Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL - Episode 042 " A Dubious Duo " , known as " Yuma and Kaito - Tag Duel of Souls " in the Japanese version , is the forty - second episode of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL " anime . It first aired in Japan on February 6 , 2012 , and in the United States on December 15 , 2012 . Summary . Vetrix ' s ritual to steal Hart ' s powers continues . Quinton guards them , while watching the Tag Duel between Kite Tenjo and Yuma Tsukumo versus Quattro and Trey with a screen in front of him ( this is cut from the dub ) . Quattro taunts Kite and Yuma , Yuma reacts to him , but Astral warns him to be careful with Quattro . Orbital 7 , standing next to Tori Meadows , shouts to Yuma that he shouldn ' t hinder Kite . Tori gets angry at Orbital , making him show some fear of her . Quattro takes the first turn of the Duel , playing " Egg Head " . Using its effect , he deals Kite 800 points of damage . Yuma asks Kite if he ' s okay after taking the blast , but Kite replies he should mind his own business and worry about himself . Quattro then dramatically wonders how Hart is doing , to which Kite begins his turn . Kite starts brutally , activating his Field Spell , " Photon World " . The surrounding area starts changing into a space void , probably resembling being on one of the asteroids that form the rings of Planet Saturn . Trey seems surprised , Quattro is still grinning , and Yuma is completely baffled . The latter , just like before , in Trey ' s Field Spell during the duel against Shark , thinks he ' s choking , being in a place where humans can ' t breathe , only to be reminded it ' s AR Vision by Astral . Kite continues his assault by playing a " Photon " monster , triggering the Field Spell , dealing 400 damage to everyone without a Photon monster . Yuma gets angry at Kite because of this , since he doesn ' t have any , meaning he would damage his own Tag Partner . Kite stays cool about it , saying he doesn ' t need Yuma ' s power . Meteorites rain down from above the foursome , and crash into Yuma , Quattro , and Trey . Tori shakes Orbital around in frustration . Yuma gets upset about Kite damaging him , but Astral reminds him that they ' re here to save Hart . Quattro starts taunting Kite again , this time mentioning Dr . Faker and Mr . Heartland , and Kite ' s goal . Yuma flashes back to what Kite said after their last duel about selling his own soul to the devil for his brother , and puts the pieces together . Kite however stays calm and talks it off . Yuma thinks about helping Hart with their Numbers , but Astral reminds him he should focus on the Duel first . Trey takes his turn , having remained quiet during the other turns . He tells Quattro he ' s about to prepare the combo they ' ve previously planned . He plays " Chronomaly Golden Jet " and " Chronomaly Moai " , allowing him to Xyz Summon his real " Number " monster , " " . A purple Number - style 33 appears , and a giant city descends . Yuma gazes at the huge Number in front of him , and Astral calmly shares his thoughts upon the structure with him . Yuma starts his turn , summoning " Ganbara Knight " followed by " Kagetokage " . He then creates an Overlay Network . Quattro , albeit sarcastic , says he ' s surprised seeing the opponent summon an Xyz Monster in the first turn . Yuma Xyz Summon s his own Number , " " . This time , Quattro is honestly surprised , along with Trey , seeing Yuma has a Number , and Quinton , who ' s watching , also gets interested . Even though Trey sees this as an extra reason for careful preparation , Quattro just bursts into laughter saying the battle just got more interesting . Quattro draws and immediately continues his play by doubling his " Egg Head ' s " level to 8 through " Level Doubler " , and reviving his other Puppet after banishing another . Overlaying them , Quattro calls forth his Number , " " . Tori flashes back to when the Number devoured Bronk and Caswell ' s " Tin Archduke " and " Antidote Nurse " , remembering the devastating effect of the creature against Xyz Monsters . Trey activates his Continuous Trap Card , " Number Wall " . Astral and Yuma are surprised by Trey pulling out a Number - specific support card . Quattro activates the effect of " Number 15 " , destroying " Utopia " and dealing Yuma 2500 points of damage , but he was ready and restores his Life Points through " Damage Mage " . In order to make up for his failure in dealing damage to Yuma , Quattro activates a Spell and intends on using its powers with the effect of " Giant Grinder " to only be destroyed in battle by Numbers , to get rid of " Photon Crusher " and take 2000 Life Points out of Kite . Kite is blown away , but it is revealed to have been saved by Yuma ' s Trap Card . However , Kite isn ' t the least bit grateful . Tori expresses she thinks Kite could at least have been a little more grateful , and Orbital apologizes to her . Kite asks Yuma if it was Astral ' s plan to protect him , but Yuma responds it was his own choice to do so , and that he wants to help Hart , in order to fulfill the promise that Yuma made to him . Quattro however tells Yuma to shut up , angry at Yuma nullifying the effects of his moves and , with that , nullifying his " fan service " ( in the dub , Quattro is angry because he lost attention from Yuma and Kite ) . Seeing how he was unable to inflict pain to any of his opponents , Quattro decides to pop up a screen of Hart ' s condition , who ' s being drained of his power at the moment . Kite gets angered , and Quattro , playing right into his anger , says he probably wants his brother to hurry and save him . Trey expresses some sorrow , seemingly not fine with his brother ' s tactic . Quattro laughs about Kite ' s anger , but Kite doesn ' t see the fun in Quattro ' s " joke " and begins his turn , playing his 2100 ATK " Photon Thrasher " , which triggers " Photon Pressure World , " damaging the other 3 for 400 each . He Tribute s " Thrasher " and " Crusher " , and calls " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " in his anger . The field deals damage again , and " Galaxy - Eyes " attacks " Number 15 " . However , Quattro shouts that Kite fell for it , as Trey activates his face - down " Stonehenge Shield " , trapping " Galaxy - Eyes " , and reducing it ' s ATK to 0 . The effect of " Number 33 " activates , dealing damage to Kite equal to the amount of ATK " Galaxy - Eyes " lost , sending 3000 points to Kite .
