'''Alcatraz''' , or Duel Tower in the English anime, was the name of an island, used by [[KaibaCorp]] initially as a militrary military base and later became host to a massive Duel Tower.
The location is named after the real world island, [[wikipedia:Alcatraz Island|Alcatraz]], which was formely formerly used for militrary military activity and later a maximum security prison, which has since been closed.
==History==
===Military center===
The tower itself is built on a small island. While [[Gozaburo Kaiba]] was in change charge of [[KaibaCorp]], the island was used for KaibaCorp's military base.
After [[Seto Kaiba]] came into power, he tore down the military base and constructed the Duel Tower on its ruions ruins to emphasis the company's shift from military to gaming.
===Battle City===

The inside of the tower was used to stage a battle royale to determine the match-ups for the semi-finals. Each finalist stood in an elevator like platform in a corner of the room. As their Life Points lowered, they were lifted higher up. The first two to the top, would face each other in the first semi-final round and the remaining two would face each other in the second.
With Kaiba set on facing [[Yugi Muto]], [[Joey Wheeler]] set on facing [[Marik Ishtar]] and Yugi supporting Joey's choice, Marik and Joey's Life Points hit 0 first, pairing them up for the first semi-final and leaving Yugi and Kaiba for the second.
After the Battle City finals, Seto and [[Mokuba Kaiba]] had the building self-destruct to get rid of their memories of living with Gozaburo.
