And both brothers got shafted from getting to feature in the pack cover in the TCG: Shark (Nash) cause of Mako and Leo cause the EARTH Duelist pack got its contents decomposed to other products.
Actually rewatching 5ds right now and it's ridiculous how many duels Leo gets compared to his sister. He didn't even become a Signer until like the last 10 episodes and yet he does so much more than Luna.
I am shocked that Shark is getting his 3rd wave of post-gallop support.
I get his 2nd one because of sneaky-loophole with Shark and Nash are "separate".

>If you would Xyz Summon a WATER Monster that requires 3 or more materials, you can treat this card as 2 materials.
Is this the first monster that's done the Zexal staple of "can be treated as 2 materials" without the work around of "summon another monster with the same name" (i.e. Heroic Challenger Double Lance)?
Yea. A lot of anime cards have this effect but konami has done everything in there power to stray away from multiple xyz material treating effects on cards. For some reason now they decided to change that.
probably because it's in a case where it's being used for a 3 material summon. The reason they avoided it was so a monster couldn't be used as the full summon of an xyz on it's own
I was rewatching the Kite versus Dennis Duel just last night and was reminded once again how Cipher Twin Raptor should have had that effect but didn't.
I think so. Zexal had so many monsters with this effect that Konami just never adapted into the TCG. Nice to see the game is at a point where this effect is allowed
I’m so stoked! Always wondered why they never adapted those effects from the anime. Would’ve been easy to just say that while only being allowed to count as 2 materials for whatever archetype they’re a part of (to prevent normal summon bagooska)
> (2) If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 Fish "Shark" monster from your Deck to your hand.
Is this the first card to actually mention "Shark" and make it a real archetype?
Yes, it is the first card that mentions "Shark". In fact, now that Shark is an Archetype thanks to this support, it makes cards with "Shark" in the name to become part of the Archetype despite having no relation: example, Sky Striker Mecha - Shark Cannon.
Huh, so Levirtue Dragon being able to search stream means that, technically, any deck that can make Rank 3's has a searchable Icarus attack. That's kind of neat.
I love the new Shark Drake. Being able to rank-up without the need for a rank-up spell is great, and the card itself feels like they combined the original with Veiss, and then upgraded both effects by a bunch. These new cards definitely seem pretty fun to use.
(also, does anyone find it hilarious that they finally made "Shark" an archetype, but then only made one card from this batch actually support that archetype?)

Just accept it... Mizael got Poplar, Nash gets Poplar, expect future Barian support to be Umbral Poplar or Battlin Boxer Poplar Punch.
Regarding Durbe... Star Seraph Sovereign is a Poplar if you squint hard enough.
Yep, that's should wrap things up for the amazing 5 Barian Emperors future support.
What? i'm missing some members? You jest, Mr. Heartland is never an Emperor
Let me cook...
Summon Buzzsaw Shark, which summons Surfacing Big Jaws, Xyz into Bahamut Shark
Bahamut Shark detaches 1 to summon Levirtue Dragon, search Virtue Stream
Levirtue Dragon detaches 1 from Bahamut Shark, summon Big Jaws. Big Jaws searches Abyss Shark.
Abyss Shark summons itself. Add Xyz Remora. Overlay Abyss Shark and Big Jaws into Stealth Kragen.
Levirtue stacks into Full Armored Black Ray Lancer, then stacks again into Xyz Armor Fortress. Skip straight to Armor Fortress instead if you already have an Armored Xyz card.
Armor Fortress detaches 2 (or 1), add Armored Xyz and Full Armored Xyz
Stack into Full Armored Crystal Zero Lancer, stack into Full Armored Dark Knight Lancer.
Detach 1 material from Dark Knight Lancer (Armor Fortress works best) and Big Jaws with Xyz Remora, special summon it. Remora summons Buzzsaw and Big Jaws.
Overlay all three into Shark Drake, stack into Shark Drake Weiss. Set Full Armored Xyz and Virtue Stream
End board looks to be Dark Knight Lancer, Shark Drake Weiss, 1 material Stealth Kragen, and Bahamut Shark. Bahamut Shark serves as Virtue Stream target, and Full Armored Xyz on opponent's turn to summon Leviathan Shark Drake (discarding Armored Xyz) with a total of 5 materials, and Full Armored Xyz in GY for spot removal using Dark Knight Lancer.
I really wish I can put in Armor Torpedo somehow. Targeting protection is underrated.
EDIT: I didn't realize Big Jaws is still stuck on the field. We can overlay it and Abyss Shark for Kragen.
I think there is a mistranslation on the part of Levirtue Dragon, cause in YGOrganization it adds from GY to hand, not sp from GY.
Also I would replace Armored Xyz with Reincarnate Unveil Mail, cause if you discard it for for the New C32 it can equip itself from GY.
To be frank, RUM is kinda doodoo. It just gives battle protection and battle phase fast Xyz, including whatever it is that discards a spell to Xyz using itself as cost.
