Card Trivia:Destiny End Dragoon

From Yugipedia
Jump to: navigation, search
  • A "dragoon" was a class of mounted infantry that was trained in the use of firearms, specifically a one-handed type of blunderbuss reputedly called a "dragon"; this firearm may be the basis for the design of the dragon-headed weapon on this monster's left arm.
  • This card's Japanese name, "Dragoon D-END", and its English name, "Destiny End Dragoon", are a pun on "The End": it was known as the "Final D Card" and was the last "Destiny HERO"-related card to appear in the Yu-Gi-Oh GX anime, additionally marking the end of the "Destiny HERO" archetype in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GX era.
  • This card is the "Destiny HERO" counterpart of "Elemental HERO Flame Wingman".
    • Both are Fusion Monsters that served as the ace monsters of Aster Phoenix and Jaden Yuki respectively in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX.
    • Both monsters have an arm cannon shaped like the head of a dragon, with the cannon of "Flame Wingman" being on its right arm and the cannon of "Destiny End Dragoon" being on its left arm.
    • Both cards have an effect that inflicts damage to the opponent equal to the destroyed monster's ATK; however, "Destiny End Dragoon" prevents the player from conducting their Battle Phase when it destroys a monster this way, while the effect of "Flame Wingman" only activates when it destroys a monster in battle.
