Terminology
Manga
Manga is Japanese for graphics novel, comics. We use the term
manga instead of comics for their Japanese counterpart because of
the noticeable difference.
Duel Disk
Duel Disk is a system developed by Kaiba Corps. Initially as a
means of defeating Pegasus, however, Kaiba plan failed. Nevertheless
a portable 3D holographic system is extremely useful. Later, Kaiba
re-designed it so that its user would not have to "throw"
the disk, instead, the user only has to place the cards into the
slots, and the hologram would show up immediately. This is known as
Duel Disk II and is required equipment of the Battle City
tournament.
Millennium Puzzle
The Millennium Puzzle is owned by Yugi Mutou, it's uses are that it
will
give the owner another personality to be smart, daring and the
ability to
win in games. The person who loses will get punished. The soul of an
ancient
Egyptian Pharaoh, who sacrificed his life to seal dark powers, is
sealed
also in the Millennium Puzzle.
Millennium Ring
The Millennium Ring is owned by Ryou Bakura, one of Yugi's main
enemy's(in a
period of time now a friend). The use of the Millennium Ring is to
give the
owner a second personality of evilness. It's power given to the
owner:
detecting other Millennium Items and also gaining their powers as
well. It
can also seal part, or entire souls within objects. Sealed inside
the
Millennium Ring is the soul of a Tomb-robber.
Millennium Anhk
The Millennium Anhk is owned by Shaadii, an Egyptian warrior who
punishes
people who raid any Egyptian Tombs and Temples. The uses of that
item can
see through a person's heart to see their personality etc.
Millennium Scale
The Millennium Scale is also owned by Shaadii, the use of that item
is to
judge people. If the owner asks a question, the person being asked
has to
answer the question honestly otherwise the Scale punishes the person
being
questioned.
Millennium Eye
The owner of The Millennium Eye is called Pegasus J. Crawford (Maximillion
Pegasus), an American who is a designer of magic and wizards card
game (Duel
Monsters in real life). The ability of that item is that it can see
through
a person's mind to see what they are thinking about. He was given
this while
on a trip to Egypt 7 years ago when peeking at a building guarding
the
"Pharaoh's Memory Slate", he only wanted to see his dead
girl friend again,
and got that wish when the Eye accepted him. When he lost to Yugi,
Ryou
Bakura took the Eye from him.
Millennium Tauk
The owner the The Millennium Tauk is called Isis Ishtar, the eldest
daughter
of the Ishtar Family. The Ishtar Family has been guarding the
Pharaoh's
Memory since ancient Egypt after an undead Pharaoh sacrificed his
life to
seal Dark Powers within 7 items. The use of the Tauk item is being
able to
see the future. However, the powers of other Millennium Items are
capable of
altering this future. (In one chapter of the manga, Isis was dueling
Kaiba,
her prediction was that Kaiba would lose, however, the Millennium
Rod
prevented Kaiba from losing by showing Kaiba some flashbacks).
Millennium Rod
The owner of The Millennium Rod is called Malik Ishtar, brother of
Isis and
the second child of the Ishtar Family. He claimed control of this
item when
he was 11, when his Father nearly killed his faithful servant and
friend -
Lisid. He has had a split personality since he was 10 when his back
was
engraved with the Pharaoh's Memory. His split personality came out
when
Lisid fell unconscious, he killed his Father with the Rod. The Rod
is also
capable of turning into a small knife. Shaadii told him that it was
all the
Pharaoh's fault, so he swore that he would use The Millennium Rod to
kill
the Pharaoh, who is roaming the lands searching for his memory.
