'''Reginald Kastle''', known as '''Ryoga Kamishiro''' in the manga and Japanese version and nicknamed '''"Shark"''' in all versions, is one of the main characters in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]''. He is one of [[Yuma Tsukumo]]'s close friends and rivals. He was originally an arrogant and callous person, but has grown quite humble.
 
 
 
==Design==
 
===Appearance===
 
[[File:Sharkfull.png|180px|thumb|left|Full body view of Shark.]]
 
Reginald has dark blue eyes, pale skin and dark purple hair, which resembles tentacles hanging down, referencing his [[Deck]] theme of aquatic creatures. His accessories include a grey, shark tooth-shaped pendant, and [[Kastle twins' rings|two grey rings]] on his right hand, but he later gives one to his sister, [[Rio Kastle]].<ref name="ep78" /> He also owns a grey and green [[Duel Gazer]] with a red lens and a yellow spike as well as a blue [[D-Pad]].
 
 
 
His attire includes a dark purple jacket over a maroon shirt and dark blue pants with white, green-gems shoes. When in his school attire, he wears a white shirt with green-lined sleeves, tie and a collar. During his [[National Duel Circuit]] days, Reginald wore a white top with a purple waist coat and his usual dark pants.
 
 
 
===Personality===
 
After being disqualified from the [[National Duel Circuit]], Shark became bitter and uncaring, the way he held himself at the beginning of the series. Cold and malicious, Shark flaunts his power by taking the Decks of the people he defeats, making them squirm in the process, such as when he defeated [[Bronk Stone]].<ref name="ep1" /> When he becomes possessed by the "[[Number]]s", he becomes quite violent, destroying the scenery surrounding him throughout his first Duel against Yuma, and also defeating several Duelists brutally when he was briefly possessed by "[[Number 32: Shark Drake]].<ref name="ep2" />.<ref name="ep46">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|46|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
However, he does have some honor, as he returned Bronk's Deck upon losing to Yuma as he promised and keeping all the Decks he'd stolen from people completely intact.<ref name="ep2" /> His first defeat to Yuma have humbled him in a way that he is no longer overly cruel to people, as shown when he returns Yuma's [[Emperor's Key|pendant]] after winning an [[Ante Duel]] with it at stake.<ref name="ep10" /> He also seems to put more faith in bonds and friendship, shown by his willingness to form a team with Yuma during the [[Tag Duel]] with [[Scorch]] and [[Chills]]. He further entrusts Yuma with a card that would allow them to win the Duel.<ref name="ep12" /> Reginald also tries to rescue [[Emperor's Key]] from [[Kite Tenjo]] and [[Orbital 7]] when it is stolen, clearly stating that he sees Yuma as his friend. In the Duel with Kite, Shark remembers Yuma, and that Yuma would never give up.<ref name="ep24" />
 
 
 
Reginald can be classified as a typical loner, being indifferent and cool about most things, usually sporting a stoic face or scowl. He prefers to be alone and doesn't follow a crowd, as his encounters with Yuma and others are often brief before he walks off. He also has displayed little interest in school, having had stopped going to [[Heartland Academy]] after his loss to Yuma.<ref name="ep10" /> However, he still skipped class regardless when he decided to come back and would idly spend his time to the school's roof, but is said to be good at studying.<ref name="ep22" /> Despite Shark's aloof and cold nature, many students at school respect his Dueling skills and is secretly popular with female students.<ref name="ep50" /> Although, his sister mentions that he is still feared and unliked by some students.<ref name="ep79">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|79|ref}}</ref> Reginald is shown to have a soft side, but has only shown it to two people - his sister and Yuma. Regardless of this, he can be insensitive and callous to both, causing fighting and arguing between them.
 
 
 
Reginald's friendship with [[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]] has also helped him in handling the "Numbers" cards. When "[[Number 17: Leviathan Dragon]]" came in contact with him, it easily took hold of him.<ref name="ep1" /> However, he was able to fight off the influence of "[[Number 32: Shark Drake]]" because of his bond with Yuma, making him the first known person to be able to resist the influence of the "Numbers" without a special item or power. Despite being able to initially resist the influence, [[Vetrix]] said that it did infect him and it will amplify his darkness caused by his desire to take revenge against [[Quattro]].<ref name="ep33" /> However, after a Duel with Yuma, and seeing his bumbling antics, the darkness had disappeared.<ref name="ep46" />
 
 
 
===Abilities===
 
After the Duel against [[Vector]], Shark gained the ability to see [[Astral]].<ref name="ep72">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|72|ref}}</ref> Shark also merges his soul with his "[[Number]]", gaining the ability to perform [[Chaos Xyz Evolution]] with "[[Number 32: Shark Drake]]", acquiring a purple aura while doing so.<ref name="ep58">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|58|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep70">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|70|ref}}</ref> He is also able to resist the "Numbers" influence after repeated exposure, no longer feeling the effects even from a "[[Number C32: Shark Drake Veiss|Chaos Number]]".<ref name="ep75">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

==Anime biography==
 
===History===
 
[[File:Ryoga & Rio.png|left|200px|thumb|Reginald and Rio in their past lives.]]
 
Reginald was the once the ruler of a kingdom alongside his sister, [[Rio Kastle|Rio]] and was well-loved by his people. One day, his kingdom was attacked by [[Vector]], who led a fleet of ships and several "[[Gorgonic Guardian]]s" to lay waste to it and loot it.<ref name="ep108">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|108|ref}}</ref> He and his sister were both eventually reincarnated.
 
 
 
[[File:YoungKastleTwins.png|thumb|200px|right|Reginald and Rio as children.]]
 
As children, Reginald and Rio visited a theme park. While there, Rio obtained [[Kastle twins' rings|a pair of matching rings]] they could wear together. Reginald refused her offer to wear one, and she walked off in anger, calling him an "idiot" and tossing the rings to the ground.<ref name="ep78">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|78|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
[[File:Reginald surrounded by the pressure of his fans.png|thumb|left|Reginald surrounded by pressure.]]
 
Years later, Rio was critically injured in a fire, while Reginald became a well-known and popular Duelist within the [[National Duel Circuit]]. After making it to the final round, the pressure got to Reginald's head, causing him to become desperate because he wanted to win to support Rio.<ref name="ep26">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|26|ref}}</ref> By this point, he began wearing both of the rings that Rio had obtained when they were children, in order to remind him of their bond.<ref name="ep78" /> While preparing for the finals in the waiting room, he noticed that his opponent, [[Quattro]] left and dropped his Deck. While not intentional, Reginald's desperation got the better of him and ultimately looked at the visible cards on the floor. Midway through his Duel, while neither Duelist had a visible advantage, Reginald was disqualified and the match canceled, as he was found out to have looked at his opponent's cards. This also caused him to be permanently banned from the Duel Circuit.<ref name="ep12">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|12|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
[[File:Reginald gets banned from the National Circuit.png|thumb|right|Reginald gets banned before he makes his winning move.]]
 
