Description
The seal is always the best background for him. Look how evil and satanic he looks.Opinion time,
Dartz always felt more like a final boss than Bakura for me. Reasons:
* Bakura was Zorc, and Zorc was the lord of darkness itself. But still, he was just and evil figure, he just appeared at the end and he couldn't even hurt anyone (I mean characters). Orichalcos was much more than that. It literally destroyed millions of lives, mostly using Dartz. It also destroyed Atem emotionally.
* Zorc was just trying to be evil and collect millenium items. And guess what? Dartz was not even interested in the items, since Orichalcos easily blocked their powers. (Yeah, I know how anime works, the new evil is always stronger then the previous one bull*hit)
But I'm not talking about logic here, I'm comparing two main villains, one is canon, and one is filler. Yet, the filler stands stronger. Not only Dartz's arc was darker than the Egypt arc, it also took place in present time. Zorc's battle actually happened in the past. The whole arc was about time travel. Meanning that Dartz is actually the final villain. (I don't count DSOD)
* Both Dartz and Orichalcos are much older than Egypt itself. Atlantis... And to think no place could be more mysterious than Ancient Egypt.
* Zorc was trying to destroy Earth while Dartz was going to destroy Duel Monsters' world too.
* A kind looking villain is always better than the evil looking villain for me. Zorc was clear with his ambitions, be evil and destroy the world. But Dartz was acting and thinking as if he is a savior, a holy man trying to purify the world and declaring every human is a sinner. Which makes him a realistic villain, as in real world, all villains are heroes in their perspectives.
* Bakura kept losing and losing to Atem, making himself an easy villain. Hell he even defeated Pegasus because he was tired. And let's look at Dartz, his minions already managed to defeat Pegasus, Atem and Joey. (I don't care if Atem's loss is unfair. A loss is a loss. I don't care if it's not canon to the manga either. Anime has its own canon.) He defeated Kaiba and he could beat Atem too. If you watch his duel, you can see that he prefered to finish Kaiba first. He only dueled once, and he already proved to be an ultimate boss.
I'm not saying Dartz is the best villain. That's completely subjective. I'm saying that he is the real final boss of DM anime. Not Bakura. Sorry manga fans. Also I don't hate Bakura, I love all DM villains.

YES!
This is exactly why I feel that Dartz was one of the most well-written villians in the franchise. Although all the others are good in their own right, Dartz was probably the most efficient with his resources, and the way he targeted Atem and co along with the other supporting characters.
If you look into the lore behind Atlantis itself, it's a city that was talked about between Egyptians to the Greeks for a while. (Most notable from Plato)
For this reason, although it's not canon, I think it is. (Also, it's just a nice trivia for anyone with passion for Egyptian and Greek mythology.) I digress.

I second this. Real-life villains are not so cut-and-dry as one would think. They are also very cunning with how they treat and speak to their followers.
Bakura is good as well, but I think the way the anime played it out, it seemed off and more like a villain that should have followed up from Season 1. (To me at least)
Back to the image, the shading and neon lighting effect is very well executed here. The hands offer a nice transition to guide the viewer's eyes and reflects the paragraph I took from you to the T.
Well done!

To me Dartz is the most powerful Villian. In the cannon from the anime, Zorc and millenium items comes from Atlantean Magic. So, ofc Atlantean stuff is stronger than Egyptian one.

Dartz was definitely the best villain, and he still fits into the Egyptian arc because there is a theory that the people of Egypt were either descendants or reincarnated people from Atlantis and most of Atlantis's secrets were sealed in the pyramids.
And with Zorc's arc, I see it as a family tragedy and explains why Atem was seen as evil because his uncle lied to his brother about the items and slaughtered a village which unleashed Zorc and poor Bakura became his vessel, and Takahashi wanted Seto to turn on Atem thinking he killed Kisara and become Pharaoh which would show the sins of the father will follow the child. And it turns out Zorc is Ra's brother in mythology and they could have made their backstory about their human lives together and how Zorc became evil. That could have brough so much potential.
Great job!

The real villain is Akunadin in the manga, apparently. And Bakura's evil spirit is also him, not Zorc. Which is a better and stronger story I think, because we see how wretched Akunadin is in the whole season. And he thinks he is doing a good thing for his son, Seto.
Thank you <3

Oh really? I must have missed that. Yeah I saw it as bullcrap he was suddenly forgiven for everything, he committed genocide behind his brother's back and Atem almost died for it had Akunomkanon offered to sacrifice himself as a punishment for not looking deep into how his brother got the items and the demon he unleashed. And it would be atwist if he found Bakura as a child and used the Millennium eye to make him think it was Akunomkanon that ordered his village to be destroyed, and when hes free from control thanks to Atem he can testify against Akunadin and Atem would have him put to death for treason.
