	\|ShortSummary=Yugi decides to help Leon get rid of the Golden Castle of Stromberg, but this proves to be challenging as not only is it unaffected by card effects, it forces all monsters to battle and discards half of Yugi's Deck each turn. This proves to be its undoing, however, as he's left with one card and so can't discard half of it, destroying the card. Leon fights valiantly but loses to Yugi's Dark Magician. Zigfried is furious with this, but Leon manages to calm him down and forgives him. Yugi and his best friends are finally able to go back home.

	\|ShortSummary=Yami Bakura returns Yugi's belongings, minus the Millennium Ring, as he states that he still needs it, until Yugi obtains all seven of the Millennium Items. Then, he tries to persuade Yugi to help, using a combination of both facts and lies. However, Yugi refuses to trust him. Then, the Pharaoh tells Bakura to stop. Yami Bakura tells the Pharaoh that the only way to regain his memory is to play a game (the Ultimate Shadow Game), before departing. Then, Yami Bakura kidnaps Mokuba and sends his soul to the Shadow Realm, which forces Kaiba to duel him. Yami Bakura turns the duel into a Shadow Game, and he tells Kaiba that if he wins, then he will return Mokuba's soul. Planning to claim the great power of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon as his own, and to have Kaiba join ''"The Ultimate Shadow Game"'', Bakura attacks using a new deck of Egyptian-themed cards, including his "tablet" trap cards, and his spirit beast, Diabound Kernel. Diabound is able to absorb half of the power of Blue-Eyes each time it activates its ability, even as Kaiba manages to fight back. However, as the Sun rises, Bakura abandons the duel, stating that he had other "business" to attend to. However, he leaves a parting gift for Kaiba - the Millennium Eye, and tells him to come to Egypt if he wants to learn about his ancient past. As Yugi was about to board a flight to Cairo, Egypt, he meets up with Tea, Joey, and Tristan as they refuse to let him leave on his own.

Bakura the Thief takes the Millennium Ring, however, Mahad as Dark Magician is able to destroy Bakura's Diabound, which causes the cavern to collapse. Thief King Bakura barely manages to escape, while Mahad's soul is sealed into the stone tablet meant for Diabound.

	\|ShortSummary=Mahad and Mana mount a counterattack on Diabound, but it absorbs the dead spirits of Kul Elna to make itself even more powerful. Seto and the rest of the priests arrive to fight him, but they are unable to penetrate Diabound's spirit shield. Bakura takes the Millennium Scale from Karim and uses it to strengthen Diabound even more, by fusing another Shadow Creature (Illushu) with it. Shada locates Diabound's stone tablet, and plans to destroy it to eliminate the beast. However, Aknadin attacks him and takes the Millennium Key. As Shada realizes Aknadin's betrayal, he is dragged into Diabound's tablet by the spirits of Kul Elna. The Pharaoh and his Guardians try to defeat Diabound, however, Diabound is protected by the souls of Kul Elna, and Diabound's attacks overwhelm their monsters. As Diabound defeats the Sacred Guardians and the Pharaoh, the Pharaoh plans to surrender himself to the souls of Kul Elna. The angry spirits then enter the Pharoh's body, planning to drag him into the Shadow Realm. At the last possible moment, the Pharaoh's father, King Aknamkanon, intercepts the spirits and convince them to take his soul instead. However, Aknamkanon is much more powerful, and is able to trap the angry spirits within him. As a result, Shada is released from Diabound's tablet. Then, King Aknamkanon leads the spirits to the Shadow Realm (trapping himself there as well), after telling his son (the Pharaoh) to restore peace to Egypt. Bakura becomes enrages as the loss of the spirits weakens his Diabound. Mahad is finally able to defeat Diabound, with help from the Pharaoh. As Shada watches, Diabound's tablet cracks and breaks into pieces.

Thief King Bakura collapses, but manages to place his three Millennium Items into the Millennium stone. Then, Yami Bakura releases Thief King Bakura from his control, who is confused about what was happening, and is 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 then tells the others that he was merely using Bandit Bakura, the "poor fool," as a pawn. Later, Aknadin betrays the other priests, 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, from the Millennium Stone. Zorc then 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.

Now, Thief King Bakura is able to summon Diabound without its tablet, because he now has all seven Millennium Items. The Millennium Stone then sinks deep into the ground, along with the seven items. Bandit Bakura then uses Diabound to allow Aknadin escape, who takes Priest Seto with him. To give Zorc Necrophades enough time to be fully reborn, he separates the Pharaoh and his priests from one another, and attacks them with armies of monsters while they are isolated.

