 * 1) Bonz, Sid, and Zygor: Trapped in the Shadow Realm, and swallowed by shadow clouds, by Yami Bakura. It is unknown if he ever chose to set them free. In the Japanese version, they were pulled into Hell by hands reaching out of the ground.
 * 2) Mushara: Fell into a Shadow Pit and became trapped in the Shadow Realm. In the Japanese version, he simply fell to his death and there was no shadow in the pit.
 * 3) Karim: Gave up all his energy to Shada, depleting his diadankh and trapping his soul in the Shadow Realm until Zorc was destroyed. In the Japanese version, he died from loss of energy.
 * 4) Aknadin/Shadow Magus: Destroyed by the Blue Eyes White Dragon. His soul was trapped in the Shadow Realm, and was released when Zorc was destroyed. In the Japanese version, he is simply killed with no mention of Shadow Realm.
 * 5) Hasan: Diadankh energy depleted when he took a hit from Zorc to protect the guards, and his soul went to the Shadow Realm. His body was later destroyed, leaving some mystery as to whether or not he returned when Zorc was destroyed. In the Japanese version, he simply died the first time.
 * 6) Shada: Diadankh energy depleted when he jumped in front of the Pharaoh and took a hit from Zorc, and his soul went to the Shadow Realm and was later released when Zorc was destroyed. As usual, he was simply killed in the Japanese version.
 * 7) Isis: Diadankh energy depleted when Zorc destroyed her Winged Dragon Guardian of the Fortress, and as she fell her soul was trapped in the Shadow Realm. Was released once Zorc was destroyed. Was simply killed in the Japanese version.
 * 8) Shimon: Diadankh energy depleted when Zorc destroyed his Exodia, and his soul went to the Shadow Realm, where it was eventually released with the destruction of Zorc. In the Japanese, he was killed instead.
 * 9) Priest Seto: Diadankh energy depleted when his Blue Eyes White Dragon was destroyed. His soul went to the Shadow Realm and was released when Zorc was destroyed, and took the Pharaoh's place after he left. In the Japanese version, he is killed but appears to come back to life.
