Get 80% On This Yu-Gi-Oh! Quiz Or Get Sent To The Shadow Realm

Everyone knows what's up when the Yu-Gi-Oh! theme song starts up and Yugi says, "It's time to d-d-d-d-d-duel!" This anime is one of the classics that always played on Saturday mornings. It was dark, riveting, and the hair on some of these characters were absolutely ridiculous. All the kids in the early 2000's bought packs of trading cards to "duel"--though nobody actually knew how to properly play because the game makes almost no sense.

As time went on, Yu-Gi-Oh! still continued forward, creating spinoff after spinoff. Most kids grew out of the show, either because they stopped enjoying dubbed anime about card games, or they just thought that there were too many episodes of this show to try and keep up. With all the new series, the game, the plot, and the hair definitely gets more extreme.

There are some master duelists who still keep in touch with the show and with the card game. It takes a lot of dedication to power through that much of anything, but there are devoted fans. This quiz, though, doesn't require anyone to reach the end of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series. This is about the classics, the Yu-Gi-Oh! that has a warm place in our hearts.

So what does it take to be the King of Games? Take this quiz to find out!

Question 1

What is his true name?

The protagonist of this show is Yugi Muto, but it's also the spirit of the Millennium Puzzle that switches places with Yugi while he's dueling. Totally not cheating, and nobody seems to ever notice that Yugi just got taller in an instant. Throughout the show, Yugi and his friends try to help piece together the spirit's lost memories. He was once a pharaoh who ruled Egypt 3,000 years ago, he knows that much, but other details like his name are still lost.

Question 2

Who created the Duel Monsters card game?

Duel Monsters is all the craze in this society. What was once just a fun, new card game has become so popular that decades past Duelist Kingdom and Battle City, people are going to school to play card games and are even able to get out of going to jail by winning a duel. That's just crazy. As we find out later, Duel Monsters cards are based off of Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs that the creator found on an expedition. Thousands of years ago, the Egyptians were playing their own version of Duel Monsters, for equally high stakes.

Question 3

What color is Seto Kaiba's hair in Season Zero?

We all know about the Duel Monsters version of Yu-Gi-Oh! but did you know that there was a season before card games were the main focus? Only hardcore Yu-Gi-Oh! fans know about it since it was never aired in North America. Since it wasn't ever aired here in the West, most people refer to it as "season zero" or "the forbidden season." While the rest of Yu-Gi-Oh! can be edited to be fit for kids, there was no possible way to do that for season zero. There may have been similar characters, but even their personalities are different. Season zero also has way less card games, like way less.

Question 4

How many defense points does the Dark Magician have?

The Dark Magician is one of the most powerful Duel Monster cards in the game (at least in the original run of Yu-Gi-Oh!) and is also Yugi's favorite card. This was back in simpler times, before things like Pendulum Summoning were a thing, and not every card has a super-cool special effect. At the original inception of the game, any card, no matter the attack points, could be summoned in a turn. Eventually to even the playing field, a card with an attack of 2500 like the Dark Magician would have to sacrifice two other monsters before being summoned.

Question 5

What animal does Tristan turn into in the virtual world?

Things weren't good for anyone when the gang were sent into Noah's virtual world, but it was especially bad for Tristan since he is not good at dueling like the rest of his friends are. We have seen him duel maybe, like, three times in a series of over 250 episodes, and in one of those instances, he loses and then has his body taken over by a crusty old guy, only for his soul to be put in an animal robot thing. Nobody knows that it's their friend Tristan inside that weird animal body.

Question 6

What is not an Egyptian God Card?

Based on powerful Ancient Egyptian monsters, the God Cards were recreated into the Duel Monsters game, but turned out to be too powerful for most duelists to be able to wield. Even though the cards are just some pieces of paper, the spirits of these monsters have taken over them. Only those who are strong enough can have the power and ability to use them in a duel. According to the prophecy, these cards are the only thing that can save the world from ruin.

Question 7

What card does Yugi give to Rebecca?

Just after Yugi wins the Duelist Kingdom tournament, he gets a sudden challenge by a young girl who seems to be out for some revenge, even though he has no idea who she is. She challenges him to a duel, and we find out that her grandfather was an old friend of Yugi's grandpa. She's bitter that he had a treasured card from her grandfather for all this time, thinking that Yugi's grandpa stole it, but it turns out not to be the case. In the end, Yugi gives her this card and she becomes another one of Yugi's friends.

Question 8

What card does Joey win from Espa Roba?

Battle City is the second big tournament the duel crew has to go through, and this time there are some new rules. First, duelists have to sacrifice monsters in order to summon higher-level monsters, which is fine. Second, the loser must give up their rarest card over to the winner. That makes the stakes way higher than Duelist Kingdom--forgetting the fact that lives were on the line during that tournament. Good thing for Joey is that he's winning the duels, even against the cheating "psychic" Espa Roba.

Question 9

How many Millennium Items are there?

