Dark Magician

I am "Dark Magician" Kestrel, 14 years old (born on March 28, 1992), from Forks of Salmon, California. I play Nintendo DS games. Finally, I really like manga and anime.

Used mostly by Yugi Mutou (although another duelist also used it),[9] the Dark Magician is a rival to the Blue-Eyes, mostly due to the bitter rivalry between their owners. The Dark Magician, while possessing less raw attack power compared to the Blue-Eyes, has many alternate forms with greater power and special abilities that allow Yugi to use and reuse him in countless ways to trump Kaiba's dragon. Notable alternate forms include the Magician of Black Chaos and Dark Paladin, which Yugi uses to defeat Kaiba in their final duel during Battle City.

Additionally, the Dark Magician has a large library of specific spell and trap cards that can augment its power. Several of these are general to the Spellcaster class of monsters, like Magical Dimension and Diffusion-Wave Motion. Others, such as Thousand Knives and Dark Magic Attack, are specific to the card type.

In the final season of the anime, the card is revealed to be the embodiment of Mahad, the Pharaoh's childhood friend and guardian. When Bakura attacked Mahad, Mahad sacrificed himself to merge with Illusion Magician, the fusion forming the Dark Magician. In doing so, Mahad vowed to protect the Pharaoh for eternity, a vow that he continues to serve to the Pharaoh's reincarnation, Yugi.