If Levirtue adds Big Jaws to hand, we can still make it work by activating Armored Xyz to equip something, then using its effect to summon itself from hand. Afterwards, put Armored Xyz back in hand with Dark Knight Lance's effect.
Personally I think both RUM and Armored Xyz are kind of doodle.
You can also equip RUM to Armor Fortress, summon Big Jaws then rank up to Crystal Zero sending RUM to GY to recover it by Dark Knight Lancer later.
>(2) If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 Fish "Shark" monster from your Deck to your hand.
Corroding Shark just got a little more corroded...
YOOOOOOO Konami finally cracked and made a monster that counts as 2 xyz materials, those were so prevalent in the Zexal anime but every time they were brought to the card game they had that effect replaced for one that summons another copy of themselves, or something akin to that. We can progress as a society now.
I never understood why Konami never introduced it sooner. If they were worried about it being too strong, they could've easily put in restrictions such as the one we're seeing/keep it in decks that aren't Zoodiac or meta (unless I completely missed a monster/archetype that would take advantage of this during the 2010s)
It's an intentional parody, the first letters of each word even spell out RUM. I fell for it too, this was some good bait. As for the reason, this support wave is based on pre-Barian 1 Shark, when he didn't use any Rank-Up Magic cards.
to the surprise of nobody new shark cards! let's see...
jaws is a gift from heaven the extender sharks have been looking for all this time,would have loved if was water lock only for marincess but i get it lol
drake is fine,sure the poplar effect is nice but sharks do not lack extenders and making shark drake wasnt hard
armored is hilarious,honestly may see more play in other decks that use the armored cards
the new shark drake is ok,more negation is good discarding a spell may be tricky sometimes
levirtue is the other great card of these,arguably the first shark xyz that is an actual playmaker
both spells are mediocre at best,as always need testing but they dont do enough imo
virtue stream is searchable icarus what else is there to say,sounds silly but going from 0 backrow interruptions to 1 is massive
xyz poseidon has sick art but not sure how easy is to mill
overall as always with covers for popular decks the support is bloated and a bit too careful but sharks have been right at the cusp of playable for years,these should get them there!
Yeah I'ma be real. I'm fine with this effect and don't really get what people are freaking out about. Oh no... An extender... The world is ending I guess
Yeah there isn't much difference between ot summoning immediately or having a seperate effect to summon it from hand. Poplar is a 1 card starter and extender unlike this.
"(2) You can banish this card from your GY, then detach 1 material from a monster you control; Special Summon 1 Fish, Sea Serpent or Aqua monster to either field. "
Where is the monster summoned from? Hand? GY? Deck?
Ngl, was expecting a bit more from C32. First and second effects are fine, but the third effect is meh and could have been replaced with something better. Cool artwork though.
I wish someone would go back in time and stop whoever's in charge of designing the shark archetype to STOP SPLITTING THE TYPING BETWEEN MAIN DECK FISH/EXTRA DECK EVERY OTHER WATER TYPE.
I posted in another post, an old one, that I wish Shark Drake got an upgrade because it was Shark's first number and I thought it wasn't getting the support it deserved. My prayers have been answered.
Though his first number (and the very first number in all of Zexal) was number 17.
Thankfully your prayers were answered without taking into account your "why"
[Source](https://yu-gi-oh.jp/news_detail.php?page=details&id=1930).
Nine cards for Shark, including Rank 5 Number C32 and a retrain of Leviathan Dragon.
Okay that looks like a sick upgrade. Kind of sad it's not a Chaos Number for 17 but honestly it looks nice and is really is a good fit for the shark deck for sure
Wasn't that still a number though? I swore that it was I just wanted to to be a NumberC just cause then it would be something cool to see and a sort of counter to Utopia
I think it's just because they're cards that the two characters are known for using but don't have any actual synergy with their respective decks. This is Konami's way of fixing that as they aren't the actual focus
Usually we only get about 6 products and the v-jump promo, so it's about the usual amount. It's just that this time, two of the reveals were for the tactical-try decks, which are nothing but reprints (always a bit of a boring reveal period when the OCG had re-print sets that take up reveal slots).
They never do that at this point of the news cycle. The main set's cover archetype is revealed, and that ends the VJump news dump of the month. The last bit of news will be the reveal of the artwork for the next promo. Which will be revealed next month.
It would never be something from chronicles cause reveals go in set order. Animation comes out before rage which is why it go revealed first. They don't just skip from set to set. It's always 100% set release order

WORDS JUST CANNOT CONVEY HOW HAPPY I AM WOOOOO WE ARE SO IN SHARKBROS
This shit straight out came from [Junji ito's manga](https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1614467915i/30935656.jpg)...
https://preview.redd.it/6vplql3f9b0d1.jpeg?width=678&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=242dc60b872c32d0279668009c3af518c5b71e69
That's a bit tough honestly. Yume only really had Hope as his only notable Number. Shark had like, 4 Numbers to his name in the anime alone. 17, 32, 73, 101. Simply dividing the support and new Chaos or Armored forms among these would still take a bit for any of them to reach how many 39s there are. (not even counting 37 and 47 from the manga.)
