Yu-Gi-Oh! quotes

If I have to duel, I'm gonna need the spirit of the Puzzle to help me.

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.

Alone!? But I've never fought a duel without you! And if I'm defeated I'll lose you forever!

You can defeat him! Just trust yourself and your deck, and you'll find the way.

Alright.

Be very careful, Yugi. I sense a great evil.

Spirit!

Yugi! Where are you?!

Joey

Yugi! Yugi!

Tristan

Say something, buddy?!

Where is he?

I'm back! [runs across the duel arena and raises the Millennium Puzzle] I've got to destroy it! If I can't have this Puzzle, no one can!

No! Keith, wait! Don't! [Bandit Keith slams the Millennium Puzzle against the console, making Yugi horrified] NO!

Rise, you worthless buffoon! It seems the Duel is not yet done. You can still win the match and claim my Millennium prize!

[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!

Obey me and duel!

Keith, stop! No!

I've got to solve the Millennium Puzzle and fast! Time is running out! And this fire is getting worse! Focus! If I solve the Puzzle, I save the spirit! Even if I don't make it out, at least he will!

Tristan

Yeah, brilliant, putting the rod in the hole and pulling really hard.

Joey

Say what!?

Tristan

Say nothing! [he and Joey argue]

Knock it off, guys, or I won't share my hospital food with you.

Joey

We'll be good.

[thinking] I'm glad those guys are OK, but I'm not. I mean, someone's after Yugi's Millennium Puzzle. And because of that, I almost lost him today. Ever since Yugi first solved that Puzzle and bonded with the spirit inside, everyone's been trying to get their hands on it lately. And I know we haven't seen the last of whoever it is who's after Yugi.

Ishizu

Kaiba, do you believe in destiny?

Does it matter?

Ishizu

Ancient Egyptians thought that the true path of one's life is predetermined because history repeats itself throughout the ages in a neverending circle. They would say it was not your choice to come here for it was destined for the two of us would meet.

Look, all that nonsense may interest you, but I didn't come here for Egyptian history 101. I came here because you said it will be worth my while, but it looks like you're wasting my time. If there's a point to all of this, let's get to it already, I have a company to run. You said you have a exclusive offer for me.

I know everything about Duel Monsters and there is nothing like Exodia. So quit the charade and tell me what's going on.

Ishizu

All in good time, Kaiba. Duel Monsters is based upon a 5000-year-old game, it was played by Ancient Egyptians for power and was extremely dangerous.

Who cares?

Ishizu

Maximillion Pegasus did, he fell in love with the game and decided to reinvented for modern times.

What's your point?

Ishizu

I get it, unbeknownst to most duelists. Pegasus created a series of all powerful cards that were never released to the public. It was no surprise that he kept the best monsters for himself.

Ishizu

I've secured the most precious artifacts here. We've recovered stone carvings that depict the earliest known games played in Egypt. I'm sure you'll find it most familiar. Kaiba, behold the origin of Duel Monsters!

It can't be... These carvings look like Duel Monsters Cards! Then that means your story is true!

Ishizu

I see you've come to your senses. Furthermore there's a theory that in ancient times these monsters were real. Egyptian sorcerers summoned monsters to earth to do their bidding, but they soon realized that the monsters could not be control. They destroyed villages and brought earth to the brink of destruction. The citizens turned to the pharaoh for help, though he could not defeat the monsters. He managed to use his magic to seal them away in stone tablets and brought peace to the world. However, overtime evil sorcerers learned how to control the monsters and released them from the tablets. With their army of powerful monsters, the sorcerers were confident that no one could stand in their way. They betrayed the pharaoh and wage an all-out war against him. This is the one you must look at.

Hm?

Ishizu

This carving is the reason I called you here tonight. It depicts one of the main conflicts in the war between the pharaoh and his greatest opponent, closely examine this artifact. After this moment, Kaiba, your life will never be the same.

[sees the Pharaoh figure that looks like Yugi] That's the Pharaoh?! But, that's Yugi! And the monster carved above him is the Dark Magician!

Ishizu

On the left is the sorcerer fighting against him. [Kaiba is shocked to see that the pharaoh's greatest opponent is none other than an ancient Egyptian version of himself] That's you, Kaiba! If you still have any doubt, look at his monster. It's the Blue-Eyes White Dragon!

Ishizu

The hieroglyphics read that the mighty sorcerer marched into the Pharaoh's chambers and challenged him and his legion of loyal magicians to a legendary duel with the fate of the world at stake. The Pharaoh accepted the sorcerer's challenge, and their epic battle began. Today, five thousand years later, the this epic battle is played out once again. Do you see? Now do you believe in destiny, Kaiba?

This is ridiculous! This piece of rock has got to be a fake!

Ishizu

If you won't trust my word, then you must see into the past and glimpse a part of the battle firsthand, which I can help you do with my Millennium Necklace. Now, open your mind and see into the past!

Ishizu

The duel raged on with neither side showing any mercy. They summoned monsters that were increasingly more powerful and dangerous. The winner of the duel is written here, but as you can see, the hieroglyphics have been worn away.

I see.

Ishizu

But although we do not know the outcome, we can deduce who was victorious.

I wish we knew more about our new enemy. He said he was familiar with the power of a Millennium Item. I bet he has one.

That must be how he controls people's minds.

But who is he?

I don't know.

Then how can we stop him!?

Don't worry. As long as we stay connected, you and I can face anything.

Maybe. But what if I...fail again? How do I know that I won't lose you?

I believe in you, Yugi.

Tristan Taylor

Joey, we're on mop duty. What are you so happy about anyway?

Joey Wheeler

Well, my sister Serenity's finally getting an eye operation, and it's all thanks to the 3 million bucks that Yugi won at Duelist Kingdom. She's gonna get her sight back again!

Tristan Taylor

That's sweet! So when do we visit?

Joey Wheeler

It's not that easy. My mom's gonna be there. And every since Serenity and I were separated as kids, my mom and I haven't seen eye to eye.

Tristan Taylor

[yanks Joey by the neck with his arm] She won't go without you. My only concern is whether or not Serenity likes me.

Joey Wheeler

Don't get any funny ideas.

Tristan Taylor

Tell me which hospital she's in and I'll go visit sweet Serenity alone. You'd be a third wheel.

Joey Wheeler

[frustrated] Tristan! I'll send you to the hospital! [puts Tristan in a leg-lock]

How am I going to help the spirit figure out his past? I mean, I know a little bit about the Millennium Puzzle, but I'm not sure there's anything I can tell him about it that he doesn't already know. This is way too much pressure!

Ready or not, Spirit, this is where you take over.

[Shouting at the Millennium Puzzle] Hey Yugi... I'm not... you can't... this isn't a duel! [Sees Tea watching] Oh, hello.

Ishizu

Welcome, Yami. I've been expecting you.

Who are you?

Ishizu

I am Ishizu. And I've uncovered many mysteries about you and these ancient carvings using the magic of my Millennium Necklace.

Another Millennium Item.

Ishizu

Like your Millennium Puzzle, this necklace affords me certain powers. With it, I have gazed five thousand years into the past, to a time when evil sorcerers threatened to destroy the entire world.
