Editing The Winged Dragon of Ra (section)

=== Battle City ===
Three thousand years later (five thousand in the English dub), [[Maximillion Pegasus]] created Duel Monsters cards based on the Egyptian Gods. However, Ra's power was shrouded in mystery, as its Hieratic text was indecipherable. Pegasus transcribed this ancient text onto the card, which could only be activated under specific conditions. The text, visible only in Ra's light, needed to be recited to summon "The Winged Dragon of Ra."

The God Cards became imbued with the spirits of the gods, turning them into weapons of immense power. Recognizing the danger, Pegasus attempted to destroy them but ultimately entrusted them to the Egyptian supreme council of antiquities. The cards were buried in the Valley of the Kings. The Rare Hunters managed to steal "Slifer the Sky Dragon" and "The Winged Dragon of Ra," while "Obelisk the Tormentor" remained secure until [[Ishizu Ishtar]] gave it to [[Seto Kaiba]] to encourage him to host the Battle City tournament and retrieve the other God Cards.

[[Marik Ishtar]], leader of the Rare Hunters, entered the tournament with "Slifer" and "Ra." Ra's power caused significant havoc during the tournament, smiting the arena when a counterfeit card was used, nearly killing [[Mai Valentine]] during a Shadow Game, and inflicting immense pain on [[Joey Wheeler]] in its Phoenix form. In the finals, Yami Yugi defeated [[Yami Marik]] and claimed "The Winged Dragon of Ra" as his prize.
