However, such as when saving [[Tristan Taylor|Tristan]] and [[Duke Devlin|Duke]]'s lives from falling off [[Seto Kaiba]]'s [[Kaiba Craft 3|Blimp]], Shadi did have the power to become substantial for a short time.

Shadi goes to [[Domino Museum]] to pass judgment on the curator, [[Professor Kanekura]] and the archaeologist, [[Professor Yoshimori]], both of whom had entered and taken items from an Egyptian tomb.

He first plays a [[Shadow Game]] with Kanekura, using the [[Millennium Scales]]. He weighes Kanekura's sins against the [[Feather of Ma'at]]. Kanekura lies outbalanced the feather, so Shadi transforms Professor Kanekura's chair into [[Ammit]]. While this was only an illusion, the real Ammit was let into his soul room. After Kanekura told one final lie, Ammit passes judgment on his soul, killing him. In the anime, Kanekura sufferd a heart attack, rather than death.

Shadi spots [[Yugi Muto]] and learns that he is the holder of the [[Millennium Puzzle]]. He then uses the [[Millennium Key]] to enter Yugi's [[soul room]]. Shadi instead finds two rooms, a darker one belonging to [[Yami Yugi|Dark Yugi]]. Dark Yugi appears inside his room and invites Shadi in, if he dares. Shadi introduces himself as an unwanted guest. He came to learn the power of the Millennium Puzzle. If the power is needed he will draw it into his bloodline. Not willing to simply show Shadi the power, Dark Yugi imposes a Shadow Game; somewhere inside the soul, is Dark Yugi's true room, if Shadi can find it, then he'll find what he's looking for. Shadi accepts the game, but mentions that once he enters someone's room , he can redecorate it to control the individual or change their personality.

Dark Yugi starts the game and the place turns into a maze of doors and staircases. Shadi begins searching, but the doors are filled with traps. Eventually Shadi is left dangling above a bottomless pit. Dark Yugi saves him and advises that he leave. Shadi parts, thinking he has lost the game, but Dark Yugi assures him it is only the beginning.

Shadi speaks with Yugi after leaving and sees that Yugi is completely unaware of "the other Yugi".

Shadi spares Yoshimori a Shadow Game, as he plans to use him a test for Yugi. He redocerates Yoshimori's room. After Kanekura's death, Yugi, [[Solomon Muto|Sugoroku]], [[Joey Wheeler|Jonouchi]], and [[Téa Gardner|Anzu]] come to his office to cheer him up. Possessed by Shadi, Yoshimori knocks out Sugoroku and begins strangling Jonouchi. Anzu releases Jonouchi by walloping, Yoshimori with a globe. Shadi leaves Yoshimori chase Jonouchi around the building, while he redocerates Anzu's soul to use in a Shadow Game against Yugi.

With Anzu hostage, Dark Yugi is forced to meet Shadi on the roof for the game. To win the game the player must make their opponent show weakness in their heart. Anzu was made stand on a board suspended over the side of a building by a series of ropes held to the building by ushabti. Four [[wikipedia:ushabti|ushabti]] represented Yugi's heart, while one represented Shadi's. The ushabti break up when weakness is detected in its corresponding player's heart. Causing Dark Yugi's to break would let Anzu fall and causing Shadi's to break would let the Millennium Key slide to Anzu's hand removing the possession spell.

Seeing Anzu's danger immediatly causes one ushabti to smash. Shadi puts Dark Yugi through a series of game tests, which he passes. His last test involved an illusion of Jonouchi. The two were made play a game, where they must cause their opponent to fall of the edge. Jonouchi taunts Yugi identically to how he did as a bully. Yugi's reaction caused two ushabti to shatter. Unaware if it's the real Jonouchi or an illusion, Dark Yugi refuses to take his turns in the game. Shadi is shocked at this decision. Jonouchi forces Yugi to an edge and Yugi refuses to take his turn, explaining that he trusts Jonouchi. The illusion then fades away.

The last rope supporting Anzu's platform begins to break, but the real Jonouchi arrives and holds it up. Suprised at how the friends support each other, Shadi's ushabti shatters and Anzu is restored to normal. Jonouchi struggles to hold up the board as the possessed professor tries attacking him. Dark Yugi helps Anzu back to the building and instructs Jonouchi to touch the Key off the professor.

