The prisoner numbered 777, known as Jackpot in the English version of the Dungeon Dice Monsters video game, Jiro the Yellow Spider in the Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! first series anime and is unnamed in the manga is a convict prisoner.
[edit] In the manga
The Prisoner escaped from the Domino Prison with a stolen handgun after killing a guard. He holds Anzu hostage at the Burger World restaurant. After blindfolding her, he tells Yugi to get him Lucky Stripes cigarettes and booze. When Anzu yells help for Yugi, he slams her down. Yami Yugi comes out and challenges him to a game. The man aims his gun at Yugi and tells him that he will die after he lights his cigarette. While he is pouring the vodka, Yugi places the lighter on the man's hand. Yugi explains that the Russian vodka is 90% alcohol and that pulling the trigger would cause the lighter to fall into the vodka. The man is horrified while he is overfilling his vodka. Yugi leads Anzu away as the cigarette drops from the convict's mouth and lights the vodka ablaze, setting the convict is set on fire.
In the manga, the prisoner states that it was once written in a magazine that he was born under a lucky star, so a breakout would have been easy. Ironically, it was this trait that led to his defeat, as upon Yugi and Anzu leaving, he sighs in relief at how lucky he is to still be alive - causing his cigarette to drop onto the alcohol. In addition, he states that he had been on death row, and it is from this that he learned that blindfolding a person causes them to stay silent out of fear, while being muted has the opposite effect.
[edit] In the anime
In the anime, Honda and Miho are working with Anzu, and the prisoner, named Jiro the Yellow Spider, is the manager of the restaurant. He disguises himself as Tetsu Tasaki, another criminal, while committing several robberies. Eventually Jiro is exposed and he points a gun at Anzu. After Yugi places the lighter on his hand, Jiro disarms and turns off the lighter. Yugi puts a penalty game on him because he moved more than one finger, and the criminal thinks he is set on fire.
This event has not happened in the Yu-Gi-Oh! second series anime, as Yugi and Téa remember when Yugi and Joey first saw her working in Burger World.
