Thread: List of Dead Yu-Gi-Oh! Characters

Ah, gotcha.

It's not really clear. We see him swallowed up by Leviathan at the end of the duel, then we see his crystallized body before we see him fused with Leviathan. Whether he did that or not is the question.

Hrm. So his death would be "Unexplained"? Or just say "He died when the Atlantis sunk back into the sea"?

That can work. Unexplained only comes into account if there's no way to explain it.

...Just realized we completely left out natural causes. Which is its own thing; I just don't know how often it would come up.

*nods*

Hm, illnesses?

Yes. You can also say, for example, that Yliaster was a responsible party for those who died in Zero Reverse, as they manipulated Rudger.

I see.

In the thing about Pegasus' cause of death in the manga, it was mentioned he had just come from losing a duel with Yugi. Bakura took advantage of his weakened state. That's a contributing factor. For Hell kaiser, his cause of death (cardian arrest) is a result of electrical shock/evil cards (really, NAS?), which is also a contributing factor; as would be the strain of the duel with Yubel.

Aha, I understand now. Thank you!

Maybe; but one could argue he had intent to do these things, thus meaning he died by his own hand - which is suicide.

*nods*

Yes, that too.

I see.

You're welcome.

What sad thread �___�

It has been confirmed by Takahashi in outside materials (e.g., interviews) or any other outside material.

In which interviews Takahashi talk about the death of some characters?

The Gospel of Truth has quotes for everyone who received a Penalty Game. Those who did not have anything to say were killed by their Penalty Games (e.g., Kanekura).

In the Gospel of Truth interview, Takahashi explained that Pegasus died after his role was finished. In the bunkoban afterwords, he mentioned that Pegasus atoned for his sins and lives with Cyndia in Heaven.

I understand ^^ Thank you ^^

But in the Gospel of Truth,Takahashi has confirmed others deaths?

No probs.

Pegasus is the only one whose death was brought up in interviews, I think. The Gospel of Truth's Penalty Game section confirms who were killed by Games of Darkness and who turned into a vegetable at most. The ones without quotes are Kanekura and Imori.

Also, I'm updating the manga deaths with the new template in the meantime. If anyone sees anything off, let me know. ^^

Thank you again ^^

So Imori and Kanekura should be alive? ^^

No. In this case, not having quotes means they are as dead as a doorknob. Kanekura was explicitly shown to be dead from his Penalty Game. So was Imori. The rest were just crippled or turned into vegetables. (Such as Prisoner 777, who had a quote for his Penalty Game despite being burned badly, meaning he's alive.)

The same is for Ghost too?

Ghost pretty much looked lifeless after his duel with Bakura. In the anime, Ghost and the other two guys he was with were dragged into the ground -- into Hell.

In the Gospel of Truth there is some info about this in the manga?

The Gospel of Truth was released sometime during the Battle City arc. The Penalty Games are covered in this Wiki article. Ghost's death isn't mentioned here, but it's kind of obvious he was killed. He was never seen again after the match with Dark Bakura, either.

I see...thank you for all your answers ^^

Yeah, it is a slightly morbid topic; but look on the bright side, death isn't permanent in the anime (in most cases).

Basically, he beat Malik to the Atoner's punch. By dying. Pegasus; he died for our sins.

So that's where they got then idea...

Who do you mean?

Some deaths were reversed during the franachise's run. For example, Pegasus. Bakura did away with him at the end of Duelist Kingdom, then it turned out that he had survived after all. Or take GX's Dimension World arc -- people appeared to have died, only to turn out that they were trapped in a separate dimension by Yubel. They all came back in the end (sans Amon and Ekou). Or in 5D's, the Dark Signers were stated to be dead, but they all came back to (normal) life... except the Godwin brothers.

@ DarkDust: Haha, Pegasus died for our sins, indeed. And he atoned for them!

Well, Godwin described that they would come back to life; but Demak appears screwed over by being a minor character. Everyone except him who has come back has been accounted for; we still have no idea where he is.

Hmm.. My knowledge is pretty much limited to 5D's, but I'll help out as best I can!

Will add more, is lazy atm D:

Thanks, you two! I will add them as I go along. Slowly.

In the meantime, I finally finished redoing the DM Manga characters with the improved template. I can't guarantee everything is 100% correct -- if anyone spots something off, let me know?

I still need in which chapters/episodes Malik's mother and father were shown to have died in, and in which episodes/chapters the people of Ancient Egypt died. Also, I can't say I'm entirely sure about Kisara's death, either. Can someone fill me on those? ^^;

I can't find the part of the manga with Malik's parents deaths, and I still need to get to reading the Pharaoh's Memory arc in the manga. On the other hand, I did see the anime version, but my memories of the arc are very faint, so yeah.

Oh and then the two crooks in both the anime and manga who fell to their deaths fighting Kisara.

There were two of Pegasus' suits that Dark Bakura killed with Man-Eater Bug in the anime.

I already mentioned him in the last page, but I thought I'd list it properly for the sake of consideration. ^^

And in some anime, it's treated as a power-up! *cough*Bleach*cough*

Just a quick note, Ary: I don't know how reliable Ccapac Apu is as an indication of Kiryu's mental state when he died, but the voice Kiryu heard (according to one set of subs, think they're TKNP's) addresses him as, "Thou who attempts at thy own life". That might nudge him towards suicide-by-self-starvation, as I'd initially considered. I'll be back with some actual deaths sooner or later. ^^

Really? Seriously, Kiryu needs antidepressants, badly. He tried to kill himself back then, and he tried again in Crashtown. Guys, put down the f-ing cards and get that Gun-Disc away from Kiryu...

