Yami Bakura

Yami Bakura's History

5,000 years ago (3,000 in the Japanese version), a shard of Zorc Necrophades' soul was sealed during the Millennium Ring's creation, which later acclimated Bandit King Bakura's soul to getting sealed within the Millennium Ring, resulting in the fusion between the two souls. This composite was reawakened in the present day when someone had acquired the Millennium Ring in Egypt and presented the artifact to Bakura Ryou. Unbeknownst to Bakura and his father, the Millennium Ring contained the malignant spirit that became known as Yami Bakura upon possessing Bakura. He lost many memories as Bandit King Bakura and Zorc Necrophades yet sought to obtain all seven Millennium Items so he could resurrect Zorc and reunite so he could be complete. Yami Bakura had murdered Shadi, the guardian of the Millennium Key and Millennium Scale.
