Forum:The Dark Side of Dimensions + Atem's Possible Return

The upcoming movie looks good, especially since it's following the original series a few months after the very last episode. It seems Pharaoh Atem is returning as well with all the scenes in the trailers of the Millennium Puzzle, or at least a piece, and from the back Yugi walking towards Kaiba with his coat as a cape. However, as much I, like many other fans, miss Atem, it wouldn't make sense for him to come back, and here's why:

This would make the Ceremonial Duel pointless, since Yugi defeating Atem freed his soul from the Millennium Puzzle and sent him peacefully to the afterlife. Atem is supposed to be at rest. Also, after Yugi won, the entire chamber crumbled and sent the 7 Millennium Items deep down; even if whoever in the trailers that grabs a piece of the Puzzle manages to dig everything up and put it together, Atem wouldn't be able to take control of Yugi and come back to the gang if Yugi puts the Puzzle around his neck again since he's not in there anymore, freed with Yugi's victory. In addition, before Atem left the gang, he told Yugi that he (Yugi) isn't a coward, and at the end of the Japanese version's last episode, Yugi mentioned that his story was just beginning, implying that Yugi doesn't need Atem to be strong. Therefore it's time to see Yugi's strength without relying on Atem in the major situations (Yugi did duel by himself in much easier situations, like against Rebecca, and a few of the bad ones, like against brainwashed Joey or mind-shuffle dueling against Pegasus, I'll give him that credit) where the Pharoah usually did all, or most of the work, whether dueling or playing other games, such as Dungeon Dice Monsters. Also, Atem's defeat caused Yugi to become the King of Games, and although Seto Kaiba's rivalry was with the Pharaoh since Kaiba was the reincarnation of Priest Seto, in order for Kaiba to become the best duelist, he would have to duel Yugi now for that title. It is shown in 1 of the 2 trailers Kaiba dueling Yugi instead of Atem, determined by some of his bangs not straight up and his eyes round instead of narrow, but most fans expect, in a different time of the movie, for Atem to return and duel someone, if not Kaiba, (and some fans have suggested working with Kaiba in a Double Duel again) due to Yugi walking to Kaiba with his coat as a cape.

It definitely seems like Atem is going to be in the movie, both of course for fans of the original series and since in the poster, seen in the movie's article of this wiki, although the top head is turned around, you can see 2 of "Yugi's" bangs standing up, which makes him Atem.

Regardless of how much you want the Pharaoh to return, what do you think of Atem coming back and playing a major part in the movie now because of these important points about the Ceremonial Duel and its aftermath (the start of Yugi's story)?Mistystar31 (talk • contribs) 04:20, January 26, 2016 (UTC)
