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.
Did you say "battle?!"
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?
In ancient times, this referred to a duel with swords. But, luckily for us, today we duel one another with cards.
A duel?
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?
