Yu-Gi-Oh!

Notes

• This card has been recurringly used in several duels by Yugi Muto/Yami Yugi.

• This card is called "Elf Swordsman" on his first appearance but is corrected in later episodes.

• This card is known as "Guardia Celta" in the anime's Spanish version.

Duelist Kingdom

• On Solomon Muto's poster, it features this card and "Hercules Beetle".

• During Yugi's first duel against Maximillion Pegasus, this card's first appearance is when Yugi tries to attack Pegasus' "Illusionist Faceless Mage" but the "Eye of Illusion" redirects the attack to Yugi's "Dark Magician" which destroys this card due to the attack backfiring.

• During Yugi's duel against Weevil Underwood, Yugi summons this card. This card is then destroyed by Weevil's "Hercules Beetle".

• During Yugi's duel with "Kaiba" (either Ventriloquist of the Dead in the manga or Ghost Kaiba in the anime), this card attacks and destroys the imposter's "Grappler" and stays on the field until the duel ends.

• During Yugi's duel with PaniK, Yugi summons this card in Defense mode on his opening turn. PaniK's "Barox" then destroys this card.

• In episode 16, this card is shown in a flashback Bakura has when he makes note of his Millennium Ring pointing at the castle as something similar when he first started attending Yugi'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.

• During Yugi's and Joey Wheeler's tag-team duel the Paradox Brothers, Yugi summons this card and moves this card 4 spaces into the maze. The brothers' "Wall Shadow" then immediately attacks this card, but Joey activates "Kunai with Chain" to immobilize "Wall Shadow", equip "Kunai with Chain" to Joey's "Axe Raider" and raise the ATK of both "Axe Raider" and this card by 500. This card then attacks and destroys "Wall Shadow". On Para's End Phase, the boost this card got from "Kunai with Chain" wears off, returning its ATK to normal. After Yugi got this card together with his "Dark Magician" and Joey's "Axe Raider" and "Flame Swordsman", the brothers cut Yugi's cards and Joey's cards off from each other via "Magical Labyrinth". Later, the brothers' "Dungeon Worm" (equipped with "Invigoration") attacks and destroys this card.

• During Yugi's second duel against Seto Kaiba, Yugi summons this card after using his "Mammoth Graveyard" and "Living Arrow" combo to weaken Kaiba's "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" until it had 900 ATK. This card then attacks and destroys one of the dragon's heads(because according to Bakura, "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" is a fusion of three monsters and as such each head had its own amount of ATK which they all share). At this point, Kaiba couldn't bear to lose this duel as he will lose the only chance at saving his brother while Yugi wishes to save both his grandfather and Mokuba from Pegasus. After Kaiba moved to the edge and threatened to jump off if Yugi attacks(in the dub, Kaiba claimed that the attack's shockwave will throw him off the ledge), Yami Yugi attempts to attack another weakened dragon's head as he was unwilling to lose the Duel, but Yugi Muto hampers this card's attack at the last moment as he could not bear to see Kaiba fall to his death. This gave Kaiba the opportunity to have his dragon's only healthy head (which Kaiba revived earlier via "Monster Reborn") to destroy this card, winning Kaiba the duel.

• In episode 24, this card appears in a flashback Yugi has when he remembers Yami Yugi nearly making his winning move against Kaiba despite that he and Yugi knew full well that Kaiba will fall off the ledge if he attacks. The attack was stopped by Yugi at the last moment because he couldn't bear to see Kaiba fall to his death. This led to Yugi being defeated. Yugi notes Yami Yugi would have killed Kaiba if he didn't stop him and that there was no other choice. Yugi wonders if he would ever duel again since he could not control Yami Yugi at that point and it may happen again.

• In episode 30, this card appears in a flashback Yami Yugi has when he remembers his Duel with Kaiba on top of the castle and Kaiba wagering his life right when Yami Yugi was about to win. Yami notes that he thought if he had lost, he would have lost his pride as a duelist, but instead he realized something else.

• This card is shown in Yami Yugi's hand during his Duel against Mai Valentine.

• During Yugi's duel with Joey Wheeler, Yugi summons this card in Attack Position on his opening turn. Joey's "Giltia the Dark Knight" then attacks and destroys this card.

• In episode 33, this card appears when Yami Yugi explains to Joey that Duel Monsters is about the balance between Monsters and Spell and Trap Cards.

• In episode 35, this card appears in Yugi's thoughts when he notes it will take all the wisdom his grandfather taught him and all the power in his cards to defeat Pegasus.

• During Yugi's final duel against Maximillion Pegasus, Yugi summons this card in Attack Position. This card then attacks Pegasus' "Toon Mermaid". Unfortunately, only this card is destroyed since Normal Monsters could not destroy Toon Monsters.

• When Yugi Muto and Shadi search through Yami Yugi's mind within the Millennium Puzzle, this monster is seen within a Stone Slab.

• During Yugi's duel with Rebecca Hawkins, Yugi summons this card on the second turn of the duel. This card then attacks and destroys Rebecca's "Witch of the Black Forest". On the next turn, Yugi sends this card to attack and destroy Rebecca's "Sangan". Rebecca then used "Tribute to the Doomed" to destroy this card.

• In episode 53, this card appears on a poster that Yugi and Téa read when they find a game store that was selling Duel Monster cards.

• During Yugi's duel with Johnny Steps, this card destroys Johnny's "Sonic Maid". Later, this card is destroyed by Johnny's "Musician King".
