02x05 - Obelisk the Tormentor

[bunniefuu]

Yami-yugi:
previously on yu-gi-oh...

Who are you

And what do you
want with my
millennium puzzle?

I desire the power
your item contains within.

As for who I am,

Let's just say
that I'm the one

Who shall control
your destiny

As I have
controlled others.

I'm personally inviting
seto kaiba

To this evening's
private exhibition.

Closely examine
this artifact.

After this moment,
your life

Will never
be the same.

That's the pharaoh?
But that's yugi.

On the left
is the sorcerer

Fighting against him.

That's you, kaiba.

Check this out--
the ancient egypt exhibit.

This exhibit's got to help
answer some questions

About your past.

No matter what's beyond
those doors,

I'm ready to face it.

Let's go.

Ok.

♪ Your move, your move,
your move, your move ♪

♪ Your move

♪ Yu-gi-oh!

♪ Your move!

♪ Yu-gi-oh!

It's time

To d-d-d-duel!

♪ Yu-gi-oh!

Man: this is the finest
example of a scarab

That I've ever seen.

It's unbelievable.

Tea, voice-over: this museum's
got to have some clues

To help the spirit
remember his past.

You're sure you
want to go through
with this, right?

I have no choice, tea.

It's my destiny. Hmm.

You ok?

I sense
something in here.

In the basement?

Hmm. Ohh.

Is this a part
of the exhibit?

Ohh.

Something down there
is calling out to me, tea.

I feel that
the answers I seek

Are near.

Check it out. Ohh.

Hmm.

It's some kind of
ancient egyptian stone.

And those carvings

Resemble
duel monster cards.

Hmm.

No way!

That guy
looks just like you.

Is this thing
for real?

It's freaking me out!

Yes, tea. It isreal.

Somehow I know it is.

And look--
around his neck.

Oh, it's
the millennium puzzle!

That's right.

That appears to be me

Playing an ancient form
of duel monsters.

Whoa.

This is exactly
the kind of clue

I've been searching for.

But I wish I were able
to decipher its meaning.

Who am I dueling against
in this carving?

What was this
age-old game all about?

Was it even a game?

Hmm. Just when I think
I've found one answer,

A thousand
new questions arise.

Woman: yami, my pharaoh,

I've been expecting you.

Huh?

Ohh.

Who are you?

I am ishizu,

And I have uncovered
many mysteries

About you
and these ancient carvings

Using the magic

Of my millennium necklace.

Another
millennium item.

Like your millennium puzzle,

This necklace affords me
certain powers.

With it, I have gazed
, years into the past

To a time
when evil sorcerers

Threatened to destroy
the entire world.

[Gasps]

However,
there was one king

Who possessed a magic
powerful enough

To stop this evil threat.

And who was this king?

The pharaoh
who saved the world
was you, yami.

And now
the time has come

For you to rescue mankind
once again.

To rescue mankind
from what?

How do you know
the world is in danger

Of being
destroyed again?

My millennium necklace
also shows me

Visions of the future.

Oh, my pharaoh.

The events of the past
will occur once again,

And that same great evil

Will return to thr*aten us.

How will I
recognize this evil?

I know that your memory
has faded, my pharaoh,

And that you seek
many answers.

[Gasps]

I also know a duel monsters
tournament is beginning.

If you win it, you will find
your answers.

When you return home,

You'll discover
an invitation

Waiting for you.

Farewell, king yami.

Y-yami?

So that's your name.

Hmm.

Wow, you were
this powerful egyptian king

Who saved the world
, years ago.

That's pretty major.

Yes. But I still
have so many questions.

Wait! My opponent
looks like kaiba.

You're right.

But wait.
That would mean

That he was
the ancient evil sorcerer.

Yugi, voice-over: could it be
that I'm supposed to face kaiba

In order
to save the world again?

Well, there's only one way
to find out.

I've got to win that tournament!

[Siren]

Man: all hands standby
for the final test

Of the new
duel disc system.

Hmm.

As you requested,
mr. Kaiba,

We've removed all safeguards
from the computer.

You're crazy if you
go through with this, seto.

If the safeguards
are turned off,

The monsters in this duel
could really hurt you.

Enough whining.

Let's go.

Kaiba, voice-over: I invented
this new duel disc system,

And I'll be the one to test it.

I have to make sure
the kaibacorp satellite
tracking system

Is working perfectly.

It traces
all kaibacorp duel discs,

Allowing me to keep an eye

On every duel in the tournament,

And I can't afford
any screwups.

But more importantly,
I want to test the power

Of my new egyptian god card.

If I'm going to use it
to destroy yugi

And reclaim my rightful title

As number-one duelist
in the entire world,

I need to make absolutely sure

It's as powerful
as ishizu claims.

She may have bored me

With her hocus-pocus nonsense
about the past,

But she wasright
about one thing.

Yugi and I
will face each other again,

And this time,

With a deck full of rare cards,

I will be victorious.

The duel disc
is online.

Engaging duel robot.

Hmm.

