Yami Yugi quotes from Yu-Gi-Oh!

Kyutora has another ability! Whenever it's destroyed, it evolves!

Oh, no! What's going on?!

What is that?!

My little friend is all grown up, so playtime's over! Gentlemen, I'd like you meet Orichalcos Shunoros!

Did you see what I see?!

Unfortunately.

See what?

Tristan

That thing's got 20,000 points!

Don't look so surprised. You're the ones who created this unstoppable beast! You may have destroyed my previous monsters, but you unleashed something far worse!

It can wipe us out in one strike!

You're absolutely right, but before I do that, I have some more bad news to share. Orichalcos Shunoros, activate your special ability! Release Orichalcos Dexia… and Orichalcos Aristeros!

What's the meaning of this?!

Allow me to clear things up. Shunoros just released two more creatures. The first one is known as Dexia, and its attack strength is always 300 points higher than the monster it's battling, making it the perfect sword! And the second one is just as strong. It will intercept every one of your attacks and retaliate with a blast that's 300 points greater than the one you fired, making Orichalcos Aristeros the perfect shield! You'll never get past my triple threat!

[thinking] Not only is his monster more powerful than Kaiba's dragon… but with Dexia and Aristeros on the front line, our attacks won't even get through!

I activate the trap card, Martyr Curse! This forces one of your monsters to engage in a battle with one of my monsters. And as a nasty little side effect, it cancels out any special abilities your creature may have. And since I don't seem to have much of a choice, I'll target your Mirror Force Dragon! Without its reflecting power, your dragon's completely defenseless, which means you're about to be out one soul! Orichalcos Shunoros, remove Kaiba's Life Points so the Orichalcos can remove his spirit!

Pharaoh, it looks like you're the soul survivor.

You disgust me.

I'll tell you what. Since I already have what I need... You can keep the rest of him!

Don't worry, Pharaoh. Your friends are fine. I don't need weak souls. I just wanted to spend some quality time with you, one-on-one. Is that so wrong?

That's enough!

But there's something I think you'll want to know. You and I met 5,000 years ago when you were king of Egypt. We may not have been officially introduced, but I was there watching you.

Go on.

When the battle of Atlantis ended, I thought the Great Leviathan was gone forever. That is, until I met you.

Hold on! What does that evil creature of yours have to do with me?!

I thought you'd never ask. Behold the Palace of the Pharaoh in year 3000 B.C.! Ring any bells? Hmm?

[shocked by the Pharaoh's Millennium Puzzle preventing the Orichalcos to take his soul] Impossible! No one can overcome the power of the Orichalcos! You should have lost the duel! What's going on?! Why didn't the Seal take your soul?! Tell me!

You forced me to gaze inside my heart, thinking I would find only darkness. But you were wrong.

Then you gazed in the wrong place!

Look, believe what you wish, but I know the truth. My heart is filled with the light of friendship, and no magic can take that away, no matter how strong it is. So, thank you. You reminded me that my friends are always with me. And we're going to win this fight and take you down together! Dartz… It all ends right now! [draws and gasps; thinking] It's the card Pegasus gave me! I can sense it!

Well? Get on with it.

Do you know what's in my hand? The key to unlocking the secret of the legendary dragons!

[gasps] What?!

You heard me. Legend of Heart! I give up 1,000 Life Points and remove my Obnoxious Celtic Guardian from the field! This lets me summon Critias, Hermos, and Timaeus in their true form!

Finally! After 10 millennia in captivity, we've been set free!

No! Not them!

I am he who is named Timaeus!

And I am… Sir Critias!

I am known as… Sir Hermos!

In the name of Atlantis… we have been reborn!

[shocked in disbelief] I thought I took care of you centuries ago! [The three knights slam their swords onto the ground and destroy the Seal of Orichalcos; horrified] What have you done?! My precious Seal is gone!

Your ring of darkness is useless in our presence!

Did you forget our last encounter?

I certainly did not. And I have a score to settle with you!

The time has come to weaken your defense!

You lose, Dartz. Your 10,000 year quest is finally over.

It can't be. I've come too close. All I need is one more powerful soul and the Great Leviathan will arise from the depths of the earth.

Too little, too late. Your serpent has been destroyed, and with that, our duel come to an end. Now release the souls of my friends and everyone else you've held captive.

[Sees Yugi standing with his back to them] Is that Yugi?

Tristan

Nah, it's the Pharaoh.

No, Tristan, I think Yugi's back!

Mokuba

He does kinda look shorter.

[in tears] It is you, Yugi!

Téa?

I thought we'd never see you again!

It's good to see you, too.

Joey

All right, Out of my way people. Where's my little buddy? Ha Ha! Yug! Man did I miss this spikey little head.

Hey, Joey!

The gang is back!

Tristan

Don't forget about me!

Yugi, the Legendary Knights have set you free.

Does that mean you beat Dartz?

Yes, Yugi. But as soon as our duel ended, he disappeared into some vortex, and I have a bad feeling the worst is yet to come, but at least we'll face it together.

Joey Wheeler

[to Dartz] That does it! Bring it on, you mutant!

Not the best time to be insulting him, Joey.

[as Rebecca activates her Gravity Bind continuous trap card, preventing every monster with more than three stars from attacking; thinking] That little brat's gonna pay! No one makes a fool out of me! [speaking] This duel's far from done!

Well, so far so good.

Duke

I guess, but Rebecca's trap card affects her own monsters too. If they have more than three stars, she can't use them.

