Yugi - the spirit of a boy who voluntarily sacrificed himself for the sake of his village several thousand years ago. at the time when the demons were strong, one of them attacked the Village of Yugi and the only way to stop him was to lock him in some object and put the soul of a person who voluntarily will endlessly restrain this demon on guard. Yugi agreed to this role for the sake of those close to him. he asked to sharpen him and the demon in his favorite wooden puzzle that no one else could assemble but him. later it was buried in an unknown place. it took so many years for the puzzle to be sorted out that both the demon and Yugi had time to fall asleep and forget who they were. later the puzzle was accidentally found in our time but could not be assembled because of what now it is gathering dust on a shelf in one small game store.
Atem is an ordinary boy from Egypt who recently lost his father. Due to the fact that he had no relatives in his home country, he had to move to Japan to his distant relative Kaiba Seto, who agreed to take custody of Atem. Atem was socially awkward even before his father’s death, but after his death and the move, things got worse. he hardly speaks or communicates with anyone, finding solace only in games. Seto is not happy with this state of affairs and he sends Atem to school so that at the same time he tightens up his Japanese language and does not sink into depression while sitting at home. Atem does not like school because it is a constant stress, he does not know how to communicate (and does not want to), does not know many aspects of Japanese culture, does not know many hieroglyphs, which is why many subjects are difficult for him. after another school day, he finds a small game store where he is asked to give him the most difficult game in which he could immerse himself for a long time. A dusty box with a puzzle is found on the shelves.
i find it amusing the fact that technically only malik has a real “shadow” as a dark personality of himself shaped by magic power while yugi and bakuru just hang out literally with other people living inside the puzzle and the ring :,DDD so I just wanted to have some fun and think about what Yugi’s real “yami” personality would look like
