Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThough elements of the Dawn of the Duel story arc from season 5 of the show are used, the plot of this film greatly mirrors that of season 4. An ancient enemy arises and uses the Pharaoh's power against him in some way, they wear powerful stone and use its card counterpart to surround the field and prevent any interference, Yugi is prevented from using the God Cards until the end, after the enemy loses the final duel from a combined attack of 3 Legendary Monsters they take the form of or combine with a great beast to attack Yugi and his friends (Joey even uses some of the same monsters to fight both), the enemy uses Pegasus to manipulate Kaiba when he seeks him out for answers, Pegasus later shows up to provide background information and other answers for Yugi and/or his friends, and Yugi and the Pharaoh are separated for a sizable portion of the story and are only reunited once the enemy suffers some form of defeat and loses what was originally going to be the source of power for their attack on the world.
- GoofsWhen Yugi uses Kaiba's "Return from the Different Dimension", he mentions how Kaiba wanted 'a perfect victory', but Kaiba never said that - he only thought it.
- Quotes
Joseph "Joey" Wheeler: [after being the mob kid in a match] Maybe now you'll have the proper respect for Joey, the Godfather of Games!
Yugi Moto: [Comes out from hiding] Is the coast clear yet, Joey?
Skinny Mob Guy: Hey, it's Yugi! He's back!
[Leads the mob to chase after Yugi, runs over Joey and Tristan in the process]
Tristan Taylor: [Dazed] Yeah, they respect ya.
Joseph "Joey" Wheeler: [Also dazed] I coulda been a contender.
- Alternate versionsFor the theatrical and TV version aired in Japan, all the cards were translated into Japanese, using the Japanese sound effects, Japanese character names, Japanese soundtrack and adding twelve minutes of footage.

First, the damn thing polarizes audiences. The only people who will WANT to see it are young kids and deluded anime fans. Good movies appeal to a broad range of people. Good movies will continued to be celebrated among future generations.
Secondly, I don't care about your nostalgic memories of the Transformers movie. I remember the Yogi-Bear movie from when I was a tot, but that doesn't make it a good movie. I will never forget Manos, and it will never be good.
Yu-Gi-Oh is just a marketing tool to exploit kids that are into the fad, and the various overgrown anime fans. The kids will grow out of this and forget about it, while the anime fans of low taste will never let it go because it is a masterful work of DRAMA and CREATIVITY! (I.E. Better than anything they could come up with, which isn't much)
