Anime

Mesozoic Meltdown

Afrovenator was first summoned by Gavro in Ancient Persia during The 39 Thieves to try and open the titular thieves' treasure cave when he was looking for the Red Cosmos Stone; however, the rock was too heavy to get open, so he recalled it. Later while in the cave, Gavro summoned Afrovenator again to attack the Alpha Gang, but Ursula summoned Spiny, who knocked it into a wall; it was then given his Spectral Armor form to battle against Spiny's DinoTector form. The two seemed equally strong, but Afrovenator used Tornado Toss to defeat Spiny. It knocked the Alpha Gang away and swatted the gold piles around to realize the Cosmos Stone wasn't in that room, moving to the one where the D-Team were, where it fought against Ace, who used his DinoTector form to get an edge, but the ceiling had begun caving in, so he used Hurricane Beat to defeat Afrovenator. Its card was reclaimed by Rex.

Trivia

• Dr. Taylor's arcade & anime comments:
  • Original: アフリカのサハラさばくで発見された肉食恐竜だ。走るのはあまり早くなかったようだ。
  • Translation: A carnivore found in the Sahara Desert.
• It is the third Bronze rarity Wind Dinosaur card in the arcade.
• Along with Tyrannosaurus, Majungasaurus, Prosaurolophus, Tuojiangosaurus, Diceratops, Albertosaurus, Achelousaurus, Muttaburrasaurus, and Opisthocoelicaudia, it is one of the available dinosaurs in the Japanese Red Dinosaurs Egg card.
• Afrovenator was the first dinosaur all season in Mesozoic Meltdown to beat a dinosaur wearing DinoTector Armor (Spiny). Main dinosaurs had been defeated several times before, but never while wearing armor.
