Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL - Episode 135 " Dragon Strife , Part 2 " , known as " The Future Lies within This Hand ! Climax of the Galaxy Showdown ! ! " in the Japanese version , is the one - hundred and thirty - fifth episode of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL " anime . It first aired in Japan on December 29 , 2013 and on Hulu on December 7 , 2014 . Summary . Mizar gets to his feet and refuses to believe that " " would betray him like that , resuming his Barian form . Declaring himself to be the greatest dragon tamer , he orders a direct attack on Kite with " " ( these events are cut from the dub , as they took place in the previous episode ) . As the attack streams towards them , Orbital 7 declares he ' s engaging a Baria Crystal field . Red energy surges out like spider webs from Orbital ' s eye , forming a shield . The attack hits the shield and Yuma screams out Kite ' s name in concern ( in the dub , Yuma exclaims that the shield protected Kite and Orbital ) . Tori doesn ' t know what Kite can do if the attack keeps up . Kite grunts as some of the attack ' s energy makes it through the shield . Dr . Faker yells Kite ' s name , while Hart yells " big brother ! " . As more energy seeps through , Orbital asks if Kite is alright . He tells Orbital not to waste his time worrying about that ( in the dub , Kite replies he is fine and instructs Orbital to maintain the shield ) . Should the attack reduce him to scrap , Orbital asks Kite if he ' ll tell Lilly of how bravely he fought . Kite refuses , telling Orbital to tell her himself . Yuma , Hart and Faker yell out in concern again and Lilly says " good luck " . Hearing this , Orbital vows not to disgrace himself here and looks up at the Earth , which he once again sees as Lilly ' s face ( a shot of Lilly , as well as a shot of Orbital looking back at Earth is cut from the dub ) . The attack finally connects and electricity crackles over Kite ' s suit as he ' s thrown off his feet . Kite ' s Life Points fall to 250 as Yuma yells his name once more and Mizar ends his turn before saying that Kite held on by a thread ( in the dub , Mizar also suggests that Kite ' s best course of action is to surrender the Duel ) . More electricity crackles through Kite ' s suit , prompting Orbital to ask about Kite ' s condition . Kite claims he ' s fine and asks how Orbital is holding up . Orbital responds that 50 % of him has suffered significant damage . Mizar taunts that Kite ' s hand is zero and he has nothing on his field . He wonders if he ' ll be able to fight with his back against this much of a wall . Kite moves to draw , thinking to himself that this must be his Destiny Draw . He struggles to even draw the card . Orbital offers to assist him , knowing that Kite is damaged from all the attacks as well . Kite ' s hand glows with yellow energy as he and Orbital claim that this is " their " Destiny Draw . Looking at the card , Kite says the right one has come . He Set s a monster and ends his turn , struggling to remain on his feet . Mizar is disappointed that Kite was desperate enough to Set a monster like that . He draws , then activate s " Galactic Charity " , which lets him send one card in his hand to the Graveyard to draw two more cards . He sends " Energy Attractor " , then proceeds to activate " Tachyon Refresh " , allowing him to banish a monster he control s . He banishes " Neo Tachyon " , causing the equip ped " Galaxy Rebirth " to be sent to the Graveyard . Then , the banished monster is return ed to the field , so " Neo Tachyon " reappears . Kite ' s eyes widen as he realizes that " Neo Tachyon " has its original ATK now - 4500 . Mizar equips " Neo Tachyon " with " Tachyon Cannon " , causing a large accelerator cannon to clasp onto the feet of his dragon , the prongs stretching out in front of it . He explains that " Neo Tachyon " loses 500 ATK now , but after its initial attack , it may attack again by halving its ATK - and he can keep doing so until the ATK is less than 500 . Yuma stares in disbelief and Tori cries that Kite has no way out of this . Mizar orders his first attack and " Neo Tachyon " shoots out a massive energy ball from the cannon . Kite ' s Set monster flip s , revealing itself as " Galaxy Mirror Sage " - a Flip Effect Monster . Its Flip Effect increases Kite ' s Life Points by 800 . Yellow bolts crackle through Kite ' s fist and his Life Points rise to 1050 . " Galaxy Mirror Sage " vanishes in the attack , but Kite reveals that he can re - Set it now . Mizar claims such resistance is futile and Kite specifies that next time " Galaxy Mirror Sage " is destroy ed , it will be banished instead . Mizar activates the effect of " Tachyon