Zen and Aku is a God Link.

God Link[]

This God Link has the following characteristics.

14 Zen and Aku
Light Water Darkness Nature / Creature God 17000+
Blocker ■ Whenever this creature attacks, you may destroy one of your opponent's creatures. ■ Whenever a god is destroyed, you may return it to your hand instead. ■ At the end your turn, you may untap this creature. ■ Quattro breaker (This creature breaks 4 shields.)

Details[]

It is the linked form of Aku, Ultimate God and Zen, Transcendent God.

7 Aku, Ultimate God
Water Darkness / Creature God 9000+
■ Double breaker (This creature breaks 2 shields.) ■ Whenever one of your Gods in the battle zone would be destroyed, you may return it to your hand instead. ■ God Link (Zen, Transcendent God) Left Side ■ Whenever this creature attacks while linked, you may destroy one of your opponent's creatures.

7 Zen, Transcendent God
Light Nature / Creature God 8000+
Blocker ■ Double breaker ■ God Link (Aku, Ultimate God) Right Side (If you have the specified God in the battle zone, you may link it to this card. The linked God has the characteristics of each God (power and abilities) and becomes one creature. When it would leave the battle zone, choose either card.) ■ While this creature is linked, it has "quattro breaker" and untaps at the end of each of your turns. (A creature that has "quattro breaker" breaks 4 shields.)

Due to its civilizations of Water Darkness, Aku is considered to be the "Evil" God while Zen is the "Good" God with the Light Nature civilizations.

After they link together they are known as the "Ultimate Transcendence" (or "Akuzen") and aim to stop the conflict between the Good and Evil forces of the God Apex Saga.

While linked, they are the only God creature to consist of exactly 4 civilizations.

Saga, the Almighty Creator and Saga, God of Destruction were later released both with effects based around unlinking Aku and Zen for a powerful effect.

Despite the fact that the DMC-57 and DM-26/DMX-14 versions of these cards have different illustrations, they are still linkable due to their card names (despite the mismatched artwork).

This trait is also shared with the God Link of Geki and Metsu .

Story[]

After the resurrection of Ballom in his new Ballom Emperor, Lord of Demons form, the returned gods banded together to fight off the forces of the Darkness Civilization army. These gods included Aku and Zen.
