E ' Rah chants , " Come forth ! Incarnation of despair governing all darkness and chaos ! Anti - Hope , God of Despair ! " Yuma , with 1 LP , floats by Kaito , with 2000 , as Yuma asks what the monster is . " Anti - Hope , God of Despair " , towers over the field , a Level 12 dark - robed fiend armoured in a lighter material with 5000 ATK , much to Kaito ' s shock . E ' Rah states that " Anti - Hope " steals all hope ; while it is on the field , her opponents cannot Xyz Summon . Astral cries , " What ? ! " in horror and E ' Rah orders them to see it and feel it ; struggle as they may , all things fall . Future , hope , they are but temporary consolation . Destruction and despair are this world ' s only truths . She attacks " " with " Anti - Hope , God of Despair " . " Anti - Hope " blasts out several strips of cloth , attacking with " Anti - Hope Despair Slash " as E ' Rah tells them to suffer the bite of her sword of despair . Yuma grits his teeth , but Kaito reassures them that he won ' t let Yuma and Astral fall . He tells them that they are their last hope , and asks them to take care of Haruto . Kaito activates the effect of " " , detach ing an Overlay Unit to make it the attack target . The attack strikes , destroying " Titanic Galaxy " and reducing Kaito ' s LP to exactly zero . Astral calls Kaito ' s name as he falls , and Kaito mentally asks Haruto to forgive him , before bidding Yuma and Astral goodbye . He crashes into the graveyard as Yuma screams his name . E ' Rah snickers , commenting that now the priests of sky , ocean , and earth are gone . Their bonds have no power ; all they have left is emptiness and loneliness . They cannot win ; they have only one LP left . This Duel is over , so Yuma and Astral should cease this pointless struggle . E ' Rah tells them to submit to her now , and she will make them part of her new world in recognition of their tenacity . Yuma asks , " A part of your world ? " and E ' Rah confirms that she means their friends as well ; their minds will become residents of her world , and together they will witness a future of destruction and despair . It is the only way that their souls will survive . Yuma looks at his friend , and Cathy gasps , " Oh no ! " as Tokunosuke asks if it ' s the only way for them to live . But Kotori angrily refuses , she doesn ' t want a future like that . Luna agrees ; they haven ' t fought this far so that only they survive . She tells them that Ryoga and Kaito fought hard ; don ' t waste their struggle . Tetsuo agrees that Shark and Kaito believed in Yuma and Astral . Cologne states that life without freedom isn ' t worth living , and Takashi and Orbital 7 add that in order words , Yuma and Astral should fight . Yuma and Astral are struck by their friends ' belief , but E ' Rah calls them fools for refusing to give up . Yuma retorts that they ' ll never give up ; Shark , Kaito and his father entrusted the future to them . Astral states that a solitary being like E ' Rah will never understand how they feel ; belief in others is gentle , yet strong , and it leads to belief in the future . Yuma agrees ; Shark and Kaito are gone , but their spirits will always be with them . Yuma prepares to draw , and he tells Astral that it ' s their Destiny Draw . He asks Shark and Kaito to lend him strength , and declares his turn and draws " Memories of Hope " . He activates the effect of " " , Special Summon ing it from the Graveyard since the total ATK of E ' Rah ' s monsters is at least double that of Yuma ' s . This effect also allows Yuma to revive another " Number " , so he Special Summons " Titanic Galaxy " as well . Kotori cheers that Kaito and Shark ' s monsters are back . E ' Rah laughs , asking if Yuma is still clinging to them . Yuma furiously tells E ' Rah that she can go ahead and laugh , but his memories of them and their Duels gave him the courage to fight . He activates a Spell Card , " Memories of Hope " , allowing him to draw cards equal to the number of " Numbers " he controls . E ' Rah watches as Yuma draws three cards , thinking that they are the souls of Shark , Kaito and Yagumo . Astral muses that he sees a formula for victory . Yuma activates the Spell Card " Future Energy " , which doubles the ATK of one monster he controls when the ATK of all Xyz Monster s he controls is lower than his opponent ' s monsters . " Spider Shark " doubles to 5200 ATK , which Cathy , Tokunosuke , and Tetsuo cheer is higher than " Anti - Hope " . E ' Rah snarls angrily as Yuma declares that he ' s coming ; her despair versus their hope . " Spider Shark " attacks " Anti - Hope , God of Despair " , but E ' Rah retorts that the attack won ' t work ; " Anti - Hope " is the god who shatters all hope . She activates the effect of " Anti the Abyss " , sending it to the Graveyard since her opponent attacked to make the ATK of " Anti - Hope " the same as that of the monster it battles and preventing it from being destroyed in battle . " Spider Shark " is destroyed , much to Yuma ' s shock , but Astral replies that they aren ' t done yet , and he activates the effect of " Titanic Galaxy " since an Xyz Monster was destroyed , adding its ATK to " Titanic Galaxy " , which rises to 5600 ATK . " Titanic Galaxy " attacks , but E ' Rah asks if they thought that combo would salvage their hope and she activates the effect of " Anti the Sky " , sending it to the Graveyard since her opponent attacked to destroy the attacking " Titanic Galaxy " . Astral activates the effect of " Titanic Galaxy " again , adding its ATK to " Utopia the Lightning " , which rises to 8100 ATK and attacks with " Hope Sword Lightning Slash " . E ' Rah is shocked by the high ATK , and Kotori cheers that this should work . E ' Rah denies that such tricks work on the god of despair , and she activates the effect of " Anti the Ray " since her opponent controls the same number of monsters she does ; sending it to the Graveyard to negate all effects on her opponent ' s field . " Utopia the Lightning " returns to 2500 ATK , and E ' Rah asks them now what ? Yuma groans , but Astral replies that they proceed ; this is a crucial moment . Yuma replies that he knows ; declaring that he ' s gonna jet , and activating the Quick - Play Spell Card " Dauntless Challenge " ; when his monster attacks and his opponent ' s monster has at least twice its ATK , it doubles the ATK of his monster . With 5000 ATK , both monsters destroy one another , and Yuma further explains that when he ' s destroyed one of his opponent ' s monsters , he can destroy one of their Spell Cards ; " Shifting Land " , which Astral explains causes E ' Rah ' s LP to revert to the value it was when she activated it . E ' Rah returns to 100 LP . Kotori and Cathy cheer that E ' Rah only has 100 LP and no monsters , but E ' Rah activates the effect of " Anti the Earth " since it was sent to the Graveyard , Special Summoning " Anti - Hope " from the Graveyard .