 
 
After this ban, Reginald turned into a delinquent and began to steal the Decks of his opponents once he beat them. It is known by most students within [[Heartland Academy]] that Reginald was not only a skilled Duelist, but also a bully.<ref name="ep1">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|1|ref}}</ref> He obtained the nickname "Shark", due to the fact that he used an ocean-themed Deck and because he ripped his opponents' Decks out of their hands swiftly and with malice. Despite Reginald's actions, [[Yuma Tsukumo]] defended him, as he believes that everyone has done something in their past which they regret.<ref name="ep12">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|12|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
===Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL===
 
====Pre-World Duel Carnival====
 
[[File:Shark and Bronk.png|thumb|left|A defeated Bronk is helpless against Shark.]]
 
Shark defeated opponents at his school, taking their Decks after they lost. After defeating [[Bronk Stone]], he met [[Yuma Tsukumo]], who attempted to defend Bronk. When asked what his most important thing was, Yuma told him it was his [[Emperor's Key|pendant]]. Shark ripped the pendent from his neck and threw it away. Shark challenged him to a match, with both Yuma's and Bronk's Decks on the line. Yuma accepted.<ref name="ep1">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|1|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
[[File:ReginaldvsYuma.png|thumb|right|Shark begins his fated Duel with Yuma.]]
 
 
 
They Dueled in the city square, with Shark quickly gaining an advantage with "[[Big Jaws]]" and "[[Aqua Jet]]". He cornered Yuma, but then the "[[Number]]s" were released from [[the door]]. Shark was possessed by "[[Number 17: Leviathan Dragon]]", which he proceeded to [[Xyz Summon]].<ref name="ep1" /> As the Duel progressed, Shark began to toy with Yuma, taking his [[Life Points]] down to a small fraction. However, Yuma managed to come out of this with the help of [[Astral]], and managed to defeat Shark with his "[[Number 39: Utopia]]" at 5000 [[ATK]], which knocked Shark out. When Shark awoke, he gave Yuma Bronk's Deck, keeping his promise. Shark said that Yuma was different than everyone that he has faced before and walked off without another word (in the dub, Shark says "You may have a point till then, Yuma").<ref name="ep2">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|2|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
[[File:Yuma loses to Reginald.png|thumb|left|Shark defeats [[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]] without taking any damage.]]
 
Sometime after the Duel, words of Shark's defeat spread around school and his reputation dropped. Eventually, he stopped going to school and also quit Dueling, and was taken in by a gang led by [[Scorch]] and [[Chills]], who hung out at an [[Heartland Arcade|abandoned arcade]]. One night, Shark was riding on his motorcycle, and stopped after seeing Yuma, staring at him before riding off.<ref name="ep8">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|8|ref}}</ref> One day, while Yuma was late to school, Shark drove across a road on his motorcycle and nearly hit Yuma. After Yuma is belittled by his friends who believe that his victories over Shark and [[Flip Turner|Flip]] were just because of his "[[Number]]s", he decided to find Shark and challenge him to a rematch, without using the help of [[Astral]] or his Numbers. When Scorch and Chills nearly hurt Yuma and his friends, but Shark told them to stop by saying he knows them. After the gang let Yuma go, he challenged Shark, he refused to Duel as his previous loss to Yuma caused him to give up Dueling. Yuma proceeded to chase Shark and annoy him by requesting a Duel until he accepted, Yuma bet [[Emperor's Key]] on the result. Yuma did not use his "Numbers" and Shark told him to do so, believing a victory over Yuma without "Numbers" would be meaningless. Yuma Summoned "Utopia", which Shark weakened with "[[Friller Rabca]]". This let "[[Black Ray Lancer]]" [[negate]] its effects and destroy it, which impressed Astral. Shark won with a [[direct attack]] from "[[Submersible Carrier Aero Shark]]". Shark took the Emperor's Key, but threw it on the ground as he walked off after he remember what Yuma said about being friends. Before driving away, Shark told Yuma that Scorch and Chills gives him a place to belong and told him not be bother him again.<ref name="ep10">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|10|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
[[File:Shark and his Motorcycle.jpg|thumb|300px|right|Shark telling Yuma not to get involved with him.]]
 
Shark soon overheard Scorch and Chills' plot of raiding the Heartland museum in hope of trying to steal a valuable Deck containing "[[Chaos End Ruler -Ruler of the Beginning and the End-]]". He also shocked to discovered that both thugs were possessed by "Numbers". When Chills and Scorch found Shark listening on their plan, he was forced to go along with them, even though he knew this plan was dangerous. Before going, he tells another gang member, [[Weasel]], to run so he doesn't become involved in the dangerous raid, but Weasel went and warned Yuma of the situation instead. Upon arriving at the museum, they found Yuma standing in their way, not allowing them to pass without beating him in a Duel first. He was shocked when Yuma bet his "Number 39: Utopia" on the Duel. Shark warned Yuma not to be concerned for him, but Yuma said he won't leave him alone to rob the Deck. Yuma also pointed out that Scorch and Chills were using him, and that their hideout is not a place for him and insisted that he and Shark were comrades. Shark then decided to Duel with Yuma against Scorch and Chills in a 2-on-2 [[Tag Duel]]. On his first move, he Xyz Summoned "Submersible Carrier Aero Shark" and managed to deal [[effect damage]] to Scorch. Scorch Xyz Summoned "[[Number 61: Volcasaurus]]" and [[activate]]d its effect, which destroyed "Submersible Carrier Aero Shark" and dealt Shark damage equal to the ATK of "Aero Shark".<ref name="ep11">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|11|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
[[File:8 - Yuma and Shark's victory.png|thumb|left|Shark and Yuma win.]]
 
 
 
Having all their moves countered and with the appearance of "[[Number 19: Freezadon]]", which gave "Volcasaurus" its [[Xyz Material|Overlay Units]] back, Shark and Yuma were pushed into a corner. After Summoning "Utopia" and having it rendered unable to attack by Chills' "[[Avalanche]]", Yuma used its effect to protect Shark from attacks which would have caused Shark to lose. After having "Utopia" and the newly Summoned "Black Ray Lancer" destroyed by "Volcasaurus" (avoiding losing by "[[Damage Diet]]"), Shark narrowly avoids losing from a direct attack by using the trap "[[Final Offering]]", ending the [[Battle Phase]] and giving Yuma "[[Armored Xyz]]". After eliminating Chills by forcing him to use his "[[Compensation Exchange]]" Trap, which saved "Volcasaurus" by taking damage equal to its ATK, Yuma used "[[Monster Reborn]]" to bring back Shark's "Black Ray Lancer" and equip it with the "Armored Xyz" Shark had entrusted to him earlier. It allowed him to give "Lancer" the properties of "Utopia", letting it destroy "Volcasaurus" and attack directly for the win. Afterwards, Shark commented that his card was able to improve Yuma's game, allowing him to keep it before smiling and walking off.<ref name="ep12">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|12|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
[[File:Shark_dodges_Orbtal_7's_drill.png|thumb|right|[[Shark]] dodges Orbital 7's drill.]]
 
