Unlike the previous Duel Disk, it did not need to be thrown. When it first appeared in the anime, sealers flew out of the Duel Disk to the sides of the Dueling area to produce the [[Solid Vision]] holograms. These were removed later. In the manga the holograms were projected straight from the Duel Disk itself.
The [[Monster Card Zone]] is along an arm blade. The [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]] is a series of slots behind each Monster Zone. In the anime, the blade could be folded up when not in use. In the manga, it could not be folded up, nor do the sealers that produce the Solid Vision make an appearance. In the manga, there is no Spell & Trap Card Zone slots, but instead the Monster Card Zone serves an all purpose for every card; whether this limits to a maximum of five cards on the field per player or not is not determined.
Directly underneath each [[Monster Card|monster]] slot is another slot for [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card]]s. If a Duelist was to activate a [[Set]] card, they would activate a button on the round portion of the disk. Another slot can open on the front end of the disk that is used for the [[Field Spell Card]]. The center of the disk includes the [[Main Deck]] and [[Graveyard]] slot and [[Life Points|Life Point]] counter. The bottom part of the Disk, which goes around the user's arm, also contains a retractable cable that could be attached to [[Dueling Arena]]s if one player opted not to use a Duel Disk.