Man: we've updated
the duel robot's hard drive

With your latest
tournament rules.

Ha.

I'm setting
skill level at max.

We're ready to begin
on your command.

Seto, are you sure you want
to go through with this?

Man: keep the medics
on standby.

Probability
of injury-- %.

Ahh.

Listen!
Why don't you keep

Your calculations
to yourself?!

I'm just doing my job.

Since the robot is armed
with the exact same deck

Mr. Kaiba used
at duelist kingdom,

Risk of injury is high.

Ahh, you put all
blue-eyes white dragons

In the duel robot's
deck?

Yes. Those were
mr. Kaiba's direct orders.

Mokuba, voice-over:
seto's in major trouble
if he gets att*cked

By a blue-eyes.

I hope he knows
what he's doing.

[Whirrs]

Hmm.

Ishizu: beware, kaiba.

Obelisk may be too powerful
for you to control.

Kaiba, voice-over:
powerful, huh?

Well, there's no way I'll know

How strong
an egyptian god card is

Until I see it
with my own two eyes.

And the best test
of obelisk the tormentor's
strength

Is against the might of not one,

But
of the most powerful dragons

In all of duel monsters.

Kaiba, aloud:
on one may seem unfair,

But if egyptian god cards are
as powerful as ishizu claims,

Obelisk should destroy them.

Hmm. Let's go.

Switching on
the main computer's
auto-duel system.

Check.

Duel robot
standing by.

Engage.

Good luck.

Launching
hologram projectors.

Kaiba: with my new
portable projectors,

There's no need
for oversized dueling arenas.

It's time to duel.

Duel robot: draw card.

Accessing duel database
for optimal battle.

Set monster card
in defense mode.

I'll play this card facedown.

Hmm. Next, I summon
the mighty battle ox.

Destroy his monster,

Axe slam attack!

Oh, no! Cyber jar!

Monster: cyber jar.

Special effect one--

Destroy all monsters
on field.

Cyber jar
special effect --

Each player summons
up to monsters onto field.

Uhh.

Set monsters
onto field.

I place monsters
on the field!

What a digital dummy.

The robot gave seto
a huge lead.

Analyzing
new tournament rules.

Must sacrifice monsters

To summon
blue-eyes white dragon.

What?!

[Roars]

Now I'm in trouble.

Mokuba: turn off
the machine before
he gets hurt!

[Roars]

The duel robot already mastered

My new sacrifice rule

To summon
the blue-eyes white dragon.

If it att*cks now,

It's all over!

Opponent
has card facedown.

End turn.

Kaiba, voice-over:
the duel robot didn't attack

Because it thinks
my facedown card is a trap

Intended to destroy
the blue-eyes white dragon.

A big mistake.

I sacrifice a monster

To summon dragon seeker!

In defense mode.

[Growls]

Kaiba, voice-over:
dragon seeker's special effect

Allows it to destroy
one dragon instantly

When it switches
from defense to attack mode.

On my next turn,
that blue-eyes is history.

Analyzing dragon seeker.

Processing
countermeasures.

Set one card facedown
on field.

Summon lord of dragon
in attack mode.

What?!

Lord of dragon
special effect--

Protects dragons

From all magic, trap,
and monster cards.

Dragon seeker's effect
negated.

Hmm. If I can't destroy
the blue-eyes white dragon,

At least I can protect myself.

I switch all my monsters
to defense mode.

You can't lose, seto.

Do something!

Uhh.

Processing
battle strategy.

Playing magic card

"Flute of summoning dragon."

Uhh!

[Growls]

[Blows horn]

Magic effect--

Summons dragons
from hand onto field.

Selecting dragons.
Processing.

Summon
blue-eyes white dragons.

There's no way!

Seto!

Kaiba, voice-over:
blue-eyes.

Playing magic card
"polymerization."

Fuse blue-eyes

Into blue-eyes
ultimate dragon.

No! Uhh!

Analyzing
tournament rulebook.

Fusion monster
cannot attack

On same turn
it was created.

Must end turn.

[Roars]

Hmm. Hmm. Just great.

Uhh! Seto!

Kaiba's doomed.

None of his monsters
come remotely close

To the dragon's
attack strength.

The damage from
ultimate dragon's attack

Will be
catastrophic.

What?!

With the safeties
disabled,

Its neutron blast

Will disintegrate
mr. Kaiba into dust!

Get out of there, seto!

Shut down the duel!

Mokuba: seto!

Kaiba, voice-over: so this
is what it's like to face fear.

This must be how yugi felt
when he stared

Into the eyes
of my blue-eyes ultimate dragon

At duelist kingdom.

He came close to bringing
my powerful beast

To its doom,

But in the end, even yugi

Couldn't defeat
the blue-eyes ultimate dragon.

So if I'm to reclaim my title

As the greatest duelist
in history,

I must beat the monster

That even yugi couldn't defeat.

Prepare to face the end.

It's time for my final test.

Now I'll see what
an egyptian god card can do.

Uhh!

Obelisk the tormentor,

I summon you by sacrificing
of my monsters.

