Yu-Gi-Oh!

• In Yu-Gi-Oh!, this card is the signature card of Seto Kaiba. Much of his deck centers around ways of quickly summoning it; indeed, even his private jet is modeled around the dragon.

Duelist Kingdom/Pre-Duelist Kingdom Arc

• When this card first appeared, it was famous for the fact that only four of them were ever printed. Yugi's grandfather, Solomon Mutou had the one of them, and when Kaiba saw it, he attempted to buy it, but was refused. Kaiba later stole the card from Yugi, and used it in a shadow game with Yami Yugi. Towards the end of the duel, he slips this card onto the top of his deck, and attempts to use it to destroy Yugi's Summoned Skull, but the dragon refuses, as it belongs to Yugi's grandpa. The dragon destroyed itself upon the command, and Yugi resurrected it with Monster Reborn to attack Kaiba directly, winning the duel.

• By Kaiba's next appearance (in the DEATH-T arc), he has the remaining three copies of this card all in his deck (acquired by illegal means). Confident of his deck, he challenged Solomon to a duel, and although Solomon drew his Blue-Eyes first, Kaiba destroyed it with his own three Blue-Eyes, winning the duel. Afterwards, he tears the card in half so that it cannot ever be used against him, as a duelist can only have three copies of any card in his deck.

• When Kaiba duels Yugi at the final battlefield of DEATH-T, he summons one of these to destroy Yugi's Gaia the Fierce Knight. He later summons the other two to destroy Horn Imp and Dark Magician. All three were destroyed when Yugi summoned Exodia the Forbidden One.

• During the Duelist Kingdom arc, The Death Imitator stole this card, along with the rest of Kaiba's deck, to use against Yugi. The first Blue-Eyes destroyed Yugi's Curse of Dragon, but Yugi hid his Dark Magician from it using Magical Hats. The Blue-Eyes hit an empty hat next, before hitting a hat with Spellbinding Circle beneath it, reducing its ATK by 700. Yugi then brought his Dark Magician out to destroy it. The impostor Kaiba then launched a second Blue-Eyes to destroy the Dark Magician, but the real Kaiba hacked into the duel's hologram computers and decreased its ATK to 2000. Though it was still strong enough to destroy Yugi's Feral Imp, the Blue-Eyes heard the call of its true master and shattered, leaving the impostor with an empty field. The third Blue-Eyes was eventually summoned, and attacked, but Yugi activated Mirror Force, sending the attack back towards the impostor, who negated it with Negate Attack. Yugi then used Monster Reborn to summon one of the Blue-Eyes in the Graveyard and strengthened it with Mystical Elf, and it destroyed the impostor's third Blue-Eyes, winning the duel.

• Towards the end of his duel with Joey Wheeler, Kaiba summoned this card to destroy Joey's Red-Eyes B. Dragon, winning the duel.

• During his duel with Yugi atop Pegasus' castle, Kaiba summoned one of these to destroy Yugi's Griffore. It was later fused with the two others to create Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

• When he dueled Maximillion Pegasus for his brother's soul, Kaiba drew this card, but was forced to hand it over due to the effect of Pegasus' Prophecy card. Pegasus used Toon World to transform it into the Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon. Kaiba later drew a second one, and used it to attack the Toon dragon, but failed due to Toon monsters not being able to be destroyed by normal monsters. Kaiba then used Shadow Spell to hold the Toon dragon down, and attacked with his own Blue-Eyes again, successfully destroying the Toon dragon this time. Pegasus then proceeded to seal it with Dragon Capture Jar, and attempted to control it with Dragon Piper, but Kaiba set off the Crush Card Virus, resulting in this card being destroyed.

• When Kaiba entered his own virtual reality game during the Legendary Heroes storyline, he summoned this card to destroy a virtual Two-Headed King Rex, but it was captured by a Dragon Capture Jar designed by the Big 5. Later, after he was freed, he summoned this card against the Big Fives' Five-Headed Dragon, and eventually fused it into the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

Battle City/Virtual World Arcs

• When Kaiba dueled against a computer designed to test the strength of Obelisk the Tormentor, the computer (armed with Kaiba's original deck) summoned this card by sacrificing Aqua Madoor and Wall of Illusion. The duel robot then used a combination of Lord of D., The Flute of Summoning Dragon, and Polymerization to summon the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

• During his and Yugi's tag-team duel against Lumis and Umbra, Kaiba used Monster Reborn to summon this card after he discarded it from Yugi's Card Destruction, bypassing Mask of Restrict's effect. It destroyed The Masked Beast, thanks to Yugi's Beast of Gilfer's effect. Umbra later attempted to destroy it by equipping Rogue Doll with Mask of Brutality and hindering the Blue-Eyes with Mask of Weakness, but Yugi intervened by transferring Mask of Brutality to the Blue-Eyes with Mystical Rift Panel. Kaiba then attempted to attack Umbra directly with this card, but Umbra negated it with Mask of Impregnability. It was later destroyed by Masked Beast Des Gardius.

