This chapter was first printed in Japanese in the 6 / 2014 issue of " V Jump " , released on April 21 , 2014 , and in English in the 04 / 21 / 2014 issue of " Weekly Shonen Jump " . Summary . Kotori gasps that Haruto is trapped in Yagumo ' s device , and Luna notes that the device will activated if the Duels continue , but stopping them and thus the device would endanger Haruto . Orbital 7 transforms into his battle form , suggesting force , but Luna stops him , as doing so will endanger Haruto too . Luna gets an idea , and she orders Orbital to follow her , while Kotori whispers Yuma ' s name in worry . Kaito activate s the effect of " Galaxy Shot " , Releasing " Galaxy Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon " since he damaged his opponent to inflict its ATK to his opponent . " Galaxy - Eyes " explodes and Kaito bids Yuma goodbye as Yuma , on 2500 LP , shields himself from the blast . Kaito pants and smiles , thinking that he ' s won . In the other tower , Yagumo agrees that it looks like that ' s it for the other Duel . Shark grins and warns Yagumo that he wouldn ' t be so sure ; Yuma and Astral don ' t lose so easily . Indeed , the smoke clears as Astral asks Yuma if he ' s all right . Yuma replies that the attack was nothing , though he notes that it stung . To Kaito ' s shock , Yuma still has a single Life Point thanks to his " Hope 1 " Trap Card , sending " " from his field to the Graveyard to allow him to survive with 1 LP since he was about to lose . Kaito calls Yuma a poor loser , and Yuma retorts that he ' s not giving up no matter what tough cards Kaito uses . He tells Kaito to wake up , he ' s always worked for a future he believes in , and the Kaito Yuma knows wouldn ' t let Yagumo boss him around . Kaito declares that his life ended when Dr . Faker died . Haurto ' s soul won ' t return , so he has no - one now . Yuma protests that Kaito has him ; Yuma is his friend . Kaito is briefly silent before asking Yuma if he ' s an idiot . Kotori agrees that Yuma is an idiot , but Kaito is a bigger idiot for giving up on everyone . He actually saved her , he ' s a nice person . Kaito admits that Kotori may be right , but that ' s fine . He ' s made up his mind , and doesn ' t care what happens to this world ; he ' s going to find Haurto ' s soul . He asks Yuma what he can do with 1 LP , and on 4000 himself , Kaito Set s a card and he ends his turn . Yuma replies that one point is enough . Jetting means courageously taking the first step . His remaining Life is that first step . Astral smiles , and he muses that with Yuma , he does not feel as if they are losing even if Yuma is low on LP . Yuma turns everything on its head with his power of believing in people . Yuma turns to Astral and says , " Here we go , Astral ! " and Astral agrees . Yuma declares his turn and draws , and he activates a Trap Card , " Xyz Reborn Plus " , which Special Summon s an Xyz Monster from his Graveyard and becomes an Overlay Unit for that monster . Then , by sending the attached " Xyz Reborn Plus " to the Graveyard , he can draw two cards . Yuma ' s hand is now at three cards , as Kaito observes that " Utopia " is back . Astral warns Yuma about what they will have to do to survive Kaito ' s assault , and Yuma agrees that they ' ll show him their bond , which Astral calls their last hope . Yuma declares a Shining Xyz Change , and Kaito remembers the last time he saw the phenomena as Yuma chants , " When the universe is in disorder , a single ray of hope descends to illuminate the chaos ! " Astral declares that this is the hope that their bond created as " " kneels in front of them . Yuma declares that " Utopia One " is proof that Kaito is not alone , and Kaito denies it . Yuma activates a Spell Card , " Final Countup " , since he controls a " Utopia " monster and he has less LP than his opponent . It changes the ATK of " Utopia One " to the value of the difference in their LP , to 3999 . " Utopia One " attacks with " Hope Sword Shining Slash " as Yuma tells Kaito to wake up . Kaito is reduced to 1 LP as well . Orbital meanwhile , is inserting cables into his body as Luna urges him to hurry up so that he can take over as Haruto ' s life support . Kotori protests that the energy of the " Number s " is building up quickly , and they have to get Haruto out . Fortunately , Orbital finalizes the switch , before noting that now they have to break the device containing Haurto . A voice calls out to let them help with that , and Kotori smiles as the rest of the Numbers Club join them floating in the space . They wrench the cross - shaped device apart , and Orbital cries , " Master Haruto ! " Kotori immediately lets Kaito and Yuma know that Haruto is free , but the device hasn ' t stopped and won ' t stop unless they stop Dueling . Yuma asks Kaito if he heard that they don ' t have to Duel anymore and tells him to stop , but Kaito refuses . Yuma asks why not , since Haruto has been freed . Yagumo laughs , and he mocks Yuma for not kowing , yet calling himself Kaito ' s friend ; continuing to fight is the only way Kaito can live with himself . He lost his beloved brother to Dr . Faker , and then he threw away his own life and humanity and took many souls as a Numbers Hunter . He believed that it would bring Haruto ' s soul back , but that was just one of Mr . Heartland ' s lies . Kaito ' s whole life has been one of loss , lies , and being used , and now he doesn ' t even have anyone on whom to ven this rage ; all he has left is complete despair . Astral bitterly notes that Kaito has lived a life of nothing but pain , and Yuma is horrified that he had no idea that Kaito had suffered so much . Dull - eyed , Kaito reflects that all he can do now is take back Haruto ' s soul . Vowing to find the real Haruto , he vows that no matter what happens to his world , he won ' t let anyone stop him . He activates a Trap Card , " Galactic Fury " , since he took damage , Special Summoning a " Galaxy " monster from his Graveyard with lower DEF than the damage that he took . Since he took 3999 damage , he brings back the 3500 DEF " Galaxy - Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon " . Horrified that " Galaxy - Eyes " has returned , Astral orders Yuma to Set a card , and Yuma Sets two cards to end his turn . Kaito declares his turn and draws , yelling that the Duel ends here , and Astral warns Yuma that they have a split - second chance before Kaito can bring back his endless combo . Kaito orders " Galaxy - Eyes " to attack with " Photon Stream of Destruction " ; Yuma ' s " Utopia One " may have 3999 ATK , but " Galaxy - Eyes " has 4000 and Yuma only has 1 LP . He snaps that their " one " was no hope after all . Astral orders Yuma to activate his Trap , and Yuma refuses to give up as he activates " Magic Rebounder " , sending the damage back at Kaito ' s monster . Kaito yells , " What ? " in shock , and Astral reminds him that his endless " Galaxy - Eyes " and " Gadget Recovery " combo only activates after a battle , a time lag that is their last chance to defeat " Galaxy - Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon " . As the satellite of " Magic Rebounder " prepares to blast " Galaxy - Eyes " , Kaito activates a Quick - Play Spell Card , " Shade of the King " , negating the destruction of his Rank 8 or higher monster and Summoning an Xyz Monster one Rank higher . Astral is shocked that Kaito is Summoning an Xyz Monster at this point , and Kaito holds up a blank card , explaining that he still has to play . Featured Duel : Yuma Tsukumo vs . Kaito Tenjo .
