Card Trivia:Number C32: Shark Drake Veiss


 * This is the second "Chaos Number" monster. The first is "Number C39: Utopia Ray".
 * Incidentally, they are both Cover Cards.
 * Following up on their evolutions, they both have an extra name added - "Ray" and "Vice" respectively.
 * Also, if Summoned normally, both require 1 more Xyz Material than their original versions and require monsters of the same Attribute as themselves.
 * Both also need a specific maximum of Life Points for their effects to activate.
 * While "Number 39: Utopia" is originally light-colored and its Chaos Number counterpart is dark-colored, this monster's color scheme is the opposite, going from a dark-colored Number to a light-colored Chaos Number.


 * This is the fourth Xyz Monster that can be Summoned by "Chaos Xyz Evolution", the first three being "Number C39: Utopia Ray", "Constellar Ptolemys Messier 7" and "Gaia Dragon, the Thunder Charger".


 * This card is the "Chaos Number" counterpart of "Number 32: Shark Drake".


 * The "Vice" in this card's name could have multiple meanings:
 * It could be from how a shark's teeth clamp down hard when it bites, like a vicegrip.
 * "Vice" (バイス Baisu) is also part of the Japanese name for Shark's first Number, "Number 17: Leviathan Dragon" (Japanese name is No. 17 Revise Dragon, with "Vise" written using the same kana as "Vice" due to their identical sounds).
 * Also, Leviathan Dragon's attack in the anime was called "Vice Stream".
 * It could also be from "Vice" in the context of a sin, showing how this Chaos Number is evil, as opposed to the other Chaos Number, "Utopia Ray", which is good.
 * "Vice" sounds similar to "weiß," which is German for "white," possibly referring to this monster's coloring.


 * This is the first Xyz Monster outside the ZEXAL manga that can be Xyz Summoned with more than 3 Xyz Materials.


 * This monster bears a striking resemblance to "Stardust Dragon".
 * This monster's position looks to be a mirror version of "Shooting Quasar Dragon".


 * This monster has a more humanoid dragon-like form than its previous form "Number 32: Shark Drake".


 * This monster bears a slight resemblance to the NirvashTypeZERO and NirvashTypeTheEND from the mecha series Eureka Seven.


 * This monster may be based on the Goblin Shark, due to the shape of its head and the initial use of its jaw to attack.


 * This is the first Xyz Monster to require 4 monsters to be overlaid for its Xyz Summon.
