This card then attacks and destroys Weevil's set "Pinch Hopper". This activates "Pinch Hopper's" effect, Special Summoning "Larvae Moth" to Weevil's side of the Field. Later Weevil activates "Reckless Parasite" which turns all of Joey's monsters into Insects and prevents him from Tributing Insect-type monsters. Joey later attacks "Larvae Moth" with "Little-Winguard", but Weevil activates "Insect Barrier" which prevents Joey from attacking with Insect-type monsters. On Joey's next turn, he switches his monsters to Defense Position to Defense Position. In the next episode, Joey switches his monsters to Attack Position in order to get Weevil to attack with "Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth". The plan succeeds as Weevil attacks "Parasite Paracide" with "Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth". Joey then activates "Skull Dice" to roll a die and divide the ATK of "Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth" by the result. The result is a two, so the ATK of "Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth" is divided by 2. Joey then activates "Graceful Dice" to roll a die and multiply the ATK of "Parasite Paracide" by the result. The result is a four, so the ATK of "Parasite Paracide" is quadrupled until the End Phase. "Parasite Paracide" then destroys "Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth". Later "Insect Queen" attacks this card as Joey forgot to switch this card to Defense Position, but Joey activates "Magical Arm Shield" to switch the target of the attack to Weevil's "Insect Soldiers of the Sky", destroying it.

On the last turn of the duel, Joey activates "Giant Trunade" to return all Spell and Trap Cards to their owners' hands. This gets rid of "Umi" and reveals "The Legendary Fisherman".

• In episode 125, Joey plays this card against Yami Marik. Joey then tributes one of his "Sheep Tokens" so that this card could attack. This card then attacked and destroyed Yami Marik's "Gil Garth". When Joey summoned his "Rocket Warrior", Yami Marik used the summoning of "Rocket Warrior" to activate "Hidden Soldiers", Special Summoning "Plasma Eel". He then equips it to to this card. Joey then tributes another "Sheep Token" so that this card could attack. It then attacks and destroys "Helpoemer" who was weakened because "Rocket Warrior" attacked it earlier. This however activates the effect of "Helpoemer", making Joey discard one random card from his hand everytime he ends his Battle Phase. In the next episode, once Joey ended his turn "Plasma Eel"'s effect activated, decreasing this card's ATK to 1500. On Joey's next turn, he used "Rocket Warrior" to attack "Drillago", weakening it. Joey then tributes his last "Sheep Token" so that this card could attack. Joey then uses this card to attack and destroy "Drillago". Once Joey ended his turn, "Plasma Eel"'s effect activated, decreasing this card's ATK to 1000. Joey switches this monster to Defense Position on his next turn. Once he ends that turn, "Plasma Eel"'s effect activated again, decreasing this card's ATK to 500. Once Joey got his "Jinzo" out, he used its effect to destroy all of Yami Marik's Traps. Joey then switches this card to Attack Position, intending to use it to attack Yami Marik directly, however Yami Marik then used "Dark Wall of Wind" to make all Battle Damage he takes from direct attacks to 0. Once Joey ended his turn, "Plasma Eel"'s effect activated, decreasing this card's ATK to 0. In the the follow episode, Joey attacks Marik directly with "Lava Golem", but Yami Marik then used "Relieve Monster" to return the "Plasma Eel" equipped to this card back to his hand. He then used the other effect of "Relieve Monster" to Special Summon back "Plasma Eel" and use it to intercept "Lava Golem"'s attack. Because "Plasma Eel" cannot be destroyed by battle, the attack fails. Yami Marik then activates "Machine Duplication" to summon two more "Plasma Eels" which were then equipped to "Rocket Warrior" and "Lava Golem" respectively. Joey then activates "Graceful Dice" to target this card and roll a die. Joey gets a six, so the ATK of "Plasma Eel" is multiplied by 6, making its ATK 3000. This causes Marik's "Machine Duplication" and the "Plasma Eel" copies that were equipped onto "Rocket Warrior" and "Lava Golem" to be destroyed. Joey then Tributes this card, "Rocket Warrior" and "Lava Golem" to Summon "Gilford the Lightning".
  • In the second above-mentioned episode, this card is shown in a flashback that Yami Marik has while he was trying to figure out what was the first monster that went to Joey's Graveyard.
