Details

• Jack Atlas stole this card from Yusei Fudo along with the first Duel Runner Yusei made, before acquiring his fame in New Domino City. The start of the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime revolves around Yusei trying to get to Jack to win back the card.

• After Yusei escapes into Neo Domino City, Jack gives him the card, but Yusei insists that he Duel Jack for it. As they Duel, Jack Summons both "Red Dragon Archfiend" and "Stardust Dragon", but Yusei manages to take control of "Stardust". The dragons clashing causes the Crimson Dragon to appear prematurely ending their Duel. Yusei is arrested before he can reclaim the card.

• At the Facility, Tenzen Yanagi tells Yusei about Signers and the Signer Dragons, which leads Yusei to deduce "Stardust Dragon" is one of these sacred dragons.

• Jack later returns the card to Yusei and asks him if he'll be participating in the Fortune Cup.

• When Bolt Tanner asks if Yusei plans on using "Stardust Dragon", Yusei states he's saving "Stardust Dragon" for the final game in the Fortune Cup against Jack, but he adds it to his Deck to help reach out to Akiza Izinski in his Duel with her.

• When summoning "Stardust Dragon", Yusei says in Japanese, "Clustering hopes will become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon! Take flight, Stardust Dragon!" while Jack says "Behold the wings guided by the great winds! Synchro Summon! Reverberate. Stardust Dragon!"

• In the Japanese anime, "Stardust Dragon's" attack is "Shooting Sonic" and its effect is "Victim Sanctuary". In the English anime its attack name is "Cosmic Flare", while its effect name remains unchanged from the Japanese version.
  • In "Bonds Beyond Time" when Yugi, Jaden, and Yusei attack with a powered-up Stardust Dragon, its attack name is "Shooting Spiral Sonic"(In the dub version of the movie, the attack was called "Dark Cosmic Wave").

• This is Yusei's signature card. Its effect to Tribute itself to negate the effect of a card that destroys the controller's cards represents Yusei's willingness to risk his own life, whether it be for his friends, his loved ones, or strangers in need.

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's

• In episode 2, Jack is shown holding this card while he was talking to Rex Goodwin. He then flings it from across the room into his Deck, where it slides safely in.
  • A flashback in the same episode shows Yusei Summoning "Stardust Dragon", while riding a Duel Runner for the first time, while Rally, Tank, Nervin, Blitz and Jack watch it "fly".

• In episode 4, Yusei states to Jack he wants this card back. Jack throws it to him, but Yusei soon throws it back to Jack. Yusei states that he will get it back when he and Jack Duel each other. When Yusei and Jack arrive at the stadium, Jack holds this card up in the air and states to Yusei he made a foolish choice of choosing to duel him as he has already lost his chance at getting this card back. During Yusei and Jack's Turbo Duel, Jack Synchro Summons this card by tuning "Small Piece Golem" and "Medium Piece Golem" with "Sinister Sprocket". In the next episode, "Red Dragon Archfiend" destroys "Junk Warrior". The effect of "Red Dragon Archfiend" then activates, destroying "Shield Warrior". This card then attacks Yusei directly. Next turn "Red Dragon Archfiend" attacks "Sonic Chick". The latter is not destroyed due to its effect, but the effect of "Red Dragon Archfiend" then activates, destroying "Sonic Chick", but Yusei activates "Remote Revenge" to destroy both of Jack's Dragons by negating the effect of "Red Dragon Archfiend". Jack then Tributes this card to activate its effect, negating the effect of "Remote Revenge" and destroying it. On the End Phase, Jack resurrects this card via its own effect. Yusei then uses "Harmonia Mirror" to take control of this card. Yusei then uses "Speed Spell - Silver Contrails" to increase this card's ATK by 1000 during the Battle Phase this turn. This card then attacks "Red Dragon Archfiend", but Jack activates "Synchro Deflector" to negate the attack and destroy "Sonic Chick". Yusei then summons "Ghost Gardna" to the field. "Red Dragon Archfiend" then attacks this card, but Yusei uses "Ghost Gardna's" effect to redirect the attack to it instead, destroying it. This activates its effect, decreasing the ATK of "Red Dragon Archfiend" by 1000 until the end of the turn. Yusei then uses "Counterattack Beacon" to increase this card's ATK by 500 and conduct battle between it and "Red Dragon Archfiend". Jack then plays "Prideful Roar" to pay Life Points equal to the ATK difference between this card and "Red Dragon Archfiend" and increase "Red Dragon Archfiend's" ATK by the ATK difference plus 300. However Yusei then banishes "Shield Warrior" to prevent this card from being destroyed by battle this turn. The attack continues, but "Stardust Dragon" is not destroyed, however Yusei still takes Battle Damage. Jack then activates "Speed Spell - The End of the Storm" to destroy all monsters out on the field and inflict 300 damage to both players for each monster destroyed, but Yusei chains that with "Meteor Stream". Yusei then tries to Tribute this card to negate the effect of "The End of the Storm" and destroy it, however the effects of "The End of the Storm" and "Meteor Stream" do not resolve as both players' Duel Runners, at this point, begin to fail, thus ending the Duel with no result. Had the Duel continued, Yusei would have won the Duel.

