Yu-Gi-Oh! This first version of the Yu-Gi-Oh Manga Series was produced by Toei Animation, and is based on Volumes 1-7 of the Yu-Gi-Oh Manga Series
Its animation quality was seen as shabby, had lots of needless filler episodes and was very unlike the original manga series in many fans opinions.[citation needed] For this reason, the Licence was then sold to NAS, who produced their interpretation known as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters. (Animated by TV Tokyo)

This second incarnation of the Yu-Gi-Oh manga series was produced by TV Tokyo based solely on Volumes 8-38. It has no relation to the earlier Toei Series Timeline (In order to prevent this common mistake, the series was Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters in Japan)
This decision to leave out earlier events left many plot holes in the series (Such as the main casts first encounters with Yugi, their game with Bakura and Yugi's encounter with Shadi) These were filled in by similarly themed episodes in later episodes and a series of flashbacks.
Two English-language dubs were produced, one by 4kids Entertainment, which saw a lot of footage cuts and name changes to be palatable for a younger age group. The second, produced for Singapore, was entirely uncut and used the same Americanized names as the U.S./Canada/UK version.

| Stranded following the events of the Orichalcos, the Kaibas extend to Joey and Yugi an invitation for the Kaiba Grand Championship (KC Grand Prix in Japan) in exchange for tickets back home. One of the attractions is a duel computer that allows novices to refine their duelling skills. However, an enigmatic hacker locks all the guests in and sets the difficulty to Maximum, leaving the amateur duelist Rick facing an immensely difficult task. Yugi duels instead, but he uses Rick's deck: full of Dragons and next-to-no Magic Cards! | ||||

01/21/2004 | 09/3/2005 | |
| Joey is being beaten by his former teacher Solomon Muto, who sacrifices most of his cards to Summon the legendary Ancient Dragon, a card he's been waiting to play for years. Slowly Joey begins a comeback, using Gilford the Lightning to destroy the Dragon, but it's futile as it immediately resurrects itself with Ancient City.

After a bad start, the facilities around KaibaLand go haywire, even putting the duelists themselves in danger; all Zigfried's work in an attempt to give Kaiba a 'hint'.

02/11/2004 | 09/17/2005 | |

Zigfried tries a different tack, using Nibelung's Ring and Goddess Urd's Verdict, Goddess Verdandi's Guidance and Goddess Skuld's Oracle to remove Jonouchi's best cards from play. Jonouchi only just manages to hold on, and is pushed even further by Zigfried's Valkyrie Brunnhilde and Rainbow Bridge Biforst to use Jonouchi's removed from play monsters against him. He risks it all on one last game of chance, but fails. | ||||

Leon is royally trouncing Rebecca but the latter refuses to give in, more so when Yugi finally arrives to cheer her on. Heartened, Rebecca Summons her Diamond Head Dragon and launches a brutal assault, but Leon ultimately triumphs with Thorn Princess. Leon will now face Zigfried in the finals. | ||||

Zigfried ups his play by reviving his Valkyrie and forcing both players to predict how many Magic Cards they think they'll play or take serious damage if they're incorrect. Seto uses a combo of Soul Release, Spell Reproduction and Dimension Fusion to Summon five Dragons at once and together they destroy Brunnhilde and win the duel. | ||||
| 196 | "Sinister Secrets (1)" "The Final Battle for Duel King - Yugi vs. Leon" (デュエルキング決定戦 遊戯ｖｓレオン) |

| Leon is stopped by Zigfried and is given a card to his deck for his battle against Yugi for the title of World Champion. Leon is unusually bitter about it, and oddly, considering his last duel, doesn't appear to be enjoying himself. He launches countless assaults, replacing destroyed monsters with more fairytale creatures and reveals he too is a von Schroder. Despite this, Kaiba refuses to call off the match. | ||||
| 197 | "Sinister Secrets (2)" "The Gold Castle of Stromberg" (シュトロームベルクの金の城) |
03/24/2004 | 10/8/2005 | |
| Leon reveals his motivation to duel, stemming from being ignored by his family in favour of the talented Zigfried. To distract himself, Leon became engrossed in fairy tales, and started dueling following the creation of a set of fairytale cards. He initially believed this was earning Zigfried's respect, but in reality his older brother saw him as little more than a tool for destroying KaibaCorp. Determined to earn his brother's love, Leon plays an illegal Field Spell: The Golden Castle of Stromberg, which infects KaibaCorp's systems with a powerful virus that rapidly deletes the files and can't be destroyed by card effects. | ||||
| 198 | "Sinister Secrets (3)" "KC Grand Prix Ends" (KCグランプリ終結) |
03/31/2004 | 10/8/2005 | |
| Yugi decides to help Leon get rid of the Golden Castle of Stromberg, but this proves to be challenging as not only is it unaffected by card effects, it forces all monsters to battle and discards half of Yugi's Deck each turn. This proves to be its undoing, however, as he's left with one card and so can't discard half of it, destroying the card. Leon fights valiantly but loses to Yugi's Dark Magician. Zigfried is furious with this, but Leon manages to calm him down, and forgives him. Yugi and his friends are finally able to go back to Japan. | ||||

The power of the Golden Chest of Sealing is it can negate the effects of another magic card that is stored in the chest. Yugi was finally able to defeat the "Dark Magician" with his "Silent Magician." Atem tries to activate the Spell card Monster Reborn so he can revive Slifer the Sky Dragon, but when Yugi opens the Golden Chest of Sealing to reveal the card he sealed, the card was "Monster Reborn". It means both of them can't use that card in this game. It is Yugi's message to another Yugi that "Those of the dead should not remain in the world of the living." | ||||
