==Biography==
===History===
At some point in the past, Tristan heard Joey was getting into a fight with some gang members while standing up for a kid and rushed to his aid. Though, they defeated them, Joey thought Tristan did it because he saw Joey as a child who can't stand up for himself. Years later, Joey realized Tristan only did what he did because he was a true friend who would never abandon Joey.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|11|ref}}</ref>

===Duelist Kingdom===
Tristan and Téa sneak onto the boat to the [[Duelist Kingdom]]. They save Yugi and Joey from drowning, by throwing them a rope ladder, after Joey attempted to recover Yugi's "[[Exodia the Forbidden One (anime)|Exodia]]" cards that [[Weevil Underwood]] had thrown overboard.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|3|ref}}</ref>

During the preliminaries, he cheers Yugi and Joey on from the sidelines of their Duels.

Tristan attacks [[Kemo]], after seeing him grab a young boy. Kemo avoids being injured and recaptures the boy, explaining that he was to be evicted for losing his [[Star Chips]].<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|8|ref}}</ref>

During an argument between him and Joey, Tristan accidentally reveals that he has been making several attempts to construct a Deck of his own, with one of his cards being "[[Lava Battleguard (anime)|Lava Battleguard]]". In the dub, Joey reveals that Tristan's monster and his "[[Swamp Battleguard (anime)|Swamp Battleguard]]" could be related. Tristan lends Joey the card, before [[Mai Valentine]] forces Joey into a Duel with [[Rex Raptor]] for revenge. The greatly helps Joey in the Duel. Joey compares how the Battleguards work together, to himself and Tristan.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|11|ref}}</ref>

[[File:Cyber Commander Tristan.png|thumb|right|Tristan as the [[Cyber Commander (anime)|Cyber Commander]].]]
After the gang meet-up with Bakura. [[Yami Bakura]] traps Yugi, Téa, Tristan, Joey, and Bakura's souls in Duel Monster cards and Duels [[Yami Yugi]]. Tristan is Summoned after Yami Yugi plays "[[Cyber Commander (anime)|Cyber Commander]]". He is destroyed by Bakura's "[[White Magical Hat (anime)|White Magical Hat]]" in the first attack and sent to the [[Graveyard]]. He is returned to the field when Yami Yugi plays "[[Monster Reborn (anime)|Monster Reborn]]". When Yugi is Summoned as the "[[Dark Magician (anime)|Dark Magician]]", Tristan learns there are two Yugis. After Yami Yugi ends the Shadow Game, everyone apart from Yugi and Bakura, believed the game was just a dream.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|13|ref}}</ref>

As Yugi and Joey are about to enter the [[Duelist Kingdom]] finals, Kemo refuses Tristan, Téa and Bakura entry as they aren't finalists. Mai flirts with Kemo, distracting him long enough for the others to run inside.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|26|ref}}</ref>

Tristan suspected [[Maximillion Pegasus|Pegasus]] of cheating against Kaiba. The night before the finals, he, Téa and Bakura inspected the area, where the Pegasus and Kaiba Dueled. They noticed a beam of light was entering the room through a hole in the wall. After peering through the hole, they found there was a tower that could have been used to spy on Kaiba's hand with the aid of a telescope. The group infiltrated the tower and found the portrait of [[Cecelia Pegasus]]. Pegasus confronted the intruders and, using his [[Millennium Eye]], transported them to another chamber, where some occult activity took place. As Pegasus attempted to use his Millennium Eye on them, Yami Bakura countered with the [[Millennium Ring]]. Yami Bakura then transported Tristan, Téa and Bakura back to their rooms, causing them to forget the events of this night.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|28|ref}}</ref>

Tristan cheered for Yugi and Joey from the sidelines during the final rounds.

When Yugi Dueled Pegasus, Tristan took time to search Pegasus castle to find Mokuba's body. He hides inside a suit of armor, while sneaking around the dungeons. He accidentally opened a secret passageway after tripping and grabbing a gargoyle to prevent himself falling over completely. Tristan takes out the man guarding Mokuba's cell, by shoving a helmet from another suit of armor on his head. He takes the guard's key and unlocks Mokuba's cell, which sets off a security alarm. Tristan removed the armor and carried Mokuba on his back.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|35|ref}}</ref>

On his way out, Tristan is confronted by two of Pegasus' goons. [[Yami Bakura]] appears and uses "[[Chain Energy (anime)|Chain Energy]]" to create real chains of energy, which tie up the goons. Tristan and Bakura make their escape before the chains dissipate. Tristan is unaware of Yami Bakura's existence and thinks this is the [[Bakura Ryou|regular Bakura]]. 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" />

