''This article is about the character. For the card, see Sun Dragon, Bal Dragon.''

"Sun Dragon, Bal Dragon", nicknamed "Bal", is a character in the Future Card Buddyfight anime and manga, and the second buddy monster of Gao Mikado.

Personality
Being a newborn, Bal is very childish and tends to get overexcited with simple things he finds interesting. Immediately after hatching Bal took a liking for Gao and is eager to learn about Buddyfight and the world. He has a habit of ending phrases with "Bal", which earned him his nickname.

Triple D
Sometime after Drum's departure Gao bought countless packs hoping to find a new Buddy Monster. Ultimately he pulled Bal's card, but it became an egg. The next day the egg hatched into Bal. Bal at first seemed to be confused about the world, but soon became excited and happy about Gao and his friends. Kyoya appeared stating that Bal had come to Earth unauthorized and wanted to take custody of Bal. Bal refused to and agreed to fight Kyoya in a Buddyfight despite being unaware of what Buddyfight was. Noboru found a bunch of Sun Dragon cards in Bal's egg's leftovers which Baku used to build a new deck for Gao.

The next day Gao faced Kyoya using the new Sun Dragon deck which surprised everyone. Bal was amazed with the Buddyfight game and wanted to fight. Using his effect he was able to defeat Azi Dahaka and then revealed his real power, the Impact Monster which Gao used to win. With Gao's victory Kyoya acknowledged Bal as Gao's new buddy much to Bal's joy.
