[ Translating ]

The priest Bakura attacks the priest Akunadin violently at his Ouiju shrine. The priest Akunadin looks very surprised when he has realized that Bakura was, in fact, a survivor from Kuruelna village, the village where the priest Akunadin destroyed once upon a time. Bakura is thinking about what he should do to the priest Akunadin, getting an idea that he should rerun the same story once occurred before 3,000 years ago in this shadow game (memory world=ultimate game=shadow game). As a result, he makes a decision to inspire evil mind in the priest Akunadin's millennium eye. Bakura slowly moves his hand to take the millennium eye, the priest Akunadin, therefore, screams loudly with pain.

[ The Thief Bakura]	Ha ha ha! The millennium ring can make power of my evil mind invincible.
[The priest Akunadin ]	You...probably...Mahado...?
[ The Thief Bakura]	Hoo! You..., a guy who brought Kuruelna (Village) into holocaust still cares about the death of your friend.
[The priest Akunadin ]	What!? Why...this..? (Why do you know this?)
[ The Thief Bakura]	That is because I was a survivor from Kuruelna village.
[The priest Akunadin ]	Ha...!
[ The Thief Bakura]	Well..how can this should be!? This is a shadow game, isn't it. So I have no relation to it.
[The priest Akunadin ]	What are you talking about?
[ The Thief Bakura]	I am going to make you become my hand as I ever did 3,000 years ago. By power of this (millennium ring), I will inspire evil mind into your millennium eyes.
[The priest Akunadin ]	Ah...
[ The Thief Bakura]	You will show your granted desire 3,000 years ago.
[The priest Akunadin ]	Aaaah....!!

At the same time, Pharaoh Yugi standing on a terrace of a royal palace feels something from his millennium puzzle. He wonders whether this is a sign of anything. Then Shimon hurries to come in and reports that a lower village has already been annihilated. While Pharaoh is getting surprised by this news, the Ouiju shrine of the priest Akunadin starts collapsing. The priest Seto staying with Kisara is also hearing this collapsing voice. Meanwhile, Pharaoh sees Bakura running away inside the royal palace's courtyard. All soldiers have just realized that Bakura's already been inside the palace, they alerts to searh for him. Anyway, Bakura attacks a soldier to take a horse from him.

At the Ouiju shrine, the priest Karim, Shada and Seto are very worried about the priest Akunadin falling down because of Bakura's attack. The priest Akunadin tries to call Seto and he then is unconscious. Holding the priest Akunadin's hand, Shada tells Seto not to be worried about him. The priest Akunadin is fine. Anyway, there is a trace of attempt to take the millennium eye from the eye of the priest Akunadin. Seeing that, the priest Seto is very furious. So, he lets Shada take care of the priest Akunadin while he and the priest Karim will go to catch Bakura.

Inside the royal palace, the theif Bakura is riding his horse to run away, summoning Diabound to strike all soldiers obstructing him. Diabound expresses itseld again by camouflage ability getting from the battle against Mahado. Suddenly, Pharaoh Yugi gets on his horse, chasing Bakura. Also, he summons the sky dragon of Osiris to fight against Diabound. No matter what, he has to stop Bakura from hurting people. Anyway, Bakura is pleasure to have the second battle against Pharaoh at this time. Then Bakura and Diabound destroy the main gate of the palace and move into the city while Pharaoh Yugi is closely following him. Meanwhile, little Yugi, Anzu, Jyonouchi, Honda, Bobasa sleeping in front of the gate have got up by the battle sound. They see Pharaoh with Osiris chasing Bakura, and understand that the guy in the strange costume must be Yugi. So all of them start running and following Pharaoh and Bakura.

[ The Thief Bakura]	Ha ha ha! Whoever obstructs must become victim of Diabound....!?
[ Pharaoh Yugi gets on his horse to chase the theif Bakura ]
[ The Thief Bakura]	Ha..King-Sama (Ou-Sama) comes out by himself this time.
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	I won't let you run away, Bakura! Summon god...come on the sky dragon of OSIRIS!
[ The Thief Bakura]	(Finally, it has expressed..the second god, the sky dragon of Osiris) Great, King-Sama! This is our new battle of the second fight. You can chase me until the bottom of the hell.
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	Bakura! I will no longer let you hurt the others.
[ Bakura and Pharaoh Yugi leave the palace and move into the city ]
[ Little Yugi ]	Another I!
[ Jyonouchi ]	Yugi! There is nothing wrong. That stange appearance must be Yugi!
[ Honda ]	The person running in the front is Bakura, isn't he!?
[ Anzu ]	Yugi..
[ Little Yugi ]	Everybody, let's go!

At the royal palace, the priest Akunadin is getting rest after being attacked. He reminds himself of what the theif Bakura said to him about what he did before to Kuruelna village and about his son, Seto. Then he starts dreaming of his past 15 years ago.

