==Summary==
Multiple dimensions begin disintegrating in multiple spirals as they are bathed in golden light. Within one of these dimensions, the [[KaibaCorp space station]] rests suspended above [[Earth (planet)|Earth]]. Inside, [[Seto Kaiba (manga)|Seto Kaiba]] observes the [[Millennium Puzzle (manga)|Millennium Puzzle]], suspended in a force field, but with two pieces missing.
[[File:Millennium Shrine excavation.png|thumb|250px|left|The [[Shrine of the Millennium Stone|Shrine of the Underworld]] being excavated.]]
When Yugi and his friends return to class, they spot a student sitting in the corner. They think that they remember him being in their class all year, but struggle to think of his name, before Tristan finally recalls it as [[Aigami]].
After school, Yugi is walking home with Joey and Téa. Joey has had his Duel Disk returned to him. As Yugi looks through his Deck, with "[[Dark Magician (anime)|Dark Magician]]" on the top, he thinks of [[Dark Yugi (manga)|Atem]] and pauses. Joey asks him what is wrong and although Yugi initially insists it is nothing, Joey and Tea realize he is thinking of Atem. Joey reassures Yugi that it is impossible to forget Atem after the time they spent together. Yugi reflects on the [[Ceremonial Battle (manga)|Ceremonial Battle]], remembering himself sealing "[[Monster Reborn (anime)|Monster Reborn]]" in "[[Gold Sarcophagus (anime)|Gold Sarcophagus]]" to stop "[[Slifer the Sky Dragon (manga)|Slifer the Sky Dragon]]" before defeating Atem with "[[Silent Magician LV0|Silent Magician]]", Atem walking through the Doorway to the Underworld and the [[Millennium Items (manga)|Millennium Items]] falling into the depths of the Earth, with the Puzzle shattering once again as it vanished.
[[File:Aigami materializes the cube.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Aigami]] produces the [[Quantum Cube]].]]
The Duel is revealed to have taken place in a virtual reality on board the KaibaCorp space station. One of [[KaibaCorp researchers|Kaiba's scientists]] hands him a bottle of water and comments on how well the Duel Links Solid Vision system is performing, but though Kaiba agrees with their assessment of their technology, he is not happy. He deems the Duel imperfect, because despite the accuracy and fine-tuning of his recreation of Atem, it was not the real thing. In frustration, he crushes the bottle in his hand and tosses it aside, vowing that he will find Atem and that he cannot hide forever. Mokuba contacts the space station, informed Kaiba that they have found it - and the pieces of the Millennium Puzzle can be seen in the shaft at the excavation.
[[File:Dark Side of Dimensions food vendor scene.png|thumb|250px|left|[[Anzu Mazaki(manga)|Téa]], [[Ryuji Otogi (manga)|Duke]], [[Hiroto Honda (manga)|Tristan]], Yugi and [[Ryo Bakura (manga)|Bakura]] at [[Otogi's cafe|Devlin's cafe]].]]
At the mall, Yugi, Téa, Tristan and Bakura are sitting at [[Otogi's cafe|Devlin's cafe]], being served by [[Ryuji Otogi (manga)|Duke Devlin]]. Yugi reads news of Scud and his gang's disappearance, and he, Téa and Duke note that it is only one of many cases of people mysteriously disappearing recently. Bakura mentions that the person responsible could be watching them, but Téa accredits that paranoia to [[Bakura fanclub|Bakura's fanclub]], who are spying on him from behind a pillar, much to Bakura's exasperation. Nearby, an attendant wearing a dog costume hands out a balloon to a little girl. Tristan repairs Joey's Duel Disk at the table, which Duke remarks is brave of him, as he could get blamed for breaking it.
Back at the mall, the blue-robed man calls to Diva a few times before Aigami takes notice. He tries to talk him out of the revenge he knows he is considering, stating that it is not the target's fault or what their mentor would have wanted. Aigami replies that it is not revenge, but justice; there is nothing wrong with eradicating evil, least of all him. He watches Yugi and Bakura as Téa tries to break Joey and Tristan up. The man, Mani, then senses something, and he gasps that "it" has been found, just as they had feared, and he and Aigami teleport away.
