| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) | comment |
The first Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series (also misleadingly nicknamed Season 0) was a 27-episode adaptation of the manga series by Kazuki Takahashi, produced by Toei Animation in 1998. Toshiki Inoue serves as the coordinator for the series composition.Based on the first seven volumes of the manga, Toei's series loosely covers the events of Yugi completing the Millennium Puzzle up to the Monster World RPG arc. However, this series skips many chapters of the manga in favor of original scenarios and features a one-shot character from the manga, Miho Nosaka, as a main character. Many chapters were reworked to fit the length of an entire episode, and a number of the original games were either imported or replaced. It also borrows plot elements that aren't introduced until the Duelist Kingdom arc, such as the early introduction of Shizuka, Jonouchi's sister.Owing to its obscurity, the series was overshadowed by the second anime adaptation, known as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters in Japan, and its English localization by 4Kids Entertainment. As that anime series was done by a different studio and re-imagined some of the manga chapters that this anime also covered, Toei's anime series was never exported outside of Japan.Some of Toei's manga-to-anime alterations were carried over by Studio Gallop when producing the second series, such as calling the "Magic & Wizards" card game "Duel Monsters", and having Yami Yugi grow taller when he transforms. This series' incarnation of Seto Kaiba also inspired the Big Bad from the "Virtual World" filler arc, Noah Kaiba, whose outfit and green hair was a Shout-Out to this Kaiba's neon green hair and his outfit from the "Death-T" arc.Toei's anime spawned a 30-minute movie, a few video games and a card game by Bandai (the latter of which would be replaced as well by Konami's card game). | |

Canon Foreigner:* Three of Kaiba's Game Masters were created exclusively for this version of the anime, including Ridley Sheldon, Aileen Rao and Ryuichi Fuwa. Many other characters are also Toei-exclusive, such as the Kageyama sisters, the school nurse, and Kaoruko Himekoji. | |

Darker and Edgier: While it's not as dark as the manga, it's darker than the second anime in terms of Dark Yugi's Penalty Games. The virtual pet chapter is also darker than in the manga, with Kujirada's pet's role being taken by Haiyama, who treats other humans as pets and whips them when they disobey. | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Jonouchi is generally a tough fighter, so antagonists—usually in anime-original episodes—will beat him up to show how dangerous they are. Yugi loses or almost loses duels more often in this anime, with Dark Yugi (and Kaiba in one instance) defeating his opponent later. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: In the manga Ms. Chono was only interested in humiliation, but in the Toei series she's a sadistic control freak willing to go to extreme lengths to break Anzu's spirit just for questioning her authority. In the manga, Kujirada's mean behavior was a result of him being hounded by his virtual pet. In the anime, he becomes a bully after Haiyama pays him to take orders, enjoying the idea of Bribing Your Way to Victory. In the manga, Mr. Karita picks on Bakura having heard about his troublesome reputation. In the anime, he picks on Bakura as well as Yugi and co. just because he enjoys being mean to students. Seto Kaiba here is even worse than his manga counterpart. After tying a game with Yugi and not suffering a Penalty Game, he sends his Game Masters to kill or defeat Yugi and goes on to build Death-T for the purpose of killing Yugi and his friends. The flashbacks in episode 20 of him as a child further this, as nothing of what Gozaburo put him through from the manga is shown. While Daimon's tutelage in games could be taken as Kaiba going to the logical extreme to surpass everybody, it implies that Kaiba changed on his own rather than from suffering abuse. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: Some of the battles from the manga get stretched out to fill a thirty minute time slot. The tenth episode with Ms. Chono. In the manga her story takes place entirely in the classroom and solely involves her solving the puzzle Honda left for Miho. In the anime, the puzzle aspect leads to Anzu formally protesting Chono's extreme rules and starts a petition, which Chono then sabotages by using some older students to steal it for her. The shadow game aspect turns into Dark Yugi challenging her to a jigsaw puzzle contest involving mirrors and blindfolds. Seto Kaiba also makes more appearances than he does in the manga with an ongoing subplot to defeat Yugi through his Game Masters; it's only when they all fail that he decides to build Death-T and fight Yugi himself. The rules of Duel Monsters have been expanded, resembling those used in the Duelist Kingdom arc of the manga. | |

| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_2764d432 | comment |
Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: This plot point is used a lot, even in manga-adapted episodes where it didn't happen originally. Kaiba befriends Yugi over their common interest in Duel Monsters. But when Yugi's grandfather's refuses to trade/sell Kaiba his Blue-Eyes Dragon, Kaiba tricks Yugi into switching it with a fake. When Yugi calls out Kaiba on the switch, Kaiba loses the facade and whacks Yugi in the face with a briefcase. Haiyama acts timid and easily scared, but it's revealed he's an even worse bully than Kujirada and uses a whip to punish him. Ryuichi Fuwa acts personable around Yugi and his friends and uses his luck for their benefit initially, but he turns out to be a superstitious, cocky jerk who only cares about himself and winning. Risa Kageyama pretends to woo Yugi in order to get her hands on the rare Violet Hecate card he had. Aileen Rao befriends Yugi and Anzu and invites them to her apartment, where she hypnotizes Anzu and threatens her with a tiger to force Yugi to play a game with her. | |

