Summary

(NOTE: for steps in the Yugi Muto vs. Yami Bakura Duel please see the Featured Duel section below)

The Retrieval of the Millennium Items

• Shada has just sacrificed his life to protect the Pharaoh from Zorc's attack. Meanwhile Zorc continues relentlessly to destroy the Pharaoh's troops.
• Shimon Muran says the only way they can stand a chance is if the three Egyptian Gods are Summoned, but the Pharaoh lost his Millennium Puzzle and his life energy is too low!
  • Isis suggests they must go out in the desert and search for the Millennium Items, so that all the remaining Guardians can restore their energy!
    • While the Pharaoh's troops create a diversion, Isis Summons "Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress 1" and climbs on its back, departing with Mana and "Spiria" to look for the items.
• Back at Kul Elna, Isis & Mana immediately find all the Millennium Items: the Scale, Rod, Ring, Puzzle, Eye, Key, and Necklace were all within a short distance from one another.
  • For retrieving her Millennium Necklace Isis's life force is replenished to maximum.
• Upon Isis & Mana's return to the Capital however, Zorc senses the presence of the Items and immediately attacks Isis's "Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress". Isis tells Mana to dismount and bring the items back to the Pharaoh. Meanwhile, she uses her Millennium Necklace to increase her Dragon's strength and create a diversion by attacking Zorc.
  • Zorc destroys "Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress" and Isis's life force is no more.

Exodia the Forbidden One

• Mana is intercepted by Shimon Muran, who takes the Millennium Key from her in order to buy them more time. Mana brings the remaining items to the Pharaoh.
  • Shimon uses the Millennium Key to Summon "Exodia the Forbidden One".

Priest Seto "It's the Forbiddden One! A beast so powerful it was able to defeat an army of thousands in a single night!"

Pharaoh "Exodia!"

Shimon Muran (to Exodia) "Had it not been for you old friend, this land would surely have fallen at the hands of his enemies. Due to your incredible strength I sealed you within five Stone Tablets, vowing never to release you again. Now I lift that seal!"

• For a short while Exodia holds its own against Zorc (NOTE: present in the original Japanese and cut from the English dub, a scene where Exodia rips out Zorc's arm, who then grows it back because he is immortal, and Zorc doing the same thing to Exodia, Exodia also growing the arm back).
• Eventually Shimon orders Exodia to Obliterate, but Zorc immediately counter-attacks and destroys Exodia (splitting him in half). Shimon loses the last of his life energy and is no more.

Zorc Necrophades "Pharaoh, opposing me is futile. I am the embodiment of pure darkness, and as the world is enveloped by the shadows my power shall grow! Now kneel before your new master!"

Pharaoh "No! The light of hope still shines upon the people of Egypt, and that light can illuminate even the darkest of shadows!"

• At this point, Mana brings back the Items and the Pharaoh's Millennium Puzzle. His life energy is replenished.

Featured Duel: Yugi Muto vs. Yami Bakura - Part 2

Duel continues from previous episode.

Yami Bakura's Turn

• Bakura draws.
• Activates Spell Card "Spirit Sword of Sealing", removing Yugi's "Silent Swordsman LV4" from play". The monster removed from play by "Spirit Sword of Sealing" can't be Special Summoned by card effects and "Spirit Sword of Sealing" can only be destroyed by its own effect. If a monster Yugi controls is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard, "Spirit Sword of Sealing" will be destroyed and the monster removed from play will be returned to Yugi's side of the field.
• Normal Summons "Disgraced Mage" (1700 ATK / 1400 DEF) in Attack Position.
• "Disgraced Mage" attacks Yugi's "Marshmallon", but "Marshmallon's" effect prevents its destruction, however Yugi still takes Battle Damage (Yugi 2400 → 1000 Life Points).

Yugi Muto's Turn

• Yugi draws "Blocken" and subsequently Normal Summons it (100 ATK / 300 DEF) in Defense Position (Yugi's Deck: 32 → 31).

Yami Bakura's Turn

• Bakura draws.
• "Disgraced Mage" attacks Yugi's "Marshmallon", but Yugi activates the effect of Yugi's "Blocken" activates, forcing Bakura's "Disgraced Mage" to attack it instead. "Disgraced Mage" destroys "Blocken".
  • Since "Disgraced Mage" destroyed a monster in battle, its effect activates, returning "Blocken" to Yugi's Deck instead of sending it to the Graveyard. (Yugi's Deck: 31 → 32)
  • Since "Blocken" was destroyed in battle, its effect activates, Special Summoning "Lenguard" (300 ATK / 100 DEF) in Attack Position. (Yugi's Deck: 32 → 31)
• Bakura sets 3 cards.

Yugi Muto's Turn

• Yugi draws. (Yugi's Deck: 31 → 30)
• "Marshmallon" attacks Bakura's "Disgraced Mage". Due to the effect of "Marshmallon", it is not destroyed, but since its ATK is less than that of "Disgraced Mage", the attack fails.
  • Activates "Lenguard's" effect, destroying it to negate all Battle Damage he would have taken from the attack.
    • Since a monster was destroyed and sent to Yugi's Graveyard, "Silent Swordsman LV4" is released from the effect of "Spirit Sword of Sealing" and the latter card is destroyed.
• "Silent Swordsman LV4" attacks and destroys Bakura's "Disgraced Mage".
  • Bakura activates "Disgraced Mage's" effect, returning it and his entire Hand to his Deck to negate all Battle Damage he would have taken.

Yami Bakura's Turn

• Bakura draws Spell Card "Pot of Greed" and subsequently activates it to draw 2 cards.
• Activates his Set Continuous Spell Card "Cursed Twin Dolls", forcing Yugi to pick between the Red or the Black Gift-Box. After Yugi chooses his box, Bakura will get the other Box.
  • Yugi picks the Red Gift-Box, so Yugi's Life Points will increase by 200 for each card sent from his hand or Deck to the Graveyard.
  • Because Yugi chose the Red Box, Bakura must pick the Black Gift-Box. This causes his Graveyard to be removed. It also causes all cards that would normally be in it to be returned to Bakura's side of the field as Phantoms. Phantoms do not count towards the Monster or Spell & Trap Card Zone limit, cannot attack or be attacked, have their effects negated, and are unaffected by all effects.
• Normal Summons "Necro Soldier" (0 ATK / 0 DEF) in Defense Position.

Mistakes

• When Yugi is dueling Yami Bakura he activates "Aria from Beyond", and uses the effect of Bakura's "Spirit Sword of Sealing" to remove from the field "Silent Swordsman", at the time "Silent Swordsman" has 4500 ATK and his LV was 7, but when he was sealed the card was shown to only have 4000 ATK points and LV 4.
