"Red Dragon Archfiend":

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's[edit]

Details[edit]

  • When Jack Atlas summons this card, he chants "The ruler's heartbeats will now file through here! Take witness to its creation-shaking power! Synchro Summon! My very soul, Red Demons Dragon!".
  • Its attack names in the Japanese version are Blazing Crimson Hell Flare and Absolute Power Force and its effect is Demon Meteor. In the dub, its first attack was renamed Scorching Crimson Flare, while its second attack name remained Absolute Power Force.
    • Unlike most Dragon-Type monsters, who release their attacks from their mouths, "Red Dragon Archfiend's" attack summons a ball of fire above its fist before delivering a powerful punch/claw strike to its target.
  • In the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime, there is only one copy of this card in existence. The three "Red Dragon Archfiends" used by Jack's robotic doppelganger are artificial copies created by Lester, indicated by their different colors.
  • This card appears to reflect Jack's personality.
    • Its second effect involves destroying other monsters that this card's controller has on their field if they don't attack, which is similar to how Jack turned his back on his friends when he wished to be King and felt that his friends would not help with that goal due to them being Satellite residents.
    • With its high ATK and ability to punish defensive play for both players, this card reflects Jack's philosophy on Dueling; he always wants to be on the offensive with the most powerful monster on the field, dislikes defensive play, and goes all-out on his opponent at all times.

Dragan was about to activate "Nordic Relic Brisingamen" which would allow him to win the Duel, but he remembered Lazar told him he will only get the money for his father's operation if he lost the Duel and thus chose not to activate his Trap Card.
