Description
Zakusa Ishigame debuted in *Cardfight!! Vanguard overDress* with Team Blackout, later adopting the alias "Shirogane" upon joining the Uniformers in *will+Dress* Season 2. He emerged as an antagonist in *will+Dress* Season 3. His surname fuses the kanji for "stone" (石) and "turtle" (亀), adhering to traditional naming practices. Previously an aggressive street punk, his arrest by Tomari Seto led to rehabilitation through Vanguard at Wonder Park.
Physically, Zakusa possesses pale skin and shoulder-length white hair tied in a topknot with a hairpin, typically keeping his eyes closed. He favors traditional Japanese attire and flip-flops. Though initially laid-back and artistic—painting during downtime—his delinquent aggression resurfaces under provocation, like card destruction or threats to Wonder Hill. Tomari Seto and Danji Momoyama frequently temper this duality throughout his arc.
As a cardfighter, he wields a Brandt Gate deck focused on the Cardinal ride line. His strategy deploys "World" Set Orders to establish conditions such as "Dark Night" and "Abyssal Dark Night," triggering normal unit effects and summoning Shadow Army Tokens. Under the Shirogane alias, he rebuilt his deck around the ace unit Cardinal Dominus, Orfist Regis, while retaining consistent triggers: Ameliorate Connector (Draw), Patrol Robo Dekarcop (Critical), Cardinal Draco Barbizonde (Critical), Cardinal Prima Nabilem (Heal), Cardinal Draco Enpyro (Front), and Eldobreath (Over Trigger).
His competitive history includes an *overDress* win against Masanori Iseki (Episode 9) and a rematch loss (Episode 10). During *will+Dress* Season 1, he lost off-screen and on-screen to Yu-yu Kondo (Episodes 1, 4), Raika Koshiba (Episode 8, off-screen), and Masanori Iseki (Episode 20), but secured victories against unnamed fighters (Episodes 26–27), Haruka Soukawa (Episode 27), and Taizo Kiyokura (Episode 33, off-screen). Adopting the Shirogane identity in *will+Dress* Season 3, he defeated Yu-yu Kondo (Episode 34). Post-Uniformers, he returned to Wonder Hill, reconciling with his past and reaffirming ties to the location.
