Ablaze is RR because it has synergy with more than the Fifth Omni. It works in almost every card deck, while this is a sword, and doesn't work with almost every card deck. The 3+ damage -1 is great, it really is, but some decks can't run it due to that sword part of this card. Ablaze fits the bill with a Fist that reduces effect damage by 1 permanately, meaning a 2 and 1 damage from an impact can be reduced, while this wouldn't activate. While it doesn't have high attack power when Drum is not out, it makes up for that gap when he's out by giving it penetrate as well, which is something most decks (like Crimson) wanted. It clearly is worthy of the RR status. This isn't as powerful ability-wise, and the equip cost doesn't activate Fifth Omni's, as well as it only reduces 3+ damage. Meaning you can take 1-2 damage from an impact, when Ablaze will reduce it by 1 automatically. It's actually pretty worthy of it's RR status, like Zoro said.
