《遊戲王》系列動漫自1998年首部作品問世以來，陸續推出多部續作與衍生作品，每一部的結局設計皆有所不同，但仍圍繞著友情、冒險與決鬥的核心精神。其中，最經典且被廣泛討論的初代《遊戲王》結局，既是對主角武藤遊戲（即闇遊戲/法老王）故事的完整收尾，也為整個系列奠定敘事基調。

在初代《遊戲王》中，武藤遊戲在與海馬瀨人及其他決鬥者的對戰中，逐步集齊了象徵最強力量的神之卡及各種千年古物。隨著故事進入高潮，遊戲的靈魂最終回到古埃及，取回了自己真正的名字「亞圖姆」，並完成與現世的連結與告別。在靈魂回歸故鄉之後，遊戲則回到現代世界，繼續與朋友們生活，象徵著冒險的結束與日常生活的延續，結局充滿情感張力，也帶有哲理意味——即無論力量多大，友情與人際羈絆才是最重要的。

續作如《遊戲王 5D's》的結局則更注重個人夢想與未來的選擇。主角不動遊星與夥伴們在故事中克服重重挑戰，最終實現各自的理想。故事中的紅龍收回力量離開，而遊星選擇留在新童實野市建設家園，與十六夜秋之間的感情線保持曖昧與開放式結局，為觀眾留下想像空間，同時也象徵著新一代的開始和未來的可能性。

《遊戲王 ARC-V》則呈現出更複雜的結局，漫畫與動畫版本存在差異。動畫版中，多個世界線融合，角色因失憶與事件影響而展開不同命運，使結局不僅是個人完成使命，也牽動多個世界的秩序與角色關係。這種結局呈現了跨世界的宏大敘事，也讓觀眾在理解角色成長與關係變化中獲得更多思考空間。

其他系列作品，如《遊戲王 ZEXAL》、《遊戲王 VRAINS》、《遊戲王 SEVENS》以及《遊戲王 GO RUSH!!》，則各自擁有獨立的故事線與結局設計。大多數情況下，主角與夥伴們完成主要任務或達成個人目標，故事以他們走向未來、展開新生活作為收尾，並強調決鬥精神、勇氣以及團隊合作的重要性。

總體而言，《遊戲王》系列的各部作品雖然故事背景、角色與世界觀不同，但核心價值一脈相承：無論是面對強敵、追求夢想，還是跨越時空的冒險，友情、勇氣以及在決鬥中磨練出的智慧與品格，始終是故事最深層的主題。各結局不僅為主角團的旅程畫下句點，也象徵著新一段冒險的開始，呈現出完整而豐富的角色弧線與情感體驗。

The Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series, which began in 1998, has since produced numerous sequels and spin-offs, each featuring different endings while maintaining the core themes of friendship, adventure, and dueling. Among these, the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series is widely regarded as the most classic, offering a definitive conclusion to the story of the protagonist Yugi Mutou (also known as the Dark Yugi/Pharaoh).

In the original series, Yugi, through duels against Seto Kaiba and other opponents, gradually collects the God Cards and other Millennium Items, representing ultimate power. As the story reaches its climax, Yugi’s soul ultimately returns to ancient Egypt, reclaiming his true name, Atem, and completing his connection to the modern world. After returning to his spiritual homeland, Yugi continues life with his friends in the present day, symbolizing the conclusion of adventure and the resumption of everyday life. This ending is emotionally resonant and carries philosophical undertones, suggesting that no matter how powerful one becomes, friendship and personal bonds remain paramount.

In the sequel Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s, the ending focuses more on personal dreams and choices for the future. The protagonist, Yusei Fudo, and his companions overcome various challenges and ultimately achieve their respective goals. The Red Dragon returns its power and departs, while Yusei chooses to stay in New Domino City to help rebuild, leaving his relationship with Aki Izayoi ambiguous and open-ended. This allows viewers to imagine future possibilities while symbolizing a new generation and the start of new adventures.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V presents a more complex ending, with differences between the manga and anime versions. In the anime, multiple worldlines merge, and several characters’ fates are altered due to memory loss and other events. The conclusion not only resolves individual storylines but also impacts the order of multiple worlds, offering a grand narrative scope and encouraging viewers to consider character growth and evolving relationships.

Other series, such as Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, VRAINS, SEVENS, and GO RUSH!!, feature independent storylines and endings. Generally, protagonists and their teams complete their main objectives or personal missions, concluding with them stepping into the future and starting new lives. These endings emphasize the spirit of dueling, courage, and the importance of teamwork.

Overall, although each Yu-Gi-Oh! series varies in setting, characters, and world-building, the central values remain consistent: whether confronting powerful adversaries, pursuing dreams, or embarking on adventures across time and space, friendship, courage, and the wisdom and character honed through dueling are at the heart of the story. Each ending not only closes the protagonists’ journey but also symbolizes the beginning of new adventures, offering a rich and satisfying emotional arc for both characters and viewers.
