Blue eyes white dragon
Why BLUE EYES white dragon ,not BLUE EYED ?
Does anyone know why ?
Because , as far as I’m concerned , the latter is the correct form
Or maybe I just got it wrong?
if anyone in this world knows the answer to that , please write back ASAP
I am so so confused
Or maybe it’s just not about grammar at all ?

Probably for the same reason that Frank Sinatra was known as "Old Blue Eyes" and not "Old Blue Eyed": it's a nickname based on a striking physical feature, not an adjectival modifier of a following noun.

According to the Yugioh Fandom page on Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the character is a White Dragon named Blue-Eyes.
Despite being always called "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", or even simply
just the "White Dragon", Blue-Eyes always has a light blue body as
well as blue eyes.

It should actually be Blue-Eyes White Dragon (if you're referring to Yu-Gi-Oh! cards).
Blue-Eyes is the archetype (or series) of the card, so it's a proper noun, like Cook Out in Cook Out burgers, meaning burgers sold by Cook Out (the restaurant), not cookout burgers (burgers served or prepared at a cookout).
Click on the link for more on that, and search "attributive nouns" if necessary.

You would use the adjective formed from the past participle of the body part cast as a verb.
long-legged bird
pigeon-footed runner
blue-eyed dragon
long-eared rabbit
long-haired dog
saber-toothed tiger
and so forth.
If the question is specifically about a particular playing card of some kind, and not about the grammar of adjectives involving a body-part or attribute, then some other rule may be in effect.
