Kite Tenjo Kite Tenjo , known as Kaito Tenjo ( カイト , " Tenjō Kaito " ) in the manga and Japanese version , is the son of Dr . Faker , a Number Hunter , and one of the main characters who was gathering " Numbers " for his father in order to help his formerly sick brother , Hart Tenjo , in " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL " . Assisted by a robot named Orbital 7 , Kite was the most direct adversary of the first three arcs , but his " Numbers " are now in the possession of Yuma Tsukumo and Astral . He is the only main rival who didn ' t lose to the protoganist . When Hart was cured , he became friends with Yuma and Astral and cooperated with them in the Interdimensional War between the Astral World and Barian World , becoming directly involved with the Legend of the Dragons of Light and Time . After defeating Mizar on the Moon , Kite deems Mizar the true Dragon Tamer and entrusts him to complete his quest after succumbing to the vacuum of space . He was later revived by the power of the Numeron Code after Yuma ' s and Astral ' s final Duel . An alternate universe version of Kite appears in " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ARC - V " . Design . Appearance . Kite has light blue - grey eyes , pale skin and blonde hair that is curled up in a point with a dark green spiked front , also featuring dark green bangs . His attire includes a black trench coat with a high collar over a grey shirt , a finger - less black glove on his right hand , and white pants with black boots . He also has a belt with two purple deck boxes for his cards . In the past , Kite ' s attire included a pink shirt , brown pants and braces fitted around his belt . When Kite Duels , his black outfit switches to white through a process called " Photon Transformation " . When he uses a " Photon " card while in " Photon Mode " , his body lights up . It is later shown that this transformation physically and mentally drains Kite , eventually hurting him when it is used . Unlike any other regular D - Pad version of a Duel Disk ( that had been seen up until that point ) , Kite ' s disk is a blue and single - bladed disk that curves outside . He can Duel without a Duel Gazer ; however , his left eye turns red and several marks resembling a Duel Gazer are seen when he Duels . He can also do this independently of Photon Transformation for when he is a spectator . Personality . Kite initially carried a pious and self - righteous demeanor as he aims to crush any opponent with a religious fervor in his duels . He also shares a brotherly bond with Hart similar to that of Seto Kaiba when it comes to protecting his younger brother , who is his " everything " , from any danger . Kite clearly cares more about Hart ' s safety than his own , as he keeps using the Photon Transformation to hunt " Number s " not caring that it damages his body and constantly ignores Orbital 7 ' s warnings because he needs the " Numbers " to heal Hart . Because of Hart ' s condition supposedly being caused by the " Number " cards , Kite Duels and acts ruthlessly when it comes to facing those whose possess such cards . He announces his arrival by whistling which tends to frighten the person he is about to Duel . Before Kite Duels , he would always say his usual phrase , " Allow me to collect your " Numbers " along with your souls " , and when he takes the " Number " , he says " Numbers hunting complete " . Kite is opposed to inflicting fear on his opponent , calling it an excessive and despicable thing to do . He is however not above using the fear his opponents already have to make them doubt themselves as seen with Astral when he could have Summoned " " against Kite , but the fear of " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " prevented him from thinking clearly . He considers his hunting to be a job he has to do , not one he wants to do . During the World Duel Carnival Finals , Vetrix notes he began his hunt with the ambition to cure his brother , but began reveling in stealing souls as a Numbers Hunter , shown most clearly when he steals two souls at once with a smile on his face , and his intent to take Quattro ' s . Kite doesn ' t trust and shows hatred towards Dr . Faker and Mr . Heartland , and tends to hide secrets from them . Whenever he speaks with Heartland , he tends to glare at him . He also accuses Dr . Faker of hiding the truth from him about the " Numbers " , and only hunts them in order to heal Hart . He also didn ' t tell them about his plan to find the origin of the " Numbers " , or about Yuma and Astral , and lied to Mr . Heartland when he asked about that day . Besides Hart , Kite shows little compassion towards others , such as Nistro and Dextra . Kite has little interest in Nistro ' s one - sided rivalry , and told him if he gets in his way , Kite will consider Nistro an enemy . Kite shows little consideration to Dextra , once told Dextra not to concern herself with him when they were young or when she sacrificed herself for him , he bluntly claimed he doesn ' t care about anyone besides Hart . In the beginning , Kite despises those wielding the " Numbers " due to Hart ' s condition and the lies told to him by Mr . Heartland and his father as well . However , during the Duel against his own father , Kite found that his reasons for hunting the Numbers were all a lie , his perception of those using such cards was wrong as he states that all those he hunted were innocent souls . After Hart was cured and having reconciled with his father , Kite shows a much lighter disposition , but remains feeling guilty about the actions he committed when he collected the " Numbers " . Although Yuma convinced him to move on , Kite admitted to Fender ' s Barian - brainwashed gang that his soul is still " guilty " . The difference between the anime and manga version of the character is how they view their ace card , " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " : In the anime , especially episode 106 , Kite makes it clear that his dragon is an inseparable part of his identity as a dragon tamer , and that he himself is part of his " Galaxy - Eyes " , therefore refusing to destroy it . In the manga , Kaito makes it clear that if his " Galaxy - Eyes " won ' t be at his side , he will destroy it without a second thought ( saying it will humiliate itself at the hand of someone else ) after it was taken by Hishakaku , Summoning " Galaxy Dragun " to take it down mercilessly with the intention of ending the Duel . Voice / Mannerisms . In the Japanese version , Kite whistles a heavenly song , which can relate to how Kite sees himself as " the light that illuminates the darkness stagnating in the hearts of humanity " , descending upon the wicked and delivering judgment . The actual tune of Kite ' s whistle is called " Haruto Tenjo ' s Theme " , which is also featured in the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL Sound Duel 1 " . In the dubbed version , the song he whistles is more of a Western theme , like a cowboy does when he is about to Duel , which may be a reference to Kalin Kessler . Kite exhibits some level of religious affiliation in the Japanese version . When striking a finishing move against opponents , he asks them if they are " ready for [ their ] confession " . When he showed a level of guilt over his " Number Hunting " , Kite referred to his soul as being stained and having resigned himself to hell one day . Etymology . An alternate rendering of his Japanese name , " Kaitou " , can be translated as " Phantom Thief " , referring to his taking of the " Number " cards with his Photon Hand ability . His family name , " Tenjou " , uses the Kanji