At the KaibaCorp space station , Seto Kaiba observes a virtual reconstruction of the Millennium Puzzle . In Kul Elna , the Shrine of the Underworld is excavated by KaibaCorp , with Mani , among the workers . One of the other workers takes out a device , displaying an image of the Millennium Puzzle being worn by Yugi Muto , so that he knows what it is they are looking for . He exits the shrine just as a helicopter , carrying Mokuba Kaiba flies past . At Kame Game , Yugi is leaving to go to school , but is stopped by Solomon Muto , who comments on Téa Gardner . Yugi leaves and at a flight of stairs , meets Téa , who greets him with a shoulder bump . Joey Wheeler hurriedly cycles to school . His carelessness causes him to get soaked by Sanpei emptying a bucket of water and knock over a policeman . Yugi and Téa arrive at school , where they spot Ryo Bakura , who is being obsessed over by a group of girls . Joey catches up with Tristan Taylor and with one minute before the school gate closes , Tristan gets onto the back of Joey ' s bike . The two speed downhill and get inside the gate , just as Mr . Karita shuts it . At lunchtime on the roof of the school , Yugi and his friends discuss their futures . Téa has been accepted for a study abroad program and wishes to become a professional dancer . Tristan is unhappy with the job he has lined up working in his father ' s factory . Joey would like to become a professional Duelist and claims the is no one out there who can stop him , but Tristan points that their math teacher can , having confiscated Joey ' s Duel Disk for polishing it in class . Téa encourages Yugi to tell the group his plan . He reckons he will stay working in Kame Game , helping his grandfather , but also intends to design on his own games , hoping that one day he will invent one that they can all play together . Joey proposes a pact that they all meet up to play Yugi ' s game , after it makes it big . Yugi is worried that they ' re getting overly faithful of his success , but Téa assures him he can do it . When Yugi and his friends return to class , they spot a new student . They think that they remember him , but struggle to think of his name , before Tristan finally says that it is Aigami . After school , Yugi is walking with Joey and Téa . Joey has received back his Duel Disk . As Yugi looks through his Deck , he thinks of Atem and pauses . Joey asks him what is wrong and although Yugi insists it is nothing , Joey realizes he is thinking of Atem and say that it is impossible to forget him . Yugi reflects on the Ceremonial Battle , remembering himself sealing " Monster Reborn " in " Gold Sarcophagus " , Atem walking through the Doorway to the Underworld and the Millennium Items falling into the depths of the Earth . Joey notices Aigami , being harassed by Scud and his gang , with Scud commenting on Aigami ' s cute face and making provocative remarks . Joey jumps down from the bridge and approaches the group . Scud and his companions let the matter drop for the time being and leave Aigami alone , but Scud instructs Aigami to meet him at the KaibaCorp construction site later and threatens him , should he not show up . Aigami thanks Joey , Téa and Yugi insists that he is fine , before leaving . Later at the construction site , Scud and his gang have a video camera to record Aigami . They threaten him with various weapons and say that today ' s lesson is " pain " . Aigami is silent at first , but laughs and asks the gang how long he has been in their memories and if they are aware that he has altered them . He produces the Quantum Cube and the lights go out . A group of children with glowing eyes appear and surround the gang . The gangsters start to glow and a symbol appears on Aigami ' s forehead . Scud and his gang are disintegrated and drop their camera . Aigami walks away , but returns to collect the camera . At a church - like setting , Yami Yugi dressed as he was , while sharing Yugi ' s body and has two additional gold armbands . He walks through a set of doors , where he faces Kaiba . The two engage in a Duel , which ultimately ends in Kaiba ' s victory . The Duel is revealed to have taken place in a virtual reality , while Kaiba is in his space station . One of Kaiba ' s scientists hands him a bottle of water and comments on how well the system is performing , but Kaiba is not happy . He deems the Duel imperfect , because despite the accuracy and fine - tuning of his recreation of Atem , it was not the real thing . In frustration , he throws the bottle on to the ground . Mokuba contacted the space station and informed Kaiba that they had found the pieces of the Millennium Puzzle at the excavation . At a mall , Yugi , Téa , Tristan and Bakura are sitting at Devlin ' s cafe , being served by Duke Devlin , Yugi reads news of Scud and his gang ' s disappearance . He , Téa and Duke note that it is only one of many cases of people mysteriously disappearing recently . Bakura mentions