Summary
(NOTE: for steps in the Yugi Muto vs. Yami Bakura Duel please see the Featured Duel section below)
The Retrieval of the Millennium Items
- Shada has just sacrificed his life to protect the Pharaoh from Zorc's attack. Meanwhile Zorc continues relentlessly to destroy the Pharaoh's troops.
- Shimon Muran says the only way they can stand a chance is if the three Egyptian Gods are Summoned, but the Pharaoh lost his Millennium Puzzle and his life energy is too low!
- Isis suggests they must go out in the desert and search for the Millennium Items, so that all the remaining Guardians can restore their energy!
- While the Pharaoh's troops create a diversion, Isis Summons "Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress 1" and climbs on its back, departing with Mana and "Spiria" to look for the items.
- Isis suggests they must go out in the desert and search for the Millennium Items, so that all the remaining Guardians can restore their energy!
- Back at Kul Elna, Isis & Mana immediately find all the Millennium Items: the Scale, Rod, Ring, Puzzle, Eye, Key, and Necklace were all within a short distance from one another.
- For retrieving her Millennium Necklace Isis's life force is replenished to maximum.
- Upon Isis & Mana's return to the Capital however, Zorc senses the presence of the Items and immediately attacks Isis's "Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress". Isis tells Mana to dismount and bring the items back to the Pharaoh. Meanwhile, she uses her Millennium Necklace to increase her Dragon's strength and create a diversion by attacking Zorc.
- Zorc destroys "Winged Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress" and Isis's life force is no more.
Exodia the Forbidden One
- Mana is intercepted by Shimon Muran, who takes the Millennium Key from her in order to buy them more time. Mana brings the remaining items to the Pharaoh.
- Shimon uses the Millennium Key to Summon "Exodia the Forbidden One".
- Priest Seto "It's the Forbiddden One! A beast so powerful it was able to defeat an army of thousands in a single night!"
- Pharaoh "Exodia!"
- Shimon Muran (to Exodia) "Had it not been for you old friend, this land would surely have fallen at the hands of his enemies. Due to your incredible strength I sealed you within five Stone Tablets, vowing never to release you again. Now I lift that seal!"
- For a short while Exodia holds its own against Zorc (NOTE: present in the original Japanese and cut from the English dub, a scene where Exodia rips out Zorc's arm, who then grows it back because he is immortal, and Zorc doing the same thing to Exodia, Exodia also growing the arm back).
- Eventually Shimon orders Exodia to Obliterate, but Zorc immediately counter-attacks and destroys Exodia (splitting him in half). Shimon loses the last of his life energy and is no more.
- Zorc Necrophades "Pharaoh, opposing me is futile. I am the embodiment of pure darkness, and as the world is enveloped by the shadows my power shall grow! Now kneel before your new master!"
- Pharaoh "No! The light of hope still shines upon the people of Egypt, and that light can illuminate even the darkest of shadows!"
- At this point, Mana brings back the Items and the Pharaoh's Millennium Puzzle. His life energy is replenished.

Duel continues from previous episode.
Yami Bakura's Turn
(Yugi's Deck: 32)
- Activates Spell Card "Spirit Sword of Sealing": it removes Yugi's "Silent Swordsman LV4" from play. "Spirit Sword of Sealing" will be destroyed only if any monster on Yugi's side of the field is sent to the Graveyard.
- Summons "Disgraced Mage" (1700 ATK / 1400 DEF) and uses it to attack Yugi's "Marshmallon".
- "Marshmallon's" effect activates: it cannot be destroyed but Damage Calculation is applied normally (Yugi: 2400 → 1000 Life Points).
Yugi Muto's Turn
(Yugi's Deck: 31)
- Summons "Blocken" (100 ATK / 300 DEF) in Defense Position.
Yami Bakura's Turn
- Uses "Disgraced Mage" to attack Yugi's "Marshmallon".
- The effect of Yugi's "Blocken" activates: it forces Bakura's "Disgraced Mage" to attack it instead. "Blocken" is destroyed.
- "Disgraced Mage's" effect activates: "Blocken" returns to Yugi's Deck instead of being sent to the Graveyard. (Yugi's Deck: 32)
- "Blocken's" effect activates: "Lenguard" (300 ATK / 100 DEF) is Special Summoned from Yugi's Deck in Attack Position. (Yugi's Deck: 31)
- The effect of Yugi's "Blocken" activates: it forces Bakura's "Disgraced Mage" to attack it instead. "Blocken" is destroyed.
- Bakura sets 3 cards.
Yugi Muto's Turn
(Yugi's Deck: 30)
- Uses "Marshmallon" to attack Bakura's "Disgraced Mage". Due to the effect of "Marshmallon", it is not destroyed, but since its ATK is less than that of "Disgraced Mage", the attack fails.
- Activates "Lenguard's" effect: Yugi destroys it to negate all Battle Damage he would have taken from the attack.
- Since a monster was destroyed and sent to Yugi's Graveyard, "Silent Swordsman LV4" is released from the effect of "Spirit Sword of Sealing".
- Activates "Lenguard's" effect: Yugi destroys it to negate all Battle Damage he would have taken from the attack.
- Uses "Silent Swordsman LV4" to attack and destroy Bakura's "Disgraced Mage".
- Bakura activates "Disgraced Mage's" effect: he returns it and his entire Hand to his Deck to negate all Battle Damage he would have taken.
Yami Bakura's Turn
- Activates Spell Card "Pot of Greed" to draw 2 cards.
- Activates his Set Continuous Spell Card "Cursed Twin Dolls": Yugi must pick between the Red or the Black Gift-Box; Bakura gets the other Box.
- Yugi picks the Red Gift-Box: Yugi's LP will increase by 200 for each card sent from his hand or Deck to the Graveyard.
- Bakura must thus pick the Black Gift-Box: his Graveyard is removed, and all cards that would normally be in it are returned to Bakura's side of the field as Phantoms. Phantoms do not count towards the Monster or Spell & Trap Card Zone limit, cannot attack or be attacked, have their effects negated and are unaffected by all effects.
- Summons "Necro Soldier" (0 ATK / 0 DEF) in Defense Position.
