Yu-Gi-Oh! (season 1)

Seasons: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 | Movies: Pyramid of Light / The Dark Side of Dimensions | Main The following is a list of quotes from the first season of Yu-Gi-Oh!. Duelist Kingdom Arc The Heart of the Cards [1.1] Joey: Hey, Seto Kaiba, maybe we should duel sometime. Kaiba: No thanks, I think I'll have much more of a challenge playing solitaire. Kaiba: Draw your last pathetic card so I can end this, Yugi! Yami Yugi: My Grandpa's deck has no pathetic cards, Kaiba. But it does contain... the unstoppable Exodia! Kaiba: Argh! Impossible! Yami Yugi: I've assembled all five special cards... all five pieces of the puzzle! [Exodia the Forbidden One suddenly appears on the field towering over the Blue-Eyes White Dragons] Kaiba: Exodia? It-it's not possible! No one's ever been able to call him! Yami Yugi: Exodia, obliterate! Yami: But if you put your heart in the game, there's nothing you can't do. Man: Mr. Pegasus, sir, Seto Kaiba, our uncontested champion he's been defeated in a duel, sir, by someone named Yugi. Maximillion Pegasus: Hmm. The Gauntlet is Thrown [1.2] Man: Mr. Pegasus, with the announcement that you made tonight we'll have thousands of duelist flocking to Duelist Kingdom. Maximillion Pegasus: Yes. an event such as this will hopefully attract those who possess the Millennium items I seek. Which reminds me. Man: The package was delivered to the boy just as you ordered, sir. Maximillion Pegasus: Excellent. Maximillion Pegasus: Yes, we will duel again, Yugi. How else will you ever reclaim your grandfather's soul? [cackles] Yugi: Grandpa! Grandpa! GRANDPA! Journey to the Duelist Kingdom [1.3] Serenity Wheeler: [on tv] Hey there, big brother, I really miss you. Joey: Serenity? Tristan Taylor: Hey, Yugi, check this out: according to this card, the tournament winner takes the grand prize of three million dollars! Joey Wheeler: Three mil? Yugi Muto: So what, Tristan? Who cares about money at a time like this? Joey Wheeler: Hey, give me that! [Snatches the card from Tristan] Aah, three million... Yugi Muto: Guess Joey does... Joey Wheeler: I want to apologize, Yugi. I've been acting like a real jerk. Yugi Muto: Oh, were you acting? Mai Valentine: Well what do we got here. Tristan: In another few hours, the sun will rise! Joey Wheeler: I'm sorry, Yugi. Yugi Muto: Huh? Joey Wheeler: I failed I only found two of your cards. Yugi Muto: It's okay Joey. Joey Wheeler: It's not okay. It's always this way with me. I'm never able to help anbody, not even my own sister Serenity. Yugi Muto: Serenity? Tea Gardner: Really, you have a sister, Joey? Joey Wheeler: Our parents divorced years ago when we were kids. She lives far away with my mother. My sister's had really bad eyes since she was born. Eventually, she'll go blind. Yugi Muto: I'm sorry. Joey Wheeler: Thanks, Yug. She sent me a message. The doctors told her that the time has come. Soon, her eyes will be impossible to repair, even with surgery. But there are specialists who could perform an operation now before it's too late. They could save her eyesight, But there's no way I can pay for the operation. I have to in for her. Winning in the Duelist Kingdom and getting prize money is the only way I can help Serenity. Yugi: We'll both do our best, Joey. You, for your sister. And me, for my grandpa. Téa: That's right. We'll do this together. Tristan: Look, the island! Yugi: That's the Duelist Kingdom. That's it. We're almost there. Into the Hornet's Nest [1.4] Téa Gardner: You can beat him, Yugi! Joey Wheeler: Don't let that flea scare ya! He's bluffing! Weevil Underwood: Really? Then let's just see how you handle this bluff! The Ultimate Great Moth [1.5] Yami Yugi: Summoned Skull, lightning strike! Yami Yugi: It's over, Weevil. I've won. Weevil Underwood: Uh-Uh-But I'm the regional champion, The regional champion! Yami Yugi: You call yourself a champion, Weevil, but you only won your duels through lying and cheating. True champions- They play with honor. They play fair. Joey Wheeler: Aw, Don't waste your breath on this sneaky slug. He's a dueling disgrace. And I hereby relieve him of his dueling gauntlet. First Duel [1.6] Mai Valentine: I overheard you and Yugi talking on the boat, and I know he gave you the only Star Chip that you have. My motto is, "Take out the weakest players first", and considering that you wouldn't even be here if Yugi hadn't given you one of his chips, you've got to be the weakest duelist on the island. Joey Wheeler: Hey, do you have to be so insulting? Téa Gardner: This time, she was being truthful. Attack from the Deep [1.7] Everything's Relative [1.8] Joey: I wish I have more star chips. Yugi: Don't worry, Joey you're doing fine, you'll be able to help your sister Serenity out soon. Joey: I sure hope so, Yugi. [flashback to his sister Serenity] She really counting on me. [flashback ends] And won't let her down. Pegasus: Now, gentlemen, Let's see if I understand your proposition. Seto kaiba has abandoned his corporate station, And now you five wish to seize control of kaibacorp. You then want to merge with my company, And you'd like me to handle any messy details, yes? Gansley: Precisely, mr. Pegasus. With our money and your