how the person responsible could be watching them , but Anzu accredited that paranoia to the Bakura fanclub , who were spying on him from behind a pillar . Nearby , Joey is wearing a dog costume , walking around , handing out balloons . Tristan repairs Joey ' s Duel Disk at the table , which Duke remarks is brave of him , as he could get blamed for breaking it . Aigami teleports to the mall , where he stands on a higher level and watches over Yugi and his friends . He reflects on a time he was in Prana Realm , a plateau above the clouds . There were seven pillars on the plateau , each depicting a Millennium Item . As Aigami stands before one of the pillars , children appear and disappear , while he and Sera remain constantly present . Aigami reflects further back to when he and Sera were alone and thirsty in Egypt . Sera refers to Aigami as " Diva " , as she gives him a cup of water . Aigami decides to leave the plateau and is followed by some of the others , including Mani . In the present , Mani calls Aigami a few times , at the mall , before Aigami takes notice . He tries to talk him out of a revenge he knows he is considering , stating it not the target ' s fault or what their mentor would have wanted . He then informs him that Kaiba found the Millennium Puzzle , prompting Aigami to teleport away . Kaiba suddenly appears on screens across the mall and introduces his new Duel Disk , which he says will be demonstrated in an exhibition Duel at Kaiba Land . Joey groans that he will not be able to afford the new Duel Disk and Tristan suggests that he will need to get another part - time job . Annoyed , Joey accuses Tristan of breaking his Duel Disk , despite having asked him to fix it , and insists that Tristan now owes him for it . The two get into a fight and their antics cause a girl to lose a balloon that Joey handed out . Téa tries to break them up , but Joey eats her ice cream , while continuing to fight . Joey ' s boss , Mr . Clown , sees this and lectures Joey on the importance of his job . In Kul Elna , Mokuba and Roland are waiting for Kaiba , who soon arrives in his Blue - Eyes White Dragon jet . The group entered the Shrine of the Underworld and Kaiba notes the location of the Ceremonial Battle . He and Mokuba walk towards the disassembled Millennium Puzzle , whose pieces are being scanned by a computer . Mokuba asks how Kaiba plans on reconstructing the puzzle , when it took Yugi eight years to do so and Kaiba makes a reply about Yugi being a child , when he did it . Kaiba is informed that it takes 30 minutes to disable the security system for the Millennium Puzzle ' s lock . To pass the time Kaiba , says he shall have a Duel and aware of Aigami ' s presence among the crowd , Kaiba calls him out , using the name , " Diva " . Aigami is impressed that Kaiba he knew his real name and Kaiba asks how he is in Egypt , having been in Domino City just minutes ago , while showing footage of him . One of the KaibaCorp men threatens Aigami with a gun . An act , which is mocked by Aigami , before using the Quantum Cube to make the man disappear . After witnessing this , group of workers run away , leaving just Kaiba , Mokuba , Aigami , Mani and some KaibaCorp employees . Aigami attempts to use his cube on Kaiba , but Kaiba readies his Duel Disk , which counters the effect of the cube . Kaiba yells , asking if Aigami thinks he can defeat him with his own power . Aigami instead challenges Kaiba to a Duel , which he accepts and the cube transforms into a Duel Disk . Kaiba and Aigami Duel using the Dimension Area ruleset . Kaiba is outperformed at first , but resolves that he cannot lose , since he must face " Yugi " , before correcting himself and saying " Atem " . Kaiba slams his hand into the ground and then draws " Obelisk the Tormentor " . He Summons it , which Aigami thought would be impossible , since " Obelisk " was one of the pharaoh ' s monsters . Kaiba sacrificed two of his monsters to use the effect of " Obelisk " , leaving Aigami with 1000 Life Points . The Duel is interrupted , as the computer finishes scanning the pieces of the Millennium Puzzle . Mokuba then hooks the case containing the puzzle to the KaibaCorp helicopter and flies away , taunting Aigami . However Aigami teleports up onto the case and with a glowing purple hand , reaches through the glass . Mokuba sees what Aigami is doing and headbutts him , knocking him off the case . Kaiba concludes that he has what he needs and gets back into his jet to leave . Mani notices the pit that the puzzle had been extracted from is glowing , so he teleports into it and finds the Millennium Ring . Joey wakes up on the top of a flying KaibaCorp blimp , where Kaiba is patronizingly towering over him . He taunts him about the new Duel Disk , saying that a commoner ( 凡骨 " bonkotsu " ) like him will never be able to afford it and teasingly asks if he wants it . Joey falls off the blimp , but wakes from his dream , during the graduation