Summary
That evening, Yami Yugi and Téa visit the Domino Museum, where they find a stone tablet between a battle between two ancient Egyptian sorcerers. One looks like Yugi while the other looks like Kaiba. They are then greeted by Ishizu Ishtar, holder of the Millennium Necklace. She tells them 5,000 years ago, evil sorcerers use shadow monsters to destroy each other and conquer the world. However, Yami, a great Egyptian pharaoh, used the Millennium Items to lock away their powers, saving mankind. However, people are once again trying to destroy the world with great power and in order for Yami to save mankind again, he must enter and win and upcoming Duel Monsters tournament. Meanwhile, Seto is at the KaibaCorp headquarters testing out his new Duel Disks. He faces a Duel Machine that is using the same Deck he used at Duelist Kingdom. Although the machine manages to Summon all three Blue-Eyes White Dragons and fuse them to form Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Seto Tributes three of his monsters to Summon his Egyptian God Card, Obelisk the Tormentor, then Tribute his other two monsters to use its effect, destroying all of the Duel Machine's monsters and wiping out the rest of its Life Points (and overloading the system as well).
On the streets, Yugi and Téa encounter Mai Valentine, who has shown up for the announcement for the upcoming tournament. They spot old rivals including Rex Raptor, Weevil Underwood and Mako Tsunami, as well as new duelists such as Espa Roba, a boy claiming to have psychic powers. Just then, Seto appears on every television screen in the city, announcing his new Battle City tournament, which will start in one week. Duelists must register for his new Duel Disks to enter and in a duel, the winner will receive the loser's rarest card. Meanwhile, the holder of the Millennium Rod becomes aware of the tournament and sends his Rare Hunters out to Duel and win rare cards for him.
