Three thousand years ago, an ancient Egyptian carving predicted the final battle between Yugi and Kaiba...and now that day has finally come! The heavens shake as the archrivals unleash the ultimate gods of collectible card games: Slifer the Sky Dragon and the God of the Obelisk! But will the duel be decided in the present, or will the force of the gods smash through time itself? -- VIZ Media

Only four duelists remain in the running! On the Tower of Alcatraz, Jonouchi faces Marik, the evil Egyptian duelist whose grudge has smoldered for three thousand years. But can Jonouchi fight while he''s trapped in a steel cage surrounded by molten lava? And can he overcome the power of Marik''s Egyptian God Card, the Sun Dragon Ra? If he wins, he''ll get his dream of facing Yugi in the finals. But if he loses, he''ll get a one-way ticket to the grave! -- VIZ Media

The quarterfinals are over, but not without casualties: Mai and Rishid lie in the infirmary, and if Marik isn''t defeated in 24 hours, Mai will never wake up! As the airship speeds toward its mysterious destination, Bakura and Marik end their sinister alliance and fight a vicious duel over the Millennium Rod. But who is Bakura''s unexpected ally?! Meanwhile, the four semifinalists get ready for what could be the last duels of their lives. And for Jonouchi, it''s his last chance to save Mai from Marik''s deadly power... -- VIZ Media

The third and most powerful of the Egyptian God Cards is unleashed...twice! Locked in combat with the Egyptian duelist Rishid, Jonouchi watches in shock as his opponent summons the terrifying Sun Dragon Ra! But the Ra in Rishid''s deck is a mere counterfeit...the true Ra lies in the hands of Rishid''s master Marik, at the heart of his deck of sadistic torture cards. And Marik''s next opponent is Mai Kujaku! Is she in over her head, or does she have a special reason for challenging the ruler of the gods? -- VIZ Media

It''s the duel Yugi and Jonouchi have been waiting for...but they never thought it would happen like this! Brainwashed by the evil mastermind Marik, Jonouchi is fighting to kill his best friend, and the loser will sleep with the fishes on the bottom of Domino Bay! As the tournament narrows down to eight finalists, the stage moves to the sky, to Kaiba''s private airship. Hiding among the finalists is Marik...but is Yugi''s old friend Bakura actually the most dangerous of all? Exclusive Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card included -- VIZ Media

The place: the top of a 13-story skyscraper. The duel: Yugi and Kaiba vs. the Rare Hunters in a tag-team match! But even if Yugi escapes a deadly drop to his death, the worst is yet to come. His best friends, Mai and Jonouchi, have been possessed by Marik! Now, Yugi must fight Marik''s mind inside Jonouchi''s body. But the rules of this duel are...only the winner comes out alive! -- VIZ Media

Yugi fights Pandora, a duelist who uses one of Yugi''s own favorite cards, the Dark Magician! But can Yugi duel while chained in the path of a roaring buzzsaw?

His own deck has been infected with Haga''s parasitic insects! Is this the end? -- VIZ Media

Mai Kujaku! Dinosaur Ryuzaki! Esper Roba! The world''s greatest duelists are in town for the Battle City tournament...but a mysterious group is stalking the tournament to steal the most valuable cards! The Rare Hunters are more than thieves...they''re pawns of the mysterious Marik, a deadly duelist from Egypt who already possesses two of three most powerful cards in the world. And to defeat them, Yugi must find a way to beat Exodia, the world''s most unbeatable combo! -- VIZ Media

Trapped inside the Black Crown Game Store by his family''s sworn enemy, Yugi must win a game of "Dungeon Dice Monsters" or lose the Millennium Puzzle forever! Then, a mysterious Egyptian woman comes to Japan with a strange prophecy. Could the collectible card game "Duel Monsters" really be of ancient Egyptian origin? But Ishizu Ishtar has come to deliver more than information. "The God of the Obelisk" is one of the three most powerful cards in the world...and she''s giving it to Seto Kaiba! -- VIZ Media

Yugi''s beaten the champions of Duel Monsters...but now it''s time to meet the maker! In the final battle of the tournament, Yugi faces ultra-rich game designer Maximillion Pegasus with the soul of his grandfather at stake! As cards fly, Yugi and Pegasus turn to the darker side of their decks, unleashing sinister monsters of the netherworld. But Pegasus has the power of the mind-scanning Millennium Eye...and how can Yugi defeat an opponent who knows exactly what he''s going to do? -- VIZ Media

It''s the final rounds before the fight with Pegasus, and only one of four will survive! Mai Shiranui has always wanted to fight Yugi, and now she''s got her chance! Can Yugi beat her harpies'' pet dragon? Then, Jonouchi fights "Bandit" Keith Howard, America''s most unscrupulous gamer. Jonouchi''s deck is loaded with warrior monsters, but Keith''s machine deck deals death with six-guns and slot machines...American style! -- VIZ Media

