This chapter was first printed in Japanese in the 07 / 2015 issue of " V Jump " , released on May 21 , 2015 , and in English in the 05 / 25 / 2015 issue of " Weekly Shonen Jump " . Summary . Astral tells " " to come forth as Kaito , Shark , Yagumo , and Kotori watch in shock . Yuma , with 1 LP , gasps that " Utopia Kaiser " is the true king of the " Number s " . Astral , with 100 LP , activates the effect of " Utopia Kaiser " ; once per turn he can Special Summon " Numbers " from his Extra Deck with their effects negated equal to the number of Overlay Unit s " Utopia Kaiser " has , then detach ing one of its Overlay Units . First he Special Summons " " and " " . Then he calls forth " " , which towers over the illusory Heartland City , and finally , " " , which looms over the cityscape . Yuma gasps that Astral Summoned four " Numbers " at once , and Astral explains that " Utopia Kaiser " is unaffected by his opponent ' s card effects while he controls another " Number " as he detaches an Overlay Unit from it , and he won ' t take any damage until " Utopia Kaiser " is destroyed . Yagumo praises the effect ; Yuma won ' t be able to damage Astral until he takes down the four " Numbers " , and Kaito observes that the " Numbers " are acting as a shield for " Utopia Kaiser " . They note that the power to control the other " Numbers " at will certainly makes " Utopia Kaiser " the true king of the " Numbers " . Shark points out that Yuma is already down to 1 LP , and Astral 100 , so the Duel could end for either of them in a split second . Kotori clasps her and whispers Yuma ' s name , thinking that he can do it . Yuma points out that " " has 5000 ATK , so it won ' t matter how many low - ATK monsters Astral Summons . Astral asks Yuma if he really thinks he ' d make such a mistake , and Yuma admits that he guesses not . Astral agrees , activating the Spell Card " Numbers Exist " , reducing the ATK of one " Number " he controls to zero , and adding that ATK to another " Number " until the end of the turn . " Atlandis " falls to zero ATK , and " Gimmick Puppet of Strings " rises to 5600 . " Gimmick Puppet of Strings " attacks , and Astral tells Yuma to see if he can survive it . Yuma replies that he ' s not done yet , and he activates the Trap Card " Ghost of a Grudge " , which will reduce the ATK of one of Astral ' s monsters to zero when Astral has at least eight monsters in his Graveyard . Astral has " Astral Magician " , " Astral Golem " , " Astral Knight " , " " , " " , " " , " " and " " ; eight monsters in total . Kaito and Shark are both shocked , and Yagumo is impressed that Yuma memorized all of the cards in Astral ' s Graveyard . Kotori reflects that right now Yuma just might be the ultimate Duelist , and Astral ' s the one who trained him . The tables turn , and " Utopia the Lightning " counters , destroying " Gimmick Puppet of Strings " with " Hope Sword Lightning Slash " , but the effect of " Utopia Kaiser " prevents Astral from taking damage . Astral then activates the third effect of " Utopia Kaiser " at the end of the turn , destroying one of Yuma ' s monsters for each " Number " that was destroyed , and " Utopia Kaiser " disintegrates " Utopia the Lightning " with a gesture . Astral ends his turn , Shark snaps that this is bad ; now Yuma has no monsters on his field . Yagumo agrees that if Yuma doesn ' t Summon a monster that can survive attacks from Astral ' s four monsters next turn , there ' s no way that he can win . Yuma thinks that there ' s no way he ' ll let Astral die alone . He ' s going to hit Astral with all the tactics he ' s got now , and all the jetting he can manage . He ' s positive that there ' s a way out for them at the end of this Duel . He declares his turn and draws , then he Summons " Gagaga Head " , which he can Summon without Release when he has at least two monsters in his Graveyard . Then he activates its effect since it was Summoned , Special Summoning all the " Gagaga " monsters in his Graveyard . He Special Summons " Gagaga Magician " and " Gagaga Girl " , and then the effect of " Gagaga Head " allows him to Xyz Summon a " Number " from his