[ Translating ]

In the rainging, Bakura appear in front of Yugi while Yugi is surprised by Haga and Ryusaki falling down on the ground. Bakura reminds Yugi that all people have already known that Yugi is holding the three god cards. This protecting duty also belongs to him. So Bakura blames Yugi for carelessness, giving him back his bag. Yugi hurries to check inside and sees that all god cards are safe. Then he looks towards a millennium ring that Bakura is holding. Bakura also claims that this millennium ring, in fact, belongs to him. At this point, Yugi can notice that Bakura's appearance now is a shadow spirit (I will start call him Yami Bakura from now on). Anyway, Yami Bakura tells Yugi not to be worried. The seven millennium items are neccessary to recover Pharaoh's memory, so Yami Bakura intends to return it to Yugi when the time has come. Yugi is uncertain how much Yami Bakura knows about the millennium items, thus he asks directly what will happen when all millennium items are returned to their originally ancient tablet. Yami Bakura understands that Yugi is asking about the Pharoah-memory tablet at Kuruelna village. Also, he explains that the tablet is an artifact which connects the present world with the ancient world. When the seven millennium items are returned to the tablet, the door to the world of death (Meikai No Tobira) is openned. Of course, Yami Bakura doesn't tell Yugi that his real wish is behind the door, solely telling him back that Yugi should know now what it means. Looking at his millennium puzzle, Yugi understands well that Yami Yugi, Pharaoh's spirit, would like to return his soul to the world of death. Yami Bakura reminds Yugi of that mission and tells him that he will support him until that time. Anyway, Yugi is still worried about Bakura's real purpose, changing himself into Yami Yugi. Yami Yugi asks agressively what Yami Bakura is planning. So Yami Bakura explains about an ultimate dark game waiting for Yugi in his memory world. The game will start when Yami Yugi opens the door to that world. He challenges Yami Yugi for that game and Yami Yugi accepts this duel. In fact, there are something that Yami Bakura hasn't understood yet and the answer remains merely in the memory world. Then both of them leave each other, waiting for the battle date.

[ Yami Yugi ]	Bakura! You! What are planning to do?
[ Yami Bakura ]	Hoo! Pharaoh has finally come out. Are you worried about your vessel (little Yugi)?
[ Yami Yugi ]	Answer me now! Bakura!
[ Yami Bakura ]	Clam down! You and I are the same. We are the spirits sealed inside the millennium items for 3,000 years.
[ Yami Yugi ]	What is your real appearance!?
[ Yami Bakura ]	Saa! You seems to forget everything about me. Anyway, you should understand in your own memory.
[ Yami Yugi ]	Bakura...
[ Yami Bakura ]	How about you, King Sama!? It is time to finish our business in a proper stage...in your memory world.
[ Yami Yugi ]	My memory world..?
[ Yami Bakura ]	Hi hi! You seems not to understand anything yet. In the maze inside your mind is the entire game. If we can overcome it, we will reach your memory world or what we call "An Ultimate Shadow Game"
[ Yami Yugi ]	The ultimate shadow game!?
[ Yami Bakura ]	Although you can't remember, you are going to start that game.
[ Yami Yugi ]	I am going to start that game..!?
[ Yami Bakura ]	So you have to go there where we can end our business.
[ Yami Yugi ]	The ultimate shadow game! My memory world! This is great Bakura! I accepts your challenge of this game.
[ Yami Bakura ]	That's the way it should be. When you open the door to your memory, the game will begin. I've been waiting for you there...

Later at Kaiba Corporation, Kaiba is working in his office alone at night. Then, electricity is off, so Kaiba tries to contact his offiers. Suddenly, his computer is turned on and there appears Yami Bakura's face. Yami Bakura is greeting the president who is working on his overtime job. Yami Bakura shows up Mokuba's body, telling Kaiba not to be worried because Mokuba is merely unconscious. Seeing that, Kaiba is very angry and asks what Yami Bakura's purpose is. So Yami Bakura challenges Kaiba to have some experience with a shadow game. Duel! Then Yami Bakura disappears from the screen. Kaiba hurries to get up, puts off his necktie, prepares for his duel disk, and moves up to the top floor, a helicoptor stage. When the elevator is opened, Mokuba's body falls down on Kaiba. Yami Bakura has waited to play the shadow game with him there. Anyway, Kaiba thinks that the shadow game is irrelevant. He won't let Yami Bakura go back safely , and let him regret for that Yami Bakura attacked Mokuba and challenged him to this game. Both of them stand by their duel disks and then start the game. Once the shadow game starts, the stage is covered by a shadow realm. Kaiba feels wired to this atmosphere. Bakura tries to tell him that this is like a game 3,000 years ago and Kaiba should get very familiar to it. However, Kaiba refuses to share this feeling. He isn't interested in the ancient matter as Yugi is but he solely aims to the future. Anyway, Yami Bakura tells Kaiba not to be worried because Yugi is also going to join the shadow game soon. Whatever Yami Bakura is thinking is that Yugi and him are facing against each other in the coming ultimate game. In Kaiba's deck, there is hidden power on which Yami Bakura is focusing. Then Yami Bakura declares his first turn.

