Yugi pushed Yami out of "The Seal of Orichalcos" and let the Seal take his soul instead. Yami Yugi activated "The Seal of Orichalcos" out of desperation, but proceeded to lose the Duel. During his Duel against Yami Yugi, Rafael gave his "The Seal of Orichalcos" to Yami, using " Exchange". He believes the Pharaoh, Yami Yugi, was evil and thus desires his soul above all others. Rafael believed that he was following his set destiny, and proceeded to capture many souls. Rafael obviously cared a great deal about his partners as he showed concern for Valon after he fell in love with Mai and was visibly upset when Alister lost his soul. Like Rafael, Alister and Valon had their childhoods tragically manipulated and destroyed by Dartz. Rafael did not know that Dartz drove the ship that his family was separated from him on into the tidal wave til too late.Īt some point after joining Dartz, Rafael met Alister and Valon. He was then seduced by a Dark Guardian and given " The Seal of Orichalcos" card and a Chaos Duel Disk, and became one of the many minions of Dartz. He traveled more and eventually went with Dartz to a graveyard and tortured by digging where he finds the skulls from his siblings' corpses, confirming that his family had died in the shipwreck (the skulls were removed from the dub version). In the dub, his family survived but forgot about him. However, he never appeared in public outside of Duels since people simply wanted to take advantage of him. Rafael made his living by becoming a Duelist, eventually becoming the first Duelist to become the first national champion in the United States, a feat that was believed to be accomplished by Rebecca. Meanwhile, strangers simply wanted his fame. His surviving relatives took his dad's inheritance and wanted nothing to do with Rafael. In the original, Rafael's parents were presumed dead as he visited their graves. Rafael became conscious aboard his raft and was then rescued by a fishing boat where his rescue was on the front page of the magazine. There, Dartz's voice told him to remember his voice for they would meet again. But as he got near, it disappeared and he was pulled down underneath the sea by a tidal wave. Upon building a raft, Rafael quickly sailed towards it. One day, Rafael saw a city right off the island.

As a result the family was killed and he was the only survivor (in the dub the story was changed to say that the family survived and had forgotten about him). During his birthday when he received his gift of " Guardian Eatos", Rafael was separated from his family, on a luxury cruise, the boat went off course and directly into a tidal wave. He had a younger sister and a younger brother, Sonia and Julian. Rafael came from a very wealthy family, and led a perfect life. Rafael receives " Guardian Eatos" as a birthday present. ![]()
