Spiritual Awakening - Recap

(The Previously on Yu-Gi-Oh! Summary and then the song)
Yugi asks what (Yami) Bakura did to Rex and Weevil and Bakura says he sent them to the shadow realm. (not really. He only knocked them out in the Japanese instead of killing them. Thankfully...) Bakura says that although he’s letting Yugi have the items back, he’s going to keep one - the ring. He says that he’ll give it back later, though; when the time is right. He also tells Yugi that when all the items are back where they belong, that a doorway to the spirit world is opened and Yami will be set free. Yami then takes over, thinking that Bakura’s telling him lies. Bakura tells Yami that they are more alike then what he believes, that he has to play a game to solve the puzzle of his mind, and walks away.

The power goes off at Kaiba Corp. - not too surprising because it’s storming outside. But then the computer screen turns on with Bakura on it. Bakura tells Kaiba to go to the roof with his cards and duel disk if he wants Mokuba. Kaiba takes off his tie and grabs his briefcase. Kaiba arrives at the 21st floor - the roof - and steps out of the elevator in his dueling outfit. Mokuba falls into Kaiba’s arms and he sets him down to the side while the two teens duel. Kaiba’s surprised when he realizes that Bakura’s thinking about a shadow game. But Kaiba tells him that he doesn’t dwell in the past, but looks ahead into the future.
Bakura plays the Duke of Demise. Kaiba then plays Vorse Raider combined with Shrink, causing Bakura to lose 900LP.
Bakura loses another 500LP because of the Duke of Demise. He sacrifices the Duke of Demise to summon Diabound colonel. Then he plays Spirit Illusion to create a second Diabound and attacks Kaiba’s Vorse Raider with it - causing Kaiba’s monster to lose 1800 attack points. Bakura attacks Vorse Raider with his original Diabound and destroys it. Kaiba loses 1700LP.
Kaiba plays Lord of Dragons and the Flute of Summoning Dragon to summon a Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Bakura can’t use Diabound’s doppelganger to lower his monster because of Lord of D.’s special effect. After playing his Blue-Eyes, Kaiba finds himself holding Kisara in his arms, telling her that he’ll save her.

After snapping out of it, he thinks about how that vision’s similar to the one that happened in Battle City during his and Yugi’s duel. Kaiba attacks Diabound, but Bakura activates Spirit Shield - negating an attack by removing a card in the graveyard from play.
Bakura plays Pot of Greed and then plays Greek Tablet - trapping Kaiba’s Lord of Dragons in a stone until it’s attacked and when it’s released Kaiba loses 500LP. Bakura uses his Diabound clone to lower the Blue-Eyes’ attack to 1200 points. The original Diabound then attacks. Kaiba activates Attack Guidance Armor to make Bakura’s monster attack Lord of Dragons instead. Kaiba’s life points go down to 1200.
Kaiba plays Card of Demise - letting him draw four cards as long as he sends his hand to the graveyard in five turns. Then Kaiba activates Soul Release and removes all of the monsters in Bakura’s graveyard from play. Kaiba then plays Silent Doom to bring back Vorse Raider, and he sacrifices Vorse Raider and his Blue-Eyes to summon another Blue-Eyes. Then attacks Bakura’s Diabound with the Blue-Eyes, causing Bakura’s Life Points to go down to 1400. Bakura activates Mirror Tablet and Rebirth Tablet to bring his Diabound colonel back and also letting him gain half of the sacrificed Blue-Eyes’ original attack strength.

Bakura attacks the Blue-Eyes with his powered-up Diabound, causing Kaiba to lose 300LP and bringing his life points to 900. Kaiba plays monster reborn and brings back a Blue-Eyes.
Bakura has a way to win the duel, but then he notices the sun is starting to rise. He tosses Kaiba the Millennium Eye, telling him that he can find out more about his past if he went to Egypt. He asks Kaiba if he ever wondered why he had such a strong bond with his Blue-Eyes, then left.
Yugi is at the airport; heading to Cairo, Egypt. Tristan, Joey, and Tea come; surprising Yugi. They want to go to Egypt and help Yugi and Yami.
Their plane takes off, Yugi looking out the window.
