The first instance of dragons being referenced is during Index's rampage after getting her John's Pen Mode activated to attack Kamijou Touma. Here, Index uses St. George's Sanctuary named after St. George to distort the space between her and Touma. She later uses Dragon's Breath against Touma, which according to the possessed Index is the most suitable spell against Touma's Imagine Breaker. Indeed, Touma could not fully dispel the attack and required the help of Stiyl Magnus and Kanzaki Kaori to defeat John's Pen Mode Index.

One of the most notable reference to the dragon in the series is the dragon that appeared in place of Touma's arm after being severed by Aureolus Izzard.

Touma's arm is later reattached by the Heaven Canceler and asks if his arm is made out of fantasy.
