The history of the God cards are slightly complex. The true reason that they were created still remains a mytery (the true reason of their creation has not been explained). However, assembling all three of the God cards is key to unlocking the "forbidden memories" of the hero of the Yu-Gi-Oh! story, Yugi Mutou.
It is known that Pegasus discovered the remnants of the God cards during his travels in Egypt, and their secrets that were sealed within the tablets that the ancient Egyptains used to play their own version of Duel Monsters. He created the cards, but realizing their power, he had them buried in Egypt away. Though it is not delved in during the comic, there is an episode nearly devoted to the repercussions of exactly what happened when Pegasus created the current representations of the God cards.
The nature of the God cards is based upon the heart of its controller. It an evil heart should use them during a duel, they are capable of taking the opponent's soul. They are described as "the ultimate warriors."
Fate brings the major players of the Battle City tournament together, and the battle over the God cards. Supposedly, the one that controls all three of the God cards will be given unlimited power. Exactly what power is unknown. However, Yugi has come to the conclusion that if he is going to unlock his memories, he is going to have to have all three God cards, and the seven Millennium Items. The rest is unknown |
