==Major EventsSummary==* Using a [[Yami Yugi|Atem]] tells [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] that this is his ace in the hole and his most powerful servant - the "[[Dark Magician (anime)|Dark Magician]]", while as everyone watches, [[Card of SanctityMokuba Kaiba|Mokuba]]admits he'd forgotten Atem still had "Dark Magician" and Yugi thinks that "Dark Magician" is a powerful ally but the most dangerous foe, though he can't win if he doesn't defeat it. (In the dub, Atem tells Yugi that he may have defeated the [[Silent Magician LV0Egyptian God]]s, but defeating "Dark Magician" combinationwill be his true test, and Mokuba comments that Yugi makes both players draw 5 cards and boosts 's up against his most famous [[monster]], suggesting they should have sold tickets to the Duel, while Yugi thinks that he never thought this day would come, but he needs a strategy to wipe out "Dark Magician". It's power to 3500 the only way he can win this Duel and set the Pharaoh free.) [[File:DM224-Atem-deduces-Yugis-Set-monster-is-Marshmallon.png|thumb|left|250px|[[ATKYami Yugi|Atem]]. This enables him to defeat Yamideduces [[Yugi Muto|Yugi's ]] [[Set]] [[monster]] to be "[[Dark MagicianMarshmallon (anime)|Marshmallon]]" .]]Yugi declares his [[turn]] and "[[Draw a card|draws]] from his depleted [[Main Deck|Deck]], then [[Summon]]s a monster [[face-down]]. He notes to himself that "Dark Magician Girl" has 2800 [[ATK]] due to the [[Equip Magic Card]]".* Thanks to [[Book of Secret Arts (anime)|Book of Secret Arts]]", and he doesn't have a monster that can [[destroy]] it right now (in the dub, Yugiknows that somewhere in his Deck, there's a card that can beat "Dark Magician"). He [[Gold SarcophagusBattle position change|changes]]"[[Curse of Dragon (anime)|Curse of Dragon]]" to [[Defense Position]] and ends his turn. [[Tristan Taylor|Tristan]] worries that all Yugi can do is strengthen his defenses, but [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] states that isn't necessarily the case, Yamibetting Yugi's final move face-down monster will give Atem trouble. Atem dwells on the monster, remembering Yugi [[Tribute Summon]]ing "[[Summoned Skull (resurrecting anime)|Summoned Skull]]" by [[Tribute|sacrificing]] "[[Slifer Witch of the Black Forest (anime)|Witch of the Sky DragonBlack Forest]]" with , which allowed him to add "[[Monster RebornMarshmallon (anime)|Marshmallon]]") is thwartedfrom his Deck to his [[hand]]. He's sure Yugi attacks Yami directly with Set "Marshmallon"and notes that when Marshmallon is [[attack]]ed while in face-down Defense Position, it inflicts 1000 [Silent Magician LV0[Effect damage|Silent Magician LV5damage]]" to win the opponent and also can't be destroyed by battle. Atem only has 700 life points left, so if he attacks it, he'll lose the Duel. Yami/the PharaohHe smiles, thinking that his partner's spirit is finally free!strategy won't work on him (in the dub, he has another plan in mind). *Despite being sad <div style = float:right>[[File:DM224-Atem-destroys-Marshmallon.png|right|thumb|250px|Atem [[destroy]]s the Set "Marshmallon" with "[[Pharaoh Thousand Knives (anime)|Thousand Knives]]".]]</div>Declaring his turn, Atemdraws and then [[activate]]s the card he drew, the [[Magic Card]] "[[Thousand Knives (anime)|Thousand Knives]]". As the knives materialize alongside "Dark Magician", [[Marik Ishtar|PharaohMarik]] has to leave them forevernotes that the Pharaoh keeps drawing exactly what he needs at the right time, while [[Yugi MutoIshizu Ishtar|Ishizu]] and his friends wish him believes the best of luck Pharaoh to be like a Dueling god now (in the Spirit Worlddub, Ishizu thinks that the Pharaoh is controlling his Deck with his will). Then, Atem explains that when "Dark Magician" is on his side of the [[Millennium Itemsfield]] fall , "Thousand Knives" will destroy one monster Yugi controls, and he chooses Yugi's face-down monster. The "Thousand Knives" are blasted at the face-down a chasm monster, destroying it and are sealed foreverrevealing its specter - "Marshmallon".*Yugi knows gasps his monster's name and Atem reminds Yugi that its effect won't activate if destroyed while face-down. Then he orders "Dark Magician" to attack "Curse of Dragon" with "[[Attack and effect names in Yu-Gi-Oh!|Dark Magic Attack]]", destroying "Curse of Dragon" in a fiery explosion. Everyone gasps, [[Yami Téa Gardner|Téa]] calling Yugi's name and Tristan pointing out to Joey that all of Yugi's monsters have been destroyed rather than giving him the advantage, while [[Solomon Muto|YamiSolomon]] cheers his grandson on. Mokuba calls "big brother" and [[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba]] will never truly be apartgasps that Atem turned the Duel around in an instant, and thus admitting that "Dark Magician" is able dangerous. (In the dub, Tristan sarcastically asks Joey what happened to cope with his closest friend Yugi's big strategy, and partner leavingSolomon insists Yugi will pull through, urging them to watch. And as they sayMokuba wonders how, "and Kaiba admits it won''The end t be easy, but there is a way out of one adventure this mess, though the only question is if Yugi has the cards and the beginning of another''"..guts to pull it off.)

