Its 2000 ATK, not 3000 ATK.

Regardless of that this is not exactly a surprise, given the existence of Number 39: Utopia Double, CXyz: Barian Hope being one of its previous forms and the recent release of Number 99: Utopia Dragner. There had to be a Barian equivalent to access all of the important Numbers (so 101-107, excluding 1000) and since the base form can attach the original forms (of 101-107) to itself (which also allows the comparison of itself to ZEXAL Field) it was obvious this would turn into their chaos versions.

Beyond that I would say this is definitely a good monster (although the self-destruction is unneeded).

If anything the interesting targets are C101 (due to its floating and Water Attribute), C107 (due to its massive body and mass negation effect), C104 (due to the monster negation and discarding) and C106 (due to its quick play mass negation, which acts as a kind of pseudo-omni negate).

With this card Abyss Shark and Buzzsaw Shark are both able to be "1-card" combos for CXyz: Barian Hope and any of the Over-Hundred-Chaos-Numbers.

Edit: This might be a pointless tangent, however I am wondering if the reason for the way its name is written is a reference to an alternative way of writting "sh", which is "sch" and includes a "c" in the middle, which would leave an identical pronunciation to the previous form of being Nash Knight.

Y'see this is what happens when I change the formatting as to how it was written in the org article, little harmless errors.

I think the protection is to make sure that you don't get interrupted when you play this, but if that were the case, your opponent would just wait until you Rank Up.

This feels... honestly a little disappointing for some reason. I think it's because they copy-pasted Raiders' Knight, though at least it gives you a roundabout way of attaching the original Number 10X monsters to their Chaos forms. Turboing out those monsters and giving them two more materials to work with should be a good thing, but I would hope that a boss monster cover card could be more than a Raiders' Knight for Numbers.