for " Heaven Castle " . The < nowiki > " Heaven " < / nowiki > in his last name can refrences his Photon deck being LIGHT and the Astral World being heaven in the Zexal universe in where his dragon came from . " Kaito " is the Japanese pronunciation of the English word " Kite " ; and given it is written in Katakana instead of Kanji , it can thus be correctly translated as either " Kaito " or " Kite " . Abilities . After he wins a Duel with a " Number " user , Kite uses his " Photon Hand " which enables him to extract the " Number " card from their users , though the process also steals their soul . Having lost their souls in this process , the original holders of each " Number " card ages dramatically . Kite possesses a " Duel Anchor " , which he uses to prevent a " Number " user from running away , until the Duel is over . Both of these abilities are technological in origin and were provided by Dr . Faker . His Deck comes from the same source . During the Duel against Trey and Quattro , Hart transferred the remainder of his Barian powers that Vetrix had not already absorbed to Kite . This caused Kite to acquire a red aura while using them , as well as being able to Summon " Neo Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " . He is later able to call upon the power of the Astral World to evolve his dragon into a , gaining a blue aura while doing so . After gaining Hart ' s power , he is able to see Astral . He is also able to read the alternate language the " Numbers " are written in , which only Astral and those possessed by " Numbers " can read . Kite ' s robot , Orbital 7 , possesses other abilities which aids him in his hunt for the " Numbers " . When Kite summons any of his " Galaxy - Eyes " dragons , It manifests as a different weapon ( A shuriken , a spear , or a ) which he either throws into the air , the Overlay Network , or ground respectively , depending on which version of the " Galaxy - Eyes " he is going to play . Biography . History . In the past , Kite lived with his brother Hart and Orbital 7 in a small , wooden villa where they would play all day while Hart drank his favorite drink , hot chocolate . Kite and Hart eventually moved into the facility owned by their father , Dr . Faker , which was located in Heartland . There he met Chris Arclight , who was reminded of his own brothers by Kite . Kite revealed he wanted power to protect Hart and Chris taught him how to play " Duel Monsters " in order to suit that purpose . Chris eventually left after learning the truth about what really happened to his father , Byron Arclight , and Kite was very upset when Chris left . Faker gave Kite a card , called " Message in a Bottle " when he was a child . Years later , Mr . Heartland tested Kite alongside Nistro , Dextra and some other young Duelist s to determine who the elite Duelist of that generation would be . They fought a Duel Robot , which Heartland cranked up to maximum level . The robot physically assaulted them , throwing Nistro against the wall . When the robot attempted to do the same to Dextra , Kite intercepted it , destroying it with his " Daybreaker " , but having his face cut in the process . He told Dextra not to concern herself with him , or she was would lose herself . Sometime later , Kite showed Hart a butterfly , with Dextra secretly watching on nearby . One day , Mr . Heartland took Hart away by force and told Kite that he will never see Hart again unless he serves Dr . Faker . Kite became angry and tried to punch Mr . Heartland , but it was in fact only a hologram . Some time later , his brother was acting very strange , Mr . Heartland informed Kite that he could only be cured if they obtained all of the " Number s " cards . Using Heartland Tower as a base , they find and defeat the holders of the " Numbers " . Using his Photon Hand ability , he stole the souls of the original owners , leaving them catatonic in the process . He wielded the " Numbers " himself to aide him in collecting more of them . During one night in Heartland , Kite tried to escape with his little brother . As they were hiding from Heartland police , knowing that Hart ' s powers would appear due to him being stressed , Kite gave him his favorite candy , caramel , to calm him down . However , they were found soon by the police and Mr . Heartland , Kite was subdued by the police while Hart was taken away from him . By this point , Kite had rendered at least four people catatonic with Photon Hand and obtained ten " Numbers " . Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL . Pre - World Duel Carnival . When a thug was threatening people at a mall Kite watched from the roof of another building before entering the mall . He arrived with Orbital 7 , and quickly defeated the criminal , capturing his " , " the eleventh " Number " that Kite had acquired . Kite was feeling guilty about stealing the souls of the holders , but Mr . Heartland informed him that they had no choice , as all " Number " holders are evil ( when in reality they are just victims of their card ' s influence ) . He then visited his brother Hart , asking him how he was doing and tried to cheer him up , but failed . Shortly after , he found Yuma Tsukumo , who became his next target . During the Duel he easily outmatched Yuma with two " Numbers " and his true ace monster , " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " . When he saw Yuma using two " Numbers " as well , he claimed he is also a Number Hunter and looked quite pleased to have a rival . Just before he would have won the Duel , Orbital 7 showed him a hologram that Hart had collapsed . Therefore he stopped the Duel and went to help his brother . Before he left he revealed his name and told Yuma to remember it . When Fortuno confronted Yuma while claiming to be Kite ' s servant , it appeared Kite watched . This however , wasn ' t the real Kite . It was revealed that the Kite that was watching the Duels was only a statue as Cathy broke it . After Fortuno lost to Yuma , he was shown to have another " Number " , but the real Kite appeared , and Fortuno begged him to be his servant , proving that he was also lying about that . Kite instead defeated him and took his third " Number " , along with his soul . While looking after Hart , Kite complained that Hart shouldn ' t continue using his powers , as he could collapse again , but Hart said he wanted to continue using it as he was doing something good for the world . Mr . Heartland suggested Kite to hurry up and finish hunting the " Numbers " so that Hart can be healed . Kite suspected that Dr . Faker is not telling the truth about the " Numbers " , so he ordered Orbital 7 to find the origin of the " Numbers " . Orbital found that the Emperor ' s Key could be it . He sent Orbital to obtain it and it was found in the locker room of Heartland Academy , as Yuma had taken it for swim class . Shark tried to protect the Key and as a result , he and Kite Dueled . During the Duel , he allowed Shark to take his " " , which inflicted damage to its controller . As a result , he won the Duel quickly . When he took Shark ' s soul and tried compressing a " Number " card out of it , he noticed that the soul didn ' t contain a " Number " card and absorbed it . He was unable to confront Yuma because Orbital 7 notified that Photon Transformation had already used 85 % of its power and , therefore , there wasn ' t much left . He then took The Emperor ' s Key and flew off . While analyzing the Emperor ' s Key back at his laboratory , Orbital 7 said that nothing from this world would react to it , so Kite suggested they use the Baria Crystal , which comes from another world . This allowed