The Yu-Gi-Oh! seasons before this one never interested me very much, but this one really got my attention. There is a lot of ancient mythology woven into this storyline and a few preludes to set up the Dawn of the Duel story arc (the second half of Season 5 and the final story arc of this series). For those who just want to see card tournaments in cartoon form, however, this may not be for you. The storyline is much more involved than a few friendly (or not so friendly) card games, and the battles do seem tedious compared with wanting more of the story to be revealed. It seems like people who loved the first three seasons were not as fond of this one, and people who weren't impressed with the first 3 seasons loved this. One of the defining moments of this arc, the first duel with Rafael and his Guardians, will take place on Season 4 volume 2 (the next DVD, due out in Feb. 2006). Personally, this is my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! season of all.

List of episodes on this DVD:

A New Evil (Parts 1 & 2) - Yugi's Egyptian God Cards are stolen by a mysterious group of motorcycle punks. Yugi chases them, only to find a strange old man who uses a sinister card called the Seal of Orichalchos to lock Yugi and himself in a duel to the end. The winner walks free, and the loser becomes a prisoner of the "Great Beast".

Legend of the Dragons - Yugi's dreams lead him to the World of Monsters where the Dark Magician Girl begs for Yugi and the Pharoh's assistance and introduces them to their new friend and the first of the dragons to be awakened: Timaeus.

The Creator Returns - While Yugi and his friends plan a visit to California to meet with Pegasus, Seto Kaiba and Mokuba find out someone is trying to take over their company. Left with little choice, they make plans to confront the threat to their livelyhood.

Deja Duel (Parts 1 & 2) - Seto and Mokuba travel to the Duelist Kingdom to confront Pegasus, or is it Pegasus? During this Duel the second dragon is awakened by Seto: Critias. Meanwhile, Yugi and his friends are en route to meet with Pegasus in San Fransisco.

An Unexpected Enemy - Yugi and friends find themselves stranded next to an abandoned gas station when their driver mysteriously vanishes. As a large motorcycle band threatens them another biker comes to their rescue, and Joey insists that it was Mai Valentine who saved them. When they reach the Industrial Illusions headquarters, however, they are confronted by an angry Mai weilding none other than the Seal of Orichalcos.

Review for this DVD:Good begginning of a great season,this DVD has info,great storyline,and action packed Dueling,all the best for a great Yu-Gi-Oh! DVD.

after a somewhat half/half season (battle city) Yu-Gi-Oh! innovates surprising certainly me and a lot of other people as well.
battle city was reppetitive and becoming more boring with every episode whereas this season stays interesting. i would certainly recommend this dvd and the others to any fan of the first season. if you liked the second one, oh dear, don't buy any dvd's of this season since it is probably wasted on you. new enemies, new cards, and best of all a good story which battle city was lacking is evident in this season

Purchased as a gift for my teenage son who is collecting all Yu GI Oh seasons - great value for the price!

I love Yu-Gi-Oh! I love this new season, I just hope they finish it, they kind of stopped making them. Also this disc includes 7 episodes, which is rare on any anime DVD.

The DVD has a excellent number of episodes in the DVD. It is just as good as I thought it would be.

The KC Grand Champoinship volumes will be!

Volume 1: Unwanted Guests
Volume 2: Down in the Flames
Volume 3: Sinister Secrets

and the Dawn of the Duel saga will be

Volume 4: Tomb of the Unknown Pharoah

and theres will be 10 volumes in all.

While I really really like Yu-Gi-Oh (I'm a girl too!), this season really doesn't interest me. The duels get annoying, especially after seeing the same episodes EVERY SINGLE DAY on WB. I tend to like the American Dub better than the Japanese version, but when comined with the crappy animation, it's a real turn-off.
Mai's new voice actress is the worst match ever...it's so obvious that it's a different person (If they thought the little children wouldn't notice, they totally thought wrong). And if you get annoyed with Weevil's and Rex's voiceovers, you'll hate them even more because they just won't go away!
I totally lost interest in the storyline after a while, and I think that realeasing this season on DVD is the dumbest decision Funimation ever made. I agree with other reviews that say Funimation should have released the KC Grand Prix first, since it's SO much better than Waking the Dragons...
My suggestion is to save yourself from total boredom and not buy this DVD...

I'm 15 but never bother to get a amazon account. Ok, I looked in my latest and greates Shonen Jump Mag. and found a sneak peak of this. It showed the cover which had Timus on it, and the episodes were the first 7 eppy's.
