On a different note, Shark is pretty much written as a tsundere. Male tsunderes are rare, and Shark basically fits the notes to be one.

While he isn’t cartoonishly mean to Yuma purely from liking him, he does treat him a particular way in his rudeness. He wants to be his friend, but pushes him away quite a bit (as he believes he’s too dangerous for Yuma’s safety).

When presented with others gushing over or simply praising Yuma (like the teacher does when comparing him to the sun), Shark maintains his cool and seemingly careless facade. Only to then in private, show a soft side and fondly think or speak of Yuma. Rio has said he talks about the other boy all the time. He also doesn’t express this fondness so directly until the near end of the series where he gushes to Yuma in the middle of a duel.

In said duel, he uses a line like “worming your(read:Yuma’s) way into everyone’s hearts.”

When Yuma expresses joy and wants to be affectionate towards him for his overt moments of kindness, Shark gets aggressive, denies it, will even curse at him, and even blushes (like in Duel Links).

He constantly turns away from Yuma when deep down, he deeply desires to protect the boy as clearly evidenced multiple times in the show.

More than once, Shark can be seen not-so-subtly staring at Yuma from a distance. One time it’s focused on by the camera. The next, he’s sat in the background, watching the other very closely. It almost feels like a different display of his literal watchfulness.
