An Egypt exhibit opens in Domino City and Yugi is asked to show the Millennium Puzzle in one of the displays. While exploring the exhibits, he encounters a mysterious Egyptian carrying around a gold scale. Shadi is determined to test his powers, no matter the cost...
Tropes associated with this episode:
- Affectionate Gesture to the Head: Shadi does this to Yugi, much to his surprise and annoyance.
- Anti-Heroic Rescue: Yami Yugi pulls Shadi up after he lost the Shadow Game.
- Bait-and-Switch: Honda believes Miho is screaming because she's scared of the mummy and is counting on her to run into his arms for safety. Instead, she's screaming because she finds the mummy cute. (It was Jonouchi who ran into his arms).
- Battle in the Center of the Mind: The episode's Shadow Game takes place within Yugi's mind.
- Bowdlerize: Shadi has the museum owner's chair turn into Ammit and eat him. Unlike the manga, where the illusion kills him, here he recovers, albeit being scarred for life.
- A Day in the Limelight: Shadi and his two Millennium Items.
- Greed: The museum owner is punished because of his greedy nature. Despite his claims to do the right thing, the Millennium Scales make it clear that his focus is on money.
- He Will Not Cry, so I Cry for Him: Shadi claims that the tears he is shedding are for the mummy on display.
- Literal Split Personality: Shadi sees that Yugi's mind is divided into two sections, one side for Yugi and the other for the Puzzle's spirit.
- Rule of Symbolism: Yugi's "room" is filled with toys, signifying his playful, child-like personality. Dark Yugi's is like a Shadow Game unto itself.
