Anime

Dinosaur King

Futabasaurus's Move Card was found by the Alpha Gang, who used him to attack the D-Team, defeating Ace, but he was injured by Tank and disappeared. Zoe found by a nearby lake and had Paris heal him with Nature's Blessing; because of that, Futaba befriended her. When Zander recalled Spiny, he returned to his card, which Zoe claimed.

Later, Ursula got him back thanks to Tank making Zoe drop his card. However, he remembered Zoe after Nature's Blessing was used to heal Chomp, and he turned on the Alpha Gang, defeating Tank and Spiny (and in the process, himself, as his Move Card was being used by Spiny).

Another Futabasaurus was used by the Alpha Gang in Carnival of Chaos as a submarine. However, due to him not having eaten for so many days, he went beserk. The D-Team then knocked off his Control Device and he returned to a card, which was retrieved by Alpha Droids.

Mesozoic Meltdown

Futaba is later used to fight the 5 Ophthalmosaurus summoned from Ocean Panic, helping to lure them into the path of Spiny's Ultimate Water.

Futaba is last seen in the finale, swimming in the ocean alongside Ophthalmosaurus and Deltadromeus.

Trivia

• Futabasaurus appeared out of a pool of water that just appeared on the ground, but when he dived back into it after Tank's tail club hit his neck, he somehow reappeared in a lake a reasonable distance away.
• Futabasaurus is one of only two Move Card Dinosaurs to be nicknamed by one of the characters in the anime, the other being Pawpawsaurus.
• Though it was named after its discoverer and the formation it was found in, the Japanese term/word for "Futaba" can also mean "sprout", and the term/surname for "Suzuki" means "bell wood or bell tree", making its name literally mean "Bell Wood Sprout Lizard". The word "Suzuki" can also mean "perch".
• In the anime, some of Futabasaurus' cries are Godzilla's calls (from the late 1960's through the early 1970's).
• It is unknown why Futabasaurus was not used in the fight against the Black T-Rex, but the reason could be that he needed to be in a body of water to be summoned, which is contradictory of what was seen in his debut episode. However, another reason could be that Max had his card at the time, and so he along with a number of other dinosaurs did not take part due to Max's absense from the battle.
• For some reason, after Futabasaurus befriended Zoe, and called him Futaba (in a lake a reasonable distance away from the Alpha Gang), the Alpha Gang, when they summoned Futabasaurus again, somehow knew Zoe's nickname for him, with Ursula saying, "Super Cannon, Futaba!"
