This shows the second half of Ishizu v. Kaiba. Kaiba wins. Then an episode where Ishizu tells Yugi & Co. about how Marik was once an innocent child. Flashback to Ishizu and Marik sneaking out and walking around the Egyptian market place, and Marik wanting a motorcycle. Then they go back home, see Odion being weakened by the Millenium Rod (in Japan, he was being whipped), Marik goes Yami and banishes his father to the Shadow Realm (in Japan, Marik stabs him to death). Then the two-part duel, Y.Marik v. Y.Bakura, with regular Marik by his side. Awww, Marik and Bakura make a great team, heh heh. If you like YGO and don't mind the whole killing-the-father thing the dubbers left out, then you should get this...

On this dvd you will see kaiba fighting ishizu.

A battle with destiny.

Can kaiba take off ishizou even that she can predict the future?

You will also find the true story of marik and the reason why he wanted te revenge the pharaoh.

The best duel of this dvd is evil marik vs evil bakura and marik.

Bakura takes the egyptian god card from evil marik, but the question is if bakura can control the true power of the winged dragon of ra and what about if ra has got more than one special abilities.

You will find out if you buy this dvd.

I am a HUGE fan of Yu-Gi-Oh, as you see. I don't like the dub, but...

My two favorite characters of the show are on the cover, so this is the only dubbed DVD I bought. As most people complain, the dub likes to mix and change things, as well as added melodrama. I prefer to watch it on mute, but even with the subs, it's obvious how hacked it is.

The final episode of this set is the best looking onewith all the cast drawn with nice heads, accurate facial expressions, and overall animation. The first, looking the worst, has rather blocky faces and unnatural movement(though Obelisk's summoning was pretty). The animation consistency is tragic(which is one point for the manga).

Still, this was a duel between the crazy characters, thus making it more entertaining than most of the duels. This is somewhat of a turning point in the Battle City Saga, as there is a bit of turmoil on the villain's side. I wouldn't watch YGO if it weren't for Marik(both of them) and Bakura(and you wouldn't understand unless you were a YGO junkie like me). And in another one of the "Marik's Past" episodes, you can't deny how adorable little Marik is.

I could stand the inconsistent animation, and maybe some of the violent parts edited(although I wish it wouldn't be so choppy), but the biggest downer is Marik's story being changed for no good reason. His likeability was lower in the dub, and so dub viewers might not have as much sympathy for him as one who's watched the original.

Still can't rate it lower than a B.

(shame about the shirt part.)

Heh, it's the dvd i've been waiting for! the one when it's yami marik VS regular marik and yami bakura, HAHAHAHA! can't get any better! all the best characters are there. Yami marik (my fave), marik marik (2nd fave), and yami bakura (3rd). the whole time you can JUST TELL marik and bakura have a little thing going one, ah hahahaha. plus it has the backstory of child marik sneaking out to see the world. i recommend this to anyone who likes YGO, but especially those who like marik, yami marik, and yami bakura. i think it's ridiculous how there are so many unnecessary joey episodes, and the yami marik vs. marik and bakura thing is only two parts. the heck?! but whatever. this is a great dvd with the best characters starring in it. and to top it off, it's MARIK and BAKURA on the cover!! so go get it NOW!

omg this dvd is so good u gotta get it last dvd for season 2 contains 4 episodes interesting where 1 they show a flashback of mariks past this time isheizu talking about it then where they have yami malik and yami ryou bakura duel in the shadows and the episode where isheizu or isis and kaiba duel to see who will win my favorite otta the whole entire season

reviewer- elizabeth longwood fl usa

i liked the prat when marik was duling baruka it was funny when evil bakura said to evil marik that he can,t be destored i was also fuuny when marik and baurka on the week side were fighting marik is still hot and my favorite cahater

Great for any Yu-Gi-Oh fans! This one contains the last bit of Kaiba's duel with Ishizu as well as the filler of her telling everybody about Marik's past. Finally the video ends when Marik goes to the spirit of the Millennium Ring for help to get his body back from his dark side. Yami Bakura makes a deal with Marik and ends up dueling Yami Marik for the right to his Millennium Rod and for Marik's spirit to return.

Once again, I'm just writing pointless reviews.

However, in the peak of the Yu-Gi-Oh saga, these were the best.

I never really watched these in interest of the duels, however, the backstories and events happening elsewhere, was what made these stories so great.

Merik is by far the best character of the entire lot, and his flashback sequence was heartwrenching. He was soooooo cute!! I feel really bad for him, yet I still love him all the more.He is definitely the best villain ever!!!!

In tribute, I have named and based a character after him in the book I've been writing for several years now.
