Card Appearances:Battle Ox

Yu-Gi-Oh!

 * "Battle Ox" was a Level 6 monster on the original manga, but it was changed to Level 4 for the anime to avoid conflicts with real OCG. It also had the following effect:


 * This card was originally played on the first duel between Yami Yugi and Seto Kaiba, that took place only in the original manga and the first series anime. Seto used this monster to destroy Yugi's Blackland Fire Dragon, and then increased its strength trough Megamorph to ATK 2040/DEF 1200, in order to destroy Yugi's Mystical Elf. Battle Ox continued to destroy Yugi's monster for several turns until it was defeated by Summoned Skull.


 * When Yugi dueled the Mimic of Doom, the Mimic of Doom summoned this monster during his first turn to remind Yugi of his first duel against Kaiba. This would have created a conflict in the second series anime since that duel was omitted. Thus, Battle Ox was changed to Hitotsu-Me Giant for the second series anime.


 * Seto Summoned this card to destroy Joey's Armored Lizard and Flame Swordsman, and then fuses it with Mystic Horseman to Fusion Summon Rabid Horseman. This was the first apparition of this card on the second series anime.


 * This card appeared next in the duel between Yugi and Kaiba atop Pegasus' castle, where it destroyed Yugi's Silver Fang. It was destroyed in the next turn by Yugi's Griffore, whose attack had been increased by Horn of the Unicorn.


 * Its final appearance in the Duelist Kingdom arc was during Kaiba's duel against Pegasus, where Kaiba played it in face-down defense position. It was destroyed by Dark Rabbit, whose attack had been increased by Negative Energy Generator.


 * Its attack name in the anime and manga has been called "Sweep Axe" 「豪腕アックス」 and "Axe Crusher" ｢ 斧断砕(アックス・クラッシャー) ｣ in the Japanese version and "Axe Slam Attack" in the English version.
