* \\\"Yugi\\\'s powerful alter ego in Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yami Yugi, is not actually evil, but he is a lot less concerned for the well-being of his enemies. Yami Bakura and Yami Marik, on the other hand, are both gleefully, psychotically evil. (Regular Marik isn\\\'t exactly a nice guy either.) In the manga, however, Yami IS evil, at least initially. Word Of God stated in a Shonen Jump Q&A that Yami Yugi actually WAS evil at first, due to a few millennia of his soul being imprisoned, but that his experiences with Yugi and his friends gradually helped him regain his sense of righteousness. (Quite likely, the turning point occured during the first encounter with Shadi.) The plot point was revisited in the second anime in the \\\"Waking the Dragons\\\" arc. After Yugi\\\'s soul gets imprisoned, leaving Yami in control 24/7, he starts to regress back to his original evil nature, without Yugi\\\'s kind nature there to temper his drive for vengeance. Which makes him a more vulnerable target to Dartz\\\'s machinations.
** Dark Yugi seemed more like he was giving evildoers poetic justice for messing with Yugi and his friends rather than doing it for his own evil delights in the initial chapters of the manga. And while he looked pretty scary while doing so, that doesn\\\'t mean he was evil. He\\\'s more of a superpowered evil side that isn\\\'t actually \\\"evil\\\". I\\\'d like to see this interview myself to see if this came directly from the author or the editors of the American Shonen Jump (Word of God matters more if it comes from the former). Also, his rage and desperate desire to win during the \\\"Waking the Dragons\\\" filler saga isn\\\'t anything like his calm and collected confidence in the original manga.
*** Let\\\'s see. Sets man on fire for real, sends explosive vial sliding across the makeshift air hockey table (which goes boom on the loser, and it may or may not have been real), inflicting post traumatic stress disorder on Kaiba by turning him into a card (and inspiring him to be much more evil)... Yeah, Yami was evil. The only thing that made it acceptable is because every victim very definitely had it coming. That, and every shadow game he ran was a fair test of character.
*** Dark Yugi had the intentions of keeping his other self, his family, and friends safe from harm though. If anything, he was sort of a Well-Intentioned Extremist, although his friends didn\\\'t seem to mind him dishing out Penalty Games to the assholes they faced. Would you call THEM evil? He stopped giving out Penalty Games on his own accord after hearing about the evil intelligence in the Millennium items. And unless Takahashi says it himself, no one should be claiming that the other Yugi was officially \\\"evil\\\". Viz has made many mistake while localizaing the manga, so we should take a Q&A from them with a grain of salt, not as Word of God.\\\"
This is discussion on the main page. Ideas for cleanup, and can anyone locate that interview or whatever it was?
(I won\\\'t argue originally Yami Yugi was quite \\\'\\\'nasty\\\'\\\', regardless of original intent. A lot of his effects were permanent.)
