Dark Magician

Dark Magician

This is anime protagonist Yugi Mutou's signature card. In the manga and anime, Yugi often uses the Dark Magician against various foes, making it his signature monster card. When in a duel against a strong foe (Maximillion Pegasus), Yugi often 'evolves' Dark Magician to stronger forms using ritual and spell cards. The Magician of Black Chaos and Dark Magician of Chaos are examples of its more powerful forms, along with Sorcerer Of Dark Magic, Dark Sage and Dark Eradicator Warlock.

There is another Dark Magician-type monster called Dark Magician Girl, which Yugi starts using in the Battle City arc of the manga and anime. Whilst it is weaker than Dark Magician, it gains attack points for every Dark Magician in either Graveyard.

In the final arc of the manga and anime, a priest named Mahado served under Pharoah Atem, using the Millenium Ring. In a fatal battle against Bakura, he allows himself to be killed so his spirit can become the Dark Magician. His apprentice, Mana, later becomes Dark Magician Girl.

A Dark Sage named Torunka appears in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, albeit his age is reverted to that of a child due to a curse.
