Yami Bakura says that whoever possesses all seven [[Millennium ItemItems]]s in his possessionwill have the power to rule the world. The pair start a [[Duel]] with Yami Yugi's [[Millenium Millennium Puzzle]] and his friends' souls at stake.

Meanwhile, in the Graveyard, Tristan wanders is wandering around the graveyard when he rubs some dust off a tombstone and , to his horror, finds a that the tombstone with has his name inscripted inscribed on it.

Yami Yugi Summons thinks that he can't recklessly play his friends' soul cards, but at the moment, he only has one card that can defeat Yami Bakura's monster - Joey's "[[Flame Swordsman (anime)|Flame Swordsman]]" to defeat Yami Bakura's "White Magical Hat". Since "Flame Swordsman" is [[Joey Wheeler|Joey's]] favourite card, Yugi correctly deduces that He Summons it will contain Joey's soul. Like Tristanin Attack Position, and Joey emerges from the card, six inches tall and dressed as the "Flame Swordsman". Joey is terrified of what appears surprised to be giant see Yami Yugi and giant Bakura. Yami Yugi explains the situation to Joey so he offers , who gets freaked out when Yami Yugi tells him about the Graveyard, but agrees to help in any way he can. Joey defeats the , without input from Yami Yugi, attacks "White Magical Hat" but in his pride he recklessly takes out a [[face-down]] monsterand destroys it, "dropping Yami Bakura's [[Morphing Jar (anime)|Morphing JarLife Points]]", which forces both players to discard their hands and draw 5 new cards. This was risky for Yugi as he could have had [[Téa Gardner|Téa's]] card in his hand1200.

In his new handOn Yami Bakura's turn, Yami Yugi holds the "he [[Dark MagicianSet]]"s a monster. Yami Yugi hesitates and wonders what the card is, his own favourite cardbut Joey charges forward to attack despite Yami Yugi's pleas for him to stop. Unsure of what The Set monster is revealed to expect, he Summons it and regular be "[[Yugi MutoMorphing Jar (anime)|YugiMorphing Jar]] emerges", which Joey slices through with his sword, but Yami Bakura and Yami Yugi is still playing.

Yami Bakura Sets another monster as well as a face-down card. Yami Yugi thinks to himself that keeping Yugi's soul card in his hand is dangerous, so he Summons "Dark Magician" in Attack Position. Regular [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]] emerges from the card, dressed as "Dark Magician". Yami Yugi then uses "[[Monster Reborn (anime)|Monster Reborn]]" to bring back "Cyber Commander" from the Graveyard, and Tristan's soul along with it. Joey and Tristan express their confusion as to why there are two Yugis, and Yugi reveals that the one Dueling is the "other Yugi" who is a spirit dwelling inside the Millennium Puzzle. (In the dub, he's more vague, talking about how he can hear a strong voice from the Puzzle guiding him.) He apologizes for not telling the others. Joey says that it's okay - they're all friends anyway, so it doesn't matter. Yugi asks where Téa is, and Tristan says she must still be in the deck. Joey resolves to win the Duel before her card can get played. Yugi turns and uses his "Black Magic" to destroy Yami Bakura's Set monster, which is revealed to be another "Morphing Jar", which causes both Duelists to refresh their hands again. In The last card in Yami Yugi's next new hand he holds is Téa's soul card: the - "[[Magician of Faith (anime)|Magician of Faith]]".Yami Bakura asks if Yami Yugi drew a good card.

Yami Bakura uses the Sets another monster, then activates his face-down [[Trap Card]] , "[[Just Desserts (anime)|Just Desserts]]" to take away a large percentage of Yami Yugi's , which deals 500 [[Life Pointseffect damage]]. to Yami Yugi Summons "Magician of Faith", feeling that Téa would be more safe for each monster on the his field instead of in . Since there are three, Yami Yugi takes 1500 damage and his hand. When Téa emerges everyone tries Life Points fall to explain what is happening. During this Joey makes fun of "smaller" Yugi. In a fit of anger500, causing Yami Yugi attacks Yami Bakura's face down card, "[[Electric Lizard (anime)|Electric Lizard]]". He soon regrets it when the card gives him an electric shockto keel over in pain.

Yami Bakura Summons Yugi thinks that Téa's soul card isn't safe in his hand, and so he Sets "[[Man-Eater Bug (anime)|Man-Eater Bug]]Magician of Faith" which can automatically destroy any [[Monster Card|monster]] , feeling that Téa would be more safe on the opponent's [[field]]. Joey volunteers Téa peeks out from under the face-down card, causing the other monsters to sacrifice himself gather around her card and he is sent try to hide her from view. The gang explains the graveyardsituation to Téa. Yami During this, Joey tells Téa that there's a "cool" Yugi and a "regular" Yugi uses . (In the dub, the adjective "[[Horn of Heaven]]regular" to destroy the is instead "Man-Eater Bugpuny". ) In the graveyardorder to prove that he can be cool too, Joey is chased by the Yugi uses "Black Magic" to attack Yami Bakura's Set "[[Reaper of the Cards Electric Lizard (characteranime)|Reaper of the CardsElectric Lizard]]", but he soon regrets it when the card gives him an electric shock, causing his body to go numb.

