Overview
- Not to be confused with the set.
The Empire Dragon (also known as the Unagami black dragon)[1] is a Cyber Dragon that is the manifestation of Unagami's anger.[2] Because of this, Unagami can conjure or transform into it[3] whenever he's angry or desires to threaten someone. It is one of three shapes/forms that Unagami has adopted inside and outside of Prime Empire.
History
History[]
The Maze of the Red Dragon[]
Unagami transforms into the Empire Dragon to unleash his anger on Okino and tells him that he'll hear from him again soon.
The Temple of Madness[]
Unagami finally opens the portal to Ninjago City, but before he could leave, he engages in a fight with Jay, who only manages to delay him for a few seconds. Due to that, Unagami transforms into the Empire Dragon. After he defeated Jay, the Empire Dragon enters Ninjago.
Game Over[]
After entering Ninjago, Unagami, as the Empire Dragon, engages in a fight with Jay and his Blue Dragon all over Ninjago City, this leads them to the top of Borg Tower, where Unagami destroys the Blue Dragon, leaving Jay only on his feet, on top of the helipad, there the Empire Dragon prepares to defeat Jay, but after Jay manages to calm him down through understanding and compassion, Unagami returns to his normal form to finally talk with his creator, Milton Dyer.
