Transcript:

Ages ago, invaders threatened Egypt and Pharaoh Aknamkanon learned of an ancient spell that could save his land. He tasked his brother Aknadin to create seven Millennium Items, giving his high priests, the Sacred Guardians, the power to summon Duel Monsters. But Aknadin hadn't told the Pharaoh creating the Millennium Items required sacrificing the people of Kul Elna. To atone for his ignorant sin, the Pharaoh offered himself to the Gods, asking for the safety of his son, Atem.

But unknown to the Pharaoh, a boy survived the Kul Elna sacrifice. As the vengeful Bandit King Bakura, the boy used the Ba, or spirit energy of Kul Elna's victims, to create the Demon Ka, Diabound, and robbed Aknamkanon's tomb. He then fought the Sacred Guardians, claiming their Millennium Items, and opposed Atem. Using the items, Bakura offered his body to resurrect the Dark God Zorc Necrophades, but using a powerful spell, Atem sealed himself and Zorc in the Millennium Puzzle.

Fast forward to the 20th century. Archaeologist Solomon Muto survived the traps in Atem's tomb and discovered the Millennium Puzzle. Unable to solve it, he opened the Kame Game shop and his game-addict grandson Yugi found the Millennium Puzzle. After eight years of attempts, Yugi finally solved it only to become possessed by a serious, sadistic gaming spirit named Yami Yugi. Have fun!
