Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Movie: Pyramid of Light Review

note; I've been watching Yugioh since the early 00s. yet imma spell like a high schooler for this

Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Movie: Pyramid of Light

this is my review on Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Movie: Pyramid of Light

its rated the worst film of 2004

the 1st time I saw it I liked it

the 2nd time I noticed a lot of problems

the 3rd I didn't think it was bad

lets see how this goes

well its fullscreen so theres no black bars

a narrator sez in pharaoh times this pharaoh locked away evil black magic games to save the world

then its the 90s and this wiener kid named yugi puts together the evil magic puzzle item that kept the black magic sealed

as he does this, grave robbers w/ jobs, I mean archeologists, find the lost tomb of Anubis

Anubis died?!

isn't he an ancient pagan god?

is this like dbz how king kai bit it?

so right as yugi finishes the puzzle (which is ripped off of h-llraiser 1), Anubis's mummy revives and the tomb area gets sucked into the desert

btw transformers the movie started with a whole planet getting eaten alive

but this isn't a space movie so they just ice a buncha nobodies

oh and monsters come out of the puzzle in yugi's room

b4 kuriboh eats yugi, the other yugi possesses him and banishes em

btw in the books, after yugi put the puzzle together he challenged ushio to a game

you put money on your hand and use a knife to stab the cash. and get to keep the cash on the blade

but if you poke urself u lose

ushio eat up yugi, joey and trinsin and demanded like 20 000 yen as bodyguard payment

so after yugi got taken over by the other yugi, he faced ushio and when ushio came at him with a knife, the other yugi used black magic on him

later ushio became a biker cop in Yugioh 5Ds

then we get the title

later yugi became a card game champ and won the god cards, cards that are avatars of the gods

so the ancient pharaoh gods are real

later the leviathan from bible times comes out so I guess the bible co-exists with the pharaoh gods

then in GX with the society of light,  space reincarnation, and people being possessed, that makes scien tology real

then in 5Ds we get the Nazca religion

and the norse gods

and in the unaired in America final season, we get the Timegods based on the kabbalah

then it was zexal and its not the same universe

no Pegasus mentions

no synchroes

other than a few easter eggs like Roku having statues of Neos, theres no connection to the 1st block

and that's not proven to be the same neos jaden used as in arc v yuri uses super polymerization

and in GX there was only 1 of those and it was made by ritual sacrifice

Yugioh used to be like phantasy star with each new story building on the last

now its final fantasy with each new story independent of the last

so all these badly drawn nobodies wanna challenge yugi for his god cards

so its like in afro samurai

only no one cares about the 2nd best (kaiba, or rather, marik)

then yugi has a brief card game against kaiba

kaiba gets out blue eyes ultimate dragon and doubles its atk with megamorph

while yugi has all 3 gods on the field somehow

just like in the final duel in the anime with yugi and the other yugi

yugi sacrifices 2 gods to give his 3rd infinity atk

btw, infinity is not a number, its a concept of a value greater than anything

oh and combining the gods power was done in the final battle of memory world with zork

so the monsters clash and its a beam struggle like in dbz

then kaiba gets beat

but its just a simulation

just like in the 20th anniversary movie

man later Yugioh ripped this movie off a lot

kaiba has been struggling to find a way to beat yugi's god cards

usng his private company's resources to win a card game

I can see the media going mental on him

and kaiba tweeting at em

later its night and an invisible man puts a card in Pegasus's card box

Pegasus dreams of the gods sealed in a blue pyramid

why did it take Anubis years to do this plan?

yugi finished the puzzle years ago

he's been free all this time

did he walk to japan?

was he planning this whole time and only now got the idea?

did he need yugi to get the god cards?

cuz without em he can beat him easier

also around the same time, the nearby museum gets the artifacts from Anubis's tomb

who got em there?!

everyone in the area bit it years ago!

was Anubis using his powers?

its never explained

then kaiba uses his custom built blue eyes white dragon jet to fly to Pegasus's island

and it plays a pretty bad a55 song "youre not me"

say what you will about the 4kids dub of Yugioh, but the music is good

and its non union

so kaiba wants to know if Pegasus ever made a card to stop the god cards

spoiler; in the Yugioh R manga; he made the wicked gods, and his protégé tenma or w/e uses them against yugi

but that came later

and in the manga Pegasus bit it after the evil bakura tore out his fake eye in duelist kingdom

