Just wondering, but is it possible that each booster will have a certain skill that only they can use?

Nearly all that we know about DB Academy is pure speculation. So no one can say that you're wrong either way. Shadow Booster hasn't shown off anything that appears to be trademark to him, but that dosn't mean none of the Boosters will. Only time will tell.

Unless you call the fire holding thing the Fire Booster was doing in the picture an indication of her special skills when they saw it in the academy. Either that, or the painter got creative. And if that is a foreshadowing of special skills, I hope the other boosters have some too, otherwise it would just seem as though the writers are making up for Kitt's lack of purpose in the plot with a special skill. And personally, that doesn't seem fair to the other boosters, omitting Artha, cause he's already super special. So if it is an indication, perhaps the others have a power too, otherwise, it's just painted there for prettiness, IMO.

Possibly. The different dragons all have different abilities (red for speed, green for strength and so on), so it seems logical that the boosters would each have a specialized ability to go along with that. Though we haven't seen any particular sign of what Shadow Booster's might be yet. Hmm.

Could it be that Mag-Rip technique he used in "When Opposites Attract"? For me, it looked really unique for the Shadow Booster, but I bet that won't be his only skill. :unsure:

The mag-rip is not unique to the shadow booster, although it is only used by him in the series to defeat the dragon booster. It is an ancient mag technique, that I guess artha and some of the others will learn later on. If youve watched that episode (when opposites attract) then you'd hear Armeggadon (sp?) telling him to "summon the mag-rip just like I told you", so it would be a technique that many can learn.

We might see some special abilities from the others but until they release the academy series then we wont know. (and get the amulets and gauntlets of course, since they only have two gauntlets and one amulet)

Yeah, because if they did something stupid like put the DB amulet in the Power Gauntlet the universe would probably eat itself.

I'm confident the gauntlets and amulets have fail-safes built in to them. :) They'd better given the incredible amounts of energy they must contain. And we've already seen that Lance was unable to activate the DB gauntlet/amulet in "The Chromatic Dragon". Swapping parts around probably wouldn't work.

Probably won't actually fit into the other gauntlets anyway, given the different sizes and shapes. Unless you hammared them into a different shape.

But would the DB one work for Moordryd? Artha said Beau 'choose' him on Pride of the Hero. Did that have a deep meaning, or did Artha just say it?

I think the DB amulet would work for Moordryd. In episode 1, Connor told Artha to give the amulet to whoever Beau chose. Beau chose Artha in that episode, but since he chose Moordryd as well, then I'd say the amulet would work for him, too. I think being chosen is being chosen, and that includes the amulet.

And the Magna Draconis said Artha and Moordryd would switch roles in a sense in DB:A...maybe Moordryd will transform as the DB at one point. :D

Or maybe he'll ride Beau again and activate his SB mojo. The gauntlets were designed to work together, maybe that means that their dragons are interchangable.

that'd be so drac! that way, Artha will see he's not the all so special teenager who gets to ride the ultra powered dragon that makes him so special and better than everyone else and kicks his ego...hard! down a bit! Moordryd can show he's twice as good as Artha by being able to be two Boosters! Artha's incapable to be the Shadow Booster!

i wouldn't say he's incapable. in fact if the gauntlets are suppossed to work together why wouldn't the SB gauntlet work for Artha?

Moordryd would be able to be DB because Beau let him ride him. I highly doubt that something in the Black Draconium Empire would let Artha be one of their warriors. He simply could be chosen by being able to ride Decepshun as the Vysox. It's the same deal. Decepshun as her superpowered self and Beau as his superpowered self. You probably have to be chosen to ride them cuz if you get kicked off, you could simply not be able to ride the dragon. probably doesn't make sense right now.

By work together, it probably means that all of the Boosters have to be on the same side and the concept of cooperation.

On the other hand, gold is the main color of draconium and gold dragons like Beau can mag and use all gear regardless of color. This ability may extend to Artha as well and might allow him to use any of the gauntlets. So maybe he could use the SB gauntlet, and maybe he and Moordryd could swap if needed. Though I don't think the Magna Draconis was being that literal when he said they'd switch roles to some degree in DB Academy. Still, it seems like a possibility.

Well I dont know if the Boosters each have their own powers but I bet that they do.I especially belive that the Boosters dragons have special abilities. Hmmm, A thought just occured to me. If there was a Beau originally and Beau grew his own bone mark and Decepshun became the SBs dragon and got the Vysox dragon bone mark then wouldnt the Furoxs bone Kitts dragon? HMMM.

Beau's absorbed Furox. And I find Samurox!Fracshun a little hard to envision.

Me too. i do find the thought of fracshun as the Samurox a little hard to envisage. Plus, his wonderful tattoo will probably be lost, and that thing is so cute.