The ancient characters cannot be read but Yugi is going to reveal the Pharaoh's true name. Tea then remembers the cartouche pendant and passes it to the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh regained his true name, "Atem", the keyword which allowed him to summon the three Egyptian Gods and fuse them together to form the Creator of Light, Horakhty. (Horakhty is a level 12, warrior-type Divine-God attribute monster, with infinite attack and defense points.) The Pharaoh then attacks Zorc directly with Horakhty's Shining Light Attack, which results in Zorc being destroyed forever. Later, the Pharaoh entrusts the Millennium Items to Priest Seto (his soul was released from the Shadow Realm) and makes him the next Pharaoh of Egypt. Then, Pharaoh Atem's body dissolves (since his role in the past was over), even as Priest Seto promises to rule Egypt justly. Afterwards, Atem and his friends leave the Memory World of the past.

			\| ShortSummary = Yugi, Joey, and others summon monsters to help the Pharaoh. The ancient characters of his name cannot be read so they cannot tell the Pharaoh what it is. Tea remembers the cartouche pendant and the group focus on it, causing the characters they saw to materialize on its surface. The Pharaoh reads it, regaining his true name, "Atem". Imbued with this power, he revives the three Egyptian Gods and fuses them together to form the Creator of Light, Horakhty. (Horakhty is a level 12, warrior-type Divine-God attribute monster, with infinite attack and defense points; if successfully summoned during a duel, it results in an instant win.) The Pharaoh attacks Zorc directly with Horakhty's Shining Light, which results in Zorc being destroyed forever. Later, the Pharaoh entrusts the Millennium Items to the revived Priest Seto and makes him the next Pharaoh of Egypt as Aknadin says. With his role in the past over, Atem's body dissolves even as Priest Seto promises to rule Egypt justly. Atem and his friends leave the Memory World.

Atem has set his mind to sealing the seven Millennium Items away, along with himself. However, as part of a rite of passage, someone must defeat Atem in a duel to do so. Although Kaiba and Joey both volunteer, Yugi takes the honor. The duel will take place tomorrow and both Pharaoh Atem and Yugi construct their best deck possible.

Although Yugi is able to dodge Obelisk's next attack against his "Silent Swordsman", Pharaoh Atem retaliates by summoning both "Slifer, the Sky-Dragon" and "The Winged Dragon of Ra" (also demonstrating that Atem knows the ancient chant required to summon Ra) in the same turn, giving him all three Egyptian Gods on the field at the same time.

	\|ShortSummary=The duel between Yugi and Atem continues. Atem summons the three gods: Ra, Obelisk and Slifer to the field. The sum of their attack power exceeds ten thousand. Yugi is overwhelmed, but he parries Slifer's Summon Thunder Bullet with this episode's Key Point: a Quick Spell card, "Mirage Magic." When a player's monsters' Attack Power and Defense Power increase or decrease due to an opponent's card, this negates the effect and recovers the difference in Life Points. Furthermore, Yugi also dodges Obelisk's attack with the Trap card "Mirage Ruler." Yugi finally makes a counterattack move that threatens the Egyptian Gods.

			\| ShortSummary = The duel between Yugi and Atem continues. The sum of the attack power of Atem's three Egyptian Gods exceeds ten thousand. Yugi is overwhelmed, but successfully summons one of his most powerful monsters, "Valkyrion The Magna Warrior", by discarding the three smaller Magna Warriors — Alpha, Beta and Gamma — to the graveyard, and he then parries Slifer's Summon Thunder Bullet with a Quick Spell card, "Mirage Magic". When a player's monsters' Attack Power and Defense Power increases or decreases due to an opponent's card effect, "Mirage Magic" negates the effect and recovers the difference in Life Points. Furthermore, Yugi also dodges the attacks of all three Egyptian Gods with the Trap card "Mirage Ruler", forcing Atem to end his turn. Yugi finally makes a counterattack move that threatens the Egyptian Gods. He summons the three smaller Magna Warriors — Alpha, Beta and Gamma — from the graveyard in return for sacrificing "Valkyrion The Magna Warrior", and then activates the Trap Card, "Magnet Force", which transfers the effect of Silfer's Summon Thunder Bullet onto the Egyptian Gods themselves. However, when he launches an attack with "Silent Swordsman", Atem activates his facedown Trap Card, "Mirror Force", destroying every monster Yugi had on the field, seemingly leaving him in an unassailable position.

Now the real duel begins between Yugi and Atem. Now, Yugi must face his most trusted creature, the Dark Magician, if he wants to help Atem.

