Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist, Vol. 12

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist, Vol. 12

In the second saga of the Yu-Gi-Oh! epic, Duel Monsters is the world's most popular collectible card game-but to Yugi, it's the most dangerous game of all! Entering the Duel Monsters world championship, Yugi fights ruthless opponents like game designer Maximillion Pegasus and teenage multimillionaire Kaiba Seto, hoping to discover the origin of the game...and his own powers! Contains the original storyline of the first season of Yu-Gi-Oh! , including scenes too startling for TV! Yugi fights Pandora, a duelist who uses one of Yugi's own favorite cards, the Dark Magician! But can Yugi duel while chained in the path of a roaring buzzsaw? Meanwhile, Jonouchi fights an old enemy, Insector Haga. For the sake of his sister, Jonouchi must fight an army of vicious bugs...and that's not all. His own deck has been infected with Haga's parasitic insects! Is this the end? Original Yu-Gi-Oh! creator Kazuki Takahashi first tried to break into the manga business in 1982, but success eluded him until Yu-Gi-Oh! debuted in the Japanese Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1996. Yu-Gi-Oh! 's themes of friendship and competition, together with Takahashi's weird and wonderful art, soon became enormously successful, spawning a real-world card game, video games, and six anime series (two Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! series, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal, and Yu-Gi-Oh ARC-V ).