Pegasus sez he has 1 card to beat em but don't think kaiba deserves it

so kaiba plays a card game with him for it

and bets his 3 blue eyes white dragons

you know, if Pegasus really wanted blue eyes, he'd print new ones just for him

I mean he made toon world and relinquished just for his personal use

its like betting a rare Gameboy to the president of Nintendo

meanwhile high school, a buncha badly drawn guys swarm yugi and wanna duel him for his god cards to be the best card game guy

so tea, yugi's female friend who just stands around in miniskirt and cheers for yugi most of the time, gets him out while joey plays the badly drawn homies

but they don't care about joey as they think they're nobodies

ironic as they are even less

plus joey was runner up at duelist kingdom and 4th at battle city

also the little blonde kid looks like professor viper's son pierce from Yugioh gx

he got run over chasing cards in the wind

man later Yugioh really ripped this off

so joey sez to get to yugi they gotta beat him

just like afro samurai

so joey creams em but when yugi comes out the mob tramples him after yugi

also joey keeps quoting that fat xxx star marlon brando

cuz kids like on the waterfront and the godfather

better than beyblade season 01 where the episode at the eye full tower (cant spell it right) is called "last tango in paris"

yugi and tea run and escape to the museum

meanwhile, kaba plays Pegasus in his SM dungeon

Pegasus uses his toon cards which used to look kinda gay, but after those cr-ppy a55 performapal cards yuya used, look like fist of the north star dudes

btw I gotta say, the animation in this movie is pretty good

they put effort into it and its got little details the previous episodes didn't

kinda like the transformers movie or simpsons movie

oh and kaiba pokes fun at Pegasus's age

he's only born 8 years b4 kaiba

oh and kaiba uses a trap card to make Pegasus's toon dark magician girl attack his own toon gemini elf

yet he let himself take a hit from the elf's

the difference is only 100 atk and if kaiba had made the elf's attack the dark magician girl, their effect wouldn't cost him a card from his hand

what would you rater have?

100 extra life points?

or an extra card?

or; would you pay 100 points to have an extra card?

so Pegasus summons a buncha toons by paying life to normal summon them

even though toon summons are special summons

kaiba banishes his cards, then revives them with return from the different dimension (which is overpowered)

then combines them into XYZ dragon cannon and uses its effect to bust toon world, which wacks his toons

btw good use of not contradicting the anime where toons were invincible except to other toons or toon world bustin

kaiba beats pegason with his dragoin cannon and finds Pegasus has 2 cards that can beat the gods

but Pegasus sez he only made 1

kaiba don't believe him

at the museum yugi and tea see Anubis's mummy and tea is grossed out by seeing a shriveled corpse

also theres an artifact like yugi's puzzle called the pyramid of light

grampas there and sez it belonged to an ancient sorcerer who tried to destroy the world

why?!

why does he wanna destroy the world?!

bakura wanted to get revenge on the pharaoh for chopping up his fam and using their pieces to make the millennium items

marik wanted to get revenge on the pharaoh for his dad getting skinned

even paradox in the 5Ds movie wanted to ice Pegasus to save the future

but Anubis gets no reason

he's like broly from dbz; just likes wacking people

oh and the other yugi (the pharaoh in the past) beat Anubis b4

grampa sez theres a prophecy of Anubis being beat

then the mummy glows and yugi has a trippy vision that's a bit freaky

oh and they show Anubis with an animal head

that's why this got a PG rating

so when they wake up, the mummy and pyramid is gone and yugi goes to check on kaiba who he feels might be in danger

then granpa sez the legend sez Anubis would revive

as yugi comes out, kaiba's wiener brother gets yugi his limo

joey and Tristin come by the limo at yugi's place getting yugis cards and Tristin admits to pooting when joey smells trouble

what is this? ultimate muscle?

oh and its getting dark

they were out all day

so yugi goes to kaiba's thunderdome and talks to the other yugi who cant recall it

then joey and Tristin come in having caught up to a limo driving using their human legs

kaiba tested his deck on the computer and it won

other yugi tries to get kaiba to not duel as he senses something but kaiba don't care and seals the exits

why is that an option?

so despite other yugi knowing its wrong, he duels kaiba anyway

kaiba gets the pyramid of light card and yugi brings out 1 god card

kaiba uses a card to make yugi summon his other 2 god cards

which means they should be destroyed at the end of the turn as they were summoned by a card effect

oh and yugi could just activate obelisks effect now to do 4000 damage to kaiba and win right now

but he don't

and kaiba activates the trap card; the pyramid of light; which banishes the gods

yet the pyramid of light also sucks out yugi, joey and tristins souls into it

wat is this? the magic tree in avatar?

