Count Dawn is a senior officer in the Buddy Police, hailing from Legend World. He belongs to the Omni Lords, guardians against existential threats, and tends to lead within their circle. His appearance features distinctive horns marking Omni Lord affiliation, and he speaks with a Romanian accent.
His critical vulnerability is a severe reaction to sunlight or sun depictions, causing instantaneous disintegration into dust. He rapidly regenerates inside a nearby coffin, experiencing only mild pain. This process often bewilders observers and is consistently accompanied by a distinct "holy" sound effect.
His abilities include teleportation via coffin, remote viewing through a one-eyed bat familiar, and swift regeneration after disintegration. He utilizes these powers for surveillance and strategic intervention in conflicts.
His backstory centers on tragedy during "The Disaster." While assisting survivors with his Buddy Police partner, Daichi Fujimiya, sunlight disintegrated him as he helped Daichi escape wreckage. This disintegration directly caused Daichi's death. Honoring Daichi's dying wish, Count Dawn assumed a protective role over Daichi's daughter, Kazane Fujimiya, eventually becoming her 100th friend.
Within the narrative, he spearheads the Buddy Police Youth division and combats threats like the Hundred Demons and illegal monster activities. He possesses knowledge concerning sealed entities such as Yamigedo and the scattered Omni Lords, though his awareness of their specific locations or identities remains incomplete. His relationship with Commander I involves operational friction.
In later arcs, specifically the GGG Cup, he returns as an active participant. A "Re:B" variant card reflects an evolved state, introducing the "Return of Dawn" ability. This mechanic allows strategic retrieval from the drop zone during any player's main phase by paying 1 life and drawing a card. It enables him to shield other field cards by sacrificing himself.
His relationship with Kazane Fujimiya evolves into mentorship and guardianship, rooted in his commitment to her father. Professionally, he maintains analytical composure during crises, exemplified by calmly dispelling hazards created by adversaries like Orthrus.
