Dark Bakura and Dark Marik ' s Duel ( manga ) Dark Bakura and Dark Marik faced each other in a Shadow Game of " Duel Monsters " in the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " manga . Events . Prior . A portion of Marik Ishtar ' s consciousness remained in the bodies of Ryo Bakura and Anzu Mazaki from when he had brainwashed them . Through Anzu , he learned from Ishizu Ishtar that Dark Marik had been the one killed his father . Marik then made a deal with Dark Bakura ; Dark Bakura could take the Millennium Rod and see the Seal of Memories , if he helped him protect Rishid and kill Dark Marik . To improve their chances , Marik told Dark Bakura about his Deck , which he understood Dark Marik would be using . The night after the quarterfinals of the Battle City tournament , Dark Marik proceeded to Rishid ' s room on the Battle Ship , with the intention of killing him , while he lay unconscious . However , he was interrupted by Dark Bakura and Marik . Marik refused to let Dark Marik kill Rishid and while Dark Bakura had no interest in Rishid ' s life , stated his intentions to take the Millennium Rod . Dark Marik was unwilling to hand over the Millennium Rod and used its powers to pin Dark Bakura to the wall . He resumed his plan to murder Rishid , with the unsheathed Millennium Rod , but Dark Bakura was able to use the Millennium Ring to free himself and prevent Dark Marik from moving his hand , which held the rod . The two agreed to a Shadow Game and made their way to the Aerial Dueling Platform . Dark Marik stipulated that the loser of the game would disappear . Since Dark Bakura was absent for Dark Marik ' s Duel with Mai Kujaku , Dark Marik was satisfied that he would not know the abilities of the " The Sun Dragon Ra " . He suspected Marik may have told Dark Bakura about his Deck , but was not worried , since he had changed its contents , after taking control of Marik ' s body . He was also confident that he knew Dark Bakura ' s strategy , having seen him Duel Dark Yugi . Marik announced that he was aware Dark Marik had killed their father . Dark Marik shamelessly admitted it , but reminded Marik that he was not without blame . Marik agreed and in reflection of the tragedy , commented on how Shadi had made him think the pharaoh was responsible for the death . Dark Bakura was surprised that Shadi could have been alive five years ago , since he killed him earlier . As atonement for his part in his father ' s death , Marik vowed to kill Dark Marik . Marik got ready to issue Dark Bakura with their tactics , but Dark Bakura was unwilling to follow his charge . He reminded Marik of the agreement and stated his wishes to burn Dark Marik ' s body after the Duel , which Marik had no problem with . Dark Marik initiated the Shadow Game , causing dark mist to surround the arena and reminded Dark Bakura that the loser ' s body and soul would be consumed by darkness . Duel . Turn 1 : Dark Bakura Dark Bakura Set " Fearful Earthbound " , pleased to have gotten such a powerful Trap Card on his first turn . He then Summoned " Goblin Zombie " . Turn 2 : Dark Marik Dark Marik Set " Remove Trap " and Summoned " Drillago " . " Drillago " attack ed " Goblin Zombie " , but Dark Bakura activated " Fearful Earthbound " . A monster appeared on the field , with its mouth , surrounding Dark Marik . Dark Bakura explained that he had used a weak monster as bait , to allow him to use the trap . He had no problem allowing the monster to be destroyed , since his Deck was structured to benefit from monsters being sent to his Graveyard . " Drillago " proceeded to destroy " Goblin Zombie " ( Dark Bakura : 4000 → 3500 Life Points ) , but as " Fearful Earthbound " was about to snap on Dark Marik , Dark Marik activated " Remove Trap " to erase it . Dark Marik directed Dark Bakura ' s attention to his body , where a chunk of his arm had disappeared , since he lost Life Points . Dark Bakura laughed and remarked that this was an interesting game . Turn 3 : Dark Bakura Dark Marik advised Dark Bakura to be careful what card he chose , since he knew what kind of cards he had . " Dark Necrofear " and " Destiny Board " were both in Dark Bakura ' s hand . He figured they would not be much use , since Dark Marik had seen him use them before , and opted to use another strategy he should be unaware of . He thought about how Dark Marik would need three Sacrifices to Summon his God card , " The Sun Dragon Ra " . Marik advised him not to fear God and privately informed him of a way to seal God ; " Ra " gains its power via Sacrifice Summon , so if it were to be discard ed , it would not be able to acquire this power and since Spell Card s can only affect it for one turn , a revival from " Monster Reborn " would only be temporary . Dark Bakura was pleased , since making players discard would also allow him to use the full power of his Deck . Dark Bakura Set " Dark Designator " and " Multiple Destruction " and Summoned " Gelnia " in Defense Mode . Turn 4 : Dark Marik With " Ra " , not in his hand , Dark Marik activated " Card of Sanctity " , causing both players to draw more cards , but still did not have " Ra " afterwards . Dark Barkura laughed and asked if Dark Marik was that desperate to have his God card . He said he would fulfill that desire , as he activated " Dark Designator " , making Dark Marik add " Ra " to his hand . He then activated " Multiple Destruction " , making both players discard their hands and draw five new cards . Dark Bakura also took damage from the effect of " Multiple Destruction " ( Dark Bakura : 3500 → 2900 ) , but felt it was worth it to seal " Ra " and optimize his Deck ' s abilities by having more cards in the Graveyard . Turn 5 : Dark Bakura Dark Bakura Set a card and Sacrificed " Gelnia " to Summon " Puppet Master " , whose effect let him Summon three monsters from the Graveyard ; " Headless Knight " , " Dark Necrofear " and " Gelnia " , at the cost of 1000 Life Points ( Dark Bakura : 2900 → 1900 Life Points ) . With his own Life Points untouched , Dark Marik pointed out that this was harming Dark Bakura more than him . Dark Bakura replied that his monsters could not attack this turn , but when they do next turn , Dark Marik should have no Life Points left . Turn 6 : Dark Marik Dark Marik drew a card and laughed . When asked what was so funny , he replied " One Turn Kill " and declared that Bakura would die this turn . He then said that he would let Dark Bakura see the second ability of " Ra " , something Marik did not even know about . Dark Marik activated " Monster Reborn " , reviving " The Sun Dragon Ra " , to Marik ' s surprise , since it had 0 ATK and DEF , due to the lack of Sacrifices and was to disappear at the end of the turn , since Spell Cards only had a temporary effect . Dark Marik explained that Marik did not know the true abilities of Ra , since the Millennium Rod had not imparted that information to him . After conducting the incantation , Dark Marik ' s body began to disappear , as he paid all of his Life Points bar 1 to increase the ATK and DEF of " Ra " , by the same amount ( Dark Marik : 4000 → 1 Life Points , " Ra " : 0 → 3999 ATK , 0 → 3999 DEF ) . The portion of Dark Marik ' s body that disappeared , reappeared , fused with " Ra " . " Ra " attacked with " God Blaze Cannon " , destroying all of Dark Bakura ' s monsters and taking out his remaining Life Points ( Dark Bakura : 1900 → 0 Life Points ) . Aftermath . Since Dark Bakura lost the Shadow Game , his body was to be consumed by the darkness . The portion of Marik ' s consciousness that existed in Bakura ' s body also disappeared . Before vanishing completely , Dark Bakura warned Dark Marik that he would revive and kill him and explained that he had originally came from the darkness . Dark Marik picked up the Millennium Ring , which Dark Bakura had left behind and said that defeating darkness was interesting . With a portion of his consciousness still existing in Anzu , Marik possessed her and approached Ishizu , to enlist her help in hiding Rishid ' s body from Dark Marik . Cards used . The following cards appeared in this Duel .
