[♪...]

Kitehey, hart, look.

I brought your favorite, little brother, hot chocolate.

Go on, take a sip.

Hartbut where, are we?

Don't you recognize this cottage?

Think back, we lived here when we were growing up.

We did?

I can't remember.

Well, I remember how much happier you were back then.

Nothing could get you down.

You were always laughing and telling jokes

But something happened, kid.

You changed.

And I know who did this to you.

Mr. Heartlandoh

So sorry to interrupt this brotherly reunion.

But I'm afraid it's time for hart to get back to work.

He needs to rest.

You're pushing hart way too far.

Don't you see, you have to take it easy on him.

That may be.

All the same, dr.faker insists that hart keep working.

He won't!

Stay out of this, kite.

This mission is way too important for me to give up now.

But hart

Don't worry about me kite.

I'm the only one with the power to save our world, kite.

I want to do whatever I can to help.

I know.

It's settled then!

Dr. Faker will be thrilled to know you're back

On the job, hart!

And I'm sure kite will get back to work tracking down the

Numbers we need.

Isn't that right?

You do want your brother to get better, don't you?

Yumawhoa!

Too cool!

Ow, that wasn't too cool.

You're sayin' there's a full-size airship

Parked inside my key?

Astralcorrect.

Whoa.

That must be one tight squeeze.

Clearly that key comes from a place far different

From this world.

When your parents gave it to you, they may have realized it

Contained many mysteries.

Cool.

So how do we get the ship out of the key?

I do not know.

You see the airship has been constructed like

A gigantic puzzle.

I am convinced that the numbers we have been gathering are the

Secret to solving this puzzle.

If we succeed in gathering up all of them

Then we shall see.

Numbers, huh?

Get it in gear, orbital !

We're going number hunting again.

Hey, you lazy hunk of junk.

Wake up!

I said wake up!

Orbital I wasn't sleeping

Just resting my sensors!

Yeah, right.

Have you finished up that report yet, listing all the duelists

Who have number cards?

Er, I kind of forgot.

Your memory circuits must be failing.

Maybe it's time I traded you in for a newer model.

Please don't do that!

I'll whip up that report in a flash, you'll see!

I promise!

While you're at it, find me the original number.

The original?

Yes.

Dr. Faker says there was an original visitor who brought the

Numbers to this planet.

I suspect, this mysterious visitor may have found

A host in heartland city.

A host, huh?

I think I have it!

Remember that boy yuma you challenged?

I noticed something during your duel.

He was wearing a strange pendant.

I'm running a computer analysis now

What does it say?

It confirms that the pendant did not come from this planet.

Really?

Orbital!

Locate yuma and gather as much information on him as you can.

And please do not make me ask twice!

I'm on it, boss!

Our next duel will be yuma's last.

Out of my way!

Comin' through!

I'm gonna be late for swimming class again!

Sharkthat yuma, always running behind.

Mr. Kayhi there, shark!

I'm glad to see you decided to come back to school.

So was yuma the one who helped to change your mind?

He certainly does seem to have a talent for influencing others.

I can't explain why.

Maybe it's his positive attitude but something about yuma brings

Out the best in people.

Wouldn't you agree with that, shark?

Whatever.

Friend ayou think yuma will belly-flop off

The high dive again?

Toriwho knows

Friend bhe never learns.

Tell me about it.

Caswellback off from the pool, yuma!

But I wanna dive.

Not while you're endangering the rest of us!

Take that thing off!

Why should i?

It is a safety hazard.

Lose it or move it!

You're bein' ridiculous.

Cathyi agree with yuma.

I hate to side with caswell here.

But remember your high dive last week?

You really stuck that landing

Get me?

Stuck it?

I totally belly-flopped.

You stuck that thing right here!

Man!

Like it's my fault caswell's head got in the way.

I should be more careful with this key though.

Not only is it incredibly valuable and mysterious

But it's sort of like astral's home, too.

Maybe I can learn something from yuma.

I feel so trashy in this disguise.

