Yami Yugi quotes from Yu-Gi-Oh!

Your Dark Magician is destroyed, and your Life Points are almost at zero. One more attack, and that dark energy disc will banish your mind to the Shadow Realm forever!

Never!

You've already lost by putting your trust in a scoundrel like Marik! Do you actually believe that if you defeat me he'll reunite you with your lost love, Catherine? If so, then you're more of a fool than I thought.

Don't listen to him, my sweet! We'll be together soon! [thinking] Marik will be so pleased When I send Yugi to the Shadow Realm! And since he helped me construct my deck specifically to counteract the cards in Yugi's deck, I can't lose!

Arkana! Why don't you save yourself and set us free?!

Ha! And ruin the fun?

This is it! The final performance of Yugi Muto! Your Life Points are almost gone, and you have now monsters to hide behind! As soon as my Dark Magician attacks, you're finished! But first… just in case you're counting on your two facedown cards to rescue you from having to spend all of eternity in the Shadow Realm, I will take the liberty of wiping them out! And I'll take care of the job with my Anti-Magic Arrows! Say goodbye to your last hope! Seek and destroy, my arrows! Looks like I've got you completely pinned down now, Yugi. The show is over! Dark Magician, attack his Life Points directly!

Hmm. Not so fast, Arkana! [the Dark Magic Curtain now appears on his side of the field]

[shocked in horror] What's going on?! My Dark Magic Curtain is working for you?!

Yes! You should read the rules more closely. Its magic summoning power is available to both sides of the dueling field… So that means I can trade half of my Life Points for a monster, too. And just like you did, I'll play… another Dark Magician!

But, wait! I was told you only had one Dark Magician in your deck!

Well, you're partially right, but mostly misinformed!

Stop speaking in riddles!

The card that I now hold in my hand is a different variety of Dark Magician, Arkana, and it is even more powerful than yours is!

You lie! I'd know if another Dark Magician card existed! It can't be!

It is! Say hello to Dark Magician Girl!

[shocked] It's true! A female Dark Magician! But you're wrong about one thing: Your girlfriend's attack points are less than my Dark Magician's. In a head-to-head battle, my monster will wipe her out! It's over! Dark Magician, attack Dark Magician Girl! [laughs] Finally, Yugi's defeated!

I don't think so. Take another look, Arkana!

[in shock of horror] No! My Dark Magician's been beaten! [horrified gasp] But how?! This was supposed to be my grand finale! It can't be! He had 500 more attack points than she did!

Wrong again. Dark Magician Girl gains 300 extra attack points for every Dark Magician that's inside the card graveyard, Arkana… making her strong enough to defeat your Dark Magician.

It still doesn't add up! There's only one Dark Magician card in your graveyard! Even with the extra 300 points, her total is only 2300. That means my Dark Magician still outranks her by 200 points!

Open your eyes! If you were a master of the Dark Magician, you would have seen the answer in front of you.

What?! No… It can't be! My first Dark Magician's there, too! B-But why?! Why would the power of my Dark Magician be reborn in your monster?!

The Dark Magician Girl inherits points from every Dark Magician no matter whose graveyard it's in. So when you destroyed your first magician, you helped give my Dark Magician Girl the power she needed to destroy your second! And now, Arkana… prepare for my grand finale. As I wipe out the last of your Life Points!

[struggling to free his ankles] No! Let me out!

Dark Magician Girl, attack his Life Points directly! [Dark Magician Girl strikes a magic blast at Arkana, dropping his Life Points down to zero] When you mistreat your cards, you pay a high price. You lose!

You call yourself a Dark Magician master? It was your disrespect and your misuse of your own Dark Magicians that caused you to lose this duel, Arkana!

That can't be! There's no way you could have defeated me, Yugi! I am the greatest magician the world has ever known! YOU'RE NOTHING, YUGI!

What I am is very sorry for you. It looks like you led me all the way down here, for the sole purpose of losing at your own demented game, Arkana. You relied on trickery to win instead of trusting and respecting the heart of the cards.