• When Téa Gardner was held hostage by the Rare Hunters to force Yugi into dueling the brainwashed Joey Wheeler, Kaiba flung this card into the hand of the Rare Hunter holding Téa, knocking the remote control for the bombs out of his hand and saving her.

• Toward the end of the Battle City semi-finals, Kaiba was overcome by a vision of his past during his duel with Ishizu Ishtar, which drove him to tribute Obelisk the Tormentor and Gadget Soldier to summon this card. This action negated Ishizu's Blast Held by a Tribute, and Kaiba attacked directly with the Blue-Eyes, winning the duel.

• In the beginning of the Virtual World storyline, the Big Five used a virtual Kaiba dueling to explain the Deck Master system. Virtual Kaiba chose this card as his Deck Master, and used a combination of Lord of D. and The Flute of Summoning Dragon to bring the other two to the field. He then moved this card into the field, and fused it into the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Though it is only shown once, Blue-Eyes White Dragon's Deck Master Ability is apparently to allow any Fusion Monsters that includes it as one of the ingredients to attack instantly (as normally, Fusion Monsters cannot attack on the turn of their summoning).

• Kaiba summoned this card towards the end of his duel with Lector, using Lord of D.'s Deck Master ability to pay 500 LP and sacrificing Possessed Dark Soul and a set Defense Position monster to summon this card. Being a level eight monster, it destroyed Lector's Satellite Cannon, winning Kaiba the duel.

• During his duel with Noah Kaiba, Kaiba used Kaiser Sea Horse's Deck Master Ability to tribute Different Dimension Dragon in order to summon this card. He then activated Last Turn so that the Blue Eyes and Noah's Shinato's Ark would decide the victor of the match. The Blue-Eyes destroyed the ark, but released Shinato, King of a Higher Plane, which destroyed it and won Noah the duel.

• When Yami Yugi took over for Kaiba in his duel against Noah, he summoned Kaiba's destroyed Blue-Eyes with Monster Reborn, then used Polymerization to fuse it with the two in his hand (as he had merged his deck with Kaiba's) into the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. After the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon had attacked, Yugi used De-Fusion to turn it back into three separate Blue-Eyes, which attacked Noah directly, winning the duel.

• Towards the end of his duel with Gozaburo Kaiba, Kaiba summoned this card by sacrificing Ancient Lamp and La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp. It attacked Gozaburo directly, winning Kaiba the duel.

• After returning to Battle City, Kaiba summoned this card in his duel against Yami Yugi in the finals by lowering the Blue Eyes' level with Cost Down and sacrificing a token created from using Cloning on Yugi's Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts. The Blue-Eyes then proceeded to destroy Yugi's Gazelle. Later, Kaiba used Lord of D. and The Flute of Summoning Dragon to bring his other two to the field. This first Blue-Eyes attacked Yugi's Dark Magician, but the attack was negated by Magician's Selection. The second one destroyed Yugi's Beta The Magnet Warrior. The third one attacked Red-Eyes B. Dragon, but Yugi activated Spellbinding Circle, weakening it and allowing Red-Eyes B. Dragon to destroy it instead. Kaiba then resurrected the Blue-Eyes with Monster Reborn and fused them into the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon with Polymerization. Yugi eventually turned it back into three Blue-Eyes with De-Fusion, and destroyed them all with Dark Paladin (empowered by Diffusion Wave-Motion), winning the duel.

• When he dueled Joey Wheeler for third place in Battle City, Kaiba summoned this card by using Cost Down to lower Blue-Eyes' level so that it would require only one sacrifice, and then using Enemy Controller to steal Joey's Tiny Guardian as the sacrifice. The Blue-Eyes attempted to attack Joey directly, but Joey activated Scapegoat, resulting in it attacking a Goat Token instead. The Blue-Eyes then destroyed Battle Warrior, before Joey used Graverobber to steal Kaiba's Enemy Controller so that he could destroy the Blue-Eyes. Joey then used Monster Reborn to resurrect the Blue-Eyes, and used it to destroy Kaiba's Blade Knight. Kaiba then sacrificed Kaiser Sea Horse to summon his second Blue-Eyes, which attacked Joey's Blue-Eyes and resulted in both being destroyed. Kaiba then resurrected one with his own Monster Reborn, and destroyed Joey's Hayabusa Knight with it. Joey later attempted to target it with Time Wizard, but Kaiba saved it with Interdimensional Matter Transporter. The Blue-Eyes finished the duel by attacking Joey directly.

