{{Wikipediapar|''Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light''}}
The movie was also adapted as an ani-manga, ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie Ani-Manga]]'', and a Japanese novel, ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters: Pyramid of Light (novel)|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters: Pyramid of Light]]''.
==Synopsis==
[[File:MOV-Pyramid-of-Light-and-Tablet-Montage.jpg|thumb|right|425px|The [[Pyramid of Light]] (right) and its Stone Tablet on display at the Domino City museum. Note the three [[Egyptian God]]s ([[Slifer]], [[Ra]], and [[Obelisk]]) engraved on the Tablet.]]
The events of [[Battle City]] have just concluded, and [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] now owns all three [[Egyptian God]] cards. [[Seto Kaiba]] longs to finally defeat him, and he has a plan. He suspects that since [[Maximillion Pegasus]] created the Egyptian God cards, he would have also created a way to beat them, just in case something ever went wrong.
Kaiba heads off to Pegasus's castle and challenges him to a [[Duel]]. The stakes are the following: if Pegasus wins, he gets Kaiba's three "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragons]]"; if Kaiba wins, Pegasus hands over the card that can beat the Egyptian Gods. Kaiba wins, and Pegasus must fulfill his wager: he picks up two cards from Pegasus's [[deck]]s. However, Pegasus is confused; he only created ''one'' card to beat the Egyptian Gods, not two...
Yugi does so, transforming into [[Yami Yugi]] on the way, and finds Kaiba ready to duel. Seto asks Mokuba to seal all the exits, forcing Yugi to duel him, but not before [[Joey Wheeler]] and [[Tristan Taylor]] find their way in to watch.
The duel goes on for what seems like an eternity, and Yugi is starting to suspect that there are dark forces at work - especially when Kaiba [[activate]]s a [[Trap Card]] called the "[[Pyramid of Light (anime)|Pyramid of Light]]", which not only bears a striking resemblance to its namesake in the museum, but also prevents Yugi from using any of the Egyptian Gods! Before long, Kaiba has his "[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]" on the [[field]], but to Yugi's surprise, he sacrifices it to [[summonSummon]] a [[monster]] known as the "[[Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon]]", which is even stronger!
The Pyramid of Light also pulls the souls of Yugi, Joey, and Tristan into Yugi's Millenium Puzzle, where they are chased by [[Mummy (character)|a group of mummies]] controlled by an unknown force...
It's is [[Anubis]], the Egyptian Lord of the Dead, whom the Pharaoh destroyed 5000 years ago. But now he's is back with the Pyramid of Light around his neck and two of his secret weapon most powerful monsters - "[[Theinen the Great Andro Sphinx (anime)|Andro Sphinx]]" and "[[Sphinx Teleia (anime)|SphinxTeleia]]"! On top of this, Téa, Joey, Tristan and Yugi are all trapped inside the Millennium Puzzle, leaving the Pharaoh to duel all alone. Putting all his faith into the cards, Yugi draws the "[[Double Spell (anime)|Double Spell]]" card, which allows him to discard his other spell card to activate "[[Monster Reborn (anime)|Monster Reborn]]" from Seto's [[Graveyard]]. He uses it to revive "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon", who thens destroy then destroys the "[[Pyramid of Light]]" (after it was weakened by Yugi from inside the Millennium Puzzle), along with "Andro Sphinx" and "Sphinx Teleia". But [[Anubis]] is not finished yet. With the Pyramid gone, he combines his fallen Sphinxes into a new, even stronger monster - "[[Theinen the Great Sphinx follows(anime)|Theinen the Great Sphinx]]"! Yugi, however, activates "[[Reverse of Reverse]]" to activate Kaiba's "Return from the Different Dimension". The God Monsters return and destroy the Great Sphinx, seemingly taking Anubis is seemingly defeatedwith it. But a giant jackal - the ancient Egyptian representation of Anubis, the Lord of the Dead - rises from the remains of the Pyramid!
