After many years under Zorc ' s rule , Monsley Kingdom became known as Monster World . People lived in fear and cursed their lives until a hero came forward , setting out to defeat Zorc . Game . Dark Bakura ( manga ) played the role of Zorc in a game of Monster World against Yugi , Jonouchi , Anzu and Honda , who played the adventurers , using the miniatures ; Yugi , Joey , Anzu and Hiroto . Zorc disguised himself as a human to get close the adventurers and lure them into the forest . He lay on the ground , pretending to have been attacked when they found him . He told the group that he had been attacked by a monster who stole his treasure , which was a holy sword he was to give to the hero to defeat Zorc . He begs the adventurers to help him get it back . Yugi and Anzu are reluctant at first , but they decide to help him . Inside the forest , they ' re confronted by a group of monsters . After the adventurers defeat the monsters , Zorc laughs and changes into his true form . With the player ' s defenses down , Zorc gets the first move . Dark Bakura rolls a 00 , allowing him to trap Anzu in her miniature . Enraged Joey rolls out of turn , getting a 99 , causing him to also get trapped in his miniature . Honda rolls a 94 , causing Hiroto to freeze in fear instead of attacking Zorc . Zorc rolls another 00 , trapping Hiroto in his miniature . Yugi insists that he be sealed in his miniature too , allowing Dark Yugi to take control and roll for the adventurers . Dark Yugi rolls a 03 , allowing Hiroto to shoot off Zorc ' s left hand . Zorc ' s hand mutates into Zorc Arm Dragon and Eyeball . Zorc flies back to his castle , leaving them to fight the adventurers . After the adventurers arrive at his castle , Zorc traps them in a chamber , requiring a certain dice roll to escape . As Dark Yugi struggles to roll a number to save his friends , Zorc strikes the party , lowering their HP . Dark Yugi rolls a number to save his friends , before Zorc strikes the chamber again . Zorc cuts down the tower above the chamber , while the players appear behind him . Joey , Hiroto and Anzu strike Zorc in succession . Yugi then sends the monsters he ' s tamed to attack him again . Despite all the critical rolls , Zorc isn ' t damaged too badly , since he is of a much higher level . Using his Black Magic Dark Catastrophe , Zorc blasts the adventurers , leaving them each at 1 HP . Joey leaps at Zorc and stabs him in the face , taking out one of his eyes . Since Dark Bakura ' s soul is linked to Zorc , with Zorc missing his left hand , Ryo Bakura is able to control Dark Bakura ' s left hand and messes up Dark Bakura ' s next roll . Yugi gets a critical roll and aims his training hand at Zorc . Zorc laughs that it will have no effect on him , but Yugi sends it into the wound , where they cut his hand off and pulls out Ryo Bakura as a level 13 White Mage . Before coming out Ryo lowers Zorc ' s defenses . Hiroto then shoots at Zorc taking out a chunk of his stomach . After being pushed to his limits , Zorc transforms into his final form , in order to use Zorc Inferno to wipe out the heroes . However , with White Mage Bakura forming a barrier , the damage was reduced to the point that they barely survived . This attack left Zorc ' s weak point open , and before it could close , Pokii jumped into it to leave it open . Yugi smashed through it with his magic hand while saving Pokii , causing Zorc tremendous damage and Joey dealt a killing blow by bisecting Zorc at the waist . This left a dying Zorc with only one option : self - destruct and take everyone with him . However , due to Ryo implanting his soul into his dark counterpart ' s dice , it caused them to shatter and Zorc ' s self - destruct command was nullified . Anzu then dealt the final blow that shattered Zorc completely . Statistics . Zorc was a powerful " Monster World " piece , having 500 HP and was at Level 15 . His special attack is called " Zorc Magic : Dark Catastrophe " , a powerful magical explosion which is performed when a Super Critical ( 00 ) is rolled , and can kill any opponents that have 50 HP or less in one strike . Zorc had a number of other abilities . He is able to fly and use his claws to slash through a tower . He can trap players inside their miniatures if his player rolls a Super Critical . Parts of his body that are cut off can evolve into monsters , including Zorc Arm Dragon and Zorc Arm Eyeball . When low on HP , Zorc can transform into a final form , to which he has access to a very powerful attack called " Zorc Inferno " . Although this is powerful , it reveals his weakness : an eye in the middle of the chest to which is also the source of the Zorc Inferno . However , the emission spot closes quickly , which requires the heroes to attack quickly or lose their chance . If at his absolute limit , Zorc can self - destruct , killing the opponents along with himself . Influence . Two cards have been based on this character : " Zorc " and " Dark Master - Zorc " . " Dark Master - Zorc ' s " effect is determined by a die roll , similiar to how dice were used to determine the nature of Zorc ' s moves in Monster World . The card " Contract with the Dark Master " is used to Summon " Dark Master - Zorc " . It depicts Zorc changing from his human disguise to his true form . This character may have been the inspiration for the character Zorc Necrophades from later series , who was also the boss of an RPG played by Dark Yugi and Dark Bakura .