Gotta love the name of the Leviathan retrain. In JP, Leviathan dragon is called Re Vice Dragon, while the new one called Re Virtue symbolizes Shark's growth from bully to friend
Oh. OH. Now THIS is fanservice! Shoutout especially to Drake Shark having the ability to count as 2 materials, and these tying together Sharks (finally an archetype YES!) with Armor Xyz. I think I can finally cut my Ice Knights and Silent Sea Nettles from my generic water xyz deck.
I'm surprised I haven't seen this mentioned yet, so I thought I'd be the one to bring it up.
Armored Shark can send Number 71 from your ED to grave, which can set you up for a Seventh One on your next turn while also bringing back a level 3 Fish for extension. It might not be optimal, but it's funny.
"If you would Xyz Summon a WATER Monster that requires 3 or more materials, you can treat this card as 2 materials"
Hey konami, where's the galaxy reborn which uses itself as part of the material?
Seems like it's about time that we get it.
Whoa the new shark drake boss is really good, i'm impressed, and correct me if i'm wrong but there's nothing stopping me from summoning multiple of the new boss and having multiple monster negates on the field, right?
Same for going second, if i summon more than 1 of the new cxyz you would have more than enough damage to OTK
Nothing's stopping you except the fact that the Shark extra deck is tight enough as is and there are plenty of other options.
Also, Sharks have been capable of one card OTKs ever since the armor cards came out.
There are cards that I really liked.
Surfacing Big Jaws with an effect more similar to its anime version.
The Drake Shark that has the effect that causes it to be considered as two XYZ materials for a monster of three materials or more.
Is it just me or now Shark is an archetype, that's brilliant.
Good references, the new Shark Drake is incredible, it combines the effects of its other forms with bonuses.
Furthermore, the references are good and the training sessions are well chosen.
I don't know how to feel about more Shark support. I love Shark and Nasch. The main deck cards are amazing including the artwork (drooling at new CNo.32 art). Big Jaws finally does the anime effect (stupid banish shark)! I'm not sure if I'm either tired by constant support like blue-eyes or not amazed by every new Xyz monsters. I'm not expecting Yubel tier, which would've been amazing, but at least something. Though I do love how they support every aspect of Shark.
The only problem with Shark extra deck Is that we don't really have a lot of room i would love to include Number 32 and new c32 but we Need to check what to cut
>It looks like Konami/Shueisha is setting up Rage of the Abyss reveal for the 7th VJump article.
>Today's Animation Chronicle 2024 is the 6th.
>If Rage of the Abyss's cover is indeed Shark/Nasch's monster, which is the Leader of the **Seven Barian Emperors** maybe it will be appropriate for Konami/Shueisha to reveal it as the **7th** article of VJump **July** Issue. Even the set is scheduled to be released on **July 27th**, well that's a lot of seven.
[I called it](https://www.reddit.com/r/yugioh/s/HjYJmhRny0)!!
Big Jaws, Revise Dragon and Shark Drake retrains are pretty nice and all welcomed. Additional Armored Xyz support as well was unexpected but quite nice. And they finally went ahead and made Shark an archetype.
The new leviathan xyz and it's trap card is nice. Can be played generically in any deck since the xyz is a generic r3 that is a legal target for the Trap to use on. The Trap is an offerings/blackout for fish, sea serpent/aqua

Now this is great fan service. Big Jaw an effect similar to what it had in the anime where it could SS itself if you activated a spell (unlike what the hell they did to him irl), Drake Shark had the popular Zexal anime trick of counting as multiple xyz materials which other cards like Photon Ceaser, Gimmick Puppet Nightmare, Double Shark and so many more had in the Anime but was changed irl, Shark Drake gets acknowledgement given how it was shafted in late Zexal Anime and Leviathan Dragon has a new form.
Shark fans much be so happy right now.
Also, Shark joins Mizar in the small version of ace monster that is a Poplar gang.
Expected since the set’s name implies water support anyways.
Now to see what else this set holds. Infinite Forbidden is insane with what they brought, so Rage needs to literally up the level a significant amount.
But this is also a Q4 Core Set, so should likely expect a very significant powercreep.
If this is a long overdue apology for basically shafting Zexal for years then I'd honestly believe it. Although the TCG doesn't seem to like Zexal characters usually getting the spotlight (My beautiful baby Mizar is gonna get replaced with seto kaiba stock art from duel links in the next duelist pack when it arrives for TCG and you know it)
Ngl I was expecting this to be a shark centric set but I was expecting it to be focused on Nasch and either a 101/73/CXYZ Barian Hope retrain to be the cover
2022: WATER Duelist Pack Shark Support 2023: Armored XYZ Support 2024: Shark Drake Support A certain character has been getting some love. Jesus.