Shadi appeared before [[Yugi Muto]] in [[Duelist Kingdom]] and entered his mind. Shadi found that Yugi's soul had been divided into two [[Soul room]]s. One of them was for [[Yami Yugi]] and the other was for Yugi. Shadi entered Yami's mind to find any clues that might lead him to the thief who stole Pegasus's Millennium Eye (Yami Bakura). As Shadi attempted to find any clues, he was attacked by multiple traps in the Pharaoh's mind. Shadi almost met his end, but was rescued by Yugi. As both attempted to find clues to the thief of the Millennium Eye, they were attacked by [[Dark Magician]] who emerged from a stone tablet. Shadi was standing on a stone tablet of the [[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]] and attempted to defend him and Yugi by summoning the dragon. However Yugi reasoned with the Dark Magician and convinced the magician to call off his attack, much to Shadi's amazement. Shadi then suspected that Yugi was the chosen one. Once Shadi exited Yugi's mind, he apologized for the intrusion. He then warned Yugi to be careful and watch out for the thief. Before he dispersed, Yugi asked for his name and Shadi told him.

Design[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Shadi is a tall and thin Egyptian man with blue eyes and a bald head. He usually dresses in white and cream robes with a turban on his head and orange shoes. He wears the Millennium Key around his neck on a string, and his ears are pierced with golden rings hanging from strings.

Etymology[edit]

"Shadi" (شادي) is a name used in Arabic-speaking countries as well as in the Indian subcontinent. The name is traditionally given to Arab Christian and Muslim males. The word "Shadi" is of Arabic origin and has the archaic meaning of "singer".

Biography[edit]

History[edit]

Shadi was killed by Yami Bakura at least 5 years before the present day events of the series,[2][3] which meant that Shadi was a disembodied spirit and insubstantially incorporeal ghost normally whenever the characters encountered him. However, such as when saving Tristan and Duke's lives from falling off Seto Kaiba's Blimp, Shadi did have the power to become substantial for a short time. In the dub, he was killed by Bandit King Bakura millennia ago.

Shadi had guarded the tomb where the seven Millennium Items were once kept. Shadi forcefully gave the Millennium Eye to Maximillion Pegasus.

When Yami Marik murdered his father, Shadi gave him the message that the Pharaoh would return, which caused Marik to believe that the Pharaoh was responsible for his father's demise. In the English dub, Mr. Ishtar was sent to the Shadow Realm.

Duelist Kingdom[edit]

Shadi appeared before Yugi Muto in Duelist Kingdom and entered his mind. Shadi found that Yugi's soul had been divided into two Soul rooms. One of them was for Yami Yugi and the other was for Yugi. Shadi entered Yami's mind to find any clues that might lead him to the thief who stole Pegasus's Millennium Eye (Yami Bakura). As Shadi attempted to find any clues, he was attacked by multiple traps in the Pharaoh's mind. Shadi almost met his end, but was rescued by Yugi. As both attempted to find clues to the thief of the Millennium Eye, they were attacked by Dark Magician who emerged from a stone tablet. Shadi was standing on a stone tablet of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and attempted to defend him and Yugi by summoning the dragon. However Yugi reasoned with the Dark Magician and convinced the magician to call off his attack, much to Shadi's amazement. Shadi then suspected that Yugi was the chosen one. Once Shadi exited Yugi's mind, he apologized for the intrusion. He then warned Yugi to be careful and watch out for the thief. Before he dispersed, Yugi asked for his name and Shadi told him.

Battle City[edit]

Shadi appeared once again during Battle City; he appeared and saved Tristan and Duke, whom had gotten into a fight over Serenity and were forced to hang onto the end of the blimp for their lives.

Later, Shadi appeared to Yugi and warned him about all seven Millennium Items being aboard Kaiba Craft 3 and were used during the Battle City Tournament. Then, he explained to Yugi how Pegasus came across the Egyptian Gods and recreated them as Duel Monsters cards. He then told him of the curses that came afterwards which caused the death of everyone involved in the production of the Gods (in the English dub, they vanished without a trace), and that Pegasus was forced to return them to the tomb where he discovered the Gods. Shadi then met up with Ishizu Ishtar to discuss the evil within Marik that was growing (Yami Marik) and must be stopped. He then vanished once again.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters[edit]

During the time of Alexander the Great, Shadi forced Alexander to undergo a trial in order to prove that he deserved the power of the Millennium Ring. Thousands of years later, he told Yami Yugi and Yami Alexander to face off for the power of the ring.

Dawn of the Duel[edit]

Shadi helped Yami Yugi during the Dark RPG. He appeared in front of the stone tablet which bore the image of Priest Seto and Pharaoh Atem. Tristan was able to recognize him and pointed out that Shadi was the one who saved him and Duke during the Battle City Tournament. Using the power of the Millennium Key, Shadi got Yami Yugi's friends into the Millennium World through Yami Yugi's memory. When Pharaoh Atem was about to be killed by Zorc Necrophades, Shadi possessed the body of Hasan to help Atem during his fight with Zorc. However, he met his destruction with a blast from the evil being.

After the Dark RPG and the Battle Ritual, Atem proceeded to his afterlife, and the seven Millennium Items were destroyed. While the tomb was crumbling and the people had left the main chamber, Shadi's spirit had appeared and disappeared one last time; he was finally able to rest in peace in the spirit world.