			\| ShortSummary = Yugi uses the last card in his hand, "Magnet Reverse", allowing him to summon "Valkyrion The Magna Warrior" back from the graveyard. With "Magnet Force" still in play, Yugi uses Slifer's Summon Thunder Bullet to destroy Obelisk. Moreover, using Valkyrion's special ability, Yugi sacrifices it to summon the three smaller Magna Warriors — Alpha, Beta and Gamma — back to the field, and Slifer's three Summon Thunder Bullets are redirected to both Slifer and Ra, destroying them both. Having successfully defeated the Egyptian Gods, Kaiba himself finally admits that he was wrong about Yugi, and pronounces him as "The King of Games", as he did not believe defeating all three Egyptian Gods simultaneously was possible. However, Atem is not worried at all, admitting that he knew that Yugi would defeat the Egyptian Gods. Atem and Yugi trade blows with "Chimera The Flying Mythical Beast" and "Buster Blader" respectfully, before Atem summons "Swift Gaia The Fierce Knight", whom he discarded to the graveyard on his very first move of the game, and uses it to destroy "Buster Blader". Yugi responds by summoning "Summoned Skull" and "Curse of Dragon", but Atem demonstrates his power to control his deck at will, and summons "Big Shield Gardna" to defend himself, albeit temporarily. In a final act of defiance, Atem gives up half his remaining Life Points to play "Dark Magic Curtain", thus allowing him to summon his most trusted creature, the "Dark Magician". (Note: When this aired in the U.S, the ending said "To Be Concluded" instead of "To Be Continued", thus signifying the end of the series.)

The Gold Sarcophagus negates the effects of another magic card that is stored in the chest. Yugi was finally able to defeat the "Dark Magician" with his "Silent Magician." Atem tries to activate the Spell card Monster Reborn so he can revive Slifer the Sky Dragon, but when Yugi opens the Gold Sarcophagus to reveal the card he sealed, the card was "Monster Reborn". It means neither of them can use that card in this game. It is Yugi's message to the Pharaoh that "Those of the dead should not remain in the world of the living." Yugi finally defeats Atem, but immediately collapses on his knees, crying. Despite Atem telling Yugi that he shouldn't cry, Yugi tells Atem that he (Yugi) is a coward, and that Atem was always his goal. Atem comforts Yugi, saying that he isn't a coward; instead, Yugi's victory has finally set him free. Atem then departs into the afterlife, while Yugi and his friends begin a new journey. Then, the Millennium Stone shatters, which causes the seven Millennium Items to fall into the pit left behind. Also, the shrine collapses, and Shadi's spirit is seen here one last time.

Yugi then plays a Spell Card, "Gold Sarcophagus", which allows Yugi to choose any magic card from his deck and store it in the chest; if Atem ever uses the same card himself, then Yugi can negate the activation of that card. Yugi tries to use "Gandora The Dragon of Destruction" to defeat the "Dark Magician", just how he was able to defeat Yami Bakura, but to no avail. Atem summons his "Dark Magician Girl" to support his "Dark Magician" in response to Yugi summoning his "Silent Magician". Yugi forces Atem to sacrifice both of his magicians to protect his Life Points after Yugi uses "Card of Sanctity" to increase the strength of his "Silent Magician". Atem then tries to activate the Spell Card, "Monster Reborn", so he can revive "Slifer the Sky Dragon", but at that moment, Yugi opens the Gold Sarcophagus to reveal the card he sealed away. The card was "Monster Reborn", meaning that neither of them can use that card in this game. It is Yugi's message to the Pharaoh that "Those of the dead should not remain in the world of the living". With the activation of "Monster Reborn" negated, and Slifer the Sky Dragon sent back to the graveyard, Atem is left defenceless. Yugi finally defeats him, but immediately collapses on his knees in tears, distraught at the realisation he will never see Atem again. Despite Atem telling Yugi that he shouldn't cry, Yugi tells Atem that he (Yugi) is weak, and that Atem's strength and bravery was always his goal. Atem comforts Yugi, saying that he displayed true courage in even deciding to duel Atem in the first place, and that he had a power that no-one else could conquer: that of kindness.

List of episodes

The fifth and final season of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, loosely based on the manga by Kazuki Takahashi, aired in Japan on TV Tokyo from December 24, 2003, to September 29, 2004. The official name of the latter arc of the season is Pharaoh's Memories arc. In the United States, the season aired from August 27, 2005, to June 10, 2006, on Kids' WB and broadcast under the Grand Championship (episodes 1–14) and Dawn of the Duel subtitles.

The season was formerly licensed by 4Kids Entertainment in North America and other English-speaking countries and territories, and was formerly distributed by Funimation on Region 1 home video, and also distributed by Warner Bros. Television Animation on US television when it aired on The WB, from the Kids' WB! Lineup, also in North America. It is now licensed and distributed by 4K Media, Inc.

This arc is divided into two halves: the first fourteen episodes were aired while the final chapters of the manga were being written, with the main antagonist defeated. It follows an original story arc in-which Kaiba hosts a new tournament that is secretly being sabotaged by a skilled duelist named Zigfried, who uses his hacking skills in an attempt to enact revenge against Kaiba. Capsule Monsters was commissioned by 4Kids as an addendum to the first half.

The rest of the season, the climax, features The Pharaoh battling Yami Bakura, while Yugi and his friends travel the memory world to discover the Pharaoh's real name. It aired after the time where the original manga series concluded.

Episode list

Excludes Capsule Monsters. The season would be 52 episodes in length with an episode count of 236 if Capsule Monsters is to be included.