Joey, Téa and Tristan are unable to see the Duel, as its surrounded by a strange dark matter, but they have a feeling something bad has happened to Yugi. Tristan tries running into the darkness, but immediately comes out the other side.<ref name="ep 38" />

After Bakura wakes up, Tristan explains how the Ring was making him act weird, so he threw it away.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|39|ref}}</ref>

After the tournament, Tristan and his friends are taken home by [[Seto Kaiba]], as all the boats had left.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|41|ref}}</ref>

===Legendary Heroes===
Tristan and his friends agree to help [[Mokuba Kaiba|Mokuba]] rescue [[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba]], after Kaiba got trapped into a virtual world, by [[the Big Five]]. There are 3 remaining pods into the virtual world. Mokuba and Yugi take two, while Joey and Tristan argue over who gets the other one. Tristan eventually stays behind with Téa to work the controls.<ref name="ep 43">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|43|ref}}</ref>

To pass the time, he tries talking about his first crush and his essay about his dream of being a pilot. In the dub, he tries showing Téa his facial hair. Téa shows no interest in any of those. After hearing people outside, they barricade the door.<ref name="ep 43" />

They manage to hold off the guards, until Mokuba, Yugi and Joey return with Kaiba.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|45|ref}}</ref>

===Battle City===
After Yugi's Duel with [[Bandit Keith]], who was possessed by [[Marik Ishtar]], Joey and Tristan break down the door into the burning building. Keith rushes out and Joey and Tristan go inside to rescue Yugi. Yugi refuses to leave without his [[Millennium Puzzle]], which is stuck to a wall, by a needle-like beam jammed into its chain. Tristan grabs Yugi's Deck from the Duel arena. He then returns to help Joey free the Puzzle. He and Joey push a pipe through the hole on the beam and use it as a lever to remove the beam.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|51|ref}}</ref>
[[File:TristanTaylor.jpg|thumb|left|Tristan wearing his motorcycle gear]]
[[File:DMx055 Honda talks sense in Jonouchi.jpg|thumb|right|Tristan reminding [[Joey Wheeler]] that [[Serenity]] needs him (cut from the dub)]]
In a scene cut from the dub, after Joey goes missing, shortly before Joey's sister [[Serenity Wheeler|Serenity]]'s eye operation, Tristan scanned the streets on his motorbike searching for him. Tristan found Joey on the beach. Joey was moping about losing his "[[Red-Eyes B. Dragon (anime)|Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]" card to [[Seeker|a Rare Hunter]] and feels unworthy to face Serenity. Tristan punches Joey and reminds him how Serenity needs him. After talking sense into Joey, he takes him to the hospital to see Serenity.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|55|ref}}</ref>

Tristan developed a crush on Serenity. Shortly before the [[Battle City]] tournament, he visited her in the hospital and impressed her by lying that he is the one who taught Joey what he knows about Dueling. Joey made a phone call to the hospital and was enraged to hear that Tristan is with Serenity and the lies he told her.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|56|ref}}</ref>

Tristan visited Serenity again after the tournament starts. He brought a laptop, so he could keep her updated on how Joey's doing in the tournament. He forgets how to turn on the laptop and has a nurse set it up. Although Joey was losing, Tristan couldn't break it to Serenity and lied about Joey's performance.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|58|ref}}</ref>

When the nurse returned to take Serenity's temperature, Tristan stepped out of the room and made a call to Téa. He got her to pass a message on to Joey; that Serenity believes in him and he's not to give-up.<ref name="ep 59">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|59|ref}}</ref>

When Tristan returned to Serenity's room, she reveals that the nurse told her that Joey is losing and makes Tristan promise to keep her truthfully informed on Joey's Duel, so she can support him when needed. 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>

Tristan met-up with Téa, [[Solomon Muto|Grandpa]] and [[Mokuba Kaiba|Mokuba]]. They explained that Yugi has been missing and they've managed to track his location. They manage to catch Yugi, just after he defeats [[Arkana]].<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|62|ref}}</ref>

Téa and Tristan agreed to meet-up with Yugi the next day. However, Tristan takes time to flirt with Serenity on the phone, causing them to be late and miss Yugi. Grandpa decides to help them find Yugi.<ref name="ep 63">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|63|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. The boy lied that he had stolen it because [[Weevil Underwood]] stole his own Deck, but had actually taken it to sneak "[[Parasite Paracide (anime)|Parasite Paracide]]" into Joey's Deck.<ref name="ep 63" />