Kaiba, the world''s second-greatest gamer, duels Pegasus! Are Kaiba''s dragons stronger than Pegasus''s rubbery, slapstick, fearsome toons? Awaiting their own turn to fight, Yugi and his friends explore Pegasus''s castle. But they''re not alone. Bandit Keith, the unscrupulous American card shark, prowls the dark castle with his own evil plans. And Mai Shiranui, both friend and foe, has also made it to the final rounds! -- VIZ Media

Can Yugi and Jonouchi escape the subterranean maze of the Labyrinth Brothers, or will they be buried with their cards? Maybe they''d be safer underground, because Kaiba, the world''s former greatest gamer, is back! On the towers of Pegasus Castle, Yugi and Kaiba fight their third Duel Monsters battle, with everything at stake. But this time, Kaiba is fighting for more than his own pride; he''s fighting to save his brother. And there''s nothing more dangerous than a gamer with nothing left to lose... -- VIZ Media

The diabolical Player Killer, a collectible-card-gaming assassin, challenges Yugi to a duel! In the shadow of the "Castle of Dark Illusions" card, an army of lurking monsters hungers to steal Yugi''s life points...and, if he loses, his actual life! But across the ocean in Japan, an even greater gaming force has been awakened. Kaiba, Yugi''s number one rival, is back. Back to reclaim his fortune...back to get revenge on Pegasus...and back to make sure that this time when he fights Yugi, he wins! -- VIZ Media

The action moves underground as the tournament continues! Bandit Keith, the cutthroat American gamer, drags Jonouchi into the corpse-filled catacombs for a match with "Ghost" Kozuka, master of the undead. Trapped in the tunnels beneath Duelist Kingdom, Yugi and Jonouchi must conquer the maze of the Meikyû Brothers in a two-on-two duel. It''s monster vs. monster in the endless maze of tiny passages...and waiting in the Meikyû Brothers'' decks is the Gate Guardian, lord of the underworld, one of the most powerful monsters of all! -- VIZ Media

When Yugi and his friends joined a "Monster World" role-playing game campaign, they didn''t realize just how much time the game would take--like maybe the rest of their lives! Ryo Bakura, their game master, wants to use the power of his Millennium Ring to seal the souls of Yugi, Jonouchi, Anzu and Honda inside his "Monster World" miniatures forever. Now, with 10-sided dice in hand, Yugi and Dark Yugi must hack and slash their way through Bakura''s adventure and defeat the Dark Master Zorc...or die trying! -- VIZ Media

Yugi, Jonouchi and Anzu have made it to the end of Kaiba''s "Death-T" the theme park of death designed to kill anyone who enters! Now, standing between them and escape are the two Kaiba brothers, heirs of the biggest game empire in Japan! Insanely determined to beat Yugi, Seto Kaiba has spent years and millions of dollars building the greatest "Duel Monsters" deck ever, with three of the rarest cards on Earth--the legendary "Blue-Eyes White Dragon"! Armed with his grandfather''s hand-me-down deck, Yugi fights for his grandfather... for his friends... and most of all, for REVENGE! But will faith, and good card-playing, be enough? -- VIZ Media

Kaiba''s back and this time it''s personal! When Yugi beat his classmate at a simple game of the collectible card game "Duel Monsters," he didn''t realize that Kaiba was Japan''s #1 gamer, the impossibly rich heir to the Kaiba Corporation, and a madman who would stop at nothing to get revenge! Now, a simple sleepover turns into a struggle for survival as Yugi, and his friends, must survive Kaiba''s "Death-T" a THEME PARK of DEATH designed just to send Yugi to an early grave! Using virtual reality to simulate Yugi''s own magic powers, Kaiba gives Yugi''s grandfather a heart attack, forcing Yugi to undergo "Death-T" with a "Duel Monsters" rematch as the final goal! And Kaiba''s little brother, Mokuba, has a score to settle too! With the life of Yugi''s grandfather on the line, our heroes must survive lasers, guillotines, and chainsaw-wielding maniacs! Can Yugi''s gaming powers save him now? -- VIZ Media

Out of the sands of Egypt, the mystic Shadi has come to test Yugi''s powers... because there can be only one King of Games.

Then, Yugi''s classmate Hanasaki takes his infatuation with superheroes too far; Yugi and his friends discover the hidden characters in digital keychain pets; and Yugi meets Mokuba, Kaiba''s brother, for a high-stakes game of "Capsule Monster Chess!" -- VIZ Media

Sitting by himself in the back of the class, 10th-grader Yugi always had his head in some game--until he solved the Millennium Puzzle, an Egyptian artifact containing a powerful spirit from the age of the pharoahs!
