Changes

Ishizu [[Seto Kaiba]] in the anime, gets Kaiba's attention at the start of the second series anime adaptation during her first and only duel against him as she flawlessly predicted Kaiba's every strategic move and causing him to squirm. Ishizu gracefully manipulated every move he made and foiled his strategies causing her to toy with Kaiba's mind nearly humiliating him with a loss. Though Ishizu lost the duel, the loss taught her a valuable lesson of greater importance about the nature of destiny as it gave her hope for changing her brother's future relying on the wisdom and strength of the people around her for eventually eradicating Marik's evil trapped within. She also converses with Kaiba before he goes off to detonate the Battle City duel tower to bury the tournament past behind him as burying Kaiba's hatred for his stepfather. Kaiba was then forewarned by her about how his tournament is more than just him and his personal family and dueling matters. She advised Kaiba to be present for the final duel for the Battle City tournament to assist Yami Yugi in fulfilling his dueling destiny by defeating Yami Marik. She warned Kaiba walking away from the tournament is a huge mistake and forewarned that his entire future is at stake. Ishizu also scolds him for Kaiba's hesitance in helping Yami Yugi as well as denying his ancient Egyptian heritage by reasoning with him stating that he'll suffer the consequences and the fate of the entire world will suffer as a result of his obstinate stubbornness by turning back on mankind. She also lectures Kaiba that he was destined to organize the event guided by a force beyond his control and how his modern day rivalry with Yugi has been in existence for thousands of years. In addition, Ishizu also informs Kaiba about how his rivalry with Yugi as his past incarnation as skilled sorcerer constantly challenged the pharoah and with the sorcerer's help, the pharoah was eventually able to save his own people. Ishizu's concerned coaxing eventually convinced Kaiba by forcing one card to help Yami Yugi take down Marik's Winged Dragon of Ra.
