He also create unnatural storms slew both [[Shada]] and disasters shown to affect both Hasan as they protected the Memory World and EarthPharaoh.

Yami Bakura and Yami Yugi reentered the RPG at that point (Yami Bakura revealed to Yami Yugi that he was Zorc'). After he reclaimed the Millennium Puzzle, the Pharaoh summoned the three [[Egyptian God]]s sheer power allowed to battle Zorc. The Egyptian Gods clashed with the Great Evil God, and initially appeared to have defeated him to singlehandedly defeat Exodia .

This That phenomena is was similar to [[Dimension Summon]]ing rulesRules, though it is was unclear if this that was due to his Zorc's powers, or the effects of summoning ka Ka in the Memory World.* Zorc has had a much weaker counterpart that who appeared in [[Monster World]], [[Dark Master - Zorc]].* While Zorc has yet to does not have a an ''OCG''/''TCG '' counterpart, though "[[Dark Master - Zorc]]" has received a carddoes.* Necrophades is was possibly a compound of Necro (Greek for Death), and Hades (The Greek Underworld).