Kaiba and Yugi join forces, putting all their strength into the "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" card, and using Shining Nova to destroy Anubis once and for all. On top of it all, Pegasus, who had earlier arrived via helicopter to help them, gets them out of the explosion in time.
==Relation to Canonthe anime== [[File:AnubisPoL.jpgpng|thumb|left|250px|[[Anubis]].]]Like It is unclear whether the Dragon Ball Z universe (actual movie is considered canon movies excepted), '''Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light''' creates some continuity problems within to the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' [[manga]]/[[anime]] series. However, if it were canonical it would take place after Despite the events supposed prominance of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 144|Episode 144]] of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', due to the fact that [[Yugi]] has all 3 [[Egyptian God]] cards after winning the duel against [[Yami MarikAnubis]] in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 142|Episode 142]]. It also most likely takes place before [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 145|Episode 145]] of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', due to the fact that the [[Egyptian God]] cards are stolen and used against [[Yugi]] in said episode. In the movie, it is explained that [[Anubis]] (アヌビス Anubisu) was killed by [[Pharaoh Atem]] 3000 years ago (5000 in the English anime) and then resurrected when [[Yugi Muto|YugiPharaoh]] completed his [[Millennium Puzzle]]. In the Japanese version of the movie, the duel between Seto Kaiba and Yami Yugi is a ploy masterminded by Anubis, with the objective to have the King of Light (Seto Kaiba) defeat the King of Darkness (Dark Yugi). Anubis seeks revenge against the Pharaoh and wants to be resurrected as the "King of Destruction", using Kaiba to become the new king and rule the world. In the manga and first series anime, however, Yugi's completion of the [[Millenium Puzzle]] follows a different storyline: Yugi was beaten up by [[Trudge|Ushio]], who had also beaten up [[Joey Wheeler|Jonouchi]] and [[Tristan Taylor|Honda]]past, and he completed the puzzle while beaten up to become Dark Yugi. In addition, during the [[Dawn of the Duel]] arc, Anubis never made an appearance and was never shown to be killed by [[Pharaoh Atem]] (the battle must either have been off-screen, before the events involving [[Thief King Bakura]], or never taken place at all). Despite being designed by [[Kazuki Takahashi]] himself, and due to the fact that Anubis never made any appearances in the anime or manga, he is considered a non-canon character by most fans. ==Mistakes In The Movie==In the English version appeared outside of the movie, the makers made many mistakes. However, most of them were fixed or pointed out when it aired in Japan. *Right after the opening title, many people are watching a television screen showing Yami Yugi [[duel]]ing [[Seto Kaiba]] in the first episode, which shows him [[Draw a card|drawing]] [[Exodia]]'s [[Exodia the Forbidden One|head]], but the card is in Japanese. *When the duel between Seto and Pegasus begins, the latter is shown with 4 cards in his [[hand]]. *Pegasus activates "[[Ultimate Offering]]" when dueling against Kaiba, so that he can summon more [[Toon]] [[monster]]s in one [[turn]] at the [[cost]] of 500 [[Life Points]] per monster. However, Toons are [[Special Summon]]ed, not [[Normal Summon]]ed, making "Ultimate Offering" completely unnecessary (this was not changed when it aired in Japan.) *When [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] challenges a group of [[duelist]]s wanting to have a go at [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] and his [[Egyptian God Cards|God Cards]], movie—despite the first challenger summons "[[Injection Fairy Lily]]" on the first turn. The entire card itself was either vertically reversed or placed upside-down while horizontally reversed (not to mention that you normally would not be allowed to [[attack]] on the first turn). Also, if one looks carefully, it is mispelled as well, as it says Iinjjection instead of Injection. *When Kaiba has his computer run a simulation of a duel between him and Yugi, Yugi is listed as using [[Paladin of White Dragon]]. *When Kaiba has his computer run a simulation Dawn of the duel between him and Yugi, Yugi is spelt Yuugi. *When "[[Familiar KnightDuel]]" is attacked, the card underneath is reversed. *When "[[Peten the Dark Clown]]" is [[destroyed by battle]], Kaiba activates "[[Deck Destruction Virus]]", which can only be activated when a ''[[Fiend]]-[[Type]]'' [[Monster Card|Monster]] with 500 [[ATK]] or less is destroyed by battle. "Peten the Dark Clown" is a ''[[Spellcaster]]-type'' monster. *Seto Kaibaarc's plan for a 'perfect victory' by summoning all 3 exploration of [[Yami Yugi]]'s [[Egyptian Gods|God Cards]] would not normally work, as "Return from the Different Dimension" only affects cards removed from play <u>that you own</u>. Since they were Yami Yugi's cards, Kaiba would be unable to summon them. It is possible that Kaiba probably had another strategy to make "Return from the Different Dimension" work with Yami YugiPharaoh's monsterspast.
