THE GANG'S ALL HERE
Even the King of Games needs help sometimes - and in battling both his archrival, Seto Kaiba, and Anubis, his newest and most powerful foe, Yugi turns to his trusted friends for backup. "Despite all the magic and supernatural forces involved in the movie, the power of friendship proves to be stronger than anything else, and in the end, that bond will always prevail," says Pecoriello. "Only as friends are they able to come together and fight against evil."
Yugi's posse includes Joey, a streetwise gamer. Although he's impulsive and quick tempered, he has proven himself to be a loyal friend and an excellent duelist, often aiding Yugi in his battles.
One of Joey's oldest friends, Tristan is also one of Yugi's most vocal supporters. Although he and Joey often argue, Tristan is the first one to lend a hand when his friend needs help.
Tea, the only girl in Yugi's inner circle of friends, serves as the voice of reason for the boys, and a constant reminder of the importance of their friendship and the power it can have. Tea's support helps Yugi to believe in himself time and again.
Yugi owes much of his dueling success to his Grandpa Muto, who owns a game shop and taught him everything he knows about playing the card game. Grandpa is also credited with helping Yugi build his powerful deck of monster cards. A former Egyptologist, Grandpa discovered Yugi's Millennium Puzzle.
Every champion needs a challenger, and Yugi's is Seto Kaiba, an extremely wealthy high school student who serves as the CEO of his own multi-million dollar high-tech gaming corporation, KaibaCorp. A card gaming expert and former world champion, Kaiba is solely responsible for creating the state-of-the-art equipment used to enhance the game, including the patented holographic technology needed to make the monsters and magic seem real. Intensely driven and power-hungry, Kaiba is extremely jealous of Yugi's success in the gaming world and is determined to defeat him and reclaim his former glory.
Kaiba's spunky little brother Mokuba invariably finds a way to hang around the dueling action. Much more compassionate than his big brother, Mokuba often finds himself caught between his respect for Kaiba and his own conscience.
Thought to have disappeared after being defeated in the first season of the TV show, Maximillion Pegasus makes his triumphant return in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie. The original creator of the card game, Pegasus has been hiding out on his own private island, retired from the gaming world. That is, until now. But is Pegasus returning as friend or foe? The mystery is about to unfold, and fans can expect some long awaited questions to finally be answered.
