The story begins with an ancient Egyptian pharaoh who plays a game of great power called the Game of Shadows, which leads to a war. 5,000 years later, a boy named Yuki solves the Millennium Puzzle, which makes him the chosen one to save the world. The scene then shifts to Yugi Mutou, a young boy who loves playing the card game Duel Monsters. Yugi meets a rich and arrogant boy named Seto Kaiba, who claims to be the best player in the game. Kaiba challenges Yugi's grandfather, Solomon Mutou, to a duel and wins, taking the White Dragon card, which is very precious to Solomon. Yugi decides to challenge Kaiba to a duel to avenge his grandfather and prove that trust and friendship are more important than power. Despite being at a disadvantage, Yugi uses his grandfather's deck and his friends' encouragement to gain confidence and eventually win the duel by summoning the powerful Exodia card.
