Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL - Episode 131 " Power Play " , known as " Vector ’ s Scorn - The Sundered Seven Emperors ! ! " in the Japanese version , is the one - hundred and thirty - first episode of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL " anime . It first aired in Japan on November 24 , 2013 and on Hulu on November 10 , 2014 . Summary . Nash regains consciousness , finding himself chained in a sphere of darkness , lightning cracking outside of it . He wonders where he is , but then remembers he was captured by Girag . He realizes the spell used to trap him is Don Thousand ' s power ( Nash does not mention Thousand in the dub ) and wonders why Girag would have it . A screen materializes in front of him and he sees Dumon and Marin confronting Vector . Marin repeats Vector ' s claim that he plans to defeat them and steal the power from their souls . Nash says the names of both of his comrades , while Dumon asks Vector if he ' s really capable of such a feat ( in the dub , Dumon says Vector has lost his mind , but the traitorous Barian Emperor interrupts him before he can continue ) . Vector responds that of course he can do that - as he ' s revived Don Thousand . Vector cackles as dark power surrounds him and Thousand materializes behind him . Marin mutters that this can ' t be , while Dumon simply asks " what ? " ( Dumon ' s reaction is cut from the dub ) . Thousand introduces himself as the God of the Barian World ( in the dub , Thousand says the two Emperors standing before him must be surprised to see him ) . Nash is surprised Vector revived him . Thousand tells them it ' s time for them to become his slaves - they ' ll be the " food " that helps restore his power . Dumon asks why he would need their power if he ' s the god of the Barian World . Thousand insists it is their destiny - the Seven Barian Emperors were the chosen souls that were meant to revive his power . Vector says they were intended as Thousand ' s " food " from the very beginning ( in the dub , Vector reassures his fellow Emperors that they will be part of the winning team for once ) . Marin points out that that applies to Vector too - he is one of the Seven Emperors , after all . Vector insists that it doesn ' t as Thousand ' s form dissipates . Yuma , Astral , Alito and Tori stand on the deck of the Different Dimension Airship . They see something glowing up ahead . Tori asks what it is and Alito explains that its a dimensional crack - and beyond it lies the Barian World . Yuma simply repeats " beyond it " and looks pensive ( " That means it ' s go time " in the dub ) . Back in the throne room , Vector tells his opponents that this Duel will be conducted as a Battle Royal ( in the dub , Vector comments that a 2 on 1 Duel seems unfair to his opponents ; he adds that he knows the end of this story and they won ' t like it ) . He takes the first turn , drawing the Continuous Spell Card " Don Thousand ' s Throne " . He cackles , saying an interesting card has arrived ( in the dub , Vector tells the other two Emperors he will keep them in suspense and will make this Duel quick and painful ) . He activate s it immediately . An ornate throne appears behind him and Vector seats himself in it . He says he could just sit here and beat them down leisurely , but he thinks that would be rude . Instead , he says he ' ll equip this card to himself . Tentacles wave out from the throne and ensnare him , giving him a new layer of armor . A red eye also opens in the center of his chest . Marin asks what ' s going on , while Nash mutters that he feels a strange sensation as more lightning cracks outside his spherical prison . Vector activates the effect of the " Umbral Horror Ghost " in his hand as it contains two copies . This lets him Special Summon both of them in Attack Position . He does so before proceeding to Normal Summon " Umbral Horror Will o ' the Wisp " . As it was Summoned , its effect also activates , letting Vector change its Level to that of another " Umbral Horror " monster he control s . It becomes Level 2 - the same as both " Ghosts " . He overlays his three Level 2 DARK monsters to Xyz Summon " " in Attack Position , referring to it as the " messenger of deepest darkness " ( in the dub , Vector asks Dumon and Marin if they ' ve forgotten about it already ) . He tells " Dark Mist " to show them its true form . It morphs into a puppet - like version of its avatar , its eyes shining yellow . Dumon seems to