The Barian declares that as the messenger of the Barian World , he has come to destroy the Astral World and will not let anyone interfere with the completion of his mission . Astral mutters " Barian . . . " , while the red mist that is the Barian enters Dr . Faker , fully possessing him . His skin turns red and a strange object appears on his forehead . The Barian tells the trio to see his power for themselves , revealing that when " " is destroy ed when it has no Overlay Units , it can revive itself , with its ATK becoming equal to the number of banish ed cards times 1000 - in this case , 4000 . As it was Special Summon ed , its other effect activate s , switching all monster s the Barian ' s opponents control to Defense Position . As " Neo Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " switches , Kite mutters " impossible " , but then clutches his chest and falls to one knee in pain . Yuma yells Kite ' s name , but the Barian continues the Duel . He draws and then activates a Continuous Spell Card - " Barian ' s Gateway " . During this turn , 800 damage will be inflicted to his opponents each time a card is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard . Yuma yells " What ! " , while Shark mutters that they have only 100 Life Points left . The Barian orders " Heart - eartH Dragon " to attack " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " with " Dragon Cannon Blast " , but Kite activates his face - down " Photon Escape " , which lets him banish a " Photon " monster to end the Battle Phase . " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " is banished and the Barian is surprised they still have strength left to struggle ( in the dub , he says that they are delaying the inevitable ) . He reminds them that the ATK of " Heart - eartH Dragon " rises to 5000 as another card was banished . Kite mutters " Hart " and rises to his feet . He tells the Barian that if he ' s come to take Hart , he wishes he would come with all his strength , vowing to take him down here and now . He yells Hart ' s name again and Hart lightly mutters " brother " ( in the dub , Hart mutters , " That was Kite , " and his appearance is slightly altered ) . As a monster was banished , Kite activates the effect of the " Dimension Wanderer " in his hand , sending it to the Graveyard to inflict damage to his opponent equal to the total ATK of two of his banished monsters . Two green portals appear as Kite reveals he ' s target ing " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " and " " . Yuma is excited , while Shark is surprised he still had a card like that up his sleeve . Kite tells Shark that his is his final blow . Kite tells the Barian to take his attack that " transcends dimensions " and yells " Ultimate Photon Stream of Destruction " , while Shark joins in with " Chaos Stream " . The Barian compliments him on the move , but reveals that he can send " Barian ' s Gateway " to the Graveyard to negate a monster effect . Kite is shocked he managed to evade that blow and falls to one knee again . Shark , still bleeding from the blow from the Litterbot , does the same . The Barian Set s a card , telling Yuma he ' s the only one left now . The Barian taunts him , saying Yuma has no monsters out and only 100 Life Points left - he should vanish into the depths of darkness now , along with the Astral World . Yuma seems to be out of ideas himself . Hart is crying , muttering both " brother " and " Yuma " . He says that they always do things for his sake . Hart glows with blinding rainbow light and the Sphere Field begins to descend closer to the field . The Barian is enraged that Hart is using the powers that the Barian gave him like this . Kite urges Yuma to go to Astral ' s side now and Shark adds that he must show the Barian their power . Hearing Astral calling him , Yuma does several backflips , then gets a running start and jumps from the ledge yelling " kattobingu ! " ( " I ' m feelin ' the flow ! " in the dub ) . The Emperor ' s Key glows and Yuma manages to enter the Sphere Field . He and Astral collide and immediately perform a ZEXAL Morph , fusing themselves . Kite and Tori smile , while Shark mutters " ZEXAL " , looking surprised ( The scene showing Shark is cut from the dub ) . Yuma is surrounded with a yellow aura , while the Barian says that this must be the force from the Astral World then , - ZEXAL . Yuma claims that with the hope that shines through darkness and kattobingu that burns in his chest , they will defeat him yelling , " Shining Draw ! " . He draws " ZW - Ultimate Shield " . He Normal Summon s it , revealing that with its effect , he can revive banished Xyz Monster s in Defense Position . " Ultimate Shield " spins , generating a storm , from which emerges " " . Shark tells Yuma its alright and Kite tells him to integrate their power as one . A purple aura surrounds Shark as " Shark Drake Veiss " appears , while a red aura surrounds Kite as " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " does the same , with Kite calling it " my very soul " . Simultaneously , the three Duelists declare that " Heart - eartH Dragon " loses 3000 ATK as those monsters are no longer banished . Yuma says this is their true strength , but the Barian dismisses it as a comical effort that won ' t change the outcome . The Sphere Field floats back into the Sphere Field Cannon and the Barian declares that even without Astral , the Sphere Field has gathered more than enough energy . He adds it cannot be stopped no matter what they do and they should just die along with the Astral World . " Heart - eartH Dragon " flies