=Universal Traits=

Bakura keeps several traits across the anime and manga. In both he is seen as pretty shy and quiet. He also seems very weak. But the millennium ring, a powerful egyptian artifact that posses the soul of an ancient grave robber often takes over him, and he is called Yami, or Dark Bakura in this state.

=The Anime=



In the anime, Bakura is very mysterious, and appears for a moment then seems to disappear. The millennium ring glows when Yami Bakura comes out. Bakura makes appearances throughout the anime, but rarely stays with Yugi's group.

=The Manga=



In the manga, Bakura is an exchange student. The girls all love him, and he just tries to be a normal person. He avoids games, knowing whenever he does the people who he played then with all die. But, when Yugi and friends ask the new student to play a game, he can;t help but accept their kindness. He introduces them to a RPG game, and they all creates their characters, though from the second they came in it was Yami Bakura in control. After they create their characters, Yami Bakura seals their soles inside pieces of them, forcing them to be in the game. They are able to survive, and free the good Bakura from the bad, and he is able to defeat Zorc, the boss that Yami Bakura created for the game. In the manga, instead of glowing, the prongs of the ring sink into Bakura's skin.