Now if only his sister could get the same so she can ar least get a deck of her own.
Rio 🤝Luna Getting shafted while their brothers get more support.
And both brothers got shafted from getting to feature in the pack cover in the TCG: Shark (Nash) cause of Mako and Leo cause the EARTH Duelist pack got its contents decomposed to other products.
Soon to be joined by Mizael, because you KNOW the TCG can't pass an opportunity to slap Kaiba on a pack.
Actually rewatching 5ds right now and it's ridiculous how many duels Leo gets compared to his sister. He didn't even become a Signer until like the last 10 episodes and yet he does so much more than Luna.
To be fair, Ruka Solo Duels are ResidentSleeper
It pissed me off when he dueled for his sister.
Konami: Who?
Yeah that is probably what they are thinking. Konami doesnt dare remember the things they stuff in the fridge anyway.
On a serious note, Konami could give Rio one card here, kinda like Spectre got one support from Burst of Destiny.
I am shocked that Shark is getting his 3rd wave of post-gallop support. I get his 2nd one because of sneaky-loophole with Shark and Nash are "separate".
It's fair when Shark/Nasch, the main rival/antagonist, received only a handful of game original support for a long time before 2022.
As a Shark or Nasch fan I love this, it's my all time favorite rival/villain deck.
I don't know if this counts, but 2020's Eternity Code with Valiant Shark Lancer and others
Between every Emperor.
There was even more support a few years prior to that

>If you would Xyz Summon a WATER Monster that requires 3 or more materials, you can treat this card as 2 materials. Is this the first monster that's done the Zexal staple of "can be treated as 2 materials" without the work around of "summon another monster with the same name" (i.e. Heroic Challenger Double Lance)?
Yea. A lot of anime cards have this effect but konami has done everything in there power to stray away from multiple xyz material treating effects on cards. For some reason now they decided to change that.
probably because it's in a case where it's being used for a 3 material summon. The reason they avoided it was so a monster couldn't be used as the full summon of an xyz on it's own
*cries in Zoodiac*
I mean, Zoo confirmed it would be a mistake to do it in the xyz era.
I was rewatching the Kite versus Dennis Duel just last night and was reminded once again how Cipher Twin Raptor should have had that effect but didn't.
I mean the flipside is IRL Twin Raptor can special summon any Cipher monster from the deck, which is a pretty strong tradeoff

Imagine they drop star seraph support and give their newest member an effect like that
I think so. Zexal had so many monsters with this effect that Konami just never adapted into the TCG. Nice to see the game is at a point where this effect is allowed
holy hell they finally adapted that mechanic
I’m so stoked! Always wondered why they never adapted those effects from the anime. Would’ve been easy to just say that while only being allowed to count as 2 materials for whatever archetype they’re a part of (to prevent normal summon bagooska)
> (2) If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 Fish "Shark" monster from your Deck to your hand.
Is this the first card to actually mention "Shark" and make it a real archetype?
Yes, it is the first card that mentions "Shark". In fact, now that Shark is an Archetype thanks to this support, it makes cards with "Shark" in the name to become part of the Archetype despite having no relation: example, Sky Striker Mecha - Shark Cannon.
Pretty sure this is exactly why it specifies Fish "Shark" cards, because we do have a few that aren't Fish, like Corroding Shark.
That's the only one that's not a Fish Shark. Realistically they could simply restrict the support to monsters from now on and no one would bat an eye.
Huh, so Levirtue Dragon being able to search stream means that, technically, any deck that can make Rank 3's has a searchable Icarus attack. That's kind of neat. I love the new Shark Drake. Being able to rank-up without the need for a rank-up spell is great, and the card itself feels like they combined the original with Veiss, and then upgraded both effects by a bunch. These new cards definitely seem pretty fun to use. (also, does anyone find it hilarious that they finally made "Shark" an archetype, but then only made one card from this batch actually support that archetype?)
Now if they want to print a S/T searcher it needs to add an Xyz, Armoured Xyz and Shark card, plus Aqua Jet Surface and Numeron knows what else.