In Kul Elna, Mokuba and [[Isono (manga)|Roland]] are waiting for Kaiba, who soon arrives in his [[Blue-Eyes White Dragon jet]], leaping out before it can even hit the ground. The group enter the Shrine of the Underworld and Kaiba notes that this was the location of the Ceremonial Battle. He and Mokuba walk towards the disassembled Millennium Puzzle, whose pieces are being scanned by a computer. Mokuba asks how Kaiba plans on reconstructing the Puzzle, when it took Yugi eight years to do so and Kaiba notes that Yugi was only a child when he did it. Kaiba orders his staff to move it as soon as possible, as he plans to reassemble it today, but he is informed that it takes 30 minutes to disable the security system for the Millennium Puzzle's lock. To pass the time Kaiba says he shall have a Duel, revealing that he is aware of Aigami's presence among the crowd, and Kaiba calls him by his other name, "Diva". Aigami emerges from the crowd, and is impressed that Kaiba knows his real name. Kaiba asks how he is in Egypt, examining footage of "Aigami" having been in [[Domino City (manga)|Domino City]] just minutes ago.
As Diva advances on Kaiba and Mani emerges from the crowd with four other children, one of the KaibaCorp suits sneaks up behind him, putting a gun to Diva's back. Diva briefly feigns surprise, but he mockingly lectures the man as he introduces them to the Plana, as his ghostly followers begin to teleport in. His Quantum Cube materializes above his hand again and, as he did with Scud, he slowly disintegrates the man who threatened him, explaining that he is being sent to another dimension that he may not enjoy. After witnessing this, the group of workers flee, leaving just Kaiba, Mokuba, and some KaibaCorp employees facing Diva, Mani, and the Plana.
Diva snaps that he is still standing, but the Duel is interrupted, as the computer finishes scanning the pieces of the Millennium Puzzle. Mokuba hooks the case containing the Puzzle to the KaibaCorp helicopter and flies away, taunting Diva, but Diva teleports up onto the case and with a glowing purple hand, reaches through the glass. Mokuba sees what Diva is doing and headbutts him, knocking him off the case. Kaiba concludes that he has what he needs and departs in his jet, but Diva watches the pair leave with a smile, clenching the hand that he used to reach into the case.
Back at the shrine, Mani notices the pit that the Puzzle had been excavated from is glowing, so he teleports into it and finds the prongs of the [[Millennium Ring(manga)|golden spikes Millennium Ring]] protruding from the rubble]]...
Joey wakes up on the top of a flying KaibaCorp blimp, where Kaiba is patronizingly towering over him. He taunts him about the new Duel Disk, saying that a commoner (凡骨 ''bonkotsu'') like him will never be able to afford it and teasingly asks if he wants it (in the dub, he merely tells him that he is not worthy). Joey falls off the blimp, but wakes from his dream, during the graduation rehearsal at school, falling out of his chair. On the stage, Yugi practices his speech, while Aigami stands at the back of the hall, only visible to the girl, who has just arrived. She refers to Aigami as "brother" and asks if he fought Kaiba. He comments on the resurrection of the Pharaoh, intending to prevent this by removing his vessel from the equation, but the girl protests that he is going too far. Aigami hands her something and instructs her to keep it safe, and the girl disappears.
At Kame Game, Yugi is preparing his Deck for the Duel tournament, when the girl enters the store. She notices the [[Millennium Puzzle box]], which Yugi had been keeping his cards in and comments that is pretty. Yugi tidies it away and informs her that it is not for sale. The girl shows him the Plana Realm, explaining that she and Diva are students of [[Shadi Shin]]. As she returns him to the store, she states that her name is Sera and she begs Yugi to save her brother. When Yugi comes to, Sera has vanished, but Yugi feels something inside the Puzzle Box. He opens it to find a piece of the Millennium Puzzle.
[[File:Kaiba observing the near-complete puzzle.png|thumb|250px|Kaiba observing the near-complete [[Millennium Puzzle (manga)|Millennium Puzzle]].]]
At the space station, the computer has almost finished reassembling the Millennium Puzzle, but reports that two pieces are missing. At first, Kaiba says that this is impossible, but then he realizes that Diva must have taken them when he put his hand through the glass.