Doma/KC Grand Prix Arcs

• When he dueled Alister (at first disguised as Maximillion Pegasus), Kaiba summoned this card by sacrificing Spear Dragon and a token created from using Cloning on Toon Masked Sorcerer. The Blue-Eyes then attacked Alister-Pegasus' Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon and Toon Dark Magician Girl, missing both times but allowing Kaiba to draw a card each time due to Charm of Lamentation. Kaiba then used A Wingbeat of Giant Dragon to return this card to his hand and destroy Toon World. After Alister revealed himself, Kaiba used White Dragon Ritual to sacrifice it from his hand to summon Paladin of White Dragon, and used Monster Reborn to summon it to the field as well. Afterwards, Kaiba sacrificed Paladin of White Dragon to bring another Blue-Eyes to the field, but Alister used Aetonix Flame to destroy both dragons, then used Fire Whip to resurrect them on his side of the field. Both were destroyed by Doom Virus Dragon's effect.

• During his and Alister's rematch, Kaiba summoned this card by using Soul Exchange to sacrifice Alister's Robot Tokens. It destroyed one Robot token and Air Fortress Ziggurat (the latter due to Tyrant Wing). It was later sacrificed to summon Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon.

• In his and Yugi's duel with Dartz, Kaiba summoned this card by sacrificing Paladin of White Dragon. He later fused it with the two Blue-Eyes in his hand using Polymerization to create the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

• During the KC Grand Prix, when he dueled Zigfried von Schroeder, Kaiba had all three of these cards at the top of his deck, and set one of them in face-down Defense Position, but Zigfried used Goddess Urd's Verdict, Goddess Verdandi's Guidance, and Goddess Skuld's Oracle to remove it from play. Nibelung's Ring forced Kaiba to discard another one, but he resurrected it with Monster Reborn and had it attack Valkyrie Zwei, but destroyed Fortune Chariot instead. Zigfried then used Enchanted Sword Nothung to remove the Blue-Eyes from play. Kaiba later discarded his third Blue-Eyes alongside Pitch-Dark Dragon to summon Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End. Towards the end of the duel, Kaiba uses Dimension Fusion to bring all three back. The first attacked Valkyrie Brunnhilde, weakening it. The second destroyed Valkyrie Brunnhilde, and the third attacked Zigfried directly, winning the duel.

Millennium World/Ceremonial Battle Arcs

• When Yami Bakura challenged Kaiba to a duel atop the KC office building, Kaiba summoned this card with a combination of Lord of D. and The Flute of Summoning Dragon. He attempted to use it to attack Bakura's Diabound Kernel, but the attack was negated by Bakura's Spirit Shield. Bakura then used a doppelganger of Diabound Kernel created from Spirit Illusion to weaken the Blue-Eyes and attempted to attack it with the original, but Kaiba activated Attack Guidance Armor to redirect the attack. Kaiba later sacrificed the weakened Blue-Eyes alongside Vorse Raider to summon a second Blue-Eyes, which destroyed Diabound Kernel. However, Bakura used a combination of Rebirth Tablet and Mirror Tablet to resurrect Diabound Kernel and strengthen it, and it destroyed the second Blue-Eyes. Kaiba resurrected the Blue-Eyes with Monster Reborn, but Bakura (his mission to absorb the Blue Eyes' attack power accomplished) left without finishing the duel.

• During this arc, this card is revealed to be the spirit of Kisara, as well as the patron monster of the Priest Seto (who Kaiba is a reincarnation of), and is identified as the only monster whose power is greater than that of the Gods. This is proven when Kaiba summons the three Blue-Eyes (representing the souls of himself, the priest Seto, and Kisara) and fuses them together into the Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon,

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

• During Kaibaman's duel against Jaden Yuki, he summoned this card to the field by sacrificing a copy of himself, which destroyed Bubble Blaster. He later summons another one to the field with Paladin of White Dragon's effect. Jaden then destroyed one of them with Elemental Hero Bladedge, but Kaibaman revived it with Silent Doom and fused them with a third Blue-Eyes in his hand to summon Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon. Kaibaman later separated them again with De-Fusion to counteract Jaden's Edge Hammer, and the three Blue-Eyes attacked Jaden directly, winning Kaibaman the duel.

• In the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX manga, when Syrus Truesdale played "Transformation", he wore armor fashioned after "Blue-Eyes White Dragon".