oh and kaiba's brother keeps his soul

and the pyramid busts the dome and shines a beam in the sky

maybe to the light of destruction from gx

yugi's soul is in the labyrinth of the puzzle

as is joeys and trinstins

but the other yugi is using yugi's body to play cards with kaiba

kaiba attacks with a 500 atk monster with no defensive powers and yugi takes it out with a 1600 atk monster

so kaiba took 1100 damage

for yugi's 500

et it was a trap as kaiba uses a trap to eat 10 cards from yugi's deck each time his clown bites it

and each time 1 bites it, he gets a new one from his deck

also each time yugi or kaiba take damage, their ki gets drained

just like in dbz with Goku vs vegeta in the buu arc

in the puzzle yugi follows the other yugis ki and finds Anubis's room with mummys

are they clones of him?

fragments of his soul?

slaves he kept the souls of?

its never explained

and yugi runs and so do joey and trisrin

kaibas wiener bro and grampa fill eachother in on the plot so far

and the pyramid of light can destroy the world somehow

so the other yugi uses a combo to power up his magician but kaiba uses a trap to make it attack his clown and eat 10 more cards from yugi's deck

kaiba then fuses his 3 blue eyes white dragons to for blue eyes ultimate dragon

again

he did it at duelist kingdom

and in battle city

and yugi found ways to beat him both times

so in the puzzle yugi and his droogs find the pyramid of light is f ing the puzzle

and they go back to face Anubis

how'd they escape the mummies b4?

oh and the other yugi and kaiba's ki is reviving Anubis

just like with buu in dbz

actually gx did this too with yubel being revived by duel energy from the biobands in season 3

the otheryugi wants to stop the card game but kaiba don't wanna and goes on a tirade about his malcontent issues of losing to yugi

even though he made peace with his issues after battle city in the manga

what is this?

dragon ball super where vegeta goes back to trying to surpass Goku?

btw in spain, this Yugioh movie was rated 13+

was there added swearing?

is this cyber city oedo 808 or angel cop?

so the other yugi brings out dark magician and dark magicial girl, then sacrifices em to get out his sorcerer of dark magic

which actually might be good in the card game again

and takes out kaiba's ultimate dragon

later he takes out kaiba's last clown and uses his mages power to stop his deck eating trap

kaiba revives blue eyes ultimate and sacrifices it to bring out Pegasus's card, blue eyes shining dragon

this was the card Pegasus made to beat the gods?

but it can ONLY be used with blue eyes ultimate dragon, a fusion of 3 blue eyes white dragons

and kaiba has the only 3 of them

did Pegasus design this card only for kaiba??

why?!

what if kaiba got the god cards and went evil?

how would he stop them then?!

cuz in the manga, kaiba got his blue eyes cards with illegal and evil ways

remember when kaiba hired a serial killer to take out yugi as revenge for yugi beating him in a card game?

do you want that kind of man having god powers?!

so shining dragon gets an extra 300 atk for each dragon in the graveyard

yet doesn't include kaibas paladin of white dragons as if it did, yugi would lose with this attack

and negates cards that target it

I guess in the show that would stop the gods

they cant target it to drain its atk or pay life points to destroy it

and with enough dragons, it can be pretty big

oh and it looks kinda like lugia from the 2000 pokemon movie

after getting hit by the dragon attack, other yugi blacks out and falls on his pointy gold puzzle pendant thing he's wearing all that leather

later its night and kaibas stadium crumbles from the pyramid

but Pegasus saves tea, grampa and kaibas weener brother in his private chopper

good thing for rich people

so yugi and homies find Anubis's room and he summons his mummies again

Anubis shows them his plan to summon dragons and ice everyone with ki blasts

none of which are real cards yet

yugi wants his droogs to go and he's gonna stop Anubis

yeah a 3 foot tall teen is gonna beat a room of mummies

also tea senses them and stands on the chopper rail and her soul is sucked into the pyramid

her bod nearly falls but the guys catch it

btw souls getting sucked out were uses multiple times in multiple Yugioh series

despite her wearing a miniskirt, we never see her undies

she gives a friendship speech and boosts their homies spirits

then Anubis makes her soul more solid or w/e and she falls and spin kicks off 2 mummy heads

joey and Tristin bust apart and dismember the mummys  one holds anothers head to tea

pretty bad a55

the other yugi gets up and card games kaiba more

oh and theres a camera feed to the duel from inside the pyramid

somehow

other yugi tries talking sense into him stopping the duel

wtf grampa is as tall as kaibas kid brother

but kaiba is being affected by Anubis

he thinks about beating yugi perfectly with his own gods and sacrifices shining dragon to bust the pyramid of light

but Anubis protects it and rises from kaiba's shadow in the nude and throws kaiba away

then he grows hair and clothes

and we finally see him

he looks like a wwf guy

but good work keeping him a mystery until now

also he thinks the other yugi remembers him

he don't. all his info on him is from today

I guess he beat him b4 sealing himself away to stop zork

so now its Anubis vs other yugi and if Anubis wins, h gets to be the new pharaoh and can destrot the world

btw he has a forehead thing like Caesar in Urotsukidoji 3

a to make the ultimate shadow game

wasn't that the name of the other yugi and the other bakura's final battle in memory world?

