Cracking Dragon

Cracking Dragon was introduced as part of the Star Pack VRAINS set, released by Konami to coincide with the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS animated series. The card is based on the iconic ace monster used by the character Revolver, also known as Ryoken Kogami, who serves as a primary antagonist and rival to the protagonist. Its design reflects the series' focus on cybernetic and data-themed monsters, featuring a mechanical, dragon-like aesthetic intended to convey a sense of digital menace.

The card functions as an effect monster, and its inclusion in the Star Pack series was designed to provide players with accessible, standardized versions of prominent anime monsters. As a common rarity card, it was distributed widely, allowing enthusiasts to integrate high-profile deck archetypes into their collections without the exclusivity associated with higher-tier rare prints. It has remained a recognizable piece for fans of the VRAINS era due to its association with the show's intense narrative duels.