Kite to enter entered the dimension inside the Emperor ' s Key , where he confronted Astral , who is visible to Kite . Astral asked why Kite was after " Numbers " , Kite doesn ' t tell him his real reason and only mentioned that he want to know about " Numbers " , the Astral World , and the Barian World . Kite then proceeded to Duel Astral with all of their " Numbers " on the line . Kite quickly overpowered Astral and threatened him with " Galaxy - Eyes " . When Astral was ready to give up , Yuma appeared with the ZEXAL power , which he uses to combine himself and Astral , shocking Kite . Yuma and Astral were able to use this new power to defeat " Galaxy - Eyes " , so Kite was forced to use " Photon Shock " to end the Duel in a DRAW . Yuma asked Kite why he hunts " Numbers " , Kite answered that he sold his soul to the devil for Hart ' s sake . Then , he returned Shark ' s soul and escaped once again . Some time later , he was seen watching over his brother who was sleeping . When the three suns appeared and time stopped , he entered his Photon mode and traced Yuma ' s memories of " Numbers " with Orbital 7 . Kite later met up with Yuma and subsequently told him that they would meet again in the World Duel Carnival . World Duel Carnival Preliminaries . Before the World Duel Carnival started , Mr . Heartland summoned Kite to watch all the people coming to the tournament . During that time , Kite helped Yuma enter the tournament with the intention of settling his Duel against Astral . During the opening day of the tournament , Kite continued collecting the " Numbers " , even taking on two " Number " holders at once in a two - vs - one Duel . After Cameron Clix caused a giant plane engine to be destroyed , Kite with the assistance of Orbital 7 flew onto the plane , and managed to crashland it onto a highway , saving hundreds of lives in the process . Seeing this , Yuma thanked Kite , but in actual fact Kite was doing it for his own needs as if the plane had crashed and killed all of the passengers , the World Duel Carnival would have been cancelled due to the event causing mass panic within the city . He then flies off again , leaving Yuma confused . When Kite learned that Hart had escaped from Heartland , Kite panicked and frantically tried to find his little brother . Unbeknownst to him , Hart was kidnapped by Quinton . Kite and Yuma teamed up to break into an abandoned gallery , to rescue him from Vetrix , whom begins a ritual to extract his powers and memories . Upon arriving , they began a Tag Duel against Trey and Quattro . On his first move , he played " Photon World " , not caring if Yuma was hurt or not by it . Although Yuma tried to reason with him , he refused to listen and fought on his own . After Quattro provoked Kite , he in a rage , Summons " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " just to attack Quattro ' s " Number " , but he falls into their trap , which allows Trey to activate " Stonehenge Shield " , rendering " Galaxy - Eyes " powerless and inflicting damage with " " . Yuma saved Kite from the damage , but Trey and Quattro continued to target him and Yuma continued to protect him at the expense of his own Life Points . However , after Quattro brought out " " and attacks Kite with it , he is on the verge of defeat with a mere 100 Life Points and seemingly given up . With some words from Yuma and remembering something from his past , he decides to fight to the very end . Hart then transferred his remaining power to his brother , forcing the ritual to end , and leaving Vetrix only some of the powers and memories he had intended to steal . This allowed Kite to obtain a new power from the bond with his brother and , using Yuma ' s monsters to Tribute Summon " Photon Caesar " , he overlays it and " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " to Xyz Summon " Neo Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " . With it , Kite defeats both Trey and Quattro in one turn . After the Duel , he attempted to take Quattro ' s soul , but his crest protected him and knocked Kite back . After Quinton returns an comatose Hart , Kite was devastated , thinking he did this to him . Later , Kite is seen trying to get past Nistro , but is unable to because Dr . Faker was in a meeting with Mr . Heartland . Just as Kite was about to try rushing in , Dextra told him that there was nothing he could do right now , even if he was by Hart ' s side . World Duel Carnival Finals . As the World Duel Carnival finals began , Photon Transformation had taken a heavy toll on Kite ' s body and tests that were ran by Orbital 7 revealed that if Kite continued the way he was going , he would die . When asked about his status by Mr . Heartland , Kite told him he was fine . Heartland told him he does have expectations that Kite will gather " Numbers " in the finals . Kite responded that that ' s fine , as long as Heartland keeps his promise to heal Hart . Heartland told him not to worry about that and instructed him to attend the finals party to scope out his opponent ' s " Numbers " . At the party , Kite confronted his former teacher , Chris , now known as Quinton . He asked why Quinton and his family had done what they did to Hart . Quinton responded that they only do what Vetrix tells them and Kite cannot hope to defeat them in his current state . Later , Dextra approached Kite with concern , telling him she knows that he needs to collect the " Numbers " for Hart , but urged him to stop Dueling and drop from the finals , which he refused . Yuma found Kite on his way out of the party and asked how Hart was . Kite told him not to concern himself with that and focus on the confrontation the two will surely have in the finals . Yuma agreed to that , but Kite then told him that it ' s not Yuma he ' s looking forward to defeating - it is Astral . During the opening ceremonies of the finals , Kite exchanged glances with Quinton , and told Orbital 7 to freeze time in order to scan for " Numbers " in the Duel Coaster Stadium . He then jumped into his cart and sped off of on the Duel Coaster with the other finalists , leaving Yuma behind . Kite defeated another finalist with his " Reverse Buster " , saying he has no time to deal with people who do not possess " Numbers " , while Dextra whispered for him not to push himself . Kite entered the underground section of the Duel Coaster , pursuing Vetrix and Quinton . He noticed odd behavior from Vetrix ' s coaster and asked Orbital 7 to investigate . Orbital discovered that Vetrix ' s movements had become erratic because he was avoiding Trap Card s another Duelist had Set - and all of those cards had " Butterfly " in their name . Kite realized it was Dextra who then blocked him from facing Vetrix . She claimed she wished to face Vetrix for Mr . Heartland . Kite told her not to get involved , but Dextra threatened him with " Butterfly Ballet " , causing Kite to subconsciously switch lanes . Kite is then drawn toward the Space Duel Field , " Space Field " to Duel Quinton . During the first turn , Quinton managed to Summon his " " , which Kite attacked , not knowing what it truly is . When Yuma and Tori arrived with Orbital 7 , Yuma informed him that Dextra sacrificed herself in an attempt to defeat Vetrix , but he responded that he didn ' t care . Even after hearing Dr . Faker ' s history with Vetrix and Kazuma Tsukumo , Kite said that he only cares about Hart , and continues the Duel by bringing out " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " , but is unable to attack due to the effects of " Dyson Sphere " . Quinton reduced Kite to a mere 100 Life Points with " Dyson Sphere " , and then told