Cannon " , causing both the cannon and " Neo Tachyon " to glow red as energy thrums through them . Its ATK falls to 2000 and Mizar orders his attack . " Galaxy Mirror Sage " flips again , increasing Kite ' s Life Points to 1850 . Mizar says that with that , " Mirror Sage " is banished , so Kite ' s trick will not work anymore . Mizar uses the effect of " Downfall Cannon " again , reducing " Neo Tachyon " to 1000 ATK and attacking directly . Kite is thrown off his feet and Orbital grunts Kite ' s name , in pain himself . Orbital ' s eye glows red with energy and says that he ' ll protect Kite . Mizar uses " Tachyon Cannon " again , reducing " Neo Tachyon " to 500 ATK and Kite ' s Life Points to 500 . Tori covers her eyes and begs for Mizar to stop ( in the dub , Tori mutters she can ' t watch this ) . Kite tries to rise , but Mizar uses the effect one more time for his final attack ( in the dub , Mizar remarks that he enjoys toying with Kite and considers it " good sport " ) - " Neo Tachyon " has 250 ATK now and Kite ' s Life Points fall to 100 . Faker grunts in shock , Hart yells " big brother " and Yuma yells Kite ' s name . As Kite ' s body flies backwards , his visor begins to crack and he lands spread - eagle on his back . Mizar Sets a card and declares the end of his turn . Electricity continues to crackle over Kite ' s suit . Orbital informs him that damage is at 90 % and they have only 3 % energy remaining regardless of that . Mizar taunts that it looks their jousting match is over already , then . Orbital begins to shut down , his eye flashing as he chokes out " Master Kite " . Yuma screams Kite ' s name and speaks through Orbital ' s intercom , telling Kite to pull himself together . Kite hears him and Yuma asks if he ' s well . Kite does not answer , but Mizar addresses Yuma by name instead . Yuma urges Mizar to listen to him - there is no reason for them to fight like this . Tori says they know what he saw - his real past . Astral tells him his noble soul was poisoned by Don Thousand and his false memories , which caused him to be cast into the Barian World , with his heart full of hatred and sorrow . He finishes by saying that the only reason they fight at all is because of Don Thousand ( in the dub , Tori is the one who tells Mizar that Don Thousand was behind everything ) . Mizar tells him that doesn ' t matter to him - he fights for the sake of the Barian s as one of the Seven Barian Emperors ( in the dub , Mizar says he is only fighting for himself ) . Astral insists there is nothing left to protect . Mizar has no idea what he means . Yuma informs him that Don Thousand and Vector have joined forces and Alito , Girag , Marin and Dumon were consumed by them . Mizar backs away in shock ; his eyes widen . He says this is impossible . Astral insists that it is true - there are no Barians left to protect - ( this exchange is cut from the dub ) and as long as he keeps using " Neo Tachyon " , he ' ll be under Don Thousand ' s curse . Mizar looks over his shoulder at " Neo Tachyon " and calls the notion absurd - it cannot be part of Thousand ' s curse ( in the dub , Mizar proclaims that his victory over Kite will prove he is the true " Galaxy - Eyes " master ) . Astral persists that it ' s true , but Kite interrupts him , now kneeling . Kite believes only he can release Mizar from the curse ( in the dub , Astral starts to say that Kite is unwell , but Kite interrupts , replying that he is fine and that this Duel can ' t be stopped ) . Yuma yells his name and Kite says this Duel will decide their future - Yuma and Astral should not be involved ( in the dub , Kite says this Duel is not over until one player wins ) . Yuma insists Kite must stop - he ' s been beaten to black - and - blue . Kite grunts in pain and claws his way to his feet , telling Yuma to remember that everyone must say good - bye someday , even if it was unexpected - and the same will apply to Yuma and Astral ( in the dub , Kite says some things must be seen through to the end , even if it means risking his life ) . Kite urges them to remember him and Orbital ' s eye glows red again . Yuma ' s jaw drops and even Mizar seems concerned , muttering Kite ' s name . Kite says this is probably his last turn and tells Mizar this is the moment of truth . He draws and Mizar is shocked he ' ll still continuing - his " Galaxy - Eyes " is gone and he has lost all of his own strength too . Kite insists the the light of the future has not faded away . Mizar asks " what ! ? " ( in the dub , Kite says he still has the hope to keep on going ) and Kite says " be reborn , the embodiment of light , capable of controlling the future itself " , his fist glowing blue . A pillar of blue energy shoots into