The Millennium Items are very important in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! since it's in these items that the Pharaoh stored away all of the magic of the Shadow Games. Shadow Games are basically like dueling, but instead of just playing a card game, they would summon actual monsters to battle. That's obviously not very safe, so it was a good thing that the Pharaoh locked that magic away. Now, there are a good amount of people that are searching for these items, so they can regain all that power for themselves.

Question 10

What kind of deck does Mai Valentine use?

Mai Valentine is one of the world's best duelists, always making it to the finals alongside Yugi and Joey. We may never see her win many duels, but she is apparently good enough to be considered a pro. Even when she makes it to the finals, though, she loses pretty early on in the tournament--but that doesn't matter since it seems like she gets paid to duel during the off-season. To be such a good duelist, one must have a good deck, and hers does seem to pack a punch.

Question 11

What does Yugi use to win his duels?

There's no denying that Yugi Muto is the King of Games, but even for someone with as much skill as he does, is it possible to win every duel the way that he does? It's almost like he does pretty poorly until the end, when he draws the exact card that he needs to win the match. Sometimes, these cards are so specific to the plot of that episode that we will only see it that one time. Statistically, it's almost impossible to win the way that he does, but he keeps doing it.

Question 12

What card is needed to summon the Black Magician of Chaos?

When facing off against Pegasus, it seems as though Yugi's regular monsters weren't going to work to well. It was time for Yugi to pull the right card and summon this ritual monster, the Black Magician of Chaos to really put a stop to all of Pegasus's madness. This magician is in the same kind of family as the very well-known Dark Magician, but looks a lot more goth and has a headpiece that makes even less sense than the Dark Magician's. Since it's a ritual, it needs a special card to be able to summon it.

Question 13

What is Bakura's favorite card?

Remember that episode in season one when Bakura challenges Yugi to a seemingly harmless duel where all their friends put their favorite card in their decks while they're all in a forest in the middle of the night? But then it's not harmless at all and then Bakura turns evil and it becomes a Shadow Game, so that everyone's favorite cards, when played, summoned one of Yugi's friends on the field? Yeah, that episode was really weird, but we all learned which cards were everyone's favorites.

Question 14

What is Téa's original Japanese name?

Yu-Gi-Oh! like most other anime, was created in Japan, so the characters originally had Japanese names. When the show came over to North America, 4Kids Entertainment changed the names, and even edited out a lot of the violence in the show to try and market it for very young kids who are going to spend all of their birthday money on trading cards. They even localized it hard enough to try and call rice balls "donuts" as if anyone would think that a rice ball could possibly look like a donut.

Question 15

How many attack points does the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon have?

Kaiba is the guy that has all of the Blue Eyes in the world, after destroying the one Yugi's grandpa had, and with those three prized monsters, he's able to summon the Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon. It basically is a Blue Eyes, but with three heads and it's a lot more powerful and impressive than a regular Blue Eyes. Out of all the dragons that Kaiba has in his deck, this one is definitely the hardest one to defeat, since it's just got such a high attack.

Question 16

What card does Weevil sneak into Joey's deck before their Battle City duel?

Weevil Underwood is a sneaky little duelist--just by his name and look alone, most people don't want to trust him. He's supposedly a good duelist but he pretty much cheats any time he can, usually because he doesn't have a whole lot of skill to beat the top duelists without bending the rules. For example, his strategy to beating Yugi was to just throw all the Exodia cards into the ocean. To beat Joey a second time, Weevil knows he can't win unless he cheats, so he puts this card into his deck. Even with the advantage, he still loses.

Question 17

How many locator cards does a duelist need to reach the Battle City finals?

For the Battle City tournament, winning duels didn't only make you one of the best duelists, but it helped you obtain locator cards, which would disclose the location of the final round. Duelists had to offer up at least one locator card for each duel, and when a duelist no longer had any cards, they were disqualified. All of the locator cards stacked together would make a map of the entire city, and would point out the exact location of the finals on the map. Of course, nobody actually had to find all of them or the show would still be going on today.

Question 18

What is Joey's sister's name?

We learn early on in the series that Joey has a little sister who was separated from him when their parents divorced. She has some sort of disease that has slowly taken her eyesight. The reason he got into dueling in tournaments in the first place is to win the prize money so that he can fund a very expensive eye operation that will allow her to see once again. Then as soon as she can see, she's dragged into the crazy situations Joey and his friends always get themselves into.

Question 19

What Millennium Item does Marik possess?

The Millennium Items are a great source of power, since they all contain some of the magic of the ancient Shadow Games. They're kind of like horcruxes but nobody is supposed to actually destroy them. Marik Ishtar, whose family is destined to watch over the Pharaoh's tomb for all eternity, is obviously going to get one of those items. It's part of their job. Unfortunately, after living a terrible life underground, Marik develops an evil side within him and uses that item for a whole lot of bad stuff.

Question 20

Which duelist tempts Yugi to use the Seal of Orichalcos?

