Yu - Gi - Oh ! The Movie : Pyramid of Light Yu - Gi - Oh ! the Movie : The Pyramid of Light , known in Japan as Yu - Gi - Oh ! Duel Monsters : Pyramid of Light is an anime film based on the Yu - Gi - Oh ! franchise . The film ' s director was Hatsuki Tsuji . Although the movie took place after the Battle City arc , it is debatable as to whether or not it is canon due to the alternate explanation of how Yugi Muto solved the Millennium Puzzle and the inclusion of Anubis ( who has not been mentioned outside of the film ) in the film . The characters and naming are the same as the English version of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " , or " Yu - Gi - Oh ! Duel Monsters " television show . The musical score and the sound effects are all completely brand new and American - made , and there is no original Japanese music or sound effects in the English dub of the movie . It has also been turned into an ani - manga . On February 1 , 2018 , it was announced by Fathom Events and 4K Media that the film will be getting a remastered re - release in 800 American theaters through March 11 to 12 . Synopsis . The events of Battle City have just concluded , and Yugi now owns all three Egyptian God cards . Seto Kaiba longs to finally defeat him , and he has a plan . He suspects that since Maximillion Pegasus created the Egyptian God cards , he would have also created a way to beat them , just in case something ever went wrong . Kaiba heads off to Pegasus ' s castle and challenges him to a duel . The stakes are the following : if Pegasus wins , he gets Kaiba ' s three " Blue - Eyes White Dragons " ; if Kaiba wins , Pegasus hands over the card that can beat the Egyptian Gods . Kaiba wins , and Pegasus must fulfill his wager : he picks up two cards from Pegasus ' s deck s . However , Pegasus is confused ; he only created " one " card to beat the Egyptian Gods , not two . . . Meanwhile , Yugi Muto and Téa Gardner , seeking refuge from a mob of duelists wanting to face Yugi for the Egyptian Gods , stumble into Domino Museum , where they discover a new attraction on display called the Pyramid of Light , which looks a little like the Millennium Puzzle . Yugi ' s grandpa , Solomon Muto ( who also happens to be visiting the museum ) , reads an inscription on the side of a sarcophagus ( " The eye that sees what ' s yet to come , its vision shall be fulfilled , unless blinded by events predetermined , thus light & shadows both be killed " ) , triggering a strange vision in Yugi ' s mind concerning his Millennium Puzzle , the Pyramid of Light , Anubis , and Kaiba . After he wakes up , he finds the pyramid stolen , the sarcophagus now empty , and Mokuba standing outside . Mokuba says that Kaiba wants Yugi to bring his duel disk to the KaibaCorp Duel Dome immediately . Yugi does so , transforming into Yami Yugi on the way , and finds Kaiba ready to duel . Seto asks Mokuba to seal all the exits , forcing Yugi to duel him , but not before Joey Wheeler and Tristan Taylor find their way in to watch . The duel goes on for what seems like an eternity , and Yugi is starting to suspect that there are dark forces at work - especially when Kaiba activate s a Trap Card called the " Pyramid of Light " , which not only bears a striking resemblance to its namesake in the museum , but also prevents Yugi from using any of the Egyptian Gods ! Before long , Kaiba has his " Blue - Eyes Ultimate Dragon " on the field , but to Yugi ' s surprise , he sacrifices it to summon a monster known as the " Blue - Eyes Shining Dragon " , which is even stronger ! The Pyramid of Light also pulls the souls of Yugi , Joey , and Tristan into Yugi ' s Millenium Puzzle , where they are chased by a group of mummies controlled by an unknown force . . . The power of " Blue - Eyes Shining Dragon " brings Yugi to the verge of defeat , but Kaiba decides to humiliate his rival with the most ironic victory possible : wiping him out with his own Egyptian Gods ! Having used " Pyramid of Light " to remove the gods from play , he intends to use " Return from the Different Dimension " to get them under his control - but first , he needs to destroy " Pyramid of Light " , otherwise it would just destroy the gods again ! Kaiba commands his " Blue - Eyes Shining Dragon " to use its " Shining Nova " effect , which allows it to sacrifice itself to destroy anything on the field - and he aims it at the " Pyramid of Light " . Suddenly , a ghostly voice calls out , " " This I cannot allow ! " " , and the Pyramid stays exactly where it is . Then , a man rises up from behind Kaiba , throws him aside , and takes over the duel himself . It ' s Anubis , the Egyptian Lord of the Dead , whom the Pharaoh destroyed 5000 years ago . But now he ' s back with the Pyramid of Light around his neck and two of his most powerful monsters - " Andro Sphinx " and " Sphinx Teleia " ! On top of this , Téa , Joey , Tristan and Yugi are all trapped inside the Millennium Puzzle , leaving the Pharaoh to duel all alone . Putting all his faith into the cards , Yugi draws the " Double Spell " card , which allows him to discard his other spell card to activate " Monster Reborn " from Seto ' s Graveyard . He uses it to revive " Blue - Eyes Shining Dragon " , who then destroys the " Pyramid of Light " ( after it was weakened by Yugi from inside the Millennium Puzzle ) , along with " Andro Sphinx " and " Sphinx Teleia " . But Anubis isn ' t finished yet . With the Pyramid gone , he combines his fallen Sphinxes into a new , even stronger monster - " Theinen the Great Sphinx " ! Yugi , however , activates " Reverse of Reverse " to activate Kaiba ' s " Return from the Different Dimension " . The God Monsters return and destroy the Great Sphinx , seemingly taking Anubis with it . But a giant jackal - the ancient Egyptian representation of Anubis , the Lord of the Dead - rises from the remains of the Pyramid ! Kaiba and Yugi join forces , putting all their strength into the " Blue - Eyes Shining Dragon " card , and using Shining Nova to destroy Anubis once and for all . On top of it all , Pegasus , who had earlier arrived via helicopter to help them , gets them out of the explosion in time . Relation to canon . " Yu - Gi - Oh ! The Movie : Pyramid of Light " creates some mild continuity problems within the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " manga / anime series by inserting the character of Anubis into the show ' s history . Though designed by Kazuki Takahashi himself , the character is mentioned nowhere else in canon ; despite his supposed prominence in the Pharaoh ' s past , he does not appear during the " Dawn of the Duel " arc , though their encounter could easily take place prior to the events shown in that storyline . The scene at the start of the movie showing Yugi ' s completion of the Millennium Puzzle differs slightly from that seen in the original manga , but the " Duel Monsters " anime had , at that point , never shown the puzzle ' s completion , meaning this scene did not contradict anything yet established in the anime ' s continuity . A flashback in episode 180 would later show the puzzle ' s completion , matching what was seen in the movie . If taken as canonical , the movie can be considered to take place after the events of Episode 184 of " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " , due to the fact that one of the video screens shows Yugi and his three Egyptian God monsters in the sky , which happened during his clash with the Great Leviathan in Episode 183 . It also most likely takes place before Episode 199 of " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " , because Yugi was preparing to go to Egypt in said episode . However , the dubbed series had Tristan make reference to the movie ' s events in episode 148 . Errors . There were several errors in the English version of the movie . However , most of them were fixed or pointed out when it aired in Japan . Featured duels . Simulated : Seto Kaiba VS . Yugi Muto .
