Yu - Gi - Oh ! - Episode 200 " Spiritual Awakening " , known as " Dark Bakura on the Move " in the Japanese version , is the two - hundredth episode of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " second series anime . It first aired in Japan on April 14 , 2004 and in the United States on October 22 , 2005 . As an homage to the original Japanese series and to celebrate the second series anime ' s two - hundredth episode , the opening theme of the English Dub was temporarily changed to a shortened version of OVERLAP ( already used in the original Japanese from episode 190 onwards ) . OVERLAP was kept for approximately 10 episodes before it was eventually changed back the usual Yu - Gi - Oh ! theme music . Summary . Yugi Muto confronts Bakura Ryou , who scolds him for almost letting Weevil Underwood and Rex Raptor run off with the Egyptian God cards . Yugi checks that they ' re still in the box along with the Millennium Items . Bakura tells him that he ' ll eventually return the Millennium Ring he has taken . This causes Yugi to realize he is talking to Bakura ' s dark personality . Yugi wonders how much Yami Bakura knows about the Millennium Items : Yugi insofar knows that , somewhere in Egypt , within an underground temple , there ' s a " Tablet of the Pharaoh ' s Memories " in which the 7 Millennium Items must be gathered . He questions aloud if Yami Bakura knows what ' ll happen once they ' re gathered . Yami Bakura identifies its location in the village of " Kul Elna " . It ' s a relic , or artifact , which links the living world and the afterlife . When the Items are place there , he states that " the Door of the Realm of the Dead shall open . " He inwardly thinks that his " true goal " lies beyond it . Yugi assumes that its opening shall allow the Pharaoh ' s soul to go back there . Yami Bakura congratulates him and claims he ' ll help him . Suddenly , Yami Yugi comes out and demands to know his intentions . When pressed for an answer , he acknowledges being the same as Yami : a soul sealed in the Millennium Ring for 5 , 000 years . Yami demands of him to reveal his true nature , but Yami Bakura claims having forgotten it as well . It may be that the answer is the Pharaoh ' s World of Memories . He then suggests settling their pending scores in a more suitable arena ; the World of Memories . Yami Yugi questions him more , and Yami Bakura states that if they peel through the layers of enigma surrounding Yami ' s heart , they ' ll reach his " World of Memories " and , then , the " Ultimate Dark Game " will take place . He goes on saying that Yami Yugi " began " it , so that ' s why they must end it . Yami Yugi thinks about it and then accepts the challenge . Yami Bakura looks pleased : he claims that , once the " door of memories " is opened , the Game will begin . He ' s looking forward to it . While walking off , he thinks that he must make some " preparations " to win the " Ultimate Dark Game " . Later , Seto Kaiba is working extra hours in his office when the light goes out and Yami Bakura shows up on the computer ' s monitor . Yami Bakura lifts an unconscious Mokuba off the ground by his neck and then throws him to the ground . Yami Bakura then challenges Seto to a Duel before the monitor shuts off . Kaiba changes into his Battle City clothing and goes out into the roof , where he finds Mokuba ' s unconscious body . He sets him apart and the Duel begins . Yami Bakura displays an intriguing Deck which seems to be themed around the ancient Egypt era ' s rituals . He uses a Monster named " Diabound Kernel " to steal the Burst Stream of Destruction attack of a " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " , which he claims is the only thing which can stand up to the Gods . Seto then experiences a vision similar to the ones he had during the Battle City Finals . When dawn begins to emerge , Yami Bakura announces that he must be going : he hands Kaiba the Millennium Eye and asks him if he wants to learn more about the bond he shares with " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " . He then departs the scene . Yugi is ready to depart but his friends catch up with him again : they won ' t let him go alone . They climb a plane and head towards Egypt .

" Diabound Kernel " then destroys Seto ' s " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " ( Seto 1200 → 900 ) ( NOTE : by destroying Seto ' s " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " , Bakura ' s " Diabound Kernel " is able to gain Blue - Eyes ' s Burst Stream of Destruction Attack , said to rival that of the Gods . Bakura would later transfer that ability to his Diabound and use the attack against the Nameless Pharaoh ' s Mystical Beasts Monsters during the " Ultimate Dark Game " ( " Yami No Game " in Japanese ) ) . Seto then activates " Monster Reborn " to Special Summon one of his " Blue - Eyes White Dragons " ( 3000 / 2500 ) from the Graveyard in Attack Position .