• In episode 6, this card is seen in a flashback that shows the Turbo Duel between Yusei and Jack which was on a monitor.

• In episode 8, this card is shown in a flashback Yusei has when Tenzen Yanagi explains to him that there are five Signers and five Signer Dragons.

• In episode 9, this card is seen in a flashback that Yusei and Jack have when they remember the Crimson Dragon appearing during their Turbo Duel against each other.

• In episode 14, Jack takes this card out of his Deck and takes it with him when he goes to meet Yusei. Once Jack finds Yusei, he shows this card to him, knowing Yusei wants it back. He then asks Yusei if he'll participate in the Fortune Cup. Yusei states he is participating. Jack states it would be fitting for Yusei to use this card again when they Duel again because they can then settle the score this time. Yusei then explains why he is entering. Jack then states that would mean Yusei would have to really hold on to this card. Jack then throws this card back to Yusei before he leaves.

• In episode 23, Yusei takes this card out and places it in his Deck because he realizes that Akiza is being used by the Arcadia Movement and that she has hatred and anger in her heart. He believes that using this card may bring out Akiza's true self.
  • This card is also shown in a flashback when Rex Goodwin reminds Jack that he wants to see the power that Yusei and Jack created when they had their Turbo Duel in the stadium that night.

• In episode 24, Yusei uses this card in his Ground Duel against Akiza Izinski. Before he actually plays this card, he requests this card to lend him its power. Yusei then Synchro Summons this monster by tuning "Junk Warrior" with "Junk Synchron". He then uses this monster to attack and destroy Akiza's "Black Rose Dragon". Akiza then revives "Black Rose Dragon" with "Wicked Rebirth". She then activates the effect of "Black Rose Dragon" to destroy all cards on the field, but Yusei Tributes this card to negate the effect of "Black Rose Dragon" and destroy it. On Akiza's End Phase, this card was revived due to its own effect while "Black Rose Dragon" was revived due to the effect of "Wicked Rebirth". Akiza then activates "Overdoom Line" to increase the ATK of "Black Rose Dragon" by 1000. Yusei then switches this card to Defense Position. He then equips this card with "Prevention Star" and targets "Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis" for the effect of "Prevention Star". This prevents "Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis" from attacking while "Prevention Star" is around. Akiza then activates "Synchro Back" to return "Black Rose Dragon" to her Extra Deck. On Akiza's Standby Phase, "Black Rose Dragon" is summoned to the field due to the second effect of "Synchro Back". Akiza then activates the effect of "Black Rose Dragon" to destroy all cards out on the field, but Yusei Tributes this card to negate the effect of "Black Rose Dragon" and destroy it. This caused "Prevention Star" to be destroyed, as Akiza had planned, so that means she is now free to attack Yusei directly with "Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis", but Yusei then activates "Cosmic Blast" to inflict damage to Akiza equal to this card's ATK, winning Yusei the Duel. Two copies of this card are also shown when "Card Defense" fully resolved.

• In episode 25, this card is shown in a flashback relating to the events where Jack took this card and Yusei's first Duel Runner, so he could finally be the King of New Domino City. When Yusei leaves to go rescue Rally out of a boat stranded in the middle of the water(which was done as part of Jack's plan), Jack takes Yusei's Deck out and takes this card out of Yusei's Deck. He then places this card into his pocket before taking the Duel Runner to escape from Satellite through the pipelines.

