Luna , Orbital 7 carrying Haruto , and the Numbers Club all land on Astral ' s boulder . Tears stream from Orbital ' s " eyes " as he tells Haruto that " snooty and sarcastic Master Kaito " saved his friends , and he cries that he ' s so glad that he didn ' t break . Cathy sweatdrops , commenting that Kaito is going to scrap Orbital when they get home . Kotori watches the Duel , whispering Yuma ' s name and thinking to herself that they can do it . With 8900 LP , Yagumo asks Kaito how dare he , as he faces Kaito , with 2000 LP , Yuma with 4000 , and Shark with 2800 . Yuma tells Yagumo to Summon all the tough monsters he wants , but he can ' t beat them now . Kaito agrees , much to Yagumo ' s fury , and Shark explains that they have something Yagumo doesn ' t and Astral declares that they have built a bond between them . The balls of light glow at their chests , and Yuma tells Kaito and Shark that Astral and he will pick up where they left off . He declares his turn and draws , and he and Astral examine his hand . Astral begins to explain what they can do with one of their cards , and Yuma replies that he knows ; he ' s got a plan to take Yagumo down . Astral tells Yuma to go , and Yuma Summons " Gagaga Magician " . Then he activates a Spell Card , " Gagaga Illusion " , Special Summon ing a monster from the Graveyard and matching its Level to that of " Gagaga Magician " . He tells Shark that he ' s borrowing his monster as he revives the Level 8 " Kaiser Sea Snake " , which becomes Level 4 . Shark comments that it ' s fine and he tells Yuma to take Yagumo out , and Yuma agrees that he will . He overlays " Kaiser Sea Snake " and " Gagaga Magician " to Xyz Summon " " , and then he holds up another card , chanting , " When the universe is in disorder , a single ray of hope descends to illuminate the chaos ! Shining Xyz Change ! Come forth ! ! " Yuma declares that it ' s the hope that they created , and Yagumo observes that the " Shining Number " has appeared . Yuma activates the " Pandora ' s Force " effect of " Utopia One " , reducing his LP to 1 and detaching all of its Overlay Unit s to banish all of Yagumo ' s monsters and inflict their ATK to him as damage , declaring that he will banish " " . Tokunosuke cheers the move , and Takashi cheers that Yuma is banishing Yagumo ' s ace monster in order to inflict massive damage . To Yuma and Astral ' s shock , Yagumo asks them if they really think that will work , and he activates an effect of " The Seven Sins " that he has yet to use , " Overlay Sacrifice " ; by destroying one of its Overlay Units , he can prevent it from being banished . " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " appears in front of " The Seven Sins " , to Yuma ' s surprise and Kaito ' s anger . As the " Pandora ' s Force " annihilates " Galaxy - Eyes " , Kotori cries that Yagumo blocked the effect of " Utopia One " , and Cathy tells Yuma to do something . Yagumo comments that it ' s too bad that Yuma ' s " bond " won ' t work on him . Yuma grins , and he comments that it ' s not true , while Astral explains that the attack just handed them their true bond . Yagumo flinches , and Yuma activates " Overlay Rebirth " , declaring that this is how strong their bond is . He can attach two monsters from the Graveyard to " Utopia One " as Overlay Units , and he chooses " Galaxy - Eyes " and " Bahamut Shark " . Yagumo asks in shock if Yuma used the effect of " Utopia One " just to regain access to " Galaxy - Eyes " , and Yuma agrees , before activating another Spell Card , " Ultimate Xyz " . He detaches Overlay Units from an Xyz Monster he controls and destroys a monster his opponent controls with lower ATK than their total and inflicts its ATK to Yagumo . Astral reminds Yagumo that the detached " Bahamut Shark " and " Galaxy - Eyes " have 2600 and 3000 ATK respectively , allowing them to destroy a monster with 5600 or less . As " The Seven Sins " only has 4000 ATK , it will be destroyed . " Utopia One " thrusts its hands forwards , and " Bahamut Shark " and " Galaxy - Eyes " materialize , charging towards " The Seven Sins " , which is subsequently ripped apart in a series of explosions , reducing Yagumo to 4900 LP . Tokunosuke cheers that Yuma did it , and Tetsuo cries that Yuma took down Yagumo ' s monster . Yagumo gasps Yuma and Astral ' s names , snapping that the attack isn ' t enough , but Yuma interrupts , claiming that his attack isn ' t over yet . He activates " Rank - Up - Magic Shining Force " , Ranking - Up a " Shining Number " to Xyz Summon one that is one Rank higher . Yagumo is shocked that Yuma is activating a " Rank - Up - Magic " now , and Yuma chants , " Solitary glimmer of hope ! Become a streak of lightning and leap from the darkness ! Shining Xyz Change ! ! " Yuma explains that as long as " Utopia the Lightning " has " Utopia One " as an Overlay Unit , its ATK is its Rank times 1000 ; for a total for 5000 ATK , much to Yagumo ' s shock . Kotori cheers that Yuma will win if the attack goes through , and Kaito notes that the attack can ' t be stopped once the Battle Phase begins . Shark tells Yuma to finish Yagumo , who asks if Yuma intends to shatter his dream . Yuma replies that he ' s always believed that anyone that he Duels becomes a friend , including Yagumo , which is why no matter his reasons , he can ' t let Yagumo destroy the world . Even if his dream comes true , it won ' t make Yagumo feel any better . Yagumo is quite struck by the statement , and Yuma states that Yagumo will still be alone , and regret it terribly . Refusing to let a friend suffer like that , Yuma vows to end Yagumo ' s dream and attacks directly with " Utopia the Lightning " . The " Hope Sword Lightning Slash " hits , and Tetsuo cheers that Yuma won as the girls clasp hands and Yagumo screams . Kaito asks if they won , and Shark mutter ' s Yagumo ' s name . But the smoke clears to reveal Yagumo with 100 LP , his hair falling from its spikes as he wheezes . Astral observes that Yagumo still has LP , and Yuma asks how . Speaking in another voice , Yagumo explains that he activated , as Shark outlines , a Trap Card , " Despair Struggle " , which activates when he takes damage while he has no other cards on his field . It allows him to reduce his LP to 100 , then draw a card for every 1000 points of damage that he would have taken . Shark asks who is speaking , and Yuma notes that it isn ' t Yagumo ' s voice as Yagumo draws five cards . Yagumo ' s hair droops down as darkness seeps from the ground around him , which Kaito recognizes as the darkness that possessed him during his second Duel with Yuma . Then it seeps from Yagumo ' s mouth and black sclera , surrounding him in a tornado of darkness . Kaito asks what it is , and Astral recognizes it while the Numbers Club cower in fear . A woman stands over Yagumo , over three times his height and cloaked in darkness . She explains that her name is E ' Rah , and that she is the deity of despair who will extinguish their light of hope . Featured Duel : Yuma Tsukumo , Kaito Tenjo & Ryoga " Shark " Kamishiro vs .
