I was actually re-reading the YuGiOh manga the other day because I wanted to analyse some more things about it, and Duel One starting off with this depiction of Anubis actually makes sense to me.

The Millennium Eye in the series, has also been described as the Eye of Anubis (and Millennium symbol as well) so to start out with this imagery of Anubis? Yeah!

But the Millennium Eye/Eye of Anubis, seems to be inspired by the Eye of Wedjat/Wadjet. Wadjet herself is closely tied to both the Eye of Ra and the Eye of Horus (depending which eye is being depicted), both are important. She's seen as a symbol of protection, sometimes depicted along with the Ankh, but the protection part is important here because one of the main ways she has been used for protection, is with pharaohs (but not just pharaohs of course, but she has heavy ties with that.) It makes sense for this symbol to be not just on Atem's forehead at times, but also on others who are tied to and/or have Millennium Items since it's all connected to the pharaoh in one way or another.

Now I like to see Wadjet's possible use here, as a symbol of duality. We both have Yugi and Atem here, living as one vessel—and while Wadjet has connection to the afterlife, she is also connected to the land of the living—And we see both Yugi and Atem dipping into both respective sides of that with Atem being in the modern world at the time and Yugi in turn seeing ancient Egypt from when Atem ruled in the World of Memories/Millennium World at the near-end of the series. "Breath of Life" in a way.

Wadjet also has a sister, Nekhbet, and at some point the both of them have a unification. The Two Ladies depicts this and how they become the protectors of unified Egypt. The uraeus was worn by pharaohs, it's depicted inside of tombs.

We have the Winged Dragon of Ra, but we also have The Sky Dragon of Osiris or also known as Slifer. Whose role did he replace at a point? Anubis' role.

Now if you're wondering what the sun disk is depicted as in YuGiOh, that's the The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode lol.

See why the Wadjet thing really throws me through a loop, because i've also seen a theory online where someone was talking about how Atem is partially based on Tutankhamun/Tutankhamen specifically because of his passing. Finding that someone on the internet made me go 'wait wtf' because a portrayal of Wadjet is depicted in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Interesting, but what do I know? Truly I'm just a gay person in your phone.

the millennium eye could be interpreted as a transgender allegory (in a way) and no i will not elaborate on this
