[ screenshots ]

[ Translating ]

The theif Bakura and his followers start attacking the city at night. They are riding horse and firing people's residents. Some part of the city is under the fire. The thief Bakura is moving towards the royal palace while many guards are trying to stop him. However, his horse can jump over the soldiers and his followers begins attacking them. At the same time inside the loyal palace, the priest Mahado feels the confused future coming closer from his millennium rod. Suddenly, the theif Bakura with a red cloak attacks a guard and then appears in front of the priests and Pharaoh. He greets Yugi and calls him Pharaoh, telling him that the game has finally begun. His purpose for coming here is to take all millennium items.

[ The Thief Bakura]	Doke Doke....! (Expression)
[ Guards ]	Stop! Stop! Do you know where here is?
[ The Thief Bakura]	Shut up! If you still love your lives, open your way now!
[ Guards ]	Wa... Wait!
[ Inside the loyal palace ]
[ The Priest Mahado ]	Ah..
[ The Priest Akunadin ]	What's wrong, Mahado?
[ The Priest Mahado ]	The millennium ring can sense powerful dark power.
[ The Priest Akunadin ]	What!?
[ Guards ]	Ahhhh.....
[ The Priest Mahado ]	Who's that?
[ The Thief Bakura]	Here the king is!
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	Bakura!
[ The Thief Bakura]	Hi Hi Hi! I've finally met you Yugi. No! Now I should call you Pharaoh. Come on! Game has already started

On the other side, little Yugi is holding his millennium puzzle, thinking that there is a real door, which connects to the memory world of Yami Yugi, inside Yami Yugi's maze mind in the millennium puzzle. Shadi warns him that a person who isn't a millennium-item holder may not return from the maze if he enters and can't find the real door. By this condition, he asks whether everybody still wants to go. While Honda and Jyonouchi are certain to go, little Yugi says that he will go alone because he doesn't want to let his friends be in danger. Of course, everybody disagrees with little Yugi and insists to go with him, no matter what. He or she claims that this is what friends are for. As a result, Shadi tells people to hold their hands together in circle. Then he raises his millennium ankh up and releases its power to go inside Yami Yugi's maze mind in the millennium puzzle. So, both millennium puzzle and ankh start glowing..

Back to the memory world, the priest Akunadin tries to explain to the thief Bakura that merely the soul-trained priests and Pharaoh can hold the millennium items. An evil guy like the thief Bakura will die once he touchs them. Anyway, the theif Bakura isn't afraid of that kind of story. I really want to take them all. In fact, he needs to exchange them with his tributes. After that, the thief Bakura throws out many treasures that he took from Pharaoh's tomb. While people are surprised by those stuffs, the theif Bakura whistles his mouth to call his horse. Then the horse is running inside the palace, dragging a casket with it. The thief Bakura steps on the casket while everybody has just realized that it is the casket of previous Pharaoh. Hearing that, Pharaoh Yugi wonders whether the remain is his father. The priest Seto is getting angry, calling out the seal stone tablet. So the two soldiers push the tablet beside the theif Bakura. Yet, the thief Bakura doesn't express any worry at all. While the priest Shada is going to start his first act, the priest Karim warns him and lets him look at his millennium scale. It is measuring evil level of the theif Bakura, swinging left and right a lot. Meanwhile, the priest Akunadin feels through the thief Bakura's mind by his millennium eye, seeing such deep and powerful dark heart. Anyway, the priest Shada first releases power of the millennium ankh to let him go inside the theif Bakura's mind. There is such a big and white snake attacking him. The priest Shada is very shocked and has to step back from the heart. Everybody is also surprised what is going on. The priest Shada tells people that the thief Bakura's Ka is too powerful to be sealed in the stone tablet. Then, the priest Akunadin warns people be aware of Ka coming out. The theif Bakura releases his Ka that has the top form of human body with wings and the bottom form of snake called Diabound. People are all amazed why this evil thief has such strong Ka like god. Later, the priest Seto uses power of his millennium ring seal Diabound into the stone tablet. However, Diabound can break the tablet and come out again. So, the thief Bakura is laughing very loudly with his pleasure.