 
 
When [[Tori Meadows|Tori]] was trying to ask people about the "Number" cards, she ran into Shark, who told her that she should not get involved with those cards and that they are things that neither of them should understand in detail.<ref name="ep17">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|17|ref}}</ref> One day at school, Shark saw [[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]] running through the hallways and was amused by it, commenting how "hot headed" he is. [[Mr. Kay]] appeared in front of him, expressing his relief Shark returns to school. He shrugged him off and started to walk away, but stopped after he mentioned how much Shark changed after meeting Yuma. Shark listened to Mr. Kay describing Yuma's "sun-like" power, but keeps his cool when asked his opinion and walks away. On the roof, Shark pondered what Mr. Kay said about Yuma, causing him to smile. Seeing [[Orbital 7]] under a trash can moving underneath him and follow it to the boys' locker room in the gym. Shark witness Orbital 7 attempted to steal the [[Emperor's Key]], but he retrieved it and was chased around the school by the robot.
 
 
 
[[File:SharkVSKite.jpg|thumb|left|Shark vs. Kite.]]
 
 
 
Just when Orbital 7 was about to kill him with a drill, [[Kite Tenjo]] stepped in and called a halt. Shark and Kite both chatted a little about their connection to Yuma, and Shark refused to give Yuma's key to him. After hearing Kite mention the "[[Numbers]]" cards, Shark realized he is the "Number Hunter" and then lied to Kite about having a "[[Number]]" card, then a Duel is started over the possession over [[Emperor's Key]]. Shark was confident about his Deck's new Anti-"Numbers" strategy, which proved effective against Yuma. However, he still wanted to have a "Number", so he planned to steal Kite's "Numbers", but Kite noticed it and used "[[Number 30: Acid Golem of Destruction]]" so that its negative effects damage Shark when he steals it. Shark remembered that Yuma would never give up, grasped the key and continued the Duel. When Shark lost, he apologized to Yuma being that he failed to protect the [[Emperor's Key]]. Shark's soul was taken by [[Photon Hand]], causing him to he age considerably and become comatose. However, Kite was surprised that the soul didn't possess a "Number" card, but still took his soul when Yuma arrived.<ref name="ep22">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|22|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
[[File:Shark without his soul.png|200px|thumb|right|Shark's soulless body.]]
 
 
 
Shark was then maintained in the hospital, being look after by [[Mr. Kay]]. After [[Astral]] and Yuma [[draw]] with Kite in a Duel, he decided to release Shark's soul as he wasn't a "Number" holder. He awoke in the hospital afterwards and was told by Mr. Kay that Yuma saved him.<ref name="ep24">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|24|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
====World Duel Carnival Preliminaries====
 
[[File:Shark argue.png|thumb|left|Shark insulting [[Quattro]].]]
 
At the beginning of the [[World Duel Carnival]], he met Yuma, who was panicking because he didn't have a [[Heart Piece]]. When he was asked if he would be participating, Shark replied he didn't feel like it. When he drove down the road a bit further, he caught a thrown "[[Mirror Force]]" card, the card that Shark associated with his ban from the National Circuit, and it turned out to be [[Quattro]], his opponent in his last pro Duel. Quattro explained he purposely put his Deck where Shark could see it, to get him disqualified.<ref name="ep26" />
 
 
 
[[File:IV_provoking_Shark.png|thumb|right|[[Quattro]] provoking Shark.]]
 
 
 
Quattro also revealed that at that time Shark was not only affected by the pressure of the Finals, but also because of a promise he made to his sister who had an accident and was hospitalized, so he was easily tempted to look at Quattro's Deck,.Quattro also says that maybe his sister's accident was not really a coincidence. Infuriated, Shark demanded to Duel with him again, but Quattro told him to wait for the WDC and tossed him a Heart Piece before departing. Shark then decided to participate after all, to get his rematch with Quattro. He fell into Quattro's trap again as [[Vetrix]] told him to coerce Shark into participating in the carnival.<ref name="ep26" />
 
 
 
After [[Kari Tsukumo]] ordered Yuma to find [[Charlie McCay]], he overheard a crowd cheering. Knowing that it would be a Duel, Yuma ran over to see Shark defeat an unknown Duelist with "Submersible Carrier Aero Shark". After the Duel, Yuma congratulated Shark and asked him why he had decided to enter the WDC. Shark told Yuma about how Quattro had mistreated his sister into the hospital to trick him into being kicked out of the nationals, and now he wants a rematch with Quattro, but after that, he will quit the WDC. Shark then told Yuma not to get involved with him and then wandered off, vanishing from sight of Yuma and [[Tori Meadows|Tori]].<ref name="ep31">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|31|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
[[File:ZXx034 Shark faces Number 32.png|thumb|left|Shark facing "Number 32".]]
 
 
 
During the second day of the WDC, after Quattro defeated [[Bronk Stone|Bronk]] and [[Caswell]] in a [[Battle Royal]] Duel, Shark charged into the area on his motorbike, asking him if he remembered the face of his "Number one fan".<ref name="ep33">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|33|ref}}</ref> Quattro agreed to Duel Shark, but [[Trey]] snared Shark with his [[Duel Anchor]], preventing the Duel and saying that [[Vetrix]]'s orders are absolute. Quattro left in a cloud of dust. In the proceeding Duel, Shark takes control of Trey's "Number" monster, "[[Number 32: Shark Drake]]". The "Number" pierced his claws into Shark's chest, but Shark's strong will and connection to Yuma overcame the power of the "Number" and he used it to defeat Trey. Trey told him to keep the card and gave him a Heart Piece, revealing that he himself already had a completed heart. When Shark was about to leave, he once again told Yuma not be get involved with him and rode off. Although he was able to withstand the "Numbers" by remembering his time with Yuma, Shark still wanted his revenge against Quattro for his sister, which allowed "Shark Drake" to infect Shark with a small virus (blue in the dub) that will amplify that darkness even further. According to [[Vetrix]], this will help them with their plan to use Shark.<ref name="ep34">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|34|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
[[File:Shark_infected_with_Numbers_Power.png|thumb|right|Shark infected by "Number 32".]]
 
 
 
When Yuma, Tori, and Astral were looking for [[Hart Tenjo]], Shark saw them from the road above them and stopped. He overheard Yuma calling out for Kite with his [[D-Gazer]], leaving him wondering about situation.<ref name="ep41">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|41|ref}}</ref> During the third day of the WDC, Shark continued to collect Heart Pieces and brutally defeating many Duelists as the power of "Number 32" began to exert its influence on him, fueling his desire for revenge even more. He was confronted by Yuma, who let Shark take his anger out on him in a Duel. Realizing this, Shark eventually came to his senses, with the darkness of the "Number" disappearing and cancelled the Duel. Before he walked off, he told Yuma that they would meet in the finals and gave him a smile.<ref name="ep46">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|46|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
====World Duel Carnival Finals====
 
[[File:IV and Ryoga on the coaster.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Quattro being followed by Shark on the Duel Coaster.]]
 