That locker room should be around here somewhere

Numbers hold the secret, to this ship

And also to my memories.

We have ten number cards so far.

Some have left me with more questions than answers.

And that truly concerns me.

My memory is weak.

I will need even more number cards if I am going

To solve the mysteries that surround me.

This must be the locker room.

I can tell by the odor.

Now which locker is yuma's?

Target identified.

Sorry but finders, keepers!

That was too easy.

This doesn't belong to you.

I was just, uh

Borrowing it from my good buddy yuma.

Give it back or he'll be mad!

I think you're a lying thief.

That was a big mistake.

I look puny outside, but inside I pack a lot

Of dangerous surprises!

Now hand it over shorty

Or I'll start drilling for it!

What kind of robot are you?

The nasty kind!

Come back here, coward!

How odd.

Why is it stopping?

The numbers are disengaging.

Why is this occurring?

I sense something is wrong.

I want that pendant!

That's enough, orbital!

I didn't authorize an attack.

I never have fun

Why don't you do yourself a favor and hand that

Pendant over to me right now!?

Not a chance.

This thing isn't yours pal!

I know, it belongs to yuma tsukumo.

And how do you know yuma?

Well, let's just say his number cards drew my interest.

Oh, I get it.

You must be that number hunter I been hearin' about.

So tell me, are you a duelist?

Do you have any number cards in your possession?

There's one way to find out.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I'll take your number and that pendant.

This match'll be for double.

Or nothing!

I was totally heading for trouble until yuma pulled me

Back from the brink.

I owe him big-time.

And today I'm payin' him back.

Okay hunter, bring it!

Photon transformation go!

Duel disk locked and ready for action!

Yeah!

Duel gazer go!

Prepare to meet defeat!

Computer voiceaugmented reality vision link established.

Let's duel!

School announcersecurity report to the field house!

Freaky.

Super freaky!

Bronklooks like a w*r zone.

Whoever pulled this prank is in for some serious detention time.

I can't find it, it's not here!

My key is gone!

Ready?

I'll go first.

Let's do this!

I draw!

Since this guy hunts numbers, I bet he's gonna build his whole

Strategy around them.

But I've got a plan that should zero out his numbers.

To start, I'll send big jaws to the graveyard and activate the

Shark lair spell card.

With this in play, your monsters that have equal or less attack

Points than the monster I sent to the graveyard

Can no longer attack!

Shark and big jaws has a whopping attack points

Good luck summoning a monster with more attack

Points that that.

Next up, I summon shocktopus!

Then I'll end my turn with a facedown.

C'mon, hunter, use a number

Watch and learn from a real duelist.

I draw!

First I activate polymerization!

A spell card?

Yes, that's right and next I'm gonna use its power to fuse

These two photon lizards, so that I can summon

Twin photon lizard to my field!

As you can see my monster is way more powerful

Than your big jaws!

I didn't count on him not going straight for an xyz summon.

Looks like I'll have to play at the top of my game

To out-duel this guy.

With twin photon lizard out, your shark lair spell card can't

Protect you anymore.

Your pathetic strategy failed miserably.

Now twin photon lizard attack!

Go photon force!

I didn't fail anything

I activate shocktopus' special ability!

Now shocktpus equips on to twin photon lizard and

Sucks out its strength!

Your lizard not only loses all its attack points, but it can't

Change battle mode anymore either!

You see that!

It doesn't matter what you try to throw my way, I'm

Always one step ahead!

You played me, but I played you right back.

Next turn, I'm gonna take a serious bite out of

Your life points!

Well wipe my drive!

That twerp smacked you down!

I can counter that move easily.

Oh yeah?

I activate twin photon lizard's special ability!

Now twin photon lizard splits back into two photon lizards!

His level monsters are back.

This can only mean one thing!

I overlay my level photon lizards in order

To build the overlay network!

I xyz summon, number : acid golem of destruction!

I was hoping he'd use a number

And this one has attack points!

It's the perfect moment to spring my trap.

