Card Trivia:Number 32: Shark Drake


 * Despite having "Dragon" in its name and its dragon-like appearance, it is actually a Sea Serpent-Type.
 * This is similar to "Brionac, Dragon of the Ice Barrier", who is a Sea Serpent despite having "Dragon" in its name and having a Dragon-like appearance.
 * In the OCG, the Sea Serpent-Type is called Sea Dragon.
 * This is also the first Sea Serpent-Type "Number" monster.
 * The Sea Serpent type monsters also have a relation to Fish type monsters. The Fish type monsters are mostly low-leveled, weaker monsters while the Sea Serpents are represented as more powerful, higher-level monsters, literally the "Big Fish". This card's addition also represents a new ace of Reginald's WATER/Fish Deck.
 * This card currently has the highest ATK out of all Rank 4 monsters.


 * This card's sealed form resembles a shark tooth.


 * When this card uses an Overlay unit, it absorbs it through its forehead.


 * This card's ability to attack twice and weakening a monster is similar to a shark's highly aggressive hunting strategy. Even if the killing blow isn't delivered, they still greatly weaken their prey and can then easily deal the finishing blow. Sharks are also known for preying on large prey by going after vulnerable spots to weaken them before killing them.
 * This card's effect could be similar to how this card will amplify Reginald Kastle's darkness even more. Just as "Shark Drake" attacks his opponent's monster and continue its assault again, Reginald will continue chasing down IV until he satisfy his own revenge.
 * This card's effect to revive an opponent's monster with lower attack is similar to "Chain of the Underworld".


 * This is the 3rd "Number" monster that is used by Shark; the 1st was "Number 17: Leviathan Dragon" and the second was "Number 30: Acid Golem of Destruction".
 * All three of these Numbers are WATER Attribute monsters, but "Number 17" and "Number 30" require 2 Xyz Materials instead of 3. Also this card is a Rank 4 instead of a Rank 3.
 * This the only "Number" out of these three which does not have any negative effects when it loses all its Xyz Materials. Instead it benefits the most using its effect since it has more units and could deal major damage to the opponent.
 * This card and "Number 17" involve a 1000 ATK effect. "Number 17" could gain 1000 ATK through its effect, while this card could revive a monster that it destroys in battle and then decrease its ATK by 1000.
 * Interestingly, despite not being the original owner, this card still seems to reflect Shark's power, but instead of reflecting his original desire for more power, this card reflects Shark being strong on his own as well as becoming stronger. When Shark took control of "Shark Drake", the Number's influence is seen briefly conversing with him just like "Number 17" did and it tried to take control. However, it loses to Shark's will and the Number on Shark's body disappeared.


 * As with the Number introduced in "the previous episode", it is possible the actual number this card bears is a pun. The card was originally used by III, whose name is the Roman numeral for 3, and this card was the second Number used by a member of the Tron family.
 * Another pun on its number is that "Number 32: Marine Biting Dragon- Shark Drake" appears 32 episodes after Shark uses "Number 17: Leviathan Dragon".
 * This card also has similarities to "Number 96: Dark Mist as it has directly conversed with its owner. This card number is also 1/3 of Dark Mist's.
 * It is also the third Number card that Shark possessed, and the second given to/taken by him.


 * This card's appearance is quite similar to its fellow "Number" monsters; "Number 19: Freezerdon" and "Number 61: Volcasaurus".


 * This card is a candidate for being Shark's ace monster instead of Black Ray Lancer and he may use it in his future duels as this card has the features that are commonly associated with Shark's cards, those being a carnivorous Water-attribute monster.
 * This card is also a highly capable offensive monster due to its high ATK and ability to penetrate defenses, compared to Submersible Carrier Aero Shark which does effect damage or Black Ray Lancer which negates a monsters effect, so they usually need the help and combination of other monster effects to decrease an opponent monster's ATK enough to beat them.


 * This card is currently the strongest Sea Serpent-Type Xyz Monster in the game.


 * This card's effect is very much similar to "Nitro Warrior", only that it brings a monster back from the graveyard to attack again, rather then switching a monster in face-up Defense to Attack Position and attacking again.
 * Also, they both have the same ATK.


 * This card is similar to "Kachi Kochi Dragon", seeing as they both are Rank 4 Xyz Monsters and can attack again after destroying a monster by battle, but due to this card's extra Xyz Material requirement, this card lowers the ATK too.


 * This card's background looks like the Earth.
