Do any of you guys here actually believe the English Yu-Gi-Oh dub explanation of Yugi being the modern reincarnation of Atem? It's an odd thing to think about considering how different their personalities are. Yet the manga repeatedly contradicts itself saying that Yugi and Yami are not the same person yet they are. Takahashi refers it to "other personalities" and that he believes we all have different sides to us yet this contradicts his story where it's stated that Yugi and Yami are not different personalities but different SPIRITS. It's very odd and confusing and was never really explicitly explained in the manga.
Just how were Yugi and Yami related? Did the Pharaoh just happen to find a modern boy with his exact same hairstyle, fashion tastes, and love of gaming to inhabit? Not to mention going to school with his past cousin/rival Seto Kaiba? We all know that Atem was Kaiba's real rival not Yugi. Was it all just coincidence?
As for Bakura, why was such an innocent boy chosen to house the greatest evil? And why was Thief Bakura named after him? In the manga before Yugi's friends go to the Pharaoh's memories, Bobasa does not allow Bakura to go with them because his Millennium Scales tipped him off to the boy's "evil shadow". It's sad to think about and I don't believe Bakura himself is bad but Takahashi never outright confirmed just what the heck Thief Bakura's relationship to the modern Bakura was. It's very frustrating!
What are your all's theories about this and Yugi's and Bakura's relationships to their yamis?

They're the alteregos of their hikaris but are different..they give the hikaris personality traits that were not there before..but no, not exactly the same person.
With Atem, he knew very little about himself when he first popped out of the puzzle, so he acted on Yugi's feelings a lot in the beginning, which would explain why he called himself "The Other Yugi," but then something was telling him to go seek out his actual past later on. He would not have been able to exist if Yugi was murdered or something. Same with Ryou's yami..he would not be able to exist without his host. And it is noticeable he still is protective of him even though he is as evil as all get out and would do things Ryou would never think to do.
Kaiba can be considered a reincarnation of his past self though but obviously he isn't exactly the same person as Priest Seto as Priest Seto was more caring and protective of Atem even though they were rivals. Ishizu is also different from her past self, more no-nonsense and stern, although she could be considered a reincarnate for sure.
I understand the confusion of Atem and Thief King Bakura though but I suppose a good way to minimize it would be like thinking of how Kagome is supposed to be a reincarnation of Kikyo from InuYasha even though they look and act different.

Ah I see... Great explanation!  So it's more like these "reincarnations" have become entirely separate people and gained their own souls, sort of how like Yami Marik threw Marik out of his own body even though he was not even a spirit but simply a split personality. I agree about the spirit not existing without its host thing. During the Yugi vs Pegasus duel in the manga they said that neither Yugi could exist without the other, which is odd considering how Atem left the mortal world at the end and Yugi was still alive. It's a very complicated thing indeed. Thank you for your input! ^^ |

I believe that Yugi and Ryo are reincarnations of part of their predecessors' souls. When Atem was battling Zorc, he said that even if he died, the light of his soul would continue on and be inherited by someone worthy of it, ie Yugi. Same thing for Ryo and Bakura. The darkness of their souls was sealed in the items while the light was reincarnated into Yugi and Ryo.

I do believe in that they are reincarnations of Atem and Y.Bakura.
It would make a lot of sence.
Also this is just a big gut feeling I have but I can't explain why.