Shark attended the party that [[Mr. Heartland]] threw for the finalists, but he spent the entire time outside the building. He turned to leave when [[Quattro]] caught a glimpse of him through a window. Quattro ran to confront him, with Shark turning his back and telling Quattro he will gamble with everything he has in order to defeat him. After that, he left the party and rode off on his motorcycle.<ref name="ep50">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|50|ref}}</ref> The next day, the [[Duel Coaster]] began, and Shark easily defeated [[Green Coat Duelist|an opponent]] with "[[Jawsman]]" before seeing [[Quattro]] Dueling [[Mustached Duelist|another Duelist]] on a nearby track. Quattro told him that he was fighting magnificently, which Shark vowing not to let Quattro get away and chased after him after the latter defeated his own opponent.<ref name="ep51">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|51|ref}}</ref> The chase continued into the underground section of the Duel Coaster, with Shark and Quattro [[Sultan of Spells|both]] [[Conical Hat Duelist|defeating]] opponents and taunting one another. Quattro used Shark's anger against him by leading him toward the [[Duel Field|Magma Field]]. Since Shark's Deck was composed of [[WATER]] monsters, he would be at a disadvantage.<ref name="ep53">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|53|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
[[File:PreviewZEXAL57.png|thumb|200px|right|Shark vs. Quattro.]]
 
 
 
Shark was prepared to counter the field, "[[Magma Field]]", using cards such as "[[Plate Salvage]]" and "[[Adapt to Adversity]]". He brought out "[[Submersible Carrier Aero Shark]]" on his first turn, inflicting 1200 [[effect damage|damage]] to Quattro before he takes his first turn. Quattro countered with "[[Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder]]", which Shark countered with "[[Number 32: Shark Drake]]". [[Vetrix]] appeared, revealing that he intended to use Shark as an assassin to defeat [[Dr. Faker]]. Shark insisted that won't happen, with Vetrix responding that he'll have no choice - he will become Vetrix's puppet. After Quattro managed to Summon "[[Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings]]" and using the effect of "[[String of Destiny]]", Quattro attacked Shark a total of eight times.<ref name="ep57">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|57|ref}}</ref> Quattro revealed that he had been manipulated by Vetrix and that Shark's sister was hospitalized as a result of a fire caused by "[[Flaming Hell Blessing]]". [[File:Shark's New Power.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Shark gives in to the power of the "Number".]]Shark told him not to act like he was the victim, even if he was used by Vetrix, Quattro was still responsible. Quattro Summoned "[[Number 88: Gimmick Puppet of Leo]]", which would let him declare an [[Automatic Win]] on his next turn. Vetrix advised Shark to accept "Shark Drake" in order to win and have his revenge. After some resistance, Shark gave in to and was able to create "[[Number C32: Shark Drake Veiss]]" as a result. He defeated Quattro, with Vetrix musing that now he and Shark are friends, mocking Yuma's spirit of "[[kattobingu]]". Quattro apologized for hurting his sister and urged Shark to defeat his [[Vetrix|father]] and save him. Quattro also added that if Shark wanted to hate someone, he should hate Quattro, not Vetrix. Shark watched as Quattro departed through a portal and talked with Yuma. Now wanting revenge against Vetrix as well, Shark told Yuma he would not forgive him if he got in the way. He boarded his Duel Coaster and moved on, having advanced to the semi-finals.<ref name="ep58">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|58|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
[[File:TronSharkhandface.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Vetrix makes Shark his assassin (this scene is cut from the dub).]]
 
 
 
After defeating Quattro, Shark exited the area on his motorbike, thinking about what Quattro had told him. While driving down a desolate road, he called out for Vetrix so that he could get his revenge (this scene is cut from the dub). Vetrix appeared, right in front of Shark's path, which Shark tried to stop his bike, but failed to do so. Thinking he ran Vetrix over, he got off of his bike to look, but it was merely a hologram. He then spotted another hologram of Vetrix and followed it until he was lead into an abandoned warehouse. Vetrix sneaked up behind Shark and put his hands over his eyes; using his crest's power to put him in a trance. Vetrix then put his hand into Shark's head to gain control of his mind for the upcoming Duel with Yuma.<ref name="ep60">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|60|ref}}</ref> He also gave Shark a powerful Trap Card called "[[Heraldry Catastrophe]]" to use in the Duel.<ref name="ep62">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|62|ref}}</ref>

Shark turned up for the finals at the [[Duel Tower (ZEXAL)|Duel Tower]] for his Duel against Yuma, but, because of Vetrix's powers, Shark was emotionless. This affected his Dueling as Yuma was able to gain a massive advantage over him by his second turn. However, this was short-lived as Vetrix then began to show Shark visions of Yuma and [[Dr. Faker]] causing his sister, Rio to be hospitalized. With a dark revenge in his heart, Shark began to relentlessly attack Yuma with his "[[Spear Shark]]" and "[[Double Shark]]" in combination with "[[Zeus Breath]]", dropping Yuma's Life Points in an instant. He then managed to Summon "Number 32: Shark Drake", cornering Yuma further while the power of Vetrix's [[crest]] glowed on Shark's hand.<ref name="ep61">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|61|ref}}</ref> At the climax of the Duel, Yuma took control of "Shark Drake Veiss", causing Vetrix to lose his hold on Shark. Vetrix was about to establish the same control over Yuma, but Shark came to his senses before it could fully happen. Vetrix appeared before Shark and tried to convince him to save Yuma by using his Set "Heraldry Catastrophe", but Shark refused to submit to Vetrix again, and instead used  "[[Underwater Snow Prison]]" to banish "Shark Drake Veiss" at the cost of the remainder of his Life Points, conceding victory to Yuma. Afterwards, Shark thanked Yuma for rescuing him and encouraged him to defeat Vetrix. Due to his injuries, Shark is then carried away via helicopter to be treated.<ref name="ep62"/> During Kite's Duel with Vetrix, the latter revealed that Shark was merely a pawn alongside his progeny and [[Dextra]] in order to bolster his "[[Number 69: Heraldry Crest]]" with rage and hatred as he had no emotions to spare.<ref name="e64">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Near the end of Yuma's Duel with Vetrix, Shark awoke, witnessing the [[Sphere Field]] through the window of the hospital. He watched the remainder of the Duel with Vetrix on television, worrying about Yuma. After it ended, he escaped the hospital and rushed to the stadium, witnessing the explosion of the [[Duel Tower (ZEXAL)|Duel Tower]] and the Sphere Field moving towards [[Heartland Tower]].<ref name="e67">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|67|ref}}</ref> Heading there, Shark encountered [[Tori Meadows|Tori]], [[Kite Tenjo|Kite]], and [[Orbital 7]]. He helped Kite escape from rubble that had fallen on him, and told them his reason for being here. After some arguing, the four agreed to work together and headed to the Sphere Field, but they are stopped by [[Mr. Heartland]], who deployed an army of [[litterbot]]s to stop them. After Orbital destroys a few, Shark, Kite and Tori wielded fallen litterbot weapons to destroy more of them. When [[Astral]] rescued Yuma from the Sphere Field and gave him "Utopia" and "Shark Drake", Yuma returns the latter card to Shark. The three Duelists confronted and challenged Dr. Faker, holding their [[signature card|ace cards]] high.<ref name="e68">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|68|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
[[File:Sharkcut.png|thumb|left|Shark's injury.]]
 