The boy takes them to where he saw Weevil. Shortly afterwards Weevil shows up and Tristan prepares to beat him up for taking the boy's cards. However, Joey insists that he Duel Weevil. Tristan advises Joey to be cautious and cheers for Joey from the sideline of the Duel.<ref name="ep 63" />

Hasty to have Joey qualify for the finals, Tristan tried talking Joey into Dueling a participant he could easily beat, but Joey's pride was too strong to get into the finals the easy way.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|66|ref}}</ref>

Tristan, Téa and Grandpa accompany Joey to the aquarium, where Joey faces [[Mako Tsunami]].<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|67|ref}}</ref>

After Joey defeats Mako and qualifies for the finals, he needs someone to collect Serenity. Much to Joey's distress, Tristan eagerly volunteers and takes off before Joey can stop him.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|68|ref}}</ref>

Tristan takes Serenity to the tournament by train. On the way they talk about Joey, and Tristan tells her some of the rules of ''[[Duel Monsters]]''. At the same time he is also trying to flirt with her. But when Serenity said that she thinks Tristan was an awesome ''friend'', he gets frustrated at this because he thought that she should have thought more highly of him.  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>

[[File:DMx075 Tristan takes Serenity on his back.jpg|thumb|left|Tristan takes Serenity on his back to escape the Rare Hunters.]]
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. He manages to take care of two of the Hunters, but the third grabs Serenity. As Tristan goes to save her, one of the two he just attacks, punches him onto the ground. The two of them are saved by [[Duke Devlin]], who fires dice at the Rare Hunters.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|76|ref}}</ref>

The three of them continue to look for Joey. Thinking he might be in the finals, they decide to ask Duelists, who may have qualified for the finals, where the finals are on. Unsuccessful, Tristan returns to Duke and Serenity, disgusted to find Duke used the time to flirt with Serenity.<ref name="ep 77">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|77|ref}}</ref>

The Rare Hunters reappear, so the group split into two; Duke takes Serenity to safety, while Tristan takes care of the Hunters. Tristan beats-up the three of them and demands to know the location of his fiends. he learns they're at [[Domino Pier]], before [[Mai Valentine|Mai's]] car pulls-up, with herself, Duke and Serenity inside. Tristan gets inside and has Mai take them to the pier.<ref name="ep 77" />

The group arrive at the pier, where they find Joey, possessed by [[Marik Ishtar|Marik]] is Dueling Yugi.<ref name="ep 77" /> Tristan pulls Yugi out of the water after the Duel.<ref name="ep 78">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|78|ref}}</ref>

After the Duel, while Joey is feeling ashamed of himself, Tristan reminds him how he has fought hard for Serenity.<ref name="ep 78" />

Mai takes the group by car to the location of the finals.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|79|ref}}</ref> Tristan and the other non-finalists are initially refused entry on the blimp, where the quarter-finals are to take place, but Mokuba allows them on.<ref name="ep 81">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|81|ref}}</ref>

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 tells Duke off for doubting Yugi during the Duel.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|83|ref}}</ref> When Yugi is forced to either attack [[Bakura Ryou]], who is in weak form or be disqualified, Tristan and Joey try entering the field to help. However, Joey gets threatened with disqualification, so Tristan and Duke end up having to restrain Joey.<ref name="ep 84">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|84|ref}}</ref>

Yami Bakura took control of Bakura once again and let Yugi attack him. Bakura still ended up injured, so Tristan carried his body back to his room and tried to talk Kaiba into landing the blimp later. Afterwards, he notices Bakura's Ring is gone again.<ref name="ep 84" />

[[File:DMx085 Hang tight.jpg|thumb|right|Tristan and Duke hang over the edge of the blimp.]]

Tristan was disguisted by Duke flattering Serenity about her speech to Kaiba to make an emergency stop for Bakura. He dragged Duke away from her in order to search for the Millennium Ring. They searched the top of the blimp where the Duel was held, but started fighting over Serenity. As a result they end up hanging over the edge of the blimp. Tristan held Duke with one hand, the blimp with the other and called for help. [[Shadi]] appears and helps them both up. After taking a moment of relief, Tristan looked up to thank their rescuer, only to find he had disappeared.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|85|ref}}</ref>

Tristan cheers for Joey during his Duel with [[Odion Ishtar]], who they initially believe to be [[Marik Ishtar|Marik]].<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|86|ref}}</ref> After both Duelists are rendered unconcious after being struck by lightning, Tristan tries to run to Joey's assistance, but [[Roland]] doesn't allow it.