[ 15 years ago ]

The kingdom was being attacked and invaded  by a hostile country. A soldier reported to Pharaoh Akunumkanon (Pharaoh Yugi's father-previous Pharaoh) that the enemy would reach the kingdom within seven days. Pharaoh Akunumkanon was getting worried about the way to protect the kingdom. Then lord Akunadin kept Pharaoh up, telling him not to give up easily. He realized that the target of the enemy was an ancient book called Millennium Spell Book (Sennen Majyutsu Sho). There was a legend about this book, stating that a person who could understand and translate principles of the spell book would obtain great power against gods, demons and any kinds of enemies. If this spell book was taken, the enemy would be stronger and any countries would be threatened. Anyway, Pharaoh Akunumkanon realized that no one had ever been able to translate the book successfully before. However, Akunadin reported that he could finally translate everything in the spell book. Whatever written in the book pertains to a shadow alchemy (RenkinJyutsu). Also, it stated about the way to create seven treasures with mysterious power.If successful, they could strike the enemy, protect Egypt and bring peace to the kingdom. These seven treasures required seven to be performed and Akunadin had already prepared for any process. Keeping on thinking about the seven treasures, Pharaoh Akunumkanon understood that he had no choice. Thus, he counted on Akunadin, his younger brother, to perform this work. Entire future and destiny of the kingdom was on the seven treasures.

Before leaving, Akunadin was saying good bye to his wife and his son, Seto. In order to rescue this kingdom, he had to leave his background of Pharaoh's younger brother. Also, he told his wife to bring up Seto and forgot everything about him. Both of them should move and live in a distant town. From this point on, Seto had only nameless father who died in a soldier. After that, Akunadin left his wife and Seto while his wife was calling his name. Anyway, young Seto was looking his father's leave with innocent fact despite the fact that he was too young to understand the situation.

Akunadin gathered the soldiers to give them evil mission. He first gave his speech that everything they did would be for glory of the kingdom. Future of the kingdom also depended on their work. Then Akunadin and people in his team start hypnotizing the soldiers. Akunadin said that his words would be voice of heaven and voice of destiny that everybody had to agree to. The target of this mission was a nearby village, Kuruelna. So, at that night, Akunadin and the soldiers were moving to the Kuruelna village. In fact, Akunadin didn't tell his brother, Pharaoh Akunumkanon, that performing this shadow alchemy required sacrification of many lives. He had no other choice to protect this kingdom and even couldn't tell his brother the truth. Although he realized well that this mission lacked of inhumanity, he still insisted to do it. He hoped his brother would forgive him for his done.

At Kuruelna village, Akunadin told the soldiers that it had already become the village of theif. Actions of people in this village made gods angry by committing crimes, so all people couldn't be released. Then Akunadin gave his order to catch those people and not to let anyone escape. After that, the terrible and scary night started. The soldiers attacked all villagers in Kuruelna village, capturing and leading them to an underground area of the village where Akunadin was preparing a shadow ritual. Screaming sound of people was loud all over the village. Each body was thrown into boiling liquid and melt into substance. No one had realized that there was a young boy, Bakura, hiding himself and watching all the time what was going on to his neighbours. When all lives were melt together, they were pured into a cavity of a stone to create seven millennium items. To complete this process, Akunadin had to sacrifice lives of both villagers and soldiers. When the ritual was finished, Akunadin and his team took out seven millennium items from the stone. Suddenly, the ground started shaking and breaking apart. There was a lithography coming out from the ground with slots of seven millennium items. Akunadin was surprised to see solely a millennium attached on the lithography. In fact, there was something that Akunadin hadn't known before about secret of this ritual. Then, an evil shadow came out from the millennium ring, holding Akunadin's body up. There was no doubt that it was a shadow of Zork Necrophidius...

something that Akunadin hadn't known before about secret of this ritual. Then, an evil shadow came out from the millennium ring, holding Akunadin's body up. Zork told Akunadin to attach a millennium item, so Akunadin was forced to move a millennium eye into his actual eye. He screamed loudly with pain. After that, Akunadin used power of the millennium eye disperse Zork and took out a millennium ring from the its slot at the lithography. Then, the shadow of Zork was disappeared. Akunadin and his people took out the seven millennium items and moved back to the kingdom. He struggled himself very hard to go back while all of his people and soldiers were dead behind. As a result, there was no one left who knew about the secret creation.