His reaction to finding out the team that found the puzzle all died isn't exactly normal, and he says the game of darkness sounds cool. | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Yami Yugi isn't evil, but he's not a pure hero either. He does put his foot down when something doesn't sit right with him. Yami Yugi may have rigged his mind so that Shadi wouldn't find his true room, but he wasn't about to let the man die. When Mokuba is put through Kaiba's penalty game, Yami Yugi pulls him out before the illusions take full effect on his fragile mind. | |

Cryptic Background Reference | |

Cryptic Background Reference: Dark Bakura mentions how he and Dark Master Zorc (his Monster World character) are the same being. The story behind Thief King Bakura being fused with Zorc Necrophades to make the spirit of the ring is elaborated upon during the Millennium World arc of the manga, but this anime never got to that point so it's only seen as Bakura having synchronization with his game piece as the Game Master. | |

| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_3b99a9e0 | comment |
Reality Warper: A major difference between this and the manga/second series anime is that the Puzzle seems to give Dark Yugi reality-warping powers. In contrast to the manga where Dark Yugi challenges Ushio to a knife game on the spot, Dark Yugi in this anime transports Ushio to a tower, tied to a rope which appears out of nowhere. Dark Yugi also seems to make the playing cards stay in place on the wall. And in the watch thief episode, he transports them to a dimension of clock gears and in general can conjure up anything needed for his Shadow Games. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: Mokuba is more tame in comparison to his manga counterpart. He doesn't poison Joey or duel Yugi in Capsule Monsters with the threat to cut his fingers off beforehand, and carries no grudge against Yugi or his friends. In the water park chapter of the manga, Anzu pretends to be in danger all day to no avail, hears about the bomber's warning, and goes on the Ferris wheel deliberately to make Yami Yugi come out. In the anime she pretends to be in danger to no avail, goes to the Ferris wheel before the warning's put out to sulk over not seeing Yami Yugi, and is targeted by happenstance. At the start of the Death-T arc in the anime, Yugi's friends get together and promise to help him face the challenges as a team. In the manga only Jonouchi accompanied Yugi to face Death-T; Honda (plus his nephew) and Anzu happened to be at Kaibaland by coincidence and decided to help Yugi at the last minute. | |

The anime has her with the face of a wrinkled, ugly old crone instead. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: The Blue-Eyes White Dragon is called the Blue-Eyes Dragon in its first appearance, and in the movie the Red-Eyes Black Dragon is similarly called the Red-Eyes Dragon. Dark Yugi's eyes are purple and red in his first appearance when afterward they're usually just red. This series uses the manga's early explanation of how the Puzzle was found by a team of British archaeologists who all died mysteriously before passing the Puzzle to Yugi's grandpa, rather than Yugi's grandpa himself conquering a series of Shadow Games to find the Puzzle. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Kaiba and Yugi's first duel is changed into a draw, so neither side wins and he doesn't get a penalty game. Kaiba becomes so furious at the duel ending in a draw that he sends his Game Masters to kill/defeat Yugi and his friends, stalks Yugi to see if anyone else is trying to beat him in a duel first, and builds Death-T for the purpose of killing Yugi and his friends. In the movie, Shougo is too scared to go to Kaiba's tournament and Yugi also refuses, so Kaiba's goons beat them up and steal the Red-Eyes card and Puzzle. Shotaro Akaboshi beats a guy unconscious just for bumping into him while stating that if his watches had gotten damaged the man would be dead. | |

