- In most video games, such as the Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force and Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship series, using this card is the only way the opponent AI will ever surrender the Duel. If the player successfully inflicts battle damage with this card while the opponent controls no cards and has no cards in their hand, the opponent will be stuck in an inescapable lockdown, as the player can continuously skip the next Draw Phase and prevent the AI from ever being able to play or use any cards.
