Staring down " " , Kite tells Yuma he ' ll regret waking the sleeping lion ( in the dub , Kite tells Yuma that he ' ll regret talking him back into the Duel ) . Yuma says that ' s just what he wanted to do and Kite draw s . He activate s " Card of Adversity " , letting him draw two cards since he control s no monster s and his opponent controls Special Summon ed monsters . He then activates " Accellight " , revealing that instead of Normal Summon ing or Set ting a monster this turn , he can Special Summon a Level 4 or lower LIGHT Warrior - Type monster from his Deck . He Special Summons " Daybreaker " in Attack Position . Astral urges Yuma to be careful and Kite tells them that when " Daybreaker " is Special Summoned , he can Special Summon another copy from his hand . He does so and proceeds to overlay his two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon " Starliege Paladynamo " in Attack Position . Astral and Yuma agree that Kite ' s counterattack is coming now . Kite activates the effect of " Paladynamo " , detach ing an Overlay Unit to decrease the ATK of " Utopia " to 0 until the End Phase and negate the effects of all face - up cards besides " Paladynamo " . Yuma says that means the effects of " Utopia " and " Zerozerock " are negated . Kite says that ' s right and due to that , " Utopia " can be destroyed by battle , even though it ' s a " Number " . " Paladynamo " attack s and destroys " Utopia " with " Photon Dividing " , launching a red energy ball from its sword . Yuma is blown backwards , his Life Points falling to 500 . Kite smirks and ends his turn . Yuma rises to his feet and Astral says that was expected of Kite , with Yuma responding that it wouldn ' t be interesting if that wasn ' t the case . He calls it a good " wall " for " kattobingu " . Kite tells him that unfortunately for him , it ' s not a brittle wall , so Yuma won ' t be able to bear down on it . Yuma insists he will . He draws and activates " Card of Spell Containment " ; in exchange for being unable to activate or Set Spell and Trap Card s this turn , he can draw two cards . Excited , he draws " Gagaga Clerk " and " Gagaga Caesar " . He Normal Summons " Caesar " and reveals that if he controls another " Gagaga " monster , he can Special Summon " Clerk " from his hand via its own effect . He activates the effect of " Caesar " . By banish ing a monster from his Graveyard , he can change the Levels of all monsters he controls to that Level until the End Phase . He banishes the Level 4 " Ganbara Knight " , so the Levels of " Kaiser " and " Clerk " become 4 . Bronk says there are two Level 4 monsters now , with Flip adding that he has a chance now . Cathy tells him " cattobingu " and Tori yells " Go , Yuma ! " . He overlays his two Level 4 monsters to Xyz Summon " Heroic Champion - Excalibur " in Attack Position . Nistro is excited that Yuma is using the card he gave to him and tells Yuma to use it to pack a punch . Dextra asks him whose side he ' s on ( this scene is cut from the dub ) . Yuma attacks " Paladynamo " with " Excalibur " . Both Flip and Caswell are puzzled , as the two monsters have the same ATK . Yuma activates the effect of " Excalibur " , detaching all of its Overlay Units to double its ATK to 4000 until the End Phase . Kite is surprised and Yuma yells " Double Shock Sword Slash ! " " Paladynamo " is cleaved in half and explodes , knocking Kite back . Dextra and Orbital 7 both yell Kite ' s name as his Life Points fall to 200 . He rises to his feet and reveals that when " Paladynamo " is destroyed , he can draw a card ( Kite does not mention this effect in the dub ; instead , he says that Yuma and Astral will have to do more than destroying " Paladynamo " if they want to win ) . Yuma ends his turn , the ATK of " Excalibur " returning to 2000 . Astral mutters Kite ' s name , while Flip and Caswell agree that was an amazing play ( in the dub , Flip says that while Yuma may have ended his turn , he still has doubts on his winning chances ) . Cathy says her throat is burning ( feeling the chills in the dub ) , but Tori says they are having fun - even Kite is enjoying himself . Hart says his brother is smiling - he ' s happy , from the bottom of his heart . Dr . Faker wonders if Kazuma ' s son will end up helping his own . Kite draws and activates " Galaxy Zero " , letting him Special Summon a " Galaxy - Eyes " monster from his Graveyard . Its effects will negated and it will be equip ped with " Galaxy Zero " . He Special Summons " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " . Yuma is excited to see " Galaxy - Eyes " and Kite adds that a monster equipped with " Galaxy Zero " will lose 800 ATK when is battles . Nistro mutters that it still has more ATK than " Exaclibur " then and Dextra yells " Go , Kite ! " ( in the dub , Nistro still believes that Yuma can gain the upper hand , with Dextra retorting with , " You wish ! " ) . " Galaxy - Eyes " attacks and destroys " Excalibur " with " Photon Stream of Destruction " , reducing Yuma to 300 Life Points . As he hits the ground , Tori yells his name . With the battle over , the ATK of " Galaxy - Eyes " returns to normal . Kite Sets a card . Yuma backflips to his feet and says it ' s not over - he can still fight . Kite tells him to do as he wishes and Yuma draws . He activates " Gagagadraw " , letting him banish three " Gagaga " monsters from his Graveyard to draw two cards . He banishes " Gagaga Caesar " , " Gagaga Clerk " and " Gagaga Magician " , which shoot from the Graveyard as energy beams into Yuma ' s D - Pad . He activates " Xyz Revival " , letting him