Description in the game

After graduating from Duel Academy, Zane Truesdale was on the fast track to becoming the greatest Duelist in the pro leagues. However, his defeat against Aster Phoenix set him on a dark path where his only desire was victory - at any cost. As the master of the Cyber Style, Zane uses Cyber End Dragon to power his Underworld Deck with forbidden techniques.

Overview

Zane Truesdale (Ryo Marufuji in JP) is the top duelist of Duel Academy, being one of the few people who were able to beat Jaden in a duel, as well as the rival of Jaden Yuki in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. Later in the anime/manga, after experiencing several losses and losing hope, he participated in an underground duel where he is then forced to change his ways and eventually becomes "Dark Zane", becoming more aggressive and unforgiving with his playstyle.

A Fusion Summon of this card can only be done with the above Fusion Material Monsters. If this card attacks a Defense Position monster, inflict piercing battle damage to your opponent.

His signature card is Cyber Dragon, which is an archetype consisting of mostly light attribute monsters. Cyber Dragon shares many similarities to Blue-Eyes White Dragon, with the exception that it is not a normal monster. After his personality transformation later in the series, Zane uses a different deck. While still focusing on Cyber Dragons, they mostly consists of their darkened version.

Previous Event

Zane is playable at Victory Carnival 2018

The Event was held on 15 July 2018 in Tokyo Japan and 22 July 2018 in Osaka Japan. Players will get to experience playing Duel Links in a large touch screen!

Zane Truesdale's Deck

During Jump Victory Carnival 2018, Zane Truesdale was included as a playable character for people who went to the event and tried Duel Links section. Here, Zane used a fusion based Cyber Dragon deck with Classic Cyber Dragon cards combined with more modern support. Particularly we saw cards such as Cyber Dragon, Cyber Dragon Core, Evolution Burst, Power Bond, Power Wall, Cyber End Dragon, and Cyber Twin Dragon which are still unavailable to Duel Links players as of now. This may suggest that they will soon be added to Duel Links, which has long been sought after by the community. This also may also suggest that Zane Truesdale himself will soon be playable and come with support focused around Cyber Dragons and not Cyber Dark Dragons.

Normal Zane?
In July, Jaden/Yubel will be released as an unlock character. We have seen this name as well as a duplicate Zane Truesdale in the GX datamined character list for a while now. But now that we know they are willing to release a duplicate character, could it be possible that the recent rarity changes for cyber dragon and cyber twin dragon were made because they also intend to give us duel academy Zane with these cards as his level up/drop rewards?

I'm not really a big fan of Dark Zane, I hope they either implement Duel Academy Zane or some sort of character skin feature.

Zane is already at the Gate, so you can unlock him anytime.

Biggest thing I hate about Zane; Konami do you seriously expect everyone to spontaneously have Pair Cycroid when you get Syrus? Make the unlock mission more doable so that we can play the game with characters/decks we like.

I know man, you have to jump through so many hoops, I just realised that pair cycroid was a random drop from Cyrus after finally summoning rainbow dragon.
If they made it a level up reward for Cyrus that’d be cool... but rng is always a terrible way to earn a character

It's not like you're at a super-massive disadvantage by having to take a decent chunk of time to unlock a character.

That being said, getting a Pair Cycroid drop is going to be quicker than most Gate unlock events' unlocks anyway. Those usually take days.
