Editing Obelisk the Tormentor (section)

=== Battle City ===
Three millennia later, [[Maximillion Pegasus]] created cards representing the Egyptian Gods for his game, Duel Monsters. However, the gods’ souls inhabited the cards, making them dangerously powerful. Recognizing this as a grave mistake, Pegasus attempted to destroy the cards but ultimately entrusted them to the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities for safekeeping. The council buried them in the Valley of the Kings, though Rare Hunters later stole "Slifer the Sky Dragon" and "The Winged Dragon of Ra." However, they failed to find "Obelisk the Tormentor," which was given to [[Seto Kaiba]] by [[Ishizu Ishtar]] to host the Battle City tournament and recover the other God cards.

Kaiba wielded Obelisk during the Battle City preliminaries, showcasing its might in several Duels. In his quarterfinal against Ishizu, her Millennium Necklace foresaw her victory through the destruction of Obelisk. However, a vision of Priest Seto and Kisara inspired Kaiba to summon "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" by tributing Obelisk, securing his win instead.

In the semifinals against Yami Yugi, Kaiba pitted Obelisk against Slifer. Their clash caused both Gods to be destroyed, triggering a shared vision of an ancient city where the statues of Slifer and Obelisk stood as Priest Seto and Pharaoh Atem dueled. Following Kaiba’s loss, he gave Yami Yugi the Obelisk card per tournament rules. Yami Yugi later used it in the final match against [[Yami Marik]].
