The Wicked Gods, known as Devil Gods in the Japanese version, were originally featured in the Yu-Gi-Oh! R manga; these cards formed the dark counterparts of the Egyptian God Cards.

Story

In Yu-Gi-Oh! R, these cards are revealed to have been made by Maximillion Pegasus in secret some time after creating the Egyptian God cards. Yako Tenma reveals that Pegasus created the Wicked Gods to keep the original three gods in check.

The Wicked God cards, like their Egyptian God counterparts, were never released to the public. Yako later took the cards in order to enact revenge on Yugi Mutou for the death of Pegasus. Once he touched "The Wicked Avatar", the card possessed him, damaging his mind and giving him a need for revenge. Yako would spend some time 'testing' the cards, including his first Duel against Yugi. He also possessed his brother, Gekko Tenma to test "The Wicked Avatar". Tenma would also revive Keith Howard and presented him with "The Wicked Eraser" to use in his Deck. During his final battle against Yugi, Yako used all three gods in quick succession.

The Wicked God cards seem to be exceptionally powerful, stated by Yako to have been created solely to keep the Egyptian God cards in line. The Gods seemed to be able to revive the dead, since Yako was able to revive Keith Howard using the cards. The three Wicked Gods were in fact primarily used in Yako's attempt to revive Pegasus. By linking Anzu Mazaki to the Gods, and using "The Wicked Avatar" as a medium, Yako would have revived Pegasus' spirit. This plan ultimately failed when Yugi destroyed the "Avatar" using an enhanced "Obelisk The Progenitor". In addition to "Avatar" possessing Yako, it allowed Yako to posses others, such as his brother, Gekko.

Comparison to the Egyptian Gods

These cards share the Hierarchy System with their counterparts (e.g., among the Egyptian God Cards "Obelisk the Tormentor" and "Slifer the Sky Dragon" were Hierarchy 1, while "The Winged Dragon of Ra" was Hierarchy 2), with The Wicked Avatar higher than the other two. It is also known that they share the remainder of the "Divine" traits with the Egyptian God Cards. Like the hierarchy of the Egyptian Gods in the manga, the Wicked Avatar (who is at the top) cannot be destroyed by the other two gods, as well as being invincible against Obelisk the Tormentor and Slifer the Sky Dragon.

• The Wicked Dreadroot - A dark counterpart of Obelisk the Tormentor. He looks human shaped with wings like Obelisk and the same ATK and DEF as Obelisk too.
• The Wicked Eraser - A dark counterpart of Slifer the Sky Dragon. He looks like a dragon, just like Slifer. He also shares a similar ATK-gaining effect.
• The Wicked Avatar - A dark counterpart of The Winged Dragon of Ra. He looks like The Winged Dragon of Ra (Sphere Mode).

One key difference that must be noted, however, is that these are intended as the opposites of the Egyptian God Cards. Hence, while both are "Divine", the kanji is placed against the LIGHT-attribute symbol for the Egyptian God Cards, but against the DARK-attribute coloration for the Wicked God Cards. In order to avoid a repetition of the unplayability issue which surrounds the DIVINE/Divine-Beast-Type Egyptian God Cards, however, Konami has made the "real world" cards DARK/Fiend-Type monsters.

Unlike the Egyptian God cards or Sacred Beast cards, the Wicked Gods do not have a fourth, ultimate member.
