Millennium Ring

From Yu-Gi-Oh!

Millennium Ring

The Millennium Ring was the item held by Mahado in the past and Ryou Bakura in the present. Its powers are to guide the owner to where ever he seeks, acting as a sort of compass. Like the Millennium Puzzle it had a soul sealed inside of it, in this case a fragment of the soul of Zorc Necrophades. (who had also lost his memories) Its demonstrated abilities include sealing souls away, summoning Duel Monsters from the cards and being able to divine the location of other Millennium Items. The Ring also has an unexplained bond with its owner, as shown when Bakura mysteriously regained the Ring after Tristan threw it off a cliff into the forest in Duelist Kingdom.

Mahad had the Millennium Ring before Thief Bakura. Alexander the Great later had it while he conquered parts of the world. In the present day at the start of the anime Ryo Bakura had it, he later lost it to Yami Marik. After Yugi defeated Marik, Marik Ishtar gave the Ring to Yugi. When Rex and Weevil mistakenly took Yugi's Millennium Items in an attempt to steal his Egyptian God Cards, Yami Bakura took it back from them.

In the manga, this ring has a gruesome effect on a wearer who has not the power to maintain its shadow powers. If the wearer is not strong enough, then the ring will burn their soul and body. As seen when a thief who tried to steal it, and was forced to wear it by Shadi, after the ring's prongs punctured his chest, the thief had fire pouring out of his eyes and mouth, and died horribly, a scene that Maximillion Pegasus saw, and was subsequently forced to accept the Millennium Eye.

The strong people who managed to survive the ring's power are: Mahado, Ryo Bakura, and Dark Marik.
