Mai Kujaku and Dark Marik's Duel (manga)

Mai Kujaku and Dark Marik faced each other in a Shadow Game of Duel Monsters in the third Battle City quarterfinal.

Prior
Having been told she did not appear alongside Katsuya Jonouchi's friends, in a dream he had, Mai felt isolated and convinced herself that she did not need friends.

At the Ultimate Bingo machine, she was annoyed by Dark Marik and Ishizu Ishtar's absence and wondered if the Duel meant anything to them. When she was selected as a participant in the next quarterfinal, she advanced to the Aerial Dueling Platform, without waiting to hear who her opponent was. She said that she would win regardless and told Dark Yugi and Jonouchi that she would see them in the semifinals.

Jonouchi said he would cheer for Mai, but she ordered him not to come. Insisting that she fights alone, she claimed to not need anyone cheering for her. While mocking Jonouchi's friendship ideologies, she declared that she was not a soft Duelist like him. Jonouchi grew furious, but was held back by Anzu Mazaki.
