'''Rex Raptor''', known as '''Dinosaur Ryuzaki''' in the manga and Japanese [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|anime]], is a [[Dinosaur]] [[Duelist]]. Despite his introduction as a powerful Duelist, he becomes a source of humiliation along with his companion, [[Weevil Underwood]], after suffering defeat to [[Joey Wheeler]], and begins considering Joey his rival for this reason. Though Rex is vindictive, arrogant, and tyrannical, ; he plays fairly.
==Design==
[[File:Ryuzaki Linework.jpg|180px|thumb|left|Rex's design incorporates multiple layers of clothing and a wide range of expressions. Depicted here is the [[Duelist]] in full regalia from front and side views and alongside views of his head from different angles.]]
Rex's character design was overseen by [[Kazuki Takahashi]]. His usual outfit consists of a green jacket and a red beanie cap, plus tan pants. In Duelist kingdom, he wears a tan vest-thing on his jacket, and a black shirt. In Battle City onward, he wears a green jacket, and a yellow shirt. His hair is brown with dyed purple strands next to his forehead. He has purple-blue eyes, whenever his irises are shown (his pupils are usually too small to determine his eye color). He carries a [[KaibaCorp]] [[Duel Disk#Duel Disk (Version 2)|Duel Disk]] on his left hand. In the [[Waking the Dragons]] arc, he has a [[Chaos Duel Disk]].
In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie]]'', Ryuzaki has black hair with dyed pink strands and a purple cap.

==Biography==
===Toei anime=======''Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie''===<div style="float:right">[[File:RexintheMovie.png|180px|thumb|left|Rex in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie]]''.]]</div>
Rex appeared in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (Toei anime)|Toei anime]] movie ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie]]'', when he was seen getting up after losing to [[Seto Kaiba]].
===NAS anime=======''Yu-Gi-Oh!''=Duel Monsters========Duelist Kingdom=====
Rex, as the Western Japan Representative, participates in the Japanese National ''[[Duel Monsters]]'' tournament, where he loses to [[Weevil Underwood]] in the finals.
During his Duel with Joey, Rex gambled "[[Red-Eyes B. Dragon (anime)|Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]" in the hopes of winning Joey's "[[Time Wizard (anime)|Time Wizard]]". (In the anime, "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" was an incredibly rare card that Rex received as a prize for being a runner-up in the last tournament.) This infuriated Mai as it would mean, Rex's [[Main Deck|Deck]] would be even stronger if she had to face him. However, Joey won the Duel and he claimed Rex's star chips along with his "Red-Eyes Black Dragon" and his "[[Dragon Nails]]".
In the [[Battle City]] arc, he was seen briefly, losing to [[Espa Roba]], who cheated and had "[[Jinzo (anime)|Jinzo]]" crush Rex's "[[Serpent Night Dragon (anime)|Serpent Night Dragon]]". Rex then advised Joey on Roba's strength and left the tournament afterwards.
He later observed the semifinal match between Yugi and Kaiba in Domino City, amongst other Duelists.
In the [[Waking the Dragons]] arc, it was revealed that he and [[Weevil Underwood|Weevil]] lost a good deal of their popularity after the tournament and they eventually ended up wandering [[Domino City]] where they were ambushed by [[Gurimo]]. Their souls were taken, and later released when [[Yugi Muto]] defeated him.
Sebastian Arcelus replaces Sam Regal as Rex's voice for this season, which is why Rex's voice is higher pitched than it was in seasons 1 and 2.
Their next plan was to enter the [[KaibaCorp]] [[Grand Championship]], where they both impersonated [[Fortune Salim]]. They were quickly defeated by [[Zigfried von Schroeder]] and sent back to Japan by KaibaCorp. (In the dub, their fate after the Duel is unknown, although they were briefly seen after Yugi defeats [[Leon von Schroeder]], possibly in [[Domino City]], watching in disgust, indicating that they were sent back.)
Rex and Weevil's last attempt at revenge was to steal Yugi's [[Egyptian Gods|Egyptian God Cards]] from his house, where they mistakenly grabbed Yugi's bag containing all of his [[Millennium Items]]. Yugi tried to stop them, but couldn't catch up. While examining their prize, they were sent to the Shadow Realm by Yami Bakura, who stole the Millennium Ring back from them afterwards. While Zorc's rampage over Ancient Egypt was in full swing, the events then were affecting the modern world as well- where Rex was shown clinging on to a pole so to not to blown away by the wind. After Zorc's defeat, he was also seen.
Rex is shown in the last episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Dueling with [[Weevil Underwood|Weevil]] (cut from the dub).
