Anime[]

Dinosaur King[]

Fukuisaurus' card and Move Card were activated in Kyoto by falling onto a patch of grass in A Kyoto Caper after its Card Capsule fell off a load of rocks and fossils shipped from a site in Fukui. It was the last new dinosaur of the collection to appear (save the "forgotten" Megalosaurus). Attracted to shiny objects, it stole things from people and places in Kyoto, including Shino's hairpin, taking them to its hideout in the Golden Pavilion. It was a very fast dinosaur, making it difficult to catch. When Ursula dressed herself as a geisha, it went after a shiny object in her headdress, chasing it when Dr. Owen tossed it away, confirming suspicions of what it was after. Then Zander summoned Spiny to battle it, chasing and trapping it in a hole by smashing the floorboards of a walkway. Fortunately Ace saved it, knocking Spiny away, Fukuisaurus escaping underneath the walkway. Once down, Ed summoned Tank to battle it. She used her signature swinging tail attack, but Fukuisaurus jumped over it and flipped Tank onto her back. She used Tail Smash to get right-side up and attack, but Fukuisaurus used Emerald Garden and defeated her.

It then retreated to the Golden Pavilion where Max tried to get Shino's hairpin back as it slept. Unfortunately, Spiny appeared, but Fukuisaurus knocked him away, using Emerald Garden to defeat him as well. Because of this, Shino let it have her hairpin as a reward for saving her. Unfortunately, Rod summoned Terry, using Volcano Burst against it. Fukuisaurus tried to counter with Emerald Garden, but tossed the hairpin back to Shino first, making it too late to react and be defeated. Shino claimed the cards and gave them to the D-Team.

Later in Dinosaur War!, Zoe summoned it to fight against the Black T-Rex, using Emerald Garden as part of the Super Fusion Move that defeated it after three hits.

Mesozoic Meltdown[]

Another Fukuisaurus (or possibly the same one) is seen in the finale being ridden by Rod and Laura in the Backlander's Mesozoic forest projection after (if it was new) being rescued from the Space Pirate Ship by Dr. Z to be part of his Dinosaur Kingdom.

Trivia[]

  • Dr. Taylor's arcade comments:
    • Original: 日本ではっくつされた新しい草食恐竜だ。日本にもたしかに恐竜はいたのだ!
    • Translation: A new herbivore discovered in Japan. Indeed there were dinosaurs in Japan too!
  • DS Game Encyclopedia entry: TBD
  • Its card was the third exclusive card in the Japanese arcade and was the third exclusive card in 2006.
    • It could initially be acquired in 2006 by exchanging a number of ordinary cards, as could Centrosaurus and Fukuiraptor.
  • Fukuisaurus' arcade card was also the third exclusive dinosaur in 2007, a promo card distributed from the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum.
  • Along with Tarbosaurus, Tuojiangosaurus, Prosaurolophus, Chasmosaurus, and Fukuiraptor, it is one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese non-sale Dr. Dinosaur's Dinosaur Card.
  • It is claimed that Fukuisaurus's attraction to shiny objects is because birds are attracted to shiny objects and dinosaurs are related to birds, but Fukuisaurus was an iguanodontian ornithischian, on the far end of the complete opposite fundamental branch of dinosaurs than that birds evolved from. If a connection to birds was the reason why it liked shiny objects, then all dinosaurs in the series should have been likewise entranced by them.
  • Fukuisaurus is the only Grass Dinosaur that in Season 1 used a Grass Move Card that directly damages the opponent instead of summoning another dinosaur. (Maiasaura used an offensive Normal Move, Altirhinus used a Grass Move that summoned a dinosaur, Paris did both and healed allies, and the other Grass Dinosaurs didn't have Moves at all.)
  • It is one of the dinosaurs that was defeated by the Alpha Gang but claimed by the D-Team. The other ones were Ceratosaurus (twice), Daspletosaurus, Euoplocephalus, the first Megaraptor, the first Anchiceratops, Torosaurus, both Saurolophus, Deltadromeus, Iguanodon, Jobaria, and the second Carcharodontosaurus.