Kite his family has thrown away their own name for revenge . He wished to save his father , but his heart was already filled with revenge when he returned . Kite told him that was wrong - he fights to oppose his own parent , Faker . Quinton was surprised at how strong Kite had become , and Kite told him he would inherit Quinton ' s feelings and settle things with Vetrix for him . Bringing out " Neo Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " with the aide of the card Faker had give him , " Message in a Bottle " , Kite defeated Quinton . Quinton left through a portal , leaving " Dyson Sphere " behind for Kite , and after a brief conversation with Yuma , Kite departed with Orbital 7 . During the semifinals , Kite speaks to a comatose Hart and tells him he ' s leaving for the semifinals now and promises to defeat the remaining two Duelists to save Hart , even though his " Photon Transformation " is already damaging his body . Before proceeding to Duel Vetrix at the Duel Tower in the semifinals , Kite was greeted in the hallway by Yuma , and told him and Astral that he would meet them in the finals . The Duel began and Vetrix revealed an AR mask identical to Hart ' s face . Due to the connection forged between Vetrix and Hart during the ritual , Vetrix could inflict pain on Hart by hurting himself . Kite attempted to leave to help Hart , but Vetrix snared him with a Duel Anchor . Yuma and Orbital 7 departed for Heartland Tower in Kite ' s place . Continuing the Duel , Kite matched Vetrix ' s " " with his own " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " . Vetrix accused him of enjoying his actions as a Numbers Hunter , which Kite fiercely denied and justified it was only to cure Hart . Yuma and Orbital reached Hart , and Yuma and Astral entered Hart ' s consciousness . There , Vetrix appeared to them in the form of the dragon , which Yuma slew with " " , severed the connection between Vetrix and Hart . Kite continued an aggressive strategy , bringing out " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " . Though he nearly defeated Vetrix , the latter brought out " " , which absorbed the effects of " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " and defeated Kite . He was saved from further physical harm by Hart , who projected a shield to defend him . Vetrix used his crest to take Kite ' s " Numbers " , as well as his soul , leaving Kite in a comatose state and being looked after by Orbital . After Vetrix lost to Yuma , he released the souls of those he has captured , resulting in Kite awakening from his coma . Finding Hart ' s room empty , Kite rushed towards the basement of Heartland Tower , knowing that Hart was in trouble when his " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " card began to glow . Due to the Sphere Field entering the tower , it began to collapse and Kite was trapped under fallen rubble . He was found by Tori , who was unable to get him out even with Orbital 7 ' s help . When Shark arrived looking for Yuma , he agreed to help Kite out of the rubble . After some arguing , Tori convinced the two to work together to get to Yuma and Hart . When they reached the Sphere Field Cannon , Mr . Heartland , deployed an army of Litterbot s to stop them . Orbital 7 destroyed several , enabling Kite , Shark and Tori to wield the litterbots weapons and destroy more . Orbital 7 finally shut down the reactor powering the litterbots , which interfered with the Sphere Field in the process . Astral released Yuma from the Sphere Field and he united with Shark and Kite to challenge Faker in order to save Hart and Astral . Faker immediately brought out what he called the strongest " Number " , " " . This card dominated the field and the trio barely survived via the effect of Shark ' s " Shield Fin " . Each Duelist was able to bring out their ace card , and it appeared that " Galaxy - Eyes " had dealt the final blow . When the smoke cleared , a new " Number " stood in place of " Heart - eartH " . This new " Number " , " " overpowered them once more . taking out the " Chaos Numbers " of both Yuma and Shark with ease . Yuma managed to defend their few remaining Life Points , while Shark left a trap that gave Kite that materials he needed to bring forth " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " . It destroyed " Heart - eartH Dragon " , causing damage to Faker ' s mechanical parts . Faker revealed the truth to Kite . Believing that Hart ' s illness was due to the existence of the Astral World , he made a deal with a being from the Barian World . Faker would collect the " Numbers " and Vector would save Hart . If Faker failed , Vector would take Hart for himself and use his powers to destroy the Astral World regardless . Not wanting to burden Kite with this knowledge , he never told him . Kite became a Numbers Hunter of his own volition , which Faker thanked him for . The Barian that Faker had made the deal with appeared at this point , possessing Faker and reviving " Heart - eartH Dragon " . Wanting to help Kite and Yuma , Hart used his powers to lower the Sphere Field closer to the field , letting Yuma and Astral merge . They used " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " to help power up " Utopia Ray " and defeat the Barian . The Sphere Field Cannon began to explode , with Hart being lowered down to Kite slowly and Kite catch him and told him his nightmares gone now . With Heartland Tower crumbling , Kite somehow reactivated Orbital simply by telling him to get up , and ordered him to get Tori , Shark and Hart out of the area . Kite himself jumped down into the pit to try to save Faker , with Yuma joining him . He reached Faker , but the ledge beneath them collapsed . Kite deployed his Duel Anchor , which was caught by Yuma , who managed to keep them from falling . Vetrix emerged from a portal , looking like he was going to take his revenge on Faker . He launched his crest towards them and transported them out of the area , thus saving them . As Kite reconciled with his family , Yuma told Kite that as WDC Champion , he gets a wish granted - he wished for Kite to live happily with his family . Amused , Kite responded it that that was none of Yuma ' s business , but them Yuma revealed his true wish - to Duel Kite again . Kite accepted , wanting to finish his confrontation with both Yuma and Astral . While getting ready for his Duel , he thought about the fact that up until now , he had always fought as a Number Hunter for the sake of Hart , recalling the souls he has taken . When Hart came into his room , Kite smiles and promises he won ' t lose the Duel , but Hart can tell there ' s something wrong with his brother . Kite arrived to his meeting place by flying with Orbital 7 and signaled his arrival by whistling . As the Duel began , Kite Dueled seriously and managed to counter Yuma ' s moves and inflict damage , but lamented how Yuma loves Dueling and he never gives up . This saddened Kite , and he announced that he wanted to give up , hardly caring about it any more as he had lost his passion for Dueling since Hart is now cured . After Yuma and Astral did their best to encourage him to keep going , Kite reactivated his D - Pad and declared he ' ll open his own path and Duel for himself , continuing the Duel . In the end , Kite defeated Yuma , with the help of both " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " and " Neo Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " after countering Yuma ' s use of " Xyz Double Back " with his own copy . Afterwards , he helped Yuma to his feet as Yuma vowed to challenge him again someday . In response , Kite told Yuma he would always accept a Duel against him . Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL II . Barian Invasion . Kite and Orbital 7 picked up signals indicating a gravitational disturbance near the harbor , which was Girag ' s appearance on Earth . Kite rushed there using Orbital 7 ' s motorcycle mode to intercept part of Fender ' s gang , while Shark arrived and intercepted another part of the gang . After Yuma defeated Fender , the two arrived to tell Fender of his gang ' s defeat and support Yuma in his fight against the Barian World . Sometime later , Kite and Orbital 7 learn about an " abnormal energy " similar to the Sphere Field was occurring outside the city , shocking him . Kite and Orbital traveled there in glider mode , where they found Yuma too weak to continue his Duel with Mizar . Kite offered to take Yuma ' s place , keeping his current Life Point value of 2500 , which Mizar agreed to , wanting to match their " Galaxy - Eyes " monsters against one - another . Kite battled Mizar ' s " " with his own " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " , but struggled to deal with its effects . He countered with " Neo Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " and destroyed " Tachyon Dragon " . Mizar revealed his Barian form and Summoned " " . Mizar canceled the Duel after this , as the power of his new monster threatened to destroy the Barian Sphere Cube . Before leaving , Mizar told Kite his name and his desire to control both " Galaxy - Eyes " monsters . Kite fell from the Sphere Field when it was disengaged , but was caught by Orbital . Kite then watched in horror as Yuma fell into a crevasse with Shark , who attempted to save him . In the aftermath his friends ' surviving the fall , Kite spent his time in the lab in the partially rebuilt Heartland Tower , looking over the data about Mizar and " Galaxy - Eyes Tachyon Dragon " he gather from their Duel . Hart urged him to go the hospital to visit Yuma , although Kite didn ' t seem to hear him until Hart began to leave . Then Orbital 7 came in to remind Kite it was almost time for him to visit Yuma , which made Hart happy as Kite had planned to visit Yuma after all . Later , Kite witnessed the Duel between Shark and Yuma and was glad that Yuma ' s fighting spirit was revitalized . Sometime later , Kite had ordered Orbital 7 to investigated the Barian and notice Orbital ' s odd behavior one day when checking on his progress , but let it slide . After Orbital returned from his Duel with Yuma , Kite was waiting for him and told him that his Dueling was still " soft " before leaving . After Ray Shadows is abducted to the Barian World by Vector , the Barian that had possessed Dr . Faker , Kite flew to the location where the Duel occurred only to find a distraught Yuma . After inquiring on what occurred , Yuma began to sob further , prompting Kite to slap him across the face out of annoyance , telling Yuma to " calm down " . He later invited Yuma and Shark to the semi - rebuilt Heartland Tower to discuss what happened . Yuma , wanting to save Ray , suggested they go to the Barian World , which Shark agreed to , but Kite informed them that they have no possible way to access it . Suddenly the tower began to shake , Orbital 7 appeared on a screen informing Kite that there was a distortion above the tower . Hearing this , the trio ran to the tower ' s summit , where they observed the Different Dimension Airship from the Emperor ' s Key landed . Astral then appeared , informing them that it would be able to transport them to the Barian World . Later that night , Kite informed Hart of his mission , bidding him farewell and promising to return soon . The next day , Kite along with Shark , Yuma , Astral and Yuma ' s friends climb aboard the ship and traveled through a dimensional portal only to be assaulted by an array of monsters . To protect the ship , Kite joined Yuma , Shark , Rio Kastle and Bronk Stone on the ship ' s exterior , Summoning their ace monsters to ward off the attacking monsters . They were pulled through another portal , this time arriving at " Sargasso the Different Dimension Battlefild " , where Kite witnessed Vector taunt Yuma with Ray ' s corpse . He was then challenged by Mizar to a rematch , taking the first turn by Xyz Summoning " Starliege Lord Galaxion " only to be inflicted damage through the effect of the Field Spell Card that surrounded him and his friends . Although he was at an disadvantage , Kite remained confident and Summoned " Photon Dragon " , taking more damage from " Sargasso " . at the end of his turn . He noted right away when Mizar began Summoning monsters that he was bringing out Level 8 monsters , and his fears were justified when Mizar Summoned " Tachyon Dragon " . He was quite surprised that Mizar chose to take the damage inflicted by " Sargasso " rather than avoid it with " Sargasso Lighthouse " , but Mizar stated that he wanted to fight Kite equally as a " Galaxy - Eyes Master " , something that pleased Kite . He also listened to Vector revealing that he was really " Ray " all along and boasting how it was so he could plan Yuma ' s downfall , which Kite showed visible disgust to . As the Duel continued , Kite Summoned " Neo Photon " , while Mizar responded by Summoning " Neo Tachyon " once more . When Yuma was blaming himself for putting his friends in danger , Kite told Yuma that he came on his own will and encouraged him to win his Duel , but was stunned when Yuma and Astral transformed into Dark ZEXAL . After Yuma undid Dark ZEXAL , Kite helped inform Yuma of his status and paused his Duel with Mizar to watch Yuma and Vector ' s . When Mizar asked why Kite didn ' t seem concerned about Yuma , Kite said that he believes in Yuma as a Duelist . After the power surge of ZEXAL II caused " Sargasso " to self - destruct , Kite ' s Duel with Mizar was canceled , and he returned to Heartland with everyone else . Mythyrian Numbers War . After Orbital 7 detected a change in spatial mass , Kite flew to South America and wondered if the Barians were involved . He arrived at the deserted castle in time to rescue Yuma from falling into a pit , surprising him . Once everyone was safe , Kite was informed of the seven " Mythyrian Number s " by Yuma . The group then head to Spartan City , where Kite and friends went to see the Pro Duelist Spartancity Tournament and reunited with Nistro and Dextra . Kite told his former colleagues that he was happy about their careers to inspire children , comparing it to how he would Duel for Hart before . Kite and the group learned the tale of a warrior from the duo and deduced that " Number " was in the coliseum , which was under a lake . At night , Kite and the others were awoken by explosion coming from the ruins and rushed over there . When Yuma and Dextra began a Tag Duel against Alito , who brainwashed Nistro , Kite watched the Duel alongside Shark and Rio Kastle . During the Duel , Kite was confident in Yuma ' s and Dextra ' s Dueling skills , despite their situation ; unlike the Kastle twins , Kite had a better understanding about the way Dextra and Nistro behaved , which he explained to the siblings . After the Duel ended , Kite and the others returned to the airship the next day and listened to Tori and Orbital 7 complaining to Rio about being left behind . On the way to the next location , Kite waited outside of the airship when " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " was resonating with something . Upon arriving in an mountain range , Kite went with Yuma and Shark to climb a mountain to reach the ruins . While struggling to climb , the trio heard a dragon ' s roar that caused Kite ' s " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " to be excited and went out of Kite ' s control for a moment . The mountain then started to tremble sightly , causing rocks to down , making Kite lose his grip and nearly falling , but was saved by Yuma . When they came to the Number ruins , they met Jinlon , a Number Guardian who was very interested in Kite as he saw him as the Dragon Tamer . Jinlon mentioned that Kite was similar to " someone " who fought dragons and lived inside the palace long ago . This sparked Astral to ask Jinlon about Mizar , revealing to Kite and the others that the Barian were humans once , much to their surprise . Believing it was his destiny as a dragon master , Kite challenged Jinlon , putting his " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " for his " Number " up for stake . Before they started , Kite asked if Jinlon Dueled with Mizar and if Mizar won or not , but Jinlon didn ' t answer . Although Jinlon used " " as a means to Summon more powerful Dragon s , Kite quickly overcome this strategy using " Book of Moon " . Jinlon praised the young man , commenting how much Kite was like Mizar , but Kite angrily stated that he was nothing like Mizar . Kite was then was pushed into a corner when Jinlon brought out " Soul Drain Dragon " , whose ATK was boosted to 8000 . Kite was able to get himself out of the dilemma and was ultimately able to defeat Jinlon . Jinlon then acknowledged Kite as a Dragon master and told him the legend about Mizar . He also told Kite was that he different from Mizar because he has the power to never give up on destiny regardless of desperate circumstances . Suddenly , Mizar arrived and challenged Kite to settle things , but the force of the " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " monsters began to destroy the ruins and Mizar retreated . Kite and his friends ended up on a mountain peak after the Number ruins vanished . Kite continued to listen to Jinlon explaining how when people searching for " Numbers " come to the ruins , huge changes will occur in the world and about the " two lights " battling in the sky long ago . Jinlon told that ' s was the reason he was testing Kite so he could lead this world on the right path and prevent any wars that will lead the world to destruction . When Yuma and the others were setting off to the last ruins , Yuma mention that Kite wouldn ' t join them this time because he was looking into some things . Sometime later , Kite and Orbital 7 flew around Heartland as abnormal phenomenons occurred all across the city . He spotted Yuma and his friends being transported by Number 96 to another location and flown just in time to go along . Kite and the group listened to Number 96 ' s goal of destroying all three worlds and observed Yuma Dueling against Number 96 . As events came to a climax , they witnessed Astral destroying Number 96 and forced to parted ways with a tearful Yuma . Kite and the others were transported back to Heartland and stood silently as a heartbroken Yuma cried for his lost friend . At some point after meeting Jinlon , Kite returned to the ruins and located a tablet detailing a legend regarding the " Galaxy - Eyes " dragons . He detailed the legend to Quinton , informing it said that if the two dragons fought at the place of their birth , the true eyes of the galaxy would awaken and the winner would open the gates to a new world . He determined the birthplace was the moon and that the legend is related to the Numeron Code . In a arctic area , Kite worked together with Quinton to build a Interdimensional Teleporter to go to the Astral World to find Astral . As they made progress , Quinton thanked Kite for his efforts and told him that the experiment was extremely dangerous and they could not let Yuma be aware of it . However , Kite secretly went to get Yuma and heard the boy proclaiming that he would search for Astral forever until he finds him . Kite commended Yuma on his resolve and takes him onto a plane to the lab site . He summarized that they need to find Numeron Code if they ever wish to save their world and Astral World from the Barians . Kite explained to Yuma that he and Quinton found a a way to world to Astral World using the King ' s Coin s , which he stole from Yuma . As Kite tells Yuma about the Astralite that the coins are made of and the device , he got bitten by a mosquito , but shrugged it off seconds later . At the lab site , Kite argued with Quinton about how he wouldn ' t " coddle " Yuma like him , even though he knows the dangers that Yuma would face . He stated that the coins are a message from Kazuma Tsukumo to summon Yuma to Astral World and convinced Quinton to let the boy go . After Scritch caused a blackout , Kite ordered Orbital to charge the device with his Baria Crystal as he and Quinton Duel Scritch to protect Yuma . The poison Kite received from the mosquito bite begins to take effect and caused him to hallucinate , making him see Quinton as Scritch and vice versa , causing him to attack Quinton and protect Scritch instead . However , Quinton was able to awaken Kite ' s survival instincts and successfully made Kite fight the poison off . Together they power up " Galaxy Eyes " and win the Duel . Afterwards , the teleporter is successfully activated and Kite bid Yuma farewell as he was sent to the Astral World . After Yuma left , Kite and the others stayed to monitor the portal , but Orbital suddenly told them that the portal was discharged large amounts of energy . This caused Kite to worry that the portal would break down and Yuma would be trapped in the Astral World . As the energy continued to overload the device , Kite and the others was forced to evacuated the laboratory before it explodes . Kite and the others returned to Heartland , meeting up with Quinton ' s brothers and Yuma ' s friends to tell them what what happened with Yuma . Suddenly , Mr . Heartland appeared before them and revealed that he intended to use the energy from the Fake Number s to merge the Barian World with the Human World ; he realized the Barian World would be able to attack Astral World directly just like how Hart was able to attack Astral World if this was accomplished . To stop Heartland and protect his " Numbers " , Kite challenged Mr . Heartland to a Duel . Kite was initially unimpressed by Mr . Heartland ' s " " , but the monster , as well as " " , inflicted a lot of pain to him . Although Kite tried to remain strong , he was eventually overwhelmed and knocked to the ground . When he was about fall unconscious , Kite opened his eyes long enough to see that Yuma and Astral had returned from the Astral World . Kite welcomed Yuma and Astral back before losing consciousness . He was looked after by Quinton as Yuma took his place in the Duel . After the Duel , he awakened and Orbital 7 informed him that Yuma won . Barian Emperor Onslaught . When the Seven Barian Emperors appeared in front of the group , Kite was struggling to keep his eyes open as he saw that Shark and Rio had sided with the Barians as Nash and Marin . After the group fled from the Barians , he fell unconscious again and Quinton asked Orbital 7 to bring him to the armored car before speeding away . When both had recovered enough to speak , Yuma and Kite conversed about Shark . Kite said he was an enemy now and that a fight couldn ' t be avoided now . Yuma insisted they couldn ' t fight their friend , but Kite pointed out that Quattro was dead because of him and he was their friend too . When Yuma and Astral resolved to go to the Barian World to confront Don Thousand directly , Kite told them he couldn ' t go and that he had something to do . With his