• In episode 26, Yusei used this card in his Turbo Duel against Jack Atlas. He Synchro Summons it by tuning "Junk Warrior"(who was affected by "Descending Lost Star") with "Hyper Synchron". Since the latter was sent to the Graveyard for this card's Synchro Summon, it gains 800 ATK and it also gains immunity to destruction by battle. Jack then activates "Tuner Capture" to take "Hyper Synchron" and summon it to his side of the field. This card then attacks "Red Dragon Archfiend", but Jack activates "Tuner's Mind" to return "Red Dragon Archfiend" to his Extra Deck and revive "Twin-Sword Marauder" and "Dark Tinker" in Defense Position. Yusei tries to have this card attack and destroy "Twin-Sword Marauder", but "Tuner's Mind" then redirects the attack to "Dark Tinker", destroying it instead. "Synchro Blast" then inflicts 500 damage to Jack after Damage Calculation. Jack then resummons his "Red Dragon Archfiend" by tuning "Twin-Sword Marauder" with "Hyper Synchron". Since the latter was used for the Synchro Summon of "Red Dragon Archfiend", it gains 800 ATK and it also gains immunity to destruction by battle. "Red Dragon Archfiend" then attacks this card, but the latter is not destroyed by the attack due to the ability it gained from "Hyper Synchron", however Yusei still takes Battle Damage. Jack then activates "Fiend Cannon" to inflict 500 damage to Yusei since "Red Dragon Archfiend" failed to destroy this card. Yusei then activated "Speed Spell - Silver Contrails" to increase "Stardust Dragon's" ATK by 1000 during the Battle Phase this turn. This card then attacks "Red Dragon Archfiend", who was not destroyed due to the effect it got from "Hyper Synchron". However Jack still takes Battle Damage from the attack. "Synchro Blast" then inflicts 500 damage to Jack after Damage Calculation. After the Battle Phase, the effect of "Silver Contrails" expires, decreasing this card's ATK back down to 3300. "Red Dragon Archfiend" then attacks this card, but this card wasn't destroyed due to the effect it got from "Hyper Synchron", however Yusei still takes Battle Damage. Yusei then activates "Cross Line Counter" to increase this card's ATK equal to twice the Battle Damage he took and force "Red Dragon Archfiend" to attack this card. "Red Dragon Archfiend" wasn't destroyed due to its gained effect from "Hyper Synchron", but Jack still takes Battle Damage. Jack then plays "Speed Spell - Overboost" to gain 4 more Speed Counters. He then plays "Speed Spell - The End of the Storm" to destroy all monsters out and inflict 300 damage to each player for each of their destroyed monsters, but Yusei Tributes this card to negate the effect and destroy "The End of the Storm". Jack then activates "Sneak Exploder" with the intention of sending it to the Graveyard on Yusei's Standby Phase to inflict 500 damage to Yusei for each monster he(Jack) controls. On Jack's End Phase, this card revives itself due to its effect. Yusei then plays "Meteor Stream" to inflict 1000 damage to Jack, but Jack activates "Crimson Fire" to prevent himself from taking any damage and inflict twice the amount of damage he would have received to Yusei, but Yusei activates "Shining Silver Force" to negate the activation of "Crimson Fire" and destroy it as well as destroy all of Jack's Spell and Trap cards. Yusei then activates "Speed Spell - Final Attack" to double this card's ATK. This card then attacks "Red Dragon Archfiend" and while the latter wasn't destroyed due to the effect it gained from "Hyper Synchron", Jack still takes Battle Damage from the attack. Jack's Life Points then dropped to 0, winning Yusei the Duel.

• In episode 27, this card is shown in a flashback that Luna has when she tells Yusei of the strange spider-like marking that was on Satellite. This card is also shown in a video clip that Carly watches in her car when she goes to find proof that Yusei had a mark on his arm.

• In episode 30, this card is seen in a flashback that Yusei has when he remembers seeing the Spider Mark over Satellite during his Turbo Duel with Jack at the Fortune Cup.

• In episode 31, this card is shown in a flashback that Jack has when he remembers losing to Yusei at the Fortune Cup.

• In episode 32, this card is seen in a flashback that Yusei has when he tells his friends about the vision he saw of the Satellite being destroyed. It is also shown in a flashback that Akiza has when she remembers the same exact vision of the Satellite being destroyed.