rehearsal at school , falling out of his chair . On the stage , Yugi practices his speech , while Aigami stands at the back of the hall , only visible to Sera , who has just arrived . She refers to Aigami as " brother " and asks if he fought Kaiba . Aigami hands her a piece , he managed to swipe from the Millennium Puzzle , and instructs her to keep it safe . He comments on the resurrection of the pharaoh , but Sera is not too enthusiastic . She disappears , leaving Aigami to approach Yugi and his friends , expressing interest in getting to know them better . The group go bowling with Aigami and then head to a fast - food restaurant . The group tell Aigami stories about their adventures , Joey shows his Deck to Aigami and praises Yugi ' s Dueling skills . Aigami shows interest in Dueling Yugi , but Joey says that he will have to get through him first , so Yugi invites them to have a Duel tournament at his house . Kaiba enters an elevator , which takes him to the space station . He takes the Millennium Puzzle pieces to a small room and puts them on a floor , where a computer begins to put the pieces together . It provides a six - hour estimate for completion and Kaiba is thinking to himself " Wait for me . . . Yugi " . Aigami , Bakura and Joey are on their way to visit Yugi , for the friendly tournament . Aigami shows Joey and Bakura his Quantum Cube , which he says is a Deck case , which was given to him by someone important to him . Bakura mentions having once had an item that his father brought back from Egypt and Aigami replies that he would like to hear more of this story . At Kame Game , Yugi is preparing his Deck for the Duel tournament , when Sera enters the store . She notices the Millennium Puzzle box , which Yugi had been keeping his cards in and comments that is pretty . Yugi tidies it away and informs her that it is not for sale . Sera shows him the Prana Realm with the seven pillars and then takes him back to the store . She has now disappeared , but Yugi opens the puzzle box and finds the piece of the Millennium Puzzle that Aigami had given to Sera . At the space station , the computer has almost finished reassembling the Millennium Puzzle , but reports that two pieces are missing . At first , Kaiba says that this is impossible , but then realizes that Aigami must have taken them when he put his hand through the glass . Bakura talks about how he stowed away in the cargo of a ship in Egypt when he was young , while his father searched for the Millennium Ring , but he stops talking , unsure why he is sharing this information . Aigami uses his powers on Bakura , who cries out that he does not want to remember . A group of Plana children appear and Joey tries to get himself and Bakura to leave . Aigami sends Joey to another dimension , where he finds himself in a street , with other people walking past him . Aigami explains that this world is being sustained by Joey ' s memories , and that as soon as Joey forgets something it will disappear . Joey seems to take advantage of this and recreates a street he rides his bicycle down at the beginning of the movie , complete with Sanpei splashing a bucket of water on him like before . However , the people he recreated pay no attention to him . Aigami asks if Joey really thinks he can win a battle of wits with him , and decides to start erasing Joey ' s memories , causing the world to rapidly dissolve around him . While Yugi is wondering where everyone is , Tristan arrives and informs him that he has found Joey ' s bicycle and Duel Disk abandoned , something Joey would never do . He takes Yugi on his motorbike to search for Joey and they meet with Téa . Aigami approaches Bakura , who is cringed on the ground , in a panic . Aigami laughs and asks if he does not remember . He conjures a flashback , where Shadi Shin , is with a group of children including Aigami , Sera and Mani . The Tablet of the Pharaoh ' s Memories is nearby , with the Millennium Ring and Scales inside it . Shadi explains that three of the Millennium Items are weak to evil , three represent justice and that the Millennium Puzzle contains both justice and evil . He says to Aigami that he is on the same level as the person destined to solve the Millennium Puzzle . Shadi states that when the seven Millennium Items are gathered the door to a better world will open and that the children may travel there , because they have been chosen . The young Aigami thinks that he wants to go to that world and says that he is not afraid of anything , because of his friends and family , but Shadi replies that it is his fear . Bakura ' s father appears and is excited to see the Millennium Ring , having spent his life searching for it . He offers Shadi a bag of money for the item . Shadi explains that the item is not for sale , but that he can put it on , so he can be tested to see if he is worthy . Bakura ' s father puts the ring on , but after a few seconds , he is thrown across the room , with