'''Alister''', known as '''Amelda''' (アメルダ ''Ameruda'') in the Japanese version, is a character in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' anime and one of the main antagonists of the [[Waking the Dragons]] arc. After all of Doma was free from the Great Leviathan, he redeems himself.  
+
'''Anubis''' is the main antagonist in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light]]''. In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters: Pyramid of Light (novel)|novelization]] of the movie, he is revealed to be the co-creator of the [[Pyramid of Light (item)|Pyramid of Light]], alongside [[Aknadin]].
  
Alister often quarrels with [[Valon]] because of each one's personal reasons to go after each one's target (in the dub, they argued over whose target was stronger). Alister also bought over half of [[Seto Kaiba]]'s [[KaibaCorp|company]] but it's unclear whether he used [[Maximillion Pegasus]]'s money or money from the [[Paradius]] corporation.
+
He is named after [[wikipedia:Anubis|Anubis]], the god of the dead in [[wikipedia:Egyptian mythology|Egyptian mythology]].

+
When he reveals himself in his incomplete form to [[Yami Yugi]], Anubis was shown as a tanned, muscular man with dirty blonde hair, red eyes, and a jewel embedded in his forehead. His clothing consisted of a black cape attached to spiked padding which were held by strings, along with gray shoulder pads, black pants, and the Pyramid of Light hanging around his neck.
  
Alister's usual outfit consists of a large open full-body coat with padded shoulders and belted sleeves, a cropped top (that reveals his midsection) and fingerless gloves with studded knuckles. His [[Orichalcos Stone]] is worn on a piece of lace around his neck. He carries a [[Chaos Duel Disk]].  
+
When [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] had a vision after being driven unconscious by a strange force when looking at the pyramid, he saw Kaiba being grabbed by Anubis, who had a black, jackal-like head with a white muzzle, instead of his human head.

===Voice and mannerisms===

After losing the Duel to Yugi, Anubis used the power of the center jewel of the Pyramid of Light to assume a monstrous form that started off as slime, until forming an armored, jackal-like monster that could stand on its hind legs, possessed bladed wings, an axe-like blade on top of his head, and the Pyramid's jewel in the center of his chest.
In the dub, he has a habit of making fun of the lesser members of Doma by calling them names. He called [[Gurimo]] "geezer" and "old man", [[Rex Raptor]] and [[Weevil Underwood]] "twerps" and "nimrods", and [[Mai Valentine]] "Little Miss Loudmouth".  
 
  
 
===Etymology===
 
===Etymology===
The names of Alister and his fellows (known as The Three Swordsmen of Doma in the Japanese version), in addition to Dartz himself, are drawn from [[wikipedia:The_Three_Musketeers|The Three Musketeers]]; Alister's original name is derived from [[wikipedia:Aramis|Aramis]], also known as the Duke of Alameda. His dub name is based on [[Wikipedia:Aleister Crowley|Aleister Crowley]], the British occultist who created the Unicursal Hexagram, the symbol used for "[[The Seal of Orichalcos]]".
+
In Egyptian Mythology, Anubis is the Egyptian god of embalming, possessing a jackal head and was said to have created the first Egyptian mummy. Anubis was originally the God of the Underworld and of the dead (later replaced by Osiris). This character has several similarities to the Egyptian God Anubis; his title of "Lord of the Dead" and the jackal-like head of his monstrous form, along with his ability to control mummies. However, the Egyptians never viewed Anubis as evil; in fact, he was one of their most respected and revered gods, due to his role of bringing the dead to the afterlife.

 +
==Abilities==
 +
Anubis' powers are connected to the Pyramid of Light, a magical artifact with shadow powers that rival the Millennium Puzzle. With the item, its powers allow him to spiritually travel to any place he wants, transport his mummified body and his item into the Millennium Puzzle's inner world, command undead servants, influence the thoughts of people, and show others a vision of the future. When the Pyramid of Light card is in play in a Duel, Anubis is able to drain life energy from others who have taken damage during the Duel, in order to restore himself.
 +
 
 +
He is also shown to be able to create his cards out of thin air, like the Pyramid of Light card, which he put in Pegasus' Deck, and materializing his Sphinx monsters through a black slime that releases from his hands. In his vision of the future, it is revealed that the Pyramid could materialize countless monsters at his command, so he could use them to destroy all life on Earth.
 +
 
 +
Anubis' original form shows him with tan skin, a ragged black cape, and the Pyramid of Light. When in his true monster form, Anubis is able to breathe a devastating black flame from his mouth and can easily resist attacks from other monsters. In his presence, Duelists can Summon ''Duel Monsters'' cards that have real powers, including their special effects, as [[Joey Wheeler]] was able to Summon "[[Gilford the Lightning (anime)|Gilford the Lightning]]" and "[[Gearfried the Iron Knight (anime)|Gearfried the Iron Knight]]" to battle Anubis, [[Maximillion Pegasus]] was able to Summon "[[Toon Dark Magician Girl (anime)|Toon Dark Magician Girl]]" and "[[Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon (later anime)|Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon]]" to stop falling debris, while Yugi and Kaiba were able to Summon "[[Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon]]", whose special effect to destroy any monster brought his end once and for all.