• In episode 35, Yusei Summoned this card in his Turbo Duel against Kalin Kessler. He Synchro Summons it by tuning "Level Warrior"(whose Level was 4 due to Yusei Special Summoning it through its own effect) with "Hyper Synchron". Since the latter was sent to the Graveyard for this card's Synchro Summon, it gains 800 ATK and it also gains immunity to destruction by battle. This card then attacks "Hundred Eyes Dragon", but because the latter has the effect of "Infernity Guardian", it is not destroyed, however Kalin still takes Battle Damage. Yusei then activates the effect of "Shard of Hope" to draw one card. The card is then revealed to be the Trap "Miracle Locus". Because the latter is a Trap, Yusei uses the effect of "Shard of Hope" to activate "Miracle Locus" by destroying "Shard of Hope" and targeting this card for the effect of "Miracle Locus". The latter card's effect allows Kalin to draw one card, but in exchange this card gains 1000 ATK until the End Phase and it can attack twice during this Battle Phase. This card then attacks and destroys "Hundred Eyes Dragon". Kalin then uses the latter's effect to add a card from his Deck to his hand(which one it was is revealed later in the Duel). Yusei then activates "Synchro Destructor" to inflict damage to Kalin equal to half the ATK of the monster that was just destroyed by battle and since "Hundred Eyes Dragon" was a Synchro Monster(Dark Synchro Monsters are a subcategory of Synchro Monsters hence why), "Synchro Destructor" will inflict the damage to Kalin twice. However, Kalin activates "Damage Translation" to cut all the effect damage he was about to take this turn in half, allowing him to survive the effect of "Synchro Destructor". Yusei plans to use "Speed Spell - Final Attack" on the next turn to double this card's ATK as part of his winning move. On the End Phase, the effect of "Miracle Locus" wears off, decreasing this card's ATK to 3300. The last effect of "Damage Translation" then activates on the same End Phase, summoning two Ghost Tokens to Kalin's side of the field as he took Effect Damage twice this turn. Kalin then Tributes both Tokens to summon "Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu". The latter then attacks Yusei directly via its own effect. Yusei tries to activate "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow" in response, but Kalin's "Earthbound Immortal" is unaffected by the effects of Spells and Traps, so the attack continues, but before the attack connects, Yusei loses control of his Duel Runner and crashes, ending the Duel with no result. Despite not winning, Kalin still succeeded in installing fear into Yusei.

• In episode 40, this card appeared in a flashback Jack has when he tells when he tells Akiza's father that Yusei is the only one who can open Akiza's heart.
  • This card also appears in a flashback Akiza has when she remembers Dueling Yusei at the Fortune Cup.

• In episode 41, Yusei uses this card in his Ground Duel against Akiza. He Synchro Summons it by tuning "Shield Warrior" and "Speed Warrior" with "Junk Synchron". Akiza then attacks this card with "Black Rose Dragon" equipped with "Thorn of Malice". This card is not destroyed due to "Thorn of Malice", but the latter decreases this card's ATK and DEF by 600 after Damage Calculation. Yusei then activates "Half Shut" to cut "Black Rose Dragon's" ATK in half until the End Phase and grant "Black Rose Dragon" immunity to destruction by battle this turn. This card then attacks "Black Rose Dragon". The latter is not destroyed due to "Half Shut", but Akiza still takes Damage. On the End Phase, the effect of "Half Shut" wears off, returning "Black Rose Dragon's" ATK back to 3000. "Black Rose Dragon" then attacks this card again. Due to "Thorn of Malice", this card is not destroyed, but it loses 600 ATK and DEF after Damage Calculation. On Akiza's next turn, she attacks this card with "Black Rose Dragon" again, but Yusei activates "Defense Draw" to reduce the Battle Damage he takes to 0 and draw one card. Due to "Thorn of Malice", this card is not destroyed, but it loses 600 ATK and DEF after Damage Calculation. Akiza then activates "Wonder Clover" to allow "Black Rose Dragon" to attack again. "Black Rose Dragon" attacks this card again, but Yusei activates "Iron Resolve" to reduce the Battle Damage from the attack to 0 by paying half his Life Points. Due to "Thorn of Malice", this card is not destroyed, but it loses 600 ATK and DEF after Damage Calculation. Yusei then equips this card with "Silver Wing". He then activates "Release Restraint Wave" to destroy "Silver Wing" and all of Akiza's Spell and Trap Cards. With "Thorn of Malice" no longer on the field, "Black Rose Dragon's" ATK goes back to 2400. At the same time, this card regains all the ATK and DEF it lost due to "Thorn of Malice". This card then attacks "Black Rose Dragon", but Akiza discards "Hedge Guard" after Damage Calculation to prevent her monster's destruction, however the ATK of "Black Rose Dragon is halved until the End Phase. Yusei then activates "Synchro Ring" to double this card's ATK and allow it to attack again. This card then attacks and destroys "Black Rose Dragon", winning Yusei the Duel.

• In episode 42, this card appears in a flashback Yusei has when he remembers his and Jack's first encounter with the Crimson Dragon. This card also appears in a flashback Goodwin shows when he explains to the Signers that they all share the same birthmark and that they are all the reincarnations of the Legendary Signers. This card also appeared in another flashback Yusei had when he and Jack describe the Turbo Duel between Yusei and Kalin, how the latter's true goal in the Duel was to summon his Earthbound Immortal, and the fact that Yusei would have lost the Duel had the Duel not been interrupted by Yusei's Duel Runner which broke down before the final blow could be dealt.

