[edit] Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The events of Battle City have just concluded, and Yugi now owns all three Egyptian God Cards. Seto Kaiba longs to finally defeat him, and he has a plan. He suspects that since Maximillion Pegasus created the Egyptian God Cards, he would have also created a way to beat them; just in case.

Kaiba heads off to Pegasus' retirement castle, and challenges him to a duel. If Pegasus wins, he gets Kaiba's Blue-Eyes White Dragons, but if Kaiba wins, Pegasus hands over the card that can beat the Egyptian Gods. Kaiba wins, and Pegasus fulfills his wager, giving two cards to Kaiba. However, Pegasus only created one card, so where did the other one come from?

Meanwhile, Yugi, Téa and Grandpa, seeking refuge from a mob of duelists wanting to face Yugi for the Egyptian Gods, stumble into Domino Museum, where they discover a new attraction on display. It's called the Pyramid of Light, and it looks a little like the Millennium Puzzle. Once Grandpa reads an inscription on the side of a sarcophagus, also part of the exhibit, Yugi has a strange vision about Kaiba. They wake up to find the pyramid stolen, the sarcophagus empty, and Mokuba standing outside. Mokuba says that Kaiba wants Yugi to bring his duel disk to the KaibaCorp Duel Dome immediately.

Yugi does so, transforming into the Pharaoh on the way, and finds Kaiba ready to duel. He seals all the exits, forcing Yugi to duel him, but not before Joey and Tristan find their way in to watch.

The duel goes on for what seems like an eternity, and Yugi is starting to suspect that there are dark forces at work - especially when Kaiba activates a trap card called the Pyramid of Light, which not also bares a striking resemblance to the pyramid in the museum, but also prevents Yugi from summoning any Egyptian Gods. Before long, Kaiba has his Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon on the field, but to Yugi's surprise, he sacrifices it to summon a monster known as the Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon, which is even stronger.

Kaiba could win the duel there and then, but he wants to humiliate Yugi by wiping him out with his own Egyptian Gods! Pyramid of Light removed the gods from play, and he wants to play Return from the Different Dimension to get them under his control. Of course, to do that, he needs to destroy the Pyramid of Light first, otherwise it would just destroy the gods again! Kaiba commands his Shining Dragon to use its "Shining Nova" effect, which allows it to sacrifice itself to destroy anything on the field - and he aims it at the Pyramid of Light. Suddenly, a ghostly voice calls out, "This I cannot allow!", and the Pyramid stays exactly where it is. Then, a man rises up from behind Kaiba, throws him aside, and takes over the duel himself. He has the Pyramid of Light around his neck.

It's Anubis, the Egyptian Lord of the Dead, whom the Pharaoh destroyed 5000 years ago. But now he's back with his secret weapon - Theinen the Great Sphinx. On top of this, Téa, Joey, Tristan and Yugi are trapped inside the Millennium Puzzle, leaving the Pharaoh to duel all alone. Putting all his faith into the cards, Yugi draws the Double Spell card, which allows him to discard his Exchange card to activate Monster Reborn from the graveyard. He uses it to revive Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon and uses it to destroy the Pyramid of Light, after it was weakened by Yugi inside the Millennium Puzzle. With the Pyramid of Light gone, so was the Great Sphinx, and Anubis is seemingly defeated. But, a giant Jackal arises from the remains of the Pyramid.

Kaiba and Yugi join forces, putting all their strength into the Shining Dragon card, and using Shining Nova to destroy Anubis once and for all. On top of it all, Pegasus was back to help them, and gets them out of the explosion in time.

[edit] Characters in the movie

Anubis (アヌビス Anubisu) - In the English version of the movie, Anubis wants revenge on Yami Yugi (Known in the English manga as Dark Yugi) and awakens after Yugi Muto solves the Millennium Puzzle. Pharaoh Atem had defeated Anubis a long time ago, yet Anubis re-appears to face Yugi Muto. Anubis possesses the cards Andro Sphinx and Sphinx Teleia, which can be merged into Theinen the Great Sphinx. In the Japanese version of the movie, Anubis wants revenge by using the King of Light (Kaiba) to defeat the King of Darkness (Dark Yugi) in order to revive Anubis, the King of Destruction and use Kaiba to become the new king and rule the world. Since he has never shown in the anime or seen in the Dawn Of The Duel arc, he is a non-canon character (However, Kazuki Takahashi DID design Anubis, but he did not put him in the manga).
