And the Pyramid of Light is never mentioned ever again, nor is Anubis, and all cards seen in the film are never seen again either. It contributes nothing to the anime, and actually creates a huge plot hole (the opening sequence mentions Yugi has been dueling for 3 years, meaning that seasons 3 and 4 in the anime take place at least 2 years apart). It was basically a 90 minute episode of Yugioh.
YUGIOH CROSSOVER MOVIE MOVIE
Picture the cast of The Mummy playing poker, and you'll get an idea of how bad the movie was. Guess he doesn't have a brain! The movie simply combines 2 good elements that mix to form nothing: A card game and an undead evil. But even Kaiba can't figure out something's wrong when Anubis whispers in his ear, and the monster attacks physically hurt the duelist. You'd think that, if the guy runs a multi-national corporation, he'd have a brain. Anyone who has watched the anime knows how annoying Kaiba can be. Nope, it's Kaiba and his obsession to beat Yugi (this guy needs a hobby!) that drives the movie, start to finish. And even the evil sorcerer Anubis can't be the big bad, he only appears for about 10 seconds (egxagerating here). Maximillion Pegasus appears, but he ain't the villain. Then, the monkey wench came in the form of 2 words Seto Kaiba. Now, had the movie focused on the gang's battle against Anubis, then it would have been watchable. To defeat him, Yugi and the gang have to travel into the Millennium Puzzle to defeat him, and battle all sorts of mummies along the way. And guess what? He's got the 8th Millennium Item, the Pyramid of Light (picture a blue version of the Millennium Puzzle) to help him do it. Anubis, an evil sorcerer, awakens from a 5000 year old sleep and, like most villains, goes to destroy the world. Truth be told,the plot sounds good, and the movie had potential.
So as a hard-core fan, even I have to say, this movie sucked. I play the card game, the video games, and watch the anime all the time. An ancient enemy arises and uses the Pharaoh's power against him in some way, they wear powerful stone and use its card counterpart to surround the field and prevent any interference, Yugi is prevented from using the God Cards until the end, after the enemy loses the final duel from a combined attack of 3 Legendary Monsters they take the form of or combine with a great beast to attack Yugi and his friends (Joey even uses some of the same monsters to fight both), the enemy uses Pegasus to manipulate Kaiba when he seeks him out for answers, Pegasus later shows up to provide background information and other answers for Yugi and/or his friends, and Yugi and the Pharaoh are separated for a sizable portion of the story and are only reunited once the enemy suffers some form of defeat and loses what was originally going to be the source of power for their attack on the world. Though elements of the Dawn of the Duel story arc from season 5 of the show are used, the plot of this film greatly mirrors that of season 4.
