Duel Monsters: Pyramid of Light (Japanese: 遊戯王デュエルモンスターズ 光のピラミッド, Hepburn: Yūgiō Dyueru Monsutāzu Hikari no Piramiddo, lit.

5,000 years ago, the heroic Pharaoh Atem imprisoned Anubis, the Egyptian lord of the dead, after he tried to destroy the world by persuading the kings to play the mysterious Shadow Games.

In the present day, Anubis' tomb is uncovered by archaeologists, amazed by his strongest and most valuable treasure: the Pyramid of Light.

3 years later, the Battle City Finals have recently concluded,[c] and Yugi has achieved international fame by defeating his arch-rival Seto Kaiba and obtaining the 3 Egyptian God Cards: Slifer the Sky Dragon, Obelisk the Tormentor, and the Winged Dragon of Ra.

Yami Yugi and Kaiba continue their duel, each blow to their in-game Life Points draining away their physical energy.

Compounding matters, Kaiba's Deck Destruction Virus sends more than half of Yami's deck to the Graveyard, leaving him with barely any cards, and attacks from his Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon (his 2nd new card), both with 4500 Attack Points, drop Yami's Life Points to 200. Pegasus figures out what is going on and arrives in a helicopter to rescue Téa, Solomon, and Mokuba.

Yugi finds the Dagger of Fate within Anubis' tomb and uses it to destroy the all-seeing eye, as predicted by the prophecy.

This proves to be his undoing when Yugi and Yami summon Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon to defeat Anubis, ultimately destroying him for good.

Yugi thanks the spirit of Yami, and his 3 best friends for their strong enduring friendship which he claims makes him a true winner.
