5.0

Slifer the Sky Dragon, the most epic Egyptian God. Tied with Obelisk. Wait, there are only three. Oh, well. I think we all agree Ra just looks dumb.

Yugi first duel against an Egyptian God is an amazing one. Thought he took a page out of Kaiba's book and screwed the rules to win. It was still amazing, and he used one of the best Trap Cards, Magic Cylinder. This book wasn't boring in the slightest! In fact, I think I read it all the way through without stopping(I usually don't do this). It was one of the less cheesier books, that's for sure.

End of very short review!

The last few volumes I didn't feel particularly strongly about either way, though they were starting to feel like a big of a chore to get through. But this one really picked things up again, and I enjoyed seeing the god card in action. Still a lot of cheese, though.

This volume has a lot more of Marik within it as he duels against Yugi using the mime. This pleased me a lot and there was some fan-girling occurring in the middle of the park where I was reading, especially when he got on his motorbike. At the very end of the book is the best scene where
SpoilerYami Bakura confronts Marik as they meet for the first time. Bakura threatens to kill Marik if he doesn’t hand over his Millennium Rod.

I love the way that Kaiba supports Yugi in his duel against Slifer, commenting that Yugi is the only person he respects as a duelist. It is also Kaiba that works out how to defeat Slifer and his hinting that leads Yugi to figuring it out himself.
The end of the volume has Yugi and Kaiba tag-duel with some ghouls (rare hunters) whom they defeat very easily and it sets up Jonouchi’s duel with Kajiki.
I really enjoyed this volume, mainly because of the increased presence of Marik.