===History===
[[File:Alister save.jpg|thumb|180px|Alister saving [[Mikey|his brother]] after their home was attacked by a tank missile]]
+
Anubis was an evil sorcerer who commanded evil [[Shadow Realm]] monsters. He and [[Aknadin]] created the [[Pyramid of Light (item)|Pyramid of Light]], a failed replica of the [[Millennium Puzzle]]. Aknadin sought to have this item given to his son to take over as Pharaoh from Atem, but Anubis stole the evil item. Now, armed with the Pyramid and his monsters at his disposal, Anubis sought to use them to destroy all life on Earth. However, [[Pharaoh Atem]] stepped up to him and defeated Anubis with the Dagger of Fate. Unbeknownst to Atem, Anubis sealed his soul inside the Pyramid of Light.
When Alister was a child, the country he lived in was torn apart by war. In the dub, [[KaibaCorp]] bought the land from the city. When the residents refused to leave, [[Gozaburo Kaiba]] decided to force them out. Many were forced to dig tunnels and steal food to survive.  
 
  
[[File:Alister mother.png|thumb|left|A photograph of their mother Alister kept in his locket]]
+
A team of researchers discovered the tomb of Anubis. Yugi solving the puzzle caused both the Pharaoh and Anubis to awaken. His awakening caused the tomb to collapse.
Alister and his brother managed to survive. In the original, there was a war going on between two countries and Gozaburo Kaiba supplied the weapons to both sides. In the English dub, Alister's mother (seen only briefly during the 150th episode inside his locket) and his brother, [[Mikey]], were eventually captured.  
 
  
[[File:Milkey death.jpg|thumb|His brother was killed when the tank he was in blew up.]]
+
Later, another team of scientists uncovered Anubis and the Pyramid of Light. His body and his item, as well as other items of his, were moved to the [[Domino City]] Museum. Anubis' spirit was now free to move about.
In the Japanese version, his brother was killed when the tank he was in blew up. Alister has hated [[Seto Kaiba]] ever since and has designated him as his target. [[Dartz]] found him and offered him the chance to join his organization.  
 
  
Unknown to Alister, Dartz had disguised himself as Gozaburo Kaiba and was responsible for the attack. One of Alister's treasured keepsakes is his brother's broken action figure, [[Dyna Dude]], from the [[Monster Card|monster]] "[[Air Fortress Ziggurat]]" (for this monster, Dyna Dude is a robot token).
+
One night, the sorcerer slipped into [[Maximillion Pegasus|Pegasus]]' room at night, placing the "[[Pyramid of Light (anime)|Pyramid of Light]]" card in with other cards of Pegasus' collection, anticipating Kaiba's plans. Kaiba later defeated Pegasus and took both the "[[Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon]]" and the "Pyramid of Light" cards.
  
[[File:Broken Dyna Dude.jpg|thumb|left|180px|Alister holding his brother's burned Dyna Dude]]
+
===Pyramid of Light===
Alister is involved in two Duels, both of which are against Seto Kaiba. In the first one, Alister disguises himself as [[Maximillion Pegasus]] and challenges Kaiba. Halfway through the Duel, Alister pulls off his disguise and reveals his true identity and motivation after Kaiba deduces that he's not the real Pegasus.  
+
Anubis was now able to manipulate Kaiba. Kaiba and Yugi/Atem then Dueled. After Seto played [[Pyramid of Light (anime)|Pyramid of Light]], a shadow game had begun and made a super-sized Pyramid of Light. To make things worse, it [[Banish|removed from play]] all three of Yugi's [[Egyptian God]] cards. Anubis was able to infiltrate the Millennium Puzzle and began to drain the Pharaoh's life when he lost [[Life Points]]. Yugi, Joey and Tristan were sealed in the Puzzle too. Anubis was also able to create an army of undead warriors to guard him during his Resurrection.
  
