Jump to: navigation, search
  • This monster is based on Longyuan (which roughly translates as "Dragon Gulf") which was a legendary sword created by the legendary sword-makers of Ancient China, Ou Yezi and Gan Jiang. The sword, which, according to legend, was made bringing stream water from Cishan Mountain to the seven ponds around the sword-making fireplace (which were said to resemble the Big Dipper) and looked ethereal and profound as if you were looking at a gulf or valley where a dragon lived (hence the name), was gifted to King Goujian of the ancient State of Yue.
    • Fittingly, this monster has dragon-like features such as a scaled tail and claws adorning his armor.
    • The sword (Qixing) Longyuan is said to represent integrity.
      • ironically, this monster betrayed the "Swordsouls".
  • This card's effect to inflict 1200 effect damage is a reference to its ATK.
