How did I get into this mess?

I can't believe that Grandpa's actually gone.

One minute he's right beside us, and the next, Pegasus shows up and uses some

kind of weird magic to steal his soul away.

But why?

What could Pegasus possibly want with me?

And could it have something to do with my Millennium Puzzle?

Well, I'll get Grandpa back.

I'll beat Pegasus at his own game.

Whatever that is.

Wonder who this is from.

Hey there, big brother. How have you been? I really miss you.

Serenity? I can't believe it's been six years since we've seen each other. I'll

never forget the day Mom took me to live with her.

Joey!

Serenity, don't go!

Wait!

Joey! I'm sending you this video just so you don't forget your little sister's

face. It seems like I'm running out of time.

I was hoping to see you once more before...

Well, you understand.

Bye -bye, brother.

Run out of time.

It can't be.

So long. Take care, Joey.

Serenity.

Huh? What's this?

It's an invitation to the tournament at Duelist Kingdom.

A tournament at Duelist Kingdom?

Isn't that an island?

So that's where Pegasus is keeping your grandpa.

Maybe. The only way to know for sure is to become a contestant. The boat's going

to be leaving in two days.

But you can't go. It could be dangerous.

I have to go.

It's the only clue I have for rescuing Grandpa.

I still can't believe it. Pegasus used some kind of weird spell to grab your

Grandpa's soul away. And now he's toying with you, forcing you to duel in the

tournament. Right. And without invitations, we can't even go there with

wish we could help you, pal.

This is bad.

Hey, Yugi.

Check this out.

According to this card, the tournament winner takes the grand prize of three

million dollars.

Three mil? So what, Tristan? Who cares about money at a time like this?

Hey, give me that.

Ah, three million.

Guess Joey does.

Three million in cold cash.

Joey, what are you doing up here?

What's with you?

Ah, nothing.

I'm just thinking about a whole lot of stuff.

Yugi, you do know that I care about your gramps, right?

I mean, he taught me about the heart of the gods.

Of course I know.

I mean it. One way or another, I'll help you beat Pegasus.

That really means a lot to me, Joey. I'm glad we're friends. Remember the first

time we met?

I'll never forget it. It was all because of the Millennium Puzzle.

The way Grandpa explained it to me, the puzzle was originally found in some

Egyptian ruins.

My grandpa gave it to me and kind of dared me to solve it. It was the most

incredible thing I'd ever seen.

As soon as I touched it, I knew it was special.

I made a wish on the puzzle. I asked it to give me a real friend.

And I think the puzzle came through for me.

That was when I met up with you and Tristan.

Although you sure didn't act like my friends at first.

You mean when we were playing keep -away with the Millennium Puzzle?

It was for you, man.

We just wanted to toughen you up so you could stand up to the real bullies.

We were only teasing you.

Teasing?

You took a piece of the Millennium Puzzle and threw it out the window.

And I was the one that tried to help you guys out when that bully picked on you.

He was a mean one, all right.

What do we do?

Well,

look what just showed up. It's little Yugi. Just in time to watch me mop the

floor with these guys.

Get back!

Leave them alone!

Who's going to stop me? A little shrimp like you? I don't think so. Get lost.

I won't let you. These guys are my friends.

Okay, tough guy.

You jump to the head of the line.

Say your prayers, you runt.

You stood up for us, Yugi.

I'll never forget that.

Because of you, we got that moron expelled.

And Tristan and I learned what it was like to have a true friend.

Well, at least you retrieved the lost puzzle piece. If you hadn't done that, I

could never have solved the Millennium Puzzle.

I want to apologize, Yugi. I've been acting like a real jerk.

Oh, were you acting?

I guess I deserve that one. If you ask me, I think Tristan and I may have

underestimated you.

Huh? You know, Yugi, you're a tougher kid than I ever gave you credit for.

we should hang out more often. What do you say?

The truth of the matter is, you're the best friend I've ever had. Yeah.

It's too bad you can't go with me to rescue Grandpa.

Don't worry. Somehow, some way, I promise, we'll do it together.

Together?

You bet. We're a team, Yugi.

But how can you go without an invitation?

Hmm.

Attention, all duelists. Welcome to this event sponsored by Industrial Illusion.

You received with your invitation the starships that will grant you entry into

the contest.

