Yugi has to learn fast when he and his friends arrive on Pegasus's island, where the rules of the deadly duels are unlikely any Yugi has seen before.

Joey undergoes his first duel on the island against Mai Valentine, a professional duelist with an uncanny ability to predict the cards she will draw.

The hungry friends help themselves to some fish, only to discover that they have been lured into a trap by Mako Tsunami, the master of the Sea Deck/.

If Yugi is eliminated from the tournament, Kaiba Corporation's crooked Board of Directors will transfer control of the company from Kaiba to Pegasus!

Yugi must duel a magical doppelganger of Kaiba, created from the greed and power lust Yugi wiped from Kaiba's soul.

Joey decides to battle Rex Raptor without his friends' help to prove that he is man enough to take care of Serenity on his own.

Yugi's classmate Bakura, possessed by his Millennium Ring's dark powers, traps Yugi and his friends in a Shadow Game where they become the cards themselves!

Pegasus's hired duelist Panik cheats Mai of all her star chips, and Yugi vows to defeat him and win them back. But when Panik's Castle of Dark Illusions enshrouds his monsters in a black mist, how can Yugi defeat an enemy he cannot see?

Joey's last ditch effort, his lucky Time Wizard card, fails against Bandit Keith's zombie monsters. But as his lucky streak comes to an end, will his improving skills as a duelist and his love for his sister inspire him to victory?

Trapped in the labyrinth cave, Yugi and friends find an alternate exit, but the door is guarded by Pegasus's Paradox Brothers. Yugi and Joey will no longer be battling solo.

Yugi and Joey pool their strengths and manage to fend off their opponents' monsters, but things are about to change as the Paradox Brothers summon the almighty Gate Guardian, a monster that reflects all attacks.

Yugi and Joey each unleash their strongest monster, the Summoned Skull and the Red Eyes Black Dragon, but their strength pales in comparison to the tremendous power of the Gate Guardian.

With his pride in his strength as a duelist on the line, Joey challenges Yugi for the right to face Pegasus. In a battle between friends, a fierce match ensues between the two people who know each other's strategies and cards as they struggle to keep their thoughts of past loyalties at the back of their minds.

Yugi is shocked as Joey uses the Time Wizard card on him. It's the very same card Yugi gave Joey as a sign of friendship! However, as the two battle each other valiantly and one comes out the victor, they find confirmation of the strength of their friendship that surpasses any duel.

Yugi crumples in exhaustion under the crippling power of the Shadow Game. His friends yell desperate encouragement, but their voices cannot penetrate the sphere of darkness. Yugi's chance at victory is slipping away, as is his life!

Pegasus summons Relinquished, a fearsome monster that can consume Yugi's Duel Monsters! Yugi counters with... Kuriboh? The smallest, weakest creature in the game? Has Yugi given up, or does he have one last strategy to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat? The Shadow Game comes to a close!

A new student, Duke Devlin, defeats Joey in a game of Duel Monsters, forcing Joey to become his servant. Duke orders Joey to wear a dog costume and humiliates him in public, leading Yugi to challenge Duke to a duel. However, this will not be a Duel Monsters duel but a new game named Dungeon Dice Monsters.

In exchange for Joey's freedom, Yugi agrees to give up Duel Monsters forever if he loses. Unfamiliar with the rules, Yugi gets off to a rough start. His chances do not improve as Duke reveals that he designed Dungeon Dice Monters with Pegasus's aid! Can Yugi learn the new complex rules, much less form a strategy, before he is soundly defeated?

Yugi uses his innate gaming skills to turn the tables on Duke, but Duke has one more rule to mention - All creatures take up territory on the grid-like board. With no room to summon any new monsters, Yugi's position is helpless!

After Duke's all-powerful Orgoth the Relentless dices Yugi's entire cadre of monsters into shreds, Yugi only has one turn left before he loses all his heart points! Yugi's last hope rests in one final dice roll in the thrilling conclusion to Dungeon Dice Monters!
