Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL - Episode 130 " Fists of Fury , Part 2 " , known as " Fiery Fist of Awakening ! ! Alito ' s Time of Revival " in the Japanese version , is the one - hundred and thirtieth episode of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL " anime . It first aired in Japan on November 17 , 2013 and on Hulu on November 3 , 2014 . Summary . Astral ponders what they can do next . Thinking that " " contains Alito ' s memories , while " " contains Don Thousand ' s curse , he comes up with a plan . He tells Yuma he understands now . Yuma asks if he thinks they can really lift the curse . Astral continues that Thousand himself said that removing the Legendary " Numbers " from the ruins was what unsealed his power . Yuma wonders what his father has to do with all of this ( in the dub , Yuma is upset that he and Astral helped Thousand regain his power and calls himself and Astral the " worst heroes ever " ) . Astral responds that he predicted everything that would happen to he and Yuma - and Astral did not . He believes in him enough to bet that he did nothing that would put them at a disadvantage . Astral believes that Yuma ' s father intended for them to fight the Seven Barian Emperors and lift the curse . If that is what Kazuma intended , then the Legendary " Numbers " must have the power to destroy Don Thousand . Astral tells Yuma that the Legendary " Numbers " and " Over - Hundred Number " cards are contradictions in the existence of the Barian Emperors . Yuma asks if the thinks they can lift the curse by defeating " Comet Cestus " with " Lion Heart " . Yuma is excited now , but Astral points out that they don ' t have enough monsters to Xyz Summon " Lion Heart " , nor do they have anything else on the field . Yuma says he understands - everything depends on his next draw . Looking up at Tori , he promises to save her . She mutters his name , but tells him to hurry and save both her and Alito ( in the dub , Tori knows that Yuma won ' t let her down ) . Yuma tells her to leave it him and draws , yelling " kattobingu ! " . Seeing he ' s drawn " Rainbow Kuriboh " , he tells Astral his feelings have arrived . He Normal Summon s it , then overlays his three Level 1 monster s to Xyz Summon " Lion Heart " in Attack Position . As it ' s Summoned , it roars , waves of energy streaming towards " Comet Cestus " , who roars in turn and blasts waves right back . Alito says " this Number " ( " I remember that Number ! " in the dub ) , and finally the two waves collide and Alito starts to remember his past . He hears children chanting his name . Alito has just won another match at the colosseum in Spartan City . In the hallway , children gather all around him , giddy to meet him . One of them asks how he got so strong . Hoisting one child onto this shoulder and patting another on the head , Alito says he ' s told them before - it ' s them that give him his power . Later , he wanders the streets of the city and is called out to by a cloaked man . The man tells him be to careful and Alito asks who is . The man responds that his life is in danger . Alito asks what he means and the man informs him that the emperor is jealous of his chivalrous spirit as his eye glows red . Alito calls the man an idiot and adds that the emperor is his friend . The man says " we ' ll see " ( " Do not be so certain " in the dub ) and flees , appearing to float away around a corner . Alito gives chase but can find no trace of the man . Later that night , Alito stands alone , a card in his hand . He still finds the man ' s words to be ridiculous and believes that the " Number " will protect him as it always does . As he looks at the " Lion Heart " card , it begins to glow with blue energy . Armed soldiers suddenly run out and surround him completely , brandishing pikes . An ornately - dressed man approaches him and opens up a scroll . He informs Alito he is under arrest for the killing of several people ( in the dub , Alito was accused of treason ) . He is imprisoned quickly , despite his insistence that there ' s been a mistake . Later , he faces his execution . He kneels chained in the colosseum as the gathered crowd berates him with " murderer " , " liar " and other catcalls . The cloaked man reappears , glowing with energy and brandishing a shadowy scythe . The man tells him he held a grudge to the people here and to the world - and he will die trapped in the obsession of that grudge . Alito thinks to himself that he agrees - he cannot believe in anyone . He looks up to the top of the seating , where the emperor sits on his throne . He curses the emperor for betraying him and vows to cause catastrophe when he ' s revived as the executioner ' s axe falls ( in the dub , Alito was exiled instead of executed , as stated in previous episodes ) . Back in the present , Alito is shaking with pain and asks what that vision was just now . Yuma wonders if those were his past memories and Astral says that " Lion Heart " and " Comet Cestus " are resonating and that he was correct - the two battling will cause something to happen . Alito is still glowing with Don Thousand ' s aura though . Yuma orders " Lion Heart " to attack " Comet Cestus " . When " Lion Heart " battle s , its effect will prevent its destruction and inflict the battle damage to both players . Alito activates the effect of the " " equip ped to " Comet Cestus " , send ing it to the Graveyard to halve the battle damage he would take . " Lion Heart " and " Comet Cestus " each throw a punch , which rebound off one another . The armor of " Comet Cestus " vanishes and Alito is thrown backwards , his Life Points falling to 2050 . Yuma is also thrown back and his Life Points fall to 0 . Tori screams his name , but