Card Appearances:Five-Headed Dragon

Yu-Gi-Oh!

 * This card is also known by the Japanese name F.G.D., commonly rendered in the Anime and Manga as Five God Dragon.


 * In its first appearance, during the Duel Monsters Quest game in the "Legendary Heroes" three-parter, this monster was known as the Mythic Dragon and was under the control of the Big Five. It possessed the same effect as the Fusion version, preventing it from being destroyed in battle except by a Light monster.


 * In the Virtual World Arc, Five-Headed Dragon was a Ritual Monster, not a Fusion Monster, with its corresponding Ritual Spell Card being "Dragon Revival Ritual". It required a Tribute of 5 monsters of different attributes in order to Ritual Summon Five-Headed Dragon. (Note: When this card was ritual summoned, there was no WIND-type monster; thus this card couldn't be summoned. However, since Nightmare Penguin was a WIND monster in the anime this summon is possible. The five different attributes aspect is absent in the English dub.) When it was Summoned, it destroyed all cards on the opponent's side of the field (Note: This was probably the Deck Master special ability). However, it could not attack during the turn that it was summoned.


 * The Fusion Monster version later appeared briefly in the KC Grand Championship Arc, under control of the KC DuelTek 760 and used against a visitor to KaibaLand USA. It was created when the KC DuelTek 760 activated DNA Surgery, turning its Battle Ox and four Goat Token into dragons, then fused them with Polymerization. This marked the first and only time to date that a Five-Headed Dragon was actually able to defeat the player facing it.


 * In Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters, the Fiendish Five members Meteor Dragon, Luster Dragon #2, Tyrant Dragon, Aqua Dragon, and Serpent Night Dragon combined to form the Five-Headed Dragon during Trial 5. (Note that Aqua Dragon is a Sea Serpent-Type in the real game.)

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX

 * In episode 5, this is the card that Professor Banner picks up for his scary story.
 * Zane Truesdale includes this card in his Fusion Deck after he acquires the Underworld Deck. It can be seen there in episodes 95 and 163.
 * Trueman plays two copies of this card in his third duel against Jaden Yuki during episode 160. He fuses "Des Volstgalph", "Spirit Ryu", "Rare Metal Dragon", "Infernal Dragon" and "Spear Dragon" with "Future Fusion", then activated "Dragon's Mirror" to immediately Special Summon this card on his first turn.
 * This card appears in the GX Japanese closing song, Borderline Battle.

Video games

 * Helio and Houten use this in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Stardust Accelerator, where it is called "F.G.D.". Each of them can Summon it via "Future Fusion" or "Dragon's Mirror".


 * The Big Five summon this card during the Kaibaman show in Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction.
