Duel Monsters originally aired in Japan on TV Tokyo from April 2000 to September 2004, running for 224 episodes; A remastered version, highlighting certain duels, began airing in Japan in February 2015.{{Cite web |last=Pineda |first=Rafael Antonio |date=December 22, 2014 |title=2016 Yu-Gi-Oh!

Plot overview
{{main|List of Yu-Gi-Oh! episodes}}
=Season 1=
{{main|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (season 1)}}
The story follows Yugi Muto, a boy who completed an ancient Egyptian artifact known as the Millennium Puzzle, which led to him to inherit an alter-ego spirit. After defeating his rival, Seto Kaiba, in a game of Duel Monsters, Yugi is approached by Maximillion Pegasus, the creator of Duel Monsters, who uses the power of another Millennium Item, the Millennium Eye, to kidnap the soul of Yugi's grandfather. Joined by his friends Joey Wheeler (Katsuya Jonouchi), Tristan Taylor (Hiroto Honda), and Téa Gardner (Anzu Mazaki), Yugi enters Pegasus' Duelist Kingdom tournament in order to defeat Pegasus and free his grandfather's soul.
=Season 2=
{{main|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (season 2)}}
Yugi learns that the spirit dwelling within him is a nameless Pharaoh from ancient Egyptian times, who doesn't remember anything of his past. Yugi enters Kaiba's Battle City tournament in order to obtain the three Egyptian God cards needed to unveil the Pharaoh's past. Along the way, Yugi encounters more Millennium Item wielders, including Marik Ishtar, the wielder of the Millennium Rod, and his elder sister Izhizu Ishtar who possesses the prophesying Millennium Necklace.
=Season 3=
{{main|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (season 3)}}
The first twenty-four episodes of the season form an original story arc that sees Yugi and his friends get sucked into a virtual world run by Noah, the illegitimate stepbrother of Seto and Mokuba and son of Kaiba's adoptive father, Gozaburo. After returning to the real world, the finals of the Battle City tournament commence.
=Season 4=
{{main|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (season 4)}}
Produced during the time Millennium World was being written, in a new, original story arc, the Orichalcos drains the power from the Egyptian God cards and begins gathering souls in order to revive the ancient dragon monster serpent, Leviathan. Yugi, Joey and Kaiba are each given a legendary dragon card to fight the Orichalcos and its leader, Dartz.
=Season 5=
{{main|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (season 5)}}
The final season is equivalent to Millennium World in the manga. However, the first half focuses on anime-original story arcs released during the time the final chapters of the manga were being written.
After the Orichalcos has been eliminated, in another original story arc, Yugi and his friends battle in the KaibaCorp Grand Championship to face off another of Kaiba's rivals, Zigfried. Then, Yugi, his friends, and Solomon travel to Egypt only to be taken to the world of Capsule Monsters.
The latter half of the season sees Ryo Bakura, the owner of the Millennium Ring, overcome by the dark spirit within the Ring. When Yugi and his friends go to Egypt, they find themselves sucked 5,000 years into the past, where Pharaoh must battle Bakura and his evil essence, Zorc the Dark One. After returning to the present day, Yugi and Pharaoh duel each other in the ultimate test.

In April 2001, 4Kids Entertainment obtained the merchandising and television rights to the series.{{cite web|url=http://www.shareholder.com/4kids/news/20010419-37124.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010825134956fw_/http://www.shareholder.com/4kids/news/20010419-37124.htm|archive-date=August 25, 2001|title=4KIDS ENTERTAINMENT ACQUIRES RIGHTS TO YU-GI-OH!|publisher=4Kids Entertainment|date=April 19, 2001|accessdate=September 14, 2022}} In its adaptation, character names, settings, and other aspects were changed. The show's visuals and sound effects were replaced, and a new music score was used. In addition to explaining these changes, 4Kids' senior vice president of digital media, Mark Kirk, also explained during an interview with Anime News Network that U.S. television broadcast laws under the FCC dictated that the "Duel Monster" cards in the anime were not allowed to look exactly like the real cards that are sold; otherwise, the show would legally be considered a infomercial rather than an animated television series, and thus the cost to air it during daytime hours would become exponentially higher.{{cite web|first=Zac|last=Bertschy|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/anncast/2010-07-22|title=Kirk Up Your Ears|publisher=Anime News Network|access-date=September 27, 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101011144052/http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/anncast/2010-07-22|archive-date=October 11, 2010|url-status=live}}
