Ryoga Kamishiro, nicknamed Shark, is a character in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL and is Yuma Tsukumo's rival.
Design
Ryoga has dark blue eyes, pale skin and dark purple hair, similar to tentacles hanging down, befitting his Deck theme of aquatic creatures as his hair is similar in appearance to an octopus. His other accessories include a spiked pendant similar to the one Yuma Tsukumo wears, as well as another pendant hanging down by a chain. He also owns a red, spiked D-Gazer. His attire includes a dark blue jacket over a black shirt and dark pants. When in his school attire, he wears a white shirt with green-lined sleeves and a collar.
Personality
Ryoga's personality is quite narcissistic as he believes that he is the number one Duelist. He flaunts this power about by taking the Decks of the people he beats, making them squirm in the process such as when he defeated Tetsuo. When he became possessed by Numbers, he became quite violent, destroying the scenery surrounding him during the Duel.
Anime biography
Ryoga challenged Yuma Tsukumo to a Duel. When the mysterious entity Astral appeared before them a new legend began.[1]
In the past, Ryoga was a well known Duelist within the national circuit of Duels, and a favorite to win.
It's mentioned that Ryoga was a participant in a certain national tournament, but didn't win. Yuma guesses during their Duel that Ryoga's apparent obsession with making him give up was because Ryoga himself had given up on something precious to him. Judging by Ryoga's reaction, it's safe to assume that Ryoga gave up on being a pro Duelist and became a bully after losing at the national tournament.
Ryoga first appeared whilst Yuma and Kotori were observing the Duels going on within their middle school grounds. He was seen quickly defeating Tetsuo without taking one point of damage, after this he then took Tetsuo's Deck and belittled him along with his friends. When Yuma stood up for Tetsuo, Ryoga asked Yuma what was most precious to him, to which Yuma looked down at his pendant. Seeing this as a chance, Ryoga snapped Yuma's pendant and broke it whilst his friends restrained Yuma from hitting Ryoga. Ryoga then suggested that Yuma should Duel him in order to retrieve Tetsuo's Deck back, to which Yuma accepts.
Ryoga is then seen within the city square, and then begins his Duel with Yuma. Within the Duel, Ryoga quickly gains an advantage with his "Big Jaws" and "Aqua Jet" combo. He then traps Yuma with his traps and then his passion for winning Duels gets the better of him and allows him to be possessed by Numbers to which he then proceeds to Xyz Summon "Number 17: Leviath Dragon".
As the Duel progresses, Ryoga begins to toy with Yuma taking his Life Points down to a small fraction. But Yuma managed to come out of this, and managed to defeat Ryoga with his "Number 39: Utopia" at 5000 ATK, which knocks Ryoga out, winning Yuma the match.
Ryoga then awoke, and gave Yuma Tetsuo's Deck, and said that Yuma is different than everyone that he has faced before. He then walks off silently.
He is then later seen riding in a motorbike, after Yuma's Duel with Fuya Okudaira. It's a rouge motorcycle with a single thick wheel.(This may be proof that turbo dueling still is known about).
Whilst Yuma was late to school, he ran across a crossing to almost be hit by Ryoga whilst he was on his motorcycle. After Yuma is belittled by his friends who believe that his victories over Shark and Tokunosuke Omoteura were just because of his Numbers he decides to find Shark and challenge him to a rematch, without using the help of Astral or his Numbers.
When Yuma finds Shark, he refuses to Duel as his previous loss to Yuma caused him to give up Dueling. Yuma then proceeds to chase Shark and annoy him by requesting a Duel until he accepts (based on his reactions during the duel it can be assumed that he only accepted in order to defeat the Numbers.). As the Duel progresses, Shark's burn strategy begins to take its toll on Yuma. Shark tells him use his "Numbers" anyway, so Yuma brings out "Utopia". It was not enough, as Shark weakened it with "Killer Frilled Shark", then proceeded to negate its effects and destroy it with his newly acquired "Black Ray Lancer". With a final direct attack from "Aero Shark", Yuma lost the Duel, losing his pride along the way. Yuma bet his pendant in the Duel as a prize, but when Shark took it, he threw it behind him onto the floor beside Yuma, warning him not to bother him again.
