In episode 94, Ishizu sets this card and selected her "Zorga" for this card's effect. After Kaiba activates "Soul Exchange" to allow himself to Tribute "Zorga", "Kelbek", and "Agido" in order to Tribute Summon "Obelisk the Tormentor", this card's effect began to affect "Obelisk". Before Kaiba could attack directly with "Obelisk the Tormentor", he saw a vision via the Millennium Rod and decided to beat Ishizu with his "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" instead. After Kaiba activates "Silent Doom" to revive "Gadget Soldier", he Tributes "Obelisk" and "Gadget Soldier" to summon "Blue-Eyes White Dragon". Because "Obelisk" was removed from the field, this card was destroyed much to Ishizu's shock.
