The '''Signer Dragons''' are a series of [[Dragon]]-[[Type]] [[Synchro Monster]]s, introduced in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]''. These legendary dragons play a part in the legend of the [[Crimson Dragon]], as well as being connected to the [[Signer]]s themselves. That connection being that these legendary beasts, who actually joined forces with the Crimson Dragon, were the ones who sealed an evil within the [[Nazca Lines]].

Reflecting the rivalry between the two main characters [[Yusei Fudo]] and [[Jack Atlas]], "[[Stardust Dragon]]" and "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]" are the only "Signer Dragons" to have different upgraded versions. It is worth noting, however, that "[[Life Stream Dragon]]" has its downgraded, armored version, "[[Power Tool Dragon]]", which is a required [[Synchro Material Monster]] for its Summon.

Reflecting the rivalry between the two main characters [[Yusei Fudo]] and [[Jack Atlas]], "[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]" and "[[Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Red Dragon Archfiend]]" were the only Signer Dragons to have different upgraded versions during the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime. Despite this, "[[Life Stream Dragon (anime)|Life Stream Dragon]]" has a downgraded, armored version, "[[Power Tool Dragon (anime)|Power Tool Dragon]]", which is a required [[Synchro Material]] for its [[Synchro Summon]]. Eventually, ''[[OCG]]''-original upgrades of the other Signer Dragons were released.

===/Assault Mode===
+
===Cosmic Synchro Monsters===
−
"[[Stardust Dragon]]" and "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]" have their own [[:/Assault Mode]]s: "[[Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode]]" and "[[Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode]]" having 500 more ATK and DEF, 2 more levels and an "upgraded" effect of the original monsters. Both of these monsters were Summoned by [[Yusei Fudo|Yusei]] and [[Jack Atlas|Jack]] in a [[Evolving Duel! Stardust VS Red Demons|special episode]].
+
{{main|Cosmic Synchro Monster}}
 +
These are upgraded forms of "[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]" and "[[Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Red Dragon Archfiend]]", characterised by a name centered around a space phenomena. They are not [[Synchro Summon]]ed in the usual method. "[[Shooting Star Dragon (anime)|Shooting Star Dragon]]", for example, is the [[Accel Synchro]] evolution of "Stardust Dragon", requiring 1 [[Tuner Synchro Monster]] and its base form. Although [[Jack Atlas|Jack]]'s new [[ace monster]] "[[Red Nova Dragon (anime)|Red Nova Dragon]]" ("Red Dragon Archfiend"'s evolution) is not an [[Accel Synchro Monster]], it uses a method called "[[Double Tuning]]" to achieve its evolution and is in the same power range as "Shooting Star". In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime, to Summon these [[Synchro Monster]]s, the user has to perform a specific ability: examples are [[Clear Mind]] for "Shooting Star" and "[[Blazing Soul]]" for "Red Nova". The [[ATK]] of "Shooting Star Dragon" and "Red Nova Dragon" are 500 points less than their base forms' "[[Majestic]]" versions, while their [[DEF]] is equivalent to their original form's ATK. "[[Shooting Quasar Dragon]]" is considered the ultimate peak of the Signer Dragons and all [[Synchro Monster]]s.

The "[[Majestic]]" Dragons are upgraded forms of "[[Stardust Dragon]]" and "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]", Summoned by [[Synchro Summon|Tuning]] "[[Majestic Dragon]]" with one of the Dragons and 1 Level 1 non-[[Tuner monster]]. They have powerful effects, but return themselves to the [[Extra Deck]] during the [[End Phase]] while reviving their previous form from the [[Graveyard]].
+
These are the upgraded form of the other Signer Dragons.
  
−
There are 2 "Majestic" forms; "[[Majestic Star Dragon]]" and "[[Majestic Red Dragon]]", which were used in the anime by [[Yusei Fudo]] and [[Jack Atlas]], respectively.

===Malefic===
+
===/Assault Mode===
−
"[[Stardust Dragon]]" is the only Signer Dragon with a "[[Malefic]]" form; "[[Malefic Stardust Dragon]]". This card was used in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D Bonds Beyond Time|The Tenth Anniversary Movie]] by [[Paradox]]. It has released in both the [[TCG]] and the [[OCG]]. It is highly unlikely that "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]" will receive a "[[Malefic]]" form due to Stardust being the only monster card stolen from the 5D's timeframe.
+
{{Main|/Assault Mode}}
 +
"[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]" and "[[Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Red Dragon Archfiend]]" have their own "/Assault Mode" [[Card evolutions|evolutions]]: "[[Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode (anime)|Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode]]" and "[[Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode (anime)|Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode]]". These monsters have 500 more [[ATK]] and [[DEF]], two more [[Level]]s and an upgraded effect of the original monsters. Both of these monsters were [[Special Summon]]ed with the effect of "[[Assault Mode Activate (anime)|Assault Mode Activate]]", and were used [[Yusei Fudo]] and [[Jack Atlas]] in a [[Evolving Duel! Stardust VS Red Demons|special episode]].

