Another Japanese cartoon that has become so popular that it spread to other parts of the world. Debuting in 1996 in popular Anime/Manga magazine, "Shonen Jump", by creator Kazuki Takahashi. Main character 'Yugi' must help his dark half, an Egyptian Pharoah who has lost his memory, save the world from dark evil that never seems to end. A 5,000 year old game has been linked to the present day in this popular Anime series which has hooked (mostly) boys from 6-17.
That's the clean and nice version. This is the original.
When originally published weekly in the magazine, Yugi and his small group of friends, TΓ©a, Joey and Tristan, just try to get through life living in Japan while attending a private high school. Yugi seems to get involved in "adult" situations usually involving guns, gang violence, and sex, and has to find a way out. His other, dark, half comes out whenever he feels Yugi is in trouble and challenges his enemies to games where if they lose, they must play a "penalty game" where their life is changed to make them have a taste of their own medicine. That's what it was like in Japan, before it hit American Censors.
To anyone who feels this is just another PokΓ©mon or other Anime, blame the censors, not Japan. And, to those who are knocking this HUGE hit, how many graphic novels have you read that make you know what the real story is? Don't knock it 'till you tried it.
Person 1: Hey, did you read Yu-Gi-Oh book 5 yet?
Person 2: Not yet, but I can't wait!
Person 3: You actually read that?
Persons 1 and 2: Yeah. Who in their right mind isn't reading "Yu-Gi-Oh!"?

Ying-Yu or Emily is the best friend you will ever have. She'll seem shy at first but gets only a little crazy when you get to know her. She knows when your sad and will give the best hugs. When you find an Ying-Yu or an Emily never let her go. She also can take sarcasm or jokes seriously but over one of the best girls you'll meet.
Ying-Yu/ Emily is my best friend ever since 5th grade.
1. An awesome anime which was ruined by 4kids. Has 2 spin-off shows, known as Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (which sucks on both versions), and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (which sucks balls in the dub, but is actually pretty good in the original Japanese version with subs)/ Also has a hilarious parody known as Yu-Gi-Oh! the abridged series.
2. A popular trading card game, based on the anime. People say it's kiddish, but its actually fun and requires strategy.
1. Guy 1: Man Yu-Gi-Oh! is the worst show ever! It sucks and its for kids! And 5D's is even worse!
Guy 2: Try watching the original Japanese version on subtitles).
Guy 1 (after watching original Japanese version on subtitles): Man, this show rocks! But I still think 5D's sucks
Guy 2: Like the original, the Japanese version of 5D's on subtitles is far better than the 4kids dub.
Guy 1 (after watching original Jpanese version): You're right! 5D's rocks, and so does the original Yu-Gi-Oh!
2. Guy 3 (pokemon fan): Dude you play Yu-Gi-Oh! you nerdy faggot, yugayho is the gayest game ever lolololololol
Guy 4: Stfu and go back to your Pokemon, which sucks and is for kids.
