Ddraig

**Ddraig** is one of the Two Heavenly Dragons and the arch-rival of Albion. He is called the **Red Dragon** known as the **Welsh Dragon, Y Ddraig Goch,** **Red Dragon Emperor** and **Red Dragon Emperor of Domination**, who resides within the Longinus, Boosted Gear, wielded by Issei Hyoudou. He is feared among the Angels, Fallen Angels, Devils and the various other factions in the world for his destructive powers, which are said to be able to kill both Gods and Satans.

## **Appearance**

Ddraig is a dragon with the appearance of a large red Western Dragon, with a long neck and green eyes. He also has red and golden spikes throughout his body.

## **Personality**

Ddraig's personality has changed a great deal as time has passed. At first, he had a great deal of pride in himself, though he admits that he had an intense rivalry with Albion, the other Heavenly Dragon. Since that time, he has become somewhat depressed because of the fact that he has become known as the ***Oppai Dragon*** and the *Breast Dragon Emperor*. Ddraig even requires counseling and medication because of it. Ddraig has shown that he cares a great deal about his current host, Issei, as much as Albion cares about Vali, despite the fact that their hosts are the ones responsible for their demeaning nicknames.

He has also shown that he really likes his current lifestyle, which doesn't involve fighting his rival every time they meet, but knows that there will eventually be a time when he and Issei must fight Albion and Vali.

It also noted that he has an extremely high level of intelligence and is also wise enough to give advice to others especially to Issei, as he can tell all things about mythological things just like Azazel. Although he and Albion are powerful enough to challenge Gods and Satans, they both agreed to avoid fighting Evil Dragons, claiming that they are more brutal than other dragons.

## **History**

In the past, Ddraig was a fearsome Dragon known to have powerful flames that can incinerate anything, including Gods, and will never go out till they burn the opponents to ashes. Ddraig eventually met Albion, who was immune to his flames. Happy to meet someone who can rival him, Ddraig sealed his flames and started to compete with Albion to improve themselves, developing techniques such as Boost and Penetrate, and both eventually became famous as the Two Heavenly Dragons. During their many battles to improve themselves, both the Heavenly Dragons rampaged in the Realm of the Dead. Ddraig also fought against Grendel and Níðhöggr at an undisclosed time in the past.

Before the start of the Great War, Ddraig had borrowed some of Tiamat's legendary treasures for his upcoming battle with Albion. At one point, while continuing his battle with his arch-rival, the Vanishing Dragon, Albion, which was interrupted by the Angels, Devils, and Fallen Angels who were at war during the time. In anger, both Dragons attacked the leaders of the Three Factions, which led to their bodies being destroyed and their souls being sealed into two separate Sacred Gears, with Ddraig being placed inside the Longinus Sacred Gear; "Boosted Gear". Tiamat's borrowed treasure was left to be stolen and scattered across the world. Since then, she has been chasing after Ddraig and his hosts for a long time in order to retrieve her stolen treasure; however Ddraig always detected her presence and asked his hosts to run away. This was because he could not return her treasures and felt that he would be chased for it.

Over the centuries, Ddraig has met with countless hosts possessing his Sacred Gear, some of whom have faced off against possessors hosting Albion's spirit to continue the Dragon's long lasting rivalry, up until his current host: Issei Hyoudou.

## **Powers & Abilities**

**Immense Strength:** As one of the Heavenly Dragons, Ddraig has immense power, surpassing the Dragon Kings, rivaling the Four Great Satans and God, surpassed by the Dragon Gods. Azazel stated he'd surpassed the three strongest Evil Dragons, even Crom Cruach before his training. It took the Three Factions allying together to kill the Heavenly Dragons, both of whom would've been among the Top 10 Strongest Beings. Once resurrected, his strength overpowered Apollon, defeated Typhon, then fought Crom Cruach, who surpassed them.

**Immense Durability:** In Volume 25, Typhon's powerful lightning storm was unable to inflict any damage at all. Ddraig was also able to repel Apollon's light just by wrapping himself in his aura and flapping his wings. Ddraig also endured Crom's vicious and powerful attacks, even though the Evil Dragon had surpassed Heavenly Dragon-class.

**Doubling and Transference** (倍増と譲渡, *Baizō to Jōto*): One of the powers he developed during his rivalry with Albion. Ddraig is known for his ability to multiply his own powers and transfer that multiplied power into another being or object.

**Penetrate** (透過, *Tōka*): Another ability of his. It allows Ddraig to penetrate through all defenses. He has greater skill with the ability than Issei, able to conceal his usage such that only very experienced opponents can distinguish which of his attacks are enhanced by it.

**Fire Breath:** Ddraig can use the standard Dragon breath, although more powerful than normal Dragons, capable of covering the entire sky, He can enhance it with Boost and Penetrate as demonstrated during his battle against Typhon.

* **Blazing Inferno of Scorching Flames** (燚焱いつえきの炎火えんか, *Itsueki no Enka*): Ddraig's finishing move and ultimate flames, which can incinerate anything, including the souls of others, until nothing remains, as well as being almost impossible to extinguish. However, the only ones these ultimate flames are ineffective against are Albion, Great Red, and Ophis. Ddraig sealed this ability after meeting Albion. He later regained the ability, but will only use it in special circumstances out of concern that the undying flames will cause massive collateral damage.
* **Welsh Dragon Flare** (ウェルシュ・ドラゴン・フレア, *U~erushu Doragon Furea*): A technique which he developed after observing his current host, Issei, where he breaths out a massive amount of flames able to cover an entire island.

**Dragon Aura:** Ddraig can release a tremendous and dense Dragon aura, befitting a Heavenly Dragon, being one that is much stronger than Issei's Diabolos Dragon, making the air around him feel cold from the presence alone. It can be doubled more from using Boost, as well as releasing aura bullets, like Issei's Dragon Shot, which can be imbued with Penetrate; both allowed him to damage Apollon and Crom Cruach, who surpassed Heavenly Dragon class.

**Telepathy:** Ddraig can communicate through people, such as when he uses telepathy to communicate with Issei, Albion, Azazel, Rias, and other Dragons.

**Keen Intellect:** Ddraig is a very wise Dragon, as he can easily teach Issei how to properly utilize and control his hidden and new powers. He is also knowledgeable enough to tell Issei the relationships and history of the Two Heavenly Dragons, the other powerful and active Dragons such as Great Red, Ophis, and the Five Great Dragon Kings, as well as information regarding the mythological worlds.

**Flight:** Being a Dragon, Ddraig can fly using his wings.
