Tying together Lost World, Magelleancia and… Early Wyrm lore?
\n<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong><\/p>\n

We previously called this theme “Longhua” which is the Chinese reading of the characters for Ryuuge, unsure of the exact name concept, but aware it was themed on “Romance of the Three Kingdoms” due to three factions warring to become the top dog. With further information we decided to go with a much clearer name, aware of the concepts Konami was likely trying to convey.<\/p>\n

We went with Apodrakosis to reflect the theme’s name is a play on \u6607\u83ef (Sublimation\/Ascension). Basically Apotheosis + Draco, as the theme concept introduced by Konami on Yu-Gi-Oh!.jp explained it as things that are dragon-like ascending to being an outright Dragon.<\/p>\n

Notably China heavily connects the Emperor to a Dragon, which explains why it’s ‘dragon-like’ things that aren’t quite dragons, as they have not taken the ‘throne’.<\/p>\n

Each Main Deck Monster uses its Type Name and a word that has the Chinese word for Dragon as a part of its radical (a portion of the character in question).<\/p>\n

As well, Touryuumon<\/em><\/a><\/strong> refers to an act of Ascension\/Glorification\/Rising Higher.<\/p>\n