the ring detaching from him . Bakura ' s father is attacked by shadows in the shape of snakes , prompting the young Ryo Bakura to emerge from his hiding place to help him . He runs to his father , who begs him to get the ring . Bakura picks it up and a purple light is emitted . Yami Bakura is awakened , while the Millennium Ring fuses into Bakura ' s body , disappearing under his skin . Yami Bakura thanks Shadi for bringing him a nice landlord and proceeds to attack and fatally wound Shadi . The children run to Shadi , who gives the Quantum Cube to Aigami , just before dying . Yami Bakura continues to attack the children , with Aigami and Sera managing to survive . In the present , Bakura is shocked by what he has seen . He weeps and claims that it was all the Millennium Ring , but apologizes for taking away someone important to Aigami . Mani arrives with the Millennium Ring , now warped by its evil . He attempts to kill Bakura , before regaining control of himself . He throws Bakura to one side and tells Aigami to run . Bakura is transported to one dimension . Aigami and Mani go to another , where Mani dies and disappears . Aigami considers taking the Millennium Ring , but stops when he hears Yugi calling for Joey . At Domino City Plaza , Aigami appears before Yugi and admits that he is a Prana , whose real name is Diva . He explains that the " Aigami " Yugi knew was merely an illusion , implanted in his memory . Inside , the dissolving dimension , Joey falls and his body begins to fade away with the rest of the world . However there is a flash of light and Joey sees Atem . Joey then finds himself back in his own world , where Yugi , Téa and Tristan and relieved to find him , but still worried about Bakura . Aigami then disappears , calling Yugi and his friends interesting . Joey begins to tell Yugi , about him seeing Atem , but stops himself and says it is nothing , before rushing to help find Bakura . While Aigami is on the roof of a building , he is suddenly abducted and blindfolded by a group of men from KaibaCorp . He is brought before Kaiba , who demands the pieces of the puzzle . After refusing to hand them over , he is taken to Kaiba Land . During his search for Bakura , Yugi stops at a road crossing just as the lights change . He takes a moment to catch his breath and notices that the traffic is stopped , when it should be moving . Looking into the intersection , he sees that Kaiba is the source of the disruption . Yugi asks him what he is doing there and Kaiba declares that Yugi is to take part in the exhibition Duel at Kaiba Land , no excuses . He shows Yugi the near - reassembled Millennium Puzzle and expresses his belief that Yugi and Aigami have the two missing pieces . Before leaving on his helicopter , he explains that his goal is to face " the other Yugi " and that Yugi alone is of little interest to him . Yugi sees that the Millennium Puzzle box with his piece is in the road and proceeds to collect it just as traffic begins to move . He almost gets hit by a truck , but is saved by Sera , who teleports him to safety . Yugi thanks her and she says it is up to him to complete the Puzzle or not once again . She also requests that Yugi save her elder brother . Aigami dreams of himself and Sera , back in Egypt , thirsty and begging people , who regard them as a nuisance . He wakes up tied to a chair in a glass prison , with Mokuba on the other side of the glass . Kaiba monitors their interaction externally . Mokuba taunts Aigami , who affirms that Kaiba will never get both pieces . However Mokuba claims to already know where the other piece is and shows him pictures of Sera . At the Kaiba Land stadium , which boosts a high attendance , Kaiba Summons " Neo Blue - Eyes Ultimate Dragon " and has it attack Solid Vision fighter jets . He gives a speech to the audience about Dueling and his new Duel Disk . Among those in attendance are Weevil Underwood and Rex Raptor . Yugi and Aigami are introduced and Kaiba announces that he will be Dueling each of them for their pieces of the Millennium Puzzle . Sera appears before Aigami and apologizes , but maintains that she made the right decision in giving her puzzle piece to Yugi . Aigami is relieved to see that she is okay . Yugi gets annoyed and demands that he be the one to Duel Aigami . Since Aigami had hurt Yugi ' s friends and caused Bakura ' s disappearance , Yugi considers this to be his battle . Kaiba allows for it and throws Yugi a new Duel Disk . Yugi and Aigami begin to Duel . After reducing Yugi to just a few Life Points , Aigami claims he is not doing anything wrong ; he just wishes to go the new dimension and leave the current corrupt world behind . He invites Yugi to join him , but Yugi refuses to give up on the current world and its future . Aigami reflects on his youth , when he was living with an abusive man , who would get children to steal for him . The man would neglect the children and use the stolen money to take care