The Duel ends in a [[DRAW]]. In the second Duel, Alister disguises himself as a pilot and takes off with Kaiba on board. Halfway through the flight, Alister puts the plane on autopilot and challenges Kaiba again. When Kaiba gained the upper hand, Alister decided not to end his turn so the plane crash would kill him, Kaiba and Mokuba (in the dub, the seal would absorb all three of them if the plane crashed). In the end, Alister fails due to Kaiba using "[[Fang of Critias]]" to win the Duel and the Legendary Dragons saving the plane. As the seal takes his soul, Alister sees Mokuba as his brother and gives him his brother's [[Dyna Dude]] action figure before collapsing.
+
Tea was later sucked into the Puzzle. Joey and Tristan got sick of sitting around and eventually started to fight the mummies.
{{-}}
+
 
=== Grand Championship ===
+
After a while in the Duel, Kaiba tried to destroy the "Pyramid of Light" to gain control of the god cards, but Anubis stopped this and took over the Duel himself. Anubis Summoned "[[Andro Sphinx (anime)|Andro Sphinx]]" and "[[Sphinx Teleia (anime)|Sphinx Teleia]]", since "Pyramid of Light" was on his [[field]]. He also puts "[[Theinen the Great Sphinx (anime)|Theinen the Great Sphinx]]" [[face-down]] on the field. He destroys all of Atem's monsters, but Yugi stabs an eye inside the puzzle, which was the source of the Pyramid of Light's power, with the Dagger of Fate.  
[[File:Alisterpast.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Alister after the Waking Dragon arc]]
 
He has another possible appearance at the end of the [[Grand Championship]] arc in the background by the [[wikipedia:Leaning Tower of Pisa|Leaning Tower of Pisa]] during the celebrations of [[Yugi Muto]]'s victory over [[Leon von Schroeder]].
 
  
=== Dawn of the Duel ===
+
Weakened by this, Atem was able to use "[[Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon]]" to destroy the Pyramid and all of Anubis' monsters. However, "Theinen the Great Sphinx" is revealed and Anubis uses his Pyramid of Light to raise its [[ATK]] to 35,000. Atem counters by bringing back the Egyptian Gods and merges them together to destroy "Theinen" and Anubis.  
He appears at the end of the [[Dawn of the Duel]] arc during Pegasus' monologue, most likely searching for survivors from his town (or in the dub, his family).
 
{{-}}
 
==Deck==
 
Alister utilizes three [[Deck]]s during the series. The first is a '''"[[Toon]]" Deck''', used while he was masquerading as [[Maximillion Pegasus]] when [[Seto Kaiba]] came to confront him, and is Pegasus' own Deck. The Deck focuses on the [[Toon monster]]s, which are immune to destruction [[destroyed by battle|in battle]] and can [[attack]] [[direct attack|directly]].
 
  
After Kaiba [[destroy]]s "[[Toon World (later anime)|Toon World]]" with "[[A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon (anime)|A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon]]", Alister reveals himself and begins to use his second Deck, a '''Gorlag Deck''' from his own [[Duel Disk#Chaos Duel Disk|Chaos Duel Disk]]. This Deck focuses on "[[Gorlag]]", who [[Special Summon]]s any monster it destroys to Alister's field as a [[FIRE]] [[Attribute]] monster, raising its ATK for each FIRE monster on the [[field]]. Alister further supports "Gorlag" with "[[Aetonyx Flame]]" and "[[Fire Whip]]".

Unfortunately, a part of Anubis' soul was still in the Pyramid of Light and he turned back into his true form. Even with the help of Joey and Pegasus, they were no match for Anubis. However, Kaiba found his "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" card and gave it to Yugi to seal Anubis. After the dragon was Summoned, it used its power of "[[attack name|Shining Nova]]" to sacrifice itself to seal Anubis and the Pyramid of Light for good.

Anubis

Anubis is the main antagonist in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light. In the novelization of the movie, he is revealed to be the co-creator of the Pyramid of Light, alongside Aknadin.

He is named after Anubis, the god of the dead in Egyptian mythology.

Design[edit]

Appearance[edit]

When he reveals himself in his incomplete form to Yami Yugi, Anubis was shown as a tanned, muscular man with dirty blonde hair, red eyes, and a jewel embedded in his forehead. His clothing consisted of a black cape attached to spiked padding which were held by strings, along with gray shoulder pads, black pants, and the Pyramid of Light hanging around his neck.

When Yugi had a vision after being driven unconscious by a strange force when looking at the pyramid, he saw Kaiba being grabbed by Anubis, who had a black, jackal-like head with a white muzzle, instead of his human head.

After losing the Duel to Yugi, Anubis used the power of the center jewel of the Pyramid of Light to assume a monstrous form that started off as slime, until forming an armored, jackal-like monster that could stand on its hind legs, possessed bladed wings, an axe-like blade on top of his head, and the Pyramid's jewel in the center of his chest.

Etymology[edit]

In Egyptian Mythology, Anubis is the Egyptian god of embalming, possessing a jackal head and was said to have created the first Egyptian mummy. Anubis was originally the God of the Underworld and of the dead (later replaced by Osiris). This character has several similarities to the Egyptian God Anubis; his title of "Lord of the Dead" and the jackal-like head of his monstrous form, along with his ability to control mummies. However, the Egyptians never viewed Anubis as evil; in fact, he was one of their most respected and revered gods, due to his role of bringing the dead to the afterlife.

