Priest Mahado and Bakura, King of Thieves faced each other in a ka battle, in the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga.
Events
Prior
Seto had been critical of Mahado's ka, the Magus of Illusions, in the battle with Bakura, at the pharaoh's palace.[1] and during the mock ka battles. At its level, he considered it unfit to protect the pharaoh's tomb.[2]
Security was tightened at Akhenamkhanen's tomb, in caution of another raid from Bakura. As captain of the royal guard, Mahado commanded the soldiers at the tomb. Siamun Muran stressed the importance of setting new traps, rather than repairing the old ones and Mahado affirmed that there was a new trap sure to stop any thief. Seto was not totally convinced suggested that Mahado not be given another chance and be stripped of his priesthood the next time the tomb got robbed. Siamun reminded Seto that was the pharaoh's decision to make. Pharaoh Atem then advised Mahado to not be blinded by his guilt and to focus on fulfilling his duties.[3]
When Mahado was departing to the tomb, Siamun stopped him to remind him that his duty was solely to inspect and reinforce the guard at the Valley of the Kings. He knew Mahado was considering using his own spirit to defeat Bakura, but told him it was not strong enough and they would need the combined power of the pharaoh and priests to defeat Bakura.[3]
Mahado asked Siamun about ka's strength growing with the hatred of their host. Siamun replied that it was not just hatred but the strength of their heart. In place of hatred, Mahado believed himself to have enough devotion to the pharaoh to strengthen his ka. Because the pharaoh forgave him for his failure, he was willing to stake his life for his duty.[3]
Mana scolded Siamun for saying Mahado's spirit was weak and claimed that he had incredible magic that he has not used since the day he first put on the Millennium Ring.[3]
Mahado guarded the inside of the tomb, while his troops were stationed outside and tasked with letting no creature near the holy place. Before entering the tomb, he sensed Bakura's presence with the Millennium Ring. Bakura watched Mahado going inside and seeing only five guards at the entrance thought it would be easy to go after him.[3]
Bakura quickly dispatched the soldiers at the entrance and walked inside. At a bridge, he was faced by Mahado, who said he had been waiting for him. Outside the tomb, the soldiers, following Mahado's orders, blocked the entrance with a boulder and erected a stone slab. If Mahado was to die fighting Bakura, his soul would take form on the tablet. If that happened before the third sunrise, they were to leave the tomb sealed forever.[3]
Bakura suspected Akhenamkhanen was not buried in the tomb. Mahado confirmed that they buried him elsewhere and were to use this tomb for Bakura. Bakura told him not be getting ahead of himself, since he had not fallen for the trap. He had no interest in taking Akhenamkhanen's mummy again and claimed to have come for the Millennium Ring.[3]
While Bakura ridiculed Mahado's power, Mahado claimed to have been holding back his power before. Previously he used his magic to keep the dark powers of the Millennium Ring at bay. But inside the tomb, he could freely unleash his full power, without fear of hurting innocent bystanders.[3]
Battle
Bakura summoned Diabound, who had grown since their last battle. Mahado summoned his Magus of Illusions, which was also significantly more powerful than their last encounter.[3]