the air and from it emerges " " once more , roaring . Mizar insists this is is impossible - there is no way " Prime Photon " could come back . Kite reveals that this effect activated before it had left the field . When it leaves , it will revive a number of turns later - equal to the number of Overlay Unit s it had when it left . When it was banished by " Tachyon Chaos Hole " , it had two Overlay Units - and now two turns have passed . Astral points out that " Neo Tachyon " has only 250 ATK right now , so if Kite ' s attack hits , he ' ll win . Mizar mutters the name of Kite ' s dragon , but insists that the strongest dragon is his " Neo Tachyon " - and he is the strongest dragon tamer . Mizar activates his face - down " Tachyon Unit " . By pay ing 500 Life Points , Mizar can activate the effect of " Neo Tachyon " that would usually detach Overlay Units . Kite simply says " what ! ? " as Mizar ' s Life Points fall to 200 and he activates the effect of " Neo Tachyon " ( in the dub , Kite mutters , " interesting , " and Mizar chides Kite for showing less enthusiasm about what is going on ) . The effects of all other cards on the field are negated , and the game state returns to how it was when the turn began . He declares " Time Tyrant " and rainbow energy engulfs the field . He reminds Kite that with " Tachyon Cannon " negated , the ATK of " Neo Tachyon " returns to 4500 . In addition , " Prime Photon " will vanish now . He laughs and tells " Prime Photon " to disappear from his sight . The rainbow energy engulfs " Prime Photon " and it begins to vanish , but the process suddenly reverses itself and " Prime Photon " emerges unscathed . Mizar is floored , having no idea what ' s happened . Kite tells him that " Neo Tachyon " did rewind time - but it can only rewind effects activated during this turn - and the effect of " Prime Photon " activated two turns ago . Kite insists his future cannot be controlled or changed , no matter how far back in time Mizar goes . Mizar believe it impossible that any card could supersede the effect of " Neo Tachyon " . He calms himself and points out that it still does not matter - " Neo Tachyon " has more ATK . Kite asks if he really thinks so and orders an attack with " Eternity Photon Stream " . Mizar tells " Neo Tachyon " to slay these would - be heroes and declares " Ultimate Tachyon Spiral of Destruction " . As the beams hit each other in the center of the field , Kite asks Mizar why he is a dragon tamer . Mizar seems confused , but Kite says he simply wants to know - why does Mizar tame them ( in the dub , Kite asks Mizar why he hates humans so much . Mizar replies that he has his reasons for that ) ? Kite comments that Mizar trusts dragons , but seems incapable of trusting other human beings . He says Mizar ' s eyes are quite similar to those of the dragon on the stone monument . Mizar recalls more of his past - armed soldiers sacked the village he lived in , slaying everyone , including his mother and father ( Mizar ' s parents are kidnapped in the dub ) . Mizar had to hide behind a building , before running off into the desert , crying . As he wandered aimlessly , he collapsed . A card suddenly appeared in his outstretched hand . Mizar managed to get to his feet and as he did , Jinlon appeared before him for the first time . In the present , Mizar tells Kite not to dare pity him ( in the dub , Mizar admits that his meeting with Jinlon made him scorn humans in the first place ) . Kite says he is not pitying him - he is saying that Mizar really is the strongest dragon tamer . Kite himself only ever wanted to save his little brother and father . He calls himself someone who just " used " dragons , really . He only borrowed the power of " Galaxy - Eyes " . He reflects that meeting " Galaxy - Eyes " has led him here though , making him stronger and stronger . It also allowed him to meet Yuma and Astral , as well as Reginald and many other friends . He adds that he was able to meet Mizar as well - and every person he met taught him that he could believe in other people , despite being someone who was lonely and could trust no one at first . He asks Mizar if he ' ll tell him what happened to him the next time they meet . Mizar just mutters Kite ' s name , but Faker calls out tearfully that Kite needs to stop now - it is already over . Hart urges him to stop as well . Kite raises his fist and declares he is activating the effect of " Prime Photon Dragon " . The turn it is Special Summon ed , he can multiply its ATK by the number of Overlay Units it had when it initially left the field . Mizar cannot believe it as the ATK rises to 8000 . The beam from " Prime Photon Dragon " overtakes the one from " Neo Tachyon " , causing