In " Final Deathstination", he showed his true uncaring side by attempting to kill Ryou Bakura with Slifer the Executive Producer (much to Odion's, who was impersonating Marik, surprise).
He also states in "The Evolution of Abridging" that his full name is Yami Victor Yugi, and also says that he hates his mother for naming him this and ruining the alliteration.
LittleKuriboh still uses the name Dan Green in a couple of short videos using a stuffed doll of Yami.
In the Fake series end, he states his real name to be Dan Green (Yugi and Yami's voice actor in the actual series). Despite coming from ancient Egypt, Yami occasionally references modern-day celebrities and movies, such as Lady Gaga (when he lived in ancient Egypt) and Star Wars.Ī common running gag is that, regardless of being the main duelist of the series, he sees Duel Monsters as a card game that shouldn't be taken so seriously and also mocks the strange plays he made during Duelist Kingdom, claiming to cheat.Īlthough nobody knows his real name, everyone seems to instinctively know he's a Pharaoh from the start.
For example, Yami defeats Pegasus by summoning "Little Kuriboh impostors," taking advantage of Pegasus's weakness for "Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abriged Series." In Season 2, he immediately recognizes the Rare Hunter's strategy of summoning Exodia, but his reason is that "if I were a generic villain with no genuine backstory, that's what I'd be doing too." Against "Steve" Arkana, he more or less defeats Arkana by ruining every plot twist in movie history, though thankfully the vast majority of these spoilers are cut out for the benefit of the viewers. However, this intuition may have nothing to do with card games.
Similarly to the original series, Yami Yugi does seem to have an innate intuition on how to defeat opponents when playing card games. In " The Man Who Would Be Steve", Téa seems to arouse Yami when she's a brainwashed Steve ("Tea has been Steved! This is terrible, and yet strangely erotic"). However, after Téa admits to finding brainwashing people fun, Yami agrees, saying they have more in common than he thought. He did show his straight side by admitting he would have "Hit that" when he was near Dark Magician Girl.ĭespite Téa's feelings for him, he displays little interest in her (even calling her a whore on occasion). He has also defended his ambiguous sexuality in " Rocky VII" when he thought Pegasus was saying they have something in common by being pedophiles. The third time this line is said, Yami says "All of the homo". In "BBT The Abridged Movie" he and Yusei constantly exchange lines about "riding" which is implied to have a romantic meaning, to which Yusei says "no homo". In " Yami of Darkness", he asks to spend time in front of the mirror to apply makeup, to which Yugi responds that he is "such a slut". In " Cliffhanger", the episode with the Gay Clown, he says, "If you're a ghost, then I'm straight!". There are occasions where he is implied to be gay or bisexual. In Binary Sunseto, it is revealed that he owns Joey and Tristan, as Tristan tells Joey he "signed their lives away" in Season 1, while they were freaking out over a snake. He often uses Egyptian terms for surprised exclamations ("Holy Ra", "Sweet mother of Osiris!", "You son of a Sphinx!", "Holy Mumra!", "Tell it to Anubis!") He has been referred to as Atem, Yami, Nosferatu, Pharaoh, The Artist Formerly Known as Pharaoh, Yugi's Sexy Alter Ego, and Dan Green throughout the series. Like Yugi, he tends to be sarcastic and disbelieving of the plot lines of the episodes. Unlike his counterpart of the original series, who serves as the serious, wise, determined, and protective darker half of Yugi, Yami Yugi is a lot more obnoxious and careless in this series. He is based on Yami Yugi, the spirit of Pharaoh Atem locked inside the Millenium Puzzle.