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_5663a595 | comment |
Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole: Instead of bullying Yugi like his manga/second series counterpart, Honda was trying to help Yugi get his puzzle box back. For some reason, Ushio beats him up along with Jonouchi, then again he WAS a massive jerkass who was doing things for his own benefit rather than any goodwill. In the manga, Yami Yugi's first duel with Kaiba ends with the latter losing and being subjected to the Experience of Death Penalty Game. In the anime, it was a draw, and Kaiba didn't get a Penalty Game, making it a mystery how he came up with the idea for Death-T (in the manga Yugi inspired him to recreate it as a form of revenge). Nothing of what Gozaburo put Kaiba through from the manga is shown aside from 'losing equals death' being the former's catchphrase, and he's even shown having fun as a child after being adopted. The only conclusion is that Kaiba changed on his own rather than from suffering abuse. In the Monster World arc, Jonouchi's first attack under the control of Dark Yugi chops away a piece of Zorc's body, which then spawns a dragon and a Beholder-like flying eye monster. The Zorc piece was changed in the anime from his entire left arm from the elbow down to a chunk of flesh from the arm, but the flying eye monster is still shaped as if it was Zorc's hand transformed. In the manga version of the Monster World arc, Bakura is clearly shown doing the spinning dice roll before Yugi does it too and reveals that it's a cheat to make critical rolls come out more easily. In the anime the whole sequence of everyone's soul being transferred into their miniatures was changed so that Bakura rolls only oncenote Manga version: Bakura rolls a critic and gets Anzu, Jonouchi rushes in and is punished for not waiting his turn, Honda fails to attack because he fails the courage roll against Zorc's fear aura and Bakura crits against him, then Yugi asks to be transferred into his miniature; in the anime Bakura's critic gets Miho, Honda is the one rushing in, Jonouchi selfdestructs himself by rolling a 99 and then both Yugi and Anzu ask the soul transfer and it's clearly shown making the dice fall down instead of making them spin, so Yugi's claim that Bakura did the cheat roll multiple times during the game comes out of nowhere. | |

In the manga, Kujirada's mean behavior was a result of him being hounded by his virtual pet. In the anime, he becomes a bully after Haiyama pays him to take orders, enjoying the idea of Bribing Your Way to Victory. | |

To emphasize this point, Kaiba is the only character to tie with Dark Yugi in a Shadow Game, something Shadi and Dark Bakura never accomplished, and other worthy opponents such as Aileen Rao or Daimon were working for Kaiba. | |

| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_660d1f3e | comment |
Amusement Park of Doom: Death-T is a theme park solely designed to kill Yugi and his friends. Though in this series, Kaiba presents it as more of a test to see if Yugi is truly worthy of dueling him rather than an outright deathtrap. Unlike the manga, Kaiba gives Yugi a reasonable chance of winning each challenge and at no point does the team require underhanded tactics to win. | |

Even though Karita was just seizing the opportunity to be mean, he was right that it was no mere coincidence and later on Yugi and friends do meet the same fate... for a while. | |

In the manga Miho was a shy, quiet librarian, while here she's an extroverted, shallow girly girl. Kaiba's butler Daimon was a sadistic torturer in the original manga, but here he is a kind yet loyal Parental Substitute for Kaiba as well as the final Game Master. | |

Adaptational Early Appearance | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_723606c4 | comment |
Adaptational Early Appearance: Ryou Bakura appears before Monster World, where he was introduced in the manga. Dark Bakura watches from afar during the Death-T arc, and once Kaiba is dealt with, he decides to make his move against Yugi. In the manga, Shizuka didn't appear until Duelist Kingdom, which this anime never got around to. Here, she appears in episode 16, where she's in the care of a negligent doctor. For an example related to the actual card game, we have Field Power Bonuses, where a monster gains additional Attack Points based on the field it's summoned on. In the manga, they were given a proper introduction in Duelist Kingdom and were completely absent for Yugi's duel against Joey, as well as both of Yami's duels against Kaiba. In this series, every duel utilizes this mechanic, complete with a dueling mat with a variety of different locations to summon monsters on. | |

Adaptational Badass | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_736d791f | comment |
Adaptational Badass: Mokuba got all the high scores in every arcade game, while Seto did in the manga. In the manga Jonouchi and Honda defeat the Death-T shooters, while in the anime they wound them both and lose because of Miho panicking. The generic Zombie card that Jonouchi had in his duel against Yugi is now in Honda's possession, and due to the existence of field bonuses, its placement in the field actually lets it defeat Jonouchi's monster (ironically, the Darkness Dragon (Blackland Fire Dragon) that Yugi beat him with in the manga). Jonouchi is just bound to lose this one, it seems. Yugi's Devil Dragon (Koumori Dragon) only appeared once in the manga, where it was captured and taken control of by Pegasus before being defeated by Black Magician. It gets a second appearance in Duel Monsters, against a mind-controlled Keith Howard, but it's still easily defeated. Here, it actually gets a brief moment to shine in the duel against Daimon, where it takes out three of his monsters in succession; while this worked in Daimon's favor due to making his Zombiemaster more powerful, it's still more than the canon Devil Dragon ever did. | |

