Yu-Gi-Oh

• This Egyptian God card is the first one to appear in the manga and anime.

Battle City

• In episode 62, this card and the other two Egyptian God Cards appear during Marik's explanation. Marik explained that Yami Yugi's memories existed within the three Egyptian God Cards and whoever can own all three will become the new Pharaoh and use the Millennium Items.

• In episode 65, this card is shown in Strings's hand during his Duel against Yami Yugi while the former was possessed by Marik Ishtar. In the next episode, Strings Tribute Summons this card by Tributing his three "Slime Tokens" (and subsequently destroys "Jam Breeding Machine" due to its last effect). Since Strings had two cards in his hand, this card's effect made its ATK 2000. Strings then activates "Pot of Greed" to draw two cards, making this card's ATK 3000. This card's presence then increased the ATK of Yugi's "Buster Blader" by 500 due to the latter's own effect. Later this card attacks Yugi's "Buster Blader", but Yugi activates "Lightforce Sword" to banish a card from Strings' hand for three turns and decrease this card's ATK by 1000. Yugi's "Buster Blader" then proceeds to counterattack, but Strings uses the effect of "Jam Defender" to redirect the counterattack to "Revival Jam", destroying it instead. After "Revival Jam" revives itself through its own effect, Strings activates "Card of Safe Return" to draw three cards, which made this card's ATK 5000. This card then attacks and destroys Yugi's "Buster Blader". After Yugi's "Dark Magician Girl" is summoned in Defense Position, Strings activates this card's second mouth effect to reduce Yugi's monster's DEF by 2000, but Yugi activates "Magical Hats" to hide "Dark Magician Girl" within one of four hats. The effect continues and destroys a hat, but the hat is revealed to be empty. Strings then activates "Infinite Cards" to remove the hand size limit and allow this card's ATK to exceed 6000 without a problem. This card then attacks the hat that hides Yugi's "Dark Magician Girl", but Yugi activates "Magic Cylinder" and "Spellbinding Circle" to reduce this card's ATK by 700 and redirect this card's attack back to itself, but Strings uses the effect of "Jam Defender" to let "Revival Jam" intercept the redirected attack, destroying it instead. After "Revival Jam" revives itself through its own effect, the effect of "Card of Safe Return" lets String draw three cards, increasing this card's ATK by 3000. On the End Phase, the effect of "Spellbinding Circle" expired due to card effects affecting Egyptian Gods for only one turn. Later this card attacks and destroys "Dark Magician Girl". In the next episode, the effect of "Lightforce Sword" expires, returning the card it banished back to Strings' hand and increasing this card's ATK by 1000. When Yugi's "Big Shield Gardna" was summoned in Defense Position, this card's second mouth effect reduces the DEF of "Big Shield Gardna" by 2000. Later this card attacks and destroys Yugi's "Big Shield Gardna". On the last turn, Yugi activates "Monster Reborn" to revive his "Buster Blader", whose ATK became 3100 through its own effect. This activates the effect of "Card of Safe Return", letting Strings draw three cards which raised this card's ATK to 14000. This card's second mouth effect then reduced the ATK of Yugi's "Buster Blader" by 2000. Yugi's "Buster Blader" then attacks this card, but Strings uses the effect of "Jam Defender" to redirect the attack to "Revival Jam", destroying it. "Revival Jam" then revives itself shortly after through its own effect, but Yugi activates "Brain Control" to take control of "Revival Jam" while it was doing this. String then activates the effect of "Card of Safe Return" to draw three more cards, raising this card's ATK to 17000. Before Strings can use this card to attack, Yugi reminds him that this card's must use its second mouth effect on any new monster Yugi summoned. This card's second mouth effect then destroys "Revival Jam" (as the latter's DEF is less than 2000), but "Revival Jam" revives itself shortly after due to its effect. This activates the effect of "Card of Safe Return", forcing Strings to draw three new cards. This created an infinite loop which continued until Strings ran out of cards to draw, which caused Strings to lose due to Deck Out. As per the Battle City Rules, Yugi won this card from Marik's mental slave.
  • In the first above-mentioned episode, this card and the other two Egyptian God Cards appear in Marik's mind and his intended plan.

Yugi reveals he keeps his won cards in a belt. After taking "Red-Eyes B. Dragon" from the case in the belt, Marik ordered Yugi to throw the belt onto the ground. Marik did this so that way if he wins or when the timer runs out, this card will not be dragged down with Yugi.