7 days later, the enemy had reached the main gate of the kingdom. Only seven chosen holders of the millennium items were in the front line (Akunadin held the millennium eye, Shimon held the millennium ankh and Pharaoh Akunumkanon held the millennium puzzle. The rests might be parents of Karim/Isis/Mahado). Seven of them activated the seven treasures to summon great seven spirits including Facos, Exodia, Superia and Illusive Magician. The whole spirits launched their power to destroy entire enemy shortly. After that the priest Akunadin remined himself of the date when Seto first received his position as a holder of the millennium rod. Seto was separated from his father and also lived apart from him for a long time. He had never realized that Akunadin was in fact his real father. Anyway, he alone could expressed his talent and climbed up to the highest position, the priest, by himself. Akunadin was impressed by his son's gift and would like to tell his son that he could become a king. Then the priest Akunadin gets up from his dream but he still dreams of his desire letting his son become the king.

[ Shimon ]	At this time, Seto is becoming a new priest who holds a millennium rod. His parents died early. Anyway, he alone has performed outstanding talent in the test for ten years.
[ Pharaoh Akunumkanon]	Rise up your face...Seto!
[ The Priest Seto ]	Now, the millennium rod becomes main factor. From now on, the kingdom will be the place where people pour their heart and blood for existance of prosperity.
[ Pharaoh Akunumkanon]	I count on you, Seto. Well, you may be become a right hand of my son later.
[ The Priest Seto ]	Those were very greatful words.
[ Shimon ]	Huum! Is there anything else, Lord Akunadin?
[The priest Akunadin ]	(Seto-Yo! You may be unable to imagine. Once I threw away my son who alone climbed up to the highest position by himself later. Seto-Yo, you have talent. Also, you have hidden ancestry. You should be a king, Seto, ...if it is you..)

Back to the battle between Pharaoh VS Bakura. Both of them are moving into the city. Diabound starts its new attack ability he got from Mahado, Magic Wave (Madou ha), to Osiris. Bakura explains that Diabound can copy ability of the opponent that it can beat. So it can use ability of Mahado. While Osiris gets some hit, Pharaoh also gets hurt. Then Osiris attacks back by Thunder Flame (Shoraidan). Anyway, Diabound can avoid the attack, hide itself into the ground and appears to attack beside Pharaoh. Meanwhile, Osiris comes down to save him in time and strikes back. So Diabound gets the first hit from the god and Bakura also gets hurt. After that Bakura begins a new game, letting Diabound attack innocent villagers. Seeing that, Pharaoh is getting angry and trying to stop him by letting Osiris as shield for his people. Thus, he gets strong hit instead. That is what Bakura has expected before. He would like to know for how long Pharaoh can stand as shield. When Bakura sees that Osiris can no longer move from its shield position, he lets Diabound attack by Spiral Wave (Rasen Hadou). At the same time, Osiris counterattacks by Thunder Force. Both sides hit against each other so vilolently that little Yugi and the others can see the battle. Then, Osiris drags Diabound to fight on the sky and lets it away from the city. Bakura understands that Osiris, the god which can control thunder, must prevails on the sky battle. However, Diabound can gain advantage in dark fight. So, Diabound's appearance slowly disappears into darkness by its camouflage ability. Then it attacks Osiris strongly from the back side. Both Osiris and Pharaoh get damage again. Bakura tells Pharaoh to surrender by giving him the millennium puzzle and he will leave people. Pharaoh understands that if he submits it to Bakura, he must be defeated. Anyway, he no longer wants to sacrifice any lives. So Pharaoh comes up with his last chance, taking out his millennium puzzle and handing it to Bakura. Bakura looks glad to see that Pharaoh is going to give the puzzle to him. In fact, Pharaoh wants to change Bakura's attention and lets Osiris attack Bakura from the top. He believes that Diabound must appear to protect Bakura. However, Osiris stops its attack at the same time when Diabound appears close to Pharaoh and is ready to attack him. Bakura claims that Diabound didn't hide itself in the sky, and it is time for Pharaoh to die. Suddenly, while Diabound is attacking Pharaoh, Ka of the priest Seto, Dious, appears to save him in time. Turning back, Pharaoh sees the priest Karim, Seto and some soldiers coming...

[ The Thief Bakura]	Ha ha ha! Here is good. Diabound! Show him your new power! Go, Magic Wave (Madou Ha).
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	Auch...!
[ The Thief Bakura]	Diabound can use ability of the opponent that it can beat. This ability (Magic Wave) belongs to Mahado.
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	(Mahado!?) Osiris, Thunder Flame (Shoraidan)!....What!?
[ The Thief Bakura]	Run and Run until you reach your line of death. Die!
[ Instead, Diabound is counterattacked by Osiris ]
[ The Thief Bakura]	Ach...! What a strong hit!
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	Follow him! Osiris!
[ Diabound starts attacking people ]
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	What!?
[ The Thief Bakura]	Ha ha ha! Villagers! Pharaoh has come to visit you.
[ Pharaoh Yugi ]	He hasn't distinguish and made people get involved.
[ The Thief Bakura]	King-Sama Yo! This is a game. How much can you save innocent people from this act?