• In episode 45, this card appears in a flashback Yusei has when he recognizes Roman's Spider Mark as the Spider geoglyph that appeared in his vision at the Fortune Cup.

• In episode 46, Yusei used this card in his Ground Duel against Roman Goodwin. He Synchro Summons this card by tuning "Turret Warrior" with "Junk Synchron". Since "Earthbound Immortal Uru" was Roman's only monster and it could not be selected as an attack target, Yusei attacks Roman directly with this card, but Roman activates "Spider Egg" to negate the attack and Special Summon three "Spider Tokens". This card remained on the field until the Duel was over.

• In episode 47, this card appears in a flashback explained by Mina. In this flashback, Rex Goodwin explained to Mina that he released the three cards given to him by Dr. Fudo into the wild. He then explains that the Signers will eventually use those three cards and serve the Crimson Dragon. After the flashback ends, Yusei is shown looking at this card. Jack notes they have all been playing in Goodwin's palm as a result of following his orders.

• In episode 55, Yusei used this card in his Turbo Duel against Kalin. He Special Summons it with its effects negated via "Burst Synchro Summon", ignoring the Summoning Conditions. On Yusei's turn, Kalin activates "Brilliant Shrine Art" to make "Earthbound Immortal Ccapac Apu" the only target for Yusei's attacks. Yusei then activates "Speed Spell - Angel Baton" to draw two cards and send "Stardust Xiaolong" from his hand to the Graveyard. Since this card was on the field, Yusei was able to revive "Stadust Xiaolong" from his Graveyard via its own effect. On Kalin's turn, Yusei activates "Superior Protector" to equip it onto this card and prevent himself from taking Battle Damage from battles that don't involve this card. "Ccapac Apu" then attacks this card, but Yusei uses the effect of "Superior Protector" to destroy itself and prevent this card from being destroyed. Kalin then activates "Wicked Trample" to double all the Battle Damage Yusei takes from the attack. Due to Yusei's strong determination on saving Kalin from the Dark Signers, the full Mark of the Dragon appears on his back, allowing him to draw "Majestic Dragon" on his Draw Phase. Yusei then summons "Majestic Dragon" to the field. Yusei then tunes this card and "Stadust Xiaolong" with "Majestic Dragon" to Synchro Summon "Majestic Star Dragon".

• In episode 56, Yusei used this card to shut down the Giant control unit.

• In episode 57, Yusei used this card in his Ground Duel against Roman. He Synchro Summons it via the effect of "Starlight Road". Yusei then activates "Shooting Star" to destroy "Spider Web", but Roman activates "Anti-Emptyness" to negate "Shooting Star" and destroy it. Yusei then activates "Battle Waltz" to summon a Waltz Token with the same stats as this card. The token then attacks Roman directly since he only controls "Uru", but Roman activates the effect of "Roar of the Earthbound" to destroy the token and inflict half its ATK to Yusei as damage, but Yusei Tributes this card to activate its effect, negating the effect of "Roar of the Earthbound" and destroying it. Roman then activates "Brilliant Shrine Art" to redirect the attack to "Uru". The attack backfires, destroying the token, but due to the second to last effect of "Battle Waltz", Yusei takes no damage. The last effect of "Battle Waltz" then decreases the ATK of "Uru" by the ATK of the Waltz Token. Yusei then activates "Stardust Flash" to Special Summon this card from the Graveyard, ignoring the Summoning conditions. Yusei then attacks "Uru" with this card due to "Brilliant Shrine Art". This card then destroys "Uru", winning Yusei the Duel.
  • This card also appeared in Rex Goodwin's backstory flashback which involved how he, his brother and Dr. Fudo created the original Ener-D Reactor and all of the events that led to Zero Reverse. When Roman revealed Dr. Fudo he broke the seals to the Control units to the Ener-D Reactor, Yusei quickly grabs the four Signer Dragons in Roman's hand and runs off. Roman's men fire at Dr. Fudo to stop him. One of the blasts hit Dr. Fudo, causing him to drop "Ancient Fairy Dragon". A wounded Dr. Fudo gives Rex the three Signer Dragons he saved and tells him to shut down the Ener-D Reactor. Rex agrees and goes to try and shut down the reactor.

• In episode 58, this card was shown within the vision Carly shows to Jack when she claims this is what will happen when he loses and becomes one of the Dark Signers. Jack nearly got consumed by it until he notices Carly's broken glasses. This makes him realize that whatever he is seeing is not true and that the Duel has not ended yet.