so Anubis summons 2 sphinx monsters and takes out yugi's monsters

Then sez worms will eat yugi just as they did him

but he was mummified

and I don't think there are worms in that part of Africa

the other yugi draws his last card and all he has is exchange and diffusion wave motion

meanwhile in the soul room, yugi remembers grandpas poem from b4 and throws a knife at the wall shining thing and its handle hits it

oh and joey kicks off a mummy's head

the shining thing cracks and it damages Anubis

Its like in DBGT how Pan and Goku fight Luud from inside and out

Or Majuub fights Bebi Vegeta from inside to help SS4 Goku

other yugi uses double spell (but its really diffusion wave motion) to copy kaiba's monster reborn and revive shining dragon

then sacrifice it to bust pyramid of light

he could've attacked with it and took out a sphinx to do damage THEN busted the pyramid

oh and all the souls are free

but then Anubis combines his sphinx's and they eat the souls of dead monsters to get to 35 000 atk

weird as in GX, syrus's brother (played by Anubis's actor) got Cyber End Dragon to 36 900 atk in ep 052

in their last battle, Anubis didn't get out his ultimate sphinx but now he did

like in memory world how the other yugi never fused the gods to beat zork the 1st time

yugi uses reverse of reverse to play kaiba's face down return from the different dimension to bring back his banished gods

yugi sez kaiba mentioned a perfect win yet kaiba only thought it

can the other yugi read minds?

is he the supreme kai from dbz?

well, the pharaoh is considered a god

as is supreme kai

so maybe

yugi combines his gods but NOT into Holactie the Creator of Light like with Zork

the ground breaks open

lava splashes around like waves

holy cr-p the thing on the top of obelisks head is like the barian emblem from Yugioh zexal!

I never noticed dat

his gods have infinity atk and beat Anubis's uber sphinx

btw this is Anubis's turn so yugi could've done this to kaiba an hour ago and won and skipped this whole mess

Anubis burns and shatters as does his pyramid of light item

but a red gumball from it withstands and Anubis revives as a big f'd up abomination

he uses 2 magic cards to blow out yugi and kaiba's duel disks and decks and is gonna waste em for real

why didn't he do this from the start?!

just sneak attack and gut em?!

joey summons real monsters and attacks but get iced

also; the monsters turning real and fighting a big dark monster was used with Zork in memory world

he busts the duel dome but Pegasus saves e with real toon monsters

so can yugi summon and make out with dark magician girl?

and kaiba do the same with blue eyes white dragon?

so yugis use real blue eyes shining dragon to ice Anubis

he melts and rots into purple goo and then a mummy then dissolves

and his red gumball shatters

as a kid I bought eye poppers gum from vending machines in a 5-6 pack of different colors. when I had the red one I bit it open mouthed a few times, took it out and said; rotting meat!!

as it looked like raw meat

kaiba sez he would've won if not for the interruption and to spare his b-ll about friendship

and he's gonna face yugi again

but not today or now for some reason

yugi sez kaiba may have money but he has friends and sharing wins with friends makes you a real winner

then the credits play to really 90s music

the end

that was a fun film

good music and acting it didn't force a romance subplot or sad moment

its not gonna change anyones life like ben hur or the blue bird

but its a fun lite 90s style film that actually set a lot of things later used in Yugioh

its a pretty clean tvpg movie w/o swearing or blood or nude scenes like in go nagai or dbz

ooh, color by deluxe

I mean did bill and ted have some cosmic meaning?

did beavis and butthead do America try to be life changing?

its a decent film that entertains

if you want deep; read the manga

at least the acting is good in here

better than turning mecard anyway

its sorta like command as its just a fun ride and not big on super srs stuff

for Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Movie: Pyramid of Light 2 I want Anubis's great grand descendant to arrive having sensed his Ki at Kaiba's duel dome but finds he's been destroyed. then, space demons attracted by the energy from the pyramid of light in yugi's duel with kaiba that went to space arrive and they reveal they came for the pyramid to use it to enslave the world. but with it gone, they team up to get revenge on yugi and kaiba, in a card game, where winner gets to live. also tea reveals he's gotten pregnant but doesn't know how. turns out, when her soul was in the pyramid of light and Anubis zapped her, he left a bit of his soul on her and its reborning in her as her kid. its also a Gameboy advance game where you play Yugioh with various people and Pegasus holds another tournament as he's inspired to try a new card type and wants players to test it in their decks to see how it works. and yugi is in one bracket with the aliens and the descendant is in the other with yugi's homies.