==Summary==[[File:DM224-Yugi-blocks-Dark-Magicians-piercing-attack.png|left|thumb|250px|Yugi blocks the [[piercing]] [[attack]] of "[[Dark Magician (anime)|Dark Magician]]".]]Atem declares his turn (in the dub he admits he was expecting more) and activates the Magic Card "[[Dark Spear]]", transforming "Dark Magician's" staff into a green lance. Atem explains that while "Dark Spear" is equipped to "Dark Magician" it can inflict damage when attacking a Defense Position monster whose [[DEF]] is lower than the ATK of "Dark Magician". Yugi grits his teeth and Atem declares he's coming, ordering "Dark Magician" to attack "Blockman". "Dark Magician" charges, but Yugi activates a [[Trap Card]], "[[Soul Shield]]", causing an energy bubble to surround "Blockman" and stop "Dark Spear", red lightning sparking at the point of contact. "Dark Magician" is forced back and Yugi explains that by [[Cost|paying]] half his [[Life Points]], the [[effect]] of "Soul Shield" [[negate]]d the [[battle]] and ended Atem's [[Battle Phase]]. His Life Points fall to 400 as he declares the attack of "Dark Magician" didn't reach him, and Atem ends his turn (in the dub, he tells Yugi that was well executed). Joey sighs with relief and Tristan comments that Yugi survived again, but [[Duke Devlin|Duke]] points out that Yugi only has 400 Life Points left. [[Bakura Ryou|Bakura]] adds that Atem only has 700 Life Points, and Solomon agrees that the Duel could ends next time either Duelist attacks successfully, while Joey thinks that he advised Téa to watch until the end, but now even he doesn't feel like watching, admitting to himself that it's tough that Yugi and Atem have to Duel one another (Bakura, Solomon, and Joey's statements are cut from the dub.) [[File:DM224-Yugi-seals-card-in-Gold-Sarcophagus.png|right|thumb|250px|Yugi seals a card in "[[Gold Sarcophagus (anime)|Gold Sarcophagus]]".]]Yugi declares his turn and Atem notes that Yugi's planning something (in the dub, Yugi states that it's time to send "Dark Magician" packing) as he draws. Yugi looks at his card, thinking that he has to take a risk (in the dub, he thinks it's just what he needs). He activates the Magic Card, "[[Gold Sarcophagus (anime)|Gold Sarcophagus]]", and a large double of the [[Millennium Puzzle box]] appears on the field. Atem repeats the card's name to himself as Yugi chooses a card from his Deck and placing it into "Gold Sarcophagus", and if Atem activates the same card, its effect will be negated. A holographic card appears inside "Gold Sarcophagus" and the lid slides shut as Joey wonders what card Yugi put in the "Sarcophagus", and Téa and Tristan both recognize the box as the same one where Yugi kept the Millennium Puzzle. Téa notes that it's what brought Yugi and the other Yugi together, a box of friendship. (In the dub, Téa asks the others what card they think Yugi put in there, and Tristan admits he doesn't know, but wonders what the chances are that the Pharaoh will play the same card. Téa notes that the box on "Gold Sarcophagus" looks just like the one the Millennium Puzzle came from, so the same symbol that brought Yugi and the Pharaoh together might split them apart.) [[File:DM224-Dark-Magician-evades-Gandora.png|left|thumb|250px|"Dark Magician" evades the [[effect]] of "[[Gandora the Dragon of Destruction (anime)|Gandora]]".]][[File:DM224-Gandora-destroyed-by-own-effect.png|right|thumb|250px|"Gandora" is destroyed by its own effect.]]Yugi activates the "Deconstruction" effect of "Blockman", and "Blockman" divides into its component pieces as Yugi explains that since two turns have passed since he played it, "Blockman" splits into [[Block Token (anime)|two monsters]]. Then he sacrifices both of them, thinking that he'll use this monster to destroy "Dark Magician". He tells his monster to come forth - "[[Gandora the Dragon of Destruction (anime)|Gandora the Dragon of Destruction]]". Téa gasps and Joey recognizes the monster (in the dub, Joey admits that wasn't bad). Atem gasps its name (in the dub, he asks Yugi since when has he had that card). Téa remember "Gandora" - the same monster