But my idea differs in that I think that dragon tainted whelp as it was defeated by buster blader and slowly corrupted it from the inside or at least it's essence remained up until it became fully grown and outright changed it through it's evil aura. First that's buster whelp, WHELP, not an older version of whelp as seen on the fusion card so why would buster whelp have a dark aura around him as he grew still? Or are you trying to tell me whelp grew up, had to have the evil separated, regress back into it's whelp form and then somehow died later? No your interpretation of that dragon being it's mother is a pretty good guess or at least better than that nonsense someone tried to pull. I never understood how anyone thought prologue was buster blader separating whelp from it's evil form. Unless they print a new card showing that the Buster Dragon reincarnates into a new Buster Whelp every time its killed, and that this time Buster Blader manages to prevent the cycle of destruction, this is where their story ends. So yeah the story of the Buster Blader ends on a tragic note. (or maybe he's just a dick and wanted more power idk) But he took the essence of the purified Buster Dragon into himself, ensuring that his companion will always be a part of him. With a heavy heart, he ended his former companion's life.

But eventually Buster Whelp became the Buster Dragon, and the companionship and love the dragon showed towards the swordsman turned into an obsession, wanting to never part with him, which is probably why Buster Dragon can revive Buster Blader from the graveyard each turn.īuster Blader was forced to fight his former friend, and sadly he couldn't separate the evil from it. Or maybe the whelp was destined to become corrupted due to its linage, I'm not sure. Buster Blader's sword absorbed the essence of the foes it slew, and maybe the darkness of the sword tainted the whelp. However, as the whelp grew, so did the darkness within it. I guess he didn't have it in him to kill an innocent child or leave it to die in the wild. Taking a chance, against his better judgement, and against everything he's known and believed in, he took in the whelp. On one fateful mission, he saw the Buster Whelp with its mother (the black dragon from prologue), and seeing that the mother did not have any concerns with hurting its child while battling Buster Blader, he rescued the whelp while slaying the mother. This is the story that I've gathered from the card arts.īuster Blader hated dragons, slaying them with no restraint. The Buster Whelp could only be purified through death, and Buster Blader absorbed his dragon so that it would always be a part of him. What this means is that the story ends with the fusion of Buster Blader and his companion into the Dragon Slayer. This card did not depict Buster Blader being able to rescue it from its evil half it instead depicts their first meeting. However, the English name signifies that this is not true at all, and that the word cradle used before was supposed to mean infancy, as in, beginning. From the art, people assumed that it was the latest installment of the story showing Buster Blader able to separate the good and evil halves of his pet dragon, and rescuing it in with his arm as the 'cradle'. When the card was first spoiled from Japan, it was called the Cradle of the Destruction Swordsman.