[ The Thief Bakura]	Ha ha ha! Do you think whether your power can beat me?
[ The Priest Akunadin ]	Listen carefully, the thief! The seven millenniums are maintaining balance of the world. People who can hold them must be only Pharaoh, who represents god, and the priests, who have soul training. If a person with evil heart like you touches them, his soul will be burnt and he will be finally dead.
[ The Thief Bakura]	Hi Hi! Don't say that to me. The more you say that, the more I desire them.
[ The Priest Seto ]	So, we will sanction you with death by our power!
[ The Thief Bakura]	Don't be frustrated! If you would like to save your lives, you had better submit all millennium items to me.
[ The Priest Shada ]	What..!?
[ The Thief Bakura]	Of course, in other words, exchange with these.
[ Shimon ]	These...these are...
[ The Priest Akunadin ]	Could they be...!?
[ The Thief Bakura]	Ottto!! It is too fast to be surprised. There is another gift that I haven't showed you yet.
[ The theif Bakura whistles to call his horse ]
[ The Priest Shada ]	What's that?
[ The Priest Akunadin ]	That is.. Akunumkanon's casket!
[ The Priest Seto ]	You!! How dare you touch the body of previous Pharaoh!
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	Previous Pharaoh !? Probably, is he my dad!?
[ The Priest Mahado ]	You..!
[ The Priest Seto ]	Your place will be ended up here! The Seal Stone!!
[ The Thief Bakura]	What are you going to start with this thing? Ha Ha Ha!
[ The Priest Shada ]	Every thief who has reached here must get a large hit!
[ The Priest Karim ]	Hold on! Be careful Shada!
[ The Priest Shada ]	Karim...!?
[ The Priest Karim ]	Look at the inclination of this millennium scale! It is measuring level of evil mind inside this guy.
[ The Priest Akunadin ]	Um... darkness in his heart is very deep. It is also full of tremendous evil.
[ The Thief Bakura]	Hi..!
[ The Priest Shada ]	Millennium Anhk! Let me go into the heart of this guy!
[ The Thief Bakura]	Hi Hi Hi ..!
[ The Priest Shada ]	Ahhhhh !! That Ka...
[ The Priest Akunadin ]	What's wrong, Shada?
[ The Priest Shada ]	Ka of that is too powerful. That seal stone is too small!
[ The Priest Seto ]	Impossible!!
[ The Priest Akunadin ]	Don't be excited! Ka of that guy is coming out!
[ The Thief Bakura]	Ha Ha Ha..!
[ The Priest Shada ]	What is this Ka!?
[ The Priest Akunadin ]	I hardly believe it! Why such a strong Ka like god exists inside the theif's mind.
[ The Thief Bakura]	Ha Ha Ha..! What's wrong with you? Are you scared of my Diabound?
[ The Priest Seto ]	Don't look down power of millennium items! The Thief! I will show you power of the millennium rod. Evil! Seal!
[ The priest Seto seals Diabound into the seal stone ]
[ The Priest Seto ]	Have you seen it yet, power of the millennium rod?
[ The Thief Bakura]	Hi Hi Hi..! The Priests..if the evil is sealed, am I changed into a good guy?
[ The Priest Seto ]	What? !!! That seal stone!?
[ The seal stone is broken out and Diabound is released ]
[ The Thief Bakura]	Ha Ha Ha..!

Inside Yami Yugi's maze mind, Jyonouchi is trying to wake little Yugi, Anzu and Honda up. When people get up, they find themselves in the maze full of doors in Yami Yugi's heart. Then Shadi appears, saying that they have reached Pharaoh's maze mind by power of the millennium ankh. Everyone is ready to look for the real door now. Little Yugi is thinking of Yami Yugi. No matter what, he has to find the door and finally go there to help him. At Kaiba Corporation, Isona is reporting to Kaiba that Yugi, Anzu, Jyonouchi and Honda are travelling to Egypt. Kaiba is amazed by this news, looking at the millennium eye and reminding himself of what Yami Bakura said to him before. Yami Bakura invited him to Egypt to play the ultimate game, also saying about some connection between Blue Eyes White Dragon and him. Yet, Kaiba thinks that it is such a ridiculous story.

