they don't bring up marik's split until here, instead of having it be directly mentioned in the first flashback. i actually felt a strong sense of dread watching them suddenly start mentioning it as marik starts holding his head
in eng kaiba just says some bs about "idk what that was but it's not related to the duel disks" in jp kaiba is like "don't worry the god card only psychologically attacked them through my disks, they won't die lol"
unreal rules moment. god's lightning strikes em down but they're still technically in this
the ritual is itself scary and foreshadowed in rishido's memory here...
it really does make more sense originally that the gang feels like he can't quite be marik