leadership, We will easily take control of kaibacorp. Pegasus: Do tell. Johnson: For our plan to succeed, Kaiba must be taken out of the picture... Permanently. Nezbitt: However, there is one catch. As per the corporate by laws, Only a kaiba family member can legally control kaibacorp. Pegasus: Hmm. Crump: To that end, pegasus, We recommend kidnapping kaiba's brother mokuba. In name, he will control kaibacorp, But we will control him. Leichter: Do these things for us And we will lay all of kaibacorp's technology at your feet. Pegasus: Agreed. The elder kaiba shall meet with an accident, And the younger kaiba will be captured. Gansley: Excellent. But we have one final condition. Johnson: The brat who beat kaiba Has tarnished kaibacorp's good name, And we must insist that you restore it. Pegasus: Well, how fortuitous. Plans for me to duel Yugi are already under way. Now, to show that I truly am the man for this job-- Kemo, bring me young Kaiba, would you? Mokuba: Noooo! Aah! Unh! Let me go, you creeps. I heard everything, and when I tell my big brother, you're gonna-- Pegasus: You see, gentlemen? This is how efficiently You can expect me to handle our business. Young Kaiba is captured, Yugi will be defeated, And Seto Kaiba will bother us no more. Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Kaiba: [thinking] I can't believe my associates would turn on me after a single defeat. Then again losing to Yugi since he had lost myself too. [After Kemo knocks the star chips off of Mokuba into the ocean] Joey: [to Kemo] What gives! A bunch those star chips belongs to Yugi, You big jerk! Mokuba: I am so sorry, Yugi. Kemo: Ha! You losers should keep a tighter grip on your valuables, don't you think? Then accidents like that wouldn't happen. [grabs Mokuba] Now... [Joey, Yami Yugi Tea and Tristan gasp] Let's go, you. Back to the cage. This little ingrate is a special guest of Mr. Maximillion Pegasus, And he's been invited to attend a special dinner in his honor back at the castle. Right, Mokuba? Mokuba: Yugi! Yami Yugi: Hold on! Kemo: Huh? Yami Yugi: I still have three of my star chips left. I challenge you to a duel, And if I win, Mokuba comes with us. Kemo: Hmm. I don't know why you'd risk your chips for this punk, But if that's how you want to waste your last star chips, Then meet me back at arena 146 In exactly hours. You'll have your duel. Yami Yugi: Kaiba?! Ghost Kaiba: Yes, Yugi. It’s me Kaiba. And this time you stand, a ghost of a chance. [evily snickers] Duel With a Ghoul [1.9] Kemo: [laughs] Yugi, you don't have a ghost of chance beating Kaiba because this time he is a ghost. Yami Yugi: A ghost? Mokuba: Stop it, Kemo! Kemo: It's a fact. two witnesses saw him fall to his doom. [All gasp] Mokuba: Lair! Take back what you said! Kemo: Get used to it. All that's left of Kaiba are your memories. Plus, a very cranky ghost just looking for revenge. Yami Yugi: It's not him! Kemo: Well, he's seen better days. It's time to duel with the ghoul. Yami Yugi: It can't be! That guy's nothing but a fake, a trick by Pegasus. [Back at Pegasus' castle Pegasus watches him behind Joey, Téa and Tristan with Kemo, Mokuba and Ghost Kaiba on tv] Don't worry, Mokuba. I'll win your freedom. Then we'll find your brother. Give Up the Ghost [1.10] Téa: That creep took Mokuba! The Dueling Monkey [1.11] Trial by Red-Eyes [1.12] [Yugi and his friends are about to start a duel against Bakura who is controlled by the evil spirit of the Millenium Ring] Bakura: Before we get started there's a little something I'd like to share with you all... and especially with you Yugi. Joey: What's that? [The Millenium Ring is appearing around Yami Bakura's neck] Joey: [spooked] This is getting freaky. Yugi: [stunned] It can't be. A millenium item. Yami Bakura: Yes! And the magic of my Millenium Ring will take us to the Shadow Realm! Joey: Man, I hate magic. Yugi: Why are you doing this, Bakura? Yami Bakura: You have something I want Yugi and I aim to take it. [Yami Bakura uses the powers of the Millenium Ring to spirit Yugi's and his friends souls away, locking them in their favourite Duel Monster cards] Yami Bakura: Their souls have been locked away. And now after waiting for countless centuries, the legendary Millenium Puzzle is mine! [Yami Bakura tries to grab the Millenium Puzzle, but Yami Yugi takes control of Yugi's body, much to Yami Bakura's surprise and chagrin] Yami Bakura: No! It can't be! Yami Yugi: You want my Millenium Puzzle? Then, you're going to have to duel me for it. Yami Bakura: There is more at stake here then you comprehend and this is one shadow game you cannot win! Evil Spirit of the Ring [1.13] Yami Yugi: Bakura, what have you done? Why have you taken us to the Shadow Realm? Yami Bakura: [chuckles] Bakura... Bakura's no longer here. Yami Yugi: If you're not Bakura, then who are you? Yami Bakura: I'm a thief and a stealer of souls. And I have done terrible things in my quest to possess the Millenium Items. You do remember the legends don't you? [Yami Yugi's eyes widen in shock] Yami Bakura: Whosoever fields all seven Millenium Items will possess power unimaginable. And before I'm done with you, your Millenium Puzzle will be mine! Yami Yugi: That's not going to