However, "[[Polymerization]]" is not required to [[Fusion Summon]] these monsters. Instead, the correct "Gladiator Beast" Fusion Material Monsters are returned to the Main Deck to Special Summon the appropriate "Gladiator Beast" Fusion Monster. This process is otherwise known as [[Contact Fusion]]. Several of the "Gladiator Beast" Fusion Monsters are also able to 'tag out' to Special Summon 2 or more "Gladiator Beast" monsters from the Deck. | ||

It is this versatility which landed this Deck as one of the top Decks in the ''Shonen Jump Circuit''. | Nearly every card in the archetype is capable of being returned to the hand, field, or Deck from the Graveyard by utilizing the effects of "Gladiator Beast" monsters or their support cards.

* '''Prevention of Special Summoning''' - As "Gladiator Beast" Decks focus heavily on Special Summoning, they become crippled by cards that prevent it. "[[Solemn Warning]]", "[[Archlord Kristya]]" and "[[Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo]]" are all common Main Deck and Side Deck cards that prevent Special Summoning, or neutralize it. In the case of "Kristya", the Deck finds it hard to get over a monster with 2800 ATK without Contact Fusion, as long as it is protected from the high Trap Card count with cards like "[[Forbidden Lance]]". Other options include "[[Vanity's Fiend]]", "[[Vanity's Ruler]]", "[[Deck Lockdown]]" and "[[Corridor of Agony]]". | * '''Prevention of Special Summoning''' - As "Gladiator Beast" Decks focus heavily on Special Summoning, they become crippled by cards that prevent it.

"[[Starlight Road]]" is a common card that is particularly effective against "[[Gladiator Beast Gyzarus]]".
