The musical score and the sound effects are all completely brand new and Americanmovie was also adapted as an ani-manga, ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie Ani-madeManga]]'', and there are no original a Japanese music and sound effects in the English dub novel, ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters: Pyramid of Light (novel)|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters: Pyramid of the movieLight]]''.
==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|duel]]. The stakes are the following: if Pegasus wins, he gets Kaiba's three "[[Blue -Eyes White Dragon(anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragons]]s"; 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, so where did the other card come from?not two...
Meanwhile, Yugi Muto and [[Téa Gardner]], seeking refuge from a mob of duelists wanting to face Yugi for the Egyptian Gods, stumble into Domino Museum, where they discover a new attraction on display called the '''[[Pyramid of Light''']], which looks a little like the Millennium Puzzle. Yugi's grandpa, [[Solomon Muto]] (who also happens to be visiting the museum), reads an inscription on the side of a sarcophagus (''The eye that sees what's yet to come, its vision shall be fulfilled, unless blinded by events predetermined, thus light & shadows both be killed''), triggering a strange vision in Yugi's mind concerning his Millennium Puzzle, the Pyramid of Light, Anubis, and Kaiba. After he wakes up, he finds the pyramid stolen, the sarcophagus now empty, and [[Mokuba Kaiba|Mokuba]] standing outside. Mokuba says that Kaiba wants Yugi to bring his [[Duel Disk|duel disk]] to the KaibaCorp Duel Dome immediately.
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 most powerful monsters - "[[Andro Sphinx (anime)|Andro Sphinx]]" and "[[Spinx Sphinx Teleia (anime)|Sphinx Teleia]]"! 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 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]]'s is not done finished yet. With the Pyramid gone, he summons combines his last trick up his sleeve fallen Sphinxes into a new, even stronger monster - "[[Theinen the Great Sphinx (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 and , 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]].]]It is unclear whether the movie is considered canon to the ''Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light'' creates some mild continuity problems within anime. Despite the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' supposed prominance of [[mangaAnubis]]/[[anime]] series by inserting the character of Anubis into the show's history. The character is mentioned nowhere else in canon; despite his supposed prominence in the [[Pharoah Pharaoh Atem|PharoahPharaoh]]'s past, he does not appear during never appeared outside of this movie—despite the "[[Dawn of the Duel]]" arc, though their encounter could easily take place prior to 's exploration of the events shown in that storylinePharaoh's past.
The scene at the start of the movie showing Yugi's completion of the Millennium Puzzle differs from that seen debuted in the original manga, but the ''Duel Monsters'' anime never showed the puzzle's completion, meaning that the movie does not contradict anything within the show itself with this scene; the original United States between episodes [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 138|138]] and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (Toei anime)- Episode 139|Toei anime139]] also showed the puzzle's completion happening under different circumstances.
In the film, one of the video screens shows Yugi and his three [[Egyptian God]] monsters in the sky, which is footage taken from Yugi's clash with the [[Great Leviathan]] in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 183|Episode 183]]. While this could indicate the movie takes place after [[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 184|Episode 184]] (the final episode of the [[Waking the Dragons]] arc), it is likely just footage being reused (since Episode 183 had already aired in Japan prior to this movie's premiere).

*Since a [[DARK]] [[Fiend]]-[[Type]] [[monster]] with 500 or less [[ATK]] was [[destroyed by battle]], [[Seto Kaiba|Seto]] can [[activate]] "[[Deck Destruction Virus]]". Now whenever a Dark Fiend-type monster with at most 500 ATK is destroyed by battle, this card will force Yami Yugi to send ten random cards The Life Point counters used in the main Duel of the film are the same used in his Deck to the Graveyard. Since this just happened, "Deck Destruction Virus" [[send]]s 10 random cards from [[Yami Yugi]]'s [[Deck]] to his [[Graveyard]]original Japanese series. (Yami Yugi's Deck: 20)
*(NOTE: Here and in the real gameIn Japanese, "[[Peten the Dark Clown]]" is a [[Spellcaster]]-[[Type]] Monster) but the cardPharaoh's text lists needing a DARK Fiend-Type monster to be destroyed past takes place 3000 years ago. In the English translation, it instead takes place in battle3000 B.C. (5000 years ago).
*Thanks The "Dagger of Fate" was a plot device added to the English dub to give meaning to "[[Peten Yugi throwing it at the eye inside of the Millennium Puzzle. In the Dark Clown]]'s" [[effect]]Japanese version, Seto removes it from play the dagger was never mentioned at all before that scene and Yugi just needed to find a hard object to [[Special Summon]] another "[[Peten throw at the Dark Clown]]" (500 [[ATK]] / 1200 [[DEF]]) from his [[Deck]] in [[Defense Position]]eye and break it.
*[[Activate]]s "[[Card of Demise]]"When the duel between Seto and Pegasus begins, [[Draw a card|drawing]] until he has 5 the latter is shown with 4 cards in his [[hand]]. 5 [[turn]]s after "[[Card of Demise]]'s" activation, [[Seto Kaiba|Seto]] must [[discard]] his entire [[hand]].

