Dinosaur Ryuzaki (Rex Raptor in the English dub) is a supporting antagonist in the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series.
In the Japanese version, he was formerly voiced by Hiroyuki Fujii and currently by Yuichi Nakamura. In the English version, he was formerly voiced by Anthony Salerno and Sebastian Arcelus and currently by Sam Riegel (who also voiced Arkana in the same series, Viral in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Zaku Abumi in Naruto, Clovis la Britannia in Code Geass, Maki Ichinose in Bleach, Starscream in Transformers: War for Cybertron and Fall of Cybertron and Dark Donatello in the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series).
Overview[]
Dinosaur Ryuzaki plays a deck focusing on dinosaur type monsters, though his mightiest monsters are dragon type. He is the runner-up in the regional championship, losing the final round to Insector Haga. He is not a cheater like Haga but is a jerk all the same.
However, the last seasons of the anime adaptation portray him as a joke easily dispatched by the villains and willing to sell his soul to get revenge on Katsuya Jonouchi (Joey Wheeler in the English dub). They also portray him as Haga's best friend and partner in crime, something much less apparent in the manga.
After being eliminated in the first round in Dueling Kingdom, He and Haga became unpopular and people are making fun of them. They were beaten up by three bullies who helped a kid of getting his card back.
Biography[]
Waking the Dragons[]
In Season 4, Waking the Dragons, Ryuzaki and Haga attempted to steal Yugi and Jonouchi's rare cards, but were challenged to a duel by Gurimo, who beat them and took their souls. They were released after Yugi defeated Gurimo. Ryuzaki and Haga snuck aboard during Yugi's trip over to Pegasus' castle in the hopes of finding rare cards and tried to get an Orichalcos card from Rafael, becoming two of Dartz's henchmen after hitchhiking aboard Rafael's helicopter. Ryuzaki dueled Jonouchi in a train station as revenge for taking his Red-Eyes Black Dragon and was defeated. His soul was taken by the Orichalcos and was released when Dartz and the Orichalcos God were defeated.
Grand Championship[]
In the first half of Season 5, Grand Championship, Ryuzaki and Haga entered Kaiba's tournament as one duelist and dueled Siegfried von Schroeder, who easily defeated them with his Valkyries.
Dawn of the Duel[]
In the second half of Season 5, Dawn of the Duel, Ryuzaki and Haga stole Yugi's Millennium Items and Egyptian God Cards (only going after the latter) but ran into Dark Bakura, who knocked them out (temporarily trapped their souls in the Shadow Realm in the 4Kids dub) and returned the cards and items to Yugi. They suffered a lot of the consequences of Zorc ravaging the past but survived it all.

- Only Duel Monster Anime version of Rex Raptor can be consider truly villainous. As most of his crimes only take place in Anime only arcs. In fact, nothing suggest that his life when down hill after Battle City Arc in Manga because him and Haga never reappear after.
