I actually mainly wanted to do an audio clip of this because it’s interesting that while the music in the movie so far has pretty much been the same as in the tv show, here they actually did a new arrangement of Yami Yugi’s theme, Passionate Duelist. I like it, it sounds pretty cool.
Also it’s just a really cool scene in general. Kaiba’s smirk kind of amuses me though. He’s definitely pleased that Yami refuses to give up, although he wouldn’t have actually seriously expected him to. Also look at that beautiful fierce face of Atem’s.
This new mix is actually Yugi’s personal theme off Sound Duel 4, which has music from POL and the Memory World arc. I think POL came out in Japan after DM was over, as opposed to us getting it mid-series, so they had a wider pool of music to use. It gets used a bunch of times with Yugi in MW, notably during my favorite scene in 217 when he busts out Gandora (IIRC).
But yeah, this mix is awesome. Passionate Duelists probably works just as well here too, lol.
