→Character biography
In the manga, Tristan starts out as Joey's street thug henchman. Eventually Tristan is no longer important to the story. In the manga, Tristan at first has a crush on Miho Nosaka but she rejects him. Tristan develops a crush on Joey's sister, Shizuka Kawai ([[Serenity Wheeler]]), and in the second series anime he fights with Ryuji Otogi ([[Duke Devlin]]) over her. In the manga, Tristan also owns a female dog named Blankey and has a nephew named Johji. Tristan is also a sharpshooter; Tristan says in the manga that when he was a kid, he could shoot a 100-yen piece with a BB gun from 50 feet. In the first series anime, Tristan is the head of the clean-up committee at school and often overdramatically cites his duty while doing things, which causes him to annoy his friends.
In the manga, Tristan Honda gets a crush over Miho, who is a minor character in the manga; Miho rejects him. In the first anime series, TristanHonda's crush on Miho spans the series, but Miho is seen having a crush on Ryo Bakura. In the first anime series, Tristan is Joey's verbal sparring partner instead of his crony, and he is head of the beautification committee at his school, which he dramatically brags about often. Tristan recalls that their friendship started after they participated in a relay race. In the Duel Monsters anime, Tristan and Tea are more or less cheerleaders for Yugi and Joey. His crush for Serenity was carried over to the Duel Monsters anime.
In the original Japanese version of Yu-Gi-Oh!, Honda tends to omit honorifics just like his friend Jonouchi does.
