"'''Mind Game: Mai Vs. Marik, Part 1'''", known as "'''Mai vs. Marik - Duel of Darkness'''" in the Japanese version, is the ninetieth episode of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime]]. It first aired in Japan on January 15, 2002 and in the United States on October 4, 2003.

This episode and the parts 2 and 3 two were first released as "'''Dark Rage'''" in the United States.

==Summary==
Before the next Duel, [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] brings up the dream he had about all his friends when he was knocked out in his duel against [[Odion]]. [[Mai Valentine|Mai]] asks him if she was in this dream but out of embarrassment, Joey lies and says she was not. Mai interprets this as Joey not caring about her.

The next Duel is Mai against [[Marik Ishtar|Marik]] who is now [[Yami Marik]]. Yami Marik is in Odion's room about to kill him (send him to the [[Shadow Realm]] in the dub), until he hears his name called out to the Duel.

Yami Marik turns the Duel into a [[Shadow Game]] and [[Yami Yugi]] tries to warn Mai of the dangers but she refuses to listen. Due to the nature of the Shadow Game, when a monster is destroyed, its owner will lose pieces of their memory. This causes Mai to forget about [[Téa Gardner|Téa]].

==Featured Duel: Mai Valentine vs. Yami Marik, Part 1==
<u>'''Turn 1: Mai'''</u><br />
Mai draws "[[Dunames Dark Witch (anime)|Dunames Dark Witch]]" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1800/1050) in [[Attack Position]].

<u>'''Turn 2: Yami Marik'''</u><br />
Yami Marik draws "[[Revival Jam (anime)|Revival Jam]]" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1500/500) in [[Defense Position]]. He then [[activate]]s "[[Jam Breeding Machine (anime)|Jam Breeding Machine]]". While this card is face-up on the field, Yami Marik can once a turn Special Summon a "[[Slime Token (anime)|Slime Token]]" in Attack Position. If he summons anything else besides a Slime Token, "Jam Breeding Machine" will be destroyed.

<u>'''Turn 3: Mai'''</u><br />
"Dunames Dark Witch" [[attack]]s and [[destroy]]s "Revival Jam". "Revival Jam" revives itself (1500/500) in Defense Position via its own effect.

<u>'''Turn 4: Yami Marik'''</u><br />
Yami Marik draws "[[Pot of Greed (anime)|Pot of Greed]]" and subsequently activates it to [[Draw a card|draw]] two cards ("[[Jam Defender (anime)|Jam Defender]]" and "[[Remove Trap (anime)|Remove Trap]]"). Yami Marik then activates the effect of "Jam Breeding Machine" to Special Summon a "Slime Token" (500/500) in Attack Position. Yami Marik then [[Set]]s a card (NOTE: in the Japanese version, [[Kaiba]] explains to [[Mokuba]] that the set card must be "Jam Defender", which allows [[Yami Marik]] to switch the target of all [[Mai Valentine|Mai]]'s attacks to "Revival Jam". In the English dub, Yugi thinks this but doesn't say it. In the English dub, Yami Marik also stated the faced down card would render her attacks useless).

<u>'''Turn 5: Mai'''</u><br />
Mai draws "[[Harpie's Feather Duster (anime)|Harpie's Feather Duster]]" and subsequently activates it to destroy all of Yami Marik's Magic and Trap Cards. "Dunames Dark Witch" attacks and destroys "Slime Token" (Yami Marik 4000 → 2700). Mai Sets a card.

<u>'''Turn 6: Yami Marik'''</u><br />
Yami Marik Normal Summons "[[Melchid the Four-Face Beast (anime)|Melchid the Four-Face Beast]]" (1500/1200) in Attack Position. He then [[Tribute]]s "Melchid" and "Revival Jam" in order to Special Summon "[[Masked Beast Des Gardius (anime)|Masked Beast Des Gardius]]" (3300/2500) in Attack Position. "Masked Beast Des Gardius" attacks "Dunames Dark Witch", but Mai activates her face-down "[[Mirror Wall (anime)|Mirror Wall]]", which halves the [[ATK]] of all of Marik's attacking monsters ("Masked Beast Des Gardius": 3300 → 1650/2500). "Dunames Dark Witch" then destroys "Masked Beast Des Gardius" (Yami Marik 2700 → 2550). This activates the effect of "Masked Beast Des Gardius", allowing Yami Marik to activate "[[The Mask of Remnants (anime)|The Mask of Remnants]]" from his Deck and equip the latter card to "Dunames Dark Witch". Due to the effect of "The Mask of Remnants", control of "Dunames Dark Witch" switches to Yami Marik. Yami Marik then activates "Remove Trap" to destroy "Mirror Wall".

<u>'''Turn 7: Mai'''</u><br />
Mai draws. She then Sets a card and Normal Summons "[[The Unfriendly Amazon (anime)|The Unfriendly Amazon]]" (2000/1000) in Attack Position. "The Unfriendly Amazon" attacks and destroys "Dunames Dark Witch" (Yami Marik 2550 → 2350).

==Differences in adaptations==
* The dub cuts a scene where a bird's-eye view of the Battle Ship is shown as the announcer's voice says that the duelists for round three will be chosen in fifteen minutes.
* Scenes of Odion and Joey being struck by the lightning created by "The Winged Dragon of Ra" are added over Joey's scene in the US version.
* A shot of Joey clenching his fist is cut from the US version.
* In the Japanese Version, Yami Marik wants to kill Odion. In the dub, he wants to send him to the shadow realm.
* A scene of Marik pulling a dagger out of the Millennium Rod and holding the point of the Rod's dagger over Odion's face is cut from the US version.
* The dagger on the Millennium Rod is digitized out, and the Rod is made longer to copy its length with the dagger. It now has a flat bottom for this scene since the dagger was cut out.
* When Marik is announced as Mai's opponent, Roland is mistakenly shown in the photo screen of Rishid's room holding the #4 ball, which is Mai's number. Roland is seen holding the #5 ball in the dub.
* A shot of Kaiba thinking he'll watch the power of "Ra" is cut from the US version.
* A spilt-screen of Mai and Yami Marik replaces a shot of Joey in the dub.
* The words "DRAW TWO" on Yami Marik's duel disk is replaced with the number "4000".
* A close-up of Kaiba is cut.
* Cut from the US version is a short scene of Tristan saying this is like Yugi and Pegasus's Duel.
* A shadow version of Téa being sliced in two by "Unfriendly Amazon" is cut.
* The words "TO BE CONTINUED" are added at the end of the dub episode.

==Errors==
* Duke Devlin is first seen in Odion's room close to Tristan, but then in the scene when Joey understands why he was able to stand up in time to win, Duke isn't next to Tristan when it shows "all" of the characters in Odion's room in a line. However, Duke is there in a following overhead scene after Joey explains his dream.

* In the Japanese version, Roland holds up Mai's number ball of 4 when announcing her opponent is Marik Ishtar, who is actually Duelist number 5.
