Biography

Childhood

Battle City

Ishizu traveled to Japan to oversee the dynastic exhibit, The Art of Egypt. This took place in Domino City Museum and showcased stone slabs, depicting ka battles, from which Duel Monsters originated. She invited Seto Kaiba to the museum and showed him the slabs.[2] Kaiba was astonished to see that the depicted Nameless Pharaoh resembled his classmate, Yugi Mutou. Although Ishizu claimed not to know who Yugi was. She told Kaiba about the Egyptian God cards and tasked him with retrieving them from the Ghouls, through hosting a Duel Monsters tournament. To bait the Ghouls into coming, she gave him one of the God cards "The God of the Obelisk". Kaiba asked what if he acquired the three God cards, but refused to let them go, to which Ishizu replied that she trusted him.[3]

With the Millennium Tauk, Ishizu predicted Yugi would visit the museum. When Dark Yugi arrived, with Anzu Mazaki, and saw the slabs, she approached him. She told him that a great battle would soon be taking place and that he must gather the seven Millennium Items to regain his memories. Seeing Ishizu's own Millennium Item, Dark Yugi asked if she was an enemy. She denied being an enemy, but said that the enemy who was about to appear possessed the last Millennium Item, Dark Yugi was to encounter.[4]

Ishizu took part Kaiba's Battle City tournament and was the last to qualify as one of the eight finalists.[5] She abstained from attending lottery selections determining the pairings for the quarterfinals, as she had already predicted their results.[6][7][8]
