Priest Akhenaden and Bakura, King of Thieves faced each other in a ka battle at the Shrine of Wedju, in the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga. A similar version of this battle takes place in the anime. As part of his crusade to collect the Millennium Items, Bakura targeted Akhenaden, but rather than kill him and take his Millennium Eye, he decided to corrupt Akhenaden with evil, in revenge for the Kul Elna massacre.
