 * Joey first used this card in his duel against Weevil Underwood by sacrificing Swordsman of Landstar. It destroyed Weevil's Flying Kamakiri, and subsequently attacked Kiseitai, which resulted in the card leeching off of it to increase Weevil's Life Points.

Joey later sacrificed this card (with Kiseitai still attached to it) so that Panther Warrior could attack.

Lector's Jinzo was eventually used to summon Five-Headed Dragon, while Joey's was destroyed by the presence of Five-Headed Dragon being summoned.
