Card Appearances:Cyber Dragon

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

 * "Cyber Dragon" was the featured card for Zane Truesdale in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. However, after he obtained the Cyberdark cards, he focused more on using "Cyberdark Dragon" for a while.


 * In Episode 8, this card's attack color was red flames, but after that it was changed to blue streams in later episodes. Also, this card's summon without Tribute was treated as a Normal Summon, not a Special Summon as it is in the OCG and TCG.


 * In the English anime, this card's attack is called Strident Blast. In the original Japanese version, it is called "Evolution Burst".


 * Zane first used this monster during his first duel with Jaden Yuki. It is summoned through its own effect. After using "Mystical Space Typhoon" to destroy Jaden's set card, Zane had this card attack and destroy "Elemental HERO Avian". Jaden then destroys this card with the effect of "Elemental HERO Thunder Giant". Zane then summons another copy with its effect. He then uses "Monster Reborn" to bring back the copy in his Graveyard. He then uses "Polymerization" to fuse the two "Cyber Dragons" so that he could Fusion Summon "Cyber Twin Dragon". On the last turn of the duel, Zane uses "De-Fusion" to defuse his "Cyber Twin Dragon" back into two "Cyber Dragons". He then uses "Power Bond" to fuse the two "Cyber Dragons" on the field with the one in his hand so that he could Fusion Summon "Cyber End Dragon".


 * Zane also used this card in both his duels with Jesse Anderson and his duels with Camula, Aster Phoenix, Mad Dog, Chancellor Sheppard, Doom Dozer and Goblin Elite Attack Force.


 * This card was also seen when Blair Flannigan dropped Zane's deck in episode 020.


 * Zane used this card again in his duel against Camula. He uses "Power Bond" to fuse his three copies into "Cyber End Dragon". When it attacked and Camula activated "Red Ghost Moon", Zane used "De-Fusion" to defuse "Cyber End Dragon" back into the three copies. One copy is later attacked by "Vampire Genesis", but Zane activated "Attack Reflector Unit", Tributing a copy to summon "Cyber Barrier Dragon". Later Zane used "Photon Generator Unit" to Tribute the two remaining copies so that he could summon "Cyber Laser Dragon".


 * Zane used this card in his second duel with Jaden. Zane uses "Polymerization" to fuse his three copies into "Cyber End Dragon". After its ATK was halved by the effect of "Wild Half", Jaden had "Elemental HERO Wildheart" attack it, but Zane used "De-Fusion" to defuse "Cyber End Dragon" back into the three copies. A replay then occurs and Jaden chooses to have "Wildheart" destroy the Half Token. One copy then attacked Jaden directly, but Jaden used "Draining Shield" to negate the attack and gain Life Points equal to the ATK of the copy. The other two copies then attack Jaden directly. The three copies were then destroyed by "Elemental HERO Wildedge"(thanks to its effect). Zane then used "Return Soul" to return the three copies back into his Deck. He then uses "Future Fusion" to send all three copies from his Deck to the Graveyard so he could Fusion Summon "Cyber End Dragon". Later Zane uses "Cybernetic Fusion Support" to remove the three copies from play while also using "Power Bond" to Fusion Summon "Cyber End Dragon".


 * Zane used this card in his duel with Aster Phoenix. He Special Summons it via its own effect. He then has this card attack "Elemental HERO Avian", but Aster activates "Draining Shield", however Zane then activates "Trap Booster" to activate "Trap Jammer" from his hand. Aster then activates his own "Trap Jammer", negating Zane's copy and destroying it. The effect of Aster's "Draining Shield" then continued, negating this card's attack and increasing Aster's Life Points by the ATK of this card. Aster then attacks and destroys this card with "Elemental HERO Phoenix Enforcer" with the latter's effect preventing its destruction. Zane then uses "Power Bond" to fuse the two copies in his hand to Fusion Summon "Cyber Twin Dragon". On the last turn of the duel, Zane uses "Polymerization" to Fusion Summon "Cyber End Dragon" while also using "Cybernetic Fusion Support" to remove his three copies from play.


