Featured Duel: Seto Kaiba vs. Ishizu Ishtar, Part 1[]
Turn 1: Kaiba
Kaiba draws "Vorse Raider" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1900/1200) in Attack Position. He then Sets a card.
Turn 2: Ishizu
Ishizu draws "Keldo" and subsequently Normal Summons it (without even looking at it first) (1200/1600) in Defense Position. She then activates "Michizure of Doom" to discard two cards from both duelists' hands. Kaiba discards "Polymerization" and "Kaiser Glider" (Ishizu declares them without even looking at Kaiba's hand), while Ishizu discards "Revival Magic" and "Monster Reborn". Ishizu's hand now contains "Mudora" and "Zolga". Both players then draw two cards, though this was never mentioned or shown.
Turn 3: Kaiba
Kaiba draws. "Vorse Raider" attacks and destroys "Keldo". Kaiba's hand contains "Shrink", "Soul Exchange", "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", and two unknown Magic Cards. Kaiba Sets a card.
Turn 4: Ishizu
Ishizu draws "Exchange of the Spirit". She then Normal Summons "Mudora" (1500/1800) in Attack Position. Ishizu then activates "Sword of Dogra", equipping it to "Mudora" and increasing its ATK by 500 ("Mudora": 1500 → 2000/1800). "Mudora" attacks "Vorse Raider", but Kaiba activates his face-down "Shrink" to halve the ATK of "Vorse Raider" ("Vorse Raider" 1900 → 950/1200). "Mudora" destroys "Vorse Raider" (Kaiba 4000 → 2950), but Kaiba activates his face-down "Crush Card" to destroy every monster in Ishizu's hand, Deck, and field with 1500 or more ATK; "Mudora" is destroyed. Ishizu then activates "Swords of Revealing Light" to prevent every monster Kaiba has on the field from attacking for the next three turns. She then sets a card.
Turn 5: Kaiba
Kaiba's hand contains "Soul Exchange", "Virus Cannon", "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and "The Flute of Summoning Dragon". Kaiba draws "Dark Gremlin" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1600/1800) in Attack Position. He then Sets a card ("Virus Cannon").

Differences in adaptations[]
- Cut from the dub is a shot of Joey clenching his fist in anger at Yami Marik.
- Cut is a shot of the Duel tower rising when the Duel starts.
- In the original, when Joey believed Ishizu's predicting powers to be a trick, he notes that it was was similar to his Duelist Kingdom Duel with Mai Valentine. In the dub, he notes it was similar to his Duel with Espa Roba.
- In the dub, Kaiba calls "Virus Cannon" a Magic Card, though it is shown as a Trap Card. It was a Magic Card in the Japanese version.
- In the English dub, Kaiba calls Marik insane, and Ishizu vows to make Kaiba pay for that insult, and Yami Marik agrees with Kaiba. In the original Japanese version, neither Kaiba nor Marik speak at this time; Ishizu thinks that it's forbidden to see the future in a Duel, but it's for her brother. Afterwards, she'll atone for her guilt by devoting her life to the Egyptian Gods.
Errors[]
- When "Shrink" halves the ATK of "Vorse Raider", the latter's ATK is shown at 1950 instead of 1900 before it becomes 950.