happen, whoever you are. Yami Bakura: Then let the shadow game begin! The first move is yours. [Yami Bakura uses his "The White Magical Hat" to attack and destroy Yugi's "Cyber Commander", which has Tristan's soul sealed within it] Yami Yugi: No, Tristan! Yami Bakura: [chuckles] Aww... looks like that card has been defeated and your poor friend's soul was trapped in it. Yami Yugi: Where is he? What have you done with Tristan? Yami Bakura: Your friend is gone on his way to the discard pile or the graveyard as we call it in Duel Monsters. Yami Yugi: [shocked] It can't be. Tristan can't be gone. Yami Bakura: [chuckles] When you duel in the Shadow Realm, the stakes are always higher, Yugi! You made a sloppy move and now your friend paid for it with is very soul! Now, which of your friends will you sacrifice next? Yami Yugi: [draws "Dark Magician", which has normal Yugi's soul sealed within it] [thinking] Huh! "The Dark Magician"! He's my favourite card but is it also my soul card? What happens when I play it? Yami Bakura: With a new hand... [places a monster face-down] comes a whole new perspective... the game... [places a face-down trap card] ever shifting. New dangers surround every turn. Yami Yugi: [thinking] He's trying to freak me out but I can't figure out what he's up to. I'm just going to have risk playing. [speaking] "The Dark Magician"! ["Dark Magician", which has normal Yugi's soul trapped in it, is summoned] Yami Yugi: [draws "The Magician of Faith", which has Tea's soul sealed within it] No! "The Magician of Faith"! Yami Bakura: Hmm... isn't that Tea's favourite card? Do you suppose her mortal soul is trapped within it? Hmm... I wonder. Maybe you should play it and find out. But then again... [places another monster face-down] you don't know what I'm playing here, so you might be putting her in danger. A dilemma. And while you decide, I'll just activate this trap card [activates his face-down trap card "Just Desserts"] Yami Yugi: No! Yami Bakura: "Just Desserts"! I think you find it will help you come to grips with your present situation. [a foggy disembodied hand appears and grabs Yami Yugi by his head, causing apparent pain, while Yami Yugi's lifepoints drop down to 500 due to the effect of "Just Desserts"] Yami Bakura: [chuckles] "Just Desserts" takes 500 points for each of your monsters on the field and you feel like each and every point has been ripped from your beating heart. [Yugi has summoned "The Magician of Faith", which has Tea's soul trapped in it, on the field face-down and Yugi and his friends try to hid her from Yami Bakura by standing in front of her] Yami Bakura: Don't bother, you fools! I can see her perfectly well! Yami Yugi: Huh! Yami Bakura: Now, I have four of you right where I want you... helpless on the field, easy prey for my "Man-Eater Bug" [plays his "Man-Eater Bug" face-down on the field] Tea: "Man-Eater Bug"? Glad, I'm a girl. [Yugi has used "Monster Reborn" to bring back "Flame Swordsman", which has Joey's soul trapped in it, back on the field] Yami Bakura: [coldly] You waste your time and your turns rescuing these foolish mortals. Yami Yugi: My friends are never a waste of time. Make your move. Yami Bakura: [chuckles] Oh, I'll move and you will lose. This is the play that will end the match and win me your Millenium Puzzle. First, I will play "The Lady of Faith" in attack mode and then the card that will turn your friends against one another... "The Change of Heart". Yugi: "The Change of Heart"? Isn't that Bakura's favourite card? Yami Bakura: And a very magical card it is. With this card I can turn you against your comrades. The very friends you sought to protect you will now destroy. Yugi: No, I refuse! Yami Bakura: You won't have a choice in the matter. "The Change of Heart" card allows me to control any opposing monster and I choose you, little Yugi. Yami Yugi: Leave the young one out of this! Yami Bakura: Why should I? By simply destroying him might defeat you as well. You're here to die and PROTECT HIM! THEN PROTECT HIM AGAINST THIS! Yugi: Uhh! Tristan: YUGI! Joey: YUGI! Tea: YUGI! Yugi: Uhh! Huh? Joey: It's Bakura! Tea: The real Bakura! Yugi: Bakura! So your soul was sealed into your favorite card, too! Bakura: [sighs] I want to help, but we must act quickly, Yugi. [Bakura becomes "Lady of Faith".] Bakura: I've taken over one of his cards instead of yours. Yugi: Huh? Yami Bakura: Uhh! Bakura: I'll control her while you attack me. You can win against the evil Bakura. Yugi: I can't! I'd be destroying you, sending you to the graveyard. Bakura: I don't care it's better than being enslaved by an evil spirit. Do it! Yami Bakura: BE QUIET! Yami Yugi: I have a better idea. If the evil power of Bakura's Millennium Ring can pull souls from people, perhaps the power of my Millennium Puzzle can put them back. Joey: All right! Our Bakura's back where he belongs. Tristan: But where's the evil dude? [Yami Bakura becomes "Lady of Faith".] Yami Bakura: Uhh! This can't be! Yami Yugi: Listen closely, Yugi. Use the power of the Dark Magician sent him to the graveyard now! Yugi: You got it, Dark magic attack! [Yami Yugi defeats Yami Bakura and Yami Bakura gets sent to the card graveyard] Yami Bakura: Uhh! The