Left Hanging: The anime ends after the Monster World arc and never got around to doing any other chapters, so among other things, Kaiba never wakes from his coma and we never see other Millennium Item users besides Yugi, Shadi, and Bakura. Individual episodes tend to end this way due to a rushed climax, such as the Kageyama sisters never getting punished since the episode ends right after Kaiba defeats them or Yami Yugi just leaving after explaining the Mind Crush to Mokuba. | |

Non-Serial Movie: Toei made a 30 minute movie after the cancellation of the anime. It features the same voice actors that appeared in this series and features the same songs, but the character designs are more accurate to the manga. The plot is contradictory to the Toei anime as well. Bakura and Mokuba aren't present, Kaiba only seems to remember Yugi tying him when he lost to him at Death-T and got Mind Crushed, Yugi and Kaiba use the first version of the Duel Disks, etc. It could take place before this anime's equivalent of Duelist Kingdom that never aired, because Jonouchi doesn't recognize the Red-Eyes Black Dragon (but is aware of Dark Yugi's presence) and Saruwatari is still working for Kaiba. | |

New Rules as the Plot Demands: In regards to Duel Monsters. Many cards and their effects were made for the anime, including a doll-themed dueling field, the Hecate Sisters and Gorgon, and the Evil Chains card from the movie. | |

Character Exaggeration | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_9002083e | comment |
Character Exaggeration: Since the anime was made before early character traits were downplayed, many of the characters' personalities are exaggerated compared to later on in the manga and the second-series anime. Jonouchi is much more focused on manly things and being a real man, which in the manga was only in early chapters. Yugi's childishness is more overt, especially when it comes to games, leading to annoyance from Anzu at times. Anzu in this series is a full-on Type B Tsundere. While Anzu in the manga could have quite a temper, it was never so frequent. | |

| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_a4414a05 | comment |
Adaptation Dye-Job: Kaiba is depicted with bright green hair and gold eyes, in contrast to his dark brown hair and blue eyes in the manga. It's subverted in the movie where he has brown hair and light blue eyes, which is closer to his usual appearance. The school uniforms for the girls are orange instead of pink, with green bows and skirts instead of blue. Bakura's hair is blue and he has green eyes (purple when Dark Bakura takes over), as opposed to his white hair and blue or purple eyes in the manga. Shadi's eyes are amber as opposed to the dull blue in the manga. Yugi's purple eye color changes to red whenever he's taken over by Dark Yugi. While the colored manga covers and pages aren't consistent with their eye colors, Yugi and Dark Yugi's eyes stayed the same regardless. Shizuka/Serenity's hair color was brown or blonde in the manga. In the anime, she has lavender hair. Anzu is depicted with auburn hair and brown eyes instead of brown hair and blue eyes. Averted with the Blue-Eyes White Dragon as it is true to its description (being white with blue eyes) whereas the second anime gave it a blueish tint most of the time. | |

"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_b77808f2 | comment |
"Where Are They Now?" Epilogue: During the credits of the movie, Shougo for the first time is shown having fun playing Duel Monsters with Yugi and friends, so much so that he even challenges the three guys that teased him earlier to a friendly duel. | |

Demoted to Extra: The Dark Magician only appears in the opening, in episode 3 as a card Kaiba steals but doesn't use, and briefly in the 30-minute movie. In the movie, aside from Jonouchi none of Yugi's friends have a big role or do much of anything. | |

Compressed Adaptation | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_bdc94cd9 | comment |
Compressed Adaptation: Only a handful of chapters from the first seven volumes of the manga were animated. In comparison, a lot more chapters from the manga were left out than there were animated, making the anime significantly shorter than the manga even if you don't count Volume 8 onwards. Death-T is shorter than in the manga, particularly level 2, and Yugi and Kaiba's duel at the end is trimmed down slightly. | |

Horrible Judge of Character: Yugi towards Kaiba. When Jonouchi and Honda confront Kaiba about stealing Yugi's card, he has his bodyguards beat them up. When Yugi arrives, Kaiba continues to bluff until Yugi reveals he knew Kaiba stole the card but was hoping he'd realize his mistake and return it. When Yugi begs him for the card back Kaiba finally shows what's Beneath the Mask. | |

Game of Nim | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_d2e9aba4 | comment |
Game of Nim: Dark Yugi challenges the school's Alpha Bitch Kaoruko Himekoji to misère nim. Instead of matchsticks, they use the flowers on the latter's person. As usual, Dark Yugi pulls a come-from-behind victory—while his opponent focuses entirely on the bouquet she was holding, she forgets she has an extra flower in her hair. As an added element of Hoist by His Own Petard, Yugi figures out that it's Kaourko who attacked and chloroformed his friend Miho; the rose petals he found near Miho fell from the exact same rose he pulled to win the game. | |