===Virtual World===
The Battle City blimp gets rerouted into a mechanical fortress in the sea by [[Noah Kaiba]]. Yugi, Joey, Tristan, Téa, Serenity, Duke, Kaiba, Mokuba and two of Kaiba's guards emerge from the blimp. Noah instructs them to go straight ahead, but points his weapons at Kaiba's guards ordering them to stay back as they aren't Duelists. Duke points out that Tristan doesn't Duel either, but Tristan hushes him. Joey advises Serenity to turn back, but Tristan supports Serenity's argument to come with them, reminding Joey that Marik is still on the blimp.<ref name="ep 98">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|98|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 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>

[[File:DMx100 Duke and Tristan teamwork.jpg|thumb|left|Duke and Tristan break through the wall.]]
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" />

Tristan catches a cold from the lake and gets in a fight with Duke, who accuses him of spreading germs.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|104|ref}}</ref>

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>

[[File:Monkey Tristan.png|thumb|right|Tristan as a robot monkey.]]
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 [[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>

[[File:DMx108 Monkey Tristan vs the imposter.jpg|thumb|left|Monkey Tristan attacks Nezbitt (in Tristan's body).]]
Tristan, much to his pleasure, spends most of his time being carried by Serenity. While speaking fondly of her, Tristan accidentally hits a switch on his body, allowing him to speak properly and let everyone hear what he was saying. Although he behaves like Tristan, the group is still unsure it really is him, suspecting he may have been sent by Noah.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|109|ref}}</ref>

Tristan, Joey, Serenity and Duke are encountered by the four remaining members of the Big Five, who attempt to steal more bodies. The gang try make their escape in a truck, driven by Joey. However the truck overturns and the four close in on them.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|110|ref}}</ref> While they argue over who gets which body, Noah appears and tells the four off for acting so dishonorably behind his back. 

Since Nezbitt didn't rightfully win Tristan's body, Noah tells the Big Five to share Tristan's body and if they defeat Yugi they will be allowed to escape to the real world.<ref name="ep 111">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|111|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>

Since Noah designed Tristan's monkey body, Duke suggest they search it for clues. After pushing buttons and activating a few unwanted functions, one of them opens a virtual door to [[KaibaLand]]. As the group enter the park, Tristan involuntarily turns on them and a set of guns emerge from his hands. He warns them not to enter, but Yugi and Joey knock him aside, returning him to normal.<ref name="ep 114">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|114|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" />

Noah defeats Kaiba by manipulating him with Mokuba. Yugi continues to Duel Noah in place of Kaiba and Noah introduces a rule where each turn, he turns one of Yugi's friends to statues.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|117|ref}}</ref> Eventually, monkey Tristan becomes such a victim. After all his friends have been turned to stone, Yugi imagines they are at his side and each of them gives him a card drawn from "[[Card of Sanctity]]'s" effect.<ref>[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 118]]</ref> After Yugi wins, the group are unpetrified.<ref name="ep 119">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|119|ref}}</ref>

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" />

Tristan believes they shouldn't have trusted Noah. The gang tries to come up with a plan, but Gozaburo sets monsters on them.<ref name="ep 120">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|120|ref}}</ref>

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" />

Noah tells them to go the arcade where the real exits are located. Téa, Serenity and Tristan get to the arcade first, while Yugi, Duke and Joey fight off more of Gozaburo's monsters. Noah directs them to the stage, which transports their consciousnesses back to the real world. They wake up in their pods back in the real world, where Tristan finally returns to his real body (much to his relief). Shortly afterwards, they're followed by Joey and Duke.<ref name="ep 121">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|121|ref}}</ref>

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" />

===Battle City finals===
The [[Battle City]] blimp lands on the "[[Alcatraz]]" island. Tristan, along with Téa and [[Duke Devlin|Duke]] watch the battle 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>

[[File:DMx128 Tristan demands Joey to wake.jpg|thumb|right|Tristan demands Joey to wake-up.]]
After it's decided that Joey will be Dueling [[Marik Ishtar|Marik]] next, Tristan quickly volunteers to tell Serenity, 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 (anime)|The Winged Dragon of Ra]]", 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 about the helicopter.<ref>[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 130]]</ref> The group are able to see Yugi and Kaiba's [[Egyptian God|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 [[Bakura Ryou|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>

