A New Evil - Part 1 is Episode 145 in the Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime, and also the first episode of the Waking the Dragons story arc (Season 4).

Major Events

  • Yami Yuugi duels Grerimo, his first opponent from Dartz's Doma organisation (although that information is not revealed at the time).
  • Grerimo duels with "Obelisk the Tormentor" in his Deck, after his gang (The 3 Swordmen of Doma) steals it (and the other two God Cards) from Yuugi's grandfather.
  • This is the first time "The Seal of Orichalcos" is seen in the series and played against Yuugi.

At the Begining...

  • An expedition in an ocean somewhere deploys a submarine to enter what looks like a submerged city and they find a gigantic city built inside. Amongst them is Professor Hopkins, amazed at the discovery.

One day...

  • One day after the Battle City tournament, both Insector Haga and Dinosaur Ryuuzaki collide upon each other. Having obviously heard of the mythic God Cards, they plan on getting their hands on them no matter what, totally oblivious to the fact that they couldn't use them anyway. While running down a hill street, they crash upon an enigmatic monk-like figure. He recognizes them as "Insector Haga - dono" and "Dinosaur Ryuuzaki - dono". ("Dono" is a Japanese suffix equivalent to the English title of Sir. It's reserved for persons of a high rank or importance.)
    • Things seems to turn worse when the man announces that he has come to take their souls and commands them to Duel with him, displaying a never-before-seen model of Duel Disk.

The Door Won't Open.

  • That same day's afternoon, Yami Yuugi rushes out of the high school building to try to open the Door to his World of Memories. Jounouchi, Honda and Anzu catch with him and they promise to remain on being friends.
  • Simoultaenously, somewhere else, a hooded man inside of an enigmatic temple-like building is chanting a spell in an unknown language. (The language is never specified, but it rather sounds like Ancient Greek).
    • Yami and the others face the "Tablet of Lost Memories". Yami presents the God Cards and the Millennium Puzzle on the tablet responds.
    • The mysterious man chants in a quicker manner and the echo of his voice can be heard inside of the musuem as the tablet is covered in ice.
      • A shriek rings out in the street. The group rushes out to see Duel Monsters swarming everywhere. They decide to try to consult Kaiba Corporation. While rushing there, they stumble upon both Haga and Ryuuzaki, who look strange and are muttering strange things like "it has begun... there's the sign..." and "soon this world shall be destroyed...".
        • The group rushes out into the KC building, which is swarmed with reporters and the operators are trying to handle all of the incoming calls. Kaiba's secretary and Battle City Referee, Isono, is nervously telling the media that they don't know why is this happenings. He announces that the President will offer a press conference soon from the U.S before the reporters are forced outside.

The Theft.

  • Later, during the evening, Yami and the others are watching TV in Yuugi Mutou's house. Sugoroku Mutou(manga) is polishing the God Cards in the meanwhile.
    • The TV reports more incidents of Duel Monsters appearing around the world. Yami wonders if trying to open the World of Memories provoked this. Seto Kaiba comes into view, making the appointed press conference. He claims that the root of the problem isn't within KC, since they disabled the system and the Duel Monsters continued to show up.
      • The group wonders what was that stuff both Haga and Ryuuzaki were babbling about when a sound comes from downstairs. Yuugi rushes down there to find Sugoroku in the ground and obvious signs of ransacking. Sugoroku tells Yuugi that someone stole the God Cards.

The 3 Swordsmen of Doma.

  • Rushing outside, the group see the 3 Gods materializing in different parts of city. Yuugi wonders who could be doing this: you need one of the Millennium Items to be able to Summon them.
    • Suddenly, three bikes come into view and three persons riding on them display the same type of Duel Disk the monk sported. They chant a motoo:

Man 1: "When the forbidden door is opened..." Man 2: "The light of Oreichalcos shall descend upon this filthy world and punish it." Man 3: "We are the 3 Swordsmen of Doma!"

      • Yuugi and Jounouchi demand if they stole the God Cards. Man 2 picks "Obelisk" from his Duel Disk and helds it up. He admits to the theft and claims knowing about the Nameless Pharaoh. They then challenge him to come to the building under construction if they want to retrieve the God Cards. With this, they run off towards a nearby insurance company building.

Grimo and the "Seal of Oreichalcos".

  • The group reach the topmost floor and are greeted by the same monk who faced Haga and Ryuuzaki. His name is Grimo, serving "Rafael - sama", and he challenges Yami to a Duel.

Differences in adaptations

  • The Japanese episode begins with a newscast, which is digitized out of the dub. It shows shots of a couple passing by a store window full of televisions showing the newscast, then Insector Haga, then Dinosaur Ryuuzaki passing by.
  • When Anzu is looking on the roof of Domino High, cut from the dub is a shot of her at a fence.
  • Shadow Tamer has been given more clothing to wear in the dub.
  • Cut from the English version is a sequence of Honda, Jounouchi, and Anzu coming back to watch the Duel, clutching their various bruises. Jounouchi says that fellow has changed since the "Seal" was activated, and Honda says his Monsters have become "Dark Monsters". Anzu sounds concerned after hearing Grimo proclaim that the loser's soul will be sealed. after they are blown back by the Seal's energy.
  • When Grimo activates The Seal of Orichalcos, in the dub he does not explain that it's effect turns all monsters on his side of the field to "Dark Monsters". (NOTE: He doesn't say it'll change their Attribute: instead, it's a title. Their Class and Attribute remain the same.)
