Card Appearances:Summoned Skull

Anime/Manga

 * In Duel 9 of the manga, this card is shown amongst a few other random cards, when Yugi and Grandpa are introducing Anzu and Jonouchi to Duel Monsters. Here it was a Level 7 monster and was called "デーモン" (Demon) in the Japanese version.

By the time in which this Duel took place, this card was the strongest card in Yugi's Deck. In the Japanese version, it was one of the five strongest monsters in the game. In the English manga, this was changed to say one of the five strongest Fiends.