The movie is set after the [[Battle City]] finals,<ref name="4Kids announcement"/> with Yugi wielding all three Egyptian God Cards in the movie. According to Animation World Network, the movie is set directly after [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 144|Episode 144]] (the final episode of the [[FileBattle City (part 2)|Battle City Finals]]).<ref>{{cite web |last1=Patten |first1=Fred |title='Yu-Gi-Oh!':MOV Winged Dragon of Ra ErrorAnime Made In...jpgFor America |thumburl=https://www.awn.com/animationworld/yu-gi-oh-anime-made-america |rightwebsite=Animation World Network |250pxaccess-date=20 December 2021 |The 2 copies date=13 August 2004}}</ref> In the English dub of "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra]]"Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 148|episode 148]], Tristan references the events of the film.

However, this is an error as "Paladin of White Dragon" is also a Dragon-Type monster, and therefore should mean that Kaiba has ''six'' Dragon-Type monsters in his Graveyard, and thus the ATK of "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" should have been 4800, not 4500. This would also mean that when "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" attacked and destroyed "[[Deck Destruction VirusSorcerer of Dark Magic (anime)|Sorcerer of Dark Magic]]"), Yami Yugi's Life Points would have dropped to 0, losing the Duel.

La Película] ==Trivia==*The movie aired in theaters in North America, Europe, Australia, but not in Japan. The movie was shown on Special Screenings in Japan on November 3rd, 2004. The movie then aired on TV Tokyo on January 2, 2005. The Japanese version is known to run 11 minutes longer. *The English version of the movie was completely edited when it first appeared in theaters in the US, but the Japanese language version (released in Special Screenings on November 3rd, 2004 and later aired on TV Tokyo in January 2nd, 2005) differs in content, uncut, and is complete with cards in Japanese. The Japanese version is in 101 minutes and the English version is originally in 90 minutes. Many scenes in the English version were omitted, switched, and some were altered. *'''''Yu-Gioh-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light''''' hit theatres in North America before the [[Battle City]] Finals episodes aired, somewhat spoiling the ending for those who saw the movie. *'''''Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light''''' hit Special Screenings and on TV Tokyo in Japan after [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (second series anime)]] ended thereat WarnerBros. Thus, [[Yami Yugicom]] already returned to the Spirit World, the [[Millennium Items]] were sealed away forever, and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]] already began broadcasting in Japan.*VIZ Media released an "ani-manga" comic book version of the movie with the Egyptian God Card "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon]]" as part of their Shonen Jump lineup. *'''''Yu-Gi-Oh! The Moviehttps: Pyramid of Light''''' is not to be confused with the 30-minute ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! the Movie]]'' that was released in Japan and produced by Toei Animation//www. *The original Japanese story calls for the Pharaoh's past to take place "3000 years ago", but the English translators misread this as "3000 BC"! The English version thus puts the story 5000 years ago, but some believe this was intentional: nothing is known about Ancient Egypt 5000 years ago, and therefore the non-existence of [[Pharaoh Atem]] cannot be proven (or disproved)warnerbros.