YMYami Marik
It's time for Ra to return to the graveyard! My great beast may be gone, however, I assure you he'll be back!
YMYami Marik
Yes, we will! In fact, my Egyptian God card will return to the field sooner than you think! Watch. I'm about to give my dragon a second chance by turning back time and repeating my attack again. And it's all thanks to this magic card! Have you ever seen it?
Surprise Attack from Beyond!
YMYami Marik
Well, I suppose I'll take your response as a "yes." This card allows me to replay the attack I just made against Obelisk!
Yugi already blocked that attack! That's a real cheat move, Marik!
[thinking] Now Marik has another chance to wipe out Yugi's defense with his Winged Dragon of Ra!
MMarik
Pharaoh, there's still one more task that you and I must complete. I still have one life point left.
YYugi
Wait, he's right! We're not done!
YMYami Marik
What's going on?! No, this can't be happening!
YYugi
Marik's dark side is back on the field!
Yes, but now the tables have turned. Marik's good side is in control and the evil has become the victim.
YMYami Marik
You can't do this, Marik! Listen, we can still crush the Pharaoh together! Remember how you wasted away your childhood serving this fool?! It's not too late to destroy him and take what you deserve! The infinite power of the Pharaoh could be yours! If we win this duel, you and I can claim the three Egyptian God cards and the Millennium Puzzle. We'll rule the world together! Don't be a fool, Marik! We've come so far. Don't throw away everything we've worked for. We can still win!
MMarik
I'm sorry, Pharaoh. It was my duty to help you and instead I turned my back. I can't change the past, but I can start over by embracing my family legacy. I'm proud to be a tomb keeper and I'm proud of my sister and my brother.
MMarik
My family has waited 5,000 years for your return. Now, you're here. So I must fulfill my destiny, by letting you fulfill yours.
YMYami Marik
No! You can't do this!
MMarik
I must. I hold the key to helping the Pharaoh unlock his true powers. The secret is imprinted on my back in an ancient Egyptian text. But before I reveal this mystery, the Pharaoh must be in possession of all three Egyptian God cards!
YMYami Marik
You're making a huge mistake!
MMarik
No, for the first time in years, I'm making the right choice.
YMYami Marik
What are you doing?!
MMarik
I'm honoring the Ishtar name…by surrendering the duel!
Of course! By forfeiting the duel, his Life Points will drop down to zero, and his evil side will vanish into the Shadow Realm.
YMYami Marik
If you do this, you'll be sorry! YOU NEED ME!
MMarik
Be gone! I surrender this duel to the Pharaoh!
YMYami Marik
[vanishes forever] NO!!!!!!
MMarik
It's finally over, my Pharaoh.
Yes, and the darkness has lifted from your heart.
YYugi
[as his body parts return to normal] We won the duel!
Marik has overpowered the evil that controlled him for so long. My Pharaoh…thank you. You've saved mankind.
We did. I wouldn't have been victorious had it not been for all of you.
And the winner of the Battle City championship crown is… Yugi Muto!
Wait a second, guys. I have a hunch this is the good Bakura.
Now…let me see. The last thing I remember was hearing a strange voice and then… [falls into Joey's arms, about to pass out]
So do I. You don't see me passing out.
Look, we could all use a bite. It has been 5,000 years.
Huh? [takes the Millennium Ring off Bakura's neck] I think he's got something that belongs to you, Yuge.
Right. [thinking] Now that Zorc has vanished, so has the evil spirit of the Ring. So Bakura is finally free.
Hey, guys! A little help here?! Thanks, Téa. Grab a leg, will you?
[picks up the Millennium Key and Scale; thinking] Shadi… Please know that your items will finally be laid to rest. And thank you, my friend. [looks up at the tablet] Seto, according to the inscription on this tablet, you became a great pharaoh in your own right. You kept my father's dream alive by maintaining peace in Egypt. And knowing this, my spirit can finally go to its resting place.
Wait! What are you saying?
My Pharaoh, were you able to recover your lost memories?
MMarik
Then after 5,000 years, our family's task is finally complete.
You're right. And the Millennium items are gathered together at last. My King...
I know. Now I must seal them away forever so I can enter the spirit world.
This is the final task of my mission, Téa.
I guess I always knew. I mean, you came back here after all this time so you could save the world. And now that you've done that, you can finally rest.
[Marik and Ishizu nod in agreement to each other]
Pharaoh, if you and your friends would like us to, Marik and I can lead you to the final resting place of the seven Millennium items.
You mean the Millennium Stone?
And the inscription above this ancient stone reads as follows: "To the spirit world thou may proceed, but first thou must complete this deed. Return the items whence they came and speak aloud the Pharaoh's name." Are you ready for your final task?
Then allow me to be your guide to the shrine of the next world.
MMarik
Yugi, before we go any further, there's something else you should know about all this. There's another ancient passage inscribed above the Millennium Stone. It mentions a battle ritual.
MMarik
In order for the Pharaoh to enter the spirit world, he must first face off against a worthy opponent in battle and lose.
What kind of battle do you mean?
MMarik
In ancient times, this referred to a duel with swords. But, luckily for us, today we duel one another with cards.
Exactly, Yugi. I must lose in a game of Duel Monsters.
I don't mean to be disrespectful, Marik, but I don't get what the challenge is in losing a duel.
Think about it, guys. Winning is easy for the Pharaoh, but being able to accept defeat is probably the greatest test of his character there is.
You may have a point there, Duke. But where are we gonna find a duelist who's good enough to beat the Pharaoh?
I sacrifice, my Queen's Knight, my Jack's Knight, and my King's Knight!
[chanting] Almighty protector of the sun and sky, I beg of thee, please heed my cry.
The ancient chant! He knows it!
Transform thyself from orb of light and bring me victory in this fight. I beseech thee, grace our humble game. But first I shall...call out thy name, WINGED DRAGON OF RA!!! Behold, the third Egyptian God!
This isn't exactly brain surgery here, folks. It's pretty obvious that only one of the two Yugi twins inherited the dueling skills, so why even watch? Looks like his little secret is out. Yugi can't duel his way out of a paper bag, so he got his look-alike to duel for him. [starts to walk away]
Get back here, rich boy! This duel ain't over till it's over!
Yeah, how 'bout showing a little respect?!
Do you losers honestly believe that Yugi can still win?
Then answer me this: What possible combination of cards would you use to defeat all three Egyptian Gods?
I rest my case. You're as clueless as Yugi is.
Look, pal, I may not have the answer, but there is one! Come on, Marik, you're the expert here. What's their weakness?
MMarik
Well, individually, they have drawbacks, but when all three are together, they're practically indestructible.
Only fate can decide the outcome of this ritual. If Yugi is unable to defeat his alter ego, then the two are not yet meant to separate from one another. If this occurs, the Pharaoh will be trapped here for another 5,000 years.
That's not fair. [thinking] I'm so confused. I want the Pharaoh to stay, but not if it means trapping him against his will.
[surprised after Yugi defeated the three Egyptian Gods] Whoa! No way!
KKaiba
I guess Yugi really did have a plan, after all.
MMarik
He beat the Egyptian Gods?
And I never expected any less from you, Yuge.
SBSoloman & Bakura
[holding hands and dancing in a circle; singing happily] He did it, he did it! He's better than the Pharaoh!