up and takes the Sphere Field in its mouth . Yuma equips " Utopia Ray " with " Ultimate Shield " via the latter card ' s effect , increasing its DEF by 2000 . Yuma then activates " Xyz Unity " , switching " Utopia Ray " to Attack Position and increasing its ATK by the total ATK of all face - up Xyz Monsters they control . Its ATK rises to 9800 . Yuma orders " Utopia Ray " to attack , but the Barian reminds him that effect of " Heart - eartH Dragon " will nullify the Battle Damage and inflict an equal amount of damage to them instead . Yuma activates another effect of " Xyz Unity " , sending " Shark Drake Veiss " to the Graveyard to give " Utopia Ray " an additional attack and the ability to attack directly instead . Calling the move foolish , the Barian activates his face - down " Barian ' s Battle Buster " . By banishing a " Barian ' s " card from his Graveyard , he can negate two attacks this turn . He banishes " Barian ' s Gateway " and negates the attack . Yuma says it ' s not over yet and sends " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " to the Graveyard to give " Utopia Ray " another attack , which the Barian negates with " Barian ' s Battle Buster " . The Barian reveals the other effect of the card - he can send it to the Graveyard to force a monster to attack . Shark knows they ' ll lose if " Utopia Ray " battle s now , with Kite adding that 6800 damage would be bounced back at them . The Barian tells them it ' s over now and adds " go to Hell ! " ( in the dub , he instead yells , " Victory ! It is doomsday for you and Astral World ! " ) Yuma asks if he truly thinks it ' s over and activates the final effect of " Ultimate Shield " - it can negate the effects of a monster when effect damage is inflicted and increase the ATK of the equipped monster by the amount of damage that would have been dealt . The ATK of " Utopia Ray " rises to 16600 and the Barian yells " impossible ! " three times ( in the dub , he yells " Oh , no ! No way ! It cannot be ! " . " Utopia Ray " attacks with " Rising Sun Ultimate Slash " , annihilating " Heart - eartH Dragon " and dropping the Barian to 0 Life Points . As Faker ' s body flies backwards , the Barian releases his control of him , harshly saying " you . . . " ( " You will pay for this . . . " in the dub ) to Yuma as he vanishes . Yuma asks if he saw the strength of their bonds . Faker lands hard on the ground , and Kite mutters " father " . The Sphere Field Cannon begins to explode and red electricity surrounds it . Tori yells Yuma ' s name as the area begins to collapse . Hart is lowered slowly to Kite ' s arms , surrounded with blue energy . He opens his eyes and says " brother " ( in the dub , he also adds that he is free ) . Kite says they ' ve blown away his nightmares . The area continues to collapse and a piece of concrete heads straight towards Yuma . Shark pushes him out of the way and is struck in the arm , falling onto his back . Explosions continue to wrack the area and Tori screams . Yuma yells Tori ' s name and Kite asks the still disabled Orbital 7 how long he intends to sleep ( in the dub , Kite orders Orbital to wake up ) . Inexplicably , Orbital reactivates himself , but is immediately struck by a piece of concrete , though he appears to be fine . Faker rises to his feet and says the names of both his sons ( in the dub , he asks himself where he is ) . The floor beneath him collapses and he falls into the pit , Kite yelling " father " again . Tori lands next to them using Orbital ' s jetpack mode . Kite tells Orbital he ' s leaving Hart to him and jumps down into the pit . Hart yells " brother " , while Kite vows to bring his father back . Yuma asks Tori to look after Shark . Shark , still on the ground , asks if Yuma is going with him . Yuma leaps after Kite yelling " kattobingu ! " A short time later , Kite locates Faker , who is hanging halfway off a ledge . Kite reaches him just as the end of the ledge collapses , grabbing his hand . The remainder of the ledge collapses and Kite deploys his Duel Anchor to try to latch on to something . He finds the rope grabbed by Yuma . Faker asks why Yuma is helping him . Yuma says that while he doesn ' t like Faker , he realizes he did his best as a father to save Hart . Faker is reminded of Kazuma as he looks up at Yuma . Faker disagrees , saying he ' s committed too many sins - he should not be forgiven . Her voice breaking , Tori tells Yuma to stop pulling such crazy stunts . A short time later , Shark is on his way to the hospital in a helicopter piloted by Nistro , as Dextra looks after him . Nistro asks how Shark is doing and Dextra responds that he ' s taken well to first - aide , but they still need to hurry . Faker asks for his sons ' forgiveness , blaming himself for everything . Astral remarks that with Yuma ' s heart that never gives up and through his bonds with his friends , Yuma has brought back the light hope and with that , the World Duel Carnival is over . Yuma claims its not over - he ' s not yet received his prize for becoming champion . Tori asks how he could think of that at time like this . Yuma laughs , saying that the winner was to have his wish granted . He says his wish is for Kite ' s family to live in peace . Kite says its none of his business . Yuma says he ' ll reveal his real wish then - to Duel Kite again . He adds that they still have a score to settle . Astral calls it " the real finale " . Kite accepts it , addressing both Yuma and Astral ( in the dub , Yuma ' s first wish is omitted . ) Featured Duel : Yuma Tsukumo , Reginald " Shark " Kastle , and Kite Tenjo vs . The Barian .
