This article decribes '''[[Yami Yugi|Dark Yugi]]''' as he appeared in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (first series anime)|Toei Animation's Yu-Gi-Oh! series]]. The anime was only ever officially released in Japanaese, so this page uses Japanese version names.
The first series anime is based on volumes 1 to 7 of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|manga]]. Dark Yugi existance is unknown to [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] and his friends for most of the series. Dark Yugi often helps them by playing dangereous games with people who trespassed on their souls. These games often resulted Dark Yugi is in complete contorl of these [[Shadow Games|Yami No Games]] and as he states they reveal the true nature of humans, and their true purpose was not to gain the reward seemingly offered at the start of the game, but to test whether the person could obey the rules. Dark Yugi has stated to virtually every opponent that he knew from the start that they would not obey the rules and intiates a harsh [[Penalty Game]]s for breaking the rules. Every [[Penalty Game]] has been an illusion of horror intiated by the [[Millenium Puzzle]] that only the loserperson can see and feel.
His appearance is more maniacal and eviler than later and he in this series he is portrayed as being in complete control of the [[Shadow Games|Yami No Games]] that he manipulates. His voice is much higher than in the second series but is distinctively more confident and slightly deeper than Yugi's childish voice. His fringe isn't as stiff and rigid at this stage and his eyes are red rather than purple like Yugi's. Also the transformation sequence from Yugi to [[Dark Yugi]] is different to the second series anime, rather than Yugi's hair being blown about by the wind before being surrounded by blue light in the second series, Yugi's form zooms into a shadow of Dark Yugi with Dark Yugi's glowing eyes and the Eye of Wdjat on his forehead.
