Yu-Gi-Oh!



Yu-Gi-Oh! (Japanese for King of Games) is a long-running multimedia franchise that has spawned a lot of things, including a line of Collectible Card Game, Animanga series, Video Games, and a lot more.

The franchise started out as a manga by Kazuki Takahashi back in 1996 about the adventures of Yugi Muto, a game-loving high school student whose life has changed forever after he completed a mysterious ancient Egyptian artifact, the Millennium Puzzle. The story involves Yugi and his friends partaking in high-stake games as they unravel the mystery behind the artifact and as well as the dark secrets surrounding it. While focusing on multiple games at first, the story later focused mainly on the card game Duel Monsters and its ties to ancient Egypt.

While the original manga has ended long ago, the franchise proved to be popular enough to keep on going, even outside of the original continuity. Works in this franchise are:
