遊☆戯☆王 Some people call this Season Zero as a matter of convenience, but this is a completely different series made by different companies that have nothing to do with Duel Monsters and the other Yu-Gi-Oh anime series.
Yuugi-oh = Literally is Japanese for "King of Games".
Ran from April 4, 1998 to October 10. (27 episodes)
March 6, 1999 Yu-Gi-Oh the Movie came to theaters. It was a triple feature with the Digimon Adventures movie and the Dr. Slump movie.

- Jounouchi Katsuya (城之内 克也)
- Seiyuu: Morikawa Toshiyuki
- A bully who has trouble with his family. He befriended Honda before the beginning of the series. As a bully, he would often push Yuugi around and even went as far as throwing a piece of Yuugi's Millenium Puzzle into the pool. However, when Jounouchi and Honda were bullied by Ushio, who claimed to be Yuugi's bodyguard, Yuugi protects both Jounouchi and Honda, which made Jounouchi realize that Yuugi truly cared about him and returned the last missing piece of the Millenium Puzzle to Yuugi.

Afterwards, Anzu began to develop feeling for the man who saved her and eventually finds out that it was Yuugi when she was trapped in a ferris wheel with a bomb-maker trying to blow up gondolas with a game.

Trivia
This series is an adaptation of the manga of the same name, which ran in Weekly Shonen Jump in Japan from 1996 to 2004. It converted storylines from the first volume up to the seventh (with some parts from the eighth volume). However, the anime took some liberties. There are significant differences between the original manga series and the anime. Manga plots were re-written so that they could take up an entire episode time. Also, the level of violence was reduced between the manga and the anime. Finally, a minor character in the manga, Nosaka Miho, joined the cast of main characters in the anime.
This was the first anime adaptation for the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga series. There are other adaptations - Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (known simply as Yu-Gi-Oh! in the U.S.) and it's spinoffs Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds were made by a separate animation company, Studio Dais, and are officially unrelated. However, they do share a few plot points, and most of the details from the original manga that were ignored or condensed in the other series are explained in more detail in this one.