He instead chooses Joey wants to take control of "Lady of Faith" and volunteers to be destroyed by Yugiattack it, but Yugi doesnsays it's worthless, as the card will flip face-up if it't want to attack his friends attacked. Yami Joey asks if there's any way they can stop it from being [[Flip Summon]]ed, and Yugi uses his Millennium Puzzle to switch Bakura and Yami Bakurasays it's souls. Yami Bakura is now the possible if they use "Lady Horn of FaithHeaven" and normal Bakura is Dueling.

He says that he'll be the one to face Yami Bakura, and charges in, to Yugi and Téa's objections. Joey lands on top of "Man-Eater Bug", which emerges from the card and the two begin to struggle. Joey calls to Yami Yugi, who uses "Horn of Heaven", sacrificing "Flame Swordsman" and Joey's soul to normalnegate the Flip Summon of "Man-Eater Bug" and destroy it. "Flame Swordsman" and "Man-Eater Bug" are destroyed simultaneously. Yami Bakura laughs and says they'll all be sent there anyway soon enough.  In the Graveyard, Joeyis chased by the "Reaper of the Cards", Tristan trips over a rock and falls to the ground. Téa thought they had been dreaming begins to cry over losing Joey. A single tear drops to the ground, which activates her Flip Effect, allowing Yami Yugi to add a [[Spell Card]] from the Graveyard back to his hand. He adds back "Monster Reborn" and immediately activates it, bringing back "Flame Swordsman" and Joey's soul from the Graveyard, just as the "Reaper" was about to swipe Joey with his scythe. Yami Yugi says that the friendship the experiencegang shares creates miracles, but Yami Bakura laughs and says that he'll show Yami Yugi that friendship never lasts forever.  [[File:RyuBakura-ChangeofHeart.png |thumb|left|Bakura as "[[Change of Heart (anime)|Change of Heart]]"]] Yami Bakura Summons "[[Lady of Faith (anime)|Lady of Faith]]" in Attack Position and then reveals a Spell in his hand - "[[Change of Heart (anime)|Change of Heart]]", Bakura's favorite card. Yami Bakura says that when he activates it, he'll be able to turn "Dark Magician" Yugi against his friends. He declares that the gang's friendship is over and activates "Change of Heart". However, when "Change of Heart" is activated, normal Bakura emerges and appears as the angel on the card, as it is his favorite card. He flies over to "Lady of Faith" and uses the effect of "Change of Heart" to take control of it. He volunteers to be destroyed by Yugi, but Yugi doesn't want to attack his friend as that would send him to the Graveyard. However, Yami Yugi uses his Millennium Puzzle's power to switch the places of Bakura and Yami Bakura's souls, turning Yami Bakura into the "Lady of Faith" and normal Bakura into Yami Yugi's opponent. Yami Yugi orders "Dark Magician" to attack "Lady of Faith", and Yugi uses "Black Magic" to destroy "Lady of Faith", send Yami Bakura's soul to the Graveyard, and reduce Bakura's Life Points to 0, winning the Shadow Game. In the Graveyard, Yami Bakura curses the failure of his plan, and the "Reaper of the Cards" appears behind him, causing him to scream. As the dust settles, everyone's souls return back where they belong.

"Dark Magician"/Little Yugi attacks and destroys "Lady of Faith"/Yami Bakura, [[send]]ing him to the [[Graveyard]] (Ryo BakuraRyou: 1200 → 0 LP). ==Differences in adaptions==* In the English version, Yami Bakura takes everyone to the Shadow Realm before he traps them in the cards. In the Japanese version he creates a [[Shadow Game]].* When Tristan finds his tombstone in the Graveyard, it says "Honda Hiroto" in Japanese. In the dub, the Japanese writing is first seen on it from a far-away scene, but when he lowers down in a close-up, the tombstone is blank until he wipes it and the Japanese words are replaced with TRISTAN TAYLOR in English writing in the dub.* The shot of Yami Bakura clutching his chest in pain as his life points go down is changed in the US version to show him frowning.* The words on the duel mat have been removed in the US version, though they can be briefly seen in the previous episode when the group collapses after having their souls removed.* In the Japanese version, the card dealer shows Bakura's father, "[[Seven-Armed Fiend]]", has an ATK and DEF of 666. Both were changed to 1000 for English audiences. ==Errors==[[File:Saint Magician Tea.png|thumb|right|Magician of Faith with the incorrect stats.]]* When Joey first turns around as the Flame Swordsman to see the "giant" Yugi, his card is turned around as well, with the attack and defense points pointing towards Yami Bakura. This happens again as Joey apologizes for attacking the morphing jar. * In the dub, "[[Monster Reborn]]" has the usual altered artwork, but when it is activated the first time (to resurrect Tristan), the ankh of the original artwork can be briefly seen glowing. * In the dub, when Tea's tears activate Magician of Faith's special ability, the camera zooms out to show Tea's card with Dark Magician's card.