Ghost Duke Shiryoo Koushaku Monster Card

Drawing a card, he plays a magic card, Polymerization (Yuukou), to fuse Headless Knight (Kubinashi Kishi) and Ghost Count (Shiryoo Hakushahku) to summon Ghost Duke (Shiryoo Koushaku) with 2000 attack points. Fused monster can't attack in this first turn, so Yami Bakura ends his turn. Kaiba is amazed a bit by the Yami Bakura's play of summoning 2,000-attack-point monster in the first turn. Turn comes to Kaiba. Drawing a card, he summons Blood Vorse (4/1900/1200) in an attack mode. Anyway, Yami Bakura claims that Blood Vorse's attack points aren't enough to destroy Ghost Duke (2000). Next, Kaiba plays a magic card, Shrink (Shuushuku), to decrease the opponent monster's attack points by a half. As a result, Ghost Duke's attack power is decreased to 1000 (2000/2). Kaiba lets Blood Vorse attack Ghost Duke. Accordingly, Yami Bakura's LP goes down to 3900 (4000+1000-3100) while Ghost Duke remains on the field because it can't be destroyed in battle. Then Kaiba ends his turn.

Diabound Carnel Monster Card

Turn is back to Yami Bakura. When he draws a card, Kaiba suddenly claims the effect of Yami Bakura's monster, Ghost Duke, on the field. When a turn comes to Yami Bakura, he has to pay 500 LP. Thus, Yami Bakura's LP goes down again to 2600 (3100-500). After that, sacrificing Ghost Duke, Yami Bakura summons Diabound Carnel (1800) in an attack mode. Continuously, he plays an equipment magic card, Afterimage of Ghost (Shiryoo No Zanzou). Equiping this card with Diabound Carnel (1800), Yami Bakura can summon specially Doppler Token with the same attack power (1800) of the equipped monster (Diabound Carnel) onto the field. Anwyay, Kaiba doesn't feel that he gets any effect from such many weak monsters (He compares them to Sako-small fishes.). Then Yami Bakura activates special of Doppler Diabound (Doppler Token). It can attach with a monster and decrease the attack points by its own attack points. Therefore, Blood Vorse's attack points are decreased to 100 (1900-1800). Yami Bakura lets his Doppler Diabound destroy Blood Vorse; therefore, Kaiba's LP decreases to 2300 (4000+100-1800). Setting a card, Yami Bakura ends his turn.

Come to Kaiba's turn. Drawing a card, he summons Lord of Dragon (4/1200/1100) . When this card is on the field, all dragon-type monsters cannot be targeted by magic, trap cards, or other effects that specifically designate a target. After that, Kaiba plays a magic card, Flute of Summonning Dragon (Dragon O Yobu Fue). Equiping it with Lord of Dragon, Kaiba can summon a dragon-type monster specially onto the field. Of course, Kaiba chooses to summon Blue Eyes White Dragon (3000). When Blue Eyes White Dragon is summoned this time in the shadow realm, Kaiba's heart starts beating stronger. In his flashback, he, in form of the priest Seto, is carrying a white-hair girl in front of the stone tablet with an image of Blue Eyes White Dragon. Kaiba is looking at her and then he is back to the present time. He doesn't understand himself what this painful feeling is.

Ghost Shield Shiryoo No Tate Trap Card

Kaiba is feeling hurt at his head when he summoned Blue Eyes White Dragon and saw some previous pictures. He reminds himself of the battle against Yugi at Alcatraz Duel Tower. When Osiris and Obelisk were all destroyed, both Yugi and Kaiba were brought back shortly to the past. At this time, he is facing the same experience. Seeing that Kaiba becomes quiet, Yami Bakura provokes him to continue. So Kaiba no longer cares any illusion and keeps on this duel. He lets Blue Eyes White Dragon attack suddenly. However, Yami Bakura opens his permanent trap card, Ghost Shield (Shiryoo No Tate) ,at once. By its effect, it allows Yami Bakura to take a fiend-type or undead-type monster from his graveyard. Then the attack of the opponent's monster is invalid. As a result, Yami Bakura takes Headless Knight out from the cemetry and Blue Eyes White Dragon's attack is invalid. Also, as long as Yami Bakura can satisfy this condition by his monsters in the graveyard, this effect has been continued. Setting a card, Kaiba ends his turn.

In Yami Bakura's turn, drawing a card and playing a magic card, Jar of Greed, to draw additional two cards, Yami Bakura plays a magic card, Neiki Ouiju (I am sorry that I can't find proper English term for this word now T_T). Then there is a stone tablet coming out on Kaiba's field and Lord of Dragon is sealed inside the tablet. The sealed monster is lost all of its effects. Yami Bakura also explains that the way to free the monster is to destroy it. Yet, Kaiba has to get 500 damage. It also means that next time Yami Bakura can let his Doppler Token attack Blue Eyes White Dragon because Lord of Dragon's effect has already been sealed. When attacked by Doppler Token, Blue Eyes White Dragon's attack points are decreased to 1200 (3000-1800). After that, Yami Bakura lets Diabound Carnel attack Blue Eyes White Dragon. Suddenly, Kaiba opens his trap card, Armor of Conducting the attack (Kougeki Yuudou Armor), which can transfer the attack to the equipped monster. Kaiba chooses to eqiup this armor to Lord of Dragon. Thus, Diabound Carnel's attack instead moves to destroy Lord of Dragon sealed in the tablet. Kaiba's LP goes down to 1200 (2300+1200-1800). Setting two cards, Yami Bakura ends his turn.