===Cosmic Synchro Monsters===
+
===Majestic===
−
The [[Cosmic Synchro Monster]]s are upgraded forms of "[[Stardust Dragon]]" and "[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]". They are not [[Synchro Summon]]ed in the usual method. The Opening [[BELIEVE IN NEXUS]] originally confirmed the existence what was later revealed to be the [[Accel Synchro Monster|Accel Synchro]] counterpart/evolution of "[[Stardust Dragon]]." Thus far, Stardust's counterpart ("[[Shooting Star Dragon]]") is the only confirmed Accel Synchro evolution of a Signer Dragon. However, Jack's new ace monster "[[Red Nova Dragon]]" ("[[Red Dragon Archfiend]]'s" counterpart/evolution), is not an Accel Synchro, but uses a method called "[[Double Tuning]]" to achieve evolution and is in the same power range as Shooting Star. Both monsters were released in [[Starstrike Blast]]. Their [[ATK]] seems to be their original counterparts' [[Majestics]] forms' ATK - 500 (Majestic Star Dragon's ATK: 3800 - 500 = 3300 (Shooting Star Dragon's ATK)) (Majestic Red Dragon's ATK: 4000 - 500 = 3500 (Red Nova Dragon's ATK)). Also their [[DEF]] is equal to the ATK of their original forms.  
+
{{Main|Majestic}}
 +
"Majestic" monsters are upgraded forms of the Signer Dragons, temporarily granted to their users by the [[Crimson Dragon]]. "[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]" and "[[Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Red Dragon Archfiend]]" are the only Signer Dragons to have been given this power. "Majestic" monster are Summoned by [[Synchro Summon|Tuning]] "[[Majestic Dragon (anime)|Majestic Dragon]]" with one of the Dragons and one [[Level]] 1 non-[[Tuner]] monster. They have powerful effects, but, as they are temporary upgrades, they return to the [[Extra Deck]] during the [[End Phase]] while [[Special Summon]]ing their base form from the [[Graveyard]].

===Limit Over Accel Synchro Monsters===
+
===Malefic===
−
The [[Limit Over Accel Synchro monster]] is considered to be the ultimate type of Synchro Monster. In the anime, summoning a Limit Over Accel Synchro requires the duelist to achieve [[Over Top Clear Mind]]. Reaching this state will cause the duelist, and their Duel Runner to become a shining gold color, implicating the god-like power involved with performing this type of Synchro Summon.
+
{{Main|Malefic}}
 +
"[[Stardust Dragon]]" is the only Signer Dragon with a "Malefic" [[counterpart]]: "[[Malefic Stardust Dragon]]". This card was used in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D Bonds Beyond Time]]'' movie by [[Paradox]], who stole the original "[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]" from [[Yusei Fudo]] and transformed it into "[[Malefic Stardust Dragon (anime)|Malefic Stardust Dragon]]".
  
−
Limit Over Accel Synchros are Synchro Summoned in a similar way to Cosmic Synchro Monsters. However, they do not require their corresponding Signer counterpart in their summoning requirements. They use 2 normal Synchro Monsters, plus 1 Tuner Synchro Monster, which is the same to how [[Delta Accel Synchro Monster]]s are Synchro Summoned.
+
===Synchro Dimension counterparts===
 +
In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'' anime, [[Jack Atlas]]' [[Synchro Dimension]] [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|counterpart]] used a new version of "[[Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Red Dragon Archfiend]]": "[[Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend (anime)|Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend]]". This monster appears to be "Red Dragon Archfiend" after it was 'scarred' by "[[Junk Warrior (anime)|Junk Warrior]]", thus paying homage to the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 154|last episode]] of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime. "Scarlight" also possesses an [[Card evolutions|upgraded]] form: "[[Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend]]".
  
−
There was only 1 Limit Over Accel Synchro Monster, "[[Shooting Quasar Dragon]]", before the release of its Duel Dragon counterpart, "[[Stardust Sifr Divine Dragon]]", in [[Shining Victories]]. It must be Synchro Summoned, and it cannot be Special Summoned any other ways. However, despite this downfall, it is able to attack once for every [[Synchro Material Monster]] used to Synchro Summon it, and it can negate 1 card or effect per turn. It can also call for backup, Special Summoning a "[[Shooting Star Dragon]]" from the [[Extra Deck]] if it ever gets removed from the field. In the anime, it was Synchro Summoned using all of the other Signer Dragons (the exception being, of course, "[[Stardust Dragon]]") as [[Synchro Material Monster]]s, utilizing the effect of "[[Life Stream Dragon]]" to reduce their levels' to 1.

