Contents
Major Events
- Grandpa Muto tells Yugi the story of how he discovered the Millennium Puzzle, during his travels in Egypt back in his younger days.
- Yami Bakura still has not given up his quest for the Millennium Items.
Summary
This Episode chronicles in large part Solomon Muto's retrieval, during his younger years, of the Millennium Puzzle. During the 1960s (the date is given by the original Japanese version), Solomon visits the Valley of the Kings, a place in Ancient Egypt where all past Pharaohs have been laid to rest. At this location, in the "Tomb of the Nameless Pharaoh", he finds the Millennium Puzzle.
At the time of Solomon's visit, over 60 ancient tombs had been discovered in this valley, but no one had dared enter the inner chambers of Pharaoh Atem's tomb. The one person that did and survived, was a villager known by Solomon's guides. He was driven mad and repeated the same phrase over and over: "The Shadow Game" (Yami No Game in Japanese).
The Tomb of the Nameless Pharaoh
Before reaching the end of Pharaoh Atem's Tomb and the Millennium Puzzle, Solomon Muto and his guides had to go through a variety of trapped rooms as the ancient treasure was well defended. Each room was treated like a "game", with the ultimate sacrifice awaiting those who lost: death.
Room 1: The Needle-Spitting Snake Statues
The first room Solomon Muto had to cross contained two giant snake statues: their eyes were encrusted with rubies, but it was just a gimmick to attract the greed of unwary adventurers, for their mouths were motion-activated traps that shot out deadly needles.
After he spotted the trap (by throwing out his toothpick/cigarette into the middle of the room), Solomon thwarted the danger by carefully avoiding the room's motion sensors.
Room 2: The "Invisible Ink" Tablet
This room contained a giant statue of Horus and a seemingly blank Tablet. Upon closer examination however, there was a receptacle for tar just below the Tablet, which prompted Solomon to light it on fire with his torch. Like magic, poof: ancient hieroglyphs appeared on the Tablet:
- Beyond here lies the resting place of a great Pharaoh. Only those who show respect may enter, all others will be engulphed by the Pit of Shadows
- (NOTE: in the original Japanese, the tablet read "Ahead is the sleeping place of the great Pharaoh. Trespassers' bodies will be eaten and their souls will be thrown into the darkness")
Soon after, a passageway opened up in the ground, with stairs leading down to the next room.
Room 3: The Maze Across the Pit of Shadows
The North & South ends of this room were separated by a large chasm (the "Pit of Shadows"), with a narrow maze-like corridor providing the only way of reaching the exit. On top of this maze, big statues armed with scimitars blocked the passage. A pressure-sensitive switch also activated a moving spiked wall, a proper incentive to "motivate" hesitant adventurers.
The statues would activate and slash with their weapons if the traveler did not "show respect", which in ancient Egyptian ways meant putting your left foot forward (the heart is on the left side of the body, which meant facing the heart towards the Pharaoh). By doing so Solomon Muto was able to cross the room, but lost one of his guides to the "Pit of Shadows" below during the process.
Room 4: The Monster Bridge
- Ye shall now be judged by the creatures of the stone. Only the pure of heart are permitted to pass, all others will lose their souls to the darkness.
- (NOTE: in the original Japanese, "The Ka residing in the tablets will judge you. Cowards' souls will be eaten. Warriors will be shown the way")
As he crossed the bridge, Solomon Muto was shot in the back by his other guide and wounded. However as the guide crossed the bridge himself, a Shadow Monster sensed his fear and attacked him ("swallowing" him alive in the original Japanese). The spirit of Pharaoh Atem then helped Solomon from his predicament, so that he could retrieve the Millennium Puzzle (NOTE: in the original Japanese, the Pharaoh calls Solomon "Shimon").
Weevil, Rex, and Yami Bakura
The rest of the episode shows Weevil Underwood and Rex Raptor attempting to steal the Egyptian God Cards from Yugi Muto. They steal his duffel bag, but are disappointed to find out it only contains the Millennium Items. They are however stopped by Yami Bakura (who was also featured in a pivotal scene at the beginning of the episode), who then seizes the opportunity to send them to the Shadow Realm and retrieve his Millennium Ring.
Valon Disguises As A Mime
Yugi and Tea heard Valon doing a mime trick. However, Valon tossed a two dodgeballs at Yugi and Tea and disappeared into the Egyptian Tomb of the Dead and Yugi accepts Valon's challenge to duel at the tomb.
Featured Duel: Yugi Muto vs. Valon
Valon's Turn
Yugi's Turn
- Yugi activates Spell Card "Polymerization" to fuse "Curse of Dragon" and "Gaia the Fierce Knight" to form "Gaia the Dragon Champion (2600 ATK 2100 DEF)
- Uses "Gaia the Dragon Champion" to attack "Overdrive" with Double Dragon Lance. (Valon:4000 > 3000 Life Points)
Valon's Turn
- Valon Summons "Machine Attacker" in Attack Position. (1600 ATK 1400 DEF)
Yugi's Turn
- Yugi draws "Summoned Skull".
- Yugi activates Spell Card "Ancient Rules" to Special Summon "Diabound Kernel". (1800 ATK 1500 DEF)
- Yugi tributes "Diabound Kernel" to Summon "Summoned Skull".
- Uses "Summoned Skull" to attack "Machine Attacker" with Lightning Strike. (Valon:3000 > 2100 Life Points)
Valon's Turn
- Valon Summons "Saber Slasher" in Attack Position (1450 ATK 1500 DEF) and then "Quality" in Attack Position.
Changes to the English version
- When the story of young Solomon Muto begins, a text appears on the screen setting the date: "mid-1960s".
- A voice-over of the old Solomon Muto (as voiced by Maddie Blaustein) accompanies the story throughout in the English version. There is no voice-over in the original Japanese, but rather the "young" Solomon Muto tells his own tale.
- When he tells his guides the reason for finding the Pharaoh's tomb, a flashback of Solomon Muto's gambling & gaming past is shown in the Japanese version.
- Solomon Muto's cigarette is replaced by a toothpick in the English version.
- In the original Japanese version, viewers can catch a glimpse of a gun inside one of the guides' vest. When the spiked wall trap is activated, the same guide pulls out the gun and points it at Solomon Muto ordering him to cross the maze.
- As Solomon Muto crosses the final bridge, the guide shoots him in the back with his gun. This scene is cut from the English version: the guide uses a slingshot instead.
- The scene where the bridge monster eats the guide (as shown by shadows on the wall) is cut from the English version.
- In the Japanese version, as the Pharaoh helps Solomon get up he calls him "Shimon", probably recognizing him as Shimon Muran's reincarnation (or mistaking him as his ancient Sacred Guardian). In the English dub, the Pharaoh simply says "I have been waiting for you".
