Card Trivia:Number 16: Shock Master
For trivia pertaining to this monster's Number, see Forum:"Numbers" Xyz Monster Trivia. Any contributions regarding this type of trivia should be placed there, instead of this page.
- This monster appears in the artwork of "Summon Gate".
- This card's name is a pun on one of the on readings of the kanji for color (色, しょく, shoku), as it also sounds like the word shock (ショック, shokku).
- This card is the first Fairy-Type "Number" monster, as well as the first "Number" monster to be Forbidden.
- Coincidentally, at the same time this card was Forbidden in the TCG, "Number 11: Big Eye" was Limited in the OCG. Both were also used by Fortuno.
- In the anime, when this monster detaches an Xyz Material, it absorbs it into its center horn. Its effect then uses the bigger eyes above its face as spotlights, and reveals face-down cards on the field of the declared type, before launching the center horn on its forehead into the revealed card; the horn regrows afterwards.
- This monster's initial form in the anime somewhat resembles a prism. When the sealed form transforms into its unsealed form, the prism-like form (which could be part of the inspiration for "color" in its name) first breaks apart; the broken pieces then destroy themselves and form into this monster's unsealed form from the mask like face outward.
- The number 16 is shown on the right side of what could be described as the waist of this monster.
