The Lamentation[]
Sela laments her hollow win.
Sela trained as a martial artist alongside Leo. At one point, the two of them faced-off in a tournament which ended with Sela defeating Leo as a result of him purposely not giving his all against her, thus throwing the fight, due to his chivalrous belief that the duty of a man is to protect girls and not fight them. Sela would resent Leo for doing this as it rendered her win an empty victory. TV STORY-Ep. 4: Howl in the Ring

Sela consoled Tusk, who had grown frustrated with Leo and Amu's complacency to the point of scolding them, suggesting that while being in the right, there may a better way of getting his point across. Tusk understood Sela's sentiment, but would find executing it easier said than done. TV STORY-Ep. 21: Prison Break
Coming to the Human World[]
One day while guarding the Link Cube, Sela and the other three Zyumans were shocked to find not only the Link Cube active, but a human, Yamato Kazakiri emerging from it. While interrogating the foreigner, the Link Cube began acting strangely, and the panicking Yamato activated it, unintentionally dragging the four Zyumans along with him. The five arrived in the human world to see a forest being ravaged by the Deathgaliens. Enraged, the Zyumans used the King's Credentials to become the Zyuohgers, in Sela's case Zyuoh Shark. Fighting alongside Yamato (who somehow managed to become a Zyuohger as well), all five fought off the invaders.
However, when they returned to the Link Cube, one of the King's Credentials was missing. Yamato offered a place to sleep for the Zyumans, which everyone but Tusk accepted immediately (he would have a change of heart the next day). The Credentials also granted the Zyumans human disguises, helping them blend in.
Of her fellow Zyumans, Sela found Leo most trying, with his booming lion voice causing friction with her sensitive shark ears. TV STORY-Ep. 6: Wild PresentTV STORY-Ep. 8: Savanna's Melody As a result of Leo's belief that a man should defend girls and not fight them, Sela found that he didn't approach her equally as a fighter, which she resented him for.

The Fake Sela[]
Sela and Tusk are done shopping when Bangray attacks them. After Zyuoh Shark and Elephant are being defeated, he uses their mind to create a pair of impostors. As the other Zyuohgers find them, they are surprised that there are two sets of Sela and Tusk. Both of the pairs wear each a bomb vest that would explode in 30 minutes if they do not find the impostors. So Yamato, Leo, and Amu conduct a quiz to determine the reals and the impostors. They are divided into Zyuman Form team and Human Form team, and the Zyuman Form team wins with the score 10-4. Feeling cornered, the Human Form team who are presumably impostors, run away. When the other Zyuohgers find them at a park, Yamato finds out that the impostors are the Zyuman team, as they answered all the questions a bit too perfectly. It is then revealed that the quiz is for making some time to figure a way to stop the bomb without killing the impostors. When the time is running out, the fake Sela and Tusk decide to sacrifice themselves, so the real ones can survive. The real Sela and Tusk then realize that the impostors who are created from their memory also had feelings. They cannot forgive Bangray and are determined to defeat the Megabeast Hunter.

Zyuman Power (ジューマンパワー,Jūman Pawā): The natural energy of individual Zyumen, they can bestow this energy upon other lifeforms to heal them via a King's Credential, granting the potential to unlock Zyuman powers as a side-effect in humans.

Following this, Sela can change from Zyuman to human and back at will. However, her disguise bears one exposing flaw in that she retains her shark fin, equivalent to the tails of her fellow Zyumen.

During the fight with Amigard, Zyuoh Shark performed an alternate version with Zyuoh Lion where an aura resembling a beast's fangs manifests around the opponent and chomps the opponent as the two Zyuohgers first perform a jumping downward stab followed by a lateral slash.
Zyuoh Shoot (ジュウオウシュート,Jūō Shūto): After pressing the trigger on the ZyuohBuster to charge up its energy, Zyuoh Shark shoots a spinning cube shaped energy blast, similar to the ZyuohBuster's normal projectile but larger and more solid.
Abilities[]
Sixth Sense: As a Zyuman guardian, Sela can sense malicious presences such as the Deathgaliens, which are signaled by her fin standing erect.

Amphibiousness: In her Zyuman form, Sela possesses a natural affinity for swimming along with the ability to breathe both air and water.
In her Instinct Awakened (野性解放,Yasei Kaihō) form, Zyuoh Shark gains a dorsal fin on her back. In this form, she can swim through the ground as though it were water, allowing her to surprise attack her opponents as well as perform a somersault attack where she uses her fin to buzzsaw through enemies. Alternatively, she can perform an aerial spin attack after jumping and homing in on her target, repeatedly striking them in mid air with her spin attack.
Zyuoh Shark, along with the other Zyuohgers in their Instinct Awakened forms, is able to channel her power along with Zyuoh Gorilla's power into a gigantic fist that Zyuoh Gorilla can use to smash down onto the enemy in his Gorilla Super Punch (ゴリラスーパーパンチ,Gorira Sūpā Panchi) attack.
