Yu-Gi-Oh!

Alexander the Great

アレクサンドロス大王

Story Role

Alexander's history is gradually revealed after Yugi and his companions complete the trials of the Capsule Monsters world. Long before their arrival, Alexander conquered vast territories and acquired the Millennium Ring, eventually learning about an ultimate power that could allow its possessor to rule the world.

Shadi directs Alexander toward a series of trials intended to determine whether he is worthy of that power. Alexander enters the Capsule Monsters world with four vassals and succeeds in completing the tests, but the ultimate power remains beyond his reach.

Alexander's increasingly ruthless pursuit of that power causes his spirit to split into two halves. His benevolent half remains within the Capsule Monsters world, while Yami Alexander is sealed within the pyramid.

The benevolent Alexander later guides Yugi and his companions through their own journey and helps Solomon after the loss of his original Capsule Monster. The darker Alexander instead attempts to use Yugi's success to obtain the power that had been denied to him. After the evil half is defeated, Alexander's divided existence finally comes to an end.
