. However, prolonged possession of it caused a split personality to emerge (due to Zorc being sealed in the ring) and msot of his retainers lost faith in him. He was then put to a test to see if he was still worhty to wear the ring by Shadi and was the first to participate in the Capsule Mosnters game. However, though he was victorious in the trials, the door leading to the great power to rule the world did not open. This enraged hsi darker half into attacking his four vassels. It was then the pyramid punished him by splitting his soul in two. His darker half was sealed into the pyramid and he was sent to the game to act as a guide for future adventures. Alxeander then gifts the monster-less Solomon with a new monster and tell him he will need it for the fifth trial.

They head to a village, where Alxeander explains that the fifth trial involves destroying five different elemet dragons known as the Feindish Five that terroize the village. They find a girl about to sacrifice herself to give thier dragon god the strength to keep the five away. However, they interveen and promsie to slay the dragons. Solomon using his newCurse of Dragon against Aqua Dragon, the Pharaoh faces Tyrant Dragon, Tea versus Serpent Night Dragon, Tristan battles Lsuter Dragon #2 and Joey fights Meteor Dragon. However, dispite the aid of Ygui's new Black Luster Soilder, eveyrone fails to defeat the dragons and are forced to return to the village. The Pharaoh then learns of a sword that can slay the five only if a larrge power decens upon the village. Tricking the five into coming towards the village, the Pahraoh frees the sword and slays the them. However, the defeated dragons transform into FGD. THe girl from earlier prays for her god's help and her tears free the Blue Eyes White Dragon form its picture and it fuses with the Pharaoh and slays the Fiendish Five once and for all.

With the trials now completed, everyone is about to be sent home and Alxeander is given permission to use Sollomon's body as a means of takign himself out of the game.

They arrive outside to find Dr Brisbane acting normal and conerned for their safety. He then wonders if they found anything enteresting in the game and Solomon presents the trial pendant, now fully lit. Right as the evil side of Alexander tries to grab the pendant, the good side jumps into Dr Brisbane and semmingly subdues his evil side. However, it's a trick as the evil side was stronger and fused together with his weaker good half. Evil Alexander takes the pendant and runs up to the doors and succesfully opens them after waiting for thousands of years. Everyone chases him into the romo and they find themselves in an alternate dimension.

Shadi appears and wonders who should receive the power promised to the victor of his challenge. Though the Pharaoh protests that Evil Alexander cheated, Shadi points out that Alxeander has a fair calim to the power as he tried himself and won thousands of years ago. To end the stailmate, Shadi announces one final Capsule Monsters battle. Evil Alxenader summons the souls of his vassels to assit him and Good Alexander's Duel Armor. Evil Alexander fuses with Reshef the Dark Being and sacrifices his retainers monsters to summon his Seven-Armed Fiend, the apperitian from Yugi's dreams. Everyone but Yugi's monsters are destroyed except for their dragons and Seven-Armed Fiend is destroyed. Hwoever, Evil Alxeander decides to use the remaining monsters he used for his sacrifice to power Reshef and use his pawns pain connection to them as a sheild. However, the Pharaoh, disgusted with Evil Alxenadaer for how he treats his loyal subjects, fuses with his freidns dragons to form the Armor of Unity and destroys Reshef. The evil side of Alexander is purged and the good Alxeander tells the Pharaoh that his reign over Eygpt is what inspired him to be pharaoh himself. Alexander then passes on with his vassels. Shadi wishes to gift the Pharaoh with the power promised, but he instantly turns it down. Shadi then tells him that the one who can rule the world need not possess the power. The pyramid then begins to collpase and everyone manages to escape safely.

They return to their pilots to discover the recue plane as come and talk the pilots into taking Solomon and Dr Brisbane back to Domino with them.
