It then attacked both opponents directly through an unknown effect, winning Pearson and Bolton the Duel.


 * In episode 95, Crow Hogan used this card in his Turbo Duel against Bolton. He found the card in a secret compartment of his Duel Runner(which he never knew about previously). Crow then Synchro Summons this card by tuning "Blackwing - Bora the Spear" with "Blackwing - Kochi the Daybreak". Bolton then activates "Synchro Rivalry" to prevent "Blood Mefist" from being destroyed by battle this turn. Crow then activates "Speed Spell - Angel Baton" to draw two cards and send "Blackwing - Zephyros the Elite from his hand to the Graveyard. Crow then sets "Blackwing - Bombardment". This activates the effect of "Blood Mefist", inflicting 300 damage to Crow, but this card's effect nullified the damage and decreased its ATK by the damage nullified. Crow then uses the effect of "Zephyros the Elite" to return "Blackwing - Bombardment" to his hand and Special Summon "Zephyros the Elite" from the Graveyard as well as take 400 damage, however this card's effect nullified the damage and decreased its ATK by the damage nullified.

Crow then uses the second effect of this card to increase this card's ATK by all the damage this card's effect nullified and decrease the ATK of "Blood Mefist" by the exact same amount. This card then attacks "Blood Mefist". "Blood Mefist" is not destroyed due to the effect of "Synchro Rivalry", but Bolton still takes Battle Damage. Bolton's Life Points then dropped to 0, winning Crow the Duel. After the Duel, Bolton apologizes to Pearson for what he did to him and vowed to make things right.
 * Later at the cemetery, Crow goes to Pearson's grave(in the dub, all the gravestones are removed) and is shown holding this card. He vows to Pearson that he will continue his legacy(in the dub, Crow vows that he will find a way to get Pearson out of the Netherworld and once he does so, he will return this card to Pearson).


 * In episode 105, Crow used this card in his Turbo Duel against Hermann. He Synchro Summons this card by tuning "Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn" with "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind". Everyone wondered why Crow summoned this card in Defense Position. Crow then activates "Defenders Intersect" to switch both this card and "Hook the Hidden Knight" into Attack Position and negate both monsters' effects. This card then attacks and destroys "Hook the Hidden Knight", winning Crow the Duel(this was due to Crow using the effect of "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind" to halve the ATK and DEF of "Hook the Hidden Knight" earlier in the turn). Hermann, unwilling to let "Hook the Hidden Knight" be removed from the field, activates "Revival Knight" to Special Summon "Hook the Hidden Knight" from the Graveyard in Defense Position, but Crow activates "Gravity Collapse", Tributing this card to negate the summon of "Hook the Hidden Knight" and destroy it. Crow, at this point, could no longer take the strain from his injured arm, so he goes to the pits and passes the baton to Jack who proceeds in Dueling. Due to the rulings of the WRGP, Jack starts off with 4000 Life Points.


 * This monster is seen in episode 113, fighting against Red Nova with the other Signer Dragons.


 * In episode 120, Crow used this card in his Turbo Duel against Jinbei Tanigawa. He Synchro Summons this card by tuning "Blackwing Armor Master" with "Blackwing - Oroshi the Squall". Since "Oroshi the Squall" was used for a Synchro Summon, its effect activates, allowing Crow to switch "Hand-Holding Genie" into Attack Position. This card then attacks and destroys "Hand-Holding Genie"(who had 0 ATK due to Crow placing a Wedge Counter on it via the effect of "Blackwing Armor Master" and removing it before summoning this card), winning Crow the Duel. Jinbei then passes the baton to Taro Yamashita who proceeds in Dueling Crow. Taro then activates the effect of "Speed World 2" to remove 4 Speed Counters and inflict 800 damage to Crow for each Speed Spell in his hand. Taro reveals "Speed Spell - Final Attack", so Crow takes 800 damage, but Crow activates this card's effect to negate the damage and decrease this card's ATK by the damage nullified. After Taro ends his turn, Leo warns Crow that Team Taiyo are planning to summon "Zushin the Sleeping Giant". In the next episode, this card attacks "Key Mace", but Taro activates "Two-Pronged Attack", destroying "Zarigun" and "Eyearmor" to destroy this card, but Crow activates "Guard Mines" to negate the effect of "Two-Pronged Attack" and inflict 500 damage to Taro. A replay occurs and Crow chooses to use this card to attack "Key Mace", but Taro activates "Dragon Capture Jar" to switch this card into Defense Position. Taro then Tributes "Key Mace" to Special Summon "Zushin the Sleeping Giant". Taro then activates "Speed Spell - Explosion" to destroy "Dragon Capture Jar" and switch this card into Attack Position. "Zushin" then attacks this card. Due to the effect of "Zushin", its ATK becomes equal to this card's ATK plus 1000 until the end of the Damage Step. "Zushin" then destroys this card. Taro then activates "Power Throw" to Tribute "Kurama" and inflict damage to Crow equal to twice the ATK of "Kurama", defeating Crow. Before Crow loses, he activates "Monster Baton" to send "Blackwing - Boreas the Sharp" from his hand to the Graveyard. Crow then passes the baton to Yusei who proceeds in Dueling Taro.


