Duelist " manga in the English version and the 234th chapter of " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " in the Japanese version . Summary . Dark Marik and Dark Bakura face off on top of the airship . Dark Marik reiterates that they ' ll play a Shadow Game , and that the loser will be obliterated . It ' s a Game of death , and Dark Bakura is the one who ' ll die , Dark Marik smirks . Dark Bakura smiles , telling Dark Marik to say what he wants before the darkness fills his mouth . Dark Marik thinks to himself that if he remembers correctly , Bakura fell against Yugi ' s " Slifer , " in the first of the four Duels . During the third Duel when Dark Marik crushed the girl , Dark Bakura ' s vessel was in the infirmary . In other words , Bakura never witnessed the power of Dark Marik ' s " The Sun Dragon Ra " firsthand . He ' s never seen the God card , and he won ' t know what hit him . But Dark Bakura laughs inwardly , thinking that Dark Marik is an idiot . Dark Marik ' s alter ego is Dark Bakura ' s partner . Marik ' s told Dark Bakura all about Dark Marik ' s God card and much more . It means he knows Marik ' s entire Deck . Dark Marik smirks , he knows the memory of his other self was implanted inside Dark Bakura , but Marik ' s Deck is weak . When their personalities changed , Dark Marik added many new cards of his own . And even if Dark Bakura knows the secrets of the God card , he has no way to resist it . He thinks that they should have fun coming up with a useless strategy . Dark Marik suggests they start the Duel , but Dark Bakura tells him to hold on ; Dark Marik ' s other half has something to say to him , and he irritably mutters that this is getting confusing . Dark Marik impatiently asks what , and Marik asks him if he is the evil self that Marik himself created . Dark Marik laughs , so what if he is ? Anger , hatred , the darkness that built a nest in Marik ' s heart . And out of that darkness hatched Dark Marik , the embodiment of Marik ' s darkest desires . Marik muses that Rishid sealed Dark Marik away , and Dark Marik replies that even sealed away , he still helped Marik . He took away his guilt . Laughing , he comments that a " thank you " would be nice . Marik then explains that in this state , he can communicate with the memories of other people who have been affected by the Millennium Rod . Anzu , the girl he brainwashed , just discovered something very interesting . His sister told him the secret of the Ishtars , the horrible truth that he could never accept - it was Dark Marik who killing his father . Dark Marik retorts that the two of them are two minds in one body , commenting that Marik shouldn ' t act like he isn ' t responsible , just because Dark Marik had the upper hand , and he calls Marik a " father - killer . " Marik shakily admits that the tragedy came from his own heart , and he asks his father what he has done . Dark Bakura snidely apologizes , also calling Marik " father - killer . " Marik states that five - years ago , the man he saw the day his father died , somehow Marik thought " he " was the one who was the resurrection of the Pharaoh ' s soul ; Marik thought that the man killed Marik ' s father . Dark Bakura is in shock , having realized from Marik ' s description that he ' s talking about Shadi , and he thinks that it ' s impossible , as five years ago , he was already . . . Dark Marik asks Marik what " Mr . dominant half " is trying to say , and Marik replies that Dark Marik will pay for Marik ' s father ' s death . They ' re both guilty , so they ' ll both pay . Dark Marik laughs , telling them to do their worst . Marik tells Bakura " let ' s go ! " Dark Bakura snaps at him to be quiet ; Marik isn ' t the boss of him . Marik protests that he can assist Dark Bakura in battle , but Dark Bakura replies that all Marik has to do is come through on their agreement . He ' ll defeat Marik ' s dark side and save the bald guy ' s life , in exchange for the Millennium Rod and the secret of the carvings on Marik ' s back . He angrily think that he thought putting all seven Millennium Items in the Tablet of the Pharaoh ' s Memories would give Dark Bakura the Shadow power , but there ' s some " other " requirement as well . Unless he decodes it , the door to " that place " won ' t open . He adds one more thing ; as long as Dark Bakura wins , Marik doesn ' t care if his body is burned to ashes , right ? Marik agrees , and Dark Bakura laughs . He ' s gald to hear it , now he can kill Dark Marik without worrying . Dark Marik retorts that he ' ll feed them both to the darkness . They both declare Shadow Duel , and darkness descends on the arena , blotting out the night sky . Dark Marik reminds Dark Bakura that this is a Shadow Game , and that the loser will be consumed , body and soul . It ' s the ultimate death Game . Dark Bakura muses on the words " body and soul consumed . " Dark Marik grins , telling him to just wait and see . Drawing , Dark Bakura takes the first turn , and he laughs , thinking that he ' ll set a powerful trap in the first round . Dark Marik thinks that he knows all about Dark Bakura ' s Occult Deck . Dark Bakura asks Dark Marik if he ' s ready . He plays a face - down card , then he Summons " Goblin Zombie " in Attack Position , ending his turn . Dark Marik smiles , thinking that Dark Bakura understands , doesn ' t he ? This kind of Shadow Game can only be fought by those chosen by the Millennium Items . Dark Marik draws , Setting a card and Summoning " Drillago " to do his bidding . The drill - covered monster attacks , and Dark Bakura laughs , activating his Trap Card , " Fearful Earthbound . " He tells Dark Marik to take a look at his feet , and Dark Marik blanches and the head of s massive spirit emerges below him , with Dark Marik between its jaws . Dark Bakura explains that he used a monster with low ATK as a decoy to activate " Fearful Earthbound , " and Dark Marik furiously realizes that he can ' t stop his monster ' s attack . As " Drillago " lunges for " Goblin Zombie , " Dark Bakura thinks that Dark Marik can go ahead and defeat his decoy . It ' s weak , anyway . The more monsters Dark Marik sends to the Graveyard , the stronger Dark Bakura ' s Occult Deck becomes . " Goblin Zombie " is pierced by the drills and wiped out , activating the effect of Dark Bakura ' s Permanent Trap Card . The jaws of the spirit close - and Dark Marik snorts , apologizing for spoiling Dark Bakura ' s plans . Dark Marik activates his " Remove Trap " to wipe out the ghost , dispelling it in a tornado . Dark Bakura snorts , until Dark Marik tells him to take a look at himself . As Bakura ' s Life Points are reduced to 3500 , his upper arm and shoulder disappear , much to his horror . Dark Marik laughs , commenting that it looks like Bakura was bitten . He lost some Life Points from Dark Marik ' s attack . In this Shadow Game , whenever one loses Life Points , the darkness eats their body away . Dark Bakura looks up , musing that hidden in that darkness is a beast that devours souls . He laughs , commenting that this is going to be fun . Dark Marik clarifies that those who lose all their Life Points are eaten by the void , body and soul . This is Dark Marik ' s death Game .