And as Sarah Frost has said, Beau has absorbed the bonemark of the Furox. Unless they make up an episode where somehow it is released by Beau, I dont think that Wildfyr will have the Furox bonemark

Need I remind you that the Furox and the Samuox are totally evAL? The bonemarks don't just give a dragon a wicked new paint job and cool powers, they also allow the spirit of an ancient warrior dragon from the first Dragon-Human war to take over the mind of the affected dragon. (And rider to a certain extent.) The dragons will probably get something cool from the activation of their riders' gauntlets, but I doubt that bonemarks would be involved since they contain the souls of the bad guys.

I'm not sure if the other dragons are going to get bone marks or not, but I can't see it being Furox or Samurox if they do. Those were seriously bad dragons and not to be messed with. Connor/Mortis knew of Furox from legend, and if Furox had been the original Fire Booster's dragon, then he should have known that and said something. Plus the portrait of the Fire Booster in the Academy seems like the type of thing that's kept there because the Fire Booster is revered, and a dragon like Furox that fought the original DB doesn't fit with that. That leads me to conclude that the original Fire Booster had some other as yet unnamed dragon. Whether or not there's a bone mark from that dragon around is up for grabs. So far, we haven't seen a bone mark from a "good" dragon so I'd say it's unknown if they exist.

I don't think it's necessarily required that Wyldyr, Fracshun and Cyrano receive bonemarks to become more powerful, assuming that's needed at all. After all, Beau generated his own bone mark spontaneously when he was matched with the right rider. Of course, Beau is a gold dragon with special abilities, but it seems within reason that there might be a way for Kitt and the others to focus their energies with their dragons and release their dragon's power some how which might cause a bone mark to emerge spontaneously like Beau's. You could even imagine Beau contributing some gold energy which might act as a catalyst. Or maybe Connor has some liquid red, blue and green draconium around that he gives to each dragon that purifies them and enables them to power up. If liquid black and gold draconium can be made, then the other colors could be made as well.

I'm just shooting in the dark of course, but this seems like it would be plausible within the story world that has been set up so far. I really hope we get to see how this resolves. Just think how cool Wyldfyr would look as a powered up red dragon. :)

Ah yes, I forgot about that. thanks for pointing that out Elushun.

As you said Furox, connor should have said if he knew about The Furox being the original fire booster dragon, but as we have seen in the show before, Connor doesnt neccessarily tell all when it comes to abilities and the past, although we have learnt a lot from him (as connor and as Mortis).

As the dragons are now, they might have to be powered up with either a bonemark, or they are powered up by the gaunlets and amulets, though I dont recall Decepshun being powered up so much when Moordryd used the Shadow gauntlet for the first time, but please tell me if I am wrong about that.

Seeing as beau was born the way he was, he never needed a bonemark, and has the raw potential to power up whenever he wants, as we have seen many times (the wings, beau and artha being as one, the cool claws from 'misjudged' and so on). But youd expect that the other would need a little help with that, seeing as they were never born like that, they are essentially normal dragons, if there is such a thing.

I suppose we have to wait and see *sigh*. Hopefully the writers will come up with something, either bonemarks, gauntlets or another force enabling the dragons to be on par with (or near as) Beau.

Plus, i'd love to see wildfyr as a powered up dragon, although fracshun is the one I want to see powered up. I love him, he is so cute.

Decepshun was a pure black when Moordryd first used his gauntlet, which gave Decepshun the ability to change to another form so she wouldn't be recognized.

I think the other dragons, Wyldfyr, Frachsun and Cyrano will have to change into pures at the very least. If they don't, they'll have no other form to change too, and can't go with the booster into battle, cause they'll be recognized. Unless they use a chrome shifter or whatever those things are called which they used to put the crew logos on the dragons in The Leap of Lorius. Plus, pure dragons are stronger, faster and smarter, which those dragons may need to be in order to battle the evil forces. And if Kitt, Lance and Parm attempt to do any mag-moves, they'll have to have pure dragons, since pure mag energy is the easiest to use. They are not skilled enough to use anything less.

The original Fire Booster, Power and WhateverBlue Booster's original dragon's bonemarks could still be out there somewhere, so it's possible they'll absorb those, and I think those bonemarks would go willingly into those dragons, being the dragons of the new boosters and all.

To absorb the bone mark the dragon needs to be pure, otherwise it'll just be sticking to their fore head.... that'll be dumb eh..?

One has a question:

In the show there are slight hints towards a romance between artha and kitt. So one was wondering are there any hints towards beau and/or any other dragon simialar to his specie? in futher episodes? my reason is that in the legend it states turning the dragons back to gold is there a hidden meaning to this?

LUGIA FLYHIGHT

Huh? lugia flyhight? I don't think that relates to the topic and goes somewhere in a different topic. Someboy tell me if I'm wrong.

No you're quite correct. This has nothing to do with the topic at hand.

Thanks for letting me know Elushun!

deepest apolagies, i didn't know were to put this message.

Find a poll or topic with pairings with humans. There's a few of them on this forum. Look and post stuff like that in those topics instead.

back to the topic at hand how exactly did Desepshun become pure in the first place? i saw the episode but can't figure it out. and coudn't the other dragons be changed this way as well.