You are all elite, invited by us after close observation of your past Duel

Monsters contests. You each have a fair and equal chance to win. It all comes

down to how well you've chosen your cards and how well you play. Now then,

Duelists, cross the ocean and enter the Duelist Kingdom!

Present your star chips as you board the vessel.

Thank you. Next.

Hey, you, get out of here. Only official contestants are allowed on board.

How do you know I'm not official? Because the official duelists aren't

sneak on board through the lower hatches.

Joey? What the?

Stop your struggling. We're going to have to throw you out. No way. I came

to duel, and I'm going to duel.

Leave him alone.

Hey, Yugi.

Joey.

What are you doing here, Joey?

Did you really think I'd let you do this on your own?

Come on, help me out.

All right, Sam, bring it up. They're distracted.

Let's go.

Right.

He's with me. You've got to let him on.

Only people with a starship can get on board. There are no exceptions.

Understand? But Joey has a starship. Didn't he tell you? I do.

See?

What's this?

According to this card, a star chip's proof that one is a duelist. That may

but all participants are given two star chips. You'll be at a disadvantage.

Maybe. But I'd rather take that risk than be without my friend when we get to

the duelist kingdom.

I need him.

Yugi. What do we do?

Mr. Pegasus, we've got a problem, sir.

Don't you shush me, Tristan.

Pipe down.

I'm glad they let you on board, Joey.

Only because you sacrificed one of your star chips for me.

But if any of the other players find out we only have one star chip each, they

could really try to take advantage of us.

Then be quiet about it.

Hmm.

Kind of exciting, isn't it, Yugi? Yeah. Well, what do we have here?

Huh?

Wow. So, you're the Yugi kid everybody's talking about, huh?

Whoa, check it out.

But I'm amazed that a squirt like you could beat Kaiba. You're famous, you

Thanks very much, I think.

Hey, miss, I'm a really good friend of the famous Yugi, the master duelist. In

fact, look.

You're either a champ or a chump. Cut this guy loose. He's fashion challenged

and deserves to be crushed in the games.

Please, crush me.

I'll crush you all eventually.

The name's Mai.

How arrogant!

There's nobody better at playing Duel Monsters than Yugi.

Quiet, they'll hear you.

I don't care. He's still the best.

Hey, is this a joke or what?

This is a luxury cruiser. I know you've got better rooms somewhere.

We cut you a break and now you're causing more trouble? Do you want to get

thrown out of here?

Huh? Hey, aren't you that kid Yugi?

Yeah, and you're Weevil and Wreck the Dino Duelist.

You're wasting your time with those guys. The private rooms only go to

from the last championship, like us.

Congratulations on winning the regionals, Weevil. It was nothing.

Yeah, I went easy on him that time.

Yeah? Well, this time Yugi and I are going to take the tournament. Right,

To tell you the truth, winning the last championship didn't feel like that much

of an achievement.

I guess I can't really call myself a champion until I defeat the duelist who

beat Kaiba.

But I'm sure I'll end up battling you in the big tournament, Yugi. Frankly, I

look forward to it.

I look forward to it, too.

I'm looking forward to some dino demolition.

Let me tell you a little secret. It's something none of the other players know

about the games yet. Oh, isn't that cheating?

The other duelists will find out soon enough. But there are new rules on the

island that require more strategy.

Rules are for wimps. In dueling, you either smash your opponent or get

yourself. It's one or the other.

Strength is good, but you also need to combine them with other types of cards.

Who asked you? Stay out of my way, or I'll stomp you like everyone else. We'll

see who stomps who when we get to the island.

Ignore him. Let's scoop up the competition.

What do you mean?

Check out those jumps.

They're already training over there.

Players here are swapping cards and strengthening their decks, getting ready

the big tournament.

It's also a good chance to get a feel for your opponent's cards.

Oh, I bet this is how Weevil gets so much insight into his opponent's

Whoa, strong cards.

Hey, want to trade? How about you? Anybody?

Help me out here.

Guess Joey's trading.

If you've come all this way and you're still trying to improve your deck,

got to be pretty desperate. I'll catch you on the flip side.

This is truly, truly outrageous.

You expect a lady like me to stay in this dump without even a shower?

Rules are rules, ma 'am. There's nothing I can do. Call your superior.

Get him on the phone right now.