• In episode 64, Yusei uses this card in his Turbo Duel with Jack Atlas and Crow Hogan against Rex Goodwin. Yusei Synchro Summons this card by tuning "Shield Warrior" and "Sonic Chick" with "Debris Dragon". This card then attacks "Sun Dragon Inti". Yusei then activates the effect of Crow's "Blackwing - Bombardment", sending it to the Graveyard to increase this card's ATK by the ATK of "Blackwing Armor Master". This card then destroys "Sun Dragon Inti". This activates the latter's effect, destroying this card and inflicting its ATK to Yusei as damage, but Yusei Tributes this card to negate that effect. Goodwin then activates the effect of "Moon Dragon Quilla" to revive it, but Yusei activates Jack's "Conquest of the Supreme Ruler". He then sends "Conquest of the Supreme Ruler" to the Graveyard to activate its effect, negating the summon of "Moon Dragon Quilla". On Yusei's End Phase, this card is Special Summoned back to the field. Yusei would later discard "Stardust Xiaolong" to activate "Joint Future" which he then used to negate the effect of "Meteor Flare" and return it to Goodwin's Deck. On the final turn, Yusei Special Summons "Stardust Xiaolong" from the Graveyard via its own effect. Yusei then Normal Summons "Majestic Dragon". Yusei then tunes this card and "Stardust Xiaolong" with "Majestic Dragon" to Synchro Summon "Majestic Star Dragon".

• In episode 66, Yusei used this card in his Turbo Duel against Ghost. He Synchro Summons this card by tuning "Turbo Booster" and "Gauntlet Warrior" with "Debris Dragon". Yusei then activates "Meteor Wave" to increase this card's ATK by 300 until the End Phase and grant it the ability to inflict piercing damage this turn. This card then attacks "Meklord Emperor Wisel", but Ghost uses the effect of "Wisel Guard" to redirect the attack to it instead, destroying it. Due to the effect of "Meteor Wave", "Stardust Dragon" inflicts piercing damage to Ghost. On Yusei's End Phase, the effect of "Meteor Wave" wears off, returning this card's ATK back to normal. Ghost then summons "Wisel Guard 3" to replace "Wisel Guard". Ghost then uses the effect of "Meklord Emperor Wisel" to equip itself with this card and increase the ATK of "Meklord Emperor Wisel" by this card's ATK. "Meklord Emperor Wisel" then attacks Yusei directly, but Yusei activates "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow" to negate the attack. "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow" then resets itself face-down. On the final turn, Yusei summons "Majestic Dragon". Yusei then activates "Synchro Material" to allow himself to use this card as a Synchro Material Monster for a Synchro Summon. Yusei then tunes this card and "Unicycular" with "Majestic Dragon to Synchro Summon "Majestic Star Dragon". Since this card has been removed from the field, "Meklord Emperor Wisel" loses the ATK boost this card gave to it.

• In episode 67, Sly, a classmate of Luna and Leo, found "Stardust Dragon" on the floor after it accidentally flew out of Yusei's Deck due to a malfunction in his Duel Runner. Sly attempted to steal it but Yusei showed up. Sly then gave it to Yusei, claiming he had found it. Later, Yusei used this card in his Ground Duel against Rudolph Heitmann. He Synchro Summons this card by tuning "Turret Warrior" with "Eccentric Boy" while using the effect of "Eccentric Boy" to tune "Turret Warrior" with "Eccentric Boy" while the former was in Yusei's hand. Yusei then activates "Variety Comes Out" to return this card to his Extra Deck and Special Summon "Debris Dragon", "Hanewata", and "Eccentric Boy" from the Graveyard(as their combined Levels equal this card's Level) which surprised Heitmann, however Yusei then activates "Tuner's Explosion" to Tribute "Flamvell Guard", "Hanewata", and "Eccentric Boy" and destroy all three "Ancient Gear Golems" as well as inflict 1000 damage to Heitmann for each monster destroyed. Since three were destroyed, Heitmann takes 3000 damage. "Debris Dragon" then attacks Heitmann directly, winning Yusei the Duel. After Yusei defeated Heitmann, Sly noted to himself in his mind that he wanted to get this card for himself with this card appearing within Sly's mind.

Right after Yusei summons this card, his opponent transforms into Ghost while "Tiger Dragon" is replaced with "Meklord Emperor Wisel" and its Wisel parts. This card's ATK then became equal to the combined ATK of the other Wisel parts due to its effect. Ghost then activates the effect of "Meklord Emperor Wisel" to equip itself with this card and increase the ATK of "Meklord Emperor Wisel" by this card's ATK. Yusei shouts in anguish as his monster is absorbed. He is however cut off by Sherry, who asks Yusei isn't dueling by the edge kind of dueling he enjoys. She then states he will find his goal if they battle together. Right after this card gets fully absorbed by "Meklord Emperor Wisel", Yusei wakes up from his nightmare.

