Episode 96: Showdown in the Shadows (1)

While the gnag sleeps, Marik and Bakura decide to face off with their Millennium Items, only to find themselves equal in power. Meanwhile, Kaiba finds he can read the Egyptian text on The Winged Dragon of Ra's card without having seen it before. While he works that out, Marik and Bakura decide to Duel for the ownership of the Millennium Rod. Bakura decides to have Marik's good side accompany him with the deal of giving the Millennium Rod if they beat their opponent. However, Marik is able to not only take out Bakura's monster but get rid of Bakura's Trap Card before its effects can take hold. However, this luck is short-lived as Marik struggles to draw The Winged Dragon of Ra to finish them in a single turn, even with Bakura's help. Bakura on the other hand has better luck and gets enough monsters to Trinute Summon Ra and leave Marik's dark half potenitally on the verge of defeat.