*Activates When Kaiba has his computer run a simulation of a duel between him and Yugi, Yugi is listed as using "[[Paladin of White Dragon Ritual]]", [[Tribute(anime)|Tributing]] "[[Des Feral Imp]]" to [[Ritual Summon]] "[[Paladin of White Dragon]]" (1900 [[ATK]] / 1200 [[DEF]]) from his [[hand]] in [[Attack Position]].
*Uses When "[[Paladin of White Dragon]]" to [[attack]] and [[destroy]] "[[Magician's Valkyria]]" Familiar Knight ([[Yami Yugianime)|YamiFamiliar Knight]]: 3500 > 3200 [[Life Points]])" is attacked, the card underneath is reversed.
*Activates In the English version, when Yami Yugi Summons "[[Paladin of White DragonKing's Knight (anime)|King's Knight]]", the entire screen is mirrored (causing the cards of "King'sKnight" [[effect]], tributing it to [[Special Summon]] and "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]Queen's Knight" (3000 [[ATK]] / 2500 [[DEF]]to also be mirrored) from his [[Deck]] in [[Attack Position]].
*In the Japanese version of the movie, when Yami Yugi Summons "[[SetMagician's Valkyria (anime)|Magician's Valkyria]]" and attacks "Peten the Dark Clown", he is briefly shown to have "Magician's Valkyria" with "[[Premature Burial (anime)|Premature Burial]]", "[[Mage Power (anime)|Mage Power]]" and 2 [[face-down]] cards. However, that's the [[field]]he has 1 turn later, when he revives "Magician's a cardValkyria" to face "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".
*In the English version of the movie, during Yami Yugi's final turn after his [[EquipDraw Phase]]s , "[[Magician's ValkyriaExchange (anime)|Exchange]]" with and "[[Mage PowerDiffusion Wave-Motion (anime)|Diffusion Wave-Motion]]". Now as long as "Magician's Valkyria" is equipped with "Mage Power", it will gain 500 are visible in his [[ATKhand]] . In the Japanese version of the movie, it was fixed to show "Exchange" and "[[DEF]] for every [[Double Spell Cards(later anime)|Double Spell]] and [[Trap Card]] on Yami Yugi's side of the [[field]]" instead.
*Since Yami Yugi has 2 (When Anubis activates "[[Premature BurialInferno Tempest (anime)|Inferno Tempest]]" and "[[Mage PowerFallout]]")to make Yami Yugi and Seto Kaiba drop all of their cards, 2 copies of "[[Magician's Valkyria]]The Winged Dragon of Ra" gains + 1000 [[ATK]]/[[DEF]] ("[[Magicianare shown flying out of Yami Yugi's Valkyria]]": 1600 > 2600 [[ATK]] / 1800 > 2800 [[DEF]])Duel Disk.
*[[Set]]s 2 Several cardsshown in the movie do not have the proper font for their card names when their cards are played.
*Thanks When Seto and Pegasus draw due to "[[Mage PowerCard of Sanctity (anime)|Card of Sanctity]]", "[[Dark Magician's ValkyriaGirl (anime)|Dark Magician Girl]]" gets a further + 1000 can be see in Pegasus's [[ATKhand]]/instead of "[[DEF]] boost Toon Dark Magician Girl ("[[anime)|Toon Dark Magician's ValkyriaGirl]]": 2600 > 3600 [[ATK]] / 2800 > 3800 [[DEF]]).
*Uses The incorrect typeface is used for the names of several cards, including "[[Magician's Valkyria]]" to [[attack]] and "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]Toon Summoned Skull".
===Ruling errors===*When [[Seto KaibaJoey Wheeler|SetoJoey]] activates "challenges a group of [[Attack Guidance ArmorDuelist]]" s wanting to redirect "have a go at [[Magician's ValkyriaYugi Muto|Yugi]]'s" attack to "and his [[Peten the Dark ClownEgyptian God]]cards, the first challenger Summons ".

