E ' Rah declares that her " Anti - Hope , God of Despair " is immortal as it is re - Summoned with 5000 ATK . Cathy protests , and Tetsuo is shocked that the 5000 ATK monster was Summoned again . Yuma , with 1 LP , holds up a card , claiming that they have one hope left that the others protected with their lives . E ' Rah , with 100 LP , asks what it is as the symbols of the other elements of the Astral World appear around Yuma . Yuma and Astral begin to glow , and Yuma asks if E ' Rah doesn ' t get it ; now they are truly releasing the power of the four elements . Astral declares that the legend of the Astral World rises again , and that E ' Rah ' s doom is at hand . Astral and Yuma close their eyes , and he tells Yuma that he can feel his soul . Yuma replies that he can feel Astral ' s , and everyone ' s life . They both cry that they ' re gonna jet , and they spiral into the air , chanting , " When hearts linked by true bonds merge , the legendary power is reborn ! Xyz Change ZEXAL ! " They link their hands , and then appear on the field in a fused form , much to E ' Rah , Kotori and Tokunosuke ' s shock . Yuma and Astral then proceed to activate a Quick - Play Spell Card , " Shining Horizon " , since a monster they controlled destroyed an opponent ' s monster in battle , allowing them to draw a card and then activate it if it ' s a Spell Card . E ' Rah scoffs at their last hope being a draw , but Yuma and Astral reply that for the ultimate Duelist , all Duels are preordained . Even the cards they draw are created by the Duelist . E ' Rah gasps , " Created ? ! " as the card on the top of Yuma ' s Deck glows , and they declare a Shining Draw . They activate a Rank - Up Spell , " Shining Hope Road " , transforming " Number s " in the Graveyard into " Shining Numbers " that he can then use to Xyz Summon . " " , already at Rank 5 , appears , and both " " and " " appear , transformed into " Shining Numbers " and Ranked - Up to Rank 5 and 9 respectively . E ' Rah snaps that they can ' t Xyz Summon as long as " Anti - Hope " is on the field , but to her shock , ZEXAL is absorbing the three " Shining Numbers " . Yuma and Astral declare that when they Special Summon " Hope ZEXAL " , their opponent cannot activate effects . They tells " " to come forth - and as Kotori observes , " they " are the monster , wielding a sword of light . They explain that " Hope ZEXAL " gains 500 ATK for each Rank of its Overlay Unit s , including the Ranks gained by " Spider Shark " and " Titanic Galaxy " ; 5 , 5 , and 9 , for a total of 9500 ATK . The blade of " Hope ZEXAL ' s " sword swells until it is over twice their size , and they attack , telling E ' Rah that they ' re coming . E ' Rah can only repeat the ATK value as Yuma and Astral tells E ' Rah to feel the boundless power of hope ; this is the creation of a new age . They slice " Anti - Hope " in half with " Hope Sword ZEXAL Slash " , reducing E ' Rah ' s LP to zero . E ' Rah groans that it ' s impossible , protesting that she can ' t lose . She screams as the shadows making up her substance dissipate , and Yuma and Astral ' s eyes widen as they defuse . Astral ' s boulder reappears and E ' Rah ' s graveyard vanishes , and the Numbers Club land on the grassy surface . Yuma observes that E ' Rah ' s world is gone , and Astral smiles . He declares that they did it ; they won . Kotori cheers for Yuma , and Tokunosuke cries that they aren ' t going to die . Orbs of light begin drifting from the Astral World , and one vanishes into Haruto ' s chest . Orbital 7 cries that Haruto is awake as the younger boy stirs , and he asks where he is . Two more orbs settle beside Yuma , expanding into Shark and Kaito as Yuma removes his D - Gazer . Yuma cries their names , and Shark asks where they are , as Kaito asks if they came back to life . Shark turns to Yuma , noting that he won , and Kaito comments that he knew that Yuma would win . Yuma replies that it wasn ' t just him ; it was everyone ' s power . Shark looks up to see another orb of light settling in front of them , and Kyoji Yagumo reforms from the orb , his hair now falling over his eyes . Shark notes that E ' Rah held Yagumo ' s soul captive , and Yagumo sadly notes that he heard their voices ; they saved him , despite what he did to them . Shark holds out his hand , telling Yagumo to stand up . Yuma notes that it was thanks to Yagumo that they beat E ' Rah , and Astral agrees , though Kaito merely scoffs . Yagumo whispers their names , and Shark tells him that he ' s their friend too . Yagumo is struck by the reactions , closing his eyes as tears leak from them and he takes Shark ' s hand . They ' re interrupted by Haruto calling for Kaito , and Luna and Orbital 7 happily watch them reunite . Haruto cries that Kaito saved him , and Kaito hugs him , noting that Haruto woke up from his nightmare . Tears fall from Kaito ' s eyes as Luna observes that even Haruto ' s soul has returned to normal . She and Orbital notice a rumble , as the Astral World and Earth drift apart . Bubbles of light surround Cathy , Tetsuo , Tokunosuke , and Takashi , returning them to Heartland . Only Kotori , Shark , Yagumo , Kaito and Yuma remain with Astral as he explains that it appears that they to must part . His mission is complete , and the world has returned to normal , and they may return to it . Yuma closes his eyes as Astral asks them to return their " Numbers " to him .
