During [[Dark Yugi and Dark Marik's Duel (manga)|Dark Yugi and Dark Marik's Duel]], Marik accepted that his father's death was caused by Dark Marik and not the pharaoh, Dark Yugi. He possessed Anzu to convey this message and that he was prepared to die for his actions, so that Dark Marik could be defeated. He apologized to Ishizu and asked why she had not told him the truth about their father's death. He figured she knew it was their family's fate for him to fight the pharaoh in Battle City. Ishizu said that the only fate she wanted for him was to keep living, even if he had become consumed by revenge. Unable to keep Dark Marik at bay, Marik reaffirmed that he must die in order to get rid of Dark Marik, despite objection from Ishizu.<ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Marik hung his head in shame, as Ishizu and Rishid approached him. Ishizu reminded him that their family had lived in darkness for thousands of years and said it had been his destiny to end that. She said that revenge should not last thousands of years or even a lifetime and suggested that their family may have been given the duty of guarding the pharaoh's memories, so that the pharaoh could teach them that lesson. Marik asked her if their family could live outside of the dark. She replied that she, Marik and Rishid were Tomb Guardians and family no matter where they live. <ref name="d d 217" /> Rishid, who had long yearned to be considered a member of the family <ref name="d d 155" /> was surprised and thankful to hear that.<ref name="d d 217" />
Ishizu and Marik fulfilled their duties as Tomb Guardians, by revealing the pharaoh's memory which had been carved onto Marik's back. Ishizu, Marik and Rishid then returned to Egypt to start a new life.
