Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters

TV Show • 2000 • Animation  

Report
Bullies often target someone frail and weak—someone exactly like Yûgi Muto. He treasures his Millennium Puzzle, an ancient Egyptian artifact that was brought into his grandfather's game shop. Believing that solving the puzzle will grant him his wish, he completes the puzzle, unleashing a new personality within him, the soul of the "King of Games." The new personality named Yami Yûgi is the exact opposite of Yûgi. Upon any injustice toward him, Yami Yûgi takes over Yûgi's body and forces the opponent into a "Shadow Game".

Not exactly, but Allister/Amelda’s brother was killed (kidnapped in the dub). By Dartz who was dressed as Gozaburo Kaiba. And So Allister was lead to believe that Gozaburo was responsible for his trauma. Same for the other two henchman in this arc. Their trauma was caused by Dartz but he convinces them that he’s here to help them and takes them in.

Not sure if this counts but possibly worth mentioning. At the end of the Orichalchos arc, the main villain is fused onto a dragon’s face. The villain becomes what is essentially a shirtless, melted, purple skin version of himself, lacking legs. It’s not too scary but it can definitely be unsettling.

In The Joey/Jonouchi vs Yami Marik fight. Marik vomits in his mouth and sounds are heard. His covers his mouth and no actual Vom is shown, but it could still be triggering. This was removed in the dub.

This isn’t exactly the same, but might be worth mentioning. Two of the main antagonists have an alter ego. It’s not DID but, if interpreted wrong than perhaps. And they are both violent. Another possible thing worth mentioning is, the villain of S4, whilst also not necessarily mentally ill, was brainwashed into becoming evil and does kill thousands including his wife, father, child.

Unlike Yami Yugi and Yami Bakura who are spirits residing in ancient objects, Yami Marik is confirmed to be a second personality split from Marik's childhood trauma.
He's incredibly violent and kills Marik's own father, he also attempts to kill several other characters.
This is what I know from the sub, I'm unsure if this is different in the dub.
Despite this, while not exactly having DID, Yugi and Yami Yugi are similar to it and their representation of it is actually very good.

Not exactly, but Dartz’s three henchman were all given very traumatic backstories. And two of them are especially caught up on it.
Allister lost his brother during wartime in his country. And he is fixated on getting revenge. And Rafael lost his family in a boat crash and was stranded on an island and recounts the story multiple times.
