    This episode was great!

    The duel between Mahad and Bakura was intense! It was a mighty force: Diabound vs. another mighty force: The Illusion Magician. With Diabounds powers growing with darkness!

    Diabound has a new power: He can copy monsters attacks and abilities that he destroyed. Sweet! Very good effect of this monster.

    Mahad was great in this episode. He trapped Bakura in a cavern filled with hidden traps to try to destroy Bakura! Very clever!

    When the stakes were high Mahad gave his soul and his Millenium Item, to become one with his Illusion Magician. Sadly, failing at trying to defeat Bakura.

    Mahad, or should I say the Dark Magician is now Yugis favorite monster why? Now we know the age old question. It's because Mahad gave his soul to fuse with his Illusion Magician in honor of the Pharoah. Very special.

    A special event also happens! Yugi and the gang go to Egypt! Can't wait to see what beholds in the next episode of Yu-Gi-Oh!moreless

    After I saw the preview for this epsode on Warner Brothers Network aka Channel 27 on my TV. I said to myself "I'll bet ten bucks (five for the Dark Magician, and five for Dark Magician Girl) that in this episode, Mahad becomes the Dark Magician and his apprentice, Mana will become Dark Magician Girl."

    I was right about Mahad becoming the Dark Magician, but it remains to be seen if I was right about Mana becoming the Dark Magician Girl.moreless
