It is based on the [[Millennium Ring (manga)|Millennium Ring]] from the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' manga]].
3,000 years before present day events (5,000 in the dub), the Millennium Ring and the other [[Millennium Items]] were forged in [[Kul Elna]] by sacrificing 99 souls of the Kul Elna villagers. The items were created in order to protect Egypt from attackers. [[Mahad]] had the Millennium Ring before [[Bandit King Bakura]].

[[Alexander the Great]] came into possession with this item. During his time, he won many battles with it, and claims it to be his lucky charm, but years later, the Ring somehow corrupted his mind (possibly, it has the power to split a person's soul into two pieces: one is Alexander's light-soul and the other is Alexander's dark-soul due to the fragment of Zorc's soul and his power being sealed away).
 
 
 
In the present day at the start of the anime [[Bakura Ryou]] had it, he later lost it to [[Yami Marik]]. After [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] defeated Marik, Marik Ishtar gave the Ring to Yugi. When [[Rex Raptor|Rex]] and [[Weevil Underwood|Weevil]] mistakenly took Yugi's Millennium Items in an attempt to steal his [[Egyptian God]] cards, Yami Bakura retrieved it back from them.

The Millennium Ring seems to possess the darkest powers, possibly due to having been corrupted by Zorc's powers ever since its creation in the anime (where it fell into a chasm where the Tablet of Lost Memories rose from and Zorc emerging the first time). Mahad even mentioned that he could sense incredibly evil energy within the Ring when he wore it. Evidence of the evil powers still existing within it is that despite the fact that it is no longer housing the soul and power of Yami Bakura, who was Zorc.

The Millennium Ring

The Millennium Ring (Japanese: せんねんリング, Sennen Ringu) is one of the Millennium Items. It was the item held by Mahad in the past and Bakura Ryou in the present.

It is based on the Millennium Ring from the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga.

Powers

Yami Bakura holding the Millennium Ring

The Millennium Ring's can point to other Millennium Items, like a compass. Like the Millennium Puzzle, it had a soul sealed inside of it, in this case a fragment of the soul of Zorc Necrophades (who had also lost his memories) and a portion of Bakura's past life, Bandit King Bakura. Another well-known power of the Ring is its ability to seal one's soul, or portions of one's soul into other objects, including itself and other Millennium Items.

The Millennium Ring can harness the magic of the Shadow Games. It can initiate mystical games where the players cannot be disturbed, cast illusions, and manipulate souls. It also gives the owner other magic powers, including clairvoyance, interfering with the powers of other Millennium Items, immobilizing people, and knocking people unconscious.

Like other Millennium Items, it can strengthen the holder's ka, such as when it granted the "Shadow Camouflage" ability to Bandit King Bakura's Diabound.

The Ring has a way of finding itself back to its chosen host, as shown when Bakura mysteriously regained the Ring after Tristan threw it out of a tower into the forest in Duelist Kingdom.

The Millennium Ring has the ability to split the owner's soul in two as seen with Alexander The Great and Yami Alexander.

The Millennium Ring seems to possess the darkest powers, possibly due to having been corrupted by Zorc's powers ever since its creation in the anime (where it fell into a chasm where the Tablet of Lost Memories rose from and Zorc emerging the first time). Mahad even mentioned that he could sense incredibly evil energy within the Ring when he wore it. Evidence of the evil powers still existing within it is that despite the fact that it is no longer housing the soul and power of Yami Bakura, who was Zorc.

History

Ancient Egypt

3,000 years before present day events (5,000 in the dub), the Millennium Ring and the other Millennium Items were forged in Kul Elna by sacrificing 99 souls of the Kul Elna villagers. The items were created in order to protect Egypt from attackers. Mahad had the Millennium Ring before Bandit King Bakura. Bakura sealed his soul in the Ring, along with a portion of Zorc's, which formed Yami Bakura.

Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great came into possession with this item. During his time, he won many battles with it, and claims it to be his lucky charm, but years later, the Ring somehow corrupted his mind (possibly, it has the power to split a person's soul into two pieces: one is Alexander's light-soul and the other is Alexander's dark-soul due to the fragment of Zorc's soul and his power being sealed away).

Duelist Kingdom

A merchant, said to be from the Shadow Realm, came to possess the Millennium Ring. At a bazaar in Egypt, he sold the Millennium Ring and the Duel Monsters card, "Seven-Armed Fiend", to Bakura's father. (In the English dub, the merchant said the card was connected to Duel Monsters.) Bakura's father passed the Ring on to his son, Bakura Ryou. (In the English dub, he said that he felt his son was destined to have it.)[1]

Holding the Millennium Ring caused Bakura to house the soul of Yami Bakura, who was able to take full control of Bakura's body.[1]

Bakura brought the Millennium Ring with him to Duelist Kingdom. During the first night of the tournament, Yami Bakura took control of his body and used the Millennium Ring to turn a game of Duel Monsters Bakura was about to play with his friends into a Shadow Game. Using the Ring, he trapped the souls of Yugi Muto, Joey Wheeler, Téa Gardner, and Tristan Taylor in cards that they like, while he Dueled against Yami Yugi. However Bakura Ryou's soul was also trapped in a card and Yami Yugi was able to swap the positions of the two Bakuras souls. After the Shadow Game, Bakura told Yugi how he got the Millennium Ring.[1]

Battle City

Yami Bakura lost the Millennium Ring to Yami Marik. After Yugi defeated Marik, Marik Ishtar gave the Ring to Yugi.

Pharaoh's Memories

When Rex and Weevil mistakenly took Yugi's Millennium Items in an attempt to steal his Egyptian God cards, Yami Bakura retrieved it back from them. As the RPG replayed Atem's life, Bandit King Bakura managed to steal it again from Mahad. He once again gathered the Items and Summoned Zorc. Yugi then retrieves the Millennium Ring after the demise of Zorc and Yami Bakura.

Battle Ritual

After the Battle Ritual, the Ring, along with all the other Millennium Items, fell underground.
