Card Appearances:Blue-Eyes White Dragon

Yu-Gi-Oh!

Notes

• In Yu-Gi-Oh!, this card is the signature card of Seto Kaiba. Much of his deck centers around ways of quickly summoning it; indeed, even his private jet is modeled around the dragon.

• Kaiba has a great fondness for these cards, going so far as to place statues of them in front of buildings that he owns, model many buildings and rides in Kaibaland USA after them, and even design his own private jet to look like them.

• Its attack name is White Lightning in the dub and Destruction Burst Stream in the original.
  • When powered up by Mystical Elf's anime-only effect its attack is called Obliterate in the dub and Holy Burst Stream in the original.

Pre-Duelist Kingdom Arc

• When this card first appeared, it was famous for the fact that only four of them were ever printed. Yugi Muto's grandfather, Solomon Muto had one of them and when Kaiba saw it, he attempted to buy it, but was refused. Kaiba later stole the card from Yugi, and used it in a shadow game with Yami Yugi. Towards the end of the duel, he slips this card onto the top of his deck, and attempts to use it to destroy Yugi's "Summoned Skull", but the dragon refuses, as it belongs to Yugi's grandpa. The dragon destroyed itself upon the command, and Yugi resurrected it with "Monster Reborn" to attack Kaiba directly, winning the duel.

• By Kaiba's next appearance (in the DEATH-T arc), he has the remaining three copies of this card all in his deck (acquired by illegal means). Confident of his deck, he challenged Solomon to a duel, and although Solomon drew his "Blue-Eyes" first, Kaiba destroyed it with his own three "Blue-Eyes", winning the duel. Afterwards, he tears the card in half so that it cannot ever be used against him, as a duelist can only have three copies of any card in his deck.

• When Kaiba duels Yugi at the final battlefield of DEATH-T, he summons one of these to destroy Yugi's "Gaia The Fierce Knight". He later summons the other two to destroy "Horn Imp" and "Dark Magician". All three were destroyed when Yugi summoned "Exodia".

• In episode 1, Kaiba learned that Solomon Muto had the fourth Blue-Eyes card he was searching for after hearing a conversation that Yugi and Joey were having. He tried to buy the card, but Solomon refused. Kaiba then challenged Solomon to a duel and defeated him. Later Yugi and his friends learned about this and found Solomon badly injured from the duel. To the horror of Yugi, Solomon, and Yugi's friends, Kaiba tore up the fourth Blue-Eyes card in front of their eyes, as he believes this way no Blue-Eyes could ever be used against him. Kaiba uses this card in his duel against Yami Yugi. After Kaiba summons this card, he uses this card to attack and destroy "Gaia The Fierce Knight". He would then use this card to destroy "Horn Imp" and "Beaver Warrior" on the next two turns before he summons a second copy of this card. Yugi then activates "Swords of Revealing Light" to keep both copies from attacking for three turns. Kaiba would later summon his last copy to the field. The last copy then attacks and destroys Yugi's "Dark Magician". On the End Phase, the effect of "Swords of Revealing Light" expires. Yugi would then gather all five pieces of Exodia and summon Exodia. Exodia then attacks and destroys all three copies, winning Yugi the Duel.
  • In the Uncut edition of the anime released by 4Kids, the attack is called Burst Stream of Destruction.

Duelist Kingdom

• In episode 8, this card can be seen as the bottom card of Kaiba's Deck when Pegasus' goons check to make sure it is the Deck that Pegasus was talking about. They then take the Deck and give it to Ghost Kaiba for his Duel against Yugi Muto.
  • Three copies of this card are also shown in a flashback Kaiba has when he remembers losing to Yugi and Yugi claiming that he needs to put his heart into his cards and the game to win against him.

