| Wallpaper Description: |
After being given the pieces of the ancient Egyptian artifact, the Millennium Puzzle by his grandfather, Yugi spent a long time attempting to solve the puzzle. When he eventually succeeded, he unknowingly undid a binding spell created by the ancient Egyptian pharaoh, Atem, who had sealed the magic of the Shadow Games in the Puzzle and the other Millennium Items thousands of years ago in order to stop the evil demon, Zorc Necrophades. The pharoah had bound the spell with his own name, and sealed his own soul within the puzzle; when Yugi solved the puzzle, both the magic of the Shadow Games and Atem's soul were released, and Yugi's body became host to the spirit of Atem.
At first, Yugi has no awareness of the presence of this second personality within himself, which emerges in times of stress, takes control of his body, and punishes evildoers that threaten Yugi and his friends, leaving Yugi himself with no memory of events. At the time, this personality - the true nature of which had not yet been divulged to either the characters in the story - is referred to in Japan as Yami no Yūgi (Dark Yugi), in reference to the particularly sinister mannerisms of the pharaoh at the time, and the vicious punishments he meted out. With the introduction of the Duel Monsters card game as the main fixture of the Yu-Gi-Oh! storyline, the \"Dark Yugi\" moniker no longer seemed appropriate, as the character mellowed, and ceased to be the sinister, vengeful figure of earlier installments. Now, he would emerge from the Millennium Puzzle to take control of Yugi's body for the purposes of dueling others in the card game; rather than entirely supplanting Yugi's personality, as he had before, there was a degree of interplay between the two, with Yugi aware of his surroundings and the events of the duel, but unaware of the presence of the pharaoh guiding his hand.
After a contest with Bakura in which Yugi's soul was removed from his body, he and his friends came to properly understand that an additional soul existed within Yugi's body when the pharaoh's soul, left in the body alone, took control of it and bested Bakura in their contest. This led to \"Dark Yugi\" being referred to as \"the other Yugi\" (mou hitori no Yūgi) by Yugi's friends, and as \"the other me\" or \"my other self\" (mou hitori no boku) by Yugi himself. When it was properly revealed that \"Dark Yugi\" was the spirit of the pharaoh, he became known as the nameless pharaoh (namonaki pharaoh), as his true name was unknown even to him. Additionally, the pharaoh is variously known as Yami Yugi and Yu-Gi-Oh, after the title of the series, literally meaning \"King of Games\". For unknown reasons, the English language translation of the series briefly named the character Yami for a short time (perhaps to justify the \"Yami Yugi\" moniker without having to involve the Japanese language in the explanation), but this was eventually dropped, and characters began to refer to Atem simply as \"Pharaoh.\"
When the pharoah takes control of Yugi's body, the artwork depicts a physical alteration to the character, who becomes leaner and taller, gains additional streaks of yellow in his hair, and has differently-shaped eyes. Whether or not such a tranformation actually occurs within the fictional \"world\" of the series, however, is unclear, as no characters ever remark on it.