Yugi doesn't lose very often, but when he does lose, it's pretty bad. In this duel, Yugi's opponent is part of Dartz's crew, that try and take souls from other duelists using the Seal of Orichalcos. Yugi is so desperate to not lose this duel that he loses himself a bit and gives into a trap, and plays the cursed card. He thinks that it may give him the ability to win, but he's still doomed and the Seal of Orichalcos steals his soul. Fortunately there are two souls in Yugi's body but still, it's very sad.

Question 21

What is the fusion of Red Eyes Black Dragon and Summoned Skull?

When it comes to a tag team duel, working together is the key to winning. It's a good thing that Yugi and Joey are good friends that can work well with each other when facing the Paradox Brothers because they need all the help they can get. To defeat their Gate Guardian, there may not be anything in either of their decks to face this beast alone, but with two decks working together, they're able to fuse their monsters together to create an especially powerful new one.

Question 22

What is the name of Pegasus's lost lover?

After Yugi defeats Pegasus, they find a diary laying around his room, and they read a series of letters written by Pegasus to someone. Based on all the imagery that was shown while the passages were being read, it's assumed that she was his wife but fell ill suddenly and is no longer in the living world. While traveling through Egypt, he was given the power of the Millennium Eye and hoped that maybe these new powers could somehow bring her back.

Question 23

What game does Duke Devlin create?

Watch out, Duel Monsters, there's a new game in town! Except it's pretty much exactly like Duel Monsters though even more complicated (as if that's even possible!). Duke is mad that Yugi wiped the floor with Pegasus, saying that Yugi was cheating because there's no way that anyone could beat Pegasus. Since Pegasus isn't really around to fund his game, it took a lot longer for his game to take off--and it's kind of unfortunate for him because it doesn't really ever take off.

Question 24

What monster's spirit does Kisara carry?

In the last seasn of Yu-Gi-Oh! we find out that history was destined to repeat itself and that Yugi and Kaiba were ancient Egyptians reincarnated to save the world by playing Duel Monsters. When we get to see a little bit of the past, we meet a girl named Kisara who the ancient version of Seto Kaiba befriended. She tries to protect Seto but that leads her to her doom--her soul is sealed in a tablet, along with the spirit of a Shadow Monster.

Question 25

Who builds a Duel Monsters theme park?

As if the obsession over children's card games wasn't extreme enough, someone had to go and create a theme park dedicated to Duel Monsters. Duel Monsters is like this world's Disney--except that people don't incorporate Disney into an entire school curriculum, at least not yet. It's kind of ridiculous to think about but this is also the city that closed down their entire downtown area of actual businesses to throw a dueling tournament. Decades after that, people are dueling on motorcycles. It's crazy.

Question 26

What is the power of the Millennium Key?

All of the Millennium Items have a special power that the other items do not have. Shadi, a tombkeeper, was entrusted in guarding both the key and the scale. The scale doesn't really have a lot of screentime in the show until the end, but its power basically is a tool for judgment. If someone is truly evil, then the scale will tilt lower on one side, showing the weight of their sins. The key, on the other hand, was shown to have a pretty cool power.

Question 27

Who wrote Yu-Gi-Oh!?

Love it or hate it (but you probably love it since you're taking this quiz), you can't deny that Yu-Gi-Oh! is an impressive series. It has seven different series--not just seasons--and has been around since the late '90s. There aren't that many series that hang around this long, and most series also don't have a super popular card game associated with the show, either. What was supposed to be a short manga series turned into all of this. While the original creator may not be the sole contributor to the new stuff, he still supervises the manga creation process for the spinoffs.

Question 28

What technique did Yugi use to defeat Pegasus?

With his Millennium Eye, Pegasus is a dueling force that can't be reckoned with. He's able to see into another person's mind, which allows him to predict his opponent's every move before they're even able to make it. There's no way that Yugi was going to beat this guy and save his grandpa without using his Millennium Item as well. Especially when Pegasus brings the duel into the Shadow Realm, there's no way that he can win unless he uses his puzzle and the spirit within it.

Question 29

How does Mai Valentine pretend that she's psychic?

As a way to throw her opponents off, Mai pretends to have psychic powers that lets her know her hand without even having to see it first. Obviously, this is a ruse, but it's able to work until she faces Joey and he figures out her scam. Technically it isn't really cheating, since they're her own cards but it's still not a cool move and doesn't allow for a truly fair game. Once she gets discovered and she loses, she promises to duel honestly going forward.

Question 30

Which duelist did not have their mind controlled by Marik?

Due to the effect of Marik's Millennium Rod, he is able to control the minds of others. To try and get to Yugi and his puzzle, he controlled a whole ton of people in Domino City. He even created his own gang of mind-controlled servants called the Rare Hunters, who tormented the city in search of rare cards. By the time it got to the Battle City finals, it felt as though Marik had mind controlled about half the town, including some of Yugi's friends.
