The '''Egyptian God Cards''', also known in Japanese as the '''Three Legendary Gods''' ({{Ruby|三|さん}}{{Ruby|幻|げん}}{{Ruby|神|しん}}, ''Sangenshin''), are a series of powerful monster cards in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' that serve as a focal point in the series' manga, the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|anime]], and numerous video games. They are all [[Level 10]] [[DIVINE]] [[Divine-Beast]] monsters, consisting of "[[Obelisk Slifer the TormentorSky Dragon]]" (used by [[Seto Kaiba]]), "[[Slifer Obelisk the Sky DragonTormentor]]" (used by [[Yami Yugi]]), and "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra]]" (used by [[Yami Marik]]), and their fused form, "[[Holactie the Creator of Light]]" (used by [[Pharaoh Atem]]). The Egyptian God cards are the only Divine-Beast cards and, along with "Horakty", are the only DIVINE cards in the ''[[OCG]]''/''[[TCG]]''.
==Design==
The Egyptian God cards are based on the three Ancient Egyptian divine beasts whose likenesses surround the [[Millennium Puzzle]] on the [[Tablet of Lost Memories]]. Their names are derived from the deities or items featured in [[wikipedia:Egyptian mythology|Egyptian mythology]]. According to [[Ishizu Ishtar]], they are believed to represent the gods in polarities of the tablet of memories universe, while [[Pharaoh Atem]] regards them by their respective titles.
"[[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]" is named after an [[wikipedia:Obelisk|obelisk]], a tall, four-sided, monument with a pyramid-like shape on top, represents the polarity of light and dark, and is regarded as the "god of the earth". The Japanese name of "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon (original)|Slifer the Sky Dragon]]", "The Sky Dragon of Osiris", is named after [[wikipedia:Osiris|Osiris]], the Egyptian god of life, death, and fertility, represents the polarity of good and evil,and is regarded as the "god of the sky". (The name "Slifer" is named after Roger Slifer, the producer of the English language adaptation of the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime.) "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (original)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]" is named after [[wikipedia:Ra|Ra]], the Egyptian god of the sun, and represents the polarity of heaven and earth.
"Holactie, the Creator of Light", the fused form of the Egyptian God cards, is named after "Ra-Horakty", the combination of the Egyptian deities Ra and [[wikipedia:Horus|Horus]], who are both depicted with a falcon's head.

Yami Marik and Joey Dueled in the semi-finals, where Yami Marik revealed "The Winged Dragon of Ra's" [[The Winged Dragon of Ra (Phoenix Mode)|Phoenix Mode]] and burned Joey, wounding so badly that he fell unconscious before he could finish the Duel. In the next Duel, Kaiba and Yami Yugi battled each other and Summoned their respective Egyptian Gods. Eventually, both "Obelisk" and "Slifer" battled with an equal match of 4000 [[ATK]] and destroyed each other in a [[Double KO]], triggering a vision of the Duel between [[Seto|Priest Seto]] and Pharaoh Atem in Ancient Egypt, and a vision of their two Gods petrified. Yami Yugi was eventually able to win the Duel with "[[Dark Paladin]]", claiming "Obelisk".
During the final Duel against Yami Marik, Yami Yugi was able to Summon "Slifer" and "Obelisk", but it was revealed that "Ra" was stronger than the other God cards and defeated "Slifer" with ease. Yami Yugi was forced to sacrifice "Obelisk" to survive. Using the combined forces of "[[Dark Magician]]" and "[[Dark Magician Girl]]", (via "[[Magical Dimension]]" in the manga and "[[Ragnarok]]" in the anime), Yami Yugi destroyed "Ra" while Yami Marik was infused to it via its Point-to-Point Transfer effect. The original Marik regains control from his darker half, destroys it by [[surrender]]ing the Duel, and gave "Ra" to Yami Yugi.
