Dragon is a very prominent Type in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' anime and manga series. Typically, with a few exceptions, the main protagonists character's rivals would use Dragon (or Dragon-like) monsters to varying degrees in their Decks, usually as signature or boss monsters:* In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' manga and [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|anime]], [[Seto Kaiba]] employs his signature "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" and his "[[Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]" in his Deck. In the later portion of the anime, Kaiba incorporates a variety of Dragons such as "[[Spear Dragon]]", "[[Luster Dragon 2|Luster Dragon #2]]", "[[Different Dimension Dragon]]", "[[Paladin of White Dragon]]", "[[Chaos Emperor Dragon]]", and the Dragon Fusion Monsters Summoned with "[[The Fang of Critias]]". In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions]]'', Kaiba uses a variety of powerful Dragons, including retrained versions of his "Blue-Eyes" monsters such as "[[Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon]]" and "[[Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon]]".* In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime, [[Chazz Princeton]] uses the "[[Armed Dragon]]" monsters as a core part of his Deck and other Dragon monsters, including "[[Masked Dragon]]" and "[[Pitch-Dark Dragon]]". In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (manga)|manga]], Chazz's [[Chazz Princeton (manga)|manga counterpart]] uses a Dragon Deck, spearheaded by his signature card, "[[Light and Darkness Dragon]]".* In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime, [[Jack Atlas]] uses his signature "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]" and its upgraded counterparts, "[[Majestic Red Dragon]]", "[[Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode]]", and "[[Red Nova Dragon]]", while also using other Dragons including "[[Vice Dragon]]", "[[Strong Wind Dragon]]", "[[Dread Dragon]]", "[[Influence Dragon]]", and "[[Exploder Dragonwing]]". In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (manga)|manga]], Jack's [[Jack Atlas (manga)|manga counterpart]] uses "[[Hot Red Dragon Archfiend]]" and its upgraded counterparts, "[[Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss|Abyss]]", "[[Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Bane|Bane]]", and "[[Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity|King Calamity]]".* In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'' anime and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL (manga)|manga]], [[Kite Tenjo]] and his [[Kaito Tenjo (manga)|manga counterpart]] employs his signature "[[Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]]". In the anime, Kite uses its upgraded counterparts, "[[Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]]" and "[[Number 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon]]" and other Dragon monsters, including "[[Photon Lizard]]", "[[Twin Photon Lizard]]" and "[[Number 46: Dragluon]]". In the manga, Kaito uses other Dragon monsters, including "[[Galaxy Dragon]]", "[[Photon Wyvern]]", "[[Galaxy-Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon]]", "[[Number 95: Galaxy-Eyes Dark Matter Dragon]]", and "[[Number 38: Hope Harbinger Dragon Titanic Galaxy]]".* In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'' anime and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V (manga)|manga]], this tradition was inverted. [[Yuya Sakaki]] uses Dragon monsters, including the Dragon members of the "[[Odd-Eyes]]" archetype and the members of the [[Four Dimensional Dragons]]. His main rival, [[Declan Akaba]], does not use Dragon monsters, and instead uses [[Fiend]] monsters.* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'', [[Roken Kogami]]/Varis primarily uses a Dragon Deck spearheaded by the "[[rokket]]" and the "[[Borrel]]" archetypes. He also uses other Dragons to facilitate the Summoning of his [[Extra Deck]] Dragon monsters, including "[[Gateway Dragon]]", "[[Sniffer Dragon]]", and "[[Background Dragon]]", as well as other monsters with a draconic appearance, including "[[Cracking Dragon]]" and the "[[Topologic]]" monsters.* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]'', [[Roa Kassidy]] shakes up the tradition again, as he primarily uses a Fiend Deck.* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'', [[Zuwijo zir Velgear]] uses mainly [[Galaxy (Type)|Galaxy]] monsters, but his Deck is spearheaded by "[[Voidvelgr Requiem]]", which features a draconic appearance.