As the Duel with Faker began, Shark began to bleed from his stomach from when a litterbot slashed him with it's scythe. He however continued on, managing to Xyz Summon "Shark Drake" as well as protect Yuma's "Utopia" via the [[Equip Spell Card]], "[[Shield Fin]]". This strategy enabled the three to inflict 5600 damage to Dr. Faker despite the effects of Faker's "[[Number 53: Heart-eartH]]". However, Kite mocked Shark for carelessly attacking Dr. Faker without thinking of the consequences, as he received 1400 [[effect damage]] from attacking with "Shark Drake". When they thought Kite had defeated Dr. Faker, Shark was shocked to see Dr. Faker had Summoned another "Number" in place of "Heart-eartH".<ref name="e69">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|69|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
As the Duel continued, Faker's new "Number", "[[Number 92: Heart-eartH Dragon]]" continued to torment the trio, even banishing Yuma's "[[Number C39: Utopia Ray]]". When it comes to Shark's turn, Dr. Faker avoids losing via a direct attack from "Shark Drake Veiss" through the "[[Fake Life]]". After Shark ends his turn, he falls to the floor in pain as the injury he sustained was worsening. As Kite began his turn, Faker's "Number" banished Shark's "Shark Drake Veiss" and Set card, but while they were being banished, Shark laughed, which shocked Faker. This was because he tricked Faker as his Set card was "[[Xyz Dimension Splash]]", which allowed him to Summon two "[[Hyper-Ancient Shark Megalodon]]" from his Deck. He then allowed Kite to use them as Overlay Units to Xyz Summon "[[Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon]]" which reduced Dr. Faker down to 150 Life Points. After the attack, Dr. Faker came clean about his actions and why he committed them. After revealing that [[Vector]] was the one which ordered him to do such things in order to save Hart, Yuma, Kite and Shark decided to go after Vector. However, at this moment, Vector emerged from a portal and possessed Dr. Faker, continuing the Duel by resurrecting "Heart-eartH Dragon".<ref name="e70">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|70|ref}}</ref>

When Hart freed Astral, letting him and Yuma [[ZEXAL (power)|merge]], Shark's "Shark Drake Veiss" was used to boost Yuma's "Utopia Ray" and help defeat Vector. When Sphere Field Cannon began to explode, Shark pushed Yuma out of the way of a piece of falling rubble, injuring himself further. Orbital 7 was reactivated and got Hart, Shark and Tori out of the place. After Yuma and the others reemerge, Shark is taken to the hospital in a helicopter piloted by [[Nistro]], while [[Dextra]] administered first aide.<ref name="ep71">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

One day after school, Shark went to visit Rio in the hospital, but ran into Yuma on the way, who suggested they Duel. Shark apologizes and declines Yuma because told him he had to go see Rio, then he sensed the arrival of [[Gilag]]. Getting an urgent call from the hospital about Rio, Shark rushed there with Yuma and Tori to find Rio crying out in pain. The doctor told Shark that Rio's condition had worsened thirty minutes prior. Rio claimed that disaster was coming and that "they" were coming to take the most important thing, though Shark was confused who are "they". Yuma was called away to save his friends from [[Fuma]], Shark attempted to follow, but Rio clutched his hand and stopped him.<ref name="ep74">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|74|ref}}</ref> Later, Shark eventually left the hospital and intercepted part of Fuma's gang, while Kite intercepted another part of it. The two defeated all of them and then arrived at [[Heartland Academy]] to inform Fuma of his gang's failure and give his support to Yuma to battle against the [[Barian World]].<ref name="ep75">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

[[File:Shark Carries Rio.png|thumb|right|200px|Shark carries Rio away.]]
 
While leaving school, Shark was approached by [[Chitaro Ariga]], the founder of the [[Manga Research Club]], who wish to used him as model for his manga. He showed Shark his hero character designs that he had based off of Shark, but Shark shrugged him off. When visiting Rio, he gave her one of the rings from their childhood, unknown that Chitaro was spying on him. When Shark heard that Rio's operation was successful, he went to get her when she was discharged, but was met by Chitaro again. Chitaro informed him that he had his sister and that they would have to Duel. Unbeknownst to Shark, Chitaro was working for the Barian World, having become [[Gilag]]'s most recent pawn. When Shark attempted to counter one of Chitaro's moves with "[[Zeus' Breath]]", Chitaro threatened Rio and Shark chose not to activate his card. Wanting to face a "[[Number]]", Chitaro gave Shark the components he needed to Summon "Shark Drake", which Shark did. Chitaro countered this by [[Rank-Up|Ranking Up]] his "[[Comics Hero King Arthur]]" into "[[CXyz Comics Hero Legend Arthur]]". As Shark remembered the rings from his sister, the power of their bond shattered the Barian's magic and Rio was freed. The bandages flew off of her face and she insulted Shark's Dueling skills as soon as she opened her eyes, to his irritation. Now able to Duel at his best, Shark defeated Chitaro with "[[Number C32: Shark Drake Veiss]]". Shark then reunited with his sister and carried her away. Later at school, Shark was shown a samurai-drawing of himself by Chitaro, but he still displayed little interest in it and walked off.<ref name="ep78">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|78|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
[[File:WaryShark.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Shark, wary that his sister is returning to school.]]
 
As Rio began to return to school, Shark left their house without her and rushed to school. Despite trying to remain unseen, he met up with Yuma, who asked him what's wrong. Shark began to explain what was wrong, but was interrupted by Rio's arrival, with her calling him mean for leaving without her. Later, Shark ate lunch with Rio, Yuma, and his friends atop of a roof, although Shark sat apart from the group. When Rio started to talk about him, Shark cut her off and yelled at her, but stopped once Rio glared at him. After seeing a group of boys and [[Bronk Stone|Bronk]] smitten with Rio, Shark warned them that Rio is an "ice woman" and they will find out what he means soon. Later, Shark secretly watched Rio Duel against [[Aika Hanazoe]] and goes to her after she wins, calling her Duel "so-so" and asked if she needs any advice from him. While walking home, Shark talks with Yuma about Rio, and then teased her that she hid behind him when she got frightened by a cat, resulting in Rio calling him a "meanie".<ref name="ep79">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|79|ref}}</ref> When Yuma held a "Sports Duel Tournament" as way for his friends and Rio to stop fighting with each other, Shark was somehow dragged into it as well, and reluctantly participated in it. He was paired up with Yuma, and was able to put their team in the lead with his skills in Dueling and sports. However, Shark leaves to go home before he and Yuma could face [[Tori Meadows|Tori]] and [[Cathy Katherine|Cathy]] in the final Duel, leaving Rio and [[Caswell]] to explain his unwillingness to be in the tournament any longer.<ref name="ep81">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|81|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
Later, Shark went to the mall with Rio so she could go shopping, but waited for her outside by his bike. When Rio came out, she suddenly entered a trance and talked about a fearsome dragon coming to Earth to destroy the "most important things", which Shark knew to mean the [[Barian]]s' involvement.<ref name="ep82">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|82|ref}}</ref> Driving through the woods, Shark and his sister arrived to see Yuma Dueling against [[Mizael]], and watched as Yuma become greatly injured and couldn't continue. Shark initially wanted to take Yuma's place in the Duel, but [[Kite Tenjo|Kite]] took Yuma's place instead, so Shark watched the Duel with the others and was greatly shocked by Mizael's true power. When the [[Barian's Sphere Cube]] disintegrated, Shark attempted to catch a falling Yuma, but end up falling off a cliff along with him.<ref name="ep83">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|83|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
[[File:Shark'ssmile.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Shark smiles as Yuma defeats him.]]
 