Graveyard using the " Gagaga " monsters he controls as material . " " is resurrected , and Yuma further activates the effect of " Gagaga Girl " since she was used as Xyz Material , reducing the ATK of a monster Astral controls to zero . " Atlandis " is reduced to zero ATK , and Yuma then activates the effect of the attached " Gagaga Head " , drawing cards equal to the number of attached " Gagaga " monsters ; with three , he draws three cards . He activates the Spell Card , " Utopia Buster " , causing Kotori to recall Captain Corn as Yuma explains that it will destroy the monster Astral controls with the lowest ATK and inflict that ATK as damage . " Atlandis " is destroyed , and Yuma activates another Spell , " Blustering Winds " , which increases the ATK of " Utopia " by 1000 until the next turn . " Utopia " increases to 3500 ATK , and then it attacks and destroys " Dyson Sphere " with " Hope Sword Slash " . Astral grimaces , despite the damage being reduced to zero , and Yuma Set s two cards to end his turn . Astral declares his turn and he draws . Kotori cheers that all Astral has left is " Utopia Kaiser " and " Master Key Beetle " , but Kaito reminds her that it ' s not the case ; thinking to himself that as long as Astral has the effect of " Utopia Kaiser " , the " Numbers " will assemble again . Sure enough , Astral activates the effect of " Utopia Kaiser " to Special Summon three " Numbers " , much to Kotori ' s shock . Yuma activates a Trap Card , " Tin Balloons " since Astral activated the effect of an Xyz Monster , Special Summoning as many " Tin Balloon Token s " to Astral ' s field as possible . Astral recalls the card from when they avenged Tetsuo , and Kotori realizes that Yuma must be remembering all of the Duels that he ' s fought before as she remembers " " . Yuma states that the memories of every Duel that he fought with him are his flesh and blood , and Astral retorts that that fighting style is Yuma ' s weakness . He activates the Quick - Play Spell Card " Spirit Foresight " , preventing the effect of " Tin Balloons " from Summoning more than one monster . Two " Tin Balloon Tokens " explode , and Astral draws cards equal to the number of negated Summons . Then the effect of " Utopia Kaiser " goes through , Special Summoning " " and " " . Astral draws his two cards , and then he activates a Spell Card , " Battle Purification " , returning the ATK and DEF of all monsters to their original values . Yuma responds with a Trap Card , " Rival Crush " , forcing Astral to attack with his highest ATK monsters first . Astral does so , attacking with " Dragluon " , " Volcasaurus " , and " Master Key Beetle " . Yuma responds each time with the " Moon Barrier " effect of " Utopia " , and " Utopia " blocks the three attacks of Astral ' s " Numbers " . But Astral still has " Utopia Kaiser " left , and it destroys " Utopia " with a strike of its wrist blades . Astral Sets a card to end his turn , and he notes that Yuma once again controls no monsters , nor has any cards in his hand . He can ' t win . Yuma whispers Astral ' s name , and Astral admits that there was no point in saying that ; he knows Yuma won ' t give up . Yuma agrees , and Astral muses that from the moment he and Yuma first fought , he knew how dangerous Yuma ' s eyes were to his opponents , staring straight ahead with their trust in others . Astral requests a favor from Yuma ; no matter what happens , he should never forget his faith in people , nor his belief in the future . Yuma cries that he isn ' t going to lose , this is his fight and he ' ll bet every Duel he ' s fought on this card . He declares his turn and yells that he ' s gonna jet , drawing and activating the Continuous Spell Card " Endless Bond " . It allows him to Special Summon a " Utopia " monster from his Graveyard and increase its ATK by that of the other " Utopia " monsters in the Graveyard , and attack after destroying a monster by reducing its ATK by 1000 . " Utopia " rises again , and gains the ATK of " " and " Utopia the Lightning " , increasing to 7501 ATK . Yuma declares that his hope will always be renewed . Featured Duel : Yuma Tsukumo vs .