I think I have to quibble a bit on whether or not Pearson's death was out and out "I want to kill you dead and make off with your awesome engine plans" murder or if it was simply a case of manslaughter due to the fact that Bolger didn't know the card he was waving around was capable of actually injuring people when he used it. He totally ran off and left his best friend to die in a fire, yes. But there is some heavy duty guilt there by the end and hints of it even before the duel with Crow starts that makes me wonder if he actually maliciously intended for any of it to happen. Um... I don't know. I'm (obviously) kind of stupidly obsessed with those two so I just desperately want to believe that Bolger didn't go out of his way to do it.

Eek, so behind with updating, I'm sorry. I'll try to resume updating this weekend. Though, Doma and GX are still on my to-watch list, so I might end up asking a few questions.

And thank you to everyone who contributed so far!

UPDATE:

I hunted down some of the episode/chapter information for the characters from the Pharaoh's Memory arc, but I'm still confused over few of them, due to not watching/having read the arc in question. On top of it, the manga scans I own are in Chinese, making them completely impractical in terms of understanding the story. >.>

• When does Kisara die in the manga? The manga only shows her rising (summoning the BEWD?), and in a later chapter, we only see Seto holding her body in his arms.
• I can't see exactly when Karim dies in the anime. Is it when the house he is in collapses, burying him? Before that? In the manga, how does he die exactly, apart from being attacked fatally by a monster that is a fusion of the Preists' Ka?
• When does Thief King Bakura die, exactly? Mako listed him as being killed by Atem, but doesn't he turn to sand later on? Or, him being killed by Atem is a temporary death?
• I have no idea about the nature of Aknadin's death at all. Can someone elaborate? Does he die when he transforms into the Dark Priest? He dies when the Blue-Eyes destroys him in Seto's mind?

I have added everyone who was written via the template in the first post. I'm still aware of the list Mako wrote, but my lack of knowledge makes it hard to write up some majority of them, urk. But I'll try.

From what I recall, Kisara's absolute death is the last time she lets the BEWD out to protect Seto. I believe. I was flipping through my copies of the Viz translation but apparently I have neglected to buy the last volume. (I have the chapters in the American Shonen Jump somewhere too, I just can't remember which issue it was) but I am pretty much 90% sure that the last time she let the dragon out is when she died. (because Aknadin was all trying to lure Seto into a state of "just kill her and take the dragon for yourself" and such) ....the 10% of doubt is due to the fact that it's been years since I've sat down and read these so I very well could be wrong. Uh... verification anyone? ^^;

1) Kisara dies in Chapter 330, she is killed by Aknadin. Seto said her to leave the palace. She is seen leaving behind Seto but she come back and when Akunhadin see her, he kill Kisara to Seto, extract BEWD from her. He do it during he is under Aknadin's influence.

2) In the manga, Karim is killed in the chapter 318 by Diabund. (According the way the attack is send).

3) Indeed, Bakura is killed once by Atem in the chapter 304 with Ra Phoenix Mode. But Zork reverse the time, Bakura revives and Atem is injuried. Then, he is killed by Mahado in Chapter 319.

4) Aknadin is killed in the chapter 321 when Zork turn his mind in Dark Priest. His body is died but his mind is in the Dark Priest. And the Dark Priest's mind is destroyed in Chapter 335 by the Kisara/BEWD's light appearing in Seto's mind.

Derp, I haven't been active in this thread for a long time, again D:

Thanks for the help, Immi and Allana. I updated the people you listed the info for.

I also added the recent death reveals from 5D's Episodes 134/135. Added a few of them as being uncertain on their deaths being temporal or not, due to lack of details on their "revival" (thinking of Bruno and old!Paradox here) and time travel and the future's fate being left hanging for now. To my knowledge, no one was revealed to have died during Team Ragnarok's backstory, right? The only one I can think of is Brave mentioning that war ignited by Illiaster from which the children escaped to that island.

Also, like I mentioned in the other threads, the contents of this thread will be eventually put on the main site, rather than the Wiki, due to the latter shutting down soon. Oh, and let me know if I got anything wrong in the list. x.x;

You have Dr Fudo as dead Arynis, yet it's hinted he may be alive in some state or form in later episodes. Perhaps we should put the death as inconclusive?

Dr. Fudo seems to be in a rather Mind Screwy limbo. He might be alive. Or he's dead and sticking around in some form instead. Like Shadi... In which case, that's still dead in our book.

But, if the upcoming episodes do toss definite proof in either direction, I'll change his death description.

Also, uh. I'm considering changing the system again. While I thought the amount of detail for each character would be nice, it's kinda... starting to collapse on itself. Or at least I'm starting to get confused here, myself. Especially because of damn cyborgs and their debatable deaths. So I'm proposing the following:

Bolded sections are to be kept, striked out sections to be removed. Italicized sections to be redefined/changed.

Character Name

Died in [Episode number or chapter/volume] (If the character died before the series' present, add "Pre-Pilot" and note the episode their deaths were mentioned in.)
Age at Death (Only for characters we know the CANON age of. Characters with unknown or undeterminable ages will not have this section.)
Cause of Death
Nature of Death (Homicide, Suicide, Accidental, Unexplained, Natural Causes)
Party/Parties Responsible
Other Contributing Factors (Only when applicable.)
Time of Death
Permanent or Temporary Death - Only to be noted if the death is Permanent, otherwise this section is not specified at all.

If... There are no major objections, I'd like to rewrite it.