Shark and Yuma survived the fall, but they were heavily injured and were sent to hospital, with Shark spending most of his time reading. While recuperating, Shark observed a depressed Yuma and became irritated by his behavior, even yelling at him one at night when he was having a nightmare. When Yuma was out of their shared room, he noticed the [[Emperor's Key]] on Yuma's bed and decided to steal it to lure Yuma into a Duel to help him regain his will. Shark immediately brought out "[[Submersible Carrier Aero Shark]]" and "[[Black Ray Lancer]]", but Yuma responded with defensive plays, angering him. Shark Summoned "[[Shark Fortress]]" and broke through Yuma's defenses, nearly winning. Eventually, Astral appeared to help Yuma out his depression and turned the Duel around, making Shark smiled and graciously lose the Duel to Yuma. Astral pointed out that Shark's reason for doing all that was to help Yuma, though Shark denied it and pushed Yuma away when the latter tried to hug him.<ref name="ep84">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Once he was discharged from the hospital, Shark went to school and heard Rio sensing a Barian presence again and the two rushed to aide Yuma alongside Tori. They found him surrounded by brainwashed Duelists and helped him Duel his way out until [[Alit]] arrived and ended the [[Battle Royal]]. Afterwards, they watched Yuma begin a Duel with Alit within another Sphere Cube.<ref name="ep85">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|85|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep86">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

He also added that Bronk wasn't even at Yuma's level, causing Bronk to jump to the conclusion that Rio was with Yuma. Flip and Caswell overheard this and spread a rumor around the school. Oblivious to the rumor, Shark was challenged by an angry Rio to a Duel and accepts after she insulted him. During the Duel, Shark was able to counter every strategy Rio played and voiced little faith in Rio's confidence as a Duelist. While Shark was proud that Rio was able to gain courage, he proclaimed that she still has a long way to go if she wanted to beat him and defeated Rio with his "[[Shark Kaizer]]". Afterwards, Shark learned the rumor from Rio and cleared up the misunderstanding, clarifying that he wasn't the one spreading the rumor.<ref name="ep91">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|91|ref}}</ref>

During [[Heartland Academy]]'s Cultural Festival, Shark observed the play Rio was acting in and displayed irritation watching her with [[Yata-Garasu (character)|Yata-Garasu]]. When Bronk came to him, Shark was shocked by his cosplay as "[[Gogogo Golem]]" and grew annoyed that he was calling Shark "brother". Shark's irritation prompted Rio to throw her shoe at Shark and telling him to be quiet or leave. Later, Shark took part in the festival by playing bass guitar alongside his fellow students for the famous singer, [[Sanagi Chouno]], much to the excitement of his female admirers.<ref name="ep92">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

After [[Rei Shingetsu]] was kidnapped by [[Vector]], Shark rushed to Yuma's location and watched his conversation with Kite. Inside [[Heartland Tower]], Shark heard Yuma's explanation, and said that he wanted to go with him to save Rei and find Vector. Shark then bickered with Kite about how to get to the Barian World when the tower shook. They ran to the top to see that the [[Different Dimension Airship]] from the [[Emperor's Key]] had crushed the top of the tower and was resting there. Astral told them that they could use the ship to get to the [[Barian World]]. Later, Shark spoke with Rio about his mission with his friends, and was forced to take Rio along when she wanted to go with him. In the morning, Shark and the group entered the ship and took off, but an array of monsters began assaulting the ship. Shark and the others went to the exterior, using their ace monsters to battle with them until a portal sucked them in. [[File:Shark_vs._Durbe.png|thumb|right|Shark vs. Durbe]] At the "[[D.D. Ancient Battlefield - Sargasso]]", Shark watched Vector taunting a devastated Yuma with Rei's seemingly dead body, when [[Durbe]] challenged him to a Duel.

As the Duel continued, Shark Summoned "[[Number C32: Shark Drake Veiss]]", but his Life Points whittle down to 900 due "Sargasso" effect. When Yuma was blaming himself for putting his friends in danger, Shark told Yuma that he came on his own will and encouraged him to win his Duel, but was stunned when Yuma and Astral transformed into [[ZEXAL (power)#Dark ZEXAL|Dark ZEXAL]].<ref name="ep97">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

====Legendary Number War====
 
Later at school, Shark was skipping class when he felt a strong presence of [[Don Thousand]] when he was revived by Vector. On the roof, Shark, Yuma, Tori and Rio were brought aboard the Different Dimension Airship by [[Astral]], who informed them of the seven Legendary "[[Numbers]]" scattered across the world. As they headed to their first location, they ended up crashing into Durbe and the ship landed them into a jungle. After Yuma saved a boy named [[Durbe|Nasch]] from a bear, Shark inquired who he is. He didn't believe the mysterious, injured boy "Nasch" was just a "traveler" and stated he might be a [[Barian]]. Shark told Yuma not to trust the boy so easily, but the conversation was cut off when the group hears [[Tori Meadows|Tori]]'s scream from some distance. They ran to a temple where she and Rio were, and had to get rid of the snakes surrounding them. As the group traveled further inside the temple, a trap activated and Shark almost got crushed under a wall, but Nasch saved him and they were separated from the others. When a door opened up, Shark and Nasch went down the pathway, leading them to an empty room. Shark thanked Nasch for saving him, but said he still doesn't trust him, though Nasch shrugged it off and said he did it in return for Yuma saving him. When the walls started to close in, they were captured and their lives depended on the outcome of Yuma's Duel with [[Mach]].<ref name="ep99">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Fallowing Astral's instructions, they tried to interpreted the legend of a hero and his pegasus to find a clue to help Yuma win the Duel. Shark suspicions of Nasch's identity deepens when he can translated the legend. When the floor collapsed, Shark was about fall into the hole, but Nasch was able to grasp his arm. When their hands touched, Shark began to glow and Nasch's [[Baria Lapis]] was repaired, revealing 'Nasch" to be Durbe. Although Durbe saved him, Shark urged Yuma not to trust Durbe and to destroy "[[Number 39: Utopia]]" instead of protecting it. Using Durbe's advice, Yuma was able to win the Duel and allowed a door to open for Shark to regroup with them.<ref name="ep100">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|100|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
Going to South America, Shark and the others arrived at an abandoned castle, and listen to Rio speak of legend about a ruthless prince. After Yuma accidentally triggered some traps, Shark and everyone else ended up inside the cages of the central colosseum. With [[Vector]] and [[Number 96: Dark Mist (character)|Number 96: Dark Mist]] focusing solely on Yuma and Astral, Shark was forced to watch Astral Duel Dark Mist and worried about Yuma, who has a giant pendulum axe aimed at him.<ref name="ep101">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

At night, Shark and the others were awoken by explosion coming from the ruins and rushed over there.

