The Millennium Rod is often referred to as the "scepter" in the Japanese version. This item grants the holder the power of bending the wills of others through mind control, and also lets its user telepathically communicate with his/her servants. There is also a sharp sword concealed in the bottom of the rod, although this was only used in the Japanese Anime. A victory duel is not required to use this ability. During Marik's childhood, he was possessed by his dark side (Yami Marik), who used the Millennium Rod to kill his father (in the English version it is said that Marik's father was banished to the Shadow Realm). In Kaiba's duel with Ishizu, the Millennium Rod showed Kaiba a vision of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, causing him to summon it instead of attacking with Obelisk the Tormentor (which would have caused him to lose the duel). This is because it was originally owned by the Egyptian priest Seto, of whom Kaiba is a reincarnation. After Marik's defeat at Battle City he gave the Millenium Rod to Yugi.

The Rod contains a hidden blade, which appears when the bottom of the Rod is slid off. This is removed in some of the dubbed animes. In Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories, the Rod is shaped and colored slightly different.