*In the United States, '''''Yucom/news/press-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light''''' is the only part of the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' universe to have the text on the cards included. Unlike the Japanese original version, the English Dub of the TV anime series completely edited the text out of the cards due to FCC regulations, expanding the art on them to fill the gap. The cards in the movie also retained the visual rarity that their real-world card game counterparts have, with the rarer cards having gold lettering on them to match those of an Ultra Rare card. In addition, the Life Point counters used in this duel are the same used in the original Japanese series. However, there are portions throughout the film in which the cards are displayed with the picture and text mirrored backwards.**Due to cards being displayed this way, you can see that it says [Spell Card] under each [[Spell Cards|Spell Card's]] name. In [[Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime]], [[Spell Card]]s are still called [[Magic Cards]].*In the beginning of the movie, it is said that Yugi defeated [[Seto Kaiba]] to win the finals of the [[Battle City]] Duel Monsters tournament. This is not true, for the final of the tournament was against [[Marik Ishtar]] releases/ [[Dark Marik]] (scenes of Yugi receiving the final Egyptian God Card from Marik are however correctly included).*Much like the early Pokémon theatrical releases, the movie released limited%E2%80%9Cyu-edition promotional cards alongside the tickets bought for the movie. To further stretch the card game tiegi-in, an exclusive movie pack was released in card shops to help garner interest in the movie. The DVD versions stated that there were 4 promo cards included in the DVD. This was not true for many versions, as it required a large amount of payment to be sent to [[4Kids Entertainment]] to be able to receive those cards.** The cards were [[Blueoh-Eyes Shining Dragon]], [[Sorcerer of Dark Magic]], [[Watapon]], and [[Pyramid of Light]]*The movie character, Anubis, does not exist within the anime or manga. *Much against ''Yu%E2%80%9D-Gipremiere-Oh!'' Northaugust-American habits, '''''Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light''''' also featured an unusual amount of violence compared to the anime series:**Contrary to the usual concept of [[Shadow Realm]], the words "Kill" and "Die" are used for the very first time. "Die" is used by [[Anubis]], "Killed" is used by Grandpa Muto's reading of the prophecy.**Violent comments like "''Soon worms will feast your flesh, just as they did on mine''" and "''You will be destroyed''" are used by [[Anubis]]. **No censorship is applied on mummies being dismembered or Yugi's silhouette getting "stabbed" by "[[Peten the Dark Clown]]". **The cards are displayed in their [[TCG]] form, but "[[Dark Magician Girl]13 Press Release]" displays a pentagram (as per the original card) instead of her usual censored 'ruby'.**Pegasus makes a direct reference to "wine spritzers", where alcoholic beverages are usually changed to something else in the dub. (Usually fruit juice.)**Near the end, Kaiba says the word "bull" (short for the swear word). This is as close as the English anime got to a full-on swear word, unless you count "crap" in the same category.*Although the musical score (background instrumentals) was released for the Japanese version of the movie, the score for the English version was never officially released.**[[Joel Douek]], one of the series' composers for the dub, unofficially released these tracks on his YouTube account and FTP.*The movie was parodied by [[LittleKuriboh]] and released online as [[Yu-Gi-Oh: The Abridged Movie]] on June 18, 2007.*A few times during the movie, [[Seto Kaiba]]'s hair glowed green, which could be a homage to the first series.*Near the beginning of the movie, when Solomon is reading the newspaper, we can see that the picture was taken by Norman Grossfeld - the writer and executive producer of the movie.*In the beginning og the movie, a group of archaeologists discovered Anubis's tomb. Their appearance is alike the archaeologists who discovered the [[Millenium Puzzle|Dark Puzzle]] in the first episode of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (first series anime)|first series]].
