If You Ever Feel Useless, Just Remember...
That canonically, Pankratops has a 0% success rate in popping an opponent's card with its iconic effect.
In the anime, G Golem Invalid Dolmen turned out to be immune to the opponent's monster effects, forcing Onizuka to resort to using Pankratops as mere Link fodder in order to make a monster strong enough to swing over Dolmen. Whilst in the OCG Structures manga, Ohza Akaboshi attempted to use Pankratops to destroy Shoma's Magikey Mechmortar - Garesglasser, but Shoma Chained Gareglasser's own effect, negating Pankratops due to Shoma possessing two monsters in his GY with the same Attribute as Pankratops.
That was all of Pankratops' major appearances, not counting minor stuff like when it was in Onizuka's hand on the last Turn of his rematch against Playmaker but he didn't use it. So yeah, between the anime and manga, Dinowrestlers can't catch a break. At least Pankratops managed to enjoy a while of success in the IRL Meta, even if it seems to have been powercrept by better cards like Fenrir. I wonder if DW ever gets Legacy Support, if they'll be made to work better with Pankratops, or if they'll go the Sacred Beasts route and reboot the Archetype, with Pankratops being kept as a generic staple.
