Also known as the executioner. Here are some examples:





It can be applied from back control, seems like a good option if the gloves are getting in they way of the rnc.

But since it is a rather brutal crank, fighters dont do it in training, it would be considered a douche move. Without training people forget it is an option, but I truly believe it could work well in mma.

Probably ignored because you're only likely to catch white and yellow belts with it.
Not really, it is done from dominant positions. And it is a brutal cervical crank, so it is a forbidden move in bjj
 
I think the arm angle to wrap up a neck backwards takes an extreme amount of shoulder flexibility and is unlikely to get wrapped up

Seems applicable in a north / south position or even side control where too many guys search for a D’Arce.
 
Bjj belt colors

White
Blue
Purple
Brown
Black

There’s more belt colours for kids, you can only get your blue belt once you turn 16. Sherbro likely meant you can only catch white belts and young teens with it

Because it is easier to apply, almost intuitive if you understand chokes. Been in both, I think the vice aspect can be about the same if you are rolling with a dickhead. Bohlander's crucifix in UFC 12 would also be similar. Neck cranks of any kind suck!