on himself . Shadi appeared before them and immobilized the man . He approached Aigami and pushed against his forehead , causing a gold symbol to momentarily appear . When Sera asked what he did to her brother , Shadi assured her that he was safe . He then proceeded to perform the same action on the other children . Finally , he unfroze the man and used the Quantum Cube to put an end to him . In the present , Yugi turns the Duel in his favor and defeats Aigami , reiterating that he believes in the future . Aigami disappears after the Duel . While Joey , Téa and Tristan celebrate Yugi ' s victory , a light appears in the audience , as Bakura is brought back to their world . Kaiba advances to the field to Duel Yugi for the two pieces . He states that his goal is to bring back " the other Yugi , " whom he has unfinished business with . He does not expect the Duel to take long , as he is only Dueling the regular Yugi . Kaiba places the Millennium Puzzle in the center of the field , where it floats in a beam of light . Yugi tries to tell Kaiba that Atem is gone , but he pays no attention and they begin their Duel . A few turns in , Yugi insists that the Duel is pointless and demonstrates by inserting the last two pieces into the Millennium Puzzle . Nothing happens , much to Kaiba ' s surprise . Aigami is back in the dimension where Mani had died and sees the Millennium Ring again . Sensing his presence , the Ring engulfs him in evil energy . He screams for Sera to save him . Yugi explains to Kaiba that nothing happened because Atem is no longer inside the Puzzle . Kaiba is furious and accuses Yugi of deceiving him . The two continue to Duel and Yugi eventually attacks Kaiba , who had 2500 Life Points , with " Dark Magician " , which had 2500 ATK . Kaiba ' s Life Points decrease , but he smirks as the counter suddenly stops at 100 . The power at the stadium is shut down , prematurely ending the Duel . People in the audience scream as they suddenly disappear in a wave of darkness . Aigami , now influenced by the evil of the Millennium Ring as Dark Diva , appears and Yugi and Kaiba team up to Duel him . The Duel is a Shadow Game , where players ' bodies fade away as they lose Life Points . Dark Diva reaches a point where he can defeat one of his opponents and chooses Yugi . However Kaiba redirects the attack to himself and hands Yugi the Millennium Puzzle , before disappearing , demanding that Yugi " call him now " . Yugi puts on the puzzle and continues the Duel . Towards the end , Yugi ' s body reaches its limits and he finds himself incapable of drawing his next card . He apologizes to everyone and begins to black out , but is suddenly engulfed in a beam of golden light . Atem , dressed in the Domino High School uniform , appears . Without speaking , Atem Summons " Palladium Oracle Mahad " , who kneels before him . " Mahad " then defeats Diva , whose body reverts to normal , before disappearing . Gold light moves throughout the stadium and other people whose bodies had faded away reappear . Yugi and Atem split into separate bodies and stand facing each other . After a moment of silence , Yugi nods and Atem presses on the Millennium Puzzle , making it and himself disappear . Mani is revived and is now with Aigami , Sera , and the other children . Joey , Téa , Tristan and Bakura congratulate Yugi , who informs them that he saw Atem . Joey mentions seeing him earlier too and the group is approached by Kaiba , who is interested in the fact that they saw Atem . Kaiba acknowledges Yugi as a competent Duelist and Yugi thanks him for believing in him . Kaiba gives him a smile and parts ways . Aigami wakes up in the Plana realm , where Mani informs him that since the Pharaoh had returned their power was now gone , but comments that it was for the best . During the graduation ceremony , Yugi reads his speech , causing Téa to tear up and Joey and Tristan to cry uncontrollably . In Egypt , Aigami and Sera part ways from Mani , on good terms . At the airport , Téa boards a plane and her friends all see her off . On the KaibaCorp space station , Kaiba is in a pod , on a call with Mokuba , who is warning him that what he is attempting is dangerous . Mokuba says that the item in question has not been fully tested and the safety precautions have not been ensured . Kaiba says not to worry and despite Mokuba begging him otherwise , continues with his plan and says that Mokuba is in charge . He activates the Quantum Cube , which is next to him , causing the space station to be covered in gold light , as he shoots down the elevator shaft that connects the station to Earth . Kaiba appears in a desert , presumably having traveled to the afterlife , and walks to the top of a hill , overlooking a city containing Atem ' s palace . Kaiba advances to the throne room where Atem is sitting , wearing the Millennium Puzzle . Kaiba activates his Duel Disk . Atem stands up , faces him , and confidently smiles . Featured Duels .
