Purchasing "Red-Eyes Black Dragon".
===National Championship===
Ryuzaki took part in the [[Japanese National Duel Monsters Championship]], where he made it through to [[Rex and Weevil's National Championship Duel|the finals]]. There he faced [[Insector Haga (manga)|Insector Haga]]. Ryuzaki tried to overpower his opponent with his strong [[Dinosaur]] monsters, but was defeated by Haga's combo plays.<ref name="d d 1" />
At some point, Ryuzaki spent a few hundred thousand yen on the card, "[[Red-Eyes B. Dragon|Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]".<ref name="d d 20">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist|20|ref}}</ref>
===Duelist Kingdom===
On the [[Duelist Kingdom (island)|the island]], Ryuzaki won enough Duels to have five [[Star Chip]]s. He then managed to find and confront Mai Kujaku. He got mad at her for making a fool of him on the boat and demanded another Duel. Mai was not interested in playing someone that she already beat and told him to go away. As he boasted about having five Star Chips, Mai showed him that she had eight and said she had already decided who she would get her last two from, but needed to take down another guy before that. She then got the idea to get Ryuzaki to Duel [[Katsuya Jonouchi (manga)|Katsuya Jonouchi]] and said he would Duel him if he won, thinking she could transitively beat Jonouchi that way. Ryuzaki was unhappy with doing her a favor, but agreed. Mai said that until they Dueled, Ryuzaki would be her slave. She also asked him if he knew what was "[[Something you can show, but can't see]]", but regretted asking when he answered that it was the octopus in a piece of [[wikipedia:Takoyaki|takoyaki]]. Ryuzaki was taken to Jonouchi, who accepted [[Joey and Rex's Duelist Kingdom Duel|the Duel]] and wagered two Star Chips.<ref name="d d 18">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist|18|ref}}</ref>
Ryuzaki stopped Jonouchi using his "[[Time Wizard]]" and "[[Baby Dragon]]" combo, by destroying "Baby Dragon" with "[[Two-Headed King Rex]]" on his first turn and guessed that "Time Wizard" was Jonouchi's face-down card.<ref name="d d 18" /> His [[Dinosaur]]s, powered by the [[Desert|Wasteland]], overwhelmed Jonouchi's monsters for the first few turns. Jonouchi then used "[[Flame Swordsman]]", whose fire-based attack weakened Dinosaurs,<ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist|19|ref}}</ref> to dispatch of some of Ryuzaki's monsters. Finally Ryuzaki Summoned, "[[Red-Eyes B. Dragon|Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]" and defeated "Flame Swordsman". He knew that "Time Wizard" was the only way Jonouchi stood a chance of beating "Red-Eyes", but thought Jonouchi would not know how to use it or be too afraid to try. Ryuzaki then remembered that Jonouchi defeated Mai with "Time Wizard" and thought that if he could get it himself, he would have no problem beating Mai. He imposed an ante, saying he would get "Time Wizard", if he won and Jonouchi would get "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" if he won. Mai objected and ordered Ryuzaki not to make the wager, but he refused to abide. However, the talk of "Time Wizard" reminded Jonouchi that he had the card face-down and Ryuzaki's desperation to win it made him realize it was more powerful than he considered. Jonouchi gambled and defeated Ryuzaki with the "Time Roulette" effect of "Time Wizard".<ref>{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! Duelist|name="d d 20|ref}}<" /ref>
