* Marik and Bakura's "breakup" in Evil Council 5. Bakura is finally sick of Marik's HarmlessVillain status and calls it quits, leaving to join Dartz's crew because he'll be able to do ''actual'' evil with them. Marik tries to salvage the situation by turning to the underlings he still has, only to find out the hard way that they won't listen to him-- Bakura was the one keeping everyone in line. Marik's Evil Council quietly dissolves after that.

* The show is already in its fourth season. Given how there's only 1 (or 2, depending on [=LittleKuriboh]='s progress) season in the original anime to work on left, the show will soon reach its conclusion and Martin will probably retire from abridging. It's a very sad fact for long-time fans to realize.

Marik started sobbing immediately, seemingly knowing he might have killed Bakura as Melvin.]] This is Marik we're talking about here.
