Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL - Episode 125 " Fight for a Friend " , known as " The Immortal Spearman - Silent Honors Dark Knight " in the Japanese version , is the one - hundred and twenty - fifth episode of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL " anime . It first aired in Japan on October 13 , 2013 and on Hulu on September 29 , 2014 . Summary . As Nash declares " Chaos Draw " , each of the other involved Emperors draws their card , holding it high above their heads as each is engulfed in light . As the resulting pillars of light radiate upward , Tori wonders what they are , while Astral says that he ' s never felt something this powerful before . Everyone else in the car simply stares in shock . Quattro wonders what ' s going on and Nash says that he did tell him before - the real power of the Seven Barian Emperors is born of Chaos . As the light dissipates , Nash plays his drawn card - " Rank - Up - Magic - The Seventh One " . He explains that it will Rank - Up an Over - Hundred " Number " into a " Chaos Number " . Quattro is confused and reminds Nash that his " Number " is in the Graveyard . Nash responds that it doesn ' t matter - this card will target it no matter where it is , though its effect s will be negate d if it is from the Graveyard . " " is Special Summon ed from the Graveyard and Nash reconstructs the Overlay Network at the same time as the other Emperors - Mizar with " " , Girag with " " , Alito with " " , Marin with " " , and Dumon with " " . Each of them performs a Chaos Xyz Evolution . Each of the human Duelists utters a short comment . Dextra and Bronk only say " Over - Hundred Chaos Number " in shock ( in the dub , Dextra is not afraid of Dumon ' s new " Number " , while Bronk knows the real Rio is still in Marin and promises to bring her back ) , but Nistro is pleased his blood is pumping now . Roku says they still have to win , while Kaze is worried about being disgraced in this Duel ( in the dub , Roku says it is the darkest before dawn , and Kaze finishes his mentor ' s statement with the sun coming up just as the Barians are going down ) . Anna says they can ' t afford to lose , while Nelson tells Mizar to bring it on ( in the dub , Nelson promises to serve justice to Mizar , while Anna adds that this justice will be explosive ) . Still watching the Duel , Vector is shocked at Nash ' s power . Don Thousand tells him that such power was impossible to attain until now and seems surprised that Nash could pass that power to the other Emperors ( Thousand communicating with Vector is cut from the dub ) . Vector muses that with power like that , they should be able to beat the humans even if they gang up on them , but wonders if Nash can truly fight his friend . Nash thinks back to just after he recovered his memories . Looking out at the abyss in the Barian World , still in his human form , he stares at the picture inside the pendant he wears around his neck , showing his human family . Rio approaches him , calling him " Reginald " . She comments he ' s come back to this spot again , but he tells her not to call him that anymore . She asks if she should call him " Nash " now . With tears in her eyes , she states that the souls that were sent to the Barian World were burned in the fires of war and carried the weight of anger and sorrow . She blames herself for it , or rather , her actions in her previous life . Nash in turn blames himself , as his hatred in that life led them here , while ripping the pendant from his neck . Rio wonders if he can really fight against Yuma and the others . He responds with a yell that he will - as Nash , he will force himself to forget his own friends . He throws the pendant into the abyss , yelling " for the sake of the Barian World ! " ( this entire flashback was removed from the dub version . ) Back in the present , Nash activate s the effect of " Silent Honor DARK " , which lets him attach a monster his opponent control s to it as a Chaos Overlay Unit . Quattro comments that he doesn ' t even need to use an existing Overlay Unit to do this . Nash targets " " and yells " Chaos Conversion " as " Silent Honor DARK " shoots a blast of pink energy from its lance , which engulfs " Giant Hunter " in a massive explosion , with the energy being brought back and made into a Chaos Overlay Unit . Nash boasts that this nonsense will end now and orders " Silent Honor DARK " to attack directly . It shoots another blast from its lance and Quattro is thrown backwards in the explosion . Nash says " Good - bye " as the attack hits . Vector remarks that Quattro lost quickly , but when the smoke clears , Quattro painfully gets to his feet . Quattro declares that he ' ll drag " Reginald " back no matter what . Even if he ' s accepted his fate , Quattro will beat sense into him . Nash asks how he survived and a monster appears in front of Quattro . He explains that when the attack of " Silent Honor DARK " was declared , he used the effect of the " Gimmick Puppet Shadow Feeler " in his Graveyard , Special Summoning it in Attack Position and making it the new attack target , with " Shadow Feeler " preventing its own destruction by battle . This reduced his Life Points to 100 - just enough to survive ( shots of the actual " Shadow Feeler " are cut from the dub , though its silhouette is shown briefly ) . Nash says it wasn ' t a bad move , but it