In Domino City, the card game Duel Monsters has surged in popularity. Two Duelists face off, each using the monster cards in their decks to reduce the opponent’s Life Points. Beginning with 2,000 Life Points, the first Duelist to deplete theirs loses the duel. One day, the timid Shougo Aoyama purchases a deck that contains the legendary Red Eyes Black Dragon, a card rumored to bring victory to brave fighters. News of the card in Shougo’s possession spreads, eventually catching the eye of the competitive Duelist Seto Kaiba. Driven to acquire the strongest cards at any cost, Kaiba invites Shougo and his rival Yuugi Mutou to a Duel Monsters tournament. Will Shougo overcome his fear of losing?
