He asks Bakura how he did that, but Bakura insists they focus on escaping right now.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|36|ref}}</ref> The two boys get cornered by guards, but Bakura fends them off by Summoning ''[[Duel Monsters]] '' from his cards. Tristan realizes this isn't the same Bakura he knows, and recognizes him as the evil spirit that trapped them in a [[Shadow Game]].<ref name="ep 37">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|37|ref}}</ref>

[[File:Tristan and Bakura save Mokuba.png|thumb|left|Tristan suspiciously questions Bakura, as they save Mokuba.]]Yami Bakura reveals that he's searching for a new host, since regular Bakura has betrayed him in the past. He demands Tristan to hand over Mokuba's soulless body, threatening to set more monsters on Tristan if he doesn't.<ref name="ep 37"/> Yami Bakura advises Tristan to do as he says, as he will get what he wants either way. Tristan pretends to go along with this, but chucks Mokuba's body at Bakura and then attacks him, knocking him out. Tristan takes back Mokuba and looks at the [[Millennium Ring]]. Understanding this to be the source of Bakura's evil half, he picks it up and tosses it out of the castle, far into the forest below them.<ref name= "ep 38">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|38|ref}}</ref>

Tristan returns to Yugi and Pegasus' Duel with Mokuba and Bakura's bodies. He sees that Yugi and Pegasus are now playing a Shadow Game and explains what happened with Yami Bakura to Joey and Téa.<ref name="ep 38"/>

The two of them celebrate after Joey wins.<ref name="ep 59"/> Before Tristan left, Serenity asked him to take her to the tournament the day her bandages are removed from her eyes, so the first thing she can see is her brother Dueling. Tristan agrees.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|60|ref}}</ref>

While searching for Yugi, they spotted Joey chasing [[Weevil's helper|a kid]] who stole his [[Duel Disk]]. Tristan leapt in front of the boy and grabbed him, ensuring Joey got the Duel Disk back.

He also buys her lunch.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|72|ref}}</ref><ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|73|ref}}</ref> After they arrive in [[Domino City]], Tristan calls Téa to find out where Joey is, but gets no answer, as she has been captured by the [[Rare Hunters]].<ref name="ep 75">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|75|ref}}</ref>

As they walked down the street, a group of Rare Hunters surrounded them. Tristan gets Serenity to climb on his back and runs from the hunters.<ref name="ep 75"/> The Rare Hunters manage to surround them again, so Tristan lets Serenity down so he can fight them.

Much to Joey's annoyance, Tristan, Téa and Duke crash in Joey's room on the blimp. Tristan planned to impress Serenity with the romantic view from the window, but was beaten to it, by Duke. Tristan apologizes to Joey for ruining his chance for quality time with his sister, but said he had to take this room, as he didn't want to disturb Yugi, who would be preparing for the finals. Joey reminds Tristan that he's a finalist too, but thanks him for taking Serenity to the tournament.<ref name="ep 81"/> Tristan watches Yugi’s Duel with [[Yami Bakura]], and he was suprised when he saw that [[Bakura Ryou|Bakura]] had somehow gotten the [[Millennium Ring]] back, after he had thrown it away during [[#Duelist Kingdom|Duelist Kingdom]].<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|82|ref}}</ref>

Tristan cheers for [[Mai Valentine|Mai]] during her Duel with Marik.<ref name="ep 90"/> He witnesses her lose and suffer a [[Penalty Game]].<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|92|ref}}</ref>

They are greeted by a projection of [[the Big Five]], who explain that they were trapped in cyberspace after they failed to trap Kaiba there during the [[#Legendary Heroes|Legendary Heroes]] game. For that they sought revenge on Kaiba and Yugi for helping him. Having Kaiba as a common enemy, Noah had uploaded their minds into his [[Noah's Virtual World|computer system]]. Using an altered form of ''[[Duel Monsters]]'', they plan to face the gang in order to claim possession of their bodies, so that they may exist in the real world.<ref name="ep 98"/>

The group are then transported to a virtual jungle, where they are given a demonstration of the [[Deck Master]] rules.<ref name="ep 98"/> The Big Five then seperate separate the gang, by making holes appear under them. After Serenity falls through a hole, Duke and Tristan run to help her, but fall through a hole together.<ref name="ep 99">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|99|ref}}</ref>

Duke and Tristan end up in a long hallway. After spending a while running down it, looking for Serenity, they conclude that the hall must loop infinitely. Since there's no exit, Tristan grabs an axe from a suit of armor and belts the wall hoping to create an exit.<ref name="ep 99"/> Duke gets another axe and assists him. Together they cut through the wall and end up on a balcony, high above the ground.<ref name="ep 100">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|100|ref}}</ref>

Tristan hears Serenity scream below and leaps down to tackle the [[Mad Sword Beast (anime)|Mad Sword Beast]] that's chasing her. He covers the dinosaur's eyes and causes it to charge into a lake.<ref name="ep 100"/>