Just when Yugi orders this card to attack directly, Yami Bakura turns back to Bakura Ryou thanks to Marik's Millennium Rod. Yugi became hesitant on attacking, but Yami Bakura took back control of Bakura's body as he did not want to lose his host. This card then attacks directly, winning Yugi the duel.

In the next episode, Yugi Tribute Summons this card by Tributing his "Queen's Knight", "King's Knight" and "Jack's Knight". This card's effect made its ATK 3000 due to Yugi having three cards in his hand. This card then attacks Kaiba's "XYZ-Dragon Cannon" but Kaiba activates "Interdimensional Matter Transporter" to banish his monster until the End Phase. This negates the attack made by this card due to its target leaving the field. After Yugi sets a card face-down, this card's ATK decreased to 2000. In the following episode, this card's second mouth ability activates, decreasing the ATK of Kaiba's "Obelisk the Tormentor" to 2000.

Kaiba then activates "Thirst for Compensation" to Special Summon "Blade Knight" and "Sword of Soul" from his hand.

Kaiba then Tributes "Blade Knight" and "Sword of Soul" to activate the effect of "Obelisk the Tormentor", destroying all monsters Yugi controls and inflicting 4000 damage to Yugi (this card is not destroyed due to its Egyptian God status), but Yugi discards "Kuriboh" via its own effect to nullify the damage he would take (and subsequently decrease this card's ATK to 5000_. After Yugi draws, this card's ATK becomes 6000. This card then attacks Kaiba's "Obelisk the Tormentor", but Kaiba activates "Power Balance" to discard half of the cards in Yugi's hand and allow Kaiba to draw the same amount of cards Yugi discarded. Yugi then activates "Necromancy" (which causes this card's ATK to decrease to 2000) to Special Summon four random monsters from Kaiba's Graveyard in Defense Position ("Blade Knight", "Sword of Soul", "Kaiser Sea Horse" and "X-Head Cannon"). This activates this card's second mouth effect, destroying all the monsters that were just summoned (as all four had at most 2000 DEF). This also activates the second effect of "Necromancy", decreasing the ATK of Kaiba's "Obelisk the Tormentor" to 1600 (600 for every "Necromancy"-summoned monster that was destroyed).

  • In the second above-mentioned episode, this card appears in a flashback Kaiba has when he realizes that the vision he had was almost like the vision he and Yugi had back at Battle City when their Egyptian Gods' attacks collided with so much energy that they created a vision of ancient Egypt for both of them to see.

Yami Yugi's spirit then comes out of Yugi's body and into the light, taking him back to ancient Egypt to relearn what his true memories were (Unbeknownst to Yami Yugi, Yami Bakura also followed him to ancient Egypt with him due to part of himself being in the Millennium Puzzle).

• In episode 206, Yami Yugi summons this monster to battle Bakura's Diabound while chasing him down through the city, but Bakura is able to weaken and destroy it by having a corrupted Aknadin attack the stone tablet housing Slifer's spirit.

• In episode 216, this card appears in a flashback Yami Yugi has when he notes to himself that Yami Bakura was probably right about his revival being the thing that caused all of the bad events that had recently happened.

• In episode 217, Yami Yugi summons the three Egyptian Gods to fight Zorc after he is revived. Although they defeat him successfully at first. Zorc gets back up at full strength and turns the Egyptian Gods into stone, rendering them useless. Two episodes later, Yami Yugi regains his real name (Atem) and his father tells him to call forth the light that will swallow the darkness. Yami Yugi then calls for the three Egpytian Gods to revive themselves. This causes the Egyptian God cards within Yugi's Deck to come out and revive the Egyptian Gods themselves. Atem then combines all three gods to form The Creator God of Light, Horakhty. The Creator God of Light then attacks and destroys Zorc once and for all.

• In episode 221, Yami Yugi uses this card during his Duel against Yugi. He summons this card, "Queen's Knight", and "King's Knight" via the effect of "Summoning Clock". Due to this card's effect, its ATK becomes 3000 as Yami Yugi has three cards in his hand. In the next episode, Yami Yugi activates "Pot of Greed" to draw two cards, which increases this card's ATK to 3000 (as Yami Yugi had already summoned "The Winged Dragon of Ra" at the end of the previous episode).

