The problem is Bushiroad has kind of abandoned Azure Dragon, so to make due I decided it'd be best for Shiroi to go through a story arc in which he has to come to terms that he cannot stick with the old way.

However I'm not completely having Shiroi abandon Azure Dragon. Shiroi will embrace the new Nova Grappler stuff that Ryu gives him, along with a brand new red jacket to go with it, but Shiroi still keeps Azure Dragon in the deck.

And after having a fight with his rival who uses Ethics Buster, beating his rival, and almost giving away Azure Dragon as a sign of friendship (his rival refuses and tells Shiroi to keep Azure) Shiroi occasionally plays without Azure Dragon. But his important fights will usually have Azure in the deck.