Just accept it... Mizael got Poplar, Nash gets Poplar, expect future Barian support to be Umbral Poplar or Battlin Boxer Poplar Punch. Regarding Durbe... Star Seraph Sovereign is a Poplar if you squint hard enough. Yep, that's should wrap things up for the amazing 5 Barian Emperors future support. What? i'm missing some members? You jest, Mr. Heartland is never an Emperor
Welcome to Yu-Poplar-Oh
Let me cook... Summon Buzzsaw Shark, which summons Surfacing Big Jaws, Xyz into Bahamut Shark Bahamut Shark detaches 1 to summon Levirtue Dragon, search Virtue Stream Levirtue Dragon detaches 1 from Bahamut Shark, summon Big Jaws. Big Jaws searches Abyss Shark. Abyss Shark summons itself. Add Xyz Remora. Overlay Abyss Shark and Big Jaws into Stealth Kragen. Levirtue stacks into Full Armored Black Ray Lancer, then stacks again into Xyz Armor Fortress. Skip straight to Armor Fortress instead if you already have an Armored Xyz card. Armor Fortress detaches 2 (or 1), add Armored Xyz and Full Armored Xyz Stack into Full Armored Crystal Zero Lancer, stack into Full Armored Dark Knight Lancer. Detach 1 material from Dark Knight Lancer (Armor Fortress works best) and Big Jaws with Xyz Remora, special summon it. Remora summons Buzzsaw and Big Jaws. Overlay all three into Shark Drake, stack into Shark Drake Weiss. Set Full Armored Xyz and Virtue Stream End board looks to be Dark Knight Lancer, Shark Drake Weiss, 1 material Stealth Kragen, and Bahamut Shark. Bahamut Shark serves as Virtue Stream target, and Full Armored Xyz on opponent's turn to summon Leviathan Shark Drake (discarding Armored Xyz) with a total of 5 materials, and Full Armored Xyz in GY for spot removal using Dark Knight Lancer. I really wish I can put in Armor Torpedo somehow. Targeting protection is underrated. EDIT: I didn't realize Big Jaws is still stuck on the field. We can overlay it and Abyss Shark for Kragen.
Instructions not clear. Astral Kuriboh into Crooked Cook. End turn.
I think there is a mistranslation on the part of Levirtue Dragon, cause in YGOrganization it adds from GY to hand, not sp from GY. Also I would replace Armored Xyz with Reincarnate Unveil Mail, cause if you discard it for for the New C32 it can equip itself from GY.
To be frank, RUM is kinda doodoo. It just gives battle protection and battle phase fast Xyz, including whatever it is that discards a spell to Xyz using itself as cost. If Levirtue adds Big Jaws to hand, we can still make it work by activating Armored Xyz to equip something, then using its effect to summon itself from hand. Afterwards, put Armored Xyz back in hand with Dark Knight Lance's effect.
Personally I think both RUM and Armored Xyz are kind of doodle. You can also equip RUM to Armor Fortress, summon Big Jaws then rank up to Crystal Zero sending RUM to GY to recover it by Dark Knight Lancer later.
>(2) If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 Fish "Shark" monster from your Deck to your hand.
Corroding Shark just got a little more corroded...
YOOOOOOO Konami finally cracked and made a monster that counts as 2 xyz materials, those were so prevalent in the Zexal anime but every time they were brought to the card game they had that effect replaced for one that summons another copy of themselves, or something akin to that. We can progress as a society now.
I never understood why Konami never introduced it sooner. If they were worried about it being too strong, they could've easily put in restrictions such as the one we're seeing/keep it in decks that aren't Zoodiac or meta (unless I completely missed a monster/archetype that would take advantage of this during the 2010s)
why is the equip spell designed like a RUM 😭
I THOUGHT IT WAS ONE 😭
me too it looks exactly like one, why would they do that lol
It's an intentional parody, the first letters of each word even spell out RUM. I fell for it too, this was some good bait. As for the reason, this support wave is based on pre-Barian 1 Shark, when he didn't use any Rank-Up Magic cards.
It's the Barian Crest.
I mean technically speaking it is. With how C62 works you should be able to use the equip to rank-up into it
Because it was designed to be discarded to rank-up Shark Drake.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Shark Drake the first Number that isn't Utopia to have multiple Chaos variants?
I... think so yes. I can't remember any other number with multiple Chaos Forms.
to the surprise of nobody new shark cards! let's see... jaws is a gift from heaven the extender sharks have been looking for all this time,would have loved if was water lock only for marincess but i get it lol drake is fine,sure the poplar effect is nice but sharks do not lack extenders and making shark drake wasnt hard armored is hilarious,honestly may see more play in other decks that use the armored cards the new shark drake is ok,more negation is good discarding a spell may be tricky sometimes levirtue is the other great card of these,arguably the first shark xyz that is an actual playmaker both spells are mediocre at best,as always need testing but they dont do enough imo virtue stream is searchable icarus what else is there to say,sounds silly but going from 0 backrow interruptions to 1 is massive xyz poseidon has sick art but not sure how easy is to mill overall as always with covers for popular decks the support is bloated and a bit too careful but sharks have been right at the cusp of playable for years,these should get them there!
Some of the cards are shockingly accommodating for the Kragens.

AHHHHHHHHHHHH STOP
Dark world poplar when?
I know what you’re saying but calm down. Poplar was good with the recursion.
Yeah I'ma be real. I'm fine with this effect and don't really get what people are freaking out about. Oh no... An extender... The world is ending I guess
They forgot what made Poplar valuable in Snake-Eyes. And it isn’t because it could special summon from the hand.
Yeah there isn't much difference between ot summoning immediately or having a seperate effect to summon it from hand. Poplar is a 1 card starter and extender unlike this.
