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.

Zane's fatal five skill can only work if somehow shooting star dragon from 5ds was in the game but it is not yet.

Are this and Chimeratech Overdragon the only way to use this Fatal Five skill?
<< Anonymous(Valencia)

It's not like Shooting Star Dragon is the only other monster in history to be able to attack five times. You could even trigger this other ways with already-existing cards with enough totally-not-worth-it setup. (Asura Priest into 3 monsters plus a Bamboo Scrap for example.)

Chimeratech overdragon + half shut + opponent's 1 face-up attack/defense position monster= Fatal five

With the Asura Priests and Chimera Overtech Dragon, I wonder if it is possible to make some kind of deck with this skill?

Does anyone else besides me wish they could have seen what could have happened if Zane and Aster had managed to have their rematch in the anime?

It's really likely that Zane is coming this May.

OMG, please, please let it be true! Even if it's not early May, maybe he could still show later in the month!

As much as I'd love to unlock Zane, I'd be ok with him giving duel rewards; last time he showed up I got a few Dreis, Zweis, Barrier Dragons, and not much else.

It's cool that they have some of his stuff for EX jewels right now. I wasn't able to get a lot during Zane's event back in January because I had just moved and hadn't gotten the internet set up yet. For a couple of days, I could only farm Zane for a few minutes with WiFi from school and the parking lot of McDonald's. Lol

I want his field card shimmering light.

Beatdown is appropriate for him when you consider how he liked to duel after his loss to Aster. These skills are not very good. If they could have at least made it so that the No Excuses! skill worked after your LP fell past 1000 instead of 500, that would have been a little better. But Zane is still Zane...

I have dealt with many unhappy girls in my life. Nobody understands unhappy girls better than me....
So terrible that this guy would lose to it's own individual pieces if it battled them.