On Yami Yugi's turn, this card's ATK became 4000. This card then attacks "Silent Swordsman LV0", but Yugi activates "Mirage Ruler" in response. This card then destroys "Silent Magician LV0". After Yugi Tributes his "Valkyrion" in order to revive his three Magnet Warriors, this card's second mouth effect activates, but Yugi activates "Magnet Force" to redirect the effect back at the Egyptian Gods, decreasing their ATK by 2000. In the following episode, Yugi activates "Magnet Reverse" to revive "Valkyrion" in Defense Position. This activates this card's effect, but "Magnet Force" redirects the effect to Obelisk, destroying it. Yugi then tributes his "Valkyrion" to revive his three Magnet Warriors, which forces this card's effect to activate again. "Magnet Force" then redirects the effect back at the two remaining Egyptian God Cards. The first two blasts hit "The Winged Dragon of Ra" and destroy it. The last blast then hits this card and destroys it. In the next episode, Yami Yugi activates "Monster Reborn" to revive this card. Since Yami Yugi had four cards in his hand, this card's ATK became 4000. Yami Yugi intended to use this card to attack "Silent Magician LV0" (who had 3500 ATK due to its own effect), but Yugi activates the effect of "Gold Sarcophagus" to reveal what the card he banished was, which was "Monster Reborn" (much to Yami Yugi's shock). Since Yami Yugi played the same card that Yugi banished via the effect of "Gold Sarcophagus", the effect of Yami Yugi's card was negated and this card goes back to the Graveyard.
  • In the manga, Atem only Summoned "Obelisk", rather than the two other "Gods", and discarded this card on the first turn to Special Summon "The Tricky"; when Yugi was about to launch his final attack, Atem activated his Set "Monster Reborn" to revive this card, with 6000 ATK, but Yugi negated the effect of "Monster Reborn" with "Gold Sarcophagus".

Yami Yugi then activates "Dark Renewal" to Tribute "Dark Magician Girl" and "Neo-Spacian Grand Mole" in order to Special Summon a Spellcaster-type monster from his Graveyard. Yami Yugi then activates the effect of the "Code Change" that Yugi had sealed in "Mystical Refpanel" to change the typing of "Dark Renewal" from Spellcaster to Divine-Beast, allowing Yami Yugi to revive this card. Since Yami Yugi had five cards in his hand, this card's ATK and DEF became 5000 due to its own effect. A replay occurs and Jaden chooses not to attack with "Elemental Hero Shining Flare Wingman". "Elemental Hero Neos" then attacks this card, but what happens after that is unknown.

• Yami Yugi uses this card during his Duel against Kaiba. He Tribute Summons this monster by Tributing his "Queen's Knight", "King's Knight", and "Jack's Knight". Since Yugi had three cards in his hand, this card's ATK and DEF became 3000. This card then attacks and destroys Kaiba's "Rare Metal Dragon". Kaiba then activates "Obligatory Summon" to force Yugi to summon "Obelisk the Tormentor" and "The Winged Dragon of Ra" (as they were the same type as this card). Kaiba then activates "Pyramid of Light" to banish all three Gods from the field. Later, Kaiba wanted a perfect victory by using the Egyptian Gods against him. Kaiba then activates the last effect of "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon" to destroy "Pyramid of Light", but it didn't work due to Anubis' interference. Anubis then took over the duel. Yami Yugi later sensed a weakness in the "Pyramid of Light" thanks to Yugi destroying the power source for the "Pyramid". Yami Yugi then activates "Double Spell" to activate Kaiba's Monster Reborn" from the Graveyard and revive "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon". Yami Yugi then activates the Shining Nova effect of "Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon"to destroy "Pyramid of Light". This time the effect succeeds as not only was the "Pyramid of Light" destroyed, but so were Anubis's "Andro Sphinx" and "Sphinx Teleia". Anubis then Special Summons "Theinen the Great Sphinx" through its own procedure since "Andro Sphinx" and "Sphinx Teleia" were both destroyed at the same time. Yugi Yami then activates "Reverse of Reverse" to activate Kaiba's "Return from the Different Dimension" as his card. This allows Yami to Special Summon the Egyptian Gods. Yami Yugi then combines the Egyptian Gods together to destroy "Theinen the Great Sphinx" and inflict infinite damage to Anubis, winning Yami Yugi the Duel.