On the way to the next location, Shark spoke with Yuma about his daze and knew he was thinking about Alit. Shark told him that Alit's change in personality exposed his "true color" as a [[Barian]] and was annoyed by how Yuma still seemed so concerned about him. Upon arriving in an mountain range, Shark went with Yuma and Kite to climb a mountain to reach the ruins. As he was struggling to climb, Shark snapped at Yuma, who was giving them pointers to mountain-climbing, and told to shut his mouth. When they came to the [[Number's Ruins]], they met [[Jinlong]], a [[Number Guardian]]. Shark listened to Jinlong and [[Astral]]'s conversation about the person similar to Kite, which the former confirmed the person was named "[[Mizael]]". Astral revealed to Shark and the others that the Barians were humans once, but Shark found his statement ridiculous. Shark then watched Kite Duel against Jinlong along with Yuma and Astral.<ref name="ep105">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

They listened to Jinlong explaining that when people searching for "Numbers" come to the ruins, huge changes will occur in the world and about the "two lights" battling in the sky long ago.<ref name="ep106">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Sometime later, Yuma asked Shark what his reasons for fighting were. He replied that what the Barians had done to Rio was enough for him to seek revenge and it was only because [[Dr. Faker]] and [[Vetrix]] would no longer fight him that he let go of his grudge against them. Shortly thereafter, Rio vanished from the Different Dimension Airship. Shark witnessed her plunge into the water below and quickly followed, with Yuma and Astral close behind. They tracked her to a temple, where they were led through a maze. Separated from Yuma and Astral, Shark eventually reached the heart of the temple. There he found Rio, but she was not herself - she was possessed by a "Number" spirit" named [[Abyss (character)|Abyss]]. Abyss claimed he and Shark were destined to fight and urged him to "awaken", as he is the one who will inherit Abyss' powers. The two began a Duel, with Abyss gaining a significant advantage with "[[Gorgonic Guardian]]". Abyss used his powers to allow Shark access to his past life's memories and he recalled Vector's attack on his kingdom and expressed confusion over the whole situation.<ref name="ep108" />

Shark and [[Rio Kastle|Rio]] are twins and share a strong bond ever since they were children, symbolized by [[Kastle twins' rings|matching rings]] that Rio obtained.<ref name="ep78" /> Following Rio's Duel with [[Quattro]], in which she was critically injured and wound up in a hospital bed wrapped in bandages, Shark Dueled in the [[National Duel Circuit]] for her sake, but pressure was escalated to such an extent that he peeped at his opponent's Deck before the final match, an action that caused him to be disqualified and banned.<ref name="ep26" /> During the time Rio was in the hospital to recover from her injuries, Shark often visited her.<ref name="ep75" />
 
 
 
Despite their bond, Shark has a typical tenuous "brother-sister" relationship with Rio, irritating one another and having normal siblings squabbles.<ref name="ep78" /><ref name="ep79" /> They seem to settle any fighting by Dueling each other, having a total of one-hundred Duels.<ref name="ep91" />

In a twist of events, Shark crushed the [[Emperor's Key]] and accepted Yuma's challenge, becoming rivals with the young boy. With their Duel underway, Shark was overtaken by "[[Number 17: Leviathan Dragon]]" and quickly Summons it to put Yuma in his place. However, with the appearance of [[Astral]] and Yuma's new Xyz Monster, "[[Number 39: Utopia]]", Shark loses the Duel and his "[[Number]]".<ref name="ep1">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

ZEXAL|35|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
Throughout the [[World Duel Carnival]], their friendship becomes strained as Shark became focused on revenge on [[Quattro]] and continually told Yuma "Don't get involved with me" when they met.<ref name="ep31">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|31|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep34">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|34|ref}}</ref> When Yuma learns how violent Shark had become, Yuma challenged him to a Duel, in which Yuma made no move to attack, and let Shark take his anger out on him. He was angry at Yuma's persistence and the Number's influence causes him grow more aggressive. Eventually, Yuma tells Shark he doesn't want to see the way he is now, shocking him, and is followed by his stomach growling. As Shark watches Yuma and [[Tori Meadows|Tori]] shout at each other, he smiled and the darkness in his heart disappeared. Shark then cancelled the Duel, claiming that seeing Yuma being an "idiot" made him lose his drive. Before walking away, Shark tells Yuma that he would meet him in the finals and they exchanged smiles.<ref name="ep46">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|46|ref}}</ref>

In the semi finals, Yuma and Shark were matched-up to Duel each other, with Yuma eager to settle their rivalry. Unknown to Yuma, [[Vetrix]] was influencing Shark through the power of his [[crest]], but Yuma does notice how emotionless and different Shark is. During the Duel, Vetrix made Shark think Yuma was the one to hurt [[Rio Kastle|his sister]], which made Shark hate Yuma and attack him ruthlessly. Yuma tried to make Shark remember the times they Dueled together, how Shark tried protecting his [[Emperor's Key]] from Kite, and how much their bond means to him. Yuma also told Shark that his goal is to be Duel Champion and defeating Vetrix and [[Dr. Faker]] wasn't worth losing him. To return Shark to normal, Yuma took control of "[[Number C32: Shark Drake Veiss]]" and suffered while the "Number" tried to control him. Shark was able to regain his senses and begins to worry for Yuma. When deciding to save Shark or Astral, Yuma couldn't choose and said that Shark is a very important friend to him. To save Yuma, Shark got rid of his remaining [[Life Points]] to banish "Shark Drake" and give Yuma the victory. Afterwards, Shark told Yuma how during the Duel that he could hear Yuma's voice and thanked Yuma for saving him. Smiling, Shark then encourages Yuma to win and beat Vetrix, with Yuma promises to carry on his will.<ref name="ep62">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|62|ref}}</ref>
 
 
 
Later, when Shark awakes in the hospital and sees that Yuma's Dueling with Vetrix in the [[Sphere Field]], he begins to worry and rushes over to the [[Duel Coaster Stadium]], calling out Yuma's name as he goes.<ref name="ep67">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|67|ref}}</ref>He then enters [[Heartland Tower]] to save Yuma and puts himself in danger in the process, showing how much he cares for him. Shark was even willing to team up with Kite and [[Orbital 7]] to rescue Yuma, despite his hostility towards them. When Yuma challenges [[Dr. Faker]] to a Duel, Yuma gave back Shark "[[Number 32: Shark Drake]]", asking him to help him, and the latter joins Yuma with a smile.<ref name="ep68" /> During the Duel, Yuma and Shark supported each other well with their cards, as well as Shark teasing Yuma when he's getting doubts.<ref name="ep69">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|69|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep70" /> When the [[Heartland Tower]] started to crumble, a piece of concrete was about to hit Yuma before Shark pushes him out of the way to protect him, taking the hit instead.<ref name="ep71" />
 
