Sometime later, Aknamkanon finds out about the massacre from Priest [[Mahado]], who learned the secret from the [[Millennium Ring]], he sacrifices himself to the gods of Egypt as a penance in a state of guilt and shame believing that it was his own choice of option for allowing this to occur, asking only for his son's safety from their wrath in return. After the disturbing discovery, Aknamkanon grew ill and died.

Years later, [[Thief King Bakura]] carries Aknamkanon's sarcophagus in front of [[Pharaoh Atem]] (Aknamkanon's son) and his [[Guardian]]s and places the blames on the late Aknamkanon for killing his [[Kul Elna|village]] to make the Millennium Items (although it was actually Akhenaden that was responsible). Aknamkanon (through his corpse) speaks with Atem with the instructions "[[Egyptian God|Justice is in the name of the Gods]]" or "[[Egyptian God|Justice lies with the Egyptian gods]]". His next appearance is in the village of Kul Elna, where Aknamkanon's spirit protects Atem from the vengeful spirits of those who were slain in Kul Elna village and will lead those spirits to the realm of shadows where they belong despite being trapped there as well. Later, Aknamkanon's spirit again tells Atem the instructions "Justice is in the name of the Gods" is the key to defeating [[Zorc Necrophades]]. After the [[Ceremonial Battle]], Akhenamkhanen is seen waiting for his son as he passes into the door between life and death along with the other guardians.