• In episode 9, Ghost Kaiba uses this card during his Duel against Yugi. After Ghost Kaiba summoning this card, Yugi tries to switch his "Dark Magician" into Defense Position and summon "Curse of Dragon" in Defense Position, but Ghost Kaiba activates "Defense Paralysis" to switch Yugi's monsters into Attack Position. This card then attacks and destroys Yugi's "Curse of Dragon". Yugi then activates "Magical Hats" to hide his "Dark Magician" within one of four hats. This card then attacks a hat. In the next episode, the hat is revealed to be empty. On the imposter's next turn, he uses this card to attack another hat, but this hat is revealed to contain "Spellbinding Circle" which immobilizes this card and reduces its ATK by 700. Yugi then released his "Dark Magician" from the hat it was hiding in. "Dark Magician" then attacks and destroys this card. The impostor Kaiba then summons a second copy and uses it to attack and destroy "Dark Magician". The real Kaiba then hacks into the duel's hologram computers and started to decrease its ATK shortly when it was Ghost Kaiba's turn again, but only managed to reduce its ATK to 2000 due to Pegasus's intervention. This card then attacks Yugi's "Feral Imp", but before the attack hits, Kaiba called out to Yugi as he did not want Yugi to lose to an imposter of himself. This card heard the call of its true master too and as such shattered itself, leaving the impostor with an empty field. The third "Blue-Eyes" was eventually summoned after a few turns. This card then attacks "Mystical Elf", but Yugi activates "Mirror Force" to destroy all Attack Position monsters the imposter controls, however the imposter activates "Negate Attack" to negate the attack and end the Battle Phase. Yugi then activates "Monster Reborn" to revive one of the imposters' copies onto his side of the field. Yugi then activates the effect of "Mystical Elf" to transfer its ATK to his copy, raising its ATK to 4100. Yugi's copy then attacks and destroys the impostor's copy, winning Yugi the duel. After the Duel, Yugi takes Kaiba's Deck with him and notes in his mind that Kaiba helped him defeat the imposter.
  • In the first above-mentioned episode, three copies of this card are shown in a flashback Kaiba has when he tells his computer that Yugi has Exodia which should be more than enough to beat Pegasus. After remembering Yugi using Exodia against him, Kaiba becomes angered at his loss. However the computer states to Kaiba that Yugi lost his Exodia cards at some point before he got to Duelist Kingdom which shocks Kaiba.
  • In the second above-mentioned episode, this card appears on Kaiba's computer as soon as he and the computer get inside arena 146 and find out that Yugi is dueling Ghost Kaiba who is using Kaiba's Deck.
  • In the second above-mentioned episode, this card appears in the computer's explanation when it explains how Yugi defeated the first copy of this card.
  • In the second above-mentioned episode, this card appeared on Pegasus' television screen while he was watching Yugi and Ghost Kaiba's duel unfold. After the virus Kaiba uploaded into the second "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" takes effect, Pegasus deduces the real Kaiba is alive. A remote terminal then stops the virus from reducing the ATK of the second copy by the time the virus removed 1000 ATK from the second copy.

In the second above-mentioned episode, this card is shown at the bottom of Kaiba's Deck when Yugi is about to take it with him.

• In episode 16, Yugi returns this card and the rest of Kaiba's Deck to Kaiba when he meets Yugi and his friends again. Kaiba later uses this card during his Duel against Joey Wheeler. He summons this card on the last turn of the Duel. This card then attacks and destroys "Red-Eyes B. Dragon", defeating Joey.
  • Three copies of this card are also shown in a flashback Kaiba has when he remembers Yugi using Exodia to wipe out his three "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" and win the Duel. Yugi claimed in said flashback that Kaiba lost due to playing only for power. Kaiba thinks he should fight Yugi again, but he first must use his new Duel Disk system to defeat Maximillion Pegasus.

• In episode 17, this card appears within Joey's nightmare when he is being chased by this monster. Suddenly Kaiba appears in front of him and calls Joey a loser which Joey isn't happy about, but Kaiba continuously calls him this and Joey eventually finds himself wearing a dog suit. This continues until a dew drop lands on Joey's face and he wakes up.

• In episode 22, this card was shown in Kaiba's hand during his Duel against Yami Yugi. In the next episode, Yugi noticed that this card was in Kaiba's hand when he activates "The Eye of Truth". Yugi wonders why Kaiba didn't play this card yet, but decides not to make this the current issue for the moment as he had to get rid of Kaiba's "La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp" and "Ancient Lamp". Kaiba later summons this card. This card then attacks and destroys Yugi's "Griffore" (whose ATK was 1900 due it being equipped with "Horn of the Unicorn"). Kaiba later activates "Polymerization" to fuse all three copies together to Fusion Summon this "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon".
  • In the first above-mentioned episode, three copies of this card appear within Kaiba's thoughts when he notes to himself that his true aim in this Duel is to summon "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon".
  • In the second above-mentioned episode, three copies of this card appear within Kaiba's thoughts when he notes his goal on fusing his three "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" together to form "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon". The only difficulty, according to Kaiba, would be drawing "Polymerization".