Millenium Puzzle was almost mine! [The Reaper of the Cards approaches Yami Bakura] Yami Bakura: [screams in horror] The Light at the End of the Tunnel [1.14] Joey: Sounded like Mai. Come on! Winning Through Intimidation [1.15] Yami Yugi: Is that supposed to scare me, or are you running scared? Mai Valentine: Hmm. I hate to say it, but Yugi really doesn't stand a chance. Breaking duelists is what Panik does for a living. Panik is brutal, ruthless... everything the ultimate duelist needs to be. Bakura: Mai, you've become so cynical about Duel Monsters. And you don't understand Yugi at all, really - there's much more to him than meets the eye. The Scars of Defeat [1.16] Arena of Lost Souls [1.17-18] Part 1 Sid: Don't know who the others are I think that little runt is that Yugi kid. Zigor: Yugi? He's the one who beat Kaiba. Bonz: Really? Sid: We better tell the boss about this, Zigor. Zigor: Right on. [Sid, Zigor and Bonz runs off to report their boss Bandit Keith] Bandit Keith: ? Zigor: Bonz: Joey Wheeler: Oh, no! Bonz: Oh, yes! Dragon Zombie, destroy Axe Raider! Deadly Zombie Breath! [Dragon Zombie's decaying breath causes Axe Raider to turn to dust] One down, and one to go. Now your puny swordsman is outnumbered three to one. Part 2 Bonz: How could I loses. Bandit Keith: See you around, loser. Bonz: But wait, Boss. Bandit Keith: Now we can have a little talk. Bonz: Uh, talk about what, boss. Bandit Keith: [hits Zigor] Your star chips! Sid: Zigor! Bandit Keith: Next. Bonz: Boss, what's wrong? Bandit Keith: What's wrong is that you lost. Bonz: But, boss, I did exactly what you told me! Bandit Keith: [furiously shouting] YOU LOST! [his shout echoed around the forest] Now hand 'em over! Bonz: Ow! Sid: Take em! Just Take em! Double Trouble Duel [1.19-21] Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Face Off [1.22-24] Part 1 Part 2 Seto: The second of my 3 Blue-Eyes White Dragons. Just one more now, and then absolutely nothing will be able to keep me from victory. Soon, with one earth-shattering blast, I'll defeat Yugi for the last time. And once I've finished him, I'll go after Pegasus and rescue my brother from his demented grip. Part 3 Yami: I'm warning you, Kaiba. Don't push me too far. I must win to rescue my grandfather. Kaiba: And I must win this duel to rescue Mokuba. The difference is, I'm willing to risk anything to do it. You know I can stand up here all day, Yugi. And I'm certain that you won't make any attack for fear that you might knock me off. Even though you know by not attacking, you give up the only chance you have to save your grandpa. Which means I have the advantage over you, for in my case there's nothing holding me back. Shining Friendship [1.25] Yugi: [thinking] What is happening to me? One minute I'm battling against Kaiba, the next minute I'm battling with myself. Suddenly there was this other presence inside of me, willing to do anything to win the duel. And it took everything I had just to hold him back. But that gave Kaiba the opening he needed. I let Kaiba win the match, but I had no choice. That other presence may have seriously hurt Kaiba if I hadn't regained control. And now I'm afraid of what happens next time. What happens if I can't control it? No! I can't take that chance. And that means:I can never duel again. Yugi: I almost couldn't control it! This other presence inside me! He was willing to go all the way against Kaiba! Joey: Another presence inside you? Tristan: What do ya mean? What are you talkin' about, buddy? Bakura: Like me, Yugi has some ancient spirit inside him. It has something to do with our Millennium Items. Yugi: I'm afraid of this spirit inside me! So afraid, that I can never duel again! Mai: 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! Yugi: [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? Champion vs. Creator [1.26-27] Part 1 Part 2 Yugi: [crying after Pegasus steals Kaiba's soul] He was like us. Just wanted to save someone he cared for. Why, Pegasus? Who are you to toy with our friends, our families? I won't let you get away with it! The Night Before [1.28] Yami Bakura: You can't hide from me, Pegasus. [evilly snicker] Your Millennium Eye will soon be mine. Duel Identity [1.29-30] Part 1 Yugi: [thinking] I got be at my best if I'm gonna make it through these playoffs. But I also have to keep the spirit of my Millennium Puzzle in check. I mean if Pegasus can seal souls with his Millennium item, who knows what the spirit of the Puzzle might do to win against Mai? Yami: Yugi, let me help you! If you continue to hold me back, everybody loses! Part 2 Mai: 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? Yugi: [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. Yami: I meant no harm. I only wanted to help. And I vow never to go against your wishes again. Yugi: How can I believe you? Yami: Your grandfather once told you to trust in the power of the Millennium Puzzle, remember? Yugi: Maybe you're right. Keith's Machination [1.31-32] Part 1 Mai: Get up off the floor, Joey. Joey: Huh? Mai: And quit all your crying, already. You look like a big baby. Joey: [sniffles] Who’s crying? I got something in my eye. Stupid thing won’t come out. Mai: Here. Joey: Huh? Mai: Just