A dark dragon that is commonly seen as a counterpart to the Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Its link to Blue-Eyes is explicitly stated in the first movie: "The Blue-Eyes brings power, while the Red-Eyes brings potential". While the Blue-Eyes is stronger in terms of pure power, the Red-Eyes has a greater number of alternate forms that can overpower the Blue-Eyes. The Red-Eyes is one of Joey Wheeler's strongest cards. It originally belonged to Rex Raptor, but he bet it against Joey in the hopes of seizing his Time Wizard. Joey instead used that same card to fossilize Rex's dinosaur monsters and thus claimed victory, along with his favorite card.[6] The card goes on to become a key card in Joey's deck, and he gradually integrates more and more cards to strengthen the dragon and call forth its alternate forms. In the Battle City arc, Joey loses the card to a Rare Hunter, which is then reclaimed by Yugi. Joey declines to take the card back, saying he would reclaim when he grows as a duelist and beats Yugi in a duel. Whilst the conclusion to their duel is never seen, following arcs in the anime show Joey has Red-Eyes in his deck, implying that he won.

The card is also used by Nightshroud and his host, Atticus Rhodes in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. Nightshroud uses the full extent of the card's power through a wide array of cards based around it, including Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon. After Nightshroud is defeated, his spirit is sealed in the card and Atticus periodically calls on its power for assistance, though he does use Red Eyes outside of his Nightshroud form. Red-Eyes also makes an appearance in the first Yu-Gi-Oh! movie, as a card found by Shougo Aoyama, and finds himself under pursuit by Kaiba