 * Zane uses this card in his duel against Mad Dog. It is Special Summoned via its own effect. Mad Dog then destroys it with "Rust Machine Virus of Acid". The other two "Cyber Dragons" were most likely sent to the Graveyard due to "Future Fusion". On the last turn of the duel he uses "Cybernetic Fusion Support" to remove from play the three copies in the Graveyard to summon "Cyber End Dragon"("Cybernetic Fusion Support" acted as a substitute for the other two "Cyber Dragons").


 * Zane uses this card in his duel against Chancellor Sheppard. He uses "Future Fusion" to send all three copies from his Deck to the Graveyard to Fusion Summon "Cyber End Dragon". After Sheppard activates "Cyber Shadow Gardna" and makes it into a copy of "Cyber End Dragon", Zane uses "De-Fusion" to defuse his "Cyber End Dragon" back into the three copies. This caused "Cyber Shadow Gardna" to become a copy of "Cyber Dragon". One copy then attacked "Cyber Shadow Gardna", resulting in both monsters' destruction since they had the same amount of ATK. Sheppard then activates "Byroad Sacrifice" to summon "Cyber Ogre". Zane then has one of the two remaining copies attack "Cyber Ogre", but Sheppard then discards another copy of "Cyber Ogre" in his hand to negate the battle and increase the ATK of the "Cyber Ogre" on the field by the ATK of this card. Zane chooses not to attack because of that. Once Sheppard starts his turn, Zane activates "Attack Reflector Unit" to Tribute one of the two remaining copies and summon out "Cyber Barrier Dragon". This prevents Sheppard from attacking with "Cyber Ogre". Zane later uses "Photon Generator Unit" to Tribute the remaining copy and "Proto-Cyber Dragon" to summon "Cyber Laser Dragon". After Zane uses the latter card's effect to destroy "Cyber Ogre", Sheppard activates "Scrap Fusion" to banish all three copies and Fusion Summon "Cyber End Dragon" on his side of the field.


 * Zane uses this card in his duel against Jesse Anderson. He uses "Future Fusion" to send all three copies from his Deck to the Graveyard to Fusion Summon "Cyber End Dragon" on his second Standby Phase after the activation of "Future Fusion".


 * When Zane went to save Syrus from a "Doom Dozer", Zane uses "Power Bond" to fuse the three copies of this card in his hand to Fusion Summon "Cyber End Dragon".


 * Zane uses this card in his duel against a Goblin Elite Attack Force Soldier. All three copies then attacked and destroyed "Luster Dragon", "Spear Dragon" and "Return Zombie". Zane then uses "Power Bond" to fuse the three copies into "Cyber End Dragon".

 * Zane uses this card in his duel against the Yubel-possessed Jesse. He summons it via its own effect. This card then destroys "Advanced Crystal Beast Amethyst Cat". Jesse uses "Advanced Dark"'s effect to negate the damage. Later Jesse attacks this card with "Advanced Crystal Beast Sapphire Pegasus" affected by "M-Force", but Zane uses "Attack Reflector Unit" to Tribute this card and summon "Cyber Barrier Dragon". Later Zane uses "Polymerization" to fuse the two copies in his hand to Fusion Summon "Cyber Twin Dragon". After both of his monsters attacked. Zane uses "De-Fusion" to defuse his "Cyber Twin Dragon". One copy then attacks Jesse directly. The other copy then attacks directly, but Jesse negates the attack with "Rainbow Path". Later Zane uses "Photon Generator Unit" to Tribute the copies out to summon "Cyber Laser Dragon".

Design



 * The design of cards in the "Cyber Dragon" series have links to Chinese mythology, with Cyber Dragon, Cyber Kirin, Cyber Phoenix and Chimeratech Overdragon being based on the Chinese dragon, Qilin, Fenghuang and Chimera respectively.


 * Cyber Dragon's design is based on the Chinese Dragon and as such is similar in shape featuring a long limbless body. It features white sheets of metal overlapping spikes on the upper and lower parts of the body and metal tubes connected from the neck to it's mouth and glowing eyes. Its mouth and eyes can vary in position to display emotion.