 * In episode 126, Crow used this card in his Turbo Duel against Broder. He Synchro Summons this card by tuning "Blackwing - Brisote the Tailwind" with "Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind". Since "Brisote the Tailwind" was used as a Synchro Material Monster and sent to the Graveyard, its effect activates, increasing Crow's Life Points by 600. This card then attacks and destroys "Thor, Lord of the Aesir"(whose ATK and DEF were halved due to it being affected by the effect of "Gale the Whirlwind"). At the End Phase, the last effect of "Thor" activated, reviving itself and inflicting 800 damage to Crow, but Crow used this card's effect to place a Black Feather Counter on it and avoid damage. This card then loses 700 ATK since it has a Black Feather Counter on it. Broder then Synchro Summons "Loki, Lord of the Aesir". "Loki" then attacks this card, but Crow activates "Black Sonic" to banish all Attack Position monsters Broder controls, however Broder activates the effect of "Loki", negating the effect of "Black Sonic" and destroying it. The attack continues, destroying this card.


 * In episode 127, it returned from the Graveyard for a brief moment, it helped Crow end his match with Brave, knocking out both duelists.


 * It also appeared in episode 130, in a flashback.


 * In episode 133, it was Synchro Summoned by Crow when his Life Points reached 0, with a combo existing out "Blackwing - Hiren the Sudden Gust" and "Urgent Tuning", this was possible.


 * It was destroyed by Jakob in episode 134, but Yusei saw this coming and activated the facedown card Crow gave him: "Shadow Impulse". Thanks to that card, Yusei was able to Special Summon his "Stardust Dragon".


 * In episode 136, Yusei Fudo used Revenge Twin Soul to remove from play Black-Winged Dragon and Red Nova Dragon to protect Shooting Star Dragon from Machine Imperial God Machinecle Infinity Cubic's attack. Later, Yusei summoned this card and Red Nova Dragon with Dimension Voyage, then Yusei activates Trust Chain in attempt to defeat Aporia, but Aporia however removed it and Red Nova Dragon from play using Banishing Crime. On Aporia's turn, this card along with Red Nova Dragon was absorbed by Machine Imperial God Machinecle Infinity Cubic, but Yusei destroyed his own Shooting Star Dragon using Hardship to destroy Black-Winged Dragon and Red Nova Dragon. Yusei then activates Ghoul Summoner to resurrect Black-Winged Dragon first to absorbed the damage while summoning the other two dragons without taking damage. Then he starts reviving Red Nova Dragon after that and soon his own Shooting Star Dragon. In episode 137, Yusei defeated Aporia with this card, Red Nova Dragon and Shooting Star Dragon by attacking Machine Imperial God Machinecle Infinity Cubic repeatedly and won Team Five D's the WRGP.


 * Crow later Synchro Summons this monster during his and Akiza's Duel against Sherry, using "Blackwing - Hurricane the Tornado" and "Blackwing - Bora the Spear" as the materials. Akiza then powers it up with the Trap Card "Synchro Stream" while Crow has it attack "Sorciere de Fleur", winning the Duel.


 * In anime, during episode 95 only, this card's effect is different from its actual effect:
 * Whenever you would take damage from a direct attack or card effect, this card can lose ATK equal to the damage you would have taken instead. Once per turn, you can increase this card's ATK any by amount up to the the amount lost by this effect. Afterwards, all face-up monster(s) your opponent controls loses ATK equal to that amount.
 * However, it becomes more like its OCG/TCG effect during episode 126 onward.


 * In the Japanese anime, while Summoning "Black-Winged Dragon", Crow chants “Darkened gales, become the wings that soar from resolved hope! Synchro Summon! Soar, "Blackfeather Dragon!"”


 * "Black-Winged Dragon's" first effect in the anime of placing counters is called "Damage Drain" in the Japanese anime. Its second effect of removing the counters is called "Black Burst" in the Japnese anime and "Black-Winged Burst" in the English dub.


 * Its attack is called "Noble Stream" in the Japanese anime and "Shadow Squall Blast" in the English dub.


 * In the anime, Crow claimed that Black-Winged Dragons black feathers are the pain Bolger inflicted upon Pearson.