recognize it , but Vector asks if this is the first time he ' s seen it - the being that killed Astral once ( " the fun Astral " in the dub ) . Marin points out that Vector partnered with him in the past ( in the dub , Marin says Yuma and Astral had destroyed Number 96 in the past ) . Vector says that ' s true , but informs them after Number 96 and Astral killed one another , he absorbed the remaining power of Number 96 , making it his puppet . He claims they will be devoured and become his puppets quite soon too . He Set s a card to end his turn , reminding his opponents that no one may attack on their first turn during a Battle Royal ( in the dub , Vector remarks that Dumon and Marin becoming his puppets should be something to look forward to ) . Marin ' s eyes narrow and she vows not to lose - for Nash ' s sake as well as her own ( in the dub , Marin replies that she will take Vector down ) . Marin Normal Summons " Blizzard Thunderbird " and activates " Blizzard Vision " , explaining that it lets her target a WATER monster she controls and Special Summon this card as a monster with the same Level , Attribute and Type , but 0 ATK and DEF . She does so , then overlays her two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon " " in Attack Position . Vector isn ' t surprised to see her ace right away , but calls her monster " cute " just the same . Marin Sets a card to end her turn . Dumon tells Vector that they will show him their own power ( in the dub , Dumon swears to make Vector pay for his treachery ) . Dumon Normal Summons " Star Seraph Scout " , explaining that he can Special Summon another " Star Seraph " monster from his hand when he does . He Special Summons " Star Seraph Sage " , then activates the effect of " Sage " , letting him send a Spell Card in his hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon another " Star Seraph " monster from his hand . He sends " Celestial Rage " to the Graveyard to Special Summon " Star Seraph Sword " . He overlays his three Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon " " in Attack Position . Dumon activates the effect of " Sentry " , detach ing an Overlay Unit to halve the ATK of a monster his opponent controls and negate its effects . " Sentry " fires its bow , impaling " Dark Mist " with an arrow , its ATK falling to 50 . Vector points out he only dropped the ATK by 50 . Marin activates the effect of " Ragnazero " , detaching an Overlay Unit as the ATK of a monster was reduced - this effect will destroy that monster . Marin declares " Doomsday Demoliton " as " Rangazero " hacks " Dark Mist " apart with its scythes . Dumon activates the Quick - Play Spell Card " Star Seraph Starscream " , inflicting 1000 damage to Vector as a monster Vector controlled was destroyed when Dumon controls a " Star Seraph " monster . A shining pillar of energy blasts Vector backwards , crushing him against the stairs , cracking them in the process . Dumon and Marin asked how Vector liked the taste of their teamwork . Vector laughs and rises to his feet , saying they did get him ( Vector ' s response is cut from the dub ) , while Marin reveals that when the effect of " Ragnazero " destroys a monster , she can draw a card . Dumon Sets a card and moves to end his turn , but Vector interrupts him , activating his face - down " Nightmare Xyz " . He explains that during the End Phase of a turn that a " Number " monster he controls was destroyed , he can target a Rank 4 or lower DARK Fiend - Type Xyz Monster from his Extra Deck by using DARK monsters in the Graveyard as the Overlay Units , their Levels automatically being changed to the Rank of the chosen Xyz Monster . He Special Summons two " Ghosts " and " Will o ' the Wisp " , changing their Levels to 2 . He overlays them to Special Summon " " in Attack Position . He reveals that upon its Summon , " Manipulator of Souls " can equip itself with a " Number " monster in his Graveyard , which will prevent it from being destroyed by battle or card effect . " Manipulator of Souls " lowers crimson strings into the Graveyard portal , pulling out the puppet form of " Dark Mist " . Marin demands to know what he ' s trying to do ( in the dub , Marin says she and Dumon can take whatever Vector can throw at them ) , but Vector instead activates the effect of " Don Thousand ' s Throne " . At the end of a turn during which he received damage , his Life Points are restored by that same amount . He floats in the air , surrounded in an orb of