Marik keeps talking about "wanting the power of the Pharaoh." But you are the Pharaoh. If you really all this power inside you, don't you think that we would know about it? I guess you must if saved the world. But what happened?

It's all still unclear.

You and your mind slave will never win my Puzzle, Marik!

[makes the first move; under Marik's control and in distorted voice] I disagree. And now, I set one card facedown. And play this monster in attack mode. Meet Humanoid Slime! This is the beginning of the end for you, Pharaoh. So make your move and prepare to lose everything!

You will fail! [thinking; sighs] Since he played a really weak monster I bet he wants me to attack it. Then he'll use his facedown card to destroy my monster. Well there's no way I'm gonna let him get away with it! [speaking] I also set one card facedown. And then I'll summon a monster known as Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts in attack mode! A stronger beast than yours.

Yes, your monster is almost twice as strong as mine. But don't be so confident that your Gazelle will prevail.

I'm well aware of that.

Then you won't be surprised when my Humanoid Slime annihilates your monster.

I'd like to see you try that, Marik.

Very well. I summon Worm Drake! Now watch what happens when I activate my magic card. Time for Polymerization! I'll use it to fuse Humanoid Slime and Worm Drake together into a diabolical new monster! Behold, my new weapon: Humanoid Worm Drake! Its 2200 attack points are more than enough to destroy your Gazelle as well as a portion of your Life Points!

When you fuse two monsters together, you must wait one turn before you can attack. So you've left yourself wide open, Marik.

That's of no concern to me. Rules are meant to be manipulated. And my facedown card will take care of that task for me. I've simply outsmarted you, Pharaoh.

Let's see!

Just as you wish! Reveal facedown card; the Quick Attack magic card!

You can attack now!

Very perceptive. Quick Attack allows my monster to attack in the same turn it was formed! You've underestimated me as a duelist… and for that, you must pay a price, so watch as I destroy your monster and move one step closer to relieving you of your Millennium Puzzle forever!

Very impressive dueling. But I'm just testing out your strengths and weaknesses so that I can ultimately destroy you and take away all that you possess! It's time for round two, and this duel is about to get interesting. Are you ready? [draws] The card I now hold is like nothing you've ever seen before. It is a creature that simply cannot be destroyed.

It's a shapeless being made completely of plasma with no solid mass. Making it utterly indestructible and the perfect defense against enemy attack.

So prepare to experience… Revival Jam in defense mode! Just try to attack it! You will fail, I tell you!

It looks weak to me, Marik.

It looks weak, does it? Well, take a look at this! It's my Jam Breeding Machine! And it begins the countdown to your destruction!

You've activated my trap card!

Trap card?!

My Lightforce Sword! This trap card allows me to slash one card out of your hand for the duration of the turn! Which lowers your dragon's attack points back to 3,000, making it weaker than my monster! Now, Buster Blader, swing your mighty sword and slay his dragon! Your Egyptian God card is defeated!

Not exactly! You forgot my Jam Defender is still in play, which means my Revival Jam will intercept all your attacks! And from now on, this magic card will also be in play… Card of Safe Return!

Card of Safe Return?

Yes. This rare magic card lets me draw three new cards every time my Jam Defender reforms itself. This brings the cards in my hand up to five, giving Slifer the Sky Dragon a grand total of 5,000 attack points so far!

5,000 points?! Now what?!

And now, Slifer the Sky Dragon, destroy his Buster Blader! And take a bite out of his Life Points! Do you surrender yet? You're finished! Slifer will only get stronger, and thanks to my Jam Defender, you still can't attack, Pharaoh. For if you do, I'll draw more cards and Slifer will grow even more powerful! Don't you realize there's no way you can win? Hand over your Puzzle. Once my Egyptian God card finishes you off, your days as Pharaoh will be over! [laughs evilly]

[thinking] None of my monsters are strong enough to beat his Sky Dragon. So I'm gonna need the right magic card to do it! Come on, heart of the cards, guide me! [speaking] Here I go! Now. [thinking] Magic Cylinder. This could do the trick, but it has to be combined with a magician card to work. And I'm in luck, 'cause I'm holding the Dark Magician Girl! Perfect! [speaking] Alright, I sacrifice Kuriboh… to summon Dark Magician Girl in defense mode!