 
 
When the [[Barian World]] began to target Yuma for the "Numbers", Shark worried for Yuma's well-being and chases after him when he goes to Duel [[Fuma]], even leaving his sister to go after him.<ref name="ep74" /> When talking to Rio, Yuma learned that Shark often talked about him to her, to his surprise. She told Yuma that she believed it's because of Yuma that her brother hadn't changed and thanked him for being a good influence on Shark. Also, Shark began to spend more time with Yuma as they started to walk home together after school.<ref name="ep79">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|79|ref}}</ref> When Yuma fell towards a cliff ledge, Shark once again put his life in danger to try to save Yuma from falling,.<ref name="ep83" /> Recuperating in the hospital, Shark was extremely upset how downhearted Yuma was acting and, in his typical gruff fashion, snapped at him. In order to get through to him, Shark swiped the [[Emperor's Key]] and lured Yuma into a Duel. With help from Astral, Yuma got his fighting spirit back, much to Shark's happiness. When Astral told Yuma what Shark's true purpose was, Shark denied it, but Yuma was greatly touched. Trying to show his gratitude, Yuma tried to give Shark a hug, only to be pushed away by him.<ref name="ep84" />
 
 
 
===Astral===
 
At first, Shark had no knowledge of [[Astral]], but Astral has respect for Shark's Dueling skills and the impact he has on Yuma.<ref name="ep10">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|10|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep11">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|11|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep12">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|12|ref}}</ref>. If Shark becomes possessed by a "[[Number]]" card, Astral and Yuma usually come into conflict with Shark and try to save him from the card's dark influence.<ref name="ep34">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|34|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep45">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|45|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep58">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|58|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep59">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

ZEXAL|62|ref}}</ref> <ref name="ep84">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

ZEXAL|72|ref}}</ref>, but they still have little contact with each other.
 
 
 
===Kite Tenjo===
 
Having heard about the "[[Number Hunter]]", Shark already knew [[Kite Tenjo|Kite]]'s reputation, but officially met him when he stopped [[Orbital 7]] from killing him and demanded that Shark hands over the [[Emperor's Key]]. Shark figured out that Kite was the "Number Hunter" and his intentions towards Yuma, then lied about having a "Number" card. This resulted to a Duel between them, where Kite easily defeated Shark, taking the key and the latter's soul.<ref name="ep22" /> Shark bared a grudge against Kite since then, and meeting again in [[Heartland Tower]], he was very hostile to Kite, though he did help free him from the rubble that had trapped him. However, Kite didn't care about it as his little brother, [[Hart Tenjo|Hart]], was in trouble and told Shark they could have a rematch later. After arguing, the two agreed to work together to save Yuma and Hart.<ref name="ep68" />
 
 
 
During the Duel with [[Dr. Faker]], they developed a friendship and worked well with each other.<ref name="ep69" /><ref name="ep70" /><ref name="ep71" /> Although Shark holds little contact with Kite, they come together if the [[Barian World]] poses a big enough threat, but they have a tendency to argue with one other.<ref name="ep75" /><ref name="ep83" /><ref name="ep95" /> Initially, Kite refereed to Shark by his first name, but as they were around each other more often, he began using Shark's nickname just as others do.<ref name="ep105" />
 
 
 
Though despite their differences, Both he and Kite are a lot alike, both do whatever they can to protect their siblings ([[Hart Tenjo|Hart]] and [[Rio Kastle|Rio]]) and become quite vengeful and angry with both are in danger, as well as both seem to posses cool and distant personalities.
 
 
 
===Quattro===
 
Shark's earliest acquaintance with [[Quattro]] was at the [[National Duel Circuit]] , where he was Shark's opponent in the final match, which he won by disqualification. He becomes Shark's target of revenge when he revealed that he set Shark up for disqualification by placing his Deck so that Shark could see it, and was the one responsible for Rio's injuries.<ref name="ep26" /> Shark entered the [[World Duel Carnival]] in order to get revenge on Quattro, spending most of the time pursuing him. When they do meet, Quattro takes pleasure out of mocking Shark and provoking him, as it was part of the his family's plans to use Shark and make his hatred grow.<ref name="ep33" /><ref name="ep34" />
 
 
 
However, Quattro developed jealously towards Shark once he found out that [[Vetrix]] wanted Shark to defeat [[Dr. Faker]] instead of him. At the WDC party, Quattro confronted Shark out of anger, only to grow more irritated when Shark mocked him before leaving.<ref name="ep50" /> In the finals, they continued to provoke one another as Quattro led Shark to the "[[Magma Field]]" field for their rematch Duel.<ref name="ep51" /><ref name="ep53" /> Out of frustration, Quattro brutally Dueled against Shark to show his father that he was better than him.<ref name="ep57" /> After Quattro lost to Shark, he apologized for his misdeeds and entrusted Shark with the task of defeating Vetrix, which only annoyed Shark. His revenge and anger then shifts to Vetrix, as he was the one who orchestrated the whole thing.<ref name="ep58" />
 
 
 
==Decks==
 
{{main|Reginald Kastle's Decks}}
 
 
 
Shark plays a '''Xyz [[WATER]] Deck'''<ref name="ep53"/> consisting of monstrous looking sea creatures such as various races of sharks. He utilizes a [[Burn]] strategy in order to quickly gain the advantage through cards such as "[[Submersible Carrier Aero Shark]]" and "[[Explosive Urchin]]", with a focus on using [[Level]] 3 [[Monster Card|monsters]], such as "[[Big Jaws]]" to [[Xyz Summon]] [[Rank]] 3 [[Xyz Monster]]s.
 
 
 
Shark uses cards that can counter "[[Number]]s", whether that be [[negate|negating]] their effects with "[[Black Ray Lancer]]" or taking [[control]] of them with "[[Splash Capture]]". As his Xyz Monsters are Rank 3, their [[ATK]] tends to be on the lower side. He includes cards to decrease the [[ATK]] of his opponent's monsters such as "[[Needle Sunfish]]" and "[[Friller Rabca]]" to make up for this. A cautious Duelist, he includes many cards to counter Spells and Traps, such as "[[Sea King's Verdict]]", "[[Mystical Space Typhoon]]", "[[Plate Salvage]]" and "[[Skull Kraken]]".
 
 
 
After acquiring "[[Number C32: Shark Drake Veiss]]", Shark's Deck shifted to include more Level 4 monsters in order to Summon "[[Number 32: Shark Drake]]" and became more focused on the "[[Shark (archetype)|Shark]]" [[archetype]].
