• Joey Wheeler commonly uses this monster in his Duels.

• This card first appeared in Joey's first duel with Rex Raptor. After he summoned it, it got a Field Power Bonus from the meadow area. Joey then sent his monster to destroy Rex's "Two-Headed King Rex". It was then destroyed by Rex's "Sword Arm of Dragon" after it got the Field Power Bonus from the Wasteland area.

• In episode 16, this card is shown in a flashback Ryo Bakura has when he makes note of his Millennium Ring pointing at the castle as something similar when he first started attending Yugi Muto's school. Joey is shown using this card in his duel against Yugi. What happens next is unknown as the flashback then shifted to Bakura who then noticed that his Millennium Ring is pointing to Yugi's Millennium Puzzle.
  • This card can also be seen in Kaiba's briefcase when he takes out a Duel Disk from his briefcase and tosses it to Joey.

• This card reappeared in Joey's duel with Seto Kaiba. "Rabid Horseman" then attacks and destroys this card.

• This card later appeared in Joey's duel with Bonz. Joey summoned this monster on the second turn of the duel. Joey would then use this monster to destroy Bonz's "Zanki". On Joey's next turn, he would use it to destroy Bonz's set "Crawling Dragon". It was later destroyed by Bonz's "Dragon Zombie" ("Crawling Dragon" brought back by "Call of the Haunted").

• Joey used this card again in his tag duel with Yugi against Para and Dox. He did not move it at first to keep it safe from "Wall Shadow". When "Wall Shadow" attacks Yugi's "Celtic Guardian", Joey activates "Kunai with Chain" to negate the attack, equip this card with "Kunai with Chain" and increase both this card and "Celtic Guardian's" ATK by 500. After "Wall Shadow" was destroyed by "Celtic Guardian", Joey moved this card four spaces into the maze along with his "Flame Swordsman". When Para cuts off both Yugi and Joey's monsters from each other with "Magical Labyrinth", Joey moved this card and "Flame Swordsman" ahead through the maze to get out, but this card then stepped on the spot where Dox layed his "Jirai Gumo" on. This caused "Jirai Gumo" to pop out and attack this card. Due to "Jirai Gumo's" effect, this card's ATK became its original ATK, allowing "Jirai Gumo" to destroy this card.

• In episode 26, this card can be seen in Kaiba's briefcase when he takes a Duel Disk from his briefcase and tosses it to Pegasus.

• Joey uses this card in his duel with Bandit Keith. It was originally set in Defense Position, but Keith later switched it into Attack Position with "Stop Defense". He then tried to win the duel by attacking this card with "Metalzoa", but Joey used "Chasm of Spikes" to destroy "Metalzoa" and inflict damage to Keith equal to 1/4 of his "Metalzoa"'s ATK. Joey then switched this card back into Defense Position. This card was later destroyed by Keith's "Barrel Dragon" along with "Garoozis".

• This monster was used again in the Legendary Heroes arc. Joey equips this monster with "Kunai with Chain" and has it destroy "Armed Ninja" who had captured Mokuba disguised as Princess Edina. This causes the net "Armed Ninja" was holding to drop, but a "Whiptail Crow" catches the net and takes Mokuba away.

• In episode 46, this card is shown on some TV monitors that were showing the Duels that occurred in Duelist Kingdom.

• In episode 82, this card appears in a flashback Joey has when Bakura reveals what kind of Deck he uses and Joeys asks if it's similar to Bonz's Deck.

• In episode 106, this card can be seen when Duke Devlin, Tristan Taylor, and Serenity Wheeler were building their Decks for their Duel against Nezbitt.

• In episode 109, this card appears in a flashback Leichter has when he explains to Seto that his treachery began when Gozaburo gave him a large amount of dollars to test Seto's business skills.

• When the gang get surrounded by Gozaburo's chess monster army, Joey summons this card to fend off the monsters. This card and Joey then joins Yugi and the latter's "Curse of Dragon" in destroying the army. It is not shown again while Yugi and his friends try to hide from the creatures, but it was most likely destroyed by either one of the two "Skull Knights" or "Cosmo Queen". When the monster army finds them again, Joey summons this card again and uses it to destroy "Command Knight".

• This card was used again in the Battle Royal duel between Yugi, Joey, Kaiba, and Yami Marik. Joey tried to use this card to attack Kaiba's "Blade Knight", but Kaiba used "Ring of Destruction" to destroy this card. He then used "Ring of Defense" to protect himself from the damage inflicted by "Ring of Destruction"'s effect. Joey however then used "Graverobber" to take Yami Marik's "Spell of Pain" and activate its effect, transferring the damage Joey would have received from "Ring of Destruction"'s effect to Yami Marik instead, causing Yami Marik to lose the duel.

• Joey uses this card in a Dream Duel against an unknown opponent while he was in a coma and he was dreaming that he was Dueling in a state championship. Joey has this card attack and destroy his opponent's "Petit Dragon", winning him the Duel.
