Season 1 (2000-2001)[]
This season follows Yugi Mutou, a timid, kind-hearted boy, who embarks on a journey with his friends - Joey Wheeler, Tristan Taylor and Téa Gardener - to Duelist Kingdom, a tournament on the island of the same name, to free his grandfather from imprisonment by Maximillion Pegasus - the season's main antagonist. While on the journey, he begins to learn more about the Millennium items, including his own Millennium puzzle, in which contains a 5,000 year old spirit that takes over when he duels. Joey enters the contest with Yugi in order to obtain the prize money to pay for his sister's eye operation. At first an inexperienced duelist, he works his way up to the tournament's top tier with Yugi. It also tells the story of Seto Kaiba - a ruthless, skilled duelist and company owner - who was ranked as the top duelist until Yugi defeated him. Plagued by his defeat, his company's image suffers and his brother gets kidnapped, forcing him to travel to Duelist Kingdom to retrieve him from the same imprisonment Yugi's grandfather faces. The last ten episodes deal with the aftermath of Yugi's duel with Pegasus, featuring two episode sagas: "Legendary Heroes" and "Dungeon Dice Monsters".