makes him want to destroy Quattro even more . He ends his turn , commenting that he ' s surprised that the " cheating Champion of East Asia " was able to come this far . Quattro responds that he will keep going and reforge the bonds of friendship . Nash calls those bonds nonsense , adding that he ' s tired of pretending he was friends with anyone . Shocked , Quattro asks if he ' s serious , with Nash claiming that he was - he would never feel sentimental things such as bonds or friendship . He urges Quattro to hate him , to not think of him as a friend , but as an enemy he must defeat . Quattro responds that even if Nash believes the bonds of friendship are dead , he can still reforge them ( in the dub , Quattro thinks Nash was telling the truth ; he wasn ' t his friend in the past , but he will become the Barian leader ' s worst enemy in the present ) . Quattro draws and then equip s " Shadow Feeler " with " Overlay Satellite " . A small satellite appears and begins to orbit " Shadow Feeler " . Quattro explains that this allows the equipped monster to be treated as two Overlay Units . The satellite fires a blast and " Shadow Feeler " is duplicated . Quattro overlays his two Level 8 monsters to Xyz Summon " " in Attack Position , adding that " Overlay Satellite " now becomes an Overlay Unit , but that the Xyz Monster cannot attack this turn . Nash questions why he ' d Summon a 3000 ATK monster that can ' t attack and adds that Quattro ' s words will never reach Nash ' s heart , no matter how loud they are ( in the dub , Nash says he would never have a clueless person like Quattro as a friend ) . Quattro responds that he ' ll just have to make them echo so loudly that Nash will be forced to hear them , then . He activates the effect of " Strings " , detach ing an Overlay Unit to place a String Counter on all other monsters on the field . Red strings rain down and snare " Silent Honor DARK " and he explains that monsters with String Counters will be destroyed during Nash ' s next End Phase , inflicting damage to Nash equal to the destroyed monster ' s ATK . He continues that " Shadow Feeler " banish es itself if it ' s detached and proceeds to activate " Banish Reactor " as one of his cards was banished . This lets him add a card from his Graveyard to his hand . He chooses " Rank - Up - Magic Argent Chaos Force " . Nash quips that he wasted too much time and effort to bring back that " make - believe " Chaos card ( " that phony meaningless card " in the dub ) . Quattro emphatically yells that this is a card his older brother entrusted him with , a card filled with the feelings of someone he believes in . He adds that even Nash should understand that and that he is pouring his heart and soul into this Duel . Nash questions why he ' s saying such strange things ( in the dub , Quattro says that Dueling isn ' t about winning , and Nash points out that Quattro never believed in that concept back then ) and Quattro reminds him that it was he and Yuma that turned him into such a person . Now , he wishes to return the favor and turn Nash back into the person he was before . As Quattro activates " Argent Chaos Force " , his crest radiates outward and he declares a Chaos Xyz Evolution , his face contorting in pain . He chants , " using the fruits of human wisdom , I revive the Devil " and " " appears in Attack Position . Quattro immediately activates its effect , which destroys all monsters that have String Counters . Nash asks " what did you say ? " , while Quattro declares " Symphony of Destruction " . " Gimmick Puppet of Dark Strings " fires a blast from its sword , which destroys " Silent Honor DARK " and Quattro reveals he ' ll take damage equal to the monster ' s ATK , determining that now his feelings will slap some sense back into Nash . As the explosion engulfs Nash , he ' s thrown backwards and reverts to his human form . He wonders to himself if these are truly Quattro ' s feelings before hitting the ground hard , his Life Points at 200 ( Nash ' s thoughts are edited out in the dub ) . Quattro explains that the other effect of " Gimmick Puppet of Dark Strings " lets him draw a card whenever it destroys a monster . Nash begins to rise , but wonders to himself again if Quattro ' s feelings are truly this strong ( in the dub , Nash thinks that the angrier Quattro makes him , the harder he will hit back ) . Quattro speculates that since his body turned back to human form , Nash must have regained part of his heart . Nash rises and declares he ' s activating the effect of " Silent Honor DARK " . When it is destroyed while it has Overlay Units , he can Special Summon it from his Graveyard . He shouts " Return from Oblivion " as " Silent Honor DARK " reappears and then explains that he now gains Life Points equal to the ATK of " Silent Honor DARK " . A shining orb from the spear of " Silent Honor DARK " restores his Life Points to 3000 . Quattro says he managed to pull himself back together , but adds that " Silent Honor DARK " has no Overlay Units now . He orders " Gimmick Puppet of Dark Strings " to attack , but Nash activates his face - down " Overlay Connection " , which lets him attach that card to an Xyz Monster he controls with no Overlay Units . " Gimmick Puppet of Dark Strings " fires a burst from its sword , destroying " Silent Honor DARK " and reducing Nash to 2500 Life Points . Quattro determines that his words didn ' t reach Nash , then and draws another card as " Gimmick Puppet of Dark Strings " destroyed a monster . Nash claims " Silent Honor DARK " can revive an infinite amount of times and declares " Return from Oblivion " again , reviving " Silent Honor DARK " and increasing his Life Points to 5300 . Nash claims he is the " Barian ' s Guardian " , the protector of a vast number of souls that have yet to mature ( in the dub , Nash says as the Barian leader , the combined strength of the Barians is his ) . Behind him appear the members of the army of the United Lands of the Poseidon Ocean , their eyes glowing pink . Nash urges Quattro to give up - his words will never reach Nash ' s heart . Quattro responds he ' ll never give up no matter how many Life Points Nash has and that he ' s sure that Nash is still Reginald Kastle , no matter what he looks like ( in the dub , Quattro disregards Nash ' s claims and proves that Shark ' s human form is starting to get through to him ; it must be the Dueling that is bringing Shark back ) . Nash growls and Quattro Set s a card . Nash draws and orders " Silent Honor DARK " to absorb " Gimmick Puppet of Dark Strings " . As it appears as a Chaos Overlay Unit , Vector comments to himself that humanity ' s short - lived hope ends here - the next attack will send Quattro to hell . Quattro activates his face - down " Panic Shuffle " as his Xyz Monster was targeted by an opponent ' s card effect . It switches all monsters on the field to Defense Position and prevent them from switching again until the End Phase . Then , all Spell and Trap Card s in both players ' Graveyards will be returned to their respective Decks . Two Graveyard portals manifest and two yellow beams fire out of one into Nash ' s Deck , while six fire out of the other into Quattro ' s . Nash says he managed to stave off defeat a little longer and Sets a card to end his turn . Nash thinks to himself that even after throwing away his humanity , Quattro is still trying to reach him with his white - hot passion ( in the dub , Nash thinks that now he is a Barian , he does not want to feel human again ) . His fist shaking , he thinks that he doesn ' t want that passion - he just wants Quattro to feel all - consuming hatred for him . Raising his arm , white energy discs radiate out from his hand and he tells Quattro that he wishes to show him something . Five screens appear in front of Quattro , where he can see the progress of the other Duels . Dextra vows that she can ' t give up yet as she gets to her feet . Bronk tells Yuma to wait for him - he will reforge his bonds with Rio ( in the dub , Bronk says he is down , but not out just yet ) . Nistro tells Alito that no matter how many times he is punched , he will continue to rise for Yuma ' s sake ( in the dub , Nistro promises to go all - out against his opponent ) . Kaze claims that even if their bodies perish , the " blades of their hearts " will never shatter ( in the dub , Kaze says that even if his monsters are destroyed , his spirit will never be crushed ) . Roku agrees and says they ' ll protect Yuma even at the cost of their lives . Nelson claims that justice can never lose and Anna adds that love will always win and that she ' ll protect Yuma no matter what . Pointing at Mizar , she tells him to bring it on . In the car , Yuma finally regains consciousness , causing Tori to giggle happily . He struggles to speak and Cathy says she ' s glad to see he ' s alright . Yuma asks if everyone else is okay . Astral mutters his name , but Caswell perks up and claims that everyone is fine . Yuma mutters that he understands before closing his eyes again . Nash asks if Quattro is worried about what will become of his other friends and says that it is his " fanservice " to him ( in the dub , Nash taunts Quattro by pointing out that his friends are failing miserably ) . A large energy blast hits Anna and Nelson , reducing them both to 0 Life Points . As " Neo Galaxy - Eyes Tachyon Dragon " vanishes , Mizar simply says " farewell . " Anna apologizes to Yuma , while Nelson expresses shock that the " hero of justice " has lost ( in the dub , Nelson mutters that the good guys do not always win ) . They both vanish and their souls fly towards the Barian World . Girag claims that no matter what his opponents do , they are helpless before " Giant Red Hand " . Clasping his fist , he says he will crush them in the palm of his hand . A large fire attack hits both Roku and Kaze , with Kaze saying he has no regrets before vanishing . Roku apologizes to Yuma , disappointed that he won ' t see his apprentice grow up ( in the dub , Kaze mutters , " I ' m . . . done " , while Roku begs Yuma to forgive him for his failure ) . Alito harshly tells Nistro to burn and suffer from the heat and boasts that his fists will burn him to pieces until the fires of malice reduce him to nothing ( in the dub , Alito says it has been fun , but it ' s time to end the Duel ) . " Comet Cestus " fires a beam and Nistro is reduced to 0 Life Points . He says that the Duel was pretty exciting ( in the dub , Nistro remarks that his temper got the better of him ) , but apologizes to Yuma for failing to pay the Barians back and repay his debt to Yuma . Dumon tells Dextra she fought well , but tells her to rest now as his attack blasts her backwards . Featured Duels . Nash vs . Quattro . " Duel continues from the previous episode " .