don’t go blowing your nose in it. You know, Every time I think I’ve got you figured, You surprised me, Joey. Joey: Huh? Mai: Téa told me about your sister. How your dueling to win the tournament’s prize money for her so she can have that operation. sounded like a bad soap opera, to be honest, but then, who doesn’t love a bad soap opera? Anyway, see you around, hon. Joey: Huh? Mai’s card. Part 2 Bandit Keith: This duel doesn't count! Joey Wheeler: Huh? Tristan Taylor: Doesn't count? Téa Gardner: Keith just doesn't know when to give up! Bandit Keith: [points at Joey] The entry card that Joey showed to play in this match wasn't even his! Therefore, the duel shouldn't count, and he ought to be disqualified right here! Joey Wheeler: He's right. My card was missin', so Mai gave me hers, but tell me, Keith, how could you have known that this wasn't my card? Bandit Keith: Huh? Eh... Joey Wheeler: I'm all ears! So, why don't you explain yourself? [Keith growls] Maximillion Pegasus: He doesn't need to. It's clear that Keith stole Joey's card. That's why he was so certain that you would never be able to find it. Joey Wheeler: You snake! I knew it! Téa Gardner: That big cheat! Tristan Taylor: Then Keith ought to be disqualified, not Joey! Maximillion Pegasus: Oh, Keith ought to be disqualified, all right, but not simply for misdeeds outside of the dueling ring. There was quite a bit of improper conduct taking place *during* the match that I observed too. [Pegasus' Millennium Eye flashes beneath his hair; Keith snarls at Joey] Joey Wheeler: Is that so, Keith? Maximillion Pegasus: Oh, yes. Keith kept his set of Seven Completed cards beneath his wristband! That way, he could power up his Slot Machine monster whenever he chose. Joey Wheeler: Man, Keith, that's low! Maximillion Pegasus: Take the scoundrel away, far away! [two guards drag Keith out of the room] Bandit Keith: [struggling unsuccessfully to break free] No! Let go! Let me go! Nobody makes a monkey out of Bandit Keith! Nobody! Maximillion Pegasus: [claps for Joey] Well done, Joseph. You should be quite proud. You dueled admirably. [?] Joey Wheeler: Aah, Keith! Bandit Keith: [echoing] PEGASUS! Joey Wheeler: Whoa! Maximillion Pegasus: You truly are a stubborn one, Aren't you? Bandit Keith: Can it! You ain't talkin' your way out of this one. Now hand over that prize money or else! Maximillion Pegasus: Oh, certainly, Keith! I'll do whatever you say. Just give my body a moment to recover From the complete paralysis That your terrifying demands have shocked me into! Bandit Keith: OK, wise guy. I'll give you till three. Maximillion Pegasus: Hmm... fine. One, Two, Three. [his foot push the button trap door opens sending Bandit Keith down out the castle and with screaming and falling down to the ocean] Bandit Keith: Ouch! Best of Friends, Best of Duelists [1.33-34] Part 1 Part 2 Yugi vs. Pegasus: Match of the Millennium [1.35-39] Part 1 Yugi: [thinking] I hope I'm doing the right thing deciding to duel again. Grandpa told me to trust the ancient presence from inside the Millennium Puzzle. But how can I? It was willing to do anything to beat Kaiba. Anything. Part 2 Part 3 [The Reaper of the Cards approaches Pegasus' guards] Guard leader: Where the heck are we? [looks up at The Reaper of the Cards] and What the heck is that thing! [Pegasus' guards screams in horror] Pegasus: 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! Yugi: We did it! All the toons are destroyed! Yami: Yes and it was your plan, Yugi I'm very proud of you. Yami Bakura: As you can see, there isn't a particle of those fools left in this dimension. I've no patience for obstacles that get in my way! Remember that! Tristan: Huh? I don't know how you did that and I probably don't wanna know. Just tell me who you are, what you want. I know you're not really our friend Bakura. You're the one Yugi beat. He banished you to the graveyard. And in the process, he released Bakura from your control. Yami Bakura: Yes. But that wouldn't have happened if Bakura hadn't betrayed me. I've decided I need a new host. Tristan: You won't take me without a fight! Yami Bakura: Not yours. I want a vessel with a mind or spirit of its own. Tristan: You want Mokuba. Yami Bakura: Now turn him over or face the same fate as those guards! Part 4 Yami Bakura: So what will it be, Mortal? Are you going to hand Mokuba over willingly or do I have to conjure something to consume your soul? Tristan: Forget it. No way. Yami Bakura: You know that I have the power to back up my threats. Hand him over this instant, or I'll dispatch you to the graveyard, too. Tristan: Yeah, I remember. Your evil power comes from that, the Millennium Ring. Yami Bakura: That's right. The Millennium Ring not only allows me to control your friend Bakura, it gives me many other magical abilities as well. So unless you want a more personal demonstration of my power, you'd stop resisting me since you know any attempt would be pointless. Why sacrifice yourself when you know I'll still wind up possession of him in the end? Pegasus: [thinking] I think Yugi overestimates his mental prowess, and underestimates the burden of fighting a duel in the Shadow Realm. I don't think you have it in you, Yugi