Card Appearances:Swordsman of Landstar

"Swordsman of Landstar":

Yu-Gi-Oh!

This is one of Joey Wheeler's signature cards. He often combines it with Graceful Dice to increase its ATK. (This was actually the exact reason he used Swordsman of Landstar; in the anime, Graceful Dice could only be used with Monsters that had 500 ATK or less.)

This card first appeared in Joey's duel with Espa Roba. When Joey realized that Espa's claimed ESP was not real and that he was really cheating, he devised a way to suprise him. He first summoned this card and set two cards. When Espa tried to attack this card with "The Fiend Megacyber", Joey activated "Graceful Dice" as Espa predicted, but Joey only got a three on the roll, meaning this card's ATK is only tripled by the effect. Then to Espa's shock, Joey activated "Skull Dice" which got a five on the roll, meaning "Fiend Megacyber"'s ATK is cut by one-fifth, allowing this card to destroy "The Fiend Megacyber". After Joey attacked Espa directly with "Alligator's Sword", he tried to defeat Espa by attacking this card, but Espa activated "Mind Control" to take control of this card and save himself. Espa then tributed this card to summon out "Jinzo".

In episode 58, 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.

This card next appeared in Joey's duel with Weevil Underwood. He summons it on the first turn of the duel. When Weevil attacks this card with his "Flying Kamakiri 1", Joey used "Shield & Sword" to swap the ATK and DEF of both monsters out. This in turn allowed this card to counterattack and destroy "Flying Kamakiri 1". Weevil then used "Flying Kamakiri 1"'s effect to summon out "Flying Kamakiri 2". This card was then tributed to summon "Jinzo".

It next appeared in Joey's duel with Odion Ishtar. When one of Odion's "Embodiment of Apophis" attacked this card, Joey utilized "Foolish Burial to send "Jinzo" to Odion's Graveyard. Joey then brought it back with "Graverobber". Because of "Jinzo"'s effect, the "Embodiments" were destroyed, saving this card and preventing Joey from losing. This card, "Battle Warrior", and "Jinzo" then attacked Odion directly. When Odion locked Joey down with "Swords of Revealing Light", Joey switched this card to Defense Position. Joey later tributed this card and "Alligator's Sword" (who was revived earlier with "Monster Reborn") to summon "Insect Queen".

It appeared in Joey's duel with Johnson. After he summoned it out, Joey activated "Graceful Dice" to make this card stronger. Joey got a six on the roll, but Johnson cheats by changing the roll to a one, leaving this card's ATK unchanged. Johnson then activated his Deck Master's Special Ability to destroy this card and inflict 500 points of damage to Joey.

Joey Wheeler selected this card at the start of the four-way duel between himself, Yugi Muto, Seto Kaiba and Yami Marik. He took the fourth turn, as his was the weakest monster selected.

In episode 135, this card is seen in a series of flashbacks Yugi has when he remembers the previous Duels that Joey went through in Battle City.

It appeared again in Joey and Kaiba's second duel. After Joey summoned this card out, he played "Graceful Dice". He got a four on the roll, meaning this card's ATK is quadrupled to 2000. Joey then had this monster destroy Kaiba's "La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp". This card was then destroyed by Kaiba's "Blade Knight".

It appeared again in Joey's third duel with Mai. Mai then attacked this card with one of her "Cyber Harpie Ladies", but Joey activates "Double Magical Arm Bind", tributing two Sheep Tokens to take control of two of Mai's "Cyber Harpie Ladies". Joey then activated "Vow of Tribe" to prevent Mai from attacking with any of her "Cyber Harpie Ladies". Joey then tributes the two "Cyber Harpie Ladies" that he snatched with "Double Magical Arm Bind" and this card to summon "Gilford the Lightning".

This card appeared once more in Joey's duel with Solomon Muto. Joey summons this card on his first turn of the duel. On his next turn he has this card attack "Wandering Mummy" even though this card was weaker. Joey then activates "Graceful Dice" to strengthen this card, but Solomon activates "Legendary Gambler" to roll his own die. Joey gets a four and Solomon gets a six and since Solomon's roll is higher, Joey's card is negated. Joey then activates "Skull Dice" to weaken "Wandering Mummy", but Solomon uses "Legendary Gambler" to roll his own die since "Legendary Gambler" is a Continuous Trap. Joey gets a five while Solomon gets a six and since Solomon's roll is higher, Joey's card is negated. Since this card was still weaker than "Wandering Mummy" when it attacked, "Wandering Mummy" then counterattacked and destroyed this card.

This card appeared again in Joey's duel with Zigfried von Schroeder. He then had this card attack Zigfried directly, but Zigfried used "Fricka's Mediation" to negate the attack. Zigfried then plays "Nibelung's Treasure" to equip "Nibelung's Ring" to this card, preventing it from attacking or being tributed. Joey later got rid of "Nibelung's Ring" with "Giant Trunade". He then tributed this card to summon "Maximum Six".

In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 077, Leo uses this card (or possibly Comrade Swordsman of Landstar) in a class duel for practicing Warrior types, where he lost to Dexter.