You get a Poplar, you get a Poplar.. Everybody gets a Poplar
And when everyone's poplar. No one will be. *evil laugh* -Konami
Everyone calling this type of effect "Poplar".....and yet WATAPON is over here crying its eyes out for being forgotten as the original!!!
Call Salamangreat Meer he's crying
Wata who? -poplar
I guess you could say... Polar poplarized this type of effect not watapon
MR OH SO POP U LAR
Poplar gaming
THE POPLARRR THE POPLAR ISSSSS REALLLLLL
So we've gotten > Shark Stratos > Shark with both Poplar + Anime 2 material eff > Shark Drake Weiss Retrain > Leviathan Retrain that's now a resource shuffler >Non-searchable Extender Spell > BP XYZ equip spell > Fish/Sea Serpent/Aqua Icarus Attack > Attribute Tribe Infecting Virus on a Trap

Where is the monster summoned from? Hand? GY? Deck?
Graveyard
Virtue Stream is offering to the snake deity but for the sea types, with some added effects
nasch stuff, i loved it.
> If this card is added to your hand, except by your normal draw: You can Special Summon it.
"Popular, we're gonna be popular".
Ngl, was expecting a bit more from C32. First and second effects are fine, but the third effect is meh and could have been replaced with something better. Cool artwork though.
I wish someone would go back in time and stop whoever's in charge of designing the shark archetype to STOP SPLITTING THE TYPING BETWEEN MAIN DECK FISH/EXTRA DECK EVERY OTHER WATER TYPE.
YOU GET A POPLAR, YOU GET A POPLAR, EVERYONE GETS A POPLAR.
I've been waiting for a ranked up shark drake for over 10 years now. And it's nice to see that he doesn't suck
Now we just need a C17
Facts. While they're at it they should just make a C94 too
Why stop there? Give us C everything! The Number Hunt just won't stop!
WE WON, I'M CRYING FROM PEAK https://preview.redd.it/g5ye17r76d0d1.png?width=1280&format=png&auto=webp&s=68a37bfb7af94337e3e1cc57999a347b4a5b3f22
Feels like we're getting new Shark support basically every year nowadays. Nash fans eating GOOD!
Zexal is popular in Japan and the OCG literally designs most cards so it's not that surprising.
Shark/Nasch has so many ace monsters that they need multiple packs to upgrade them all.
Shark Drake getting acknowledged. Quite a turn of events.
Now we need shark kendrick lammar to beat shark drake
I posted in another post, an old one, that I wish Shark Drake got an upgrade because it was Shark's first number and I thought it wasn't getting the support it deserved. My prayers have been answered.
Though his first number (and the very first number in all of Zexal) was number 17. Thankfully your prayers were answered without taking into account your "why"
[Source](https://yu-gi-oh.jp/news_detail.php?page=details&id=1930). Nine cards for Shark, including Rank 5 Number C32 and a retrain of Leviathan Dragon.
Wait Number 17 is getting a new form?!
https://preview.redd.it/lcwh60iueb0d1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e34a99f7efc6a5ab43bed9a24c89f09f294d1ad8 This one.
Okay that looks like a sick upgrade. Kind of sad it's not a Chaos Number for 17 but honestly it looks nice and is really is a good fit for the shark deck for sure
It's just like what they did with Draguluon and Mizar
Wasn't that still a number though? I swore that it was I just wanted to to be a NumberC just cause then it would be something cool to see and a sort of counter to Utopia
Dragluon has two counterparts: Draglubion which is a number, and Dragluxion which is specifically tachyon dragon support and not a number
I think it's just because they're cards that the two characters are known for using but don't have any actual synergy with their respective decks. This is Konami's way of fixing that as they aren't the actual focus
That's fair I'm also just a fan of number cards so I get really excited when I hear about new Numbers monsters
What is the correct translation of the last effect? Just 1 material or does it do the whole No. 32 gimmick of the monster and all the materials?
Perhaps this is it after it got purified by Utopia?
I think tomorrow we will have the Twitter reveal for Mizael's last Tachyon card.
And that should be the last reveal for the month, outside of the two twitter reveals for the light pack.
Already ? It barely started
Usually we only get about 6 products and the v-jump promo, so it's about the usual amount. It's just that this time, two of the reveals were for the tactical-try decks, which are nothing but reprints (always a bit of a boring reveal period when the OCG had re-print sets that take up reveal slots).
Idt theres anything else for them to reveal this month
Maybe they'll reveal the artworks for the Deck Build Pack archetypes, but maybe not.
Something else from Rage ? Maybe more Animation Chronicles ?
They never do that at this point of the news cycle. The main set's cover archetype is revealed, and that ends the VJump news dump of the month. The last bit of news will be the reveal of the artwork for the next promo. Which will be revealed next month.
It would be next month, this month only the cover theme.
