Yu☆Gi☆Oh! Duel Monsters

Synopsis

Yugi and the others enter the palace to search for clues about the Pharaoh's real name. Thief King Bakura collapses, but manages to place his three Millennium Items into the Millennium stone. Yami Bakura then releases Thief King Bakura from his control, who is confused about what was happening, unable to recall what he was doing. Then he turns into dust, even as he cries out in anguish for help. Yami Bakura's disembodied spirit tells the others he was merely using Bandit Bakura as a pawn. Later, Aknadin betrays the other priests by using a time-freezing spell to incapacitate them and takes the Millennium Items, giving him the power needed to resurrect the Zorc Necrophades, The Dark One and Lord of Terror Evil and Darkness, from the Millennium Stone. Zorc transforms Aknadin into the Lord of Darkness, The Great Shadow Magus (which doubles Aknadin's power). Yami Bakura reveals the true nature of the Shadow Game - it is simply a board game, played by the present-day versions of Yami Bakura and the Pharaoh (the other parts of their souls). However, their actions dictate the events of the Memory World, which are manipulated by their game pieces.
