Previously, on Yu-Gi-Oh!: Yugi and the Pharoah had a heart-to-heart, and the God Cards were stolen. Fortunately (or is it?) Bakura was there to catch the thief.
(Dark alleyway)
Graverobber: Go ahead, take my eye, I don't mind.
Yugi: Wait a minute, wasn't that in Pegasus' head? So to get it you'd have to--ick.
Graverobber: There are seven Millenium Items which you must collect to reawaken the Pharoah's memories. Six will not suffice, and there is no eighth Millenium Item. Really. The one in the movie was a fake. Collect all the others, and I'll give you the Millenium Ring free. (Some restrictions may apply, offer not good in Vermont.)
Yugi: So, all I have to do is insert the seven items into the Tablet of the Pharoah's Memories?
Tombrobber: Well, after that, we have to play a game of Operation, but right after that you can enter the afterlife to get the Pharoah's memory. And I will gain the evil power to take over the world, but that's just a minor sideeffect.
Yugi: The afterlife won't hurt or anything, right?
Tombrobber: I'll make a Spider-Man reference to avoid that question, and toss you the eye.
Yugi: Wait, is that a bit of vitreous humor still on this thing? And aren't you a bad guy?
Tombrobber: I'm tired of being locked in this stupid ring, only able to interact with the world through the body of a teenager of ambiguous sexuality. I just want to go to the afterlife. (And steal everything that isn't nailed down.)
Yugi: Even though I suspect Evil Bakura is up to no good, I'll play along so that I can collect the items I need. Of course, I have no idea how to get hold of Shadi and his items. I hope he shows up soon, because he's kind of cool.
Tombrobber: Don't forget to wake up in a couple of hours so you can take that field trip to the museum. I'll be lurking nearby.
(Morning, Domino High School)
Jonouchi: Hi, Yugi, you look tired. By the way, I used the money left over from my sister's operation to get my VCR fixed. So, I'll need back that porn video I loaned you way back in Chapter 2 of the first part of the series.
Yugi: No such luck. My grandfather found it, and refuses to let it out of his room. I think he's--
Anzu: Hi! I just thought I'd eavesdrop on this guy stuff conversation!
Jonouchi: Yee. I am really worried that Anzu might actually like porn.
Honda: I exist!
Bakura: As do I.
Jonouchi: You look kinda wasted, Bakura. On the internet all night again?
Bakura: No, I just had another one of those blackouts where I wake up with my arms covered in gore up to my elbows. It takes forever to get all the stains out.
Anzu: I don't want to think about that. Let's talk about cards!
Honda: Isn't the whole notion of God Cards kind of blasphemous? And why would the museum have any information on a game that's less than ten years old?
Anzu: Apparently, I'm the only one who's seen the Ancient Egyptian tablet with the picture that looks just like Yugi. But I'm worried that if the Pharoah gets his memories and goes back where he came from, I'll never get laid.
Pharoah: Just popping in to say that I won't let my old memories erase my new ones.
Jonouchi: Group hug! Then off to the museum!
Anzu: While I fully sympathize with your desire to skip class, we can't go until after school is over.
(Domino City Museum)
Jonouchi: I can't believe how many volumes it's taken to get here.
Mysterious Voice: Yugi Mutou? I am here to eat, er, greet you.
Jonouchi: Is this yet another crazy villain we must overcome?
Bobasa: Don't be silly. As you can see, I don't have long silver hair. Instead, I have holes carved in my grotesquely obese torso.
Yugi: Please Osiris no.