vision becoming blurry , he departed on Orbital ' s motorcycle form . He and Orbital witnessed the destruction of " " , with Orbital showing concern for Quinton . Kite told him to remember that he and Trey must do what they need to do , just as Kite must and urged him not to look back . Kite and Orbital used a space shuttle to head to the moon to further look into the Legend of the Dragons of Light and Time . Kite was saddened but not surprised when Orbital informed him he had lost track of Trey and Quinton ' s vitals . Kite arrived at the moon to find the ruins that described the " Galaxy - Eyes " monsters , though on landing , he crashed the shuttle and Orbital managed to turn into a space suit for Kite to breathe in outer space . When Mizar arrived on the moon , they engaged in their third Duel to determine the true " Galaxy - Eyes " master . Before their Duel began , Kite explained to Mizar about the legend of and how it created the Numeron Code . Their Duel was fierce with both of them clashing with their respective " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " monsters . Mizar was able to destroy " Neo Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " , thus pushing Kite into a corner . However , Kite was able to call upon the power of the " Numbers " to bring out " . " Despite this , " Prime Photon Dragon " was destroyed and banish ed thanks to Mizar ' s " Tachyon Chaos Hole " . Before Mizar was able to finish him off , Kite was able to Summon " " and have it clash with " Neo Tachyon , " thus showing Mizar his true memories of his past life involving Don Thousand . Mizar denied these claims , believing that his " Tachyon Dragon " would never betray him . Thanks to the efforts of Lillybot and Orbital , the people of Earth were able to see the Duel , including Yuma , Astral , Dr . Faker and Hart . Kite was aided by Orbital 7 , who managed to keep his eyesight from blurring , but slowly began to lose his life support from Mizar ' s continuous attacks . As the Duel continued , Mizar was about to win until Kite revived " Prime Photon Dragon " and had it clash with " Neo Tachyon " . He then reflected on how Mizar was the true Dragon Master and he had simply used dragons as a means to protect those he loves , though it had brought him his friends and his determination . After the Duel , Kite was able to witness the power of the ruins use " Number 107 " , " Number 62 " and " Number 46 " in order to revive the and turn it into a . As Orbital 7 began losing power as a result of his sustained injuries , Kite bid a heartfelt goodbye to his father and brother , and he told Yuma not to lose hope . Kite entrusted Mizar with the " Number " and told him to follow the path he believed in , before succumbing to the vacuum of space as Orbital ' s systems shut down . During Yuma ' s and Nash ' s Duel with Don Thousand , Kite ' s spirit appeared to support Yuma , light - heartily asking him if was really ready to give up and what had happened to his " kattobingu " spirit , calling him an " idiot " . Kite reminded Yuma that he entrusted everything to them so they must win before disappearing . When Yuma brought out " Numeron Dragon " to aide in the fight , Kite ' s spirit stood along his friends to show their unity . After Don Thousand was defeated , Kite gave Yuma one last smile as he vanished once again . After the ceremonial Duel between Yuma and Astral , Kite was revived via the Numeron Code . Returning to a peaceful life , Kite and his family , along with the Arclights had began to work together to research parallel worlds . Upon hearing about a crisis in the Astral World , Kite joined Yuma , Tori , Arclights and the Seven Barian Emperors to help Astral . Relationships . Hart Tenjo . Kite loves his little brother , Hart , very much and he is " everything " to him . In their childhood , Kite and Hart lived together mostly by themselves and would play every day , from catching butterflies to playing hide - and - seek . Kite would do anything it took to protect Hart , even at the cost of his own life , pushing himself to hunt " Numbers " on his own and disregarding the dangers of his Photon Transformation . Whenever Hart was in danger or pain , Kite underwent great panic and stress , to the point of not thinking clearly as his anger and worries took over . While Kite is normally cold and detached from others , Hart brings out Kite ' s gentle and caring side . Since Hart ' s " sickness " took a toll on him , Kite often tried to make him feel better , usually having a limited success . Kite also tried to spare Hart from being concerned about him , putting on a forced smile and assuring him that ' s he alright . Although he goes along with Kite ' s words , Hart can see through him and understands what Kite was doing for him . If he was able to , Hart would try to protect Kite as best as he can within his powers . Dr . Faker . As a child , Kite seemed to share a good relationship with his father , who gave him the card " Message in a Bottle " , much to his delight . Years later , lack of truth and trust strained the two , with Kite ceasing calling Faker " father " and addressed him as " Dr . Faker " only . Simply trying to protect both his sons , Faker didn ' t want Kite to push himself more than he already did as a Number Hunter . During their Duel , Kite expressed nothing but anger towards his father until he revealed the truth about his deal with the Barian World to sustain Hart ' s lifeforce . Hurt , Kite told his father that he should have trusted him , and promised to deal with the Barians in his place and forgave him . Yuma Tsukumo . As rivals in hunting " Numbers " , Kite and Yuma initially saw each other as enemies . Kite first thought Yuma was a regular " Numbers " Holder and tried to get his Number . During the Duel , Kite was surprised that Yuma used 2 " Numbers " , and identified him as Number Hunter , but looked happy to have a rival . After their first Duel , Yuma became depressed over his near loss and developed a fear of Kite , though this was short - lived and Yuma become more confident when facing Kite , despite knowing the dangers . Yuma was shown to respect Kite ' s Dueling skills , calling him " scary " , but strong . When Yuma interfered in Kite and Astral ' s Duel , which ended in a DRAW , Yuma asked Kite why he is collecting Numbers . Kite only answers that he sold his soul to the devil in exchange of his brother ' s sake . Determine to Duel Yuma , Kite told Yuma that they will settle their score in the World Duel Carnival . Knowing that Astral helps Yuma , Kite saw Astral as his rival instead of Yuma , whom Kite considered as " just an idiot " . Despite their differences , they joined up to rescue Hart from the Vetrix Family , which resulted is a Tag - Team Duel . Kite seems to have grown to respect Yuma as he begins to call him by his first name , however he still doesn ' t see him as his rival and still dislikes him . During the WDC finals , Yuma often made an effort to be friendly with Kite and cheered him on in his Duels , and even considered him as a friend . During the finals , Kite seemed to gain greater respect for Yuma , letting him watch his duel with Vetrix . Kite also appeared to soften up to Yuma due to the many times he showed concern towards Hart , though he never outwardly showed it . During the duel with Dr . Faker , he began to value Yuma and Shark as his friends . After their duel against Vector , Yuma proclaimed that his WDC wish was for Kite ' s family to live happily in peace . Amused and smiling , Kite says it was none of his business , but Yuma then revealed his real wish - to Duel Kite again to settle