Yu Gi Oh Part 287 - Weekly Jump 2/2003

A shadow of father

Garles Dragon summoned by the Priest Seto was destroyed. Bakura challenged Pharaoh Yugi to fight. If he lost, he would sacrifice his heart, but if Pharaoh lost, he would give him his life, all his treasures, and the 7 Millennium items. Pharaoh Yugi asked Bakura for the real reason and desire of his doing. Bakura smiled and told him to ask the mummy that he took out from the Pharaoh’s cemetery. This mummy was the previous Pharaoh and Yugi's father, Pharaoh Akunamukanon. Yugi was shocked. The Priest Aknadean (The Millennium Eye possessor) explained to Bakura that Pharaoh Akunamukanon was a great man, bringing the peace to all the people. He had governed this kingdom for more than 40 years. Then he created the 7 Millennium items to seal an evil power. However, Bakura refused to believe him, saying that the excuse wasn't good enough for him. The 7 Millennium items also sealed a shadow power. At his village, Kuruelna, which at present was in ruins, there was a holy tablet sealing the evil power, Hades. After taking the 7 Millennium items back there, that person could possess the great shadow power, Soknegrophades of Hades. Pharaoh Akunamukanon thought he might need this power, thus he created the Millennium items. Yugi couldn't stand seeing Bakura look down at his father any more. He stood up and told Bakura to shut up and not to touch his father again. The other priests continued the duel. They summoned their own Ka from Veju Cathedral to fight Diabound. Shimon told Yugi that he knew his father well. Pharaoh Akunamukanon was really a great man. Yugi lightly remembered his memory about his father, A shadow of Pharaoh Akunamukanon's back. Then he walked through the battle field while the priests and Bakura were having a duel and picked up the mummy of his father. He challenged Bakura, saying that he would definitely destroy him.