She became pure when Word's pod thing exploded on her. She was investigating it when BOOM! It explodes! And she gets turned into a pure black dragon.

but like i said before. could something like that happen to the other dragons to the same efect?

Perhaps. The main issue would seem to be the time it takes to make the lens Word used in his pod. He said it took him years to make it using pure black draconium, but logically it would seem one should be able to make a similar pod that works on other colors of draconium. You'd need some pure draconium of the particular color and we don't know how hard it is to get that. That's one problem. And the other would be the years it would take to make the lens for the pod.

But assuming you could get hold of the draconium and had years to invest in making the lens and pod, then it seems like you should be able to pull it off. While I think this could be useful in a fan fiction, I think it's unlikely we'll see anything like this in the show itself. In general, the writers don't seem to like going back and re-using previous plot devices in later episodes, instead preferring to use something new. :)

But could Word make another pod? I mean, he knows how to make it. :unsure:

I highly doubt that the Furox and the Samurox are going to be going to Wyldfyr and Fracshun. Like it was previously stated, they are dragons of war and certainly would not be interested in helping for good.

I think it's more logical that Lance, Kitt, and Parm will find the bonemarks that the dragons of the original Energy, Fire, and Power Booster had. The Magna Draconis himself said "Armeggaddon knew that 8 dragons combined were far easier to control than just one. That one turned and Decepshun bears THAT bonemark!" Isn't the one that turned the Dragon of the original Shadow Booster? So the current SB has the old SB's bonemark, the current DB has the old DB's bonemark, so the upcoming FB, EB, and PB should have the old bonemarks of the FB, EB, and PB.

In theory, Word could also make a Blue, Red, and Green draconium pod, but for what reason? He's too obcessed with his Black dragons, so I don't think that would happen.

There's also liquid draconium. If there hadn't been an intervention, Beau would have become a pure Black dragon. It's possible that some other Dragon Preists, like the ones in the temple where Parm got the PB gauntlet, have vials of liquid Red, Blue, and Green draconium.

But I had a theory while typing this... combining the machine-assisted way of turning pure and the Dragon Preists... It is possible that on their quests to find the other Booster amulets and gauntlets that they come in contact with other Dragon Priests with ancient gear that either intentionally or unintentionally makes the other dragons pure. Cyrano trying to deflect a Green mag attack like the ones in Professor Stubborn could probably effect his bones if the frequency is just right.

I think the Samurox could go to Frachsun, but only if Frachsun turned pure. Then he could absorb it like Beau and Decepshun did to their bonemarks, and use it however he wanted. The Furox was a dragon of war too, yet Beau magged Artha up to saftey when he fell using the red draconium. I'm sure Furox wouldn't have wanted to do that. And we see Decepshun invoking the Vysox whenever she wants to, and seems to have control over it. I think whether Frachsun gets the Samurox depends on whether once a dragon absorbs a bonemark, they have complete control over it. The Samurox still has a role to play, and I'm hoping it's more than just another one eppie appearance.

I still wonder why Armeggy is gave Moordryd the bonemark of a dragon who turned against him, and helped the SB seal him in the Shadow Track.

Ah, but does she really have control over it. Or is that just what Vysox wants everyone to think! Perhaps Vysox is just biding her time... :plot:

Yes, the fact that the bonemark was "lost" and not destroyed in that episode does indeed make it look like it will resurface at some point. Still, I don't think it's destined for Fracshun. He's only 10 and it seems unlikely that he could control a bonemark. I doubt even Beau could have done that when he was 10.

I don't quite get all that either. We'll just have to wait and see if those episodes get made so we cand find out the details. :)

True... but you do have to remember Beau is the Dragon of Legend. He's not your average Dragon. He also did the same thing with the Black Draconium when he was given the liquid Draconium. Being Gold, Beau can manipulate other mag energies very, very efficiently. So he could much more easily control and manipulate the Furox's mag energy.

It is true that Decepshun can control the Vysox. But she does not have complete control over it. It has changed her - it even says so in the show. Connor mentions she is acting strangely, and she doesn't obey Moordryd like she used to. So, no, I don't think Fracshun would have complete control over the Samurox. You also have to keep in mind that Fracshun is a young Dragon. He's only ten, and does not have the same control as an older dragon, such as Beau or Decepshun, has.

... I don't know. Maybe the Vysox was a strong dragon and Armeggadon wanted Moordryd on a strong Dragon? He probably figured that since Decepshun was so pure she would be able to quell the rebelliousness of the Vysox. But it didn't work.

The Furox made two appearances, I don't think it will be different for the Samurox. But I still don't think he'll take on a protagonist role. Samurox is the King of the Fighter Dragons, and Word himself said that the Samurox called to Khata to start a war. It seems to me that the Samurox would be very hell-bent on starting the war, not preventing it.
