To gain the power he seeks, Yami Bakura will do almost anything. When he first encounters Malik and is debating whether or not to be on Malik's side, he accepts by licking a knife and stabbing himself. He seems to have a thing for blood and rare flesh. At certain times in the manga and anime, you see him licking blood (even that from Pegasus's eye after he rips it out) and eating rare meat.Even though Yami Bakura doesn't seem to care about anyone but himself, and wounds Bakura's body many times, the only other person he even slightly cares about is the real Bakura. A few times he even says that no matter what, he'd never let anything happen to Bakura (Of course he says this is a way that makes one think that Yami Bakura only cares about the body he's in).Later in the series, Yami Bakura faces Yugi, and then later faces Yami Malik. However, Yami Bakura is no match for his powers, even with the real Malik on his side. As he is defeated, Yami Bakura states that he can never be killed, for he is darkness itself.
Yami Bakura is referred to as the darkness a few times throughout the series. Even though he's dark, there's something very desperate about Yami Bakura. It's almost as if part of him is fighting for something more than himself. However, like the others, his memories are also missing.