[Growling]

[Growls]

Uhh ha!
No way!

That egyptian god card
is humongous!

Kaiba: obelisk the tormentor,

Let's see how powerful
you really are.

Now I offer you
my remaining monsters.

Absorb their power
to increase your own.

Man: I've never seen
anything like this!

Obelisk's
attack points are
climbing off the charts!

Uhh!

Obelisk, attack now.

Show blue-eyes ultimate dragon

Why you're known
as the tormentor.

Obelisk, fist of fate!

System error.
System error.

Power overload.
Danger. Danger.

Aah! The computer's
exploding!

Ohh!
Uhh!

Shut down the power source
right away!

Obelisk the tormentor--

He defeated ultimate dragon
with a single punch.

Incredible.

If this is the power
of one card,

With all egyptian god cards,

I will be unstoppable.

I will defeat yugi

And reclaim my title
as the number-one duelist.

[Cackling]

Tea: the invitation
said the tournament

Would be announced
tonight.

Ishizu was right.

I don't know
if everything
she said is true,

But I do know this.

I must enter and win
this tournament

In order to fulfill
my destiny.

Hmm.

Just promise me
you'll be careful, yami,

'Cause I'm sure
there's still danger ahead.

Yes. Whoever is after
the millennium puzzle

Is still out there.

But you must
trust me, tea.

This deck has never
let me down before.

As long as yugi and I
stay connected
to one another,

I'm confident
we can use this deck

To win
this tournament,

Unlock the mysteries
of my ancient past,

And realize
our destiny.

Ahh.

Hmm. And you can count
on my help.

[Man cackling]

Man: I hear they
put together the best
of the best

For this one.

Yeah. It's going
to be great.

Hey! What's the matter?

Is everything ok?

Mmm. Yes, tea.
It was nothing.

Woman: hey, yugi!
There you are!

It's mai valentine.

Oh, joy.

I know you guys missed me.

It's such a shame
we don't hang out
more often.

Yes, it is,
isn't it?

You're looking
snazzy, tea.

Is this a date?

We're just friends, mai.

Uh-huh.

I assume you've come here
for the tournament.

But of course.

I presume you got
an invitation also.

Yes, I did, but it didn't
say who it was from.

Do you know who's hosting
this tournament?

I have no idea.

It's a mystery.

Nobody seems to know.

Everyone I spoke to
got an anonymous
invitation.

But there is a buzz
going around

That it's someone
with a ton of cash

And an obnoxious
attitude.

I'd guess kaiba.

Uhh! That must be why
ishizu told me to enter.

If the events of the past
are to happen again,

I must face kaiba
in this tournament.

Hmm...

What are you
mumbling about?

Anyway, nobody
knows for sure

Who it is that's
throwing this thing.

I suppose
we'll find out soon.

It's pretty safe
to say

It's not pegasus again.

Speaking of pegasus,
this is beginning to look

Like duelist kingdom
all over again.

You can
say that again.

There certainly
are a lot
of familiar faces

In this crowd.

Mmm.

Most of whom I'm not
too happy to see.

Ahh! Uhh!
You're right.

That's weevil underwood
and rex raptor.

And over there's
espa roba.

They say he
uses psychic powers
to duel.

And mako's here,
too!

If what mai said earlier
is correct,

Then thistournament
is going to have
one newwrinkle.

And there he is now.

Kaiba!

Kaiba: greeting, duelists.

Welcome to the town of domino.

But more importantly,

Welcome to mytournament.

I don't know
which is bigger--

His ego or his melon
on the big screen.

Let's hear what kaiba
has to say.

I see you each received
your private invite

To kaibacorp's very exclusive

Duel monsters tournament,

And you had enough brains
to show up here tonight.

[Yelling]

Being that you are all
elite duelists,

I've added special rules
to my tournament,

Just for experts.

For example, you will duel

Using these new improved
duel discs.

Check thatout!

Man: kaibacorp's got
the coolest products!

Another new rule that I designed
for the tournament

Is that before each duel,

Both players must ante up
their rarest card,

And the loser of the duel
forfeits his card

To the winner.

Forfeit
my dark magician?!

That means losing
even one duel

Can ruin my deck.

My competition will make pegasus

And his duelist
kingdom tournament

Look like a joke.

Man: awesome! Yeah!

[Helicopter approaching]

Huh?
Huh?
Huh?

Mmm.

Hmph! Kaiba!

Kaiba, voice-over:
hmm. I knew you'd come, yugi.

We'll see which one of us
is the number-one duelist.

Hmm.

Don't forget to register

And pick up your duel disc

Because exactly one week
from today,

My battle city tournament
begins!

You're on, kaiba!

Hmm.

Marik: battle city, eh?

That is correct, master.

The world's
most elite duelists

Have assembled
for this tournament.

[Cackles]

How very convenient for us

That so many of our targets

Have gathered together
in one place.

Now, my rare hunters,

Go to the town of domino
at once!

All: yes, sir.

It's time to begin the hunt!

[Music]
