Card Trivia:Black Rose Dragon
Revision as of 19:50, 21 November 2013 by Philiosophical-Psychological Informist Togekiss (talk | contribs)
- This is the Cover Card of Crossroads of Chaos.
- This card is the only card that was reprinted two times with "DUEL TERMINAL" written on it without actually being in one of the Duel Terminal sets.
- This is the first of the Signer Dragons to be Limited in 1st March 2010 Banlist, then back to Unlimited in the next Banlist.
- This card's name appears to contradict its artwork, given that the roses which adorn this dragon's body are red rather than black. However, when one examines the name more closely, one notices that this monster's skin is actually black in color, and the name can be taken as a more literal description of this monster's nature.
- To elaborate: Because the name says that this is a "Black Rose Dragon", it is assumed that it is a "dragon of black roses" and thus the name does not adequately describe the art. However, it actually means that this is a "Black ROSE DRAGON" – a black-colored variety of a species of dragon that adorns its body with roses – which is an accurate description of the monster.
- This is the first of the Signer Dragons whose effect relates to a specific Type and the first to have a specific support card, "Thorn of Malice".
- This is the first of the Signer Dragons to be Level 7 instead of 8, as opposed to "Stardust Dragon", "Life Stream Dragon", "Red Dragon Archfiend" and "Black-Winged Dragon". "Ancient Fairy Dragon" would later follow.
- All male Signers have Level 8 Signer Dragons. Both female Signers' Dragons are Level 7.
- Just like "Stardust Dragon" has a younger counterpart in "Debris Dragon", this card also has a younger counterpart, "Blue Rose Dragon". "Blue Rose Dragon", though, directly supports this card.
- This card has the lowest combined ATK and DEF out of all Signer Dragon. Ironically, its effect is one of the most powerful, effective and easy-to-use (along with "Stardust Dragon").
- In the anime, this card, "Red Dragon Archfiend", and "Life Stream Dragon" are the only Signer Dragons that have not been absorbed by one of the Meklords.
- This card is notably the only Signer Dragon to never be used against any of the Meklords at least once. This is because Akiza never battled any of Aporia's embodiments or Aporia himself.
- This card has been the featured card of an anime episode 4 times, more than any others.
