** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnCTdNnILp0 This guy]] did a turn by turn breakdown of the Duel, and it seems it was indeed "Polymerization". The reason for his grin is still up for interpretation, but it likely was him accepting defeat and acknowledging Yugi as a WorthyOpponent.

** According to [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Yu-Gi-Oh!_The_Dark_Side_of_Dimensions#Yugi_Muto_vs._Seto_Kaiba this]] it wasn't anything specific, though his hand did contain Polymerization. It's possible it'd be a trap related to Polymerization in some manner, but since the duel was interrupted we'll never really know.

** We've seen another manga scene depicting Yugi simply touching the Millennium Puzzle while it's not around his neck and Yami appearing. We also can't be sure if that is really Bakura saying that, as Yami Bakura can do a damn good impersonation of his host. For all we know, that statement might not be true in the slightest.

** [[RuleOfThree Yet]] ''[[RuleOfThree another]]'' [[RuleOfThree possibility]] is that Zorc/Yami Bakura infused a piece of their soul into Diva himself on the night Shin was killed, only manifesting once again when the Millennium Ring fell into Diva's possession. Dark Diva states some oddball things like "Diva is no longer in control; I am. His fear invited me into his soul. He has saved me!" and, "Shin is no longer my master! That is why I did away with him!" Diva wouldn't denounce Shin as his master nor was he the cause of his death. The only other entity present that night who did away with Shin ''and'' had the ability to infuse parts of his soul into objects was Yami Bakura.

* If the Cube's powers activated upon the Pharaoh's departure, why was Shadi able to use it before then?

** The Plana is confusing, but there's a possible explanation. Shadi gave them their powers with the intent of having them make the world a better place. If Seto hadn't have tried to resurrect the Pharaoh, Aigami probably would have tried to use his powers for their original intended purpose. Additionally, if Aigami hadn't tried to stop Seto then probably nothing would have happened. Yugi would have solved the Puzzle at Seto's request, but Atem would have no reason to return and Seto would have had to accept it then (probably). Perhaps Shadi gave them the powers under the condition of the Pharaoh leaving for two reasons: 1. The Pharaoh would no longer be around to defend humanity from magical threats himself, and 2. With the magic of the Items more or less sealed and that conflict over, humans could progress using magic with no bad origins (the Kul Elna massacre). The Pharaoh's return ridding them of their powers is perhaps a failsafe - if there was a threat so great that the Plana couldn't handle it, or if the Pharaoh needed to return, that would show that the Plana weren't working out as intended, so their powers should be removed and people would have to improve the world without magic. If we assume that the Pharaoh returning is only possible if the Puzzle is reassembled, that would mean someone was messing with the Items again. The magic from the Items might be a greater threat than the Plana can handle (Atem did p*wn Monster!Aigami pretty easily, though that might be because of his own power and not the Puzzle), so the Pharaoh returning might rid them all of their powers again to protect people from the Millennium Item magic. He does send the Puzzle to the Afterlife at the end of the movie, suggesting all Millennium magic is now gone for good. Tl:dr, Shadi probably intended for the Plana to do good but in making Aigami afraid of the Pharaoh's return, it accidentally ended up leading to Aigami helping cause the Pharaoh's return.

* Everything about the Plana is confusing, especially ''why'' Shadi would give them the powers under such conditions. It makes the end of the manga/anime a NiceJobBreakingItHero moment since the Pharaoh leaving was what caused the whole movie to happen, not only with Kaiba's plotline to assemble the Puzzle, but also Aigami's escalating war. Atem ''had'' to return to stop the Plana since him leaving started it, despite the movie ''also'' enforcing the idea that he ''couldn't'' return and everyone had to move on, including Yugi and Kaiba.

Beating YB in the final shadow game DID kill him. he was zorc, and anything part of zorc died when they lost the game, and if it WAS YB ther's no reason why he didn't just possess Bakura again. Alsoa dding onto an example because in Duelsit Kingdom they had 2000 LP.


** Another possibility is that Zorc and Bakura being in the Ring too long tainted it with evil, but without Zorc/Bakura actually being in there
** It's been firmly established that beating Yami Bakura in a shadow game doesn't kill him, but just stuns him for a while. It's entirely possible that this is just Yami Bakura resurfacing once again.