Yugi used to beat [[Yami Bakura]] in the [[World of Memories]]. She remembers "Gandora" destroying all of Yami Bakura's monsters, believing this has signified Yugi will part ways with the other Yugi (in the sub, she believes that since "Gandora" proved Yugi could Duel on his own, it's the perfect monster to defeat the Pharaoh with). Yugi explains that "Gandora" can only remain on the field for one turn (adding in the dub that it's all he'll need) but states that he can pay half his Life Points to [[Banish|remove]] every monster on the field from play. Yugi's Life Points fall to 200 as he activates the "Boundless Giga Rays" effect of "Gandora", but as the red energy rays lance across the field, Atem activates a Trap Card, "[[Dark Illusion (anime)|Dark Illusion]]", and "Dark Magician" vanishes before the rays can strike. Yugi gasps as "Gandora" explodes and Atem explains that the effect of "Dark Illusion" protected "Dark Magician" from card effects that turn. "Dark Magician" reappears and Yugi gasps that even "Gandora" couldn't defeat "Dark Magician". Atem explains that the effect of "Dark Illusion" also allows Yugi to draw a card, and he tells him to do so. Yugi draws, then Sets both the cards in his hand face-down - both a Magic and Trap Card - and ends his turn. Tristan gasps that Yugi has no monsters again while Mokuba gasps to Kaiba that this is bad and Yugi will lose for sure now, prompting a grunt from his brother. Marik comments that Yugi really is just a vessel and can't defeat the Pharaoh. Ishizu says Yugi's name desperately, and Atem thinks to himself that his partner hasn't lost his fighting spirit yet. (In the dub, Kaiba responds to Mokuba, claiming Yugi hasn't necessarily lost yet, given that anything could still happen given how the Duel has already gone. Marik, Ishizu and Atem's thoughts are cut). [[File:DM224-Yugi-Special-Summons-Silent-Magician-LV0.png|thumb|left|250px|Yugi [[Special Summon]]s "[[Silent Magician LV0]]".]]Atem declares his turn and draws, then orders "Dark Magician" to attack Yugi [[Direct attack|directly]]. "Dark Magician" lunges, and Yugi activates a Trap Card, "[[Magician's Circle (anime)|Magician's Circle]]", causing "Dark Magician" to stop with a gasp. Yugi explains that when he's attacked by a [[Spellcaster]]-[[Type]] monster, "Magician's Circle" allows him to [[Special Summon]] a Spellcaster-Type monster from his Deck. Atem notes that it's an anti-"Dark Magician" card, and just as he had expected, Yugi was ready for his strategy. Yugi Summons "[[Silent Magician LV0]]", but "Magician's Circle" also allows Atem to Special Summon a Spellcaster-Type monster from his own depleted Deck, so he Summons "[[Dark Magician Girl (anime)|Dark Magician Girl]]". "Dark Magician Girl" appears, exchanging a nod with "Dark Magician", and Atem continues the battle, ordering "Dark Magician" to attack "Silent Magician". "Dark Magician" leaps into the air and Marik gasps that Yugi's monster only has [[1000 ATK Monster Cards|1000 ATK]], while Tristan yells that he'll lose (in the dub, Marik is the one to state Yugi will lose, and Tristan protests this can't be the end). Everyone watches in horror as "Dark Magician" charges towards "Silent Magician", but Yugi thinks that it' not over yet he's not done yet, as he promised to defeat him in this Duel (in the dub, Yugi also thinks that he has to win the Duel for the Pharaoh's spirit to be free). He activates his Magic Card, "[[Spell Textbook]]", and the "Dark Spear" stops centimeters from "Silent Magician's" face as Yugi explains that he can [[discard]] his hand to draw a card, and activate it immediately if it's a Magic Card. Since his hand is empty, he has nothing to discard, so he prepares to draw, thinking that this card will determine their destiny. [[File:DM224-Dark-Magicians-clash-with-Silent-Magician.png|right|thumb|250px|"Dark Magician" and "[[Dark Magician Girl (anime)|Dark Magician Girl]]" clash with "[[Silent Magician LV5]]".]]He's drawn "[[Card of Sanctity (anime)|Card of Sanctity]]", which he activates, making them both draw until they're each holding six cards in their