From Free net encyclopedia

(Redirected from Isis Ishtar)

Ishizu Ishtar (イシズ・イシュタール Ishizu Ishutāru) is a character in the manga Yu-Gi-Oh! and the second series Yu-Gi-Oh! anime (known as Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters in Asia). Her name is sometimes rendered by fans as Isis Ishtar. In the Philippines, her name is dubbed Eunice instead of Ishizu.

Ishizu is the sister of Marik Ishtar (commonly rendered "Malik"). She became a museum curator in order to lure Yugi Mutou (Yugi Muto in the English anime) and Seto Kaiba in order to save Marik from his darker alter ego, Dark Marik (Yami Marik). She is also the reincarnation of Isis, one of the six priests who served Pharaoh Atem. She holds the Millennium Tauk (Millennium Necklace in the English anime) until she passes it down to Yugi. The reason she does this is because the Millennium Tauk no longer responded to her because the future it showed her was changed by Kaiba.

After the Pharaoh recovers his memories and his name in the Egyptian Arc, Ishizu, her brother Marik, and adopted brother Odion (Rishid in the Japanese versions) lead Yugi and his friends to the tomb of the Pharaoh in order for Pharaoh Atem and Yugi to have a final duel in order to determine if the spirit will move on to the afterlife or remain in the present.

Ishizu's name supposedly derives from the Egyptian deity Isis ("Isis" is actually the English name for "Aset"; "Isis" is a Greek corruption of "Aset") and the Mesopotamian deity Ishtar.