their score . Kite happily accepted the challenge , addressing both Yuma and Astral , while finally acknowledging Yuma as a rival . Yuma greatly looked forward to Dueling Kite again , and openly showed excitement throughout their Duel . Kite also thought about Yuma ' s never - give - up attitude and how much he enjoyed Dueling . When Kite was about to surrender due to losing his passion to Duel , Yuma encouraged him to continue , calling Kite his " goal " . When Kite won the duel , Yuma promised to beat Kite one day , which the latter accepted , saying that Yuma can Duel him as many times as it takes to achieve that goal . Ironically , there is some resemblance between Kite ' s and Yuma ' s Dueling styles , as both seem to prefer a more offense - based strategy , and their Dueling styles were at least somewhat compatible when they Tag Duel ed . This may have some relation about the similarities Yuma and Kite have that Astral himself has observed . At first , Kite denied being compared to Yuma , but seems to have somewhat acknowledged this when he asked Astral for support during their Tag Duel . Astral . At first , Kite was unaware of Astral ' s existence , but left a great impact on him during his first Duel against Yuma . As Kite ' s Dueling skills surpassed Astral ' s and nearly beat the pair , Astral developed a great fear towards him . This left Astral severely depressed for some time and was reluctant to face him again . However , Astral eventually overcame his fears towards Kite as his bond with Yuma grew stronger . They officially meet each other when Kite stole the Emperor ' s Key and was able to enter it , making Kite able to see him . Astral voiced his respect to Kite and told him that he wishes to know about him , but Kite rebuffed all his attempts . After learning of Astral , Kite saw him as his real rival instead of Yuma since Astral advised Yuma during his Duels . Throughout the World Duel Carnival , Kite and Astral show silent , mutual respect for each other , but couldn ' t converse since he couldn ' t see or hear Astral . At the end of WDC , Astral told Kite , who could now see and hear him , that he considered him as a friend when encouraging him to continue his rematch with Yuma . Reginald Kastle . Kite ' s initial meeting with Shark is when he stopped Orbital 7 from killing him and demanded that Shark hand over the Emperor ' s Key . Having heard about the " Number Hunter " , Shark figured out his intentions towards Yuma and lied about having a " Number " card . This resulted in a Duel between them , where Kite easily defeated Shark , taking the key and the latter ' s soul . Shark bared a grudge against Kite since then , and meeting again in Heartland Tower , he was very hostile to Kite , though he did help free him from the rubble that had trapped him . However , Kite didn ' t care about it as Hart was in trouble and told Shark they could have a rematch later . After arguing , the two agreed to work together to save Yuma and Hart . During the Duel with Dr . Faker , they developed a friendship and worked well with each other . Although Kite holds little contact with Shark , they come together if the Barian World poses a big enough threat , but they have a tendency to argue with each other . Initially , Kite refered to Shark by his first name , but as they were around each other more often , he began using Shark ' s nickname just as others do . Despite their differences , both he and Shark are a lot alike , both do whatever they can to protect their siblings ( Hart and Rio ) and become quite vengeful and angry when both are in danger , as well as both seem to possess cool and distant personalities . After Shark had sided with the Barian s as Nash , Kite readily accepted that he was now his enemy and was resolved to fight him if he had to . However , as of the final episode , they became friends and allies once again . Quinton . Kite first met Quinton when he came to live within his father ' s facility in Heartland , and they become very close . Quinton thought of Kite and Hart like his brothers and became Kite ' s Dueling mentor . Chris eventually left Kite when he learned about Dr . Faker ' s betrayal and was filled with anger and hate towards Kite ' s family . Wanting an explanation why he left , Kite chased after him , only to have Quinton toss him aside and leaving him very hurt in the rain . In his thoughts , Kite reflected how a part on him wanted to follow Quinton that day . Five years later , Kite met Quinton again when he returned a comatose Hart and was very shocked to see him . However , both regarded each other coldly and in anger because of what their families did to each other . During the WDC , Kite pursued Quinton , hoping to get answers on the Vetrix Family ' s goals . They confronted each other with a Duel , where Kite learned what happened between their fathers and promised Quinton that he will deal with their fathers for him . Quinton was impressed to see how strong Kite became and entrusted him with saving Vetrix . Although he despised Vetrix , Kite did try to honor Quinton ' s wishes in his Duel against Vetrix by Summoning Quinton ' s " " so Vetrix could remember his son . After Vetrix had reformed , Quinton returned to Heartland and repaired his relationship with Kite , becoming friends once again . Mizar . Mizar is a Galaxy - Eyes user just like Kite , this created a rivalry between them as only one of them can be the true Galaxy - Eyes user . Their initial meeting was when Yuma was unconscious during the Duel against Mizar and Kite took his place in the Duel as was calling out to " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " . The Duel was put to a stop as the overwhelming energy of " " began to break the Barian ' s Sphere Field . Since then Mizar and Kite have shown respect for each others skills as well as desire to control the others " Galaxy - Eyes " and prove himself the Dragon master . During their final Duel , Kite admits to Mizar to being the true Dragon master for believing in his . Kite becomes the true Dragon master , but dies from his injuries and entrusts the " " to Mizar , believing him to make the right choice in the end . After their revival , the two became allies with Yuma in his fight to save the Astral World . Number Hunting . Prior to his first Duel with Yuma , Kite had acquired eleven " Numbers " , among them " " , " " and " " . Prior to the World Duel Carnival , he also acquired " " . He also won a " Number " from Fortuno . During the tournament , he acquired at least two more " Numbers " from his opponents , before winning " " from Quinton during his first match in the finals . In his next match , he lost his " Numbers " to Vetrix . Sometime later , he acquired " " from Jinlon . After defeating Scritch alongside Quinton , he obtained " " , but his card turned out to be a fake and was destroyed . During a Duel on the moon , he acquired " " . This card and " Dragluon " resonated with Mizar ' s " " and netted him " " . Though he won the Duel , he succumbed to the vacuum of space and passed those " Numbers " to Mizar . Deck . Kite plays a " Photon " Deck , focused on swarm ing the field with LIGHT - Attribute monster s , which he can then use to Summon his " Number " monsters and / or his ace card , " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " . He also uses the " Galaxy " archetype to summon the upgraded forms of " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " : " Neo Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " and " " easier . According to Mr . Heartland , Kite ' s Deck was created by him and Dr . Faker by using science from another dimension .
