Shadi (Yu-Gi-Oh!)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shadi (シャーディー Shādī?) is a fictional character from the manga Yu-Gi-Oh! and both Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series, the first series Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (internationally known as simply Yu-Gi-Oh!).
Shadi has guarded the tombs of Ancient Egypt for 3,000 years. Shadi possesses the Millennium Scale, which can weigh a person's sins against a feather, and the Millennium Key , which can reveal what is inside one's soul and control that person. He was killed by Dark Bakura (Yami Bakura in the English version) at least 5 years before the main action of the series takes place, meaning that Shadi is a ghost whenever the characters encounter him.
However, the above is conflicted in Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters, as during the time of Alexander the Great, he is forced to undergo a trial to prove he deserves the power of the Millennium Item he has been using (Millennium Ring , to be exact). The man who forces Alexander to undergo such a trial is Shadi as well, which would mean he was killed several millennia before the start of the manga/anime. Capsule Monsters is considered non-canonical as it is made by 4Kids.
Shadi guards the tomb where the Millennium Items are kept. Shadi forcefully "gave" the Millennium Eye to Maximillion Pegasus (Pegasus J. Crawford in the Japanese versions), and is apparently the leader of the Tomb Guardians. When Marik Ishtar killed his father, Shadi gave the message that the Pharaoh will return, causing Marik to believe the Pharaoh was responsible for his father's death. (Marik realizes the truth during the final battle - In the English anime, the father was sent to the Shadow Realm) Shadi helps Dark Yugi (Yami Yugi) during the Dark RPG, using the power of the Millennium Key to get Dark Yugi's friends into the Millennium World through Dark Yugi's memory, and then becoming Hassan to help Atem during his fight with Zorc Necrophades.
After the Dark RPG and the Ceremonial Duel, Atem returns to the afterlife, and the seven Millennium Items are destroyed. Shadi could finally rest in peace.
Shadi appears in Yu Gi Oh Forbidden Memories, firstly in the future to help Yugi talk to his ancient self and find a way to release him, then his ancestor, Sadin, appears as the gatekeeper of the Valley of the Kings after the player returns to Ancient Egypt.
In the English Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses video game, he is J. Shadi Morton.
Shadi is voiced by Kaneto Shiozawa in Toei's series, Nozomu Sasaki in the Japanese version of the second series, Wayne Grayson in the American English version of the second series, and Chuck Powers in the Singaporean English version of the second series.