Diabound VS Gales Glass

Back to the loyal palace, the theif Bakura is claiming strength of Diabound that no one can defeat. So the priest Akunadin tells people to show the thief real power of the priests. Then, the six priests stand by their equipment like an ancient duel disk on their left arms. Seeing that, Pharaoh Yugi is amazed by such a strange form of duel disk. As a result, Shimon explains that the equipment is called Dia Diank (Ancient term of "Duel Disk"). There are seven sanctuaries, which each is called Ouiju, around court where store Ka tablets. Dia Diank is used to summon those Ka from those Ouiju shrines. Anyway, the thief Bakura feels that this is like a fun game. The priest Akunadin tells the priest Seto to fight in team because Diabound is very strong. However, the priest Seto persists that he can fight alone, calling a Ka from his Ouiju shrine. Ka there moves from its stone tablet at the shrine to the Dia Diank of the priest Seto. Next, the priest Seto declares to summon this Ka, Gales Glass. Pharaoh Yugi's understood that this scene is like a duel monster battle. In this world exist the duelists.

Dia Diank Ancient Duel Disk

The priest Seto lets his Gales Glass attack Diabound at once. Suddenly, the theif Bakura summons Facos (I think that it looks like Big 2 in Noa series) to counterattack. So Gales Glass is finally destroyed. The priests are all surprised how the theif Bakura could summon another Ka. As a result, the thief Bakura says that they have already forgotten something. Then he shows Dia Diank on his left hand that he also took out from Pharaoh Akunumkanon's tomb. In other words, he is using Pharaoh Akunumkanon's Ka sealed in the tablet at the tomb. Of course, everybody is very angry to what the theif Bakura did to their kind Pharaoh. However, the theif Bakura is against those words. He steps on the casket aggressively again, saying that the creator of the millennium items was, in fact, Pharaoh Akunumkanon. Also, he reals the truth that there is hidden tremendous power hidden in these items. When the seven millennium items are all gathered back to their original stone tablet at Kuruelna Village, the gate to the world of death will be opened. The thief Bakura claims that , perhaps, Pharaoh Ankunumkanon would like to gain the tremendous power, so he created the seven millennium items. While everybody is amazed by what the theif Bakura said, only the priest Akunadin looks too much surprised. He hardly believes that there is a survivor who knows the secret of Kuruelna Village (If you would like to know this secret of the millennium items, go and read here). Even Yugi is getting shocked when he perceives that his father created the seven millennium items. After that, the priest Akunadin tells everybody to release fully power of the priests. So, the priest Seto calls Minotaurus, Karim calls Busteto (My friend has no idea either how to call it properly T_T), Isis calls Superia, Shada calls Zelda, Akunadin calls Gardius, and Mahado calls Illusive Magician. All Ka are called from the six Ouiju shrines and summons as monsters. The priest Mahado first opens the attack, letting his Illusive Magician destroy Facos. Although losing Ka, the theif Bakura doesn't care that much. He lets Diabound counterattack abruptly. So the priest Akunadin's, Karim's and Shada's Ka are destroyed while Minotarus, Superia and Illusive Magician are strongly hit to the poles. Then the priest Mahado offers himself to go into the front line; however, the priest Seto stops him, claiming that power of Mahado's Ka can't be against Diabound. Anyway, he has another idea. The priest Seto calls another Ka, Kentaurous, from his Ouiju shrine and summons it. After that, the priest Karim activates special ability of his millennium scale (Ka Youkou) to fuse two Ka. As a result, Minotaurus is combined with Kentaurous and become Minokentaurous. The priest Seto lets it attack Diabound at once. Yet, Diabound can block the strike by holding Minokentaruous's hand with its bottem snake form. In fact, this is what the priest Seto's expected. Then the priest Mahado activates special ability of Illusive Magician, which can seal Diabound's movement by its spell. However, Diabound can break the spell easily and destroy both Minokentaruous and Ilusive Magician. The priests are strongly attacked again.

