By the time of the third season, Zane's personality appears to take on a mix of both his former attitudes. While he still Duels much more aggressively and with more passion than in the first season, Zane also appears capable of respecting his opponents again, and doesn't act so dark and needlessly cruel. His Deck changes as well; while he still uses the "[[Cyberdark]]" series, he uses his normal "[[Cyber Dragon (archetype)|Cyber Dragon]]s" again, even bringing out "[[Cyber End Dragon (anime)|Cyber End Dragon]]" more often than "[[Cyberdark Dragon (anime)|Cyberdark Dragon]]" and utilizing the former where the latter has failed.
It was originally believed to be the electrodes that were the cause of Zane's heart problems but it was later revealed the cause of his heart problems was the use of his "Cyberdark" Deck; the cards' desire to win at all costs were what inflicted the damage to his heart (in the original, Judai also mentions a wide variety of reasons why the cards might do so). Because of his ill condition, it led him to change his attitude again.
Following his revival in the fourth season, Zane has become quiet and reserved, losing most of the negative aspects of his personality that he developed in the second season. Though of the opinion that he had his best final Duel against [[Yubel (character)|Yubel]], his Deck wants to keep fighting regardless of Zane himself. Despite this, Zane still attempts to Duel [[Makoto Inotsume]]. He later decides to start Dueling again with a new, evolving Deck, and demonstrates pride in [[Syrus Truesdale|his brother]], believing him to have surpassed him.