hands. Atem grimaces as they draw their cards, and then the effect of "Silent Magician" activates, increasing its ATK by 500 for each card the Atem drew. Atem gasps - he's drawn five cards, so "Silent Magician" increases to [[Silent Magician LV5|LV5]] and 3500 ATK. Yugi declares that the attack of "Dark Magician" will continue, and as "Dark Magician" reluctantly hefts the "Dark Spear", Kaiba declares that it has 2800 ATK, and Atem has 700 LP, so Yugi will win if the Battle Phase continues. But "Dark Magician Girl" turns to Atem and nods, and he nods back, then activates a [[Quick-Play Magic Card]] from his hand, "[[Magicians Unite (NOTEanime)|Magicians Unite]]". Everyone watches in shock as Atem explains that since he has at least two Spellcaster-Type monsters on his field, he can treat the two as one monster with 3000 ATK. With 3000 ATK, "Dark Magician" and "Dark Magician Girl" exchange nods and charge together, striking "Silent Magician" with their combined magic, but "Silent Magician" opens her eyes and repels them with her own magic, destroying both "Dark Magician" and "Dark Magician Girl" and reducing Atem to 200 Life Points.  [[File: DM224-Atem-revives-Slifer.png|left|thumb|250px|Atem resurrects "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon (anime)|Slifer the Sky Dragon]]".]]Everyone can only watch, speechless, as Atem tells Yugi that was impressive. Although he was able to save his Life Points, Yugi destroyed his [[Signature card|trump card]], "Dark Magician". They both have 200 Life Points left and their backs are against the wall, so the end is near. As everyone else watches in anticipation, Atem comments that Yugi's use of "Card of Sanctity" turned this Duel around, but now it will allow Atem to turn the tables, as it gave Atem the card to end this Duel. (In the dub, Atem declares that this will be his final turn. Yugi has fought bravely, but unfortunately, this Duel will end with Atem's victory. He thanks Yugi, knowing Yugi tried everything in his power to set him free). He activates the Magic Card "[[Monster Reborn (anime)|Monster Reborn]]" from his hand to resurrect "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon (anime)|Slifer the Sky Dragon]]", and a twister emerges from the ground, clearing to reveal the serpentine red dragon. Everyone watching gasps, Tristan crying "What?!" and Joey asking if "Slifer" has shown up ''now'' (in the dub Joey cries that just brought back an Egyptian God). As "Slifer" coils behind him, Atem reminds them that "Slifer" gains 1000 ATK for steps each card in his hand, so with four cards in his hand, "Slifer" has 4000 ATK. "Slifer" breathes steam and Atem thinks to Yugi that he's won. (In the dub, Atem muses that his spirit will remain in this world, so he and Yugi aren't ready to separate.) [[Yami File:DM224-Yugi-reveals-Monster-Reborn-in-Gold-Sarcophagus.png|right|thumb|250px|Yugi reveals "[[Monster Reborn (anime)|Monster Reborn]]" from "Gold Sarcophagus".]]But Yugi's eyes are closed, and he thinks that he knew his other self was going to do that - if he were Atem, he would have summoned an Egyptian God, too (in the dub, his statements are reversed). "Gold Sarcophagus" begins to glow and lowers to the ground, and Atem gasps as Yugi breaks the seal on "Gold Sarcophagus" (in the dub, Yugiclaims the card he hid inside it is the card Atem just played). The lid of the "Sarcophagus" begins to slide open and Joey gasps that the card is coming out as Kaiba and Mokuba approach the field (in the dub, Joey protests that it's impossible, as there's only one "Slifer the Sky Dragon".) [[File:DM224-Slifer-vanishes.png|left|thumb|250px|"Slifer the Sky Dragon" fades away, its Summon negated.]] The card finishes emerging from the box and the glow around it fades - revealing "Monster Reborn". Atem's eyes widen in surprise as he thinks its name, as Yugi tells him that the effect of Atem's "Monster Reborn" is negated since Yugi put his own in "Gold Sarcophagus", negating the Special Summon of "Slifer". As "Slifer" fades away into smoke, Mokuba gasps that it's disappearing (in the dub, he exclaims