Battle City

• When a Rare Hunter looks at each duelist's rarest card, this card is registered as the rarest one in Espa Roba's Deck.

• When Rex Raptor Duels Espa Roba, this card makes its first appearance. Espa used "Mesmeric Control" to stop Rex's "Serpent Night Dragon" from attacking this card and reduce its ATK by 800. This card then destroys Rex's "Serpent Night Dragon", winning Roba the duel.

• When Joey Wheeler Duels Espa Roba, Espa summons this monster by tributing Joey's "Swordsman of Landstar" (which Espa controlled thanks to "Mind Control"). This monster then destroys Joey's "Chasm of Spikes" with its own effect. Espa then equips this monster with "Amplifier", increasing its ATK by 500. This monster then destroys Joey's "Alligator's Sword". Joey then attempts to use his "Baby Dragon" and "Time Wizard" combo to weaken this monster, but it was unaffected by the effect of "Time Wizard" much to Joey's surprise. Espa then explains that the reason why it didn't work is because this card's armor is made of a special alloy that is guaranteed not to age or corrode for 10,000 years. Joey's "Thousand Dragon" attacks this card, but the attack then backfires since this monster was stronger at the timing, destroying Joey's "Thousand Dragon" instead. After Joey plays "Scapegoat" to create four Sheep Tokens, this card gains 300 ATK via "Amplifier". This monster then destroys one Sheep Token while Espa's "Reflect Bounder" destroys another Sheep Token. Joey then targets this monster with "Roulette Spider" to spin it around like a roulette until Espa orders it to stop. When it stops, it points at his "Reflect Bounder". This monster is then forced to attack "Reflect Bounder" as per the second effect of "Roulette Spider". "Reflect Bounder" is then destroyed by the attack and this in turn activates its effect which destroys this monster too. Because of the Battle Damage difference between Espa's monsters, Joey won the duel. Joey then won this card from Roba as per the Battle City Rules.

• In episode 59, this card appeared on the screen of the laptop Tristan was using when he was trying to let Serenity Wheeler know how the Duel between Joey and Espa was going.

• When Joey Wheeler Duels Weevil Underwood, Joey first summons this card by sacrificing his "Swordsman of Landstar". He then uses this card to destroy Weevil's "Flying Kamakiri #2". On the next turn, this card attacks Weevil's set "Kiseitai", but this activates the effect of "Kiseitai", equipping itself to this card. On Joey's next turn, the second effect of "Kiseitai" increases Weevil's Life Points equal to half of this card's ATK. Joey then uses this card to destroy Weevil's "Skull-Mark Ladybug" which activates its effect, increasing Weevil's Life Points by 500. On Joey's next turn, Weevil's Life Points increase again by half of this card's ATK thanks to the effect of "Kiseitai". Joey then sacrifices this card (with "Kiseitai" still attached to it) so that his "Panther Warrior" can attack.

• When Joey Wheeler Duels Mako Tsunami, Joey antes this card and "Insect Queen" while Mako antes "The Legendary Fisherman" and "Fortress Whale".

• In episode 74, this card appears within a series of flashbacks that show all of Joey's Duels in Battle City.

• When Joey Wheeler Duels Odion Ishtar, Joey uses this card. When Odion's "Embodiment of Apophis" (one of his three copies) attacks Joey's "Swordsman of Landstar", Joey uses "Foolish Burial" to discard this card to Odion's Graveyard. He then uses "Graverobber" to snatch this card from Odion's Graveyard and summon it to his side of the field. Joey then uses this card's effect to destroy Odion's three copies of "Embodiment of Apophis". Joey then attacks Odion directly with this card, "Battle Warrior" and "Swordsman of Landstar". When Odion plays "Swords of Revealing Light", Joey switches this card to Defense Position and summons "The Legendary Fisherman" then summons out "Insect Queen". Later, this card is the first of Joey's monsters to be destroyed and absorbed by Odion's "Mystical Beast Serket".

• In episode 89, this card appears in a series of flashbacks Odion has when he explains that this card counts as three Tributes due to it absorbing three of Joey's monsters which was why he could Tribute this card to summon "The Winged Dragon of Ra".

• The four remaining Big Five members later tried to take the bodies of Yugi's friends by force as defeating them in Duels proved to be useless. Joey quickly summoned five monster to stall for time while he and his friends tried to get away on the truck. Leichter, as this monster, destroys "Battle Warrior" and "Baby Dragon". After defeating the monsters, the Big Five went after the truck, but the gang are able to get the truck started and escape. Eventually the gang end up in a desert and later crash. Before the Big Five can take the bodies of Yugi's friends, Noah captures them for questioning on their actions.

• When Yugi Muto and Joey Wheeler Duel The Big Five (using Tristan Taylor's body), three copies of this card are seen. The first one is seen when Yugi is selecting his cards though Yugi doesn't select it. Later, the second one is Leichter's Deck Master once more. Leichter used his Deck Master's Ability to destroy Joey's "Drop Off" when he tried to use it to make Leichter discard the card he drew on his Draw Phase. On the next turn, Joey summons the third one after sacrificing his "Panther Warrior". Joey then used his copy's effect to destroy Leichter's "Gravity Bind" since Leichter's copy only destroys opposing Traps. After Joey uses "Block Attack" to force Leichter's "Injection Fairy Lily" into Defense Mode, Joey's copy destroys Leichter's "Injection Fairy Lily". Later, the second and third copies were destroyed when the Big Five uses "Dragon Revival Ritual" to tribute Leichter's copy, Gansley's "Deepsea Warrior", Crump's "Nightmare Penguin", Johnson's "Judge Man" and Nezbitt's "Robotic Knight" to Ritual Summon "Five-Headed Dragon" while Joey's copy and Yugi's "Dark Magician Girl" are destroyed by the effect of the Big Five's "Five-Headed Dragon".

• When Joey Wheeler Duels Valon, Joey summons this card after sacrificing "Battle Warrior". This card then attacks Valon's "Psychic Armor Head" but Valon uses the effect of his Armor Monsters to redirect the attack to his "Buster Knuckle", destroying it instead. Valon's "Burning Knuckle" (powered up by its own effect and "The Seal of Orichalcos") then attacks this card, causing it to be destroyed by the counterattack but this activates the effect of "Burning Knuckle", decreasing this card's ATK by the ATK of "Burning Knuckle"(which was 1700, so this card's ATK got decreased to 700).