Astral activates the effect of " Lion Heart " - he can detach an Overlay Unit to return his Life Points to 100 . Astral declares " Reviving Jolt " and " Lion Heart " shoots a bolt of lightning at Yuma . He screams in pain , but his heartbeat returns ( the heartbeat ' s sound is edited out in the dub ) . Tori screams his name again , but Yuma ' s Life Points go back up to 100 . Yuma rises to his feet , but says that having his Life Points hit 0 caused a great impact . It was successful though - Don Thousand ' s power leaves Alito , with Thousand yelling " impossible ! " ( " My power ! My control of Alito is fading ! " in the dub ) Alito rises to his feet , seeming confused as to what ' s going on . He recalls Don Thousand appearing to him and Girag when they spoke with Vector , but that ' s all . Yuma says Thousand was manipulating him . Alito asks if Yuma saved him from the curse , then . Seeing Tori in the vines , Alito ' s hand glows with the blue energy and the vines vanish , with Tori lightly falling to the ground in a sphere of blue energy . Yuma is excited to have the old Alito back and begins to move towards him , but Alito tells him not to come any closer . He insists the battle isn ' t over yet and he is still Alito of the Seven Barian Emperors . Yuma says the curse has been lifted . Alito says that ' s true , but Yuma also saw how Thousand manipulated him . He was filled with hatred when he died and was reborn as a Barian - his home is still the Barian World ( Alito does not mention his own death in the dub ) . He says he cannot sit and let Yuma and Astral by him if they intend to destroy it . Alito adds that their previous Duels truly were fun - but that that kind of Duel cannot happen anymore . His body glows with red energy now , as he do his eyes . Alito draws and proceeds to activate the effect of the " Rhapsody in Berserk " in his Graveyard . He can send a monster from his hand to the Graveyard to Special Summon it . He sends " Battlin ' Boxer Sparrer " to the Graveyard to revive " Rhapsody in Berserk " . As it ' s Summoned , the Number 80 emanates out and Alito is briefly in pain . His eyes glow red again though and he activates " Rank - Up - Magic Barian ' s Force " . Yuma and Astral are shocked , but Alito performs a Chaos Xyz Evolution and Ranks Up " Rhapsody in Berserk " , chanting " the melody that calms the soul , the God of Integrity that repairs the world ! " He Special Summons " " in Attack Position . The other effect of " Barian ' s Force " activates , detaching the Overlay Units from " Lion Heart " and attach ing them to " Requiem in Berserk " . For each of them , the ATK of " Lion Heart " decreases by 300 for each , so its ATK becomes 0 . Astral says he can ' t use its effect to revive themselves again now . Alito activates the effect of " Requiem in Berserk " , detaching a Chaos Overlay Unit to banish all cards in Yuma ' s Spell & Trap Card Zone , so their Set card is banished . Alito activates the other effect of " Requiem in Berserk " , which lets him equip it to " Comet Cestus " and increase its ATK by 2000 , giving it 4800 ATK and a new set of armor . Astral wonders why he ' s done this - the effect of " Lion Heart " will just inflict more damage to him now . Alito clarifies that " Requiem in Berserk " will also negate the effects of any monster that " Comet Cestus " battles . Yuma yells " what ! " ( " no way ! " in the dub ) , while Alito declares his attack . Astral tells Yuma to use his Trap Card . Alito asks if he ' s mad - there are no other cards on their field . Yuma responds that he ' s right - he ' s activating the effect of the " Dimensional U - Turn " in his Graveyard . By banishing it , he can banish one of his own monsters . He banishes " Lion Heart " . As it vanishes , " Comet Cestus " punches thin air . Alito insists this means nothing and declares a direct attack instead . Yuma activates the effect of the " Rainbow Kuriboh " in his Graveyard , Special Summoning it as a direct attack was declared . It appears in Defense Position . Alito is annoyed , but orders " Comet Cestus " to attack it , with it being banished via its own effect afterwards . Yuma thanks " Rainbow Kuriboh " and Alito angrily declares the end of his turn . Yuma reveals that at the End Phase , the monster banished by " Dimensional U - Turn " returns . " Lion Heart " reappears and Yuma sighs in relief . Yuma asks Astral what they should do - they have broken the curse , but Alito is still consumed by hatred . He adds it ' s almost as if there ' s another curse on him ( in the dub , Yuma says it ' s no wonder why Thousand wanted Alito on his side ) . Astral remembers the souls tied to the ruins and adds that they were noble and pure ones . It would have been more appropriate for their souls to go to the Astral World when they died rather than the Barian World . He wonders how such noble souls could become trapped by hatred and become Barians . He suddenly realizes that Don Thousand could have artificially created the hatred . Yuma asks what he ' s mumbling about and Astral comes to the conclusion that they have to destroy " Comet Cestus " using " Lion Heart " . Yuma incredulously asks how they ' re supposed to do that . Astral yells that they have to - if they do , they should learn more of Alito ' s true past . Yuma asks if Astral isn ' t just like him now . Astral says that ' s not the case at all , prompting an angry snort from Yuma ( in the dub , Astral simply mutters , " Frightening , " which angers Yuma ) . Astral reminds him that everything is riding on this next draw . Yuma draws " Emperor ' s Armor " and Astral tells him to go . Yuma activates it , equipping it to " Lion Heart " , which will cause its ATK to become the same as the monster it battles . Astral muses that Don Thousand was trying to protect the " Over - Hundred Number " cards from the Legendary " Numbers " - that was why he cursed them ( not mentioned in the dub ) . Astral calls this card to the answer to that problem as " Lion Heart " is encased in golden armor . Tori cheers both Yuma and Astral on . Yuma orders " Lion Heart " to attack " Comet Cestus " . Both monsters punch one another in the face , chunks of smashed armor flying around . Alito wonders if they are aiming for a tie as the two monsters continue to trade blows . Alito reminds them that the equipped " Requiem in Berserk " negates the effects of " Lion Heart " . Yuma counters that the effects of his own Equip Card aren ' t negated though - both monsters will be destroyed ( not mentioned in the dub ) . Alito declares that he can ' t let that happen and activates the effect of the equipped " Requiem in Berserk " . He can send it to the Graveyard to prevent the destruction of the equipped monster . The monsters exchange one more punch are engulfed in explosions . Yuma declares that he ' s activating another effect of " Emperor ' s Armor " . He can send it to the Graveyard to prevent the destruction of " Lion Heart " . Yuma reveals that if he does this during the Battle Phase , he can switch the ATK of his monster with that of his opponent ' s and attack once again . Alito declares " impossible " ( " This can ' t be ! " in the dub ) , while Yuma and Astral order " Lion Heart " to attack again . The punch takes " Comet Cestus " off into the sky and Alito has more visions of his past . The man has just told Alito he ' s under arrest for killing several people . From a nearby rooftop , the cloaked man watches , smiling as his one visible eye glows red . Alito is taken before the emperor , who insists that Alito would never do something like what he ' s being accused of - he is like a brother to him . The eyes of every guard are glowing red . The emperor adds that if he were to die , he ' d want Alito to be the next emperor . He orders Alito ' s release . The cloaked man appears from behind the throne , saying that that will be unnecessary . The emperor asks who the man is . He informs him he is Don Thousand as waves of energy emanate from him . Thousand resumes his true form and towers over Alito , calling himself the God of the Barian World . Thousand says he need Alito ' s power - his unbreakable soul and endless fighting spirit will become Thousand ' s shield - he cannot allow that power to be taken to the Astral World . He throws " " , which burrows itself into Alito ' s chest , causing great pain . Thousand explains that this will alter Alito ' s memories , making him believe he was betrayed by the people he believed in . That way , hatred and anger will remain in his heart and he will be revived as a Barian . The emperor gives the order to begin preparations for Alito ' s execution . Back in the present , Alito ' s Life Points fall to 0 and he resumes his human form . Yuma yells Alito ' s name and rushes over to him . Addressing both Yuma and Astral , Alito mutters " my memories " . Astral says he ' s seen his real memories now - they were rewritten with hatred so his soul would go to the Barian World . Sitting up . Alito says he ' s always been manipulated by lies . Yuma mutters his name and Alito adds he ' s done irreversible things to Yuma ' s friends . Astral insists he was just being used - when Don Thousand ' s power was exhausted and sealed in the ruins , the last of his power roamed the land freely . He enacted an elaborate plan to revive himself ( in the dub , Astral explains that the way Thousand acted was due to the combination of the experiences of everyone else present ; Alito ' s were not done out of his free will ) . Alito comments he was tangled in that trap ( in the dub , Alito says this doesn ' t change what he did ) . Yuma asks if Alito will lend them his power to help them defeat Don Thousand . Alito rises to his feet and says he was caught in Thousand ' s trap , but he ' s still the warrior of the Seven Barian Emperors . Yuma thinks the others would understand . Alito insists they must defeat Yuma no matter what , but before they do that , they can cooperate to destroy Don Thousand . Astral calls this a big step and adds that if pasts of the other Seven Barian Emperors were also altered , they can be freed as well ( in the dub , Astral says Thousand will not take this defeat lightly , and will strike back at the other Emperors ) . Tori says they have to hurry and find Don Thousand . Alito says he resides inside Vector , with Yuma asking where Vector is now . Alito says they should head to the Barian World for a clue . Astral agrees . In a dimensional tunnel , Thousand tells Vector that Alito has regained control of himself . He adds that they have to hurry - Vector needs to gather the other Emperors and absorb their power . Vector says that was intention anyway ( in the dub , Vector is the one who says that Alito was defeated ) . Dumon and Marin appear in the Barian throne room and are immediately greeted by Vector lounging on the throne . He says he was waiting for them and steps forward . Marin asks why he ' s here . Crouching , Vector responds that it ' s now time to combine their power into one . Dumon says their powers are already combined . Vector chides him for not understanding - he means he ' s going to defeat them here and take their souls to gain their power ( in the dub , Vector specifies that he will be taking his fellow Emperors ' power ; Dumon appears confused at this . Vector mockingly apologizes to Dumon and Marin for not being clear and states that he is doing this in the name of Don Thousand ) . Laughing maniacally , he asks if they understand yet .
