Yu-Gi-Oh! quotes

You've been defeated, Noah, not just by me, but by all of us, for it was only with the support of my friends that I was able to win this duel. And the more you tried to destroy that friendship, the stronger it grew.

[falls on his knees in defeat; moaning] This isn't how it was supposed to happen at all.

Listen to me, Noah. You've been all alone in this virtual world for six years, and it's distorted your mind.

He's right. I have been stuck in this digital wasteland for too long. Maybe the reason I despise Yugi and his friends so much is because they share a bond that I've never experienced. So I tried to eliminate their friendship to show them what it's like to be me. But they'll never understand. No one will. My life was ruined. After my accident, by brain was digitized into one of my father's supercomputers, only to be forgotten about. He promised me with everything and left me with nothing. It's not fair! I deserve to be the president of Kaiba Corp! And I would be if Seto hadn't robbed me of my life!

[Chuckles evilly] Well, someone's feeling a bit anxious. So feast your eyes on my cards. I have a strong feeling you've encountered them before! Take a close look. Do these five cards seem familiar to you??

It can't be! Not those cards! IT'S THE FIVE PIECES OF EXODIA THE FORBIDDEN ONE!

Well, it looks like you have failed again. So, I guess there's one thing left to do.

Yes! I guess there is! Escape from this place!

You lose, stepfather!

How could I lose this?!

That's what happens when you challenge someone who's superior to youin every way.

I'll show you who's superior by taking over your body, Seto!

Wait! What about our agreement?

Sorry, but the agreement's off!

Huh? Yugi?

Jump, Kaiba!

Hurry! This place is gonna shut down any second!

It's about time.

We're back in the real world.

Mokuba?! He's still back there?

Mokuba

Seto, Noah's still inside!

I'll escape even without a body! I can upload my mind to another network!

Not a chance!

You?!

I've sealed off all the exits, So there's no way you can escape. I'm afraid it's all over for you.

Mokuba

Why did Noah have to go back to that place, guys? It's not fair!

Joey

where are those guys?

We have to go before that computer blows. And time is running out.

Joey

Come on already.

I cannot be stopped! What makes you think You have the power to keep me here?! [?] Huh?

I can control this place as well.

Noah, you'd choose them over me?!

At least they believed in me. [Flashback to Mokuba flashback end] I'm sorry... But I can't let you hurt them. So, I'm keeping you trapped in here. Sound familiar?

What are you doing?! I command you to release me immediately, Noah! Aah!

[last words] I'm going to free your mind and make sure you never harm anyone again.

Joey

Noah may have been a spoiled brat when we met him, But he turned out to be all right.

Do you think his mind was deleted When the computer was destroyed?

Knowing him, he saved his mind on a back-up file.

Joey

yeah, I bet he'll be back.

Mokuba

Me, too. See you around, Noah!

All right! That little detour Was a complete waste of my time and effort. So, let's move on And pretend that nonsense never happened. It's time for us to continue the battle city finals. Set us back on course... To Kaiba-Corp Island.

yes, sir!

Our shadow game awaits. I hope you're prepared to be swallowed up by the darkness!

Joey

Keep dreaming, psycho!

[thinking] At last, I can defeat Yugi and reclaim my glory!

[thinking] I have to crush Kaiba to get to Marik! It's the only way I can save the world from destruction!

Joey

[thinking] I gotta keep my cool, Kaiba's just playing mind games. I have to ignore him, and for us on taking down Marik. It'll be tough, but I didn't get where I am by taking it easy. I crushed some of the strongest duelists around to get to the Battle City finals. Besides, this is about more than just winning a duel, it's about keeping a promise to a friend!

Marik will begin!

As you wish. I play Gil Garth in attack mode! Then I'll place one card facedown and end my turn!

Joey

I'll take it from here, ya nut case! [draws; thinking] I'm off to a bad start. His Gil Garth has 1800 attack points and none of my cards can beat it… yet. [speaking] I'll also place one card facedown. And then, I'll summon my Alligator's Sword in defense mode!

The time has come to take this duel to the next level!

Joey

Next level? I know where this is going.

I was afraid Marik would do this!

Tristan

Come on! Again?!

[worried] Joey!

This duel's now…a shadow game!

Joey

Show some originality, Marik!

The shadow's hunger for your mind, and your soul!

Joey

You don't scare me!

Tristan

We can't let Joey go through with this duel! This is exactly what happened when Marik dueled Mai! It's too dangerous!

Duke

Let's step in!

Joey's already made up his mind. Didn't I tell you what he said to me?

What's that?

Sorry, Yugi. I should have told you about this before. [Flashback to her and Joey's conversation; voice-over] Joey and I had a conversation after Mai's duel with Marik.

Joey

I know if I beat that evil freak in a duel, I can get Mai back!

Are you sure about this, Joey?

Joey

I've never been more sure of anything in my life. I owe it to Mai and to myself to face Marik. If I back away from this fight now, I'll never be able to forgive myself. I've made up my mind. I gave Mai my word that I wouldn't let anything happen to her, and Joey Wheeler would never break a promise to a friend… So look out, Marik, 'cause here I come!

So Joey's trying to rescue Mai out there, and nothing we say can stop him!

I thought so!

There's gotta be something we can do to save Joey! I know he promised to bring back Mai, but there has to be another way!

Yugi… It's his fight. Just as Joey made a promise to Mai, we made a promise to Joey that we would stop protecting him. We must prove to Joey that we believe in him by letting him duel on his own.

We can't!

Trust him, Yugi! He can win, but he needs our faith and support.

You've had your fun, but now… [draws] It's time for me to end all that with this! My Tribute Burial card!

Joey

No way!

Now I can bring one monster back from each of our graveyards and sacrifice them to summon an even stronger creature to drain whatever's left of your strength, Wheeler! Alligator's Sword, Gil Garth, I sacrifice you to summon this: The mighty Helpoemer! And I can assure you that this new monster of mine is more than he appears to be!

Joey

[thinking] What does he mean by that?! It's got the same strength as my Panther Warrior, unless it has a hidden ability. I gotta find out, or I'm done!

First, I'll place this card facedown on the field. And then, I'll activate this-- Premature Burial! This allows me to summon any monster that resides in the graveyard!

Joey

What are you bringin' back?!

Once I give up 800 of my Life Points, I shall revive Drillago from my card graveyard! But there's still more! Next, I sacrifice Drillago, so I can bring forth this card! [sacrifices Drillago and summons Legendary Fiend]

Joey

[horrified] What is that?!

I've summoned an unstoppable creature known as Legendary Fiend!

Joey

Wait, he's only got 1500 attack points!

You should know that things aren’t always what they appear to be!
