Yu-Gi-Oh is a Japanese media franchise created by Kazuki Takahashi that primarily revolves around a trading card game and an animated television series. The franchise began with a manga serialized in “Weekly Shōnen Jump” starting in 1996, which follows the story of Yugi Mutou, a young boy who solves an ancient Egyptian puzzle and becomes the host for a powerful spirit. This spirit, known as the Pharaoh, helps Yugi in various battles and competitions, particularly through a strategic card game called Duel Monsters.
At its core, Yu-Gi-Oh emphasizes themes of friendship, competition, and the strategical aspects of card dueling. Players use decks of cards featuring creatures, spells, and traps in a turn-based format to defeat opponents. The franchise has expanded over the years to include multiple anime series, manga spin-offs, movies, video games, and merchandise. The trading card game itself has developed a competitive scene worldwide, with tournaments and championships held regularly. Yu-Gi-Oh has gained a substantial fanbase, making it one of the most popular and enduring gaming franchises in the world.
