Millennium Key

Millennium Key

The Millennium Key, known as the Millennium Lock (千（せん）年（ねん）錠（じょう） Sennenjō) in the Japanese version, is a Millennium Item in the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime.

It is in the shape of an ankh, the Egyptian symbol of life, and is the only Millennium Item without the Eye of Wdjat on it.

History

After it was made, the Millennium Key was given to Shimon and later passed on to Shada.

In Ancient Egypt, Shimon used the Millennium Key to seal Exodia the Forbidden One into five stone tablets. During the battle with Zorc, Shimon was forced to use the Key to release Exodia. The Millennium Key allowed Shimon to control Exodia, but it also forced him to feel all of Exodia's injuries, which eventually lead to his death (or being sent to the Shadow Realm in the dub).

The Key, along with the Ring, Eye, and Scale, were guarded by a faction of the Tomb Keepers. The Ring and Eye were given to other people, leaving the Scale and Key to Shadi. After the Battle Ritual, the Key, along with all the other Millennium Items, were buried underground.

Abilities

Its primary unique ability is the power to unlock the doors of a person's soul, giving the user access to the "Room of the Soul".