boy. You have two creatures to maintain- your Curse of Dragon and your Dark Magician. Pegasus: [thinking] He's too young and unskilled to cope with the stress. And communicating with that other spirit splits his concentration even more. His mental and magical energies will soon be exhausted. Yami: Yugi! Yugi! I can't sense his spirit. I can no longer feel the presence of his young mind. No. He...He can't be gone. Pegasus: Forget him. The boy was too weak. It takes a person of true fortitude to undermine the dark energies of the Shadow Realm. Face it: Yugi is gone and it's just you and me now. Yami Yugi: You've used your underhanded tactics to overwhelm Yugi's mind! You will pay for what you did! Pegasus: So I take it, from this emotional outburst, that you're having a hard time acknowledging the fact that you failed in your self-appointed duty to protect your little dueling protege. Whoever you are, perhaps Yugi would have been better off without your interference. Yami: Be silent! For what you have done, I will show you no mercy. Part 5 Yami: [thinking] But with Yugi gone from his world, he can no longer help me prevent Pegasus from reading minds. [Yami has a vision] Solomon Moto: Yugi is still with you. Yami: You must be... Solomon Moto: Yugi's grandpa. And believe me, his heart is still in this. Yami: But how can that be? Solomon Moto: You believe only what your eyes show you. The unbreakable bond of Yugi's friends keeps his spirit alive. Yami: His friends, of course! They haven't given up on him! Pegasus: My Detonator will win this duel for me despite your pathetic little friends! Yami: Wrong! Because now that these friends are working with me on a whole new level, this is a whole new game! Yugi: Pegasus, you're finished! We've won! The Aftermath [1.40] [?] Maximillion Pegasus: It's all over. Everything I've struggled to obtain is now beyond my grasp. Keeping their souls will not serve me now... besides, I'm a man of my word. And because of the defeat I suffered at the hands of Yugi and the mysterious spirit of his Millennium Puzzle, I am duty-bound to fulfill my pledge. [?] And so, I release these three souls. [?] Cecelia, I'm sorry, but I have failed you. My attempt to take over KaibaCorp, My efforts to get all the Millennium items, was all done for you. In the hopes that I could restore you, body and soul. Yami Bakura: [offscreen] How sweet. Pegasus: Hmm? [looks back] Who's there?! Bakura! I remember now. You! You're the one that possesses the Millennium Ring! Yami Bakura: Yes. And I intend to have all the items. Care to wager yours on a shadow game? I'll give you a second chance at a millennium item. [Chuckles] what you couldn't win from Yugi, Perhaps you can win from me. Who knows? If you defeat me and claim my ring, Your deepest desires might not be beyond your grasp after all. [?] Your millennium item allows you to look Into people's minds, Pegasus. Mine allows me to see into their souls. I have but to look at your deck, Pegasus, and it reveals to me your true nature. The happy lover card! It shows you have experienced the joys of love. However, this card is upside down, Which means your romance ended in tragedy. What a pity it is. Well, the next card should show me more About your present than your past. Ah! The mask of darkness, eh? So your recent actions were all just an effort To mask your true objectives, Objectives that came from deep within your heart. Who would have thought you even had a heart, Let alone one so easily broken? Pegasus: Quiet! Let's just play the game! Yami Bakura: [Chuckles] as you wish. But first, There is one more card to be revealed. Don't you want to see your future? Doma, the angel of silence! It's an appropriate card for your future Since I will now silence you forever. Prepare yourself, mortal, for a shadow game The likes of which you've never played! [Chuckles] This match will be played On the landscape of our minds! [?] Really now, Pegasus, Is that all you can muster? Ah, but you've been fatigued By your shadow duel with Yugi. Your mind is weary while mine is fresh. [?] You are defeated! A rank amateur to one who has played for centuries. Pegasus: You've lived for centuries? What kind of creature are you? Yami Bakura: I am the one who will possess all the Millennium items, And I shall use their combined might To conquer the entire world! You have lost the game, And that entitles me to take your millennium item, The way you meant to take Yugi's. [grabs the Millennium Eye] Pegasus: N-no! [screaming]: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Pegasus: I should have once again been engulfed by despair. But seeing you for that brief moment... Téa: "...gave me more hope than I thought possible. Even though you were gone from my world, I knew there was still a way to reach your spirit, And I wouldn't rest till I found a way to bring you back And once again touch the flower that is your face And gaze into your eyes once more." [after the story finished] It goes on to say that later Pegasus got an inspiration. He found a way to combine Kaiba's virtual technology With the magic of Millennium items to restore Cecilia. But nothing about Yugi's grandpa or the Kaiba brothers. [After entering Yugi's