Unable to find the Kaibas they return to the blimp, whose engines are failing. Instead they take the emergency helicopter that had came for Joey. They escape the island, as it explodes and see the Kaibas escaping in the Blue-Eyes jet.<ref name="ep 143">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|143|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" />

===Waking the Dragons===
Yugi, Téa, Joey and Tristan go the museum in order to recover Yami Yugi's memories. As Yugi holds the [[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>

The limo stops at an abandoned gas station, where the driver deserts them.<ref>[[Yu-Gi-Oh! - Episode 150]]</ref> A group of bikers approach the limo. Although Tristan tries telling them they don't want trouble and advises them to move on, the bikers don't leave. They are saved by [[Mai Valentine]], who arrives on her own motorbike and assaults the bikers, before taking off herself. Tristan drives the limousine from there, escaping before the gas station explodes. The limousine overheats, stranding the group in the desert. They manage to thumb a lift in the back of a truck from there.<ref name="ep 151">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|151|ref}}</ref>

By the time they reach [[Industrial Illusions]], Pegasus has been defeated by Mai, who along with Dartz other henchmen have taken over the building. The group get trapped inside while Joey is forced to Duel Mai, who is using "The Seal of Orichalcos".<ref name="ep 151" /><ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|152|ref}}</ref>

With the Duel prematurely ended, the gang meet up with [[Seto Kaiba|Kaiba]] and [[Duke Devlin|Duke]]. Dartz's henchmen leave and the group go upstairs where they are greeted by a hologram of Pegasus, who tells them about Dartz' motives.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|154|ref}}</ref>

Duke gives the group a lift in his car to [[Arthur Hawkins]]' house.<ref name="ep 155">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|155|ref}}</ref>

After learning Yugi went off on his own during the night, Tristan, Joey and Duke go after him.<ref name="ep 155" /> They find him Dueling [[Rafael]]. Yugi loses, causing the three guys to think he's lost his soul. They try to wake him up and find that Yugi's soul has been taken, while Yami Yugi's remains.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|158|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. After a while, Tristan notices all the other passengers have disappeared. While they investigate, the train splits in two, separating Tristan and Joey from Yami and Téa.<ref name="ep 160">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|160|ref}}</ref>

After, Tristan and Joey's fraction of the train slows down and stops, they leave it and find Rex Raptor.<ref name="ep 160" /> Tristan watches Joey Duel and defeat Rex, who was using "The Seal of Orichalcos".<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|162|ref}}</ref> After carrying Rex's body through the desert, they see Kaiba's plane crash land, aided by the [[Legendary Dragons]] and meet-up with their friends at the scene.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|167|ref}}</ref>

Kaiba gives everyone a lift to Florida, where the group split up. Tristan and Téa go to alert the police. The police turn out to be possessed by the [[Orichalcos]] and set an [[Orichalcos Soldier]] on them. While running from the soldier, Joey passes them. Tristan advises Téa to go warn the others, while he stops Joey from running into the possessed folk.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|168|ref}}</ref>

Joey ignores Tristan's advice and the two get split up when Joey takes a motorbike to chase after [[Valon]]. Shortly afterwards, Tristan is confronted by Mai, demanding to know where Joey is. Tristan tells her that he went after Valon and blames her. With Mai now after Joey, Tristan admits defeat and is attacked by an Orichalcos Soldier. Tristan prepares to fight him, but is saved by Yami Yugi in the nick of time.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|169|ref}}</ref> Rebecca hacks into KaibaCorp's satellite, allowing her to find Joey's exact location using the signal from his [[Duel Disk]].<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|171|ref}}</ref> By the time Tristan, Téa and Yami Yugi find Joey, he has already lost to Mai and find his soulless body lying with Valon's.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|173|ref}}</ref>

Tristan and Téa fall behind Yami Yugi on the way to [[Paradius]]' building, as they carry Joey, but meet with up with the Kaiba brothers. Once inside the building, they find Mai has lost her soul and Yami has started another Duel with [[Rafael]].

===Dawn of the Duel===
Tristan goes with his friends to the [[World of Memories]]. During their battle with [[Thief King Bakura]], Tristan's mind was taken over by [[Yami Bakura]], but returned after Yugi defeats Bakura. He later watches Yugi and Atem's Duel along with his friends cheering them both on. He expressed sadness at Atem showing up to change everybody's lives and then just leave.

===Yu-Gi-Oh! GX===
Tristan is 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! GX|179|ref}}</ref>