Special Summon an Xyz Monster from his Graveyard and equip it with that card . Kite tells Yuma to show him all he has - he will crush it regardless . Yuma says that ' s what he was going to say ( in the dub , Yuma asks Kite if he ' s scared , but Kite calls Yuma ' s play very predictable , with Yuma responding that he uses what works for him ) . Yuma Special Summons " Utopia " with " Xyz Revival " . Kite says it will fall short to " Galaxy - Eyes " , but Yuma says they ' ll see about that . Yuma performs a Chaos Xyz Evolution , overlaying " Utopia " to Xyz Summon " " in Attack Position . Kite mutters " hope " ( the " OCG " name of " Utopia " is " Hope " ) and tells Astral that he once told him he no longer has to be tied to his past . Astral says that ' s right and Kite says that his Duel was always a Duel of a vow . Yuma asks what he means and Kite says he Dueled to save Hart . Hart mutters " brother . . . " and Kite continues that from now on , he ' ll Duel for himself . Looking at " Utopia Ray " , he says " wishes , hope " . Yuma says that ' s right - the future belongs to them and they will decide it . Faker mutters Kite ' s name and Hart says he ' ll live the same way . Kite tells Yuma to come at him and Yuma activates the effect of " Utopia Ray " , detaching an Overlay Unit to increase its ATK by 500 and decrease the ATK of " Galaxy - Eyes " by 1000 with " Overlay Charge " . The 3000 ATK " Utopia Ray " attacks the 2000 ATK " Galaxy - Eyes " with " Rising Sun Chaos Slash " . Kite activates the effect of " Galaxy Zero " , preventing the destruction of " Galaxy - Eyes " by battle since it was sent to the Graveyard . Yuma says he ' ll still receive the Battle Damage , but as the smoke clears Kite stands with 200 Life Points . Yuma is confused and Kite reveals that " Galaxy Zero " has another effect . When it leaves the field , the ATK of the monster it was equipped to falls to zero , with Kite reminding Yuma about one of his own cards . Astral says it was the effect of Yuma ' s own " Zerozerock " . Yuma curses and Kite says that " Galaxy - Eyes " can ' t be an attack target since it has zero ATK . He adds that since the attack did not technically take place , the effect of " Battle Gravity " will do Yuma in now . Yuma activates his face - down " Dimension Gate " , banishing " Utopia Ray " . Since he had no monsters , he could not attack with them , so " Battle Gravity " does not activate . Nistro says both players are in a good " mood " ( he compliments on Yuma ' s play in the dub ) and Dextra mutters Kite ' s name . Orbital tells Kite not to lose to " this dork " . Bronk thinks this is an awesome Duel and Tori says they both keep moving forward , towards the hope that lies ahead . Yuma Sets a card and ends his turn . Astral compliments Yuma , saying he ' s really improved and that his spirit of " kattobingu " is really great . He says he can be on his own . Yuma says he can ' t - " kattobingu " is made up of Yuma and Astral ( in the dub , Yuma says he Duels the way he does right now because of Astral ) . Yuma suggests they advance together , forever . Astral tells him they can start by winning . Kite addresses them both , insisting that he ' ll be the victor . Kite draws and Normal Summons " Galaxy Wizard " , whose own effect doubles its Level , to 8 and it can be treated as two Overlay Units . Kite overlays his two ( treated as three ) Level 8 monsters to Xyz Summon " Neo Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " in Attack Position . Kite reveals that because it used " Galaxy Wizard " as an Overlay Unit , its ATK decreases by 2000 , to 2500 . He specifies that it should still be enough - Yuma ' s Life Points are 300 . Yuma ' s friends are all excited and Nistro wonders if its been decided now . Dextra says Kite ' s name again . Tori says its amazing to see " Utopia " and " Utopia Ray " side - by - side . Astral says that in the next turn , victory will be theirs . Lightning strikes Kite ' s field and both " Galaxy - Eyes " and " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " appear . Astral and Yuma can ' t believe it - a copy of " Xyz Double Back " is face - up on Kite ' s field . Yuma asks if he really had the same card as him and Orbital says Kite has done it now . He calls Yuma " Tonma " and says that " kattobingu " is no match for " kaitobingu " . Kite congratulates Yuma and Astral for their Dueling skills , but adds that there can only be one winner . He orders " Galaxy - Eyes " and " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " to attack " Utopia " and " Utopia Ray " respectively , yelling " Photon Stream of Destruction " and " Ultimate Photon Stream of Destruction " . Yuma ' s Life Points fall to zero . Tori can ' t believe Yuma is asleep . Caswell says that ' s typical of Yuma and Cathy says they should let him sleep on her lap instead of Tori ' s . Tori turns to Astral , asking him to do something , but Astral says not even he can wake Yuma up once he ' s asleep . Yuma continues to snore , muttering " kattobingu " between snores . Tori says if it can ' t be helped , they ' ll just let him be . Astral declares his twentieth observation : " It appears one can feel good about a loss as well " ( in the dub , " Even in a Duel lost , can a friendship be found " ) . In the Barian World , four cloaked figures gather in room full of Baria Crystal s . One of the figures says they didn ' t expect this of Yuma Tsukumo and Astral . His eyes glowing pink , he turns to the other three figures and says that they may have to intervene directly now . Featured Duel : Yuma Tsukumo vs . Kite Tenjo .