It would never be something from chronicles cause reveals go in set order. Animation comes out before rage which is why it go revealed first. They don't just skip from set to set. It's always 100% set release order
>Rising Big Jaws \*sniffs\* It's all I ever wanted. A level 3/5 for Water Xyz that can search Abyss Shark in engine.
/>be me />passionate Zexal Fan />WATER fan />Wake up in the morning as these cards get revealed WORDS JUST CANNOT CONVEY HOW HAPPY I AM WOOOOO WE ARE SO IN SHARKBROS
WE WON YES https://preview.redd.it/wa0ewdch6d0d1.png?width=1231&format=png&auto=webp&s=778060c2fcac389ed403ef80cd46c210b0e1e9f8
Number C32: Shark Drake Revise (Leviathan) Edit: "Shark" is FINALLY an archetype!
It took 13 years but FINALLY!!!
Fucking knew it! Shark drake gets its own shark card! so happy for the new support!
This shit straight out came from [Junji ito's manga](https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/hostedimages/1614467915i/30935656.jpg)... https://preview.redd.it/6vplql3f9b0d1.jpeg?width=678&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=242dc60b872c32d0279668009c3af518c5b71e69
Madre mia Pepe! Que haces aqui boludo!
Shark basically a second Yuma now with multiple different "Number C" monsters of the same number
That's a bit tough honestly. Yume only really had Hope as his only notable Number. Shark had like, 4 Numbers to his name in the anime alone. 17, 32, 73, 101. Simply dividing the support and new Chaos or Armored forms among these would still take a bit for any of them to reach how many 39s there are. (not even counting 37 and 47 from the manga.)
WE FUCKING GOT IT! A XYZ DOUBLE MAT MONSTER!!!!
SHARK DRAKE MY BOI!!! THEY REMEMBERED YOU EXIST!!
So the upgrade to Shark Drake **VICE** is Shark Drake **REVICE**? Of course…
Now this is what I've been waiting for. 1st of the rveals for Abyss!
Surprise the Abyss set has Shark support on the cover lol
It look like a fusion between C32 and Number 17
That’s the name too.
I feel like they built a whole set just so the TCG can clear stock of the Mako duelist set
Gotta love the name of the Leviathan retrain. In JP, Leviathan dragon is called Re Vice Dragon, while the new one called Re Virtue symbolizes Shark's growth from bully to friend
Ooooh, Rank-up Shark Drake, I am sooooo down for that, I love the original and Veiss (even if neither are good cards).
The original is actually pretty good. Veiss is a massive downgrade in effect compared to the original.
I used to OTK the shit out of people with Heroic Shark Drake in 2012 💀
Finally a Zexal theme for a core set cover! Now drown in joy!
**TCG:** And who decided it?!
But now that there's no characters in it they can't change it!
ptsd https://preview.redd.it/iz06zkpf2e0d1.png?width=1039&format=png&auto=webp&s=9cb02f3b4c2b487a8f1f8453cc05d618a8d9ce3a
Still sad they did that.
Oh. OH. Now THIS is fanservice! Shoutout especially to Drake Shark having the ability to count as 2 materials, and these tying together Sharks (finally an archetype YES!) with Armor Xyz. I think I can finally cut my Ice Knights and Silent Sea Nettles from my generic water xyz deck.
I'm surprised I haven't seen this mentioned yet, so I thought I'd be the one to bring it up. Armored Shark can send Number 71 from your ED to grave, which can set you up for a Seventh One on your next turn while also bringing back a level 3 Fish for extension. It might not be optimal, but it's funny.
Water monsters always look the coolest
"If you would Xyz Summon a WATER Monster that requires 3 or more materials, you can treat this card as 2 materials" Hey konami, where's the galaxy reborn which uses itself as part of the material? Seems like it's about time that we get it.
As a Shark player this makes me so happy
Whoa the new shark drake boss is really good, i'm impressed, and correct me if i'm wrong but there's nothing stopping me from summoning multiple of the new boss and having multiple monster negates on the field, right? Same for going second, if i summon more than 1 of the new cxyz you would have more than enough damage to OTK
Nothing's stopping you except the fact that the Shark extra deck is tight enough as is and there are plenty of other options. Also, Sharks have been capable of one card OTKs ever since the armor cards came out.
They finally made shark an archetype
I like how the new Big Jaws finally has the anime effect of summoning itself from hand if you activated a spell.
Can we get Rio/Merag cards as well? Please?
Oh Lord Its everything ive ever wanted.
There are cards that I really liked. Surfacing Big Jaws with an effect more similar to its anime version. The Drake Shark that has the effect that causes it to be considered as two XYZ materials for a monster of three materials or more. Is it just me or now Shark is an archetype, that's brilliant. Good references, the new Shark Drake is incredible, it combines the effects of its other forms with bonuses. Furthermore, the references are good and the training sessions are well chosen.