subconscious mind via the Millennium Key] Shadi: Incredible! This youth's mind contains two chambers. Never have I seen such a thing. One is a room of pure innocence, devoid of malice. Purity of soul I sense could not possibly belong to the thief who stole Pegasus' Millennium Eye. But, wait. The other chamber- I detect another presence. And this soul is much more mysterious. Yami: It's all right. You may enter my chamber if that is what you desire. But I warn you, tread cautiously. I will allow no harm to come to the boy whose vessel I share. Your presence here intrigues me. Shadi: In the past I have ventured into minds of many people. But never have I encountered such a strange soul here. I feel as though I am in the tomb of an ancient Egyptian pharaoh. Yami: I don't know how you entered my mind. Explain yourself before you trespass further! I demand an explanation for your intrusion! Shadi: I seek a criminal who has stolen the power of a Millennium Item. It has been five long millennia since those items were created. Domino City Battles Arc The Wrath of Rebecca [1.41] Seto Kaiba: [wakes up] Gotta find Mokuba. Croquet: Yugi. Joey. Yugi: Croquet. Croquet: Due to his illness, Mr. Pegasus will be unable to attend. [Yugi gasps] Joey: You ask me, it's just a lame excuse to avoid payin' off on the prizes! Croquet: all prizes are still to be awarded. Yugi has already received his agreed-upon award of freed souls. But... In addition, There's this. Yugi: Huh? what is it? Croquet: 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: It's all yours, Joey, Just like I promised. Joey: You're the best, Yug! Tea: $ Million, Joey. Tristan: For your sister's operation. Joey: Yeah... We've been apart for so long, But now I can save her from goin' blind. Yugi: That's great, joey. Joey: Yeah, you bet it is. Croquet: Now...we'd like you all to leave. [walks away] Tea: Yugi! I just realized, If Mokuba's soul has been returned, Then maybe... Yugi: Yeah! It should mean that grandpa is recovering, too! I can't wait to get him out of that hospital. [Cut to Solomon was in bed at Domino City Hospital with Yugi's mother] Solomon: [wakes up] Yugi, you saved me. Yami: You did it. You saved everyone, Yugi. Yugi: We both did. And I don't even know your name. Yami: I've been called many things throughout the ages. Pharaoh, Yu-Gi-Oh! I've been known as Yami. Yugi: Well, Yami, I'm glad to have you as my friend. Yami: Good, because I'm glad to be one. [As Yugi, Tea, Joey and Tristan leaves the castle at Duelist Kingdom to a ride on the Helicopter with Seto and Mokuba Bakura holds the Millennium Eye from Pegasus out off his pocket] Yami Bakura: [thinking] Yugi has the championship, Joey has the money, but I hold the real prize - the Millennium Eye. And soon? I'll have Yugi's Millennium Puzzle as well. [Back home at Domino City Yugi and the gang reunited with his grandfather Solomon at the hospital.] Solomon: What's the matter, Yugi? You’re not surprised to see me up and about, Are you. Yugi: Grandpa. Solomon: [chucking] Yugi: Hey, Grandpa! [happily laughing towards his grandfather] You’re OK! Solomon: Yes my boy! [Tristan, Joey, and Tea look happily at them] Yugi: I've missed you, Ready to go home? Solomon: Mm-hmm. [As Solomon, Yugi, Joey, Tristan and Tea walking back to the Game Shop] Solomon: [chuckles] So, you saved me, and became champion of the Duelist Kingdom, Yugi? Yugi: Well, I didn't do it alone, Grandpa. Everyone helped. Joey: That's right, everybody pitched in, but he couldn't have done it without me! [laughing] Solomon: Well, then you've obviously improved since I last saw you duel. Tristan: Uh, not that much. Téa: Yeah, a little! Joey: a lot. Yugi: Grandpa, maybe you should go home and rest. You did just get out of the hospital, you know. Solomon: Don't be silly. I feel great! One, two, there, four. One, two... [?] Ohh! Yugi: [stocked] Grandpa! Tristan: Are you okay, Mr. Muto? Solomon: Just a little stiff, that's all. Rebecca: The Ties of Friendship [1.42] [The scene shows Yugi and Rebecca dueling] Yugi: Now listen to me, Rebecca. I'm only going to say this one more time, my grandpa didn't steal your Blue-Eyes White Dragon! Rebecca: [angrily] You're lying! He did! He did! He did steal it! It was my grandpa's favorite and your grandpa took it from him. You won't get away with this, you thieves! Solomon: Rebecca. Rebecca: Now what? Solomon: There's a story that you need to hear, Rebecca. It's the story of how I met your grandfather, Professor Arthur Hawkins and of the danger we faced together. Rebecca: In other words, more of your lies! Forget it! Solomon: No, it's true and be assured it's one of the most frightening experiences I have in my entire life. Rebecca: Humph. I'm so sure. Solomon: It happened years ago, but it's an adventure I'll never forget. [In a flashback in Egypt] Solomon: I have traveled to Egypt to participate in an archaeological dig. A brand new discovery been made not far from the Great Pyramids. We all wondered what Ancient Egyptian secrets will soon be unearthed. The desert was hotter and drier than I expected. So it was fortunate that I soon made a friend. [He tries to drink water but his carton is emptied and suddenly Arthur Hawkins decided