Card Appearances:Burning Skull Head

"Burning Skull Head":

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's

In episode 1 a profile on Hunter Pace's Deck said his "Burning Skull Head" and "Skull Flames" combo is very strong. This is removed from the dub because of the text.

In episode 8, Hunter uses this card during his Turbo Duel against Jack Atlas. He Special Summons two copies from his hand via the effect of "Skull Conductor". This activates both copies' effects, inflicting 2000 damage to Jack (1000 damage per copy). Hunter then Tributes both copies in order to Tribute Summon "Skull Flame". He then activates the latter's first effect in order to Special Summon a third copy from his hand. This activates this card's effect, inflicting 1000 damage to Jack. On the last turn of the Duel, "Red Dragon Archfiend" attacks and destroys this card. Jack then activates the first effect of "Red Dragon Archfiend" to destroy Hunter's two Gift Fiend Tokens (who Jack Special Summoned to Hunter's side of the field via "Revival Gift"). Jack then activates "Lineage of Destruction" in order to grant "Red Dragon Archfiend" three more attacks as three Defense Position monsters were destroyed this turn.

In episode 17, Hunter uses this card during his Turbo Duel against Yusei Fudo. He Normal Summons this card on the first turn of the Duel. Later "Speed Warrior" (whose ATK was 1800 due to it being powered up by its own effect) attacks this card, but Hunter activates "Zero Guard" to reduce this card's ATK to 0 until the End Phase and prevent it from being destroyed by battle. The attack fails, however Hunter still takes Battle Damage. Normally Hunter would lose Speed Counters when he takes 1000 or more damage, but Hunter activates "Doom Accelerator" to prevent himself from losing any Speed Counters from the damage he took and increase his Speed Counters by three (as he took about 1500 damage). On Yusei's End Phase, the effect of "Zero Guard" expires. On Hunter's next turn, he Tributes this card and "Skull Base" in order to Tribute Summon "Skull Flame". Later Hunter activates the effect of "Speed King Skull Flame" to inflict 400 damage to Yusei (as this card was present in Hunter's Graveyard).

In episode 58, Hunter Pace plays this card in his Turbo Duel against Shay Obsidian. This card is attacked and destroyed along with "Skull Flame" by "Raidraptor - Rise Falcon" due to its effect allowing it to attack all Special Summoned monsters, and it had 3700 ATK due to its own effect, winning Shay the duel.
