Card Trivia:Number 32: Shark Drake


 * Despite having dragon in its name, it is actually a Sea Serpent type.
 * 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 Ryoga's WATER/Fish deck.
 * This card currently has the highest ATK out of all Rank 4 Number monsters.
 * This card's sealed form resembles a shark tooth shape made up some kind of liquid.
 * When this card uses an Overlay unit, it is absorbed 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 the organs to weaken them before killing them.
 * 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 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 Material Monsters. 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 seems to have lost to Shark's will and the Number on Shark's body disappeared.
 * This card's appearance is quite similar to the fellow "Number" monsters; "Number 19: Freezerdon" and "Number 61: Volcasaurus".
