Card Appearances:Hyozanryu
Yu-Gi-Oh![edit]
- In episode 60, this card can be seen in Seto Kaiba's briefcase when he offers all the rare cards inside the briefcase to Koji Nagumo.
- In the manga, this card was Koji Nagumo's rarest card. After beating an opponent, he was unhappy with the card he won through the ante rule, and he demanded his opponent give him a card of equal value to Hyozanryu or ¥100,000 (about US$900 at the time). After Mokuba Kaiba appears and calls foul, Seto Kaiba takes and tears up the card, claiming to have "36 cards just like this one" and that Nagumo was going to lose the card anyway in their duel.
- In episode 68, Kaiba uses this card during his Tag Duel with Yami Yugi against two Rare Hunters. He Special Summons this card and three "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" via the effects of two copies of "The Flute of Summoning Dragon". On Kaiba's next turn, he Tributes the three "Blue-Eyes White Dragons" to Summon "Obelisk the Tormentor". He then Tributes this card and "Lord of D." in order to activate the effect of "Obelisk the Tormentor".
- In episode 108, this card is shown in Kaiba's hand during his Duel against Leichter. In the next episode, "Spirit Ryu" attacks "Injection Fairy Lily". Leicther then activates the effect of "Injection Fairy Lily", paying 2000 Life Points to increase the ATK of "Injection Fairy Lily" by 3000 during the Damage Step only. Kaiba then activates this card's effect to discard this card and "Cave Dragon" and increase the ATK of "Spirit Ryu" by 2000 (1000 for each Dragon-type monster discarded this way). "Injection Fairy Lily" then destroys "Spirit Ryu", but Kaiba wanted this to happen as he needed to make Leichter's Life Points low enough for him to destroy "Injection Fairy Lily" without a problem.
- In episodes 108 and 109, this card appears in Leichter's flashbacks to Kaiba's childhood.
- In episode 147, this monster appears as a Duel Spirit.
- In episode 159, this card is shown when Weevil Underwood and Rex Raptor are taken to a vault within Paradius's headquarters that contains copies of every card in existence (with the exception of the Legendary Dragons and the Egyptian Gods).
- In episode 186, Yami Yugi uses this card during his Duel against the KC DuelTek 760 while the former was using Rick's Deck. He draws this card and five other Dragon-type monsters via the effect of "Heart of the Underdog". Yugi later discards this card and the five other Dragon-type Normal Monsters that he drew, so that "Spirit Ryu" would gain 1000 ATK for each Dragon discarded.