The trio take a while to analyze the situation. Serenity says she's not afraid, since they've got Tristan, who she believes taught Joey everything he knows about ''Duel Monsters''. Tristan covers Duke's mouth to stop him telling her otherwise.<ref name="ep 106">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|106|ref}}</ref>

The group reach a door standing alone in the meadow. After opening it, they wind up in a hanger, similar to the place where the blimp landed. They are confronted by [[Nezbitt]], who has taken the form of "[[Robotic Knight (anime)|Robotic Knight]]". Nezbitt plans to Duel them one by one, starting with Serenity, but after much debate ends up facing the three of them at once.<ref name="ep 106"/>

Each of them construct a Deck and pick a [[Deck Master]]. Tristan selects "[[Super Roboyarou (anime)|Super Roboyarou]]" as his Deck Master.<ref name="ep 106"/>

Duke and Tristan spend the first two turns, trying to correct Serenity's mistakes. Tristan Summons weak monsters in [[Attack Position|Attack Mode]] to draw Nezbitt's attacks to him rather than Serenity. After pumping his new Deck Master, "[[Perfect Machine King (anime)|Perfect Machine King]]" to high [[ATK]], Nezbitt attacks one of Serenity's monsters, but Tristan uses his Deck Master, "[[Super Roboyarou (anime)|Super Roboyarou]]", to take the attack and prevent her from losing. He also uses its Deck Master effect to [[Set]] 1 card, raising its ATK to 2200. "Perfect Machine King" destroys "Super Roboyarou", defeating Tristan.<ref name="ep 106"/>

Tristan confesses to Serenity that he lied about teaching Joey how to play and that he isn't a great Duelist himself, before he is dropped through a trap door. His mind gets digitized, while his body is placed in a holding area.<ref name="ep 106"/>

Duke talks Serenity into continuing the Duel. Serenity manages to Summon "[[St. Joan (anime)|St. Joan]]", which is powered by Tristan's remaining monster, "[[Command Angel (anime)|Command Angel]]". Duke uses his "[[Strike Ninja (anime)|Strike Ninja]]'s" Deck Master effect to activate Tristan's [[face-down]] card, "[[Rare Metal Soul]]", which raises "St. Joan's" ATK high enough to defeat Nezbitt's Deck Master, winning them the Duel.<ref name="ep 107">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|107|ref}}</ref>

Despite losing, Nezbitt still takes Tristan's body, while Tristan wakes up in a warehouse in the body of a 2-foot-tall robotic monkey (bearing some resemblance to "[[Acrobat Monkey]]").<ref name="ep 107"/>

Tristan is horrified after seeing his robot monkey body in a mirror. He leaves the warehouse and spots Nezbitt, who is using his real body and attacking Kaiba with a kendo stick[[wikipedia:Shinai|shinai]]. Tristan leaps on Nezbitt's face, saving Kaiba. The imposter kidnaps Mokuba and takes off on a motorbike, followed by Kaiba. Tristan is unable to speak in his new body so he cannot tell his friends who he is. Serenity however, convinces the group that the monkey can be trusted, since it saved Kaiba.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|108|ref}}</ref>

Tristan watches Yugi and Joey Duel the Big Five together to win his body back.<ref name="ep 111"/> During the Duel Téa wonders why Tristan is starting to actually behave like a monkey, leading Tristan to think he is going insane. Although Yugi and Joey win the Duel, the Big Five make another attempt to forcefully steal the gang's bodies. Noah appears once more to stop them and sends them away with Tristan's body. The real Tristan is devastated as he now believes he will never get his body back.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|113|ref}}</ref>

The gang enter a subway. Tristan finds a handcar on the track and the gang ride on it. After the car spins out of control, the group end up in a lava arena, where Kaiba is Dueling Noah.<ref name="ep 114"/>

After Noah finds out that [[Gozaburo Kaiba]] had been using him and now wants to digitize the entire world, he tricks everyone into thinking they are entering an exit into the real world. In reality he is trapping them within their own memories. Duke, Serenity and Tristan return to the moment where they are being chased by the [[Rare Hunters]]. After a flash, they return to present day with the others and realise they were tricked by Noah.<ref name="ep 119"/>

Noah steals Mokuba's body to escape to the real world, where he organizes a missile attack to destroy the fortress, including the servers for the virtual world to foil his father's plans. After having a change of heart, he contacts the group and explains that they must get out out quickly before the virtual world is destroyed.<ref name="ep 120"/>

The five of them go to Noah, who is still using Mokuba's body to help Yugi, Kaiba and Mokuba escape. They leave things in his hands and return the [[Battle City]] blimp.<ref name="ep 121"/>

Yugi, Kaiba and Mokuba and Duke, Joey and Tristan help them get onto the departing blimp, as they leave Noah's fortress, before it gets destroyed.<ref name="ep 121"/>

The [[Battle City]] blimp lands on the "[[Alcatraz]]" island. Tristan, along with Téa and [[Duke Devlin|Duke]] watch the battle royale royal to determine who faces who in the finals, where they offer support to Yugi and Joey.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|122|ref}}</ref>

