Of course, that's only half of the franchise. The Shadow Games may be gone, but Duel Monsters still has a knack for channeling supernatural or scientific forces beyond comprehension. Yugi's story was eventually completed, but the franchise continued in Spin Offs with new spiky-haired protagonists. Headed by NAS and Konami, and adapted into English by 4Kids Entertainment, this anime series multiplied the card game aspect by ten and its success gave the franchise immense popularity worldwide. A second anime adaptation, originally titled ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters" in Japan, launched in 2000. In 1998, it received an anime adaptation by Toei, which ended after 27 episodes and a 30-minute movie. From then on, Yugi and his friends find themselves fighting for their lives in their search to uncover the Pharaoh's name and memories. Yugi and his friends discover that his alternate personality was the spirit of a Pharaoh from those times, who had forgotten his memories. Slowly, the game used as an important plot device turned towards the trading card game Duel Monsters, eventually revealed to be loosely based on an ancient Egyptian Shadow Game played by the previous owners of the Millennium Items. The puzzle, an artifact from ancient Egypt, grants Yugi a mysterious alter ego, an ancient gambler who spends much of the early series facing evildoers who threaten his friends in "Shadow Games," where mystic forces punish the wicked if they lose. The original manga series, written and illustrated by Kazuki Takahashi and serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 1996 to 2004, tells the story of Yugi Mutou, a put-upon teenager who is pulled into a world of intrigue and high-stakes gaming after solving the mysterious and ancient Millennium Puzzle. Yu-Gi-Oh! ( Japanese for "King of Games") is a multimedia franchise that includes multiple Anime and Manga series, a Collectible Card Game, a line of Video Games, and more.
