Imperialdramon Dragon Mode (Black) is an Ancient Dragon Digimon. Imperialdramon Dragon Mode was incapable of controlling its excessive power and was turned into a Virus, resulting in this form.[3] Once it starts going berserk, it runs the whole gamut of destruction with no way of stopping it. It is said that there exists an Imperialdramon Fighter Mode (Black) that controls its destructive power through its heart of darkness.[4]

Digimon Liberator[]
During Sam the Clown's duel with Violet "Vi" Inboots, Violet's BT20-079: Necromon tries to destroy Sam's BT16-077: Dinobeemon but Sam cheats and changes the EX3-063: Imperialdramon Dragon Mode in his hand to be BT20-076: Imperialdramon Dragon Mode ACE instead and uses its effect to DNA Digivolve Dinobeemon with a EX3-010: Paildramon card in his hand before it could be destroyed. He uses its When Digivolving effect to destroy BT20-062: Candlemon, then digivolves it to BT20-020: Imperialdramon Fighter Mode (which he also cheated by putting it into his hand).

When Shoto tries to delete Sam's BT20-016: Palidramon with EX7-074: MedievalGallantmon, he uses Paildramon's effect to save it and have it DNA with one of his Dinobeemon to become ACE. Ace's When Digivolving effect destroys MedievalGallantmon. He then digivolves it to Fighter Mode. Sam's BT20-094 card later plays the ACE from under Fighter Mode back to the field.