After it's decided that Joey will be Dueling [[Marik Ishtar|Marik]] next, Tristan quickly volunteers to tell SerentitySerenity, but Mokuba phones the blimp instead. Tristan joins Yugi, Téa and Duke to support Joey in his Duel.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|125|ref}}</ref> After Joey is rendered unconscious due to the pain he took from blast of "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra (originalanime)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]'s blast", he is declared the loser. The group then rush to his assistance. Tristan seizes Joey by the shoulders and starts shaking him, ordering him to wake up. When Joey is taken by KaibaCorp's doctors, Tristan drops to his knees and cries, begging the doctor to save Joey. He freaks out and grabs the doctor by the shirt, after the doctor says there's nothing he can do. After calming down, Tristan says he knows Joey is doing whatever it takes to wake up.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|128|ref}}</ref>

Tristan stays on the blimp with Joey, while Yugi faces Kaiba in the semi-finals. He tries to help Mokuba arrange an emergency helicopter for Joey.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|129|ref}}</ref> He returns to Joey's bedside to inform Téa, Serenity and Duke and Serenity about the helicopter.<ref>[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 130]]</ref> The group are able to see Yugi and Kaiba's [[Egyptian GodsGod|God cards]] battle through the window of the blimp. Tristan lifts up Joey and takes him over to the window, telling Joey that Yugi's in trouble and needs his help.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|133|ref}}</ref> Joey manages to wake up. Tristan weeps and tells him off for making them worry.<ref name="ep 134">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|134|ref}}</ref>

Tristan and the others go up the tower to watch the rest of Yugi and Kaiba's Duel.<ref name="ep 134"/> After that he supports Joey, during a third place play off, between him and Kaiba. Following Joey's defeat they proceed to watch Yugi face Marik in the final.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|135|ref}}</ref>

After Yugi wins, Kaiba announces that he's going to blow-up the tower in 1 hour. Tristan accuses him of being a sore loser for "trashing the place" after losing. The group proceeds to the blimp, to leave the island, where they find [[Mai Valentine|Mai]] and [[Ryo BakuraRyou|Bakura]] have woken up. After realizing the Kaiba brothers aren't there, Tristan joins the party to search for them.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|142|ref}}</ref>

Back at [[Domino City]], Tristan, Joey, Yugi, Téa, Serenity and Bakura say goodbye as they part ways with the Ishtars, Mai and Duke. Tristan gets mad after Duke gives Serenity his phone number and later slips Serenity his too.<ref name="ep 143"/>

Yugi, Téa, Joey and Tristan go the museum in order to recover Yami Yugi's memories. As Yugi holds the [[Egyptian Gods|Egyptian God]] cards, something holds him back. The group hear a scream and dash outside, finding a large number of living ''[[Duel Monsters]] '' in the city.<ref name="ep 145">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|145|ref}}</ref>

After Yugi's God cards get stolen by [[Dartz]] henchmen, Tristan watches Yugi Duel and defeat [[Gurimo]], who is using the soul sealing card "[[The Seal of Orichalcos (anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]".<ref name="ep 145"/><ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|146|ref}}</ref>

Afterwards they meet [[Rebecca Hawkins]], who takes them to her grandfather [[Arthur Hawkins|Arthur]]. Tristan is initially skeptical of Arthur's talk of a separate dimension, where real ''Duel Monsters '' exist (despite remembering all the adventures and experiences they had previously), and calls Arthur a "nutty Professor". This earns him a kick in the shins by Rebecca.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|147|ref}}</ref>

While at Yugi's house, with Téa and Joey, Yugi receives a tape from [[Industrial Illusions]]. Tristan suggests they chuck it out, as this is how [[Maximillion Pegasus|Pegasus]] stole Yugi's Grandpa's soul. Since Pegasus no longer has the [[Millennium Eye]], they agree to watch it. In the tape Pegasus invites Yugi to come to California, where he will explain the ''Duel Monsters '' phenomenon. Téa, Tristan and Joey insist on coming with Yugi. The next morning, they take a plane sent by Pegasus.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|148|ref}}</ref> After arriving in America they take Pegasus' limousine through the city.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|149|ref}}</ref>

After Kaiba refused them a lift,<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|159|ref}}</ref> Yami, Joey, Tristan and Téa take a train to Florida to face Dartz henchmen.

Tristan is seen in episode 8 during one of [[Syrus Truesdale|Syrus]]'s over-active imaginatory flash-forwards dueling on [[Zane Truesdale|Zane]]'s team. Although you don't actually see his face, his voice and unforgettable hairstyle give him away. This is most likely the most arguable sighting in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. He is also seen when [[Jaden Yuki|Jaden]] is taken to the past to Duel against the younger Yugi, he picks up a flyer that has a picture of [[Yugi Muto|Yugi]], [[Téa Gardner|Téa]], Tristan, [[Joey Wheeler|Joey]] and [[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba]].<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!
