It's still Vayu, though it now has an emblem with claw marks covering its left eye, and there is a jet-black shoulder guard on the same side. Part of Vayu's jacket has been ripped off to make room for it, and a small dagger is hidden inside of it.
So, some problems with the nomenclature again.
Assault Blackwings have a distinct naming convention from the
Blackwings that Vayu is derived from. These Blackwings debut in the anime and have a naming pattern of
"Blackwing - (some word referring to wind, air, natural phenomena, or birds) the (random word that sounds cool, I guess)."Blackwings debuting in the manga are named as
"Blackwing - (historical or mythological weapon) the (astronomical phenomenon)." Vayu belongs in the previous category though, so I don't know why I wrote this, but I'm not deleting it.
Assault Blackwings have semi-differing names based on if the monster is a Main Deck Monster or a Synchro Monster. Main Deck Monsters are named as
"Assault Blackwing - (specifically Japanese weaponry) the (rain phenomenon)," while Synchro Monsters are
"Assault Blackwing - (name of mythological or legendary Japanese weapon) the (rain phenomenon)."I know you want to keep the name the same because it's basically a retrain of Vayu, but by making it a different monster with a similar effect, you can actually set up an interesting duality between the Blackwings and the Assault Blackwings. Or at the very least, keep with the nomenclature.