that Yugi just defeated "Slifer" for the second time). Joey gasps that "Monster Reborn" could have helped Yugi, and Tristan points out that Yugi decided to seal it away instead (in the dub, Joey wonders how Yugi knew which card to put in "Gold Sarcophagus", and Tristan asks what Joey expected, reminding him that Yugi is the [[King of Games]]). Ishizu realizes that Yugi is sending Atem a message - the souls of the dead should not remain in the world of the living, and this will be a requiem for the Pharaoh's soul to travel to the afterlife. (Ishizu's observations are cut from the dub. Téa believes Yugi must have had this move planned from the beginning, realizing Yugi Mutowould have known exactly what Atem would play after spending so much time with him.)  [[File:DM224-Silent-Magician-defeats-Atem.png|right|thumb|250px|"Silent Magician" attacks Atem [[Direct attack|directly]], ending the Duel.]] Smiling, Atem closes his eyes, thinking that his partner knew what his trump card would be and has surpassed him (in the dub, he thinks that this was the greatest Duel of his life, and it's been an honor. Then he tells Yugi that it's his move). Yugi's hands tremble and Duke states that Atem doesn't have any monsters to defend with, Bakura agreeing that the attack of "Silent Magician" will end the Duel please (in the dub, Duke wonders what Yugi's waiting for, as all he has to do is attack and the Duel is over. Bakura points out that's it; once the Duel ends, the Pharaoh will be released, and they'll never see him again). Téa thinks Yugi's name sadly as Yugi continues to tremble and Atem thinks to Yugi to do it (in the dub, he thinks that it's all right). With tears in his eyes, Yugi orders "Silent Magician" to attack Atem directly. "Silent Magician" leaps into the air and releases a blast of light from her scepter that strikes Atem, and Yugi closes his eyes as the light suffuses the field, while everyone watches speechless. (In the dub, Duke asks if Yugi won the Duel, and Ishizu states he will have if the attack was successful). The light fades, and Atem straightens as his Life Points fall to zero.  [[YuFile:DM224-GiAtem-Oh! consoles- Episode 224#Featured Yugi.png|left|thumb|250px|Atem consoles Yugi.]]"Silent Magician", "Gold Sarcophagus" and Atem's [[DuelDisk]] all fade and Yugi falls to his knees, his tears splashing onto the ground as he sobs. Atem walks over to him with a smile and tells him he's lost, then kneels by Yugi and puts his hand on his shoulder, telling him to stand up, as the winner shouldn't be on his knees, and Atem wouldn't cry if he were Yugi. (In the dub, Atem congratulates Yugi, then kneels by him and tells him that a champion doesn't belong on his knees, as Yugi achieved a great victory for them both.) Still weeping, Yugi tells Atem that he was always a weakling, looking up to Atem and wanting to be strong like him. Atem tells Yugi that he was never a weakling, but has always had a strength unmatched by anyone: Yami a strength called kindness, and that is what Atem has learned from his partner. He tells Yugi vsthat his courage in accepting the [[Battle Ritual]] showed Atem the road he must travel, and they stand up together. Yugi calls Atem his other self again, but Atem tells Yugi that he isn't his other self anymore - Yugi is Yugi, and no-one else it, he is the only Yugi Muto in the world. (In the dub, Yugi sobs that he was focusing so hard on Dueling that he forgot what winning would actually mean. By defeating Atem, he's sent him away for good. Atem reassures Yugi he has opened the door for him, and thanks to Yugi, Atem's spirit can finally be at rest and he'll be back where he belongs. Atem tells Yugi that fate brought them together for a reason, and they fulfilled their destiny. They protected mankind from the return of the [[Shadow Game]]s, and they've both grown tremendously along the way. They stand together, and Yugi tells Atem that he'll miss him. Atem tells Yugi they'll never truly be apart. The gift of kindness Yugi has given him, and the gift of courage he's given Yugi will remain with them and forever bind them