Keep acting up and they'll throw you off the boat. Who do you think you are?

A champion with a luxury room.

Really? Could I see it?

You bet. Come check it out.

Hey, Taylor, stay down or we're busted.

It's freezing out here. I can't sit still.

In another few hours, the sun will rise.

That's not funny, Tristan.

Get down.

Look.

Isn't that Bakura?

Bakura? You mean Bakura from school?

What do you think he's doing here?

Uh, I guess he's in the tournament.

Well, what do you think of my cool digs?

It's beautiful. You must be quite a strong card player.

I am.

Really?

I love Duel Monsters.

How about we play a game?

Who do you think you're talking to? There's no way you could beat me.

Please, let me try.

You'd never win.

Tell you what, if you win, I'll give you a kiss.

Huh?

Yugi, I got some good card trading in. Hey, let me see them.

Salamandra and a kunai with chain.

Baby dragon and shield and sword?

Great!

With these new magic cards combined with your monsters, you'll have a real

strong deck.

All right, so now I'm ready to win every duel I play.

I think you're going to find it's a bit harder than that, Joey. Here, add this

to your deck.

It can be helpful in a tight spot.

Thanks. I'll take it. I can't get over how you're always helping me out. Ah, we

meet again.

Oh, Weevil.

Okay, then. Cut the cards.

Playing with your deck, huh?

This'll be a snap.

Hmm.

What if you win? If I win, you agree to clear out of the room for the rest of

the trip, okay?

Clear out? I'm not gonna lose. You've got a deal.

Hmm.

The first card is Shadow of Eyes.

How'd you do that?

The second card is Harpy's Lady. Then Elegant Egotist.

Followed by Cyber Shield.

Oh, no!

She's right again!

This is my own card technique. I always know what cards I have and can pick

anyone I like at any time.

So, go ahead and deal him, Rex.

Oh, I think I'm in trouble.

Ah, the evening winds sure feel nice.

So, did you trade for any good cards, Yugi?

Nah, I'm going to duel with the cards I brought along with me. I figured as

much. You used the Exodia cards in your duel with Kaiba, right? Those are the

strongest cards of them all.

And really rare.

Could I possibly...

See those legendary cards? I don't see why not. Just be careful with them.

Okay?

Here.

So these are the cards to summon Exodia.

For a long time, I've been trying to come up with some kind of strategy to

finally beat these cards.

But I couldn't come up with anything.

Until just this moment.

Huh? Say goodbye to Exodia!

who can challenge me.

Why, you.

My cards.

Those were the Exodia cards that my grandpa gave me.

I'll get them.

Joey, don't.

Joey, where are you?

I promise you, I'll get them, Yugi.

Joey, they're not worth drowning over.

Don't worry, Yugi.

Look, there. I got one of them.

Joey!

No way! At least this time there's something I can do to help someone I

about.

Current sure is strong, though. It's hard to fight.

But if I punk out now, who's going to help my sister, Serenity?

Just three more now.

Joey!

Joey!

Just three more.

Joey!

Are you okay?

Grab a hold!

Hurry! Taya!

Tristan! Get out, loser!

And thanks for the room, Rex.

That was close. I'm sure glad you two guys showed up. Really glad.

We're a team. We all stick together.

We'll always watch your back.

Thanks a lot, you guys.

I'm sorry, Yugi.

Huh? I failed.

I only found two of your cards.

It's okay, Joey.

It's not okay. It's always this way with me.

I'm never able to help anybody.

Not even my own sister, Serenity.

Serenity? Really? You have a sister, Joey?

Our parents divorced years ago when we were kids.

She lives far away.

With my mother.

My sister's had really bad eyes since she was born.

Eventually she'll go blind.

I'm sorry.

Thanks, Yug. She sent me a message.

I was hoping to see you one last time.

The doctors told her that the time has come. Soon her eyes will be impossible

repair, even with surgery.

But there are specialists who could perform an operation now before it's too

late. They could save her eyesight.

But there's no way I can pay for the operation.

I have to win for her.

Winning in the Duelist Kingdom and getting the prize money is the only way

help Serenity.

We'll both do our best, Joey.

You for your sister and me for my grandpa.

That's right. We'll do this together.

Look, the island.

That's the Duelist Kingdom.

That's it. We're almost there.
