Card Appearances:Swords of Revealing Light

Yu-Gi-Oh!

 * In episode 24 of the first series anime, Yami Yugi plays this card against Seto Kaiba. He uses it to stall until he draws the final pieces of Exodia.


 * In episode 1 of the second series anime, Yami Yugi plays this card against Kaiba once more, as this duel is based off the one from the first series. Its effect could not prevent the attack of monsters who were Summoned after is activation. In future appearances, its effect was the same as the TCG/OCG version. This card was able to prevent the two Blue-Eyes Kaiba already had out from attacking, but "Judge Man" and Kaiba's third Blue-Eyes were able to attack since they were summoned after this card was activated. On the second to last turn of the duel, the effect of this card expires.


 * In episode 14, Yami Yugi shows this card to PaniK during their Duel and claims it will be the card he needs to win this Duel. He then sets a card face-down. PaniK, thinking that Yami Yugi Set this card, Normal Summons "Reaper of the Cards". He then activates the effect of "Reaper of the Cards" to reveal the set card with the intention of destroying this card with the effect of "Reaper of the Cards", but the set card turns out to be "Spellbinding Circle" which immobilizes "Reaper of the Cards" and decreases its ATK by 700. In the next episode, Yugi plays this card after "King of Yamimakai" unintentionally attacks and destroys "Reaper of the Cards". This reveals the monsters PaniK had hidden via "Castle of Dark Illusions". After playing it, PaniK plays "Chaos Shield" to switch his monsters into Defense Position and raise their DEF. Later Yami Yugi uses the effect of "Catapult Turtle" to launch "Gaia the Dragon Champion" at the castle, destroying its "flotation ring". Once the effect of this card expired, the castle came crashing down on PaniK's monsters as it was the only thing holding it up. This destroys PaniK's monsters and wins Yami Yugi the duel.


 * In episode 23, this card is in Yami Yugi's hand. Kaiba uses "De-Spell" to destroy it.


 * In episode 30, Yami Yugi plays this card against Mai Valentine, successfully stalling her long enough until he drew "Black Luster Ritual" which was the necessary card he needed to Summon "Black Luster Soldier".


 * In episode 33, this card appears when Yami Yugi explains to Joey that Duel Monsters is about the balance between Monsters and Spell and Trap Cards.

 * In episode 53, this card appears on a poster that Yugi and Téa read when they find a game store that was selling Duel Monster cards.


 * In episode 56, this card was shown in Seeker's hand during his Duel against Yami Yugi. In the next episode, Seeker activates this card in an attempt to stall until he drew the final Exodia piece. Yami would later destroy this card with "Dust Tornado". This card can be seen in his hand in the previous episode. In the former mentioned episode, another copy of this card can be seen when Yugi searches Seeker's Deck and takes "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" out of the Deck.


 * In episode 87, Odion Ishtar plays this card against Joey, stalling until he can Summon "Mystical Beast Serket". It is still on the Field during the first turn featured in the next episode. This card's effect also expired once that turn ended.

 * In episode 124, this card is shown in a flashback that Joey has when he remembers all the Duelists he faced on his way to the Battle City Finals.


 * In episode 148, this card is seen among piles of cards in Rex's fantasy when he thinks the reason why Pegasus invited Yugi and his friends was because he wanted to give them rare cards just for them.


 * In episode 158, Rafael plays this card against Yami Yugi. Despite Rafael using this to prevent Yami from attacking, Yami claimed this card meant nothing. Yami then proved this by summoning "Catapult Turtle" and using its effect to inflict damage to Rafael while carelessly tributing his monsters to do so. Rafael quickly used "Limit Tribute" and "Nightmare Binding" to stall for some time as well as prevent Yami Yugi from Tributing "Kuribabylon" for the effect of "Catapult Turtle". On the second to last turn of the duel, the effects of "Swords of Revealing Light" expires.


 * In episode 160, this card appears in a flashback Yami Yugi has when he remembers using "Dark Magician Girl" for "Catapult Turtle's" effect.


 * In episode 163, Yami Yugi plays this card against Yugi. He hoped to stall for time until he could come up with a strategy to turn the Duel around, but Yugi used the same strategy Yami used against Rafael(which was summoning "Catapult Turtle" and using its effect just for his own good). When he tributed "Dark Magician Girl" to activate "Catapult Turtle"'s effect, Yami used "Divine Wind" to redirect the damage back at Yugi and double the said damage inflicted to him, winning Yami Yugi the duel. By doing this, Yami Yugi was able to conquer the darkness in his heart and regain control over his emotions.
 * In the same episode, this card appears in a flashback that Yami Yugi has when he remembers the strategy he used against Rafael that was not only ruthless but also selfish.


 * In episode 200, this card appears within Yami Yugi's mind when Yami Bakura claims to him that his mind is an unsolvable maze and that he pursues games like riddles.
 * This card also appears within Kaiba's briefcase when he opens it up and takes his Duel Disk with him.


 * In episode 221, Yugi plays this card against Yami Yugi to prevent Yami Yugi from attacking his monsters with "The Tricky". However, Yami transfers its effect to Yugi using "Bounce" when Yugi tries to attack "The Tricky" with "Stronghold the Moving Fortress'. Yugi later made this card's effect expire early by using "Turn Jump".
