It first aired in Japan on January 15, 2002 and in the United States on October 4, 2003. This episode and the parts 2 and 3 two were first released as "'''Dark Rage'''" in the United States. ==Duel RecapSummary==* 3rd Before the next Duel of , [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] brings up the dream he had about all his friends when he was knocked out in his duel against [[Odion]]. [[Battle CityMai Valentine|Mai]] Quarter-Finalsasks him if she was in this dream but out of embarrassment, Joey lies and says she was not. Mai interprets this as Joey not caring about her.* The next Duel takes place is Mai against [[Marik Ishtar|Marik]] who is now [[Yami Marik]]. Yami Marik is in Odion's room about to kill him (send him to the [[Shadow Realm]]in the dub), until he hears his name called out to the Duel. When Yami Marik turns the Duel into a [[Shadow Game]] and [[Yami Yugi]] tries to warn Mai of the dangers but she refuses to listen. Due to the nature of the Shadow Game, when a monster is destroyed, its owner will lose pieces of their memory: [[Mai Valentine|. This causes Mai]] loses to forget about [[Téa Gardner|Téa]].* Mai gets hold of "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (original)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]", but can't use it because her blood is not part of the Royal Egyptians and therefore, can't read the ancient text on the card.

==Differences in adaptations==
* The dub cuts a scene where a bird's-eye view of the Battle Ship is shown as the announcer's voice says that the duelists for round three will be chosen in fifteen minutes.
* Scenes of Odion and Joey being struck by the lightning created by "The Winged Dragon of Ra" are added over Joey's scene in the US version.
* A shot of Joey clenching his fist is cut from the US version.
* In the Japanese Version, Yami Marik wants to kill Odion. In the dub, he wants to send him to the shadow realm.
* A scene of Marik pulling a dagger out of the Millennium Rod and holding the point of the Rod's dagger over Odion's face is cut from the US version.
* The dagger on the Millennium Rod is digitized out, and the Rod is made longer to copy its length with the dagger. It now has a flat bottom for this scene since the dagger was cut out.
* When Marik is announced as Mai's opponent, Roland is mistakenly shown in the photo screen of Rishid's room holding the #4 ball, which is Mai's number. Roland is seen holding the #5 ball in the dub.
* A shot of Kaiba thinking he'll watch the power of "Ra" is cut from the US version.
* A spilt-screen of Mai and Yami Marik replaces a shot of Joey in the dub.
* The words "DRAW TWO" on Yami Marik's duel disk is replaced with the number "4000".
* A close-up of Kaiba is cut.
* Cut from the US version is a short scene of Tristan saying this is like Yugi and Pegasus's Duel.
* A shadow version of Téa being sliced in two by "Unfriendly Amazon" is cut.
* The words "TO BE CONTINUED" are added at the end of the dub episode.
==Errors==
* Duke Devlin is first seen in Odion's room close to Tristan, but then in the scene when Joey understands why he was able to stand up in time to win, Duke isn't next to Tristan when it shows "all" of the characters in Odion's room in a line. However, Duke is there in a following overhead scene after Joey explains his dream.
* In the Japanese version, Roland holds up Mai's number ball of 4 when announcing her opponent is Marik Ishtar, who is actually Duelist number 5.