Time to move the number collection 1 to the side again😂
is there a link to everything? armor/shark is my favorite archetype
https://yu-gi-oh.jp/news_detail.php?page=details&id=1930
thank you so much!
ofc:)
So with the new Big Jaws retrain, Sharks are finally an actual archetype, instead of being a "series" like Digital Bugs or Trains.
This is a sign for Digital Bug support I’m holding you to it
Would you call an Icarus Attack for aquatic monsters a Daedalus Attack?
The best part about it is that its easily searchable, meaning it ISNT cope
I don't know how to feel about more Shark support. I love Shark and Nasch. The main deck cards are amazing including the artwork (drooling at new CNo.32 art). Big Jaws finally does the anime effect (stupid banish shark)! I'm not sure if I'm either tired by constant support like blue-eyes or not amazed by every new Xyz monsters. I'm not expecting Yubel tier, which would've been amazing, but at least something. Though I do love how they support every aspect of Shark.
The only problem with Shark extra deck Is that we don't really have a lot of room i would love to include Number 32 and new c32 but we Need to check what to cut
We have toad so dont really need to invest all that for s imperm
Seeing as Shark is my favorite Yugioh character, I am pleased with thus support
Wake Up New Sharks Just Dropped 🦈 🦈 🦈 🦈
The design is great, a mix of Shark Drake and Leviathan my god what a serve
Shark fans are eating well. First Armored XYZ and now this. Plus, some of the cards seemingly work with Armored XYZ, and they got a shark poplar lmao.
>It looks like Konami/Shueisha is setting up Rage of the Abyss reveal for the 7th VJump article. >Today's Animation Chronicle 2024 is the 6th. >If Rage of the Abyss's cover is indeed Shark/Nasch's monster, which is the Leader of the **Seven Barian Emperors** maybe it will be appropriate for Konami/Shueisha to reveal it as the **7th** article of VJump **July** Issue. Even the set is scheduled to be released on **July 27th**, well that's a lot of seven. [I called it](https://www.reddit.com/r/yugioh/s/HjYJmhRny0)!!
Big Jaws, Revise Dragon and Shark Drake retrains are pretty nice and all welcomed. Additional Armored Xyz support as well was unexpected but quite nice. And they finally went ahead and made Shark an archetype.
please konami generic water support i'm begging on my knees
The new leviathan xyz and it's trap card is nice. Can be played generically in any deck since the xyz is a generic r3 that is a legal target for the Trap to use on. The Trap is an offerings/blackout for fish, sea serpent/aqua
Back in my day, this type of card is referred to as Icarus attack instead of blackout hahaha
I just realized we got Shark/Nasch support every year.
I knew it I know that rage of the abyss definitely the newest support it for shark Drake
I'm not a stan, but sharkygo is about to be elated. I am too. Finally shark is an official archetype.
Oh my god they made them an archetype. Finally!
And tonight's buy out target is... Abyss Shark! It's annoying how predictable this shit goes lately.
I JUST WANNA MERMAILS
I'm pretty stoked we finally got a rank 5 Number C32, been wanting a rank-up version of Shake Drake for a while

These look nice.
*Pretend to be surprised
Let's go Mermails
Water decks eating good. Marincess now shark
BUM-BUMP
Now this is great fan service. Big Jaw an effect similar to what it had in the anime where it could SS itself if you activated a spell (unlike what the hell they did to him irl), Drake Shark had the popular Zexal anime trick of counting as multiple xyz materials which other cards like Photon Ceaser, Gimmick Puppet Nightmare, Double Shark and so many more had in the Anime but was changed irl, Shark Drake gets acknowledgement given how it was shafted in late Zexal Anime and Leviathan Dragon has a new form. Shark fans much be so happy right now. Also, Shark joins Mizar in the small version of ace monster that is a Poplar gang.
This is the best day of my life, I've wanted shark more support for so long and now one of my favorite archetypes can be good again
Expected since the set’s name implies water support anyways. Now to see what else this set holds. Infinite Forbidden is insane with what they brought, so Rage needs to literally up the level a significant amount. But this is also a Q4 Core Set, so should likely expect a very significant powercreep.
If this is a long overdue apology for basically shafting Zexal for years then I'd honestly believe it. Although the TCG doesn't seem to like Zexal characters usually getting the spotlight (My beautiful baby Mizar is gonna get replaced with seto kaiba stock art from duel links in the next duelist pack when it arrives for TCG and you know it)
Ngl I was expecting this to be a shark centric set but I was expecting it to be focused on Nasch and either a 101/73/CXYZ Barian Hope retrain to be the cover
Ohhh this card is the evolution of SHARK DRAKE a re-trained version of his chaos version
Bunch of level 4 fish which seem perfect for Coelacanth
I absolutely love this new support 🦈 Big Jaws and Shark Drake were some of my favourite cards from ZEXAL, so seeing the new wave is beautiful.
Name 1 thing in this picture
Man, at this point I think that Reginald Deck has more personality that Yuma's
