The Yu-Gi-Oh! series was a Japanese manga turned anime that sees follows the story of a young boy named Yugi. Yugi loves dueling against friends and foes in a very intricate card game “Duel Monsters”. After he finds and solves the ancient Millennium Puzzle, he becomes host to a strange and powerful spirit. During his duels, he transforms into an older version of himself, when the spirit takes control. The two form a very close bond and friendship, going through many hardships together.