Shimon is very shocked by that the thief Bakura alone can withstand the six priests.Then, Pharaoh Yugi asks Bakura angrily whether this is what the ultimate game that Bakura said before. Anyway, the theif Bakura doesn't care, continuing Diabound's attack. Lastly, the priest Isis lets her Superia create a barrier to protect everybody, so she gets a great hit. At this point, Ka of the six priests are all destroyed. The theif Bakura laughes loudly for his victory. Suddenly, Pharoah Yugi comes into the front row to face the theif Bakura by himself. The priest Akunadin and Seto try to let him go back. Anyway, Pharaoh Yugi claims that his isn't the game. It is merely the murder and the plunder. Then the thief Bakura sees that Pharaoh Yugi hasn't understood anything yet, so he kicked the casket back to him. Shimon comes out and cries over the casket of Pharaoh Akunumkanon. He tells Pharaoh Yugi that he knows Pharaoh Akunumkanon very well. Previous Pharaoh is a great man who brought peace to the kingdom. Pharaoh Yugi falls on his knees and calls for his dad. Suddenly, he hears his father's voice saying that justice is in the name of god (Seigi wa Kami no Na no Moto Ni Aru). That lets Pharaoh Yugi stand up and face the theif Bakura again. He says that the theif Bakura has already forgotten his great servants of the three gods. Standing by his Dia Diank, Pharaoh Yugi calls Obelisk from his Ouiju and summons it. All people are amazed by tremendous power of this god. Then Diabound and Obelisk attack each other violently. At the same time at Kaiba Corporation, Kaiba feels that he hears some Blue Eyes from the millennium eye. Back to the memory world, there is an appearance of a white and long hair girl (Kisara) standing outside the kingdom and looking at the loyal palace.

[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	Bakura! Stop your dirty step !
[ The Priest Akunadin ]	Pharaoh!
[ The Priest Seto ]	Pharaoh! Here is dangerous...please step back!
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	What is the ultimate shadow game? These are the stupid plunder and the slaughter. You even dare step on the deceased body. All of these things that you have done came from your head.
[ The Thief Bakura]	Hoo..! This is bad. You seem not to remember yet. How slow! Hora.. Take it back!
[ The theif Bakura kicks the casket back to Pharaoh ]
[ Shimon ]	Oh.. The King Akunumkanon. I have never imagined that you are returning in this form. Pharaoh..please believe this! This Shimon was an aide of previous Pharaoh Akunumkanon for a long time. This loyal father was the great king for all of his lifetime. He did everything for peace of the kingdom and for his people.... Pharaoh.
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	My dad...
[ Pharaoh Akunumkanon]	Justice is in the name of god!
[ The Thief Bakura]	Yugi, only one of us has to end this ultimate shadowgame. So I have to gather your seven millennium items. That is my term to rob them. And this is the conclusion, Yugi! (In fact, I feel confused by my friend's translation a bit. I am sorry if I translated these words wrongly T_T)
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	It won't be easy as you think..
[ The Thief Bakura]	Hi.. whatever... Laxel Hard (Diabound's attack)
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	Bakura! You've already forgotten the most important thing. The three powerful Servants... existence of the three gods!
[ The Priest Mahado ]	The three gods!?
[ The Priest Akunadin ]	Could it be... the three legendary gods?
[ Shimon ]	The three gods on the seal tablets!? Anyway, only chosen Pharaoh can realize those god names. Or...does it mean this new Pharaoh...?
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	Now, it is time to summon the body of god! One of the three gods ! That name is..
[ Pharaoh Akunumkanon]	Justice is in the name of god!
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	Dad... I believe in what you said. Summon Obelisk!!
[ The Thief Bakura]	What...Obelisk!?
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	God Hand Crusher!
[ The Thief Bakura]	That isn't easy. Diabound's special effect, Burst Stream!!
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	What....Ah...!!