together.) Yugi resolutely nods. [[File:DM224-The-door-to-the-afterlife-opens.png|right|thumb|250px|The door to the afterlife opens.]]The Eye of Wdjat in the doorway begins to glow and everyone else gasps, Tristan asking what's happening and Joey pointing out the eye on the door. Ishizu explains that now that the Battle Ritual is complete, the Eye of Wdjat that guards the gate to the spirit world has awakened, and the spirit of the great Pharaoh, which was trapped within the Millennium Puzzle for thousands of years, is now free. Atem walks to stand in front of the door, and Joey, Téa and Tristan gasp (in the dub Téa asks if this is it) and Ishizu instructs the soul of the Pharaoh to tell the Eye of Wdjat the name of the Pharaoh. Atem declares his name (in the dub, he also announces himself as the son of King [[Aknamkanon]]) and light cracks the middle of the door, the Eye of Wdjat's glow fading as it opens and wind blowing through the light behind the door. The light shines onto Atem's face, and he walks towards the light. [[File:DM224-Atems-friends-beg-him-not-to-leave.png|left|thumb|250px|Atem's friends run after him, begging him not to go.]]But Téa, Joey, and Tristan call Yugi's name, sprinting up to the platform, and Atem stops as Yugi too runs in line with the door. Tristan protests that Atem doesn't have to go to the afterlife and begs him not to go (in the dub, Tristan asks if that's how it ends, if Atem thinks he can just show up and change everybody's life and then just leave). He covers his eyes, and Joey and Téa close their eyes to hide their tears, while Yugi wipes his eyes on his sleeve (in the dub, through his tears, Yugi adds that what Tristan means is that they don't want to say goodbye). Téa calls Atem the other Yugi, but then corrects herself to use Atem, stating that she understands his home is on the other side of that light, but for them it will be the barrier that separates them. Tears flow down Téa's cheeks as she explains ''that'' is what she doesn't understand, that their friend will vanish before their eyes after all this time together. (In the dub, Téa agrees with Yugi and admits she knows that walking through that door means Atem's spirit will finally be free, and it's all for the best, but it doesn't seem fair. She feels that they were all just getting to know Atem, and he was just beginning to get to know himself, and now he's being taken away from them. She knows she should be happy for him, but it's hard to do that when you're losing your best friend, and you don't understand why it has to be that way.)  [[File:DM224-Joey-tells-Atem-hell-always-be- Part 4his-friend.png|thumb|Featured Duelright|250px|[[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] tells Atem he'll always be his friend.]] section belowJoey tells Téa she doesn't have to understand, but since they can't, they must burn Atem into their memories so they'll never forget the time they spent with him. Tears begins flowing down his cheeks as he suggests they see Atem on his way to his future, and he smiles. (In the dub, Joey admits there are some things they're not supposed to understand, pointing out his own confusion at what happens half the time as an example. Crying, he states that true friends may be hard to leave, but they're impossible to forget. And even though the Pharaoh's stay wasn't as long as they'd have liked, they're lucky they knew him at all.)Atem thinks "Everyone..." and Téa thinks that she'll never forget him. Joey calls out to Atem again, calling him "Yugi" and telling him that he'll always be Yugi to him even if he's the Pharaoh or Atem, and he'll still be their friend even if a thousand years passes. (In the dub, Atem thinks his thanks to Joey. Téa thinks goodbye to Atem, and wishes him good luck. Joey tells the Pharaoh that he hates to break the news to him, but he's not going anywhere, because everything he's given them is staying right there in their hearts.) Atem turns to them with a smile and agrees, and Yugi tells Atem he'll never forget him (in the dub, Yugi adds that it's like they always say: it's Atem's move).

