Summary
Mahad vs. Thief King Bakura
- As their servants wage battle outside the tomb, Thief King Bakura and Mahad get ready to Duel inside. As they're about to commence, instead of saying "Let's Duel" they say "Dia Ha" (in Japanese, it has the same meaning as "Duel" but is more suited for the setting of Ancient Egypt).
- Bakura Summons his "Diabound", only this time his appearance is different! Bakura reveals that as the darkness within him grows, his monster continues to evolve.
- Mahad Summons "Illusion Magician", which has also evolved. It now much more closely resembles "Dark Magician".
- Bakura's "Diabound" strikes with Poison Fang Strike. Mahad's Magician dodges it and counter-attacks with a direct hit on Diabound. Mahad then transfers part of his magic to his monster to make "Illusion Magician" even stronger. It strikes Diabound again but it still stands.
- Meanwhile at the palace, the Pharaoh awakens from his sleep and senses something is happening to one of his Sacred Guardians. From his balcony, he can see Mahad's Tablet Shrine activating, deducing he is involved in a Shadow Game.
- Mahad Summons "Shadow Ghoul" and uses its Ambush Attack to attack Bakura's "Diabound" three times, including an attack by his "Illusion Magician". On the third strike however Diabound dodges the attack and then destroys "Shadow Ghoul".
- Since he transferred his power to his monsters, part of Mahad's life energy is lost in Shadow Ghoul's destruction.
- "Illusion Magician" attacks "Diabound", seemingly destroying it.
- However, "Diabound" has the ability to absorb the power of the monsters it destroys. By destroying Mahad's "Shadow Ghoul", it acquired its Ambush Attack ability: it creeps up behind Mahad and wounds "Illusion Magician". Mahad loses some more of his life energy.
The Pharaoh Senses Something
- Meanwhile, the Pharaoh has traveled to Mahad's Tablet Shrine and found Mana, who also sensed something was happening to her master. They notice the Stone Tablet of "Illusion Magician" is slowly beginning to crumble, meaning Mahad's monster is losing its energy.
- Meanwhile in the present, Yugi & his friends are still stuck inside the Millennium Puzzle, but they finally stumble on a door who could have some meaning.
- As they open it, they see the shape of Ryo Bakura, but it turns out it's actually "evil" Yami Bakura who then turns into a fire-spewing monster and knocks them out of the room. As they return to the room, Bakura and the monster are gone.
- Back at the Shadow Game, Bakura's "Diabound" is progressively weakening Mahad's "Illusion Magician". However not paying attention, Thief King Bakura steps into a bear trap concealed by Mahad's magic.
- Mahad activates another trap, a pendulum axe, to put and end to Bakura once and for all. However he leans out of the way and the pendulum cuts him from from the bear trap. Several other pendulums are activated inside the battle arena.
- Bakura jumps on the first pendulum and alters its swinging path, knocking into another pendulum and causing it to swing towards Mahad, almost slicing him away.
- Mahad activates another trap, a pendulum axe, to put and end to Bakura once and for all. However he leans out of the way and the pendulum cuts him from from the bear trap. Several other pendulums are activated inside the battle arena.
- Meanwhile, the Pharaoh and Mana have arrived at the Spellcaster's Sanctuary.
The Birth of "Dark Magician"!!!
- Back inside the Sanctuary, Bakura's "Diabound" activates its Ambush Attack ability again and moves in for the kill. Diabound repeatedly uses Helical Shockwave on "Illusion Magician" and saps Mahad of his remaining life energies.
- Feeling close to defeat, Mahad transfers his spirit into his monster. As Mahad's body vanishes, the Millennium Ring is finally into Bakura's possession, but Mahad has now created the final form we all know of... "Dark Magician"!!!!
- "Dark Magician" uses Dark Magic Attack to destroy "Diabound" and bury Bakura under a pile of rock.
- Feeling close to defeat, Mahad transfers his spirit into his monster. As Mahad's body vanishes, the Millennium Ring is finally into Bakura's possession, but Mahad has now created the final form we all know of... "Dark Magician"!!!!
- After winning the Duel, "Dark Magician" (aka Mahad) is sealed inside the Stone Tablet. His soul will serve the Pharaoh for all eternity.
- Meanwhile in the present, Yugi & his friends have maybe finally found a way to transcend to the Pharaoh's plane of existence. They hold hands and concentrate, listening to the Pharaoh's call. It seems to be working and a very bright light opens up around them.