Abilities[edit]

Anubis' powers are connected to the Pyramid of Light, a magical artifact with shadow powers that rival the Millennium Puzzle. With the item, its powers allow him to spiritually travel to any place he wants, transport his mummified body and his item into the Millennium Puzzle's inner world, command undead servants, influence the thoughts of people, and show others a vision of the future. When the Pyramid of Light card is in play in a Duel, Anubis is able to drain life energy from others who have taken damage during the Duel, in order to restore himself.

He is also shown to be able to create his cards out of thin air, like the Pyramid of Light card, which he put in Pegasus' Deck, and materializing his Sphinx monsters through a black slime that releases from his hands. In his vision of the future, it is revealed that the Pyramid could materialize countless monsters at his command, so he could use them to destroy all life on Earth.

Anubis' original form shows him with tan skin, a ragged black cape, and the Pyramid of Light. When in his true monster form, Anubis is able to breathe a devastating black flame from his mouth and can easily resist attacks from other monsters. In his presence, Duelists can Summon Duel Monsters cards that have real powers, including their special effects, as Joey Wheeler was able to Summon "Gilford the Lightning" and "Gearfried the Iron Knight" to battle Anubis, Maximillion Pegasus was able to Summon "Toon Dark Magician Girl" and "Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon" to stop falling debris, while Yugi and Kaiba were able to Summon "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon", whose special effect to destroy any monster brought his end once and for all.

Biography[edit]

History[edit]

Anubis was an evil sorcerer who commanded evil Shadow Realm monsters. He and Aknadin created the Pyramid of Light, a failed replica of the Millennium Puzzle. Aknadin sought to have this item given to his son to take over as Pharaoh from Atem, but Anubis stole the evil item. Now, armed with the Pyramid and his monsters at his disposal, Anubis sought to use them to destroy all life on Earth. However, Pharaoh Atem stepped up to him and defeated Anubis with the Dagger of Fate. Unbeknownst to Atem, Anubis sealed his soul inside the Pyramid of Light.

A team of researchers discovered the tomb of Anubis. Yugi solving the puzzle caused both the Pharaoh and Anubis to awaken. His awakening caused the tomb to collapse.

Later, another team of scientists uncovered Anubis and the Pyramid of Light. His body and his item, as well as other items of his, were moved to the Domino City Museum. Anubis' spirit was now free to move about.

One night, the sorcerer slipped into Pegasus' room at night, placing the "Pyramid of Light" card in with other cards of Pegasus' collection, anticipating Kaiba's plans. Kaiba later defeated Pegasus and took both the "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" and the "Pyramid of Light" cards.

Pyramid of Light[edit]

Anubis was now able to manipulate Kaiba. Kaiba and Yugi/Atem then Dueled. After Seto played Pyramid of Light, a shadow game had begun and made a super-sized Pyramid of Light. To make things worse, it removed from play all three of Yugi's Egyptian God cards. Anubis was able to infiltrate the Millennium Puzzle and began to drain the Pharaoh's life when he lost Life Points. Yugi, Joey and Tristan were sealed in the Puzzle too. Anubis was also able to create an army of undead warriors to guard him during his Resurrection.

Tea was later sucked into the Puzzle. Joey and Tristan got sick of sitting around and eventually started to fight the mummies.

After a while in the Duel, Kaiba tried to destroy the "Pyramid of Light" to gain control of the god cards, but Anubis stopped this and took over the Duel himself. Anubis Summoned "Andro Sphinx" and "Sphinx Teleia", since "Pyramid of Light" was on his field. He also puts "Theinen the Great Sphinx" face-down on the field. He destroys all of Atem's monsters, but Yugi stabs an eye inside the puzzle, which was the source of the Pyramid of Light's power, with the Dagger of Fate.

Weakened by this, Atem was able to use "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" to destroy the Pyramid and all of Anubis' monsters. However, "Theinen the Great Sphinx" is revealed and Anubis uses his Pyramid of Light to raise its ATK to 35,000. Atem counters by bringing back the Egyptian Gods and merges them together to destroy "Theinen" and Anubis.

Anubis's seal

Unfortunately, a part of Anubis' soul was still in the Pyramid of Light and he turned back into his true form. Even with the help of Joey and Pegasus, they were no match for Anubis. However, Kaiba found his "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" card and gave it to Yugi to seal Anubis. After the dragon was Summoned, it used its power of "Shining Nova" to sacrifice itself to seal Anubis and the Pyramid of Light for good.

Deck[edit]

Anubis plays a "Sphinx" Deck, using it to take Kaiba's place in his Duel against Yugi, after Kaiba attempts to destroy the "Pyramid of Light" card. Angered by this, Anubis takes over.

His cards focused on Summoning "Theinen the Great Sphinx" and raising its ATK to extraordinary levels.