===Downgraded versions===
−
"[[Life Stream Dragon]]" is the only Signer Dragon to have a downgraded form, "[[Power Tool Dragon]]", which is a mechanized/shell form of itself. "Power Tool Dragon" searches for [[Equip Spell Card]]s and cannot be destroyed when it is equipped with one. This sets up for "Life Stream Dragon" who uses Equip Spells in the [[Graveyard]] for protection.
+
These are downgraded forms of the original Signer Dragons.

In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's'' manga]], the Signer Dragons do not appear. Instead, a similar series known as the [[Duel Dragon]]s is featured. Many of them are slightly redesigned Signer Dragons, named "[[Ancient Pixie Dragon]]", "[[Blackfeather Darkrage Dragon]]", "[[Black Rose Moonlight Dragon]]", "[[Hot Red Dragon Archfiend]]" and "[[Stardust Spark Dragon]]". (Only the [[Duel Dragon]] counterpart of "[[Life Stream Dragon]]" remains unknown, although as "[[Power Tool Mecha Dragon]]" is stated to be a Duel Dragon in its own right, there may not be one.) 5 of these Signer Dragons' counterparts and 1 downgraded Signer Dragon's counterpart are currently released in the ''TCG/OCG''.

In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]] manga, the Signer Dragons do not appear. Instead, a similar series known as the Duel Dragons is featured, and it is used by the modern [[Duel Priest]]s. Many of them are slightly redesigned Signer Dragons: "[[Ancient Pixie Dragon (manga)|Ancient Pixie Dragon]]", "[[Moonlight Dragon Black Rose (manga)|Black Rose Moonlight Dragon]]", "[[Blackwing Dragon Black Feather (manga)|Blackfeather Darkrage Dragon]]", "[[Jeweled Red Dragon Archfiend (manga)|Hot Red Dragon Archfiend]]" and "[[Stardust Spark Dragon (manga)|Stardust Spark Dragon]]". There is no [[Duel Dragon]] counterpart of "[[Life Stream Dragon (anime)|Life Stream Dragon]]"; "[[Power Tool Mecha Dragon (manga)|Power Tool Mecha Dragon]]" appears instead. All the Duel Dragons and their variations have been released in the ''[[TCG]]''/''[[OCG]]''.

The Signer Dragons (シグナーの竜（りゅう） Shigunā no Ryū) are a series of Level 7 and 8 Dragon Synchro Monsters introduced in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's. These legendary dragons play a part in the legend of the Crimson Dragon, as well as being connected to the Signers themselves. That connection being that these legendary beasts, who actually joined forces with the Crimson Dragon, were the ones who sealed an evil within the Nazca Lines.

That very same evil, now known as the "Earthbound Immortals", reappeared once again in the world as Duel Monsters cards used by the Dark Signers.

Every Signer Dragon has been featured in the anime and has been released in the OCG/TCG. They are: "Stardust Dragon", "Red Dragon Archfiend", "Black Rose Dragon", "Ancient Fairy Dragon", "Black-Winged Dragon" and "Life Stream Dragon".

In the anime, Professor Fudo gave the "Stardust Dragon", "Red Dragon Archfiend" and "Black Rose Dragon" cards to Rex Goodwin. These cards were originally designed so that their corresponding Signer could activate the safety switches for the Ener-D system.

Members[edit]

There are six original Signer Dragons.

Monster Signer Light color
Stardust Dragon Yusei Fudo Blue
Red Dragon Archfiend Jack Atlas Red
Black-Winged Dragon Crow Hogan Orange
Black Rose Dragon Akiza Izinski Violet
Life Stream Dragon Leo Yellow
Ancient Fairy Dragon Luna Green

Variations[edit]

Reflecting the rivalry between the two main characters Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlas, "Stardust Dragon" and "Red Dragon Archfiend" were the only Signer Dragons to have different upgraded versions during the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime. Despite this, "Life Stream Dragon" has a downgraded, armored version, "Power Tool Dragon", which is a required Synchro Material for its Synchro Summon. Eventually, OCG-original upgrades of the other Signer Dragons were released.

