Come on! What you're doing is pointless! Yugi's already given up on himself! You're not going to be able to keep fighting for him! He has to fight for himself! He has to stand up to anyone who dares to get in his way! And whatever is going on in his head, Tea, Yugi has to deal with it on his own!
YYugi
[thinking]Maybe Mai's right. Maybe I have to fight harder. Maybe I gave up too easily. What do you do when the thing you're fighting against is some kind of magical spirit that can take control of you? Something that's living inside you? What do you do then?
So, Yugi, have you faced up to your fears? Whatever freaked you out in your battle with Kaiba, have you come to grips with it?
YYugi
[thinking] How can I? Kaiba was willing to do anything to win the duel, and the spirit from my Millennium Puzzle was willing to do anything to stop him. But if I had attacked, Kaiba would have been seriously hurt. And I couldn't let that happen, even if it cost me the duel. No matter how badly I need to rescue Grandpa, hurting someone else is something I will not do.
Aah! It's impossible! I can't believe you've destroyed all my beloved toons! Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no! This is a nightmare, a bad dream this can truly be happening! No!
You ask me, it's just a lame excuse to avoid payin' off on the prizes!
CCroquet
all prizes are still to be awarded. Yugi has already received his agreed-upon award of freed souls. But... In addition, There's this.
YYugi
Huh? what is it?
CCroquet
It's a card called the Ties of Friendship. It's the only one of its kind, hand-painted by Pegasus himself. I was instructed to deliver it Personally to Yugi Muto. You are now, officially, king of games. This contains a check for the prize money won by Yugi in his duel with Joey Wheeler.
Yugi, I'm sorry I accused you of cheating. The better player won today, and it was you. You proved you really did beat Pegasus fair and square. I was such a creep today, and thanks to those tv cameras, the world knows it. My store is ruined. No one's gonna want to play Dungeon Dice Monsters now.
YYugi
That's not true at all, Duke. Dungeon Dice Monsters has the potential to become a huge hit.
There's more than enough room for two game stores in town. I've got a feeling once Dungeon Dice Monsters takes off, you'll both have all the customers you can handle.
Now that Joey's out of the doghouse, maybe things will get back to normal around here, Which means that i can finally get back to playing duel monsters.
So that's lt? How can you let me off so easy, Yugi? I was a total jerk to you and your friends.
YYugi
The game is over now. Let's just leave the fighting on the field because revenge leaves you with nothing excerpt for more bad feelings, Duke, and if you're truly sorry, the best thing to do is be friends.
I can barely hear you, Yugi. Our bond is weak. It's hard to maintain contact. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you with this duel. You'll have to fight him...alone.
YYugi
Alone!? But I've never fought a duel without you! And if I'm defeated I'll lose you forever!
[gets up] STOP! STOP TALKING TO ME! [picks up a length of pipe and swings it ravenously in an attempt to stop Marik] Where are ya?! Show yourself!
MIMarik Ishtar
Obey me and duel!
YYugi
Keith, stop! No!