Kalin's "Infernity Doom Dragon" then attacks this card, but Yusei activates "Power Frame" to negate the attack, equip "Power Frame" to this card, and increase this card's ATK by the difference in ATK between this card and "Infernity Doom Dragon". Yusei then summons "Second Booster". This card then attacks "Infernity Doom Dragon", but Kalin activates "Infernity Break" to banish "Infernity Dwarf" and destroy "Power Frame". This causes this card's ATK to go back to normal. Yusei then Tributes "Second Booster" to activate its effect, increasing this card's ATK by 1500.

"Black Rose Dragon" then attacks and destroys "Thunder Unicorn". This card then attacks Andre directly, but Andre activates "Dimension Equilibrium" to end the Battle Phase, banish "Black Rose Dragon" and Special Summon "Thunder Unicorn" from the Graveyard. Andre then activates "Speed Spell - Speed Energy" to increase the ATK of "Thunder Unicorn" by 200 for each Speed Counter he has until the End Phase. Since he has 12 Speed Counters, "Thunder Unicorn" gains 2400 ATK until the End Phase. "Thunder Unicorn" then attacks this card, but Akiza activates "Half Counter" to increase this card's ATK by half of the original ATK of "Thunder Unicorn". The attack continues, destroying this card, but thanks to Akiza's move, she takes less Battle Damage. Andre then activates the effect of "Speed World 2", removing 4 Speed Counters to inflict 800 damage to Akiza for each Speed Spell in his hand. Andre reveals "Speed Spell - The End of the Storm", so Akiza will take 800 damage, but Akiza activates "Wicked Rebirth" to pay 800 Life Points and Special Summon this card from the Graveyard. This makes Akiza lose, but thanks to her plan, she was not only able to keep this card on the field, but she was also able to make Andre waste four of his Speed Counters.

"Max Warrior" then attacks Andre directly, but Andre activates the effect of "Thunder Unicorn", Special Summoning it from the Graveyard. A replay occurs and Yusei uses "Max Warrior" to attack "Thunder Unicorn" instead. Due to the effect of "Max Warrior", it gains 400 ATK during the Damage Step only. Both battling monsters are then destroyed in a Double KO. This card remained on the field until Yusei defeated Andre. As per the rulings of the WRGP, it goes to Yusei's End Phase. Andre then passes the baton to Breo who proceeds in Dueling Yusei.

"Voltic Bicorn" then attacks this card, but Yusei activates "Synchro Striker Unit" to equip it to this card and increase its ATK by 1000. Breo then activates "Flattery" to increase the ATK of "Voltic Bicorn" by the difference between this card's original ATK and current ATK. Both battling monsters are then destroyed in a Double KO. The effect of "Voltic Bicorn" then activates, forcing both players to send the top 7 cards of their Deck to the Graveyard. Breo then activates "Tuning Collapse" to force Yusei to send cards from the top of his Deck to the Graveyard equal to this card's Level. Since this card was Level 8, Yusei was forced to send the top eight cards of his Deck to the Graveyard. Yusei would then overturn Breo's strategies by changing his playing style, which allowed Yusei to defeat Breo. Breo then passes the baton to Jean who proceeds in Dueling Yusei. In the next episode, Yusei Special Summons this card from the Graveyard via "Harmony Crystal". A replay occurs and Jean chooses not to attack with "Rhinotaurus". "Harmony Crystal" then inflicts damage to Jean equal to half of this card's ATK. This card then attacks and destroys "Rhinotaurus". Jean then activates "Thousand Crisscross" to make his Life Points 1000. Yusei then sets "Cosmic Blast" and intends to activate it when "Lightning Tricorn" attacks and destroys this card. Jean then activates "Superficial Peace" to prevent Spell and Trap Cards from being activated this turn as well as prevent monsters from being destroyed in battle this turn. "Lightning Tricorn" then attacks this card, but due to the effect of "Superficial Peace", this card is not destroyed, however Yusei still takes Battle Damage. The second effect of "Superficial Peace" then activates, allowing Jean to destroy "Cosmic Blast" and draw one card. On Yusei's turn, he Synchro Summons "Junk Warrior". Yusei then activates "Speed Spell - Speed Fusion" to fuse this card with "Junk Warrior" to Fusion Summon "Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste". Later Jean activates the effect of "Speed World 2" to remove 10 Speed Counters and destroy "Summon Tax", but Yusei activates the effect of "Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste" to banish this card and grant "Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste" all of this card's abilities. Yusei then activates the effect "Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste" gained from this card, Tributing "Dragon Knight Draco-Equiste" to negate the effect of "Speed World 2"("Speed World 2" is not destroyed as it can't be removed from the field).