• In episode 26, Kaiba uses this card during his Duel against Maximillion Pegasus. Kaiba drew this card on his first turn, but chose not play it. Later Kaiba tries to summon this card, but Pegasus activates "Prophecy" and declares the monster Kaiba was about to summon had over 2000 ATK. Since Pegasus was correct, the summon is negated and this card is added to Pegasus's hand. In the next episode, Pegasus summons this card. "Toon World" then transform this card into the "Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon". Kaiba later drew a second copy and summoned it. He then used this card to attack the "Toon Dragon", but the attack failed since "Toon" monsters can't destroyed by normal monsters. Pegasus then activates "Shine Palace" to increase the ATK of "Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon" by 500. "Toon Dragon" then attacks this card, but Kaiba activates "Negate Attack" to negate the attack. Kaiba then activates "Shadow Spell" to hold the "Toon Dragon" down and decrease its ATK by 700. This card then attacks and destroys the "Toon Dragon". Pegasus then activates "Dragon Capture Jar" to seal this card into it and increase the DEF of "Dragon Capture Jar" by this card's DEF. Later Pegasus summons "Dragon Piper" and planned to turn this card into a Toon Monster just like he did to Kaiba's previous copy. Kaiba then attacks "Dragon Piper" with "Swordstalker", but Pegasus activates "Doppelganger" to copy the effect of "Crush Card Virus". "Swordstalker" then destroys "Dragon Piper", this allows Pegasus to activate the effect of "Crush Card Virus", which destroys "Swordstalker" and every monster in Kaiba's Deck that had over 1500 ATK.

Post Duelist Kingdom

• In episode 41, Rebecca Hawkins demanded to Solomon Muto that she wants her grandfather's copy of this card back. Yugi Muto and his friends had a problem with this as Kaiba destroyed it earlier after he defeated Solomon in a Duel. When Rebecca challenged Solomon to a duel, Yugi Muto declared he would duel her instead (as his grandfather just got out of the hospital. In the next episode, Yugi surrenders the duel and Rebecca demands the card back. Solomon reluctantly showed it to her and (to her shock) she sees it is torn in half and is held back up with tape. Rebecca then believes that Solomon tore it in half, but Solomon tries to tell her he would never do such a thing, but Rebecca stubbornly refused to believe him until her grandfather appeared and told her to behave herself. Arthur made it clear that Solomon was telling the truth and Rebecca, realizing this, forgives him.

This frees the copy that was trapped in the jar. The two dragons were used to destroyed all of the "Armed Ninjas". Later Kaiba summons this card during the battle against the Big Five's "Five-Headed Dragon". This card and the other summoned dragons ("Red-Eyes B.

He then activates "Polymerization" to fuse the three copies together and Fusion Summon "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon".

"Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End" then attacks "Brunhilde", but Zigfried decreases the DEF of "Valkyrie Brunhilde" by 1000 in order to prevent its destruction, so only "Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End" was destroyed. The ATK of "Valkyrie Brunhilde" then decreases to 2700. This card then attacks "Valkyrie Brunhilde", but Zigfried lowers the latter's DEF by 1000 in order to prevent its destruction, but Zigfried still takes Battle Damage from the attack.

Dawn of the Duel

• In episode 200, Kaiba uses this card during his Duel against Yami Bakura. He summons this card via "The Flute of Summoning Dragon". This card then attacks Bakura's "Diabound Kernel", but Bakura activates "Spirit Shield" and uses the latter's effect to banish "Headless Knight" from the Graveyard and end the Battle Phase. Bakura then equips "Grief Tablet" onto "Lord of D.", negating its effects. Bakura then uses the effect of his Doppelganger Token (who had the stats and effects of "Diabound Kernel") to equip it onto this card, decreasing its ATk by 1800. "Diabound Kernel" then attacks this card, but Kaiba activates "Attack Guidance Armor" to redirect the attack to "Lord of D.", destroying it instead. "Grief Tablet" then inflicts 500 damage to Kaiba. Kaiba later Tributes this card and "Vorse Raider" to summon a second copy of this card. This card then attacks and destroys "Diabound Kernel". Bakura then activates "Rebirth Tablet" to revive "Diabound Kernel". He then activates "Mirror Tablet" to increase the ATK of "Diabound Kernel" by half of this card's ATK and force this card to battle "Diabound Kernel". "Diabound Kernel" then destroys this card. Kaiba then activates "Monster Reborn" to revive one of the two copies in his Graveyard, but Bakura (his mission to absorb this monster's attack power was now accomplished) left without finishing the duel.

• During this arc, this card is revealed to be the spirit of Kisara, as well as the patron monster of the Priest Seto (who Kaiba is a reincarnation of), and is identified as the only monster whose power is greater than that of the "Egyptian Gods".

• In episode 218, Zorc Necrophades manages to defeat this monster (who was the spirit of Kisara) and destroy it when Priest Seto tries to use this monster to defeat Zorc. Kaiba becomes so enraged at this that he confronts Zorc himself. Kaiba then summons this card and uses it to combat Zorc. Zorc however is unimpressed and claims his fate won't be any different. However Kaiba then pulls out two other copies of this card in order to have his three "Blue-Eyes" merge together (representing the souls of himself, the priest Seto, and Kisara) in order to form "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon".