Adaptational Wimp | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_d500b978 | comment |
Adaptational Wimp: Honda went from a tough guy in the manga to a rules-posturing student council member. In the manga, Jonouchi did very well in fights and was instrumental in winning Death-T. In this anime, he was the only one injured during Death-T 1 and Miho saved the day, was beaten up by Kaiba's guards, Ryuichi Fuwa, the model Aileen Rao, and the Kageyama Sisters, and rolled a 99 in Monster World out of fear that he'd be turned into a figurine. Yugi is worse at gaming than in the manga, only beating Miho in Duel Monsters in episode 8, losing to a puppet of the school nurse and being mocked for his lack of strategy, and even Dark Yugi saying the one move he played in his duel with Ridley Sheldon was dumb. He's also on the losing end of a duel against the Kageyama Sisters in episode 15, though there he was sick and separated from the Puzzle. He also loses to Daimon in episode 20, and though the consequences aren't as drastic he's chided for playing too straightforwardly. As a Duel Monster example, the Darkness Dragon (Blackland Fire Dragon overseas) undergoes this. In the manga, Yugi uses it to beat Jonouchi's Zombie, a fight that it wins, and in the second anime, it outright wins the duel for Yugi. Here, it's used by Jonouchi to beat Honda, who now has the Zombie; in this case, the Zombie wins due to an added field bonus. In the manga's Monster World arc, to stop the spiked ceiling trap Yami Yugi's last roll was 33, the correct number. In the Toei anime he rolls 66 on his last turn when the correct number was 99, which would have ended with everyone dead if Miho's fairy merchant powers hadn't changed it to the right number. | |

While not as bad as Warashibe, Shotaro's fairly immature and asks for a do-over during his Shadow Game. He doesn't take losing a second time well. | |

Exact Words: During his Shadow Game with Kaoruko, Dark Yugi states whomever draws the last rose in her possession would lose the game. Just when Kaoruko thinks she has won with only one flower left in her bouquet, Dark Yugi plucks the rose embedded in her hair, as he never explicitly stated they could only draw from the bouquet. When Jonouchi confronts the "Impostor Dragon" man, the latter challenges him to a fight atop a steel pipe across a river where whoever falls first loses. When the man realizes Jonouchi is stronger than he thought, he pulls out a pair of nunchaku stating he never forbade the use of weapons. As such Jonouchi defeats the guy using his soda can as an Improvised Weapon. | |

Decomposite Character | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_f0508c08 | comment |
Decomposite Character: The role of Prisoner 777 from the manga is split up between two characters, Tetsuo Sasaki and Jiro the Jorogumo. Rather than Mokuba, Yugi's first Capumon opponent is changed to Warashibe. Yugi even defeats Warashibe using the same strategy he used against Mokuba in the manga. | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_f5a3e496 | comment |
Suspiciously Similar Substitute: In the movie, the card Evil Chains allows for the creation of Blue-Eyes White Dragon's 3-Body Connection, which is highly reminiscent of the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. The most likely reason for not featuring the latter was to put emphasis on Yugi defeating Kaiba through fusion summoning. | |

Complexity Addiction | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_f6b698ac | comment |
Complexity Addiction: It's implied Dark Yugi could easily use his powers to hurt antagonists directly (e.g. how Kaiba's guards end up beaten and unconscious in episode 3) but instead he prefers to let fate decide by challenging them to Shadow Games. | |

School Uniforms are the New Black | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_f74ccef4 | comment |
School Uniforms are the New Black: Besides Yugi constantly wearing his uniform, Kaiba also does, and his Death-T outfit is very similar to it. | |

The Power of Friendship | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_faece9aa | comment |
The Power of Friendship: A major recurring theme of the anime. As Yugi explains to Shadi "True strength does not come from oneself but from believing in one's friends." | |

| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_fc33ff16 | comment |
One-Winged Angel: During the Monster World game, after losing White Mage Bakura, Dark Master Zorc shifts into his more powerful form as a last resort. While this form is powerful, it's also when Zorc is at his most vulnerable. | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Ryou Bakura is a very sweet, shy, quiet, polite guy with a Superpowered Evil Side that he's only vaguely aware exists. Yugi is kind, trusting, and shy, until his psychotic side wakes up. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Yu-Gi-Oh! (first anime series) / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
Pet the Dog: Dark Yugi is normally brutal to his foes, but he takes the time to compliment Daimon's skill as a duelist and comforts him after Kaiba abandons him. He also compliments Aileen Rao on her strength. | |