Bakura talks about how he stowed away in the cargo of a ship in Egypt when he was young, while his father searched for the Millennium Ring, but he stops talking, unsure why he is sharing this information. Aigami uses his powers on Bakura, who cries out that he does not want to remember. A group of Plana children appear and Joey tries to get Bakura to leave with him, but Bakura is paralyzed by his own trauma. Joey tries to punch Aigami, but Aigami sends Joey to another dimension, where he finds himself in a street, with other people walking past him. Aigami explains that this world is being sustained by Joey's memories, and that as soon as Joey forgets something it will disappear. Joey seems to take advantage of this and recreates a street he rides his bicycle down at the beginning of the movie, complete with Sanpei splashing a bucket of water on him like before. However, the water vanishes before it can hit him, and the people he recreated pay no attention to him. Aigami asks if Joey really thinks he can win a battle of wits with him, and decides to start erasing Joey's memories, causing the world to rapidly dissolve around him . (in In the dub, the process happens naturally. ; Aigami instead asks Joey how much he truly remembers; : his first breath? Every , every scent, every touch? His memories are fleeting and fragile.).
At the Kame Game Yugi is wondering where everyone is, Tristan arrives and informs him that he has found Joey's bicycle and Duel Disk abandoned, something Joey would never do. He takes Yugi on his motorbike to search for Joey and to meet with Téa.
Aigami approaches Bakura, who is cringing and panicking on the ground. Aigami laughs and asks if Bakura does not remember. He conjures a flashback, where Shadi sits with the group of children who would become the Plana, including Diva, Sera and Mani. The [[Millennium Stone|Tablet of the Pharaoh's Memories]] is nearby, with the Millennium Ring and [[Millennium ScaleScales (manga)|Scales]] inside it. Shadi explains that three of the Millennium Items are weak to evil, three represent justice and that the Millennium Puzzle contains both justice and evil. He says to Aigami that he is on the same level as the person destined to solve the Millennium Puzzle. Shadi states that when the seven Millennium Items are gathered the door to a better world will open and that the children may travel there, because they have been chosen. The young [[Aigami]] thinks that he wants to go to that world and says that he is not afraid of anything, because of his friends and family, but Shadi replies that that it is his fear. (In the dub, this conversation does not discuss the Items or the spirit world; Shadi instead tells the children about the negativity of fear and the prophecy of the power of the Plana.)
[[File:Ryo Bakura gets the Millennium Ring.png|thumb|250px|left|Bakura acquires the [[Millennium Ring (manga)|Millennium Ring]].]]
Mr. Bakura enters the chamber and he is excited to see the Millennium Ring, having spent his life searching for it. He offers Shadi a bag of money for the item. Shadi explains that the Item is not for sale, but that he can put it on, so he can be [[Millennium Item trials|tested]] to see if he is worthy (in the dub, he further tells Mr. Bakura that he has been warned of the dangers). Bakura's father puts the Ring on, ecstatic at the feeling, but after a few seconds shadows in the shape of snakes erupt from the Ring and blast him across the chamber away from the Item, prompting the young Bakura to emerge from his hiding place to help him. He runs to his father, who begs him to get the Ring. Bakura picks it up and it erupts with a dark purple light and the points begin to point towards his chest.
[[File:Yugi VS Kaiba - DSOD.png|thumb|250px|Kaiba and Yugi about to Duel.]]
Kaiba advances to the field to Duel Yugi for the two pieces. He states that his goal is to bring back "the other Yugi"," whom he has unfinished business with. He does not expect the Duel to take long, as he is only Dueling the regular Yugi. Kaiba places the Millennium Puzzle in the center of the field, where it floats in a beam of light. Yugi tries to tell Kaiba that Atem is gone, but he pays no attention and they begin their Duel.
Yugi takes the first turn, Summoning "[[Marshmacaron (anime)|Marshmacaron]]" in [[Defense Position]] and Setting two cards. Kaiba is not impressed, Summoning "[[Assault Wyvern (anime)|Assault Wyvern]]" to slice "Marshmacaron" to pieces, but destroying "Marshmacaron" allows Yugi to Summon two more from his Deck, which reform from the fragments. Kaiba in turn sacrifices "Assault Wyvern" since it destroyed a Defense Position monster, allowing him to Summon "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", which he augments with "[[Dragon's Fighting Spirit (anime)|Dragon's Fighting Spirit]]", granting it an additional attack for every monster Yugi just Summoned. "Blue-Eyes" destroys both "Marshmacarons" and attacks Yugi directly with a single "White Lightning", but this allows Yugi to activate "[[Dark Horizon (anime)|Dark Horizon]]", bringing "Dark Magician" to the field. On his next turn, Yugi simply plays another face-down card.
