Later Rafael uses this card to attack and destroy Yami Yugi's set "Big Shield Gardna". In the following episode, "Kuribabylon" (whose ATK was 4500 due to it being powered up by its own effect and "The Seal of Orichalcos") attacks and destroys this card. Because this card was sent to the Graveyard, Rafael's "Purity of the Cemetery" was destroyed. Later Rafael activates "Monster Rebirth" to return this card from his Graveyard to his deck.

This card, "Eatos", and "Kay'est" became the spirits that would protect and help Rafael while he was on the island that he was stranded on. The three cards were nearly swept off into the ocean, but Rafael saves them and keeps them close to a fire to dry them off. After a while, Rafael rows to a new island on a new raft, but gets stopped by a pillar of light. When he wakes up, he finds himself lying on his raft, but a boat comes to his rescue. After Rafael returns to civilization, he soon meets the voice he heard while on the raft. The island that he saw before comes into view and Dartz offers Rafael to help him rebuild civilization to how it should have been. He creates a pillar path that Rafael and his three Guardians travel across as they head towards the island.

Later this card attacks and destroys "King's Knight". On Yami Yugi's next turn, he activates the effect of "Kuriboo" to decrease this card's ATK by 1500 until the End Phase. After Yami Yugi summons "Kuribabylon", he activates "Mystical Space Typhoon" to destroy "Gravity Axe - Grarl" and decrease this card's ATK by 500.
