Both Yuma and Astral are blown back . Quattro and Trey each have their own thoughts about Yuma ' s move , with Trey being impressed . Since the damage came from a Number , Astral ' s presence begins to flicker , but tells Yuma he ' s used to the way Yuma Duels and that it can ' t be helped , making Yuma grin , getting up . Kite asks him why did it , and doesn ' t show much sign of appreciation when Yuma tells him he wants to help bring Hart back . Kite ends his turn . Tori angrily says Kite should at least thank Yuma , but Orbital 7 asks her to forgive Kite , since he ' s quite desperate . Vetrix enters Hart ' s memories during his ritual , arriving at a time where Kite and Hart weren ' t involved with the " Numbers " yet . Kite caught a butterfly , and shows it to Hart . He watches at it as it ' s in a little cage , asking Kite is he can release it , since it would be sad if it had to be imprisoned . Kite says he ' s a very kind child , and Orbital , revealed to be with them , watches as the butterfly takes off . Vetrix then opens his eye in reality , stating he will take all of Hart ' s memories . Kite urges Trey to draw quickly , watching Hart squirm on the screen . Yuma calls Quattro names , also showing a dislike for Quattro ' s stalling . Trey asks his brother if he ' s overdoing it , but the latter reminds Trey of their own pain . Trey starts his turn . He uses his Numbers ' powers again , by increasing its own ATK to 3200 with " Chronomaly Pyramid Eye Tablet " , this time damaging Yuma ' s Life Points , with Quattro commenting that the ' trash ' Life Points will gone in no time now . " Machu Mech " attacks " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " , whose ATK was depleted to zero , but Kite saves himself with his Trap card , " Battle Simulation " , halving the ATK of both monsters and preventing them from being destroyed in battle , though the impact knocks Kite down , reducing his Life Points to 1600 . Yuma runs over to Kite to see if he ' s okay , but Kite gets up , shouting he still has Life Points left . However , Quattro , not impressed , tells Kite off . Kite gets angry at Quattro , and Yuma tells him to calm down , which only angers Kite further , telling Yuma he doesn ' t know anything about how he feels . Yuma agrees but tells he won ' t accept those feelings and will help save Hart no matter what . He tells his philosophy on Dueling again ; it ' s no tool for anger or revenge , and will show them his " kattobingu " spirit . Astral tells him to do his best , and Yuma draws " Monster Reborn " , which lets him revive the earlier destroyed " " . Telling the brothers his monster ' s power doesn ' t end with this , Yuma and Astral perform a Chaos Xyz Evolution to Xyz Summon " " , stunning both Trey and Quattro , and making the watching Quinton think of something , when he says Yuma ' s last name , " Tsukumo . " Kite remains unimpressed , having already seen Utopia Ray , and Tori gets excited about it . Trey remarks he has never heard of " Chaos Numbers " before , implying even the Vetrix Family doesn ' t know about them . Yuma uses the effect of " Utopia Ray " , " Overlay Charge " effect which boosts its ATK to 3000 , and lowers that of " " to 500 . Yuma then commands " Utopia Ray " to to attack " Giant Grinder " with " Rising Sun Chaos Slash " , destroying " Giant Grinder " . Quattro activates " Gimmick Box " , preventing himself from taking damage . As a bonus , the " Gimmick Box " trap becomes a Level 8 monster on his field . Yuma ends his turn . Quattro comments to Yuma and Kite to think they can really beat him . As Quattro begins his turn and his crest glows , he draws and activates " Junk Puppet " , targeting 1 " Gimmick Puppet " with 1000 ATK or less in his Graveyard and Special Summoning in Defense Position . Chains appear from the " Junk Puppet " card and dig into the ground , reviving " Gimmick Puppet Dreary Doll " . Quattro overlays his 2 DARK monsters to Xyz Summon " " . Quattro then attacks Galaxy - Eyes and Kite shows true fear , thinking that he has failed to save Hart . Yuma springs into action once again , activating " Trap Reborn " and giving up his dwindling life points to remove from play " Battle Simulation " and activate it subsequently , dropping Kite ' s Life Points to a mere 100 . A frustrated Quattro declares that their interference with his " fanservice " is completely unacceptable and activates the effect of " Gimmick Puppet of Strings " to ensure Kite and Yuma will lose at the end of the next turn , by destroying all of their monsters and inflicting damage equal to their ATK to their controllers . He laughs as " Galaxy - Eyes " and " Utopia Ray " are ensnared by red strings , while they bounce harmlessly off a shield when they try to attach to " Machu Mech " . As Kite lies on the ground , not responding , Yuma urges him to get up for Hart ' s sake , desperately asking who would protect Hart from then on if he didn ' t . At this point , Kite begins to remember the day a tearful Hart was taken away from him , while Mr . Heartland tells him to work for Dr . Faker if he wants to see his brother again . An infuriated Kite , separated from Hart by many barred walls , tries to punch Mr . Heartland , only to realize it was a hologram talking to him . Mr . Heartland gave him a sinister smile before disappearing . Vetrix , meanwhile , is shocked when Hart appears before him , declaring the masked boy will no longer hurt the Tenjo brothers again . The chains restraining Hart and Vetrix disappear , and they drift slowly to the ground , alerting Quinton that something has happened to disrupt the ritual . Back at the Duel , a burst of red energy strikes Kite , imbuing his Extra Deck with a new power and causing him to glow red . He calls out to Astral for his help in defeating the Vetrix brothers and draws his next card . Yuma and Astral agree to help Kite with their monsters . Quattro tries to drive home the hopelessness of their situation , but Kite ignores him and activates , " Overlay Regen " , attaching the top card of each players Deck as an Overlay Unit to a Xyz Monster they control , and then Tributes Yuma ' s monsters to summon " Photon Caesar " , which possesses an effect allowing him to Xyz Summon a Rank 8 with 3 Xyz materials , including " Galaxy - Eyes " . Forming a red and black spear in his hand , Kite declares " Overflowing galaxy , become the striking light , and show yourself . Descend , my very Soul ! " Neo Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon ! ! " All the combatants and observes are amazed by the evolved " Galaxy - Eyes " , appearing with 4500 ATK . Kite proceeds to activate the effect of " Neo Galaxy - Eyes , " which , when using " Galaxy - Eyes , " as Xyz Material , allows him to negate the effects of every other card on the field . Trey is shocked that Kite ' s monster can use its effect without using an Overlay Unit . Then Kite activates " Neo Galaxy - Eyes ' " second effect , targeting both " Machu Mech " and " Puppet of Strings " , and taking all their Overlay Units for " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " to increase its ATK by 500 points for each - to 6000 . Kite attacks , destroying " Machu Mech " with " Ultimate Photon Stream of Destruction , " and wiping out Trey ' s life points . Quattro cries out to his brother in concern , but as the effect of " Neo Galaxy - Eyes " lets it attack multiple times , Kite declares he hopes Quattro has said his prayers . Quattro turns to Kite furiously , but his retort is held back as he realizes that he ' s next . Kite declares the attack of " Neo Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " again , and attacks with " Ultimate Photon Stream of Destruction , " destroying " Gimmick Puppet of Strings . " The attack blasts Quattro back , and he screams as his Life Points decrease to 0 . Featured Duel : Yuma Tsukumo and Kite Tenjo vs . Trey and Quattro . " Duel continues from the previous episode .
