Yu-Gi-Oh! is one of the leading franchises in the trading card game market, however, the manga author Kazuki Takahashi initially had in mind a different development of the story of Yugi and the characteristic elements of the work, which was partially expressed in the course of the so-called Season 0.
Some long-time fans will recall that the original story was only partially connected to the card game, called Magic & Wizards in the manga in which he only appeared in 6 chapters out of 59, leaving room for many other ideas that Takahashi wanted to develop. From stories that focused on other games, to devices that let you simulate specific situations, to combat involving yo-yos, it had little to do with the Duel Monsters’ creatures.

In the 36th volume of the manga, the same author explained that he initially thought of structuring the work as a series horror storiesvery much in the style of the first episodes, which can be considered self-contained, another key difference from the real first season of the anime.
The changes that were made later came mainly from the reactions of the readers, many of them They called Shonen Jump to find out the rules of the card game that appeared in the mangaand that convinced Takahashi to keep adding more details while changing the narrative style, and given the success it’s achieved, it was probably the right decision.