The Quantum Cube has appeared in the center of the stadium, and it expands and swells to an immense size as the Millennium Ring appears on the side and Diva's distorted laughter echoes through the stadium. Dark power begins spurting from the Cube, twisting through the stadium in cubic particles as Yugi recognizes the Ring. Up above, Sera asks in shock if this is Diva, and Diva replies that it is. [[Dark Diva|Yami Diva]] emerges from the cube – a grotesque, demonic creature with cubes protruding from his body and the Millennium Ring fused into his chest. As he emerges from the cube, it rises into the air, dispersing its dark power over Domino City, the strands disintegrating those who they touch as Joey, Tristan, and Téa watch in horror. Sera and the Plana appear in front of Yami Diva, begging him to stop, and revealing that the Quantum Cube is an eighth Millennium Item that can be corrupted with a single drop of evil, remaking the world into a dimension of darkness with the power of the Plana. Heedless of their words and his connection to Shadi, Yami Diva disintegrates his friends, and Kaiba and Yugi step up to challenge him.
[[File:Monster Aigami.png|thumb|250px|Yami Diva, distorted by the [[Millennium Ring (manga)|Millennium Ring]].]]
Yami Diva agrees, eager to destroy them slowly rather than quickly. He begins by instantly Summoning "[[Crimson Nova the Dark Cubic Lord (anime)|Crimson Nova the Dark Cubic Lord]]" and Setting two cards to end his turn, laughing as the effect of "Crimson Nova" inflicts 3000 damage to all of them. He explains that the Duel is a [[Shadow Game]], where the players' bodies disintegrate as they lose Life Points. Kaiba takes the next turn, Dimension Summoning "[[Pandemic Dragon (anime)|Pandemic Dragon]]", Spiriting its ATK to the maximum, and paying 500 LP to lower the ATK of "Crimson Nova" by the same number, which will also allow "Pandemic Dragon" to automatically destroy it. "Pandemic Dragon" first releases a cloud of viral particles and then a blast of flames, but "Crimson Nova" is unaffected by monster effects from those with lower ATK, and Kaiba Sets a card, warning Yugi to be careful.
"Counter Gate" [[resolve]]s and Kaiba draws (from the ground rather than the Deck) "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (anime)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]". He Tributes his two "Blue-Eyes" and one "Alternative Dragon" to [[Tribute Summon]] "Obelisk" (4000/4000) in Attack Position. Kaiba activates its effect, Tributing his two "Krystal Dragons" to inflict 4000 [[Effect damage|damage]] to Diva (Diva: 8000 → 4000). Due to being an [[Egyptian God]], the effects of "Obelisk" cannot be prevented by the effect of "Cubic Mandala". "Obelisk" attacks and destroys "Buster Gundil" (Diva: 4000 → 1000).
At this point, the security field surrounding the pieces of the [[Millennium Puzzle (manga)|Millennium Puzzle]] deactivates, so [[Mokuba Kaiba (manga)|Mokuba]] and Kaiba escape with the pieces. The Duel ends with no conclusion.
===Yugi Muto vs. Diva===
This Duel uses [[Dimension Summon]]ing. Both [[Normal Summon]]s and [[Special Summon]]s may be conducted as Dimension Summons instead, allowing players to Summon any [[Monster Card|monster]] without [[Tribute]], by using their own Spirit to determine its [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] values, though their maximum [[original ATK and DEF|original values]] will be the printed values. Neither player receives [[battle damage]] from [[battle]]s involving Dimension Summoned monsters, but will take damage equal to their ATK or DEF when they are [[destroy]]ed, depending on their [[battle position]].
As every monster Dimension Summoned by both players was Summoned with its maximum values, that will be not be noted below.

*A poster for the film shows virtual projections of cards held by Kaiba, including three cards with the artwork of "[[Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon]]", but with the names, "BLUEEYESWDRG", "OBRZK of GIANT[...]" and "BLUEEYESAL[...]", seemingly referencing "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]", "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (anime)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]" ("Giant God Soldier of Obelisk") and "Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon" respectively.
*As this movie takes place in the manga continuity, Kaiba was not present when Yugi beat the Pharaoh.
*The inside of a Duel Disk is seen for the first time, as Tristan was fixing Joey's.
