Project X Zone 2[]
V-Dural returns in Project X Zone 2 along with statue variants and eventually the real Dural. The first V-Dural that appears in the game is in Chapter 10: Code Holder appearing on the Queen Zenobia alongside M. Bison. It is destroyed by the heroes but Kage Maru tells Akira that it was only a copy of the real Dural, and if he continues to pursue M. Bison and Shadaloo, he may find her.
A second V-Dural appears in Chapter 17: Road Combatants appearing in the City of Mercy with a horde of God Arc Soldiers under its control. It is destroyed by the heroes, as Kage Maru confirms that it was once again another copy of the real Dural.
A third V-Dural appears in Chapter 24: Beautiful, Dangerous Wood Sprites along with two stone variants accompanying Juri Han in the Forest of Idols. All three of them are destroyed by the heroes though.
A fourth V-Dural appears in Chapter 35: Justice Enforced alongside three stone variants, once again accompanying Juri Han at the Divine Dragon Grounds. Kage Maru deduces that none of them were the real Dural, which Juri confirms saying the real one was probably off with M. Bison. The four copies are destroyed, with Kage Maru becoming even more determined to destroy the real one now that he knows where it is.
Dural finally makes her appearance in Chapter 40: Iron Fists of Fury, accompanied by one final V-Dural, having been freed from M. Bison's control following his death. After being defeated, Dural manages to speak to her son one last time before exploding, as Kage Maru himself asks her to rest.
