Luna states that Astral ' s mission is to destroy Earth , and she asks him what he intends to do if his memories return . Neither Yuma Tsukumo or Astral can come up with a reply , so Luna ends the discussion , claiming that they can ' t coexist and are destined to fight one another someday . As Shark looks out the window , Luna states that the next time they meet , they will show Yuma and Astral no mercy . Later , as Yuma and Astral walk home , Yuma yells in frustration , asking how things can be going this wrong . If he , Kaito and Shark teamed up there ' s no way they ' d lose to a chump like Kyoji Yagumo . Astral muses that it might be best if they no longer fought the Numbers War . Yuma mishears him , thinking that he ' s agreeing with him , but then he realizes what Astral said . Astral suggests that he give his " Number s " to Shark and Luna . He explains that he saw a vision when he acquired " " and " " ; energy released from the Astral World struck the Earth , destroying everything it touched . Yuma is shocked , asking why Astral didn ' t tell him , and Astral explains that he didn ' t want to cause Yuma undue worry . Yuma protests that even if Astral gives his " Numbers " to Shark , once he and Luna get all the " Numbers " , they ' re going to destroy them , and Astral will die if that happens . Yuma adds that he doesn ' t want to stop fighting , not just for Astral , but for Haruto ' s soul as well , so that Kaito won ' t have to suffer as he does now . Astral remembers Haruto ' s eyes , and Yuma refuses to give up ; he ' ll get it all done somehow ; that ' s how he jets . Astral agrees , and Yuma excitedly tries to slap him on the shoulder , but due to Astral ' s incorporeal state , he falls through him and off the bank . Astral tells Yuma to do his best not to hold him back and the two of them smile at one another . At the destroyed Heartland Tower , Kyoji Yagumo walks into the room where Haruto is sleeping fitfully . He remembers a boy similar to him and Haurto calling him " big brother " , and the memory strikes him down , propping himself up on Haruto ' s bed . He wonders if he was fated to meet Haruto . At Kaito ' s laboratory , Orbital 7 holds a bag of ice on his master ' s forehead , begging him to hold on . He wonders what is happening , as nothing like this has ever happened before , but he doesn ' t notice a stream of spiders falling from a vent behind him . The spiders form into Kyoji , who observes that this is where Kaito was . Orbital turns in shock to see Kyoji , who tells Orbital to let him have Kaito . Orbital snaps at him to stay back , and he transforms into his battle form , vowing to defend Kaito and drive Kyoji out . Kyoji smiles , commenting that he doubts it , and a small spider that he ' s placed inside Orbital chews on a cable , paralyzing Orbital and causing him to sweatdrop . Kyoji mockingly asks if Orbital was going to drive him out . Kaito wakes up in Dr . Faker ' s lab , and he wonders what he ' s doing there . He yells for Orbital 7 , and turns to see Dr . Faker sitting on his throne . He asks Faker what is going on , but to his shock he realizes that Faker is long dead , and he wonders how this could happen . He walks up to his father ' s corpse , putting his hands on its shoulders and asking what will happen if he ' s gone . Kaito flies into a rage ; if Dr . Faker doesn ' t cure Haruto , who will ? Kyoji appears on a screen , and Kaito angrily insults him . Kyoji smiles , commenting that Kaito was near death and Kyoji fixed him up ; a little gratitude would have been nice . Kaito angrily asks what Kyoji did to Dr . Faker , and Kyoji is surprised that Kaito addresses his own father in that manner . He comments that it ' s quite sad , and Kaito snaps that it ' s none of Kyoji ' s business and tells him to answer his question . Kyoji explains that all he did was expose a truth that was hidden ; Dr . Faker did long ago from an incurable illness , but Kaito didn ' t know that , and Mr . Heartland tricked him into believing that he ' d cure Haruto , but he was using Kaito all this time . He holds up Heartland ' s broken glasses , claiming that he ' s already taken care of him . He comments that the Tenjo brothers would be free , but he can ' t tell them that . Kaito furiously asks where Haruto is , and Kyoji reassures Kaito that Haruto is with him . Kaito immediately challenges him to a Duel , and Kyoji agrees . He opens a door that leads Kaito to him ; in a large indoor plaza surrounded by water . Kaito runs in and asks where Haruto is , and Kyoji reassures him that he will see him soon . If Kyoji wins , Kaito will join forces with him and help him gather the Numbers , and in return , Kyoji will let him see the real Haruto once they have them all . Kaito is confused by the statement , and Kyoji explains that he means the Haruto who still has emotions and worshiped Kaito . Since Haruto ' s soul was dragged into the Astral World , he ' s just a soulless shell who can ' t tell where he ' s alive or dead . Kyoji sympathizes with Kaito , reassuring him that he knows the pain and sorrow of losing a little borther . Kaito ' s Duel Gazer tattoo appears and he yells at Kyoji to shut up , asking what he knows about Katio ' s pain . Kyoji ' s own tattoo appears , and he claims that he is the only one who understands . Kaito undergoes Photon Change , and the two begin their Duel .
