==Biography==
===History===
Thunder Spark is a kind of artificial human created by [[Dr. Faker (manga)|Dr. Faker]] from electron drips.<ref name="rank15">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|15|ref}}</ref> Faker gave him a soul,<ref name="rank18">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|18|ref}}</ref> and made him work under [[Mr. Heartland (manga)|Mr. Heartland]].

When Thunder Spark touches someone, he electrifies them. This made him always unable to shake the children who visited the park's hand, despite his will to do so.<ref name="rank15">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|15|ref}}</ref>

===Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL===
[[File:Four assasins.png|thumb|Spark with [[Captain Corn]] and [[Cologne]].]]
Thunder Spark is first introduced together with [[Captain Corn]] and [[Cologne]], as the Theme Park's "guardians of peace and justice".<ref name="rank10">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|10|ref}}</ref> He uses his riding attraction "[[Speed Field]]" to attract [[Numbers Holder]]s, and then Duels them in a "[[Speed Duel (ZEXAL)|Speed Duel]]" to obtain the "[[Numbers]]".

[[File:Spark shakes hands with Yuma.jpg|thumb|left|Spark shakes hands with Yuma, electrifying him.]]
After Captain Corn's loss to [[Yuma Tsukumo (manga)|Yuma Tsukumo]], Mr. Heartland sends Spark to defeat him. Spark then challenges Yuma to a "[[Speed Duel (ZEXAL)|Speed Duel]]".<ref name="rank13">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|13|ref}}</ref> Spark began overpowering Yuma with his "Number", but Yuma manages to win by using the "Number" he got from Captain Corn, "[[No. 50: Black Ship of Corn (manga)|No. 50: Black Ship of Corn]]". 

After Thunder Spark is defeated, Yuma thanks [[Astral (manga)|Astral]], and they try to shake hands, but Astral's hand goes directly through Yuma's, and they just laugh on that. Yuma then goes to where Spark is, with Spark praising Yuma for the Duel. Spark explains that he was born from an electron, and was about to retake that shape, so he asks Yuma his last request - he wants to shake Yuma's hand. Yuma is suprised by how simple his request is an accepts, but gets electrocuted with Spark's touch. Spark explains that at Heartland, lots of children wnted to shake his hand, but he was never able to oblige them. Spark then starts to disappear, going back to his original form, as he says to himself "so this is human warmth...". Spark then vanishes, thanking Yuma and leaving his "Number" behind. Astral says that Thunder Spark must have been a lonely fellow Duelist, while Yuma takes his "Number", saying that he will take good care of it.<ref name="rank15"></ref>

It is later revealed that when Dr. Faker "created" Captain Corn, Thunder Spark and Cologne, he gave them souls. However, if they failed at their tasks, their souls would leave them, making them return to their original form.<ref name="rank18"></ref> Apparently, this was what happened to Spark - when he lost to Yuma, he failed at his mission, becoming electrons again.

Yuma then goes to where Spark is, when Spark asks Yuma to shake hands, as he "did" with Astral. Yuma accepts it, but gets electrocuted with Spark's touch. Spark explains he could never shake hands with anyone, because he wasn't a human, and would electrify anyone he touched. However, happy for being able to touch a person, Spark now says his last words to Yuma, and quietly disappears in peace, passing his "Number" to Yuma. Yuma and Astral take the "Number", as they lament Spark's "death".<ref name="rank15"></ref>