red power . The tentacles on his armor absorb the energy , transferring it into him as he yells that the power is overflowing . As this happens , Nash screams in pain , the tentacles binding him glowing the same red . Vector thanks Nash for the meal as his Life Points return to 4000 , then drops to the ground and reveals that he can now activate the effect of " Manipulator of Souls " as he gained Life Points . As Vector gained Life Points , the effect of " Manipulator of Souls " activates , increasing its ATK by that same value and also damaging one of his opponents by said amount . The ATK of " Manipulator of Souls " becomes 1000 and Vector tells Marin to take that damage . As he yells " Licking Lash " , " Manipulator of Souls " strikes Marin with its lizard - like tongue , throwing her off her feet and dropping her Life Points to 3000 . Dumon yells her name , but Marin quickly gets up , saying that that much damage was nothing . Both Emperors piece together Vector ' s strategy : when he gains Life Points , that amount is also inflicted as damage to either of them . Vector thinks to himself that this strategy will drain Nash ' s energy , though his opponents don ' t know that yet . He asks them what they think of his " invincible " monster . Dumon says they can ' t defeat him at all unless they do so in one turn . Vector laughs at Dumon thinking they ' ll defeat him at all , as he is equal to a God . He draws and then orders " Manipulator of Souls " to attack " Sentry " . Dumon is surprised as " Manipulator of Souls " , shoots beams from its eyes , which " Sentry " spins its bow around to deflect back . " Manipulator of Souls " is engulfed in an explosion and Vector is thrown backwards onto the stairs again , his Life Points now at 2500 . Dumon asks why he ' d destroy his own card , but Vector reminds him that as long as " Manipulator of Souls " has a " Number " equipped , it can ' t be destroyed . Vector activates the Quick - Play Spell Card " Card of Endurance " which inflicts 1000 damage to him when he has taken damage to begin with . Electricity engulfs him and he falls to the ground again , his Life Points now 1500 . " Card of Endurance " also lets him draw a card . Vector Sets two cards and ends his turn . At the End Phase , the effect of " Don Thousand ' s Throne " activates , so he gains 2500 Life Points as Nash screams in pain and the ATK of " Manipulator of Souls " rises to 3500 . He targets Marin for the damage again as " Manipulator of Souls " strikes her with its tongue ( in the dub , Vector remarks that making Marin suffer is his new hobby ) . Her Life Points fall to 500 as Nash screams her name ( in the dub , Nash yells , " No ! " ) and she ' s thrown backwards again . Vector laughs as his eyes glow red and he tells Marin it ' s appropriate that one whose head was always held so high is crushed now . Dumon runs to her and asks Vector why he ' s only attacking her . Vector just cackles and Marin lays her hand on Dumon ' s shoulder to help her rise to her feet . She stares angrily at Vector ( Dumon helping Marin is cut from the dub ) , who is pleased at how thoroughly he ' s humiliated her as an enraged Nash yells Vector ' s name . He says her Life Points are only 500 now , with just a bit more , she ' ll be sent to Hell - for sure this time . Marin asks what he means by " for sure this time " ( in the dub , Vector remarks that he will defeat Marin again , just like old times ; Marin simply repeats " again ? " ) . Vector asks if she doesn ' t remember yet . Marin repeats , " remember ? " and Vector says he ' ll tell them the shocking truth then . Using Ray ' s voice ( in the dub , Vector uses his regular voice ) , he reveals to them that it was he who killed Marin and Nash in the Barian World . At that time , Vector had taken Marin hostage over a cliff somewhere near Don Thousand ' s palace . Nash tells him to give up and release her and that he would spare Vector ' s life if he did . Marin urges Nash to stop worrying about her and just defeat Vector ( in the dub , Marin tells Nash that Vector does not deserve any mercy ) . As red lightning strikes around the Barian World , Vector tells Nash not to make a move . Calling them both disgusting , he boasts that he ' ll send Marin to Hell now . Raising his arm , his hand glows with pink energy as he activates a Trap Card - " Giant Sky Sword " . Purple energy flares and drops straight down past the cliff , opening a portal . He claims the card will absorb them