to give him his water] Arthur: [handling his water carton] You look like you could use some cool water. Solomon: How could I thank you? [He drinks the water and spit it out] Solomon: I guzzled it down a little too quick. But my new friend Professor Arthur Hawkins was just assumed my enthusiasm, he was a kind and very brilliant man. [Back to the duel] Solomon: But in his field of archaeology, he was viewed as a extremely radical thinker. Tea: How come? Solomon: His theories, he believed that Duel Monsters may have played some mysterious part in Egyptian history. Am I'm right, Rebecca? Rebecca: Hmm... Yugi: I don't understand, Grandpa. Solomon: His studies of hieroglyphics, the ancient Egyptians' writing, kept turning up one particular word over and over again. And that one word was "Duel". Tea: Duel? Yugi: But why? Solomon: It was a mysterious. [Arthur and Solomon are inside an ancient chamber] Solomon: Using duel as a keyword, he worked towards a new interpretation of Egyptian history. And he came into a astonishes conclusion. Arthur: It's here, my friend, in these hieroglyphs. "By the spirits of the River Nile, I combined magic and monsters to vanquish my enemy in our battle this day". Solomon: What on earth could that mean? Arthur: If I'm correct, it has to do with incredible contests in which ancient Egyptians participated. Contests with high stakes. I believe, duels. Solomon: What kind of duels? Arthur: I think you'll find the answer in that inscription, Solomon. [Arthur hands out a deck of monster cards] Arthur: Look at this. Solomon: Duel Monster cards. Arthur: Now take a look at those ancient drawings. [Solomon finds out that the monster card looks exactly the same like the one in the carving] Solomon: The images are nearly the same. Arthur: Which leads me to believe the Ancient Egyptians must have played the similar game to our own. Solomon: What an amazing discovery! When you present this to your fellow scholars, you'll revolutionize the field of Egyptology. Arthur: We shall see. [Flashback ends] Solomon: But Arthur's colleagues ridiculed his theories and dismissed them his wild fantasy. Even in the face of such disbelieved, he bravely stood his ground and continued his difficult research into the ancient game of Duel Monsters. He invited me to join him in his work and I helped the best of I could. In time, he discovered a link between the game and the Millennium Items. Yugi: What kind of link? Solomon: It's still very mysterious, Yugi. [Arthur and Solomon are in an ancient tomb] Arthur: The Ancient Egyptians didn't play this game for fun or money, Solomon. But rather for the power to rule the world. Solomon: How could that be? Arthur: The inscriptions tell of a place called the Shadow Realm where terrible monsters dwell and powerful warriors battled for dominion over the Earth. Apparently, the Ancient Egyptians actually played the game in that mysterious realm and the stakes are caught in this inscription with the fate of the Earth. Arthur: [interrupting] Rebecca, behave yourself. Rebecca: Oh, Yugi, I'm sorry. Yugi: It's okay, Rebecca. Legendary Heroes [1.43-45] Part 1 Crump: Mr. Kaiba. Uh Welcome back, sir. Gansley: What an unexpected surprise! Seto Kaiba: Yes I’m sure it is, you traitorous snakes! You see I know you all about your partnership with Pegasus. Joey Wheeler: I'll take it. Put it on my tab, Gramps! Solomon Muto: Your tab's past due, Joey. Joey Wheeler: Then put it on Tristan's. Tristan Taylor: Hey! Part 2 Joey Wheeler: Go, Drumsticks! Mai Valentine: Uh, guys? Joey just named his chicken. Joey Wheeler: It's a Niwatori, Mai! Mai Valentine: Whatever. Part 3 [The Five-Headed Dragon, also known as the Mythic Dragon, has obliterated Mokuba] Seto Kaiba: Mokuba! Mokuba Kaiba: [weakly] Seto... [collapses and digitizes] Seto Kaiba: No! NO! MOKUBA! Dungeon Dice Monsters [1.46-49] Part 1 Joey Wheeler: Didn't you catch any of my moves in the Duelist Kingdom, you numbskull? Tristan Taylor: Now you're adding "lucky" to your list of talents? Joey Wheeler: You're lucky I don't rearrange your face, wise guy. Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Duke: 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. Yugi: That's not true at all, Duke. Dungeon Dice Monsters has the potential to become a huge hit. Solomon: True. I haven't seen a game this exciting since duel monsters. You've got to keep your store open. Tea: 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. Duke: Huh? No way do you really think so? Joey: Sure dice monsters is great. It's you i don't like. Tristan: I'd love to learn how to play dice monsters. Duke: I can teach you. Great! Yugi: 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. Duke: So that's lt? How can you let me off so easy, Yugi? I was a total jerk to you and your friends. Yugi: 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. Duke: I am sorry... and you're offering me something better than winning. Yugi: Friendship always is. Duke: Huh? Hmm. Yugi: Hmm. Tea: Aw. Yugi: Hey, Duke. Sounds like you got some new e-mail. Joey: Anything good? External links Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (season 1) Category:Yu-Gi-Oh! seasons Category:Children's television seasons
