During the first four seasons, Shin did not take part in any fights, though he did once put together an Oracle Think Tank deck, intending to teach Aichi what Grade 3's were capable of, but had other business to attend to and gave the deck to Misaki to fight in his place.
Before going to confront Rive at Ryuzu's lab, Shinemon obtains new cards from Esuka with which he rebuilds his deck once more. He includes a new form of Uranus which allows him to open the Astral Plane with only three Force markers in addition to other cards which support his playstyle.
"Capital is the place where we hang out! It's the place where we play! And it's the place I will protect! I am Shinemon Nitta! Come at me with everything you've got!" (Shinemon's pre-battle chant)
"The entirety of destiny is inscribed within the blinding darkness! And I am the one who recites it! Gleaming Lord, Uranus!"
"Rewrite the imagination! O great planetary guardian deity! Giant Deity of Distant World, Valkerion!"
"That roar... The call of the stars... Shaking the furthest reaches of the Milky Way and tearing through the firmament, it summons elements from far and wide! Its name is Quaking Heavenly Dragon, Astraios Dragon!"
"That roar... The call of the stars... Shaking the furthest reaches of the Milky Way and tearing through the firmament, it summons elements from far and wide! I ride! Quaking Heavenly Dragon, Astraios Dragon!"
"I ride! A ray of light pierces the darkness! No matter how faint it may be, I am the one who will recite and extol it! Behold! Origin Deity of Heavenly Light, Uranus!"
