''Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light'' creates some mild continuity problems within the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' [[manga]]/[[anime]] seriesby inserting the character of Anubis into the show's history. HoweverThe character is mentioned nowhere else in canon; despite his supposed prominence in the [[Pharoah Atem|Pharoah]]'s past, he does not appear during the "[[Dawn of the Duel]]" arc, though their encounter could easily take place prior to the events shown in that storyline. The scene at the start of the movie showing Yugi's completion of the Millennium Puzzle differs from that seen in the original manga, but the ''Duel Monsters'' anime never showed the puzzle's completion, if it were meaning that the movie does not contradict anything within the show itself with this scene; the original [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (Toei anime)|Toei anime]] also showed the puzzle's completion happening under different circumstances. If taken as canonical it would , the movie can be considered to take place after the events of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 144|Episode 144]] of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', due to the fact that [[Yugi]] has all 3 three [[Egyptian God]] cards after winning the duel against [[Yami Marik]] in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 142|Episode 142]]. It also most likely takes place before [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 145|Episode 145]] of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', due to the fact that the [[Egyptian God]] cards are stolen and used against [[Yugi]] in said episode. The dubbed series had Tristan make reference to the movie's events in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 148|episode 148]]. 
In the movie, it is explained that [[Anubis]] (アヌビス Anubisu) was killed by [[Pharaoh Atem]] 3000 years ago (5000 in the English anime) and then resurrected when [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] completed his [[Millennium Puzzle]]. In the Japanese version of the movie, the duel between Seto Kaiba and Yami Yugi is a ploy masterminded by Anubis, with the objective to have the King of Light (Seto Kaiba) defeat the King of Darkness (Dark Yugi). Anubis seeks revenge against the Pharaoh and wants to be resurrected as the "King of Destruction", using Kaiba to become the new king and rule the world.
In the manga and first series anime, however, Yugi's completion of the [[Millenium Puzzle]] follows a different storyline: Yugi was beaten up by [[Trudge|Ushio]], who had also beaten up [[Joey Wheeler|Jonouchi]] and [[Tristan Taylor|Honda]], and he completed the puzzle while beaten up to become Dark Yugi. In addition, during the [[Dawn of the Duel]] arc, Anubis never made an appearance and was never shown to be killed by [[Pharaoh Atem]] (the battle must either have been off-screen, before the events involving [[Thief King Bakura]], or never taken place at all).
Despite being designed by [[Kazuki Takahashi]] himself, and because Anubis never made any appearances in the anime or manga (outside of this movie), he is considered a non-canon character by most fans.
