It's now Yu-Gi-Oh 6Ds and that dragon was in the 3rd and 5th OPs. I want to know Life Stream Dragons effect.

that totally explains the mysterious dragon earlier in the series that was not Black Winged Dragon.
If your going to complain that Yu-Gi-Oh! Mangas are on the top NY times manga best sellers, you must not realize how popular Card games are(as well as the fact that you get a free card).

Well it certainly surprised me, I'll have to see that effect tho. Must be something with regards to LP or Effect damage Negation else he will be dead on that summon.

A mecha dragon evolving to a real dragon... Is that really evolution? Hehe... Anyway, I think Rua deserved to be a signer after having so much desire to be one. Furthermore, maybe the appearance of a 6th signer (which probably didn't happen in Yliaster's past) is the sign that the future is changed as well... that the world will be saved, bla-bla-bla... But lol, the ace card of deformer (machine) deck will be a dragon-type monster... I wonder what part of the Crimson Dragon his birthmark symbolizes... It's attached to the claw, so probably, it's a weapon or something?

lol Rua is a 6th signer? cool sure it seems kinda contradicting to 5D"s but look at this way. there tons of Dark Signers and Signers that battled throughout time not to mention there also secret Monsters that are waiting to be discovered(an example is Scar-Red Nova which was said to be the strongest Earthbound Immortal that battled the crimson dragon alone)

so yeah don't act surprised if they are more Signers and Dark Signers to come. honestly i want to see more Divine Monsters. there just to cool to be left behind.

It's about damn time.
Seriously, I was like "another sudden signer like Crow? Lame; no thanks," and then it was all "here's the dragon you've been waiting for!," so I was like "yeah."
And what the hell is Rua's mark? Some kind of crown?
No matter how good it is to finally see that dragon, it's just all wrong. :\

I checked yugioh wikia and it said it was the heart mark of the dragon ... now how that resembles a heart I've no idea but it's yugioh , you never know !
Also Life Stream Dragon made me go ewww when I first saw it evolving but I do love the effects it has !
And also tbh , Rua's awakening is kinda late @.@ I kinda saw it coming from the start of the series but after epi 50-60 I kinda gave up.
And now with a 6th signer , the shole show should be named 6d's , not 5 >.>

That 'toy rocket' is called 'acorn'.

Somewhat surprised that Rua became a signer, but not surprised the dragon that has been shown many times in the past (at least twice in an OP/ED and once in one of Ruka's visions) finally made an appearance.

About damn time Rua's power awakened. I knew he was a signer since before I started watching this series and am surprised it all happened in the final stretch. Life Stream Dragon has a neat design, but Power Tool Dragon looks waaay cooler.

So Lua's tattoo is supposed to be a heart huh, that is one weird heart

I'm absolutely loving the development we're getting from Rua.

Woah, woah, was not expecting Rua to get a signer mark. Or even reach 0 lp or return to 100 lp. He gets his own new dragon, too!

Man, I was not expecting any of this. Holy crap, this was an amazing episode. Rua definitely earned the title of the 6th signer after all he's been through with the rest of 5Ds.

when you die but get revived by a trading card.. calling hax on that.
Rua becoming a signer was the original plan since the start of the show so it's really not a surprise for me tbh but it was hype to see it happen even though it took 142 Episodes.

And there we have the 6th Signer. Maybe a bit too late, but better than never.

I remember why this duel was among my least favorites from 5D's - Aporia had the advantage for much of the episode and totally locked down Ruka's field since she couldn't summon monsters or set Spells/Traps, and even Jack's options were limited. At least Rua came through and awakened his Signer powers. It took way too long for us to get to this point, but at least the original 5th Signer Dragon finally got summoned.

Lua's really cutting it close here. He's always bragged and touted being a Signer since the first arc. Partially it's wishful thinking, but it's also to try and encourage Luca to fight, despite her weak constitution and hesitance to duel. As such, he's always stepped into fights first and subsequently get obliterated due to not having plot powers. After all this time, it's amazing to see all that build up finally pay off. It's kind of cheesy to just add onto the existing Signer design, but I'm all for making sidelined characters partake in the action. Plus, it feeds into the whole idea of human evolution.

How convenient that the symbol for the Crimson Dragon suddenly gained a sixth mark. I'm not against Leo being a Signer or anything, but, that new mark clearly looks out of place.

That aside, I'm not sure how I feel about Life Stream Dragon's appearance. I definitely prefer Power Tool Dragon of the two.

I was expecting Ancient Fairy Dragon to have more of a role, but it looks like Life Stream Dragon is tailored for this specific situation.

more like power tool dragon devolved. shoulda been a more futuristic design or something. I'm not a fan of the design. coulda been cooler.

This is my favorite duel in the entire series, not for the action but for how much it speaks for the characters.

Jack, the egotistical asshole that we knew, is now a gentleman who genuinely put himself in harm's way in order to encourage Rua

Aporia, who had "failed" his mission in WRGP, is now projecting his "despair" everywhere he goes. In a way, this can be seen as his call for help. He's killing his heart because it hurts so much. This man needs a big warm hug to cry on more than anyone here.

Rua, from a little boy who collected Jack's figures to someone who can proudly stand side by side on an equal footing with Jack himself. You have come far.

Ruka... is Ruka, I guess lmao

holy shit, the tension is insane. I am shocked that Leo passed his turn, the despair really got to him, and to make it worse, Aporia brings out Astro Dragon Asterisk (more like an ugly worm), which gains attack equal to his machine monsters in attack position. Eventually, Leo finally found the strength to fight again, to actually protect Luna, he no longer has to stand by and hope, he can finally do something about it and take action. Leo's trap to deflect Aporia's attack, staplen's effect, and his morphtronic lantern helped turn things around significantly and brought hope. I actually thought Leo was gone after taking effect damage for summoning out Power Tool and Ancient Fairy Dragon, but morphtronic lantern saved him and Ancient Fairy Dragon says he still has a mission to complete. LEO ACTUALLY GETS HIS OWN SIGNER MARK!! And his new dragon, life stream dragon, GO GET EM LEO
