'''''Yu-Gi-Oh!''''' is a 1998 Japanese [[anime]] [[television series]] produced by [[Toei Animation]], based on the [[manga]] series [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|of the same name]] written and illustrated by [[Kazuki Takahashi]].

| ShortSummary    = A shy and meek young boy named [[Yugi Mutou]] is a student at Domino City High School, who is bullied by his classmate [[Katsuya Jonouchi]]. The hall monitor, Tetsu Ushio, forcibly becomes Yugi's bodyguard, beating up Jonouchi and [[Hiroto Honda]], and then says that Yugi owes him money. Ushio later beats up Yugi for failing to pay up, but Jonouchi and Honda try to intervene, only to be beaten up as well. One day, Yugi solves the Millennium Puzzle after working on it for eight years, heralding the return of the Dark Games. In the process, he unknowingly changes his own life forever by releasing a dark alter-ego named "Yami Yugi", who challenges Ushio to a Dark Game. Ushio loses after a failed attempt to cheat, and Yami Yugi inflicts a Penalty Game upon him, which results in Ushio being subjected to an illusion where he's eaten alive by monsters. Afterwards, Yugi, Honda and Jonouchu become lifelong friends, with Yugi's childhood friend, [[Anzu Mazaki]], and Honda's crush, [[Miho Nosaka]], also joining the group.

| ShortSummary    = A criminal escapes from jail, disguises himself and gets a job at the restaurant Burger World. When his true identity is exposed, he holds the restaurant and the people inside hostage, including Yugi, Honda, Jonouchi and Miho, while also taking Anzu as his prisoner. When the criminal slaps Anzu for trying to warn Yugi, Yami Yugi emerges and wastes no time in challenging the criminal to a Dark Game with Anzu's life at stake. The game this time is that the two contestants are allowed to choose one finger to use. As soon as the game begins, they can do whatever they wish with it, the criminal chooses his trigger finger to fire his revolver, but is outsmarted when Yami Yugi uses his thumb to ignite a lighter, which he then puts on the criminal's hand, so that if he tries to fire, the lighter will cause the Russian vodka he is about to consume to go up in flames. However, the criminal decides to cheat and uses his other hand to remove the lighter before attempting to shoot Yami Yugi dead. As punishment, Yami Yugi subjects him to a Penalty Game, causing the criminal to hallucinate that he is being engulfed in flames. As a result, Anzu develops a crush on the man who saved her, unaware that it was Yugi's alter-ego.

Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox animanga/Header Template:Infobox animanga/Video Template:Infobox animanga/Footer Yu-Gi-Oh! is a 1998 Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation, based on the manga series of the same name written and illustrated by Kazuki Takahashi. It is the first animated adaptation of the manga and was directed by Hiroyuki Kakudō. Like the manga, this series is centered on Yugi Mutou, who becomes host to an ancient gambling spirit after solving the Millennium Puzzle. This series loosely adapts the first 59 chapters of the manga while adding several original events and characters; fans commonly refer to it as "Season 0" to distinguish it from the later Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters.[1]

The series was broadcast on TV Asahi from April 4, 1998 to October 10, 1998 and was followed by a theatrical short film released on March 6, 1999. The opening theme is Template:Nihongo by FIELD OF VIEW while the ending theme is Template:Nihongo by WANDS.

Reception

Timothy Donohoo of Comic Book Resources characterized the series as "noticeably darker" compared to other Yu-Gi-Oh! series.[1] Some stories from the original manga are expanded, while others were not covered in this series. Some violence was reduced compared to the original work. Compared to Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, the Duel Monsters card game is less of a focal point in this series, which was adapted from the earlier chapters.[1]

The Toei series has a different visual style than Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, as it was referenced from earlier manga volumes. Laura Thornton, also of CBR, described the art style as "extremely saturated and bright" although background imagery has a "notably muted palette with dull colors".[3] Seto Kaiba has green hair in this show, although the sequel film associated with this series uses brown hair for Kaiba.[3]