By summoning a new monster to the field, you've activated my dragon's special ability!

Oh, no!

Its second mouth!

Slifer is full of surprises!

Even if it's your turn, Slifer will automatically attack every monster you summon with its second set of jaws, wiping out 2,000 points from which ever mode your monster is in. So say goodbye to your Dark Magician Girl!

Oh, no! She only has 1,700 defense points.

Slifer, attack!

It's time for me to save my Dark Magician Girl!

It's too late! Observe!

Why don't you observe!

It really is a pity that your magician had to leave us so soon.

Who said she's gone?

I did!

Guess again! I activated Magical Hats just in time.

So she's hiding inside one of those hats?

Not just hiding. She's inside preparing to launch a counterattack.

Yugi, your monster's not strong enough! Not to defeat Slifer!

It's true that your dragon is powerful, Marik, but I have faith. And so I place two cards facedown… beneath my Magical Hats.

Your hats merely provide you with a temporary hiding place. [draws] And in the meantime, Pharaoh, I'll play my own magic card, and it will make my dragon's power infinite! You see… Infinite Cards lets me exceed the six-card limit and hold as many cards as I wish in my hand!

No! That can't be!

Since Slifer gets 1,000 attack points for every card in my hand, now there's no limit to my monster's power! Slifer, unleash your Thunder Force, on the right-hand hat!

You made a lucky guess, Marik!

You couldn't hide her forever.

This duel's not over!

Hold on, Marik. Your Sky Dragon's special ability means its second mouth has to attack any new monster that appears on my side of the field! That means before you can destroy me, your monster must attack my Revival Jam! [Slifer attacks] You know what happens now.

Revival Jam revives itself again!

And each time a monster regenerates, you have to draw three more cards from your dueling deck!

[thinking] This can't be! Whenever Revival Jam reappears on the field, my dragon automatically attacks it. And since Yami controls Revival Jam, it will revive itself on his side of the field, which makes me draw three new cards. Then my dragon will attack again! Each event triggers the next in a neverending cycle! First attack... then regenerate... then draw! My Egyptian God Card will continue to grow stronger with each cycle as I draw more cards, but it doesn't matter because I'm trapped! [speaking] There's no way out!

That's right, Marik. Once you run out of cards to draw, you will automatically lose this duel!

No! This can't be happening!

As powerful as your Egyptian God Card is, no monster is without weakness, and the Sky Dragon's flaw lies within its special ability: its Second Mouth attack!

I have no control over my Egyptian God Monster! As long as Yami's Brain Control is in effect, my dragon will keep attacking Revival Jam, and my mind slave will keep drawing cards until... [decks out] No!

I turned your dragon against you, causing you to use up all the cards in your dueling deck!

No!

That means I win! It's over!

Looks like we have no choice.

That's right.

Our enemies are one and the same!

Mm-hmm.

But make no mistake. I'm in this for Mokuba. When it comes to rescuing your friends, you're on your own now, Yugi.

Fine, Kaiba.

Before the fun begins, allow us to introduce ourselves. I am Lumis!

I am Umbra!

You defeated us once before, but I assure you, you won't be so lucky in this duel.

And if we do, then you'll release our friends and family?

Perhaps. But there is no way you'll win! Now let me explain the rules of this match. It will be a double duel. Us against you two. Each duelist will receive 4000 Life Points. You must defeat both of the other team's duelists in order to win. And as for the losers? They'll pay a very hefty price… A trip to the Shadow Realm! [Yami Yugi and Kaiba both gasp] You'll be delivered to the dark world in the most ingenious of ways. Notice where you're standing-- on a thin surface above a 50-story light shaft that runs all the way to the ground floor… but if you fall, you'll never reach the bottom! That's because the very surface on which we stand is a divider between our world… [laughs] and the dreaded Shadow Realm. Each duelist's Life Points will be displayed in the magic shadowbox on the floor beside you. When your Life Points reach zero, the surface below you will be destroyed, opening up a vortex that leads directly to the Shadow Realm! And according to Battle City rules, your rules, when we take your Egyptian God cards! Ready? [laughs wickedly] Looks like I've left you speechless.

