My Synchros remain in continual flux! It's called Reincarnation Synchro!

— Ren on the "White" monsters.

"White" (ホワイト Howaito) is an archetype of WATER Fish monsters used by Ren in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V manga. Various other Duelists have used "White" monsters in the past, but there is no support outside of the ARC-V manga. In the OCG/TCG, it is a series indirectly tied together by "White Reincarnation" as "Fish monsters that have an effect to treat themselves as Tuners", with the Synchro Monsters given their own archetype, "White Aura".

While "White Dolphin" closely resembles the members of this series, it predates it by many years and so is not considered as part of it.

Design[edit]

All "White" monsters used by Ren are sea creatures with white bodies.

Member Sea creature
White Aura Bihamut Bahamut
White Aura Dolphin Chinese white dolphin
White Aura Monoceros Narwhal
White Aura Porpoise Porpoise
White Aura Whale Physeteroidea (probably based on Moby-Dick, a white sperm whale)
White Moray White moray eel
White Sardine Sardine
White Stingray Manta ray
White Sunfish Ocean sunfish

Playing style[edit]

In the manga, the archetype focuses on using complex tactics to gather Synchro Materials to Synchro Summon while distracting the opponent during a Turbo Duel. Ren claims that the use of complex tactics is a basic Turbo Duel strategy, since the more distracted and worked up the opponent gets, the more mistakes they commit.

Furthermore, "White" monsters have the ability to revive themselves as Tuner monsters upon destruction, allowing the user to keep Summoning stronger Synchro Monsters when their monsters are defeated, which Ren calls "Reincarnation Synchro".

In the TCG/OCG, there are only four main deck "White" monsters, all of which are non-Tuner by default. The series has to rely on various generic WATER support themes, such as "Deep Sea" to gain access to their Synchro monsters. Fortunately, as a WATER-centric series, "White" monsters also enjoy numerous support as well as being able to be used to supplement other WATER-centric strategies, such as "Umi", "Atlantean/Mermail", and "Shark", either to providing more resources or as Synchro monster options.
