Fight to the Death , Vegetable Death Match " in the Japanese version , is the thirtieth episode of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL " anime . It first aired in Japan on November 7 , 2011 , and aired in the United States on September 22 , 2012 . Summary . Tombo Tillbitty Duels people , defeating them with his " Basket Rule " ( " Vegetable Deathmatch " in the Japanese Version ) and takes their Heart Piece s . Dextra and Nistro appear near one of the defeated Duelists . They see he has vegetables stuffed in his mouth , and Dextra sees blood on his shirt ( in the dub , they assumed it ' s tomato juice ) . Dextra inspects closer , and licks it up , telling the disgusted Nistro it ' s just tomato . Yuma Tsukumo , accompanied by Astral and Tori Meadows , is eating his trademark riceball . Tori complains about his gulping , and Astral looks at Yuma in his usual serious way . Suddenly , a crow grabs the riceball from Yuma ' s hands and flies away . Yuma , hungry , falls down dramatically . Tombo Tillbitty kneels down to Yuma , offering him some vegetables ( cucumbers ) to eat . Yuma openly enjoys eating them , and Tori takes a small bite , and tells Tombo she really likes it , who in turn turns all red and blushes . Yuma , happy to have had some food after all , pats Tombo on the shoulder , thanking him and introducing himself , but Tombo ' s still blushing . He nervously introduces himself . He tells Yuma and Tori about his dream of creating a tomato theme park in which everything is about tomatoes , Tomatotopia , and says he wants to make Tori the " image girl , " who immediately , albeit quite shocked , think of herself lying between tomatoes in a commercial - like fashion . Astral makes his own interpretation , with Tori in a tomato costume saying she ' s a tomato girl ( in the dub , Tori says " Welcome to Tomatotopia " and Tombo wants to make her a greeter ) . Yuma , angered by the idea , says it definitely won ' t happen , and challenges Tombo to take a Heart Piece and make it harder for him to win the tournament and the wish . Tombo , albeit quite surprised by Yuma response , accepts , and performing his Dueling ritual , Yuma declares it ' s a Duel . Now their Duel has begun , Tombo takes one of the tons on his back of , puts a lid on it , and puts it next to Yuma , explaining the rules of his so - called Basket Rule . If a player declares battle , they have to eat a vegetable . They may grab 1 at random from the ton , and if they decide to eat it , they may attack . Yuma protests , but Dextra and Nistro appear , and after some questioning from all sides , they grant permission for the Basket Rule . Tombo immediately activates a Field Spell Card , " Tomato Paradise " . All of the surroundings turn into a fairy - tale - like land with tomatoes floating about . He Summons " Tomatoknight " . Using his Field Spell , he can summon a " Tomato Token " . He then also activates " Tomatapult " hitting Yuma in the face with the token , for a rotten tomato - effect . Yuma Summons " Achacha Archer " , uses its effect , but the vegetable he grabs is a special type of tomato ( an " eggplant tomato " ) , which Yuma doesn ' t like , so he doesn ' t attack , which both Tori and Astral are surprised by , and Sets a card . Tombo plays " Tomato in Tomato " , and uses its effect summon a second one , effectively calling out more " Tomato Tokens " . He uses " Tough Tomato " to raise his Tomato ' s ATK by 500 . " Tomatoknight " attacks and destroys " Achacha Archer " . Then , Housaka attacks with " Tomato in Tomato " and inflicts direct damage to Yuma . Because he took direct damage , Yuma activates his Trap Card to take control of " Tomato in Tomato " . Because of this , Tombo can ' t attack with his other monsters . Instead , he uses " Tomatapult " to blast the 2 " Tomato Tokens " at Yuma . Yuma attempts a reversal with " Chachaka Archer , " Summoned by Tributing the monster he took from Tombo , using " Blustering WInds " . However , Yuma picks another special tomato ( a " cucumber tomato " ) , and refuses to attack . Yuma finally admits that he hates tomatoes and quotes that they are disgusting . Tori and Astral become embarrassed because of Yuma ' s phobia . Tombo gets angry about Yuma ' s dislike of tomatoes . He take his turn , summoning a new monster to Xyz Summon his " Tomato King . " Consuming an Overlay Unit , the cute little monster becomes a huge monster with twice its attack , but what would be a finishing move from Tombo ' s side is deflected by Yuma ' s Trap Card . Yuma takes his turn , Summons " Gagaga Magician " , and changes its Level to 3 . Astral then informs him that in order to win the Duel , Yuma must eat a vegetable . Once again , Yuma picks a vegetable at random , and receives a " carrato " ( " tomarrot " in the dub ) which Tombo describes as a mix between a carrot and a tomato . When Yuma refuses to eat it , Tori says that if Yuma loses to Tombo , and the latter ' s wish comes true , the foods Tomatotopia makes will be tomato salad , tomato pizza , and tomato riceballs and she will force feed Yuma every single day . As a result , Yuma reluctantly eats the tomato in one bite , but ultimately likes it , much to his surprise and the happiness of Tori and Tombo . He goes on to overlay his " Gagaga " monsters to Xyz Summon his new Xyz Monster , " Melomelody the Brass Djinn " , eating a tomato in the process and using " Gagaga Girl ' s " effect now that it was overlaid , lowering " Tomato King " to 0 ATK . Attacking , Yuma destroys the monster , and using " Melody ' s " effect , fully destroys it and Tombo ' s LP . Tombo and Yuma have a few finishing words , and Yuma gets a Heart Piece from him . Yuma states that if he hadn ' t had this duel with Tombo , he would never had liked tomatoes in the first place . The two bid farewell . Featured Duel : Yuma Tsukumo vs . Tombo Tillbitty .
