Game loving Mutou Yugi was given an ancient relic by his grandfather called the Sennen (Thousand-Year) Puzzle. He completed the puzzle and was possessed by the spirit of an ancient Pharoah. The Pharoah has no memories of who he is or how he got in the puzzle to begin with. The Pharoah looks out for Yugi and his friends and Yugi agrees to help the Pharoah recover his lost memory and help him be put to rest so that he can go on to the afterlife and finally leave Yugi's nody.