Cosmic Synchro Monsters[edit]

Main article: Cosmic Synchro Monster

These are upgraded forms of "Stardust Dragon" and "Red Dragon Archfiend", characterised by a name centered around a space phenomena. They are not Synchro Summoned in the usual method. "Shooting Star Dragon", for example, is the Accel Synchro evolution of "Stardust Dragon", requiring 1 Tuner Synchro Monster and its base form. Although Jack's new ace monster "Red Nova Dragon" ("Red Dragon Archfiend"'s evolution) is not an Accel Synchro Monster, it uses a method called "Double Tuning" to achieve its evolution and is in the same power range as "Shooting Star". In the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime, to Summon these Synchro Monsters, the user has to perform a specific ability: examples are Clear Mind for "Shooting Star" and "Blazing Soul" for "Red Nova". The ATK of "Shooting Star Dragon" and "Red Nova Dragon" are 500 points less than their base forms' "Majestic" versions, while their DEF is equivalent to their original form's ATK. "Shooting Quasar Dragon" is considered the ultimate peak of the Signer Dragons and all Synchro Monsters.

Monster Base form Summoning method Ability Origin
Shooting Star Dragon

Cosmic Blazar Dragon Delta Accel Synchro Top Clear Mind Blazar
Cosmic Quasar Dragon Limit Over Accel Synchro Over Top Clear Mind Quasar

Red Nova Dragon Red Dragon Archfiend Double Tuning Blazing Soul Nova
Red Supernova Dragon Triple Tuning Supernova

Other Signer Dragons' upgrades[edit]

These are the upgraded form of the other Signer Dragons.

Black-Winged Assault Dragon Black-Winged Dragon

/Assault Mode[edit]

Main article: /Assault Mode

"Stardust Dragon" and "Red Dragon Archfiend" have their own "/Assault Mode" evolutions: "Stardust Dragon/Assault Mode" and "Red Dragon Archfiend/Assault Mode". These monsters have 500 more ATK and DEF, two more Levels and an upgraded effect of the original monsters. Both of these monsters were Special Summoned with the effect of "Assault Mode Activate", and were used Yusei Fudo and Jack Atlas in a special episode.

Majestic[edit]

Main article: Majestic

"Majestic" monsters are upgraded forms of the Signer Dragons, temporarily granted to their users by the Crimson Dragon. "Stardust Dragon" and "Red Dragon Archfiend" are the only Signer Dragons to have been given this power. "Majestic" monster are Summoned by Tuning "Majestic Dragon" with one of the Dragons and one Level 1 non-Tuner monster. They have powerful effects, but, as they are temporary upgrades, they return to the Extra Deck during the End Phase while Special Summoning their base form from the Graveyard.

Malefic[edit]

Main article: Malefic

"Stardust Dragon" is the only Signer Dragon with a "Malefic" counterpart: "Malefic Stardust Dragon". This card was used in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D Bonds Beyond Time movie by Paradox, who stole the original "Stardust Dragon" from Yusei Fudo and transformed it into "Malefic Stardust Dragon".

Synchro Dimension counterparts[edit]

In the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime, Jack Atlas' Synchro Dimension counterpart used a new version of "Red Dragon Archfiend": "Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend". This monster appears to be "Red Dragon Archfiend" after it was 'scarred' by "Junk Warrior", thus paying homage to the last episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime. "Scarlight" also possesses an upgraded form: "Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend".

Duel Dragons[edit]

Main article: Duel Dragon

In the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's manga, the Signer Dragons do not appear. Instead, a similar series known as the Duel Dragons is featured, and it is used by the modern Duel Priests. Many of them are slightly redesigned Signer Dragons: "Ancient Pixie Dragon", "Black Rose Moonlight Dragon", "Blackfeather Darkrage Dragon", "Hot Red Dragon Archfiend" and "Stardust Spark Dragon". There is no Duel Dragon counterpart of "Life Stream Dragon"; "Power Tool Mecha Dragon" appears instead. All the Duel Dragons and their variations have been released in the TCG/OCG.

Playing style[edit]

There are various kinds of playing styles for each dragon, especially "Stardust Dragon" and "Red Dragon Archfiend". All of the dragons (except "Life Stream Dragon") have no specific Summoning conditions, making them easy to Synchro Summon, so they can be used in almost any Extra Deck.

  • The Signer Dragons that were used by male Signers are Level 8, while those used by female Signers are Level 7.
  • DARK is the only Attribute represented by more than one Signer Dragon ("Red Dragon Archfiend" and "Black-Winged Dragon"), while WATER and DIVINE are the only Attributes not represented by any of them ("Stardust Dragon" is WIND, "Black Rose Dragon" is FIRE, "Ancient Fairy Dragon" is LIGHT, and "Life Stream Dragon" is EARTH).
  • "Ancient Fairy Dragon" is currently the only Signer Dragon without any upgraded counterpart.