Move is back to Kaiba. He understands that Yami Bakura has researched his deck a lot. Anyway, he will get the victory by his Blue Eyes White Dragon. Then he plays a magic card, Treasure of Slashing Life (Inochiketsuri No Housatsu), which allows Kaiba to draw additional 5 cards. However, he has to discard all cards on his hand in the next 5 turns. Yami Bakura claims that no matter kind of card Kaiba will play doesn't affect him because he still has Ghost Shield to block the strike. Anyway, Kaiba has already planned to destroy that strategy. Next, he plays another magic card, Emacipation of Soul (Tamashi No Kaihou). By its effect, both players select up to five cards from their graveyards and remove them from the game. As a result, the monsters, in Yami Bakura's graveyard are all removed from the game. That means Ghost Duke and Ghost Count are gone from the cemetry. When Yami Bakura has no undead-type or fiend-type monster to satisfy Ghost Shield's condition, Ghost Shield is gone respectively. Continuously, Kaiba plays another magic card, Silent Dead (Moku Suru Shisha) which allow him to resummon a monster from his cemetry in an defense mode. Therefore, Kaiba resummons Blood Vorse. Sacrificing Blood Vorse and Blue Eyes White Dragon (1200), Kaiba summons another Blue Eyes White Dragon (3000). Yami Bakura hardly believes that

Revival Ouiju Sosei No Ouiju Trap Card

Kaiba would sacrifice Blue Eyes White Dragon to summon another one. Kaiba lets Blue Eyes White Dragon attack Diabound Carnel at once, thus Yami Bakura's LP goes down to 1400 (2600+1800-3000). Anyway, Yami Bakura hasn't given up yet. He suddenly opens his trap card, Mirror Wall Ouiju (Kyoheki No Ouiju). At the same time, he plays another trap card, Revival Ouiju (Sosei No Ouiju). Yami Bakura explains that Revival Ouiju can be activated only if a monster is destroyed. Then he can revive a monster from his graveyard. Thus, Diabound Carnel is resummoned. In addition, by Mirror Wall Ouiju's effect that can also be activated when a monster is destroyed, it can absorb a half of the destroyed monster's attack points and add that attack power to a monster. Also, the monster can counterattack at once. Accordingly, a half of Blue Eyes White Dragon's attack points, 1500 (3000/2), is added up to Diabound Carnal (1800+1500=3300). Yami Bakura lets Diabound Carnel attack Blue Eyes White Dragon, Kaiba's LP, therefore, goes down to 900 (1200+3000-3300). Anyway, Kaiba doens't give up. He plays a magic card, Raise Dead (Monster Reborn - Shisha Sousei), to resummon Blue Eyes White Dragon. Seeing that, Yami Bakura feels glad because real ability of Diabound Carnel is to absorb the monster that destroys it. Then the sun rises and Yami Bakura declares to stop the game. Kaiba wonders whether Yami Bakura is going to run away. Yami Bakura tells him that he has a trip today. Anyway, Yami Bakura gives Kaiba a millennium eye of Pegasus, inviting him to come to play the untimate game in Egypt. He attracts Kaiba by saying that there is some hidden connection between Kaiba and Blue Eyes White Dragon there. Kaiba is very curious what it will be. The Yami Bakura leaves the stage, going to his destination, Egypt.

[ Yami Bakura ]	Shi! It is time. It is pity, Seto! This is enough for today.
[ Kaiba ]	What! Are you leaving the duel?
[ Yami Bakura ]	Today, I have a trip. I would like to give you this!
[ Kaiba ]	This is... Pegasus...!?
[ Yami Bakura ]	Yes, that is a millennium eye. I would like to invite you to the ultimate game. If you want to see the conclusion, you have follow your way to Egypt.
[ Kaiba ]	Egypt? Ridiculous! I am not interested in occult matter at all.
[ Yami Bakura ]	Aren't you interested in some connection between you and your Blue Eyes there?
[ Kaiba ]	Me and Blue Eyes?
[ Yami Bakura ]	I will be waiting for you there, Seto. Ha Ha Ha!!
[ Kaiba ]	The connection between me and Blue Eyes...?

At the airport, Yugi is also ready to go to Egypt. Then he sees that Anzu, Jyonouchi and Honda are also there to go with him. Nobody would like Yugi to go alone. Anzu pays Jyonouchi for trip fee and hopes Jyonouchi will pay her back later. Yugi really appreciates his friend's feeling. Yami Yugi is thinking that it is time to start his journey to Egypt to recover his memory. Also, he may have to face against Bakura by the ultimate shadow game there. Finally, the aeroplane to Cairo is taking off...