That's not good.

I'm sure that this is all part of her plan. She'll be just fine.

Get a load of this! First… I'm activating Marie the Fallen One's special ability from the card graveyard! Now I automatically receive 200 extra Life Points for every turn that Marie remains in the graveyard. And to finish things off, I'll activate the special ability of my Fire Princess! So every time my Life Points increase, yours decrease by 500!

I knew it.

Awesome! Rebecca's three-card combo allows her to automatically lowers Vivian's Life Points every turn!

He's eliminating Joey's best monsters one-by-one!

I have a feeling that's been Zigfried's strategy since the beginning of the duel. He's using his magic ring and his three goddesses to dismantle Joey's deck one card at a time!

All right, first I'll summon my Skilled Dark Magician to the field in Attack Mode! Second, I activate Pot of Greed, which lets me draw two more cards from my Deck! [The first Spell Counter lights up on the Skilled Dark Magician] Then, I'll play this - the Emblem of Dragon Destroyer! It lets me bring Buster Blader back to my hand! [Now another Spell Counter lights up on the Skilled Dark Magician]

What are those lights?!

They're Spell Counters! With every Magic Card I play, another one lights up! [Vivian gasps] I'm afraid there's more! My final Magic Card! It's known as Monster Reincarnation! So Dark Magician's back in my Deck! [The third and final Spell Counter lights up on the Skilled Dark Magician] And now all three of my Spell Counters are glowing! So I can sacrifice my Skilled Dark Magician in order to summon Dark Magician! There's more. I play Polymerization, fusing my Dark Magician with my Buster Blader! Behold the creature of your demise - my Dark Paladin! And there's one more thing you should know: Dark Paladin gets 500 ATK points for every Dragon on the field and in our Graveyards.

THAT CAN'T BE! I JUST SENT FOUR MY DRAGONS TO MY CARD GRAVEYARD! IT'S NOT FAIR! [Dark Paladin's ATK strength increases to 4,900 points]

Oh, it's quite fair. Now, Dark Paladin, wipe out her Dragon Lady and her life points! Game over.

All right. The only way to get through to you is to duel you with all of my strength. Here goes! I'll begin by playing my Queen's Knight in attack mode! Now, attack his Forest Hunter with Majestic Sword Swipe! Next, I'll place one card facedown and that ends my turn.

I was hoping you'd say that. All right. Thanks to the special ability of my Iron Cage, I'm able to bring an old friend back to the field. Of course, now that my Hans is back in the action, my Iron Knight's strength drops back to 700. But that doesn't worry me one bit, 'cause Iron Hans also lets me play this…another Iron Knight! And next I'll activate my Spinning Wheel Spindle! How's that?

What can he possibly do to Yugi with a giant roll of string?

[remembers] Wait, I know that card! I saw it in Leon's deck when I dueled against him. It's a monster destruction card!

Time to reenact the story of Sleeping Beauty with your Queen!

I can't even control my own monsters.

We'll be fine. [draws] Now… Since three turns have passed since you played Spinning Wheel Spindle, my Queen's Knight returns! For my next move, I'll place these two cards facedown on the field. And then I'll activate this! It's my Card of Sanctity! This magic card allows both players to draw until we're holding six cards in our hands. Now I summon my King's Knight in attack mode. And since King's Knight and Queen's Knight are both on the field, I'm able to summon Jack's Knight from my deck to join them!

If you're through wasting everyone's time, may I remind you, your three knights are useless against my Golden Castle!

I wouldn't be so sure. Now I activate… my Royal Straight! This magic card allows me to summon an extremely powerful monster from either my deck, my hand, or my graveyard. So behold! Royal Straight Slasher! And next I'll activate my Royal Straight Slasher's special ability! Now, when I send one monster from each of the first five levels to the graveyard, Slasher destroys every card on my opponent's side of the field!

Joey

Nice thinking, Yugi! Trap and magic cards don't work, but monster abilities do!

[sends every first five level monsters to the graveyard, one-by-one] Level one-- Kuriboh! Level two-- my Old Vindictive Magician! Level three-- Giant Soldier of Stone! Level four-- my Big Shield Gardna! Level five-- my Curse of Dragon! Now… destroy all his cards, including his Golden Castle!

Ishizu

May I speak with the Pharaoh? [The Pharaoh's spirit takes over] My King, it is an honor. You have returned home. Allow me to be your guide.

Please. The pleasure's mine.

Pharaoh, I want you to have this. [takes out a metallic cartouche from her pocket and offers it to him]

What is it?

It's a cartouche. The guy in the store said Ancient Pharaohs used to carve their names on them.

But this cartouche is completely blank, Téa.

I know. That's why I bought it. I figured that when you get your memory back, you can put your name there. That way you can be sure you'll never forget it again. I remembered seeing a picture of one on that tablet, but the name on it was worn away. But hopefully, soon, your life won't be a mystery anymore.

I don't know what to say. I'll never take it off.

Joey

We're doomed.

Yugi, were you able to locate my name?

Uh, yeah.

Well, then… What is it?

[chuckles evilly] These humans may have found the location of your real name, Pharaoh, however, they were unable to read it!

But why?

It's simple. The word in question is written in a language unfamiliar to them.

Is that true?

[sighs] It's true. We made it through your tomb, and there it was on the back wall. There was only one problem. Your name was carved in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics! I know what it looked like. I just don't know how to say it.
