Yu-Gi-Oh!

Duelist Kingdom Arc

• In the Japanese version of episode 2 of the second series anime, Solomon Muto puts up a poster featuring this card alongside Hercules Beetle (foreshadowing Yugi's duel with Weevil Underwood). In the dub, Black Luster Soldier and Harpie's Pet Dragon are in the poster, foreshadowing Yugi's duel with Mai Valentine.

• This card made its first appearance during Yugi's first duel against Maximillion Pegasus. It was destroyed by Dark Magician, which Pegasus was controlling with Eye of Illusion (note that during the dub version of this duel, it was referred to as the Elf Swordsman; this was corrected in later episodes).

• It made its next appearance in Yugi's duel against Ghost Kaiba, where it destroyed Grappler. It stayed on the field until the duel ended.

• Yugi summoned this card against Panik in his opening turn. Panik destroyed it with Barox.

• During Yugi and Joey's duel against the Paradox Brothers, Yugi summoned this card, and it was immediately attacked by the brothers' Wall Shadow. Joey, however, activated Kunai with Chain, capturing Wall Shadow and raising this card's ATK high enough so that it could destroy Wall Shadow. It was later destroyed by the brothers' Dungeon Worm.

• In Yugi's second Duel against Seto Kaiba on top of Pegasus' castle, he intended to destroy the diseased Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon with this card, but hampered his attack during the last moment.

• Yugi summoned this card on his opening turn during his anime-only duel with Joey during Duelist Kingdom. It was destroyed by Joey's Giltia the D. Knight.

• During Yugi's duel against Pegasus at the end of the Duelist Kingdom arc, he summoned this card and attempted to attack Pegasus' Toon Mermaid with it. Unfortunately, since normal monsters could not destroy Toon monsters, this card was destroyed.

Battle City/Virtual World Arcs

• During Yugi's duel with the Marik Ishtar-controlled Bandit Keith, he summoned this card and destroyed Keith's face-down Cyber Jar with it. As per Cyber Jar's effect, it was destroyed.
• Yugi summoned this card during his duel with Johnny Steps and destroyed Sonic Maid with it. It was later destroyed by Johnny's Musician King.
• From Battle City and on, Yugi rarely, if ever, used this monster, replacing it with Obnoxious Celtic Guardian.
