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.

| ShortSummary = Yami Bakura returns Yugi's belongings, minus the Millennium Ring, as he states 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. 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 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. They refuse to let him leave on his own. | ShortSummary = Yami Bakura returns Yugi's belongings, minus the Millennium Ring, as he states he still needs it until Yugi obtains all seven of the Millennium Items.

| ShortSummary = Mana takes the Pharaoh back to the palace while Seto summons Blue-Eyes White Dragon to combat Zorc. Blue-Eyes White Dragon stops the solar eclipse but is defeated by Zorc, which turns Priest Seto and the Millennium Rod to stone. Kaiba takes over and summons Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, which is equal to power of Zorc. The explosive burst of energy their clashing attacks opens a rift from the Memory World to the Real World. Meanwhile, Yugi successfully defeats Yami Bakura. Yugi and his friends fly to the Pharaoh. The Pharaoh becomes Black Luster Soldier and fuses with Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, becoming Master of Dragon Knight. However, the Master of Dragon Knight is destroyed by its own attack during the battle and the Pharaoh is seemingly defeated. | ShortSummary = Mana takes the Pharaoh back to the palace while Seto summons Blue-Eyes White Dragon to combat Zorc.

| 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", 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 attacks Zorc directly with Horakhty's Shining Light Attack, 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. With his role in the past over, Atem's body dissolves even as Priest Seto promises to rule Egypt justly.

Pharaoh Atem and Yugi then separate into two physical beings. The duel that will determine the fate of Atem and Yugi begin. Pharaoh Atem summons "The Tricky" with an attack power of 2000 but Yugi plays the magic card, "Swords of Revealing Light".

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.

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.

| ShortSummary = Yugi is successful in defeating the Egyptian Gods. However, Atem is not worried at all. Atem admits that he knew that Yugi would defeat the Egyptian Gods. 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. (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.) | 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.)

| ShortSummary = Yugi tries his best to fend off the attacks from Atem's most powerful trump card, the "Dark Magician." Yugi then plays his Spell Card, "Gold Sarcophagus." 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. Everybody barely makes it out in time. As a result of the shrine's destruction, the Millennium Items are buried forever. Then, Yugi tells Joey that, "Sometimes, the end of one adventure is only beginning of another." This concludes the end of the 4-Kids version of the story. | ShortSummary = Yugi tries his best to fend off the attacks from Atem's most faithful servant, the "Dark Magician", but he is left with just 400 Life Points remaining. 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. Yugi's victory has finally set him free. Atem then departs into the afterlife. 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. Everybody barely makes it out in time. As a result of the shrine's destruction, the Millennium Items are buried forever. Yugi tells Joey that, "Sometimes, the end of one adventure is only beginning of another." This concludes the end of the 4-Kids version of the story.


In the extended ending (only in the original Japanese version), Yugi, Tea, Joey, Tristan, Bakura, Duke, Grandpa, Kaiba and Mokuba all leave Egypt and return to Domino City of Japan. In the airport, they meet up with Rebecca, Arthur, and Serenity. Both Duke and Tristan run towards Serenity, only to be pulled back by Joey. Rebecca hugs Yugi, much to Tea's annoyance.

The credits end with a cutscene where Grandpa is sweeping, while Yugi comes out from the house to join Tea, Joey, and Tristan to go to school.

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.