On Yusei's Standby Phase, this card returns back to the field with 800 more ATK. Yusei then Synchro Summons "Formula Synchron".

Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D Bonds Beyond Time

• Yusei used this card in his Turbo Duel against Paradox. He Synchro Summons this card by tuning "Junk Warrior" with "Junk Synchron". Right after Yusei summons this card, Paradox uses a blank card to absorb this monster and transform the blank card into a blackened corrupt version of this card. Paradox then leaves at this point as his mission in Yusei's time was to take this card from him. Paradox's action left Yusei's copy of this card as a blank card. Yusei later finds out that Paradox was changing the past, so the Crimson Dragon takes him through time to stop Paradox. In the GX era, Paradox used "Cyber End Dragon" and "Rainbow Dragon" to attack Jaden, but Jaden summons "Elemental HERO Neos" and uses it to defend himself. Paradox summons this monster and uses it to attack. Jaden and "Neos" both barely survive the attack as they took an attack from a monster that didn't exist in their era. "Stardust Dragon" prepares to finish Jaden off, but the Crimson Dragon and Yusei save Jaden and block off the attack. Paradox leaves to Yugi's time. Paradox uses this monster, "Rainbow Dragon", and "Cyber End Dragon", to attack all the people in the tournament that was being hosted at the timing(including Maximillion Pegasus and Solomon Muto), leaving Yugi as the survivor, however the Crimson Dragon then whisks Yugi back to 30 minutes before the event occurred. Jaden and Yusei explain what's going on and why Paradox wants to destroy Duel Monsters. Yugi agrees to assist Yusei and Jaden as Paradox killed his grandfather in that incident and he wants to make sure that doesn't happen. Jaden then uses "Yubel" to scare off the people at the tournament which restores the cards in both Jaden and Yusei's Decks, but that doesn't stop Paradox from arriving at the scene. Paradox uses this card in his Duel against Yugi Muto, Jaden Yuki, and Yusei Fudo. He sends this card from his Extra Deck to the Graveyard to summon "Malefic Stardust Dragon". He then tunes "Malefic Stardust Dragon" with "Malefic Parallel Gear" to Synchro Summon "Malefic Paradox Dragon". Paradox then uses the effect of "Malefic Paradox Dragon" to Special Summon this card from the Graveyard, ignoring the Summoning conditions. Due to the effect of "Malefic Paradox Dragon", all face-up monsters controlled by Paradox's opponents lose ATK equal to the ATK of this card. This decreases the ATK of "Elemental Hero Neos Knight" to 700. Later Yugi summons forth "Dark Magician" and "Dark Magician Girl". Due to the effect of "Malefic Paradox Dragon", the ATK of both of Yugi's monsters lose ATK equal to this card's ATK. Yugi then activates "Magic Gate of Miracles" to take control of a monster controlled by Paradox. Paradox activates "Malefic Force", equipping it onto "Malefic Paradox Dragon" and granting it immunity to Spell Cards controlled by Paradox's opponents, however Yugi then uses "Magic Gate of Miracles" to take control of this card, purifying it. Since this card is no longer controlled by Paradox, the ATK of "Neos Knight", "Dark Magician", and "Dark Magician Girl" revert to normal. After "Malefic Blue-Eyes White Dragon" attacks and destroys "Dark Magician", the effect of "Malefic Truth Dragon" activates, destroying all monsters controlled by Paradox's opponents and inflicting 800 damage to Yugi, Jaden, and Yusei for each monster destroyed, but Yusei activates this card's effect, Tributing it to negate the effect of "Malefic Truth Dragon" and destroy it. However Paradox activates the effect of "Malefic Truth Dragon", banishing "Malefic Rainbow Dragon" to prevent "Malefic Truth Dragon" from being destroyed. On Paradox's End Phase, this card revives itself via its own effect, ignoring the summoning conditions. Jaden then activates "Neos Spiral Force" to double this card's ATK. Yugi then activates "Dark Spiral Force" to double this card's ATK once more. This card then attacks and destroys "Malefic Truth Dragon", winning Yugi, Jaden, and Yusei the Duel. With Paradox's defeat, he is destroyed and all cards he had stolen were returned to their proper time eras.
  • When this card is taken by Paradox, it turned black and the picture of "Stardust Dragon" became inverted. No other card Paradox stole had this alteration.
  • This monster was also the only trump card Paradox stole from the 5D's era. The other trump cards he stole were from the GX era and the DM era.
