He changes into an "invincible" gaming king, Yami Yugi. During this transformation Yugi will sometimes briefly grow a third eye in the middle of his forehead. Once the transformation is complete, he will play whichever game it is and beat the crap out of his opponent. He'll set up opponents, sometimes even while playing by their own rules, and he, of course, beats them at their own game. Since Yugi is weak in his normal state, he has some strong friends. Joey Wheeler, possibly his best friend, and Tristan Taylor. Yugi has a crush on Tea Gardner, but he's shy so he doesn't act upon his feelings.
