But, days after sealing the tomb up, a massive earthquake struck Egypt, destroying the Pharaoh's Tomb. Over the course of days, raiders plundered the riches within, taking all but two items, which were encased within a golden box hidden within the sarcophagus of Atemu himself.
The items were the pieces of the legendary Millennium Puzzle and the Egyptian God Card Obelisk the Tormentor.
100 years after Battle City, a young man came home to his family's card shop, when he saw a golden box sitting on top of the counter. Opening it, the young man's eyes widen as he saw the pieces of the Millennium Puzzle and Obelisk the Tormentor.
Then word came along of a tournament being organized by KaibaCorp . . .the 100th Battle City tournament special. Excited, the young man pieced the Millennium Puzzle together . . .just like his grandfather did before him.
As soon as he put the last piece in, the young man was filled with mystical energy and the spirit of the Ancient Egyptian Pharaoh Atemu himself.
Now, armed with the Millennium Puzzle & Obelisk the Tormentor, the young man set out for the 100th Battle City tournament special, not knowing what was in store for him . . . or for his specialized deck that was designed after the now-dead KaibaCorp CEO Seto Kaiba.
Like his grandfather before him, the young man is the one chosen by fate to save the world from eternal darkness and those who use the infinte power of the Shadow Realm to their own advantage. This is Yu-Gi-Oh AF . . .and this is the tale of the grandson of Yugi Moto, Joseph Moto.
