4	!!The prequel manga
5	* When Sera duels Kaiba in the latter half of ''Transcend Game'', Sera kicks off with her ace monster, an 8800 Pulse beatstick. Kaiba brings out his ace, the iconic Blue-Eyes White Dragon, which has a Pulse of... 3000. Sera moves in immediately and blows up Blue-Eyes, but Kaiba simply laughs at it; not only does Blue-Eyes survive and not a scratch is left on Kaiba, its Pulse power-leaps to ''19900'' and curbstomps Sera.

7	!!The movie
8	* The visual effects and general animation quality are the best that ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' has ever seen.
9	* Kaiba, of course, making an entrance by jumping out of his Blue-Eyes White Jet before it's actually landed.
10	* When Aigami tries to steal the Puzzle, Mokuba headbutts him away and he only manages to get two pieces.
11	* Aigami tries to disintegrate Kaiba almost immediately but is repelled by his augmented willpower (via Duel Disk) and forced to duel him instead.
12	* After all he's done, seeing Jonouchi grab Aigami by the collar and try to punch him is immensely satisfying, even if he doesn't land the hit.
13	* Mokuba's new look is certainly awesome.
14	* The dub gives one to Joey. Instead of transporting him to another dimension and straight-up disintegrating them as in the Japanese version, Aigami traps him in a world of memories which he proceeds to erase bit by bit, which would erase Joey's memories/body as well. Joey saves himself by thinking of his friends, including Atem, and breaks out on his own.
15	* Kaiba manages to track down and capture Aigami, who can teleport at will and disintegrate people.
16	* When dueling Aigami, Kaiba seems to be on the ropes until he summons Obelisk the Tormentor by pulling the card out of the ground. He sacrifices two monsters to activate Obelisk's effect and ends up dealing 7000 damage to Aigami in one turn. Unfortunately the duel is interrupted before he can win.
17	-->'''Kaiba''': I activate... Obelisk's ability! By destroying all of my monsters, you take damage equal to Obelisk's Attack Points!
18	-->'''Aigami''': [[{{Depower}} But your monster can't use it's abilities!]]
19	-->'''Kaiba''': [[NoSell It's no monster...]] [[PhysicalGod IT'S A GOD!]]
20	-->(''cue OhCrap reaction from Aigami'')
21	-->'''Kaiba''': Attack with [[CallingYourAttacks FIST! OF FURY!!]] (''MegatonPunch ensues'')
22	* After Kaiba just got finished hyping up his new Duel Disk, Duel Links system, and himself to a stadium full of people, he announces that he'll challenge Aigami, only for Yugi to proclaim that he'll be dueling Aigami first in order to save Bakura. Yugi then proceeds to talk down Kaiba and when Kaiba asks if he's threatening him, Yugi says "Sure, why not. Now, what's it gonna be, Kaiba?" Then Kaiba agrees and allows Yugi and Aigami to duel first instead.
23	* Yugi endures the onslaught of Aigami's constantly-evolving Cubic Monsters. And after denying his attempt to join him and calling him out on his hypocrisy, he turns the tables with a triple trap card combination that traps his opponent in a perpetual damage loop, essentially causing it to self destruct and take Aigami with it. Bonus points for it being similar to Atem's strategy to defeat Strings and Slifer the Sky Dragon. Yugi was clearly paying attention.
24	* The following confrontation with Kaiba is equally amazing, a fast and furious back and forth with both duelist giving it their all as Yugi's magician girls use their synchronized abilities to clash against Kaiba's increasingly powerful dragons. Notably, this is the only time in the film the normally cool and collected Kaiba nearly ''panics'' when Yugi almost ends him by summoning one of his own ace cards, complete with a suitably dramatic chant.
25	--> Yugi: Break free from your iron prison, Gandora X: THE DRAGON OF DEMOLITION!"
26	* Just when it looks like Kaiba is about to stage a come-back and win the duel, Yugi counters him with Final Geass, negating the effect of the ''very Monster Reborn card he gave Kaiba earlier'' to bring back his Dark Magician to the field, and is in the position to defeat his oponent before they are interrupted.
27	** It's even better if you look into the move more closely. The last time Yugi was shown using Monster Reborn was when he ''didn't'', using it as a symbol that the dead should stay dead when he negated it during his winning move against Atem. Not only did he prevent Kaiba from gaining a foothold over him, he sent him another message regarding Atem staying dead.
28	* Aigami and Mani are powerful enough to wield the Millennium Ring without dying, and Mani briefly resists its control, stopping himself from killing Bakura.
29	* Yugi before Atem shows up because he was in the midst of his ''third consecutive duel'' which used either magic or technology to literally wear away at him physically. He still held out until the last possible moment, which was longer than anyone else could.
30	** Joey gets another understated one. Yugi and Aigami are dueling, the world is crumbling around them, and we get a shot of... Joey, the only other person left conscious before he fades too. And this is at the end of it all, literal moments before ''Yugi'' falls unconscious.
31	* Atem has two BigDamnHeroes moments where he uses his powers from the afterlife to help Joey get out of the dissolving dimension. The second time he appears, he enters like the Winged Dragon of Ra's Phoenix mode and effortlessly summons his loyal servant Mahad to vanquish Diva's corruption. Complete with his badass theme in the English version! Ramping the epicness to a Millennium!
32	* Anzu going off to America to pursue her dream of dancing on Broadway in the closing credits of the movie.
33	* Kaiba just in general. Guy is so salty and petty about never getting his rematch, first he tries to drag the soul of a dead man, that just found rest after 5000 years, back to life, putting the entire world at risk, and when that fails, he just builds a machine that ''allows him to travel to the afterlife'' instead. Just to play a children's card game with his dead rival. EvilIsPetty has never been this [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome Awesome]].
