Yu - Gi - Oh ! - Duel 053 " Millennium Enemy 4 : Role - Playing Miniatures " is the fifty third chapter of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " manga . This chapter was originally printed in the " Weekly Shōnen Jump " magazine in Japanese . Its first English release was in the " Shonen Jump " magazine . It has been reprinted in volume 7 of the tankōbon and volume 4 of the bunkoban . Summary . Anzu has just fallen unconscious while playing " Monster World " . Yugi , Jonouchi and Honda rush to check on her , while Dark Bakura laughs silently to himself . Yugi suspects something and shouts at Dark Bakura , asking what he did to Anzu . Dark Bakura innocently says that he ' s the Game Master and just followed the rules to keep the game going . However he adds that the game they are playing right now is the ultimate role - playing game . Yugi , Jonouchi and Honda look at him in shock and wonder what this means . Dark Bakura reminds them that he said in role - playing games you have to become the characters and elaborates that you transcend reality to become the people of an imaginary world and live the adventure that unfolds . Not seeing the relevance , Jonouchi reminds him that they are asking what he did to Anzu . Dark Bakura tells them to worry as Anzu is alive , but in " Monster World " . On the game board , Anzu has just awoken embodied in her miniature . She looks around and wonders what ' s going on . She spots the others and asks why they are so big . She then looks at herself and realizes that she has been turned into a miniature . Yugi hears Anzu ' s miniature screaming and realizes that he wasn ' t hearing things when he thought he heard a miniature speak earlier . Jonouchi says that it screamed in Anzu ' s voice . Anzu asks her friends to help and they then also realize that she has become a miniature . Dark Bakura explains that like he said , a player ' s fate is determined by the roll of the dice ; If the Dark Master Zorc rolls a super critical 00 or a player rolls a fumble 99 , the player ' s soul is sealed in a figurine by the power of darkness and the only way to retrieve the soul is to defeat Dark Master Zorc . Jonouchi gets angry and rolls the dice vowing to defeat Zorc . However he rolls a 99 . Dark Bakura points out that aside from getting the worst possible roll , it wasn ' t even Jonouchi ' s turn . He says that rolling the dice without the master ' s permission is breaking the rules of the game and seals Jonouchi in his miniature . Yugi gets angry , but Dark Bakura advises him to think before he acts because if he and Honda also become miniatures there won ' t be anyone left on their side to roll the dice . This would mean that they automatically lose and the four of them would be trapped in this world until the next time he uses them in a game . Anzu and Jonouchi say that they have no choice but to fight and ask Yugi to roll in their place . The game continues and its Honda ' s turn . Dark Bakura warns him that he might become frozen in fear by Zorc ' s powerful aura . Dark Bakura checks Honda ' s character ' s courage score and calculates that Honda must roll less than 70 to conquer his fear and go first . However if he rolls higher , Zorc will make the first attack . Honda rolls a 94 and calls it stupid because he isn ' t really afraid of Zorc . Dark Bakura laughs and says that there is no " you " , only " your character " . He narrates that the magic gunman is frozen in fear and curses his cowardice . Zorc takes the initiative and Dark Bakura rolls a super critical 00 . Yugi is shocked to see Dark Bakura roll two super criticals in a row and accuses him of doing something to the dice . Dark Bakura simply replies that the dice don ' t lie and Honda is then sealed in his miniature . Honda curses what happened and again insists that he wasn ' t afraid . With Anzu , Jonouchi and Honda all sealed in miniatures , Dark Bakura tells Yugi that he is the only one left and must roll the dice and move all the pieces by himself . He also explains that if a character ' s hit points reach 0 they will die and not just in the game , but in the real world . Yugi ' s friends tell him he can do it and beat Zorc . The battle continues and Honda ' s gunman has a chance to attack Zorc . Dark Bakura tells Yugi to go ahead and throw the dice . However Yugi insists that before that , his soul is to also be transferred to his miniature . The others are surprised , but Yugi insists that he wants to fight together with his friends on the board and if they are putting their lives the line , he should do the same . Bakura says that he could grant that wish , but asks who would then throw Yugi ' s dice . Yugi silently thinks " the other me " . Since the Game Master is supposed to be of service to the players , Dark Bakura agrees to do it and has Yugi ' s soul sealed in his miniature . Dark Bakura starts to celebrate his victory but then sees Dark Yugi sitting in Yugi ' s place . Bakura is astonished , but Dark Yugi proceeds to take Yugi ' s roll and gets a 03 . This is a high roll and Honda uses his " Thunder Grenade " attack , shooting off Zorc ' s left hand . Honda blows the smoke from his gun and reminds Zorc that he told him so ; with his friends helping , who would be afraid . Dark Yugi tells his friends not to worry ; their lives are in his hands and starting now , so is Zorc ' s . Anime adaptions . First series . Part of episode 25 : " " of the " Yu - Gi - Oh !
