Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 201

Summary

Yugi, Joey, Tristan, and Téa arrive in Cairo, Egypt. They are greeted at the airport by Marik, Ishizu, and Odion.
The Ishtars take Yugi & his friends to an ancient tomb holding the Tablet of Lost Memories (the same one Ishizu brought to Domino City during the Battle City arc).
- Yugi looks at Pharaoh image on the tablet and starts thinking quietly. Téa then takes out a piece of jewelry she just bought the airport at they arrived, and gives it to him.
  - It's a Cartouche pendant. She explains that ancient Egyptian Pharaohs usually engraved their royal names inside cartouches, just like this Pharaoh did on the Tablet of Lost Memories (except the cartouche part has been worn off so the name cannot be read). Once the Pharaoh rediscovers his real name he can then engrave it on the pendant, so that he may never forget it again.
    - Yami Yugi is touched by Téa's gift, and puts the pendant around his neck.

Yugi then holds his Egyptian God Cards against the tablet, and the spirit of the Pharaoh is transported inside the tablet.
- At the same time, Yami Bakura enters the tomb and has his own spirit transported along with the Pharaoh, leaving the body of Ryo Bakura behind. Bakura's evil spirit merges with the part he had left inside Yugi's Millennium Puzzle, and the spirit of Yami Bakura is now once again complete.
The Pharaoh and Bakura arrive to Ancient Egyptian past.
- The Pharaoh is transported to his coronation ceremony. His vizier Shimon Muran (striking a very close resemblance to grandpa Solomon Muto) guides him through the Royal Palace.
  - The Pharaoh meets the six members of his Royal court, the "Sacred Guardians", who also strike a resemblance to Yugi's present-time friends (Seto, Ishizu, etc.). Each one has been entrusted with a Millennium Item.
    - Aknadin wields the Millennium Eye.
    - Priest Seto wields the Millennium Rod.
    - Isis wields the Millennium Necklace.
    - Karim wields the Millennium Scale.
    - Mahad wields the Millennium Ring.
    - Shada wields the Millennium Key.
  - The Pharaoh himself has his Millennium Puzzle around his neck, as usual.

An intruder manages to sneak inside the Royal chamber, and make an attempt on the Pharaoh's life. He is stopped & caught, initiating a "Millennium Trial".
- Shada uses the Millennium Key to read the assassin's mind, and finds out there is an evil creature ("Dark Spirit of Chaos" in the manga) lurking inside his heart.
- Aknadin uses the Millennium Eye, to reveal & extract the monster dwelling inside the heart of assassin.
- Priest Seto uses the Millennium Rod to seal the monster inside a Stone Tablet.
- Now that the darkness in his soul has been banished, the assassin is let free.
Meanwhile, Bakura is transported to his real ancient identity: Thief King Bakura. In chains to be carried back to the city, he is freed by his followers and back to his camp. He then endeavors to disguise himself and confront the Pharaoh in the city.
In the present, Yugi & his friends are met by Shadi, who reveals himself to be a century-old spirit Guardian of the tomb. He also reveals the fate that awaits the Pharaoh: he must relive his ancient past, and play the "Ultimate Shadow Game" (Yami No Game in Japanese). Yugi & his friends want to help.
