Revision as of 19:52, 13 November 2014
- This card is the first Level 12 Synchro Monster to have appeared in the OCG, TCG and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's series, so far. It is also the first Synchro Monster that requires 2 Tuner Monsters.
- However, it's not the first Synchro Monster able to be Synchro Summoned by the use of 2 (or more) Tuners. "XX-Saber Gottoms" can use multiple Tuner monsters to be summoned.
- The later released "Vylon Omega" also requires 2 Tuners.
- This card is the second Synchro Monster that requires "Red Dragon Archfiend" as a Synchro Material, the first one was "Majestic Red Dragon".
- This card and "Majestic Red Dragon" both have effects that prevent them from being destroyed by card effects, although this card only protects it from the opponent's card effects while "Majestic Red Dragon" protects from all.
- This card is an avatar form of the final and strongest Earthbound Immortal, Red Nova, after Jack managed to subjugate its power and seal it inside a card via the state of Blazing Soul.
- This makes it the first and only card related to both the Signer Dragons and the Earthbound Immortals. It is, after all, an advanced form of "Red Dragon Archfiend", the strongest Signer Dragon (ATK-wise) after absorbing Red Nova, the strongest Earthbound Immortal, as stated above.
- This card's first effect mirrors "Shooting Star Dragon", as it involves more ATK points based on Tuners in the Graveyard (the past) while "Shooting Star Dragon"'s effect involves multiple attacks based on Tuners in the Deck (the future).
- Interestingly, "Shooting Star Dragon" was given to Yusei Fudo by a futuristic god, "Red Nova Dragon" is claimed by Jack Atlas after sealing an ancient devil.
- Both Jack and Yusei make reference to the states of Clear Mind and Blazing Soul as opposite concepts, and weapons to defeat Yliaster (episode 113).
- "Shooting Star" was made out of the evolution of Synchro Summons (Accel Synchro) while "Red Nova" is another Synchro Summon with more power (2 Tuners instead of one). This also represents Yusei and Jack's idea of becoming better duelists and gaining more power respectively.
- The way this card is released in the same pack as "Shooting Star Dragon" and not being a cover card mimics the way "Stardust Dragon" and "Red Dragon Archfiend" were released in The Duelist Genesis.
- Also, "Red Nova Dragon" and "Shooting Star Dragon" are facing opposite directions in the same way "Stardust Dragon" and "Red Dragon Archfiend" are looking in opposite directions., although their poses mirror one another.
- Along with "Shooting Star Dragon", the TCG version of this card was released before the pack it comes from as a tin promo; the tin featuring "Red Nova Dragon" was released four days before the TCG preview of Starstrike Blast.
- This card shares ATK with another one of "Red Dragon Archfiend's" advanced forms: "Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode".
- Also, this card shares DEF with "Majestic Red Dragon".
- This card's ATK and DEF are those of "Red Dragon Archfiend" divided by 2 then added to 2000:
- 3000 / 2 = 1500 ; 1500 + 2000 = 3500
- 2000 / 2 = 1000 ; 1000 + 2000 = 3000
- This card is similar to Seto Kaiba's "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" as they are both Level 12 Extra Deck Monsters and their owners are both rivals to the protagonists; their Fusion Material Monsters are also commonly used by the owner.
- Also, they both require 3 Material Monsters to be Special Summoned.
- Also, when only the required Tuner Monsters to summon Red Nova Dragon are in the Graveyard, its attack power is 4500, the same as "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon".
- This card is also similar to Kite's "Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon":
- Both cards require 3 Material monsters.
- Both of the monsters have effects to gain ATK in intervals of 500.
- Unlike "Red Dragon Archfiend", "Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode" and "Majestic Red Dragon"; "Red Nova Dragon" doesn't have the effect that involves destroying monsters. Instead, it has an effect that doesn't get itself destroyed by effects, and does share a similar effect to "Majestic Red Dragon" when gaining ATK.
- Also, this is the only upgraded version that doesn't revive "Red Dragon Archfiend" from the Graveyard.
- However, this card does have an anime exclusive support card with the effect to revive "Red Dragon Archfiend" from the Graveyard, "Scar-Red Cocoon"
- This card appears in the artwork for "Red Carpet".
- In the way that this card was claimed, across episodes 112-113, shares a similarity with the song "The Devil went Down to Georgia" wherein a boy named Johnny has a showdown with the devil playing violins. After besting the Devil, Johnny gets a fiddle made of gold. Similarly, Jack plays against the Devil and wins, thus getting his ultimate card.
- When this monster attacks, it will fold its wings, do a spin, then shoot at the opponent while encased in fire.