and render them unable to climb out of the abyss . Nash tells him to stop , but Vector throws Marin from the cliff . Yelling her name , Nash quickly follows . Vector calls him an idiot ( in the dub , Vector did not say anything at this point ) . As he reaches her and grabs her hand , he says he can ' t move his body freely anymore ( in the dub , Nash reassures Marin that he will never leave her no matter what lies straight ahead ) . They scream as the abyss absorbs them . Covered in light blue energy , the two stream through the portal at high speeds . Nash mutters that they can ' t keep this up ( in the dub , Nash asks where they are ; Marin says she isn ' t sure ) . They suddenly find themselves underwater . Abyss appears before them , kneeling . He says he ' s come to pick their " great king " up ( in the dub , Abyss is honored to see his lord again ) . Nash asks who he is and he introduces himself as Abyss - the one who used to assist him . Nash can ' t remember that and Abyss adds that their souls must find new vessels in the human world . Nash asks if they ' ll become human . Abyss confirms this and adds that their memories will be sealed until they meet Abyss once again . Abyss vanishes in a puff of bubbles . Nash says he understands that he ' s counting on Abyss . Marin resumes a light blue energy form , while Nash resumes a purple one . On Earth , two doctors and a nurse are at the bedsides of Reginald and Rio Kastle . The devices monitoring their heart rates have just flatlined . One doctor asks the other how the kids ' parents are . The other responds that its no good - they just died as well . The first doctor instructs a nurse to take the kids to the mortuary and contact the authorities . The nurse responds that she will , but suddenly their heart rates return and both kids open their eyes ( the hospital staff mentioning the Kastle family ' s deaths are cut from the dub ) . The first doctor asks what happened , with the second adding that they ' ve been revived . In the present , Marin hangs her head . Dumon mutters her name and Marin says she remembers everything now . Dumon asks why Vector would do such a thing ( Dumon ' s quote is cut from the dub ) . Vector responds it ' s quite simple - he doesn ' t like them . He says that ever since meeting Nash , he has disliked him . It was fate that the two of them would be unable to coexist . He claims he endured everything at first ( in the dub , Vector says every word Nash spoke annoyed him and he knew that one of them had to be gone for good ) . He didn ' t kill them right away . He explains he made the " point system " instead . Dumon asks what he means and Vector says that each time Nash irritated him , he got 1 point . When he reached 1 , 000 , 000 points , Vector would kill him . Before that , he endured everything . He adds that each time Nash spoke , he got 1 point and also received a point each time he did anything at all . Using Ray ' s voice again , he adds it didn ' t take long for the points to accumulate ( in the dub , Vector also adds that when he lashed out at Nash , Marin made the perfect bait ) . Dumon disdainfully mutters Vector ' s name ( in the dub , Dumon says , " You fiend ! " ) Vector says he never expected the two of them to still be alive though . Shaking with anger , Marin says they were revived in human bodies and lived as Reginald and Rio Kastle . They met Yuma and his comrades and forged a deep bond . When their Barian memories returned , Nash continued his mission , suffering in the process because he and Marin would have to fight their best friends . Vector calls it a refreshing situation ( " Oh my , however did poor little Nash manage ? " in the dub ) . Enraged , Marin yells Vector ' s name ( " I ' ve had enough of you , Vector ! " in the dub ) , her eyes glowing bright red and light blue energy spiraling around her . Back on the airship , the occupants near that dimensional crack that leads to the Barian World . Suddenly , " " appears in front of the ship . It grasps the deck , stopping the airship . On it stands Girag . Marin asks Nash to lend her his power and performs a Chaos Draw , drawing " Rank - Up - Magic - The Seventh One " . She activates it , Ranking Up " Ragnazero " and performing a Chaos Xyz Evolution to Special Summon " " in Attack Position . She vows not to let Vector live and adds that she will " freeze " him ( in the dub , Marin tells Vector that she will take the pain she suffered and throw it back at him ) .