I was just waiting for you to finish. Do you have your guarantee that my brother's alright?

Yes, but I wouldn't count on seeing him again.

Once you're in the Shadow Realm, there are no visitors!

It looks as if you've just made your second mistake today, Rare Hunter. The first was kidnapping my brother and the second was challenging me!

We'll see about that, Kaiba!

[as he and Kaiba both activate their duel disks] And I will rescue my friends!

Very touching. But we duel for our master, Marik, and losing is not an option! Our decks were specially assembled to take down your Egyptian God cards and that's just what we'll do!

And once we deliver them to Master Marik, he'll possess all three Egyptian God cards! In the meantime, you'll be spending all of eternity in the Shadow Realm! So if you're ready, let's duel!

I summon Shining Abyss in defense mode!

[laughs] Now it's time to show you how we duel together!

A team strategy!

That's right, Yugi! Activate Mask of Brutality!

Thank you, Lumis, your mask will be a perfect fit for my monster!

Not only that, Umbra, but it will boost your monster's attack power by a thousand points!

What?! These rare hunters already have a monster on the field with 2600 attack points!

That's right! And it will stay that way as long as we each give 1,000 Life Points for every turn we plan to use Mask of Brutality!

Accepting our challenge was a huge mistake. When this double duel is over, you two will be banished to the Shadow Realm. Then we'll deliver both of your Egyptian God cards to Master Marik and he shall possess all three!

Wrong! We will prevail and you will release Mokuba and my friends!

Never! [draws] Just look at this. It's my Mask of the Accursed magic card. And once I place it on your monster, it will be rendered useless, Yugi! So try my mask on for size, Magnet Warrior! It's a perfect fit. As long as this mask stays on, your monster can't attack or defend! And that's not the only effect, Yugi. Until the mask comes off, you will lose 500 Life Points for every turn you take. You're finished!

[to Yami Yugi] I realized your magic card saved my Life Points, but next time, I'll do it myself!

Kaiba, if you ever expect to see Mokuba again, we need to help each other! Remember, the minute one of us falls, the other won't stand a chance against their unified tag team assault.

Are you questioning my skills as a duelist, Yugi?

I'm saying we must combine our forces in order to defeat these Rare Hunters. They duel as a team, building up one another's moves and we have to do the same! I saved you, and if you don't protect me the same way, I may not be around to save you again!

[thinking] Then good riddance.

Kaiba and I make a powerful team, and you two rare hunters are no match for combined strength of our decks! And when we prevail, you will lead us to where you are holding Mokuba and the others captive!

I think what my partner is trying to say is that thanks to my superior skills, you're finished! Right?

Not quite.

Don't tell me you're still stuck on this teamwork thing, Yugi. It's getting a little old. Listen up, here's the deal: I'll win this duel on my own, and if it's convenient for me, I might help you, but don't mistake that for teamwork, or you'll be very disappointed. I'm in this for Mokuba. Got it? And I will do whatever it takes to defeat these rare hunters and free my brother. I'm not about to lose. These fools don't realize no one disrespects my family and gets away with it.

This isn't only about you… my friends are in danger as well!

That's your problem, Yugi. I'm dueling for me!

But, Kaiba, you need my help, and I need yours! Lumis and Umbra still have the upper hand.

Your partner is right! You may have summoned your Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Kaiba, but it's still useless against the ultimate power of our Masked Beast! Our camouflaged creature has 200 more attack points than your pathetic dragon. As soon as it attacks, your Blue Eyes will be gone!

He's wrong, Kaiba! You can destroy their monster!

I can?

Look, if you want to win, you're going to have to trust me on this. Like it or not, we're a team. And if you attack them with your Blue-Eyes White Dragon, I promise I'll back you up. Trust me.
