Biography
School
Yugi Muto solved most of the Millennium Puzzle while he was under the pressure of coming up with money to pay Ushio, for his self imposed body guard fees. However he was beaten-up by Ushio as he searched for a missing piece. Katsuya Jonouchi returned the last piece to Yugi, as he tried fighting Ushio off. Barely conscious, Yugi finished the Millennium Puzzle and his body became host to Dark Yugi.[1]
Dark Yugi confronted Ushio and challenged him to a Shadow Game. A deck of cards, which Dark Yugi pretended was the money, was placed on top of a dome and both players hung freely from a rope over around the spike at the top of the dome. Lined on the dome alongside between the two players was a row of cards. How they advanced to the top was dictated by what card they turned over. Ushio attempted to cheat, earning him a Penalty Game, where he imagined he fell into a pit of monsters.[1]
When Anzu Mazaki was held captive by the escaped convict, Jiro the Jorogumo, armed with a gun at Burger World, Yugi was forced to serve Jiro cigarettes and vodka. Dark Yugi took control and challenged Jiro to a game. With Anzu blindfolded she couldn't see who was challenging Jiro; It sounded like Yugi's voice, but was too confident and daring to be Yugi. Playing a Shadow Game, where each player can only move one of their ten fingers, Jiro chose his index finger that pulls his gun's trigger and Dark Yugi chose his thumb to light the cigarette lighter. Dark Yugi lit the convicts cigarette but then dropped the lighter onto the convicts hand while it is pouring a 90% alcohol drink into his glass that has overflowed onto Jiro's body. Should Jiro pull the trigger the recoil of the gun wold tip over the lighter and set him alight. Jiro cheated by putting down the gun and removing the lighter so Dark Yugi inflicted a Penalty Game, where Jiro believed he was set on fire.[2]
Shotaro Akaboshi stole a watch Honda had bought for Miho. Dark Yugi met up with him later and played a Shadow Game, where each player tried to stop the watch after it activated closest to 10 seconds, after 10 seconds a pendulum would pass and should the player be too slow their hand would be cut off. Shotaro lost but still attempts to take the watch after he lost and was given a Penalty Game, where he imagined his body became made of clockwork parts.[3]
During the Digital Pet Duel after Haiyama attacked Yugi and his friends and tried turning Honda into his pet, Dark Yugi connected Yugi's Digital Pet, U2 with Haiyama's. The game became a Shadow Game and the pets appeared as real beings. Using data it incorporated from a connection with Jonouchi's pet, U2 upgraded form like Dark Yugi and was able to defeat Haiyama's pet. Haiyama started whipping his pet, telling it to get up. For Haiyama's Penalty Game, he imagined the pet turning on him and eating him.[4]
Mayumi had left a puzzle love letter for Jonouchi under his desk. This results in Ms. Chono setting Anzu up to face expulsion. For her cruel intentions, Dark Yugi plays a Shadow Game with Ms. Chono, where they assemble smashed mirrors while blindfolded. Ms. Chono cheats and Dark Yugi inflicts a Penalty Game on her, making her make-up peel away, revealing her true ugly face.[5]
Warashibe, who was obsessed with Miho, forced her into a game of Capsule Monster Chess. After realizing Warashibe cheated by using a rigged dispenser, Yugi and Miho try to leave, but Warashibe traps them by dropping a portcullis, which breaks and falls and Yugi and Miho. Dark Yugi emerges and finishes the CapMon game, winning it. Warashibe recieves a Penalty Game, where he imagines himself being trapped inside a giant CapMon capsule.[6]
When Miho enters a popularity contest at school a girl obsessed with her beauty tears Miho's swimsuit and dress, dark Yugi challenges her to a shadow game involving pulling her flowers and whoever pulled the last loses. Her victory seem inevitable with one flower left and it being Yugi's pull, Yugi pulls the one from her hair leaving the true last for her. She is given a penalty game showing herself as an old person. Later she dunks herself with water and is upset and withdrawn from the competition.
Death-T
Dark Yugi does not appear during most of Death-T, but comes in right before Yugi battles Mokuba in Capsule Monster Chess. And then beats Kaiba in Duel Monsters for a final time.
Monster World
Yami Yugi appears when Yami Bakura traps Yugi and his friends' souls in Monster World figures while they were playing a Monster World Shadow Game. Yami Yugi played for all of them against Yami Bakura. Yami Yugi quickly notices that Bakura is using Dice Rolling techniques to get a lot of advantage so he does the same, forcing Yami Bakura to agree to ban using Dice Rolling techniques.
Yami Bakura cheats by using Mind Dice that always roll the numbers he wants. When his avatar Dark Master Zorc is damaged Ryo Bakura takes control of his left arm and starts hindering Yami Bakura's playing. Yami Yugi notices it and uses Yugi's ability to take control of opponents to rescue Bakura. When Zorc is about to be defeated Yami Bakura does a final attempt to win by destroying Zorc which would also destroy the rest of the players, resulting in his victory. Bakura, Yugi, and his friends ruin his plan by destroying the Mind Dice which allows Yami Yugi to defeat Zorc and Yami Bakura
