*Last Duel of the Battle City Quarter-finals.
*Ishizu uses her [[Millennium Necklace]] to predict Seto's moves.
*Seto tries to use [[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the Tormentor]], but the [[Millennium Rod]] activates, telling him the only way to defeat Ishizu is by using the [[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]].
*The [[Millennium Necklace]] is beaten by the [[Millennium Rod]].
=Notes=
*In this Duel's final turn, the timing of activation for Kaiba's "[[Soul Exchange]]" is unclear to determine: is it at the end of Ishizu's turn or during his own turn? It is however very likely that "Soul Exchange" is played as a [[Quick-Play Spell Cards|Quick-Play Spell Card]] at the end of Ishizu's turn, otherwise Ishizu would have been free to attack Kaiba directly with her 3 monsters and win the duel. In this case however, the anime bends the rules a little because "[[Soul Exchange]]" is supposed to be a [[Normal Spell Cards|Normal Spell Card]].
*Similarly, due to the particular way in which "[[Blast Held by a Tribute|Sacrifice Blast]]" (a.k.a. "Blast Held by a Tribute") works in the <u>anime</u>, it is shown to activate immediately after Kaiba takes control of Ishizu's monsters. In a subsequent scene displaying the Arena (after Kaiba summons his "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]") both Duelists are shown to have no cards face-down on the field. This confirms that Ishizu's card has already been "activated", unbeknownst to Kaiba. This also significantly bends the real-game rules, since "[[Blast Held by a Tribute|Sacrifice Blast]]" would have to remain on the field until it is activated (presumably, at the moment of "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]'s" attack). This requirement is however skipped for dramatic effect.
=Featured Duel: Seto Kaiba vs. Ishizu Ishtar - Part 2=
<u>'''Ishizu's turn'''</u><br />
[[Set]]s 1 card ([[Normal Trap Cards|Trap Card]] "[[Blast Held by a Tribute|Sacrifice Blast]]"). In the anime, Ishizu reveals (to the viewers, thinking to herself) that this Trap has already begun infusing its power into one of Ishizu's monsters ("[[Zolga]]"), so that when Kaiba uses "[[Soul Exchange]]" to seize its control and tribute it, it will be transferred to the Tribute Summoned monster i.e. Kaiba's "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]". And once Seto attacks her with Obelisk, he will lose. [[Normal Summon]]s "[[Agido]]" (1500 [[ATK]] / 1300 [[DEF]]). [[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba]] [[activate]]s [[Normal Spell Cards|Magic Card]] "[[Soul Exchange]]" to take control of "[[Zolga]]", "[[Kelbek]]", and "[[Agido]]" and [[tribute]]s his three new monsters to [[Tribute Summon]] "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]" in [[Attack Position]] (4000 [[ATK]] / 4000 [[DEF]]).
<u>'''Kaiba's turn'''</u><br />
[[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba]] is about to order "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]" to [[attack]], but [[Marik Ishtar|Yami Marik]]'s [[Millennium Rod]] [[activate]]s, giving [[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba]] a vision of the past. He is an [[Priest Seto|ancient priest]] carrying a [[Kisara|woman]] while standing in front of a stone tablet showing the "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]". This convinces him to change his strategy. Kaiba [[activate]]s [[Normal Spell Cards|Magic Card]] "[[Silent Doom]]" to [[Special Summon]] "[[Gadget Soldier]]" in [[Defense Position]] (1800 [[ATK]] / 2000 [[DEF]]). Tributes "[[Gadget Soldier]]" and "[[Obelisk the Tormentor (original)|Obelisk the Tormentor]]" to [[Tribute Summon]] "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" in [[Attack Position]] (3000 [[ATK]] / 2500 [[DEF]]) (thus [[Negate|negating]] "[[Blast Held by a Tribute|Sacrifice Blast]]" secretly infused in Obelisk). "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" [[Direct attack|attacks]] [[Ishizu Ishtar|Ishizu]] directly ([[Ishizu Ishtar|Ishizu]]: 1400 → 0 [[Life Points]]).
Kaiba wins.
