Dark counterpart

The Dark counterparts are a series of DARK monsters, identified by having an existing non-DARK counterpart and 「ダーク」 in their Japanese name.

The Dark counterparts were released in the OCG and TCG in Phantom Darkness, but dated back to the anime with the cards "Rainbow Dark Dragon" and "Arcana Force EX - The Dark Ruler".

Dark counterparts have no external support, but are highly playable and powerful, particularly "Dark Armed Dragon", which currently supports the one of the most tournament competitive Decks.