===Yugi's Final Attack===* During the Duel, Yugi's "[[Gold SarcophagusFile:DM224-Atem-enters-afterlife.png|thumb|left|250px|Atem enters the afterlife.]]Raising a " negates the return of Yami's thumbs up"[[Slifer , Atem walks into the Sky Dragon]]": light, and everyone watches silently. As Atem steps through the card Yugi had placed face-down inside door, his clothing and appearance change back to those of his past self, and beyond him the Sarcophagus was exactly the card Yami just activated to resurrect Sliferspirits of his friends and family from Egypt are waiting: "[[Monster RebornKarim]]"!!: ''', [[Mokuba KaibaShada]]:''' "''No way!

Dust streams from the Millennium Stone, Joey gasping its name, and then it crumbles, falling deep into the ground and winstaking the glowing [[Millennium Items]] with it. Yugi falls gasps after the Millennium Items (in the dub he exclaims that the Millennium Items are gone) and Joey says they should be gone too, Solomon agreeing it's too dangerous here.

Yugi Special Summons "[[Silent Magician LV0]]" (1000/1000) in Attack Position and Atem Special Summons "[[Yami Dark Magician Girl (anime)|Dark Magician Girl]]" (2000/1700) in Attack Position.

Yugi has no cards in his hand, so he shuffles his Deck and draws and activates the Magic Card "[[Card of Sanctity (anime)|Card of Sanctity]]", making both players draw cards until they have six cards in their [[hand]]. Yugi draws six cards, and Atem draws five cards. The effect "Silent Magician LV0" activates as Atem drew a card, increasing its LV by one and its [[ATK]] by 500 for each card Atem drew ("Silent Magician LV0" → "Silent Magician LV5": 200 1000 → 0 3500/1000). As Atem controls two or more Spellcaster-Type monsters, he activates the Quick-Play Magic Card "[[Life PointsMagicians Unite (anime)|Magicians Unite]]", treating two Spellcaster-Type monsters he controls as one monster with 3000 ATK. He chooses "Dark Magician" and "Dark Magician Girl". The attack continues and "Silent Magician LV5" destroys "Dark Magician" and "Dark Magician Girl" (Atem: 700 → 200 LP). Yugi wins.

==Trivia==* In Atem activates the English dub, when Yugi Muto reveals Magic Card "[[Monster Reborn (anime)|Monster Reborn]]", selecting a passage monster in which Ishizu Ishtar says either player's Graveyard and Special Summoning it. He Special Summons "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon (anime)|Slifer the Sky Dragon]]" from his Graveyard (X000/X000) in Attack Position. The effect of "Slifer" would increase its ATK and DEF by 1000 for each card in Atem's hand, and Atem has four cards in his hand ("Slifer the Sky Dragon": X000 → 4000/X000 → 4000), but Yugi activates the effect of "Gold Sarcophagus" as Atem activated a card with the same name as the card Yugi removed to activate it, revealing the "Monster Reborn"message he removed to negate the pharaoh, that activation of Atem's "Monster Reborn" and prevent "Slifer the dead doesn't belong in this worldSky Dragon" has been cut offfrom being Special Summoned.

* This may be the only episode in which somebody is clearly playing a deck with more than 40 cards, because Yugi Muto still had cards left in his deck after it had been thinned by 40 cards.**Yugi<u>''s Deck had been thinned heavily due to the anime effect of two [[Card of Sanctity]] for a total of 12 cards (Yugi's Deck 28).**He drew 2 cards each by the effects of [[Pot of Greed]] and [[Awakening from Beyond]] (Turn 26: Yugi's Deck 24).**Various card effects thinned his Deck by 1 card each ([[Green Gadget]], [[Ties of the Brethren]], [[Soul Rope]], [[Witch of the Black Forest]], [[Gold Sarcophagus]], [[Dark Illusion (anime)]], [[Magician's Circle]] and [[Spell Textbook]]) (Yugi's Deck 16).</u><br />***The above, combined with the cards he drew at the start of the Duel (5 cards) and his normal draws at the start of each of his turns "Silent Magician LV5" attacks Atem directly (11 turnsAtem: 200 → 0 LP), would have [[Deck Out|Decked Yugi out]] at the beginning of his final [[Draw Phase]], which would count as an automatic win for [[Yami Yugi|Yami]].
