He returned to try and kill Odion again, but Ishizu had been warned by Marik and moved Odion. Yami Marik in the Virtual World arc. In the Virtual World arc, Yami Marik decided to wait on the airship and see how the situation unfolded for most of the arc.
He eventually got tired of waiting and took matters into his own hands, deciding that no-one would hurt Yugi before he did. He investigated Noah Kaiba 's base to find Yugi and his friends, but got frustrated with the high-tech contraptions that blocked his way. Eventually, the alarm set off and the fortress guard robots came after him, but he easily dealt with them using his Millennium Rod.
He forced his way through the base and destroyed the main power generator, which in turn, released Kaiba's blimp. Then, he found the console that controlled the satellite, which Noah programmed to fire a missile to destroy the base. Marik recklessly destroyed it, so there was no way to stop the missile. Luckily, he and the rest of the group managed to escape in the airship.
The airship soon arrived at KaibaCorp Island, where the Duel Tower that the finals and semi-finals would be held in was located. The match-ups for the semi-final would be decided by a four-way Battle Royale Duel. Yami Marik didn't really care who he'd face, but eventually decided to match himself up against Yugi. However, despite his disruptive tactics, both Kaiba and Joey were intending to make sure that Yami Marik Dueled Joey, and Yami Marik was the first to be eliminated, followed swiftly by Joey.
As they ascended to the top of the tower, Yami Marik warned Joey to prepare himself for his fate. Yami Marik transformed his Duel with Joey into a Shadow Game , connecting the Duelists to their monsters so that they'd feel the pain their monsters did.
Joey turned this against him by using " Question " to Summon his " Jinzo ", crippling Yami Marik's strategy after it destroyed his Traps. However, Joey was still standing after its blast and Summoned " Gearfried the Iron Knight ", a monster with enough power to win him the Duel. He attempted to attack Marik directly but collapsed from the Shadow Game and was unable to continue to claim victory. Yami Marik was still reeling that he had nearly lost the Duel and gagged into his hands, though he recovered enough to gloat.
As he left to recover, Kaiba stopped him and claimed that Yami Marik had revealed all of the secrets of "Ra", and that he held the card capable of defeating it. Yami Marik sarcastically wished him luck. He noted what had happened, though he planned to kill both of them whatever the outcome.
He smiled fiendishly after Yami Yugi won, ensuring that he would get the chance to kill him in a Shadow Game. After the Duel, Yami Marik furiously demanded that the Rod show him what it had shown Kaiba and Yugi, and when it didn't respond, he tossed it away in frustration.
He began to subdue Marik, but was stopped by the arrival of Ishizu , and then Yami Yugi. Yami Marik decided to wait until it was time for his Duel to finish things and departed, laughing, but returning to the top of the Tower before Yugi did.
As they shuffled each other's Decks, Yami Marik taunted Yami Yugi, suggesting that he shuffle well so that "Ra" would end up at the bottom of his Deck. Yami Yugi didn't even look at the card before he Set it, but Yami Marik wasn't interested. He also revealed that he had taken the Millennium Ring from Yami Bakura , revealing that he was behind Bakura's disappearance to the group at large.
Yugi then Summoned " Obelisk the Tormentor " and attacked Yami Marik directly, badly injuring him, but this gave Yami Marik the opportunity to create a clone of it called " Egyptian God Slime ". He used the Slime to stall until he could revive "Ra" to destroy "Obelisk", but Yami Yugi prevented this by using "Slifer" as a shield.
As Yami Marik taunted Odion and blasted him with the Millennium Rod, Odion urged Marik to realize that he had to accept his responsibility for being a Tomb Keeper and the death of his father. With this confidence, Marik overpowered his evil self and urged Yami Yugi to attack him. Yami Yugi did so, destroying "Ra. Yami Marik begged his other self to work with him, but his efforts were in vain. Marik forfeited, reducing his Life Points to zero and resulting in the ultimate destruction of Yami Marik.
Yami Marik made another brief appearance in Mai's nightmares at the beginning of Waking the Dragons , a factor that had huge ramifications concerning her alliance with Doma. Yami Marik appears in two flashbacks in Yu-Gi-Oh! Yami Marik runs an Immortality-Torture Deck , which focuses on slowly torturing his opponents and him watching them squirm.
In the theme of pain, Yami Marik's cards slowly drain his opponent's strength, such as discarding their hand with " Helpoemer ", lowering ATK with " Dark Jeroid " and " Plasma Eel ", and inflicting Burn damage with " Coffin Seller " and " Bowganian ". Some of his cards, like " Nightmare Wheel " and the manga-exclusive " Viser Shock " and " Viser Des ", are based on torture machines.
With " The Winged Dragon of Ra " as his trump card, Yami Marik uses a variety of cards to discard it, then revive it with " Monster Reborn " to devastate his opponents. He further relies on retrieving "Monster Reborn" to his hand after using it initially to continue to revive "Ra" again and again, using cards such as " Left Arm Offering " and " Mining for Magical Stones ".

Flip Gemini Union Spirit Toon. It's with him that things ramped up a bit in seriousness, at least with the anime. His ability to continually hover as a bad guy without ever fully getting his hands dirty until the latter half of his run made him interesting. What's a shame is that some of his more defining traits from the manga didn't carry over to the Yu-Gi-Oh! The dub changed the carvings in Marik's back to tattoos instead and it's a change that the anime had to make to meet the regulations of being a cartoon meant for kids.
It's a minor change in the grand scheme of things as well since it still served the same purpose as it did in the manga, only changing how it was done. Even big fans of the manga can admit that at times, it took itself far too seriously, much of Marik's backstory an example of that. For whatever reason, be it an honest mistake or conscious decision, the Yu-Gi-Oh!
In the manga, he's always wearing beige, and the lack of hoodie was one way fans could tell Marik from Yami Marik. The anime, meanwhile, has him wear black pants, shifting over to beige when the darkness took over him. It's an odd choice, especially since the Yami version of characters always had deeper voices to begin with. This is the very definition of going too far, but that didn't stop the manga from having Marik skin his father, throwing part of his back onto Odion because he so desperately wanted to be part of the Ishtar family.
It may establish the hatred that was there for the dad, but simply killing him should have been more than enough. The anime smartly foregoes any of this, leaving the more gratuitous forms of violence for the pages of the manga.
Shadi plays a large role in creating the grudge that Marik has towards the Pharaoh. He feels they are the one that killed his father, doing so under the orders of the Pharaoh. For various reasons, none of his family is capable of telling him the truth, leading him towards villainy like Kaiba. The anime minimizes this since they take Marik's goals in a different direction.
At their core, every villain has a degree of humanity. They go down a dark path due to some inherent desire to change their lives, achieve a self-fulfilling goal, or get revenge. Marik's case meets all these criteria. His childhood trauma pushes him to the brink of insanity. While it's contained for years by Odion the only person Marik has a seeming emotional connection to , the latter's collapse after a Shadow Game is what turns Marik's Borderline Personality Disorder into the devastating catastrophe, Yami Marik.
On the retrospective, Odion's last-minute intervention between The Pharaoh and Yami Marik's Shadow Game is what allows Marik to regain a part of his mental sanity, and in a collective effort between him and the Pharaoh, overcome Yami Marik once and for all.
