Luna muses that this energy abnormality couldn ' t be Haruto , and then she dashes off , telling Tetsuo and Tokunosuke to follow her . Tokunosuke is dismayed that there will be more running . Shark asks after Yagumo ' s little brother , and Yagumo , with " " on his field , explains that he never told Shark , but his brother was his only family . They were an average happy family , but their lives were turned upside down five years previously after their parents died in an airplane crash , and Kyoji ended up in an orphanage while his brother went to a foster home . It hurt ; losing his only family member made Kyoji feel unimaginably lonely . He didn ' t want them to get separated , but he was just a child , so there was nothing he could do . Yagumo remembers sitting under a tree , crying over a portrait of his family , and he admits that he often thought about going to find him , but he held himself back as he didn ' t want to ruin his brother ' s happiness . Rather , Kyoji believed that if they both lived then they would meet up again somewhere . Then he discovered " Duel Monsters " , where the Champion on TV shone brilliantly , and Kyoji thought that his brother would see him if he became champion ; even come find him . From then on , Kyoji pinned all his hopes on " Duel Monsters " and studied hard to get stronger , but the day that he stole the champion ' s Deck , he caved under the pressure , feeling that he had to win , and he was certain that he lost his dream for good . But Shark took the fall , giving Koyji a chance to see his brother . And eventually , a year ago , Kyoji became the Far East Duel Champion . The world that waited for him sparkled ; just like Shark wanted , Kyoji became everyone ' s hope . But no matter how people crowded around Kyoji , his heart was empty . The only person he wanted to see was his brother , Yuji Yagumo . And then one day he received an email on his D - Pad ; the one that he had been waiting for . Shark nervously asks what happened to Yagumo , and he replies that he already told Shark ; it was hell . Six months previously , Kyoji was finally reunited with his brother . . . At the destroyed Heartland Tower , Orbital 7 is desperately searching for Haruto ' s signal , while Kotori , Cathy , Takashi and Cologne watch him , and Cologne angrily asks if Orbital can ' t find it . Luna rushes up to them , explaining that she knows where Haruto is ; he ' s inside the monument hanging between the two towers . Kotori protests that the monument is also a bomb , and Tetsuo tells Luna and Kotori to go on ahead ; Orbital 7 enters his flight mode and they grab his feet as Orbital declares that he ' s coming for Haruto . He rams through the outer shell of the monument , and they find Haruto embedded in a giant cross with large cables connected to it . The screen in the arena where Yuma and Kaito are Dueling shows them the view of Haruto , and Kaito yells his brother ' s name . Kotori explains to Yuma that Haruto is inside the monument , while Astral observes the light surrounding Haruto and he wonders if it ' s " Number " energy . Luna tells them to stop the Duels , since Yagumo is using them to collect " Number " energy . Yuma immediately calls his Duel off , but Yagumo tells him that it isn ' t off ; the device is keeping Haruto alive , so if they stop it he will die . Kaito immediately tells Yuma to keep Dueling , with both players still on 4000 LP . Yuma protests , but Astral reminds him that they have to do something about " Galaxy Eyes " ; " " only has 2500 ATK compared to the 4000 ATK " Galaxy Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon " . Yuma replies that he knows ; he hasn ' t given up . He activates the Spell Card , " Xyz Treasure Ticket " since he controls a Rank 4 or lower Xyz Monster , allowing him to draw cards equal to its Rank ; " Utopia " is Rank 4 , so he draws four cards . Astral encourages Yuma to do it , and Yuma activates the Spell Card " Utopia Buster " since he controls " Utopia " , destroying the monster Kaito controls with the lowest ATK and inflicts its ATK to him as damage . " Utopia " fires the massive cannon , and Astral declares that if this hits it will reduce Kaito ' s LP to zero . But Kaito tells Yuma that it was a nice try , and he activates the effect of " Galaxy Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon " since his opponent activated a card effect , detaching all of its Overlay Unit s to banish both it and one of Yuma ' s monsters from the field until the end of the turn . Yuma gasps that " Full Armor Photon " has the original " Galaxy Eyes " effect , but Astral clarifies that the effect is even stronger because it can negate effects . He muses that he does not like this ; when " Galaxy Eyes " returns to the field , they will be at a tremendous disadvantage , and he instructs Yuma to place some card . Yuma Set s three cards , ending his turn . Kaito tells " Galaxy Eyes " to return to him , and both " Full Armor Photon Dragon " and " Utopia " return to the field without their Overlay Units . Kaito declares his turn and he draws , then he activates the Equip Spell Card " Galaxy Shot " , equipping it to " Galaxy Eyes " and allowing him to Release it to inflict its ATK as damage to his opponent after it has already done so . It attacks with the twin cannons of " Galaxy Shot " , impacting " Utopia " and reducing Yuma to 2500 LP . Then Kaito Releases the 4000 ATK " Galaxy Eyes " and bids Yuma goodbye .
