* CombatStilettos: Jiaolong wears 6 centimeter heels into combat.



* DemotedToExtra: Panthera doesn't get a concept art in Card Game Art Works at all, making only a cameo in Jiaolong's concept art to explain his gender. She demands that she receives a concept art next.

* NonstandardCharacterDesign: Caesar Valius was designed by the concept art designer to stand out, compared to the other designs.
-->''"I drew it in such a way that, while it keeps some Yu-Gi-Oh dragon-ness in its head and other parts, it also gives an impression of a last boss. Because there are lots of human characters among the 'Vanquish Soul', I figured Caesar Valius could be seen like a weirdo from its appearance. However, I enjoy drawing quirky characters."''

* DamageOverTime: While some individuals in the archetype do have decent stats, their linchpin cards Blaze Accelerator and Tri-Blaze Accelerator prevent the user from attacking in the same turn that their effects are activated, putting an emphasis on gradually burning away the opponent's Life Points and destroying their monsters rather than taking them down in battle.
* HerdHittingAttack: As its name suggests, Volcanic Scattershot is designed for blowing away packed fields, letting you send 2 more Scattershots to the Graveyard to destroy all the opponent's monsters if it's sent there by a Blaze Accelerator card.

* CardCycling: Rather than discard Pyro monsters for removal, Blaze Accelerator Reload discards Volcanic cards for extra draw. Combined with Volcanic Shell's search ability you can accrue a fair bit of hand advantage over time.

battle. Their bigger monsters have effects that inflict damage in exchange for attacking to let you pressure the opponent's Life Points under these conditions.
* HerdHittingAttack: DeathOfAThousandCuts: Burn damage dealt by Volcanic cards often comes in increments of 500, but there's a ''lot'' of them. Volcanic Emperor weaponizes this well, as it can inflict 500 damage to the opponent whenever they Special Summon -- when matched against most modern Decks that like to Summon a lot to get to their usual end board, they will be punished ''heavily'' for trying to play normally.

** If Volcanic Doomfire destroys a monster by battle, it destroys all monsters the opponent controls, inflicting 500 damage for each one destroyed this way. It even forces the opponent's monsters to attack it, so this can trigger on the opponent's turn.



* PoisonMushroom: "Volcanic Queen" is a very powerful monster with high ATK -- but you summon her to the opponent's side of the field. The trick is that she burns her controller each turn (and you get to tribute opposing monsters to summon them, getting rid of some of their cards), so if you're playing a stalling-based deck with indestructible monsters, they're stuck with something they can't easily get rid of that damages them each turn.

* BackFromTheDead:
** Doomking Balerdroch can revive from the Graveyard in Defense Position during the Standby Phase if a Field Spell is in play.
** Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon Lord can revive itself once per turn by banishing a Zombie from its controller's Graveyard.



* EyeScream: In its artwork, Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon noticeably only has one eye and an empty socket; according to the lore, the missing eye was torn out by Balerdroch.

* FauxFlame: Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon and its upgraded forms all have ghostly blue flames swirling around them, representing Zombie World's zombifying miasma rather than actual fire.



* ForeverWar: Since they're both undead, Balerdroch and Zombie Dragon have been locked in conflict for ages, both unable to die even when they seemingly battle to the death.

to:

* ForeverWar: Since they're both undead, Balerdroch and Zombie Dragon have been locked in conflict for ages, both unable to die even when they seemingly battle to the death. The balance of power only shifted when Balerdroch ripped out Zombie Dragon's eye.
* HomeFieldAdvantage: Doomking Balerdroch and all of Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon's forms are made to synergize with Zombie World's effect; turning the opponent's monsters into Zombies allows Balerdroch's effect to easily negate and banish their monsters, while allowing Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon and Red-Eyes Zombie Necro Dragon to steal monsters from their Graveyard.
* {{Necromancer}}: All three of Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon's forms can revive Zombies from the Graveyard.



* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Seems to be the case for Doomking Balerdroch. While he's initially stronger than Zombie Dragon (both in-game - Balerdroch starts with 2800 ATK while Zombie Dragon has 2400 in its first form - and in lore) and defeats it, Zombie Dragon focuses on gaining more and more power for itself and transforming into a more powerful form before challenging Balerdroch again, this time seemingly overcoming Balerdroch and taking his power to become Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon Lord.

to:

* TookALevelInBadass: After its crippling defeat by Doomking Balerdroch and the loss of its eye, Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon absorbs Zombie World's miasma to recover and become the more powerful Red-Eyes Zombie Necro Dragon. It takes another level by turning into Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon Lord, which appears to be a combination of itself and Balerdroch, implying that Zombie Dragon gets its revenge and then some.
* UnholyGround: Zombie World, a realm so unholy that everything living it touches is turned into an undead.
* VictorGainsLosersPowers: Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon Lord is implied to be the result of Red-Eyes Zombie Necro Dragon defeating Doomking Balerdroch and taking his powers. It shares some of Balerdroch's features and gains the ability to revive itself from the Graveyard, which Balerdroch has and its previous forms did not.
* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: Seems to be the case for Doomking Balerdroch. While he's initially stronger than Zombie Dragon (both in-game - Balerdroch starts with 2800 ATK while Zombie Dragon has 2400 in its first form - and in lore) and defeats it, it to take its eye, Zombie Dragon focuses on gaining more and more power for itself and transforming into a more powerful form before challenging Balerdroch again, this time again while Balerdroch never gets any stronger (reflected by him only having a single card), with their next encounter seemingly ending with Zombie Dragon overcoming Balerdroch and taking his power to become Red-Eyes Zombie Dragon Lord.

* {{Foil}}: Zombie Dragon and Balerdroch are naturally opposites in their effects, reflecting their status as bitter rivals; Zombie Dragon's various forms all have the ability to convert Zombies to their side, usually through battle, while Balerdroch focuses on suppressing their powers and crushing them without ever having to fight them head-on.