*Thanks to When Kaiba Summons "[[Peten the Dark ClownBlue-Eyes Shining Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon]]'s" [[effect]], Seto removes he explained that it from play to gains 300 ATK points for every Dragon-Type monster he has in his Graveyard, and stated that he had five, being "[[Special SummonRare Metal Dragon (anime)|Rare Metal Dragon]] another ", 3 "[[Peten the Dark ClownBlue-Eyes White Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" (500 [[, and "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon". 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]] / 1200 of "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" should have been 4800, not 4500. This would also mean that when "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" attacked and destroyed "[[DEF]]Sorcerer of Dark Magic (anime) from his [[Deck]] in [[Defense Position|Sorcerer of Dark Magic]]", Yami Yugi's Life Points would have dropped to 0, losing the Duel.
===Other errors===*Draws When Yugi uses Kaiba's "Blue-Eyes White DragonReturn from the Different Dimension", he mentions that Kaiba wanted "a perfect victory", but Kaiba never actually said that—he only thought it.
*In the beginning of the movie, it is stated that Yugi defeated [[Activate]]s "[[Polymerization]]": Seto fuses "[[Blue-Eyes White DragonKaiba]]" on to win the finals of the [[field]] with 2 [[Blue-Eyes White DragonBattle City]]Duel Monsters tournament.

==Trivia==*Uses In contrast to dubbed episodes of the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime, ''Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light'' featured substantially more violence:** Contrary to the usual concept of [[Shadow Realm]], the words "kill" and "die" are used. "Die" is used by [[Sorcerer Anubis]], "Killed" is used by Solomon 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 being "stabbed" by "[[Peten the Dark MagicClown (anime)|Peten the Dark Clown]]". ** The cards are displayed in their [[TCG]]form, but " to [[attackDark Magician Girl (anime)|Dark Magician Girl]] " displays a pentagram (as per the original card) instead of her usual censored "ruby".** "[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate DragonInjection Fairy Lily (anime)|Injection Fairy Lily]]" also rides a syringe, as opposed to the rocket she rides in the dubbed anime.** 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 dub got to a swear word, unless the word "crap" is considered in the same category.
*Thanks to [[Sorcerer of Dark Magic]]'s" [[effect]]A few times during the movie, [[Seto Kaiba|Seto]]'s [[monster]]s lose [[ATK]] equal hair glowed green, which could be a homage to the number of [[Spellcaster]]-[[Type]] monsters in [[Yami Yugi]]'s [[Graveyard]] × 500Toei anime.
*With 3 monsters ("[[Magician's Valkyria]]"In the newspaper Solomon reads near the start of the movie, "a picture is credited to [[Dark Magician GirlNorman Grossfeld]]" —the writer and "[[Dark Magician]]"), Seto's monsters lose 3 × 500 = 1500 [[ATK]] ("[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]": 4500 > 3000 [[ATK]])executive producer of the movie.

*"Though elements of the ''[[Sorcerer Dawn of Dark Magicthe Duel]]" destroys "'' story arc from season 5 of the show are used, the plot of this film greatly mirrors that of the ''[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate DragonWaking the Dragons]]" '' story arc from season 4. An ancient enemy arises and uses the Pharaoh's power against him in some way, they possess a powerful artifact and use its card counterpart to surround the field and prevent any interference, Yugi is prevented from using the God Cards until the end, after the enemy loses the final duel from a combined attack of 3 Legendary Monsters they take the form of or combine with a great beast to attack Yugi and his friends ([[Seto Joey even uses some of the same monsters to fight both), the enemy uses Pegasus to manipulate Kaiba|Seto]]: 2300 > 2100 [[Life Points]])when he seeks him out for answers, Pegasus later shows up to provide background information and other answers for Yugi and/or his friends, and Yugi and the Pharaoh are separated for a sizable portion of the story and are only reunited once the enemy suffers some form of defeat and loses what was originally going to be the source of power for their attack on the world.

The Movie: Pyramid of Light''''' hit theaters 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 Yugi]] already returned to the Spirit World, the [[Millennium Items]] were sealed away forever, and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GXcom]] 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 (original)|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-edition promotional cards alongside the tickets bought for the movie. To further stretch the card game tie-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 payment to be sent to [[4Kids Entertainment]] to be able to receive those cards.** The cards were "[[Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon]]", "[[Sorcerer of Dark Magic]]", "[[Watapon]]", and "[[Pyramid of Light]]".*The movie character, Anubis, does not exist within the anime or manga (outside of this movie). *Much against ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' North-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]]" 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%E2%80%9Cyu-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 [[Yugi-Gioh-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 %E2%80%9D- the writer and executive producer of the movie.*In the beginning of the movie, a group of archaeologists discovered Anubis's tomb. Their appearance is similar to the archaeologists who discovered the [[Millenium Puzzle|Dark Puzzle]] in the first episode of the [[Yupremiere-Giaugust-Oh! (first series anime)|first series13 Press Release]].