I activate splash capture!

Since you xyz summoned, if I take two fish-type monsters from

My graveyard and banish 'em from play

I get control of your xyz monster!

So now, I banish both big jaws and shocktopus!

You were so predictable.

I was positive you'd summon one of your numbers and I was right!

My trap worked like a charm.

You thought acid golem would devastate my deck but I just

Turned it against you!

Number hunter, I now control your acid golem

And all of its power!

Once it strikes, you're through.

Master kite, you should have let me take care of him before!

Stay out of this orbital.

If you insist.

It's my move!

I activate the spell forced release!

Now acid golem loses all of its overlay units.

Then I place one card facedown.

And end my turn.

That spell of yours didn't get you out of danger.

Acid golem still has attack points.

And I can't wait to use them!

You fool.

Don't use realize that acid golem is still going

To help me win this duel?!

Help you?

Even though you control it now, acid golem is

Still doing my dirty work!

It might have attack points but its huge strength is

Balanced out by great weaknesses.

Yeah, like what?

Here's one thing

It must use an overlay unit each one of your turns

Or you take damage.

Two thousand life points to be exact.

Hold on.

You're forgetting on thing, number hunter.

It can still attack!

Now go acid golem!

Start blasting away!

It can't.

Why not?

Because acid golem needs overlay units in order to attack.

So it's powerless now.

You were doomed from the start.

Since I was expecting you to try and take control of

My number, I set you up.

Guess I'm the one who fell into a trap then.

That number hunter knows his stuff.

Underestimating him was careless.

This duel is done if I don't think of something fast.

But what?

It seems hopeless

Wait.

Yuma wouldn't give up.

And neither will i!

I play a facedown and end my turn.

You're up.

And you're going down!

I draw!

I still have a chance.

With my facedown card life regeneration, I won't take

Damage from acid golem's special ability on my next turn.

That should buy me some time till I can figure out how

To beat this guy!

I'm activating the spell, photon sublimation!

So by banishing two photon monsters

I can draw two more cards.

And that is bad news for you and your life points!

And now I draw!

I special summon photon thrasher!

And next I summon photon crusher!

But neither one is hanging around because I have something

Bigger and badder in mind!

Prepare yourself!

Wait.

What are you doing?

Just watch!

This next monster can only be summoned by tributing monsters

With or more attack points!

It's quite large, you might even say astronomical!

Once this monster att*cks, yuma's pendant and your number

Will both be mine!

Oh no!

Say hello to galaxy-eyes photon dragon!

Come on, astral!

Where are you!?

Oh man!

That wasn't in today's weather forecast!

I've never seen a storm like it before.

I wonder if it's

Hey!

Something is happening in the world outside this key

What is this!?

The hour for action is approaching

You need the power of zexal, the power that changes

All darkness into light.

The power of zexal!

There must be some way out c'mon, think!

It's all over.

Go photon stream of destruction!

Hold up - why are you attacking with that monster?

It's impossible!

Galaxy-eyes isn't a number card.

Only a number can destroy a number.

Wrong again.

Once acid golem loses its overlay units, that rule no

Longer applies.

That's why galaxy-eyes was free to destroy it.

In that case, you just made a giant tactical

Blunder, didn't you?

With acid golem on the field I would've taken massive damage.

By destroying it, you saved me from its curse and

Kept me in the duel!

You've already lost.

How's that?

Because you're still under acid golem's curse.

When it's destroyed, the duelist controlling it takes

Points of damage.

Which means your number card belongs to me now, along with

Yuma's pendant!

That's can't be.

Please forgive me, yuma.

I'll take that number now.

Along with your soul as well.

I don't understand this.

There is no number.

Shark!

Hello, yuma.

Long time, no see kite!

Shark!

He's really hurt.

What have you done!?

Master kite, the photon mode is percent!

No more dueling, please.

It is time to move out!

Relax, we're leaving.

Hey, leave that alone - it's mine!

Oh no, he's got astral!

Kite, come back here!
