I’ve unlocked Sharkman Karate on three accounts now, and it’s still my favorite fighting style for combo-heavy combat in Blox Fruits. This upgraded version of Water Kung Fu hits fast, stuns hard, and its water attacks melt bosses when you chain moves together. The catch? You’ll grind a 400-mastery prerequisite, farm a boss on a 30-minute timer for a rare key, and hand over millions in Beli. This guide covers every requirement in one table, the exact unlock steps, the full moveset with stats, and the V2 upgrades most players still haven’t unlocked.
To get Sharkman Karate in Blox Fruits, buy Water Kung Fu for $750,000, grind it to 400 mastery, defeat the Tide Keeper on Forgotten Island until he drops the Water Key, then give Daigrock, the Sharkman the key plus $2,500,000 and 5,000 fragments.
| Requirement | Details |
|---|---|
| Water Kung Fu | $750,000 from the Water Kung Fu Teacher; 400+ mastery required |
| Water Key | Rare drop from the Tide Keeper boss (level 1,475), Forgotten Island |
| Money | $2,500,000 |
| Fragments | 5,000 |
| Sea | Second Sea or Third Sea only — not obtainable in the First Sea |
How to Unlock Sharkman Karate Step by Step?
Step 1: Buy Water Kung Fu and Hit 400 Mastery
The Water Kung Fu Teacher sells the style for $750,000 — find him at Underwater City in the First Sea, on the hot side of Hot and Cold in the Second Sea, or near the portals at Castle on the Sea in the Third Sea. Once purchased, grind it to 400 mastery before anything else. I recommend AFK-grinding a tanky NPC with an autoclicker (allowed by the game) or leveling naturally through quests; either way, Water Kung Fu’s AoE moves make this the easiest mastery grind of the four base styles.
Step 2: Farm the Water Key from the Tide Keeper
The Tide Keeper is a level 1,475 boss at the back of Forgotten Island in the Second Sea. He spawns every 30 minutes, and the Water Key is not a guaranteed drop, so expect a few attempts. I use a long-range fruit and keep my distance; if he summons a Sea Beast, escape with Portal’s [V] move or reset your character before dying. While you wait for respawns, it’s the perfect window to knock out other Roblox grinds — our working Ragdoll Playground codes page is a good time-filler.
Step 3: Pay Daigrock, the Sharkman
Daigrock stands in front of a house on Forgotten Island, or inside the flat, blue-roofed building at Castle on the Sea in the Third Sea. Give him the Water Key, then pay $2,500,000 and 5,000 fragments to learn Sharkman Karate — you’ll also earn the “Sharkman” title. One warning from experience: don’t die, reset, or leave the game before completing the purchase, or you can lose the key and repeat Step 2. Have the full amount ready in one trip.
Sharkman Karate Moveset and Stats
| Move | Key | Mastery | Cooldown | Energy | Effect |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Twelve Water Palms | Z | 100 | 7s | 30 | Six water figures rush forward with rapid palm strikes |
| Pressure Vortex | X | 200 | 11s | 40 | Fires a water shark that traps enemies in a bubble, then explodes |
| Great Sea Spear | C | 300 | 16s | 75 | A water vortex pulls enemies in and unleashes a flurry of aquatic hits |
All three moves stun, and the fast M1 speed makes Sharkman Karate one of the best combo starters in the game.
How to Upgrade Sharkman Karate to V2?
Update 27.2 added full move upgrades — and this is where most players get stuck. The Sharkman Master now lives inside the Sealed Cavern, a hidden area on the Submerged Island. To get there, talk to the Submarine Worker inside Sub Port 01 near Tiki Outpost and dive down. You’ll need 500+ mastery on Sharkman Karate, then win Fish Fights against him to earn headbands before buying each upgrade:
| Upgrade | Key | Item Needed | Fragment Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Twelve Water Palms | Z | Yellow Headband | 2,000 |
| Pressure Vortex | X | Blue Headband | 3,000 |
| Great Sea Spear | C | Black Headband | 5,000 |
That’s 10,000 fragments in total. The Black Headband is the real wall — it demands near-perfect accuracy in the Fish Fight minigame, and players report spending days on it. My tip: on PC, use the spacebar instead of the left mouse button for cleaner timing. Each upgrade adds serious power — the Z shoots a follow-up water shark, X lets you steer the bubble, and C grants a 35% defense buff after a hit.
Is Sharkman Karate Worth It?
Yes — especially for PvP and boss fights. Its stuns, fast M1s, and combo potential make it a reliable style long into the Third Sea, and the V2 upgrades push it into genuinely competitive territory. One honest note: since the rework, Water Kung Fu’s all-AoE kit arguably grinds mobs faster, so I kept both and swap depending on the task. If you’re building a second Sea account, check our Anime Adventures tier list for other Roblox picks worth your time.
FAQs
Can you get Sharkman Karate in the First Sea?
No. It’s sold by Daigrock in the Second Sea (Forgotten Island) and Third Sea (Castle on the Sea) only. First Sea players should buy Water Kung Fu first and start the mastery grind early.
Is Sharkman Karate better than Water Kung Fu?
For PvP and combos, yes — its stuns and speed win fights. For pure mob grinding, Water Kung Fu’s AoE moves are arguably better since the rework. Buy both if you can afford it.
How much does Sharkman Karate cost in total?
$3,250,000 and 15,000 fragments fully upgraded: $750,000 (Water Kung Fu) + $2,500,000 and 5,000 fragments (unlock) + 10,000 fragments (all V2 upgrades).
What happens if I lose the Water Key?
Farm the Tide Keeper again — he respawns every 30 minutes on Forgotten Island. The drop isn’t guaranteed, so bring a strong long-range build to speed up repeats.
Why can’t I buy the upgraded Sharkman Karate moves?
You need 500+ Sharkman Karate mastery, the matching headband from Fish Fights, and the fragments — all at the Sharkman Master in the Sealed Cavern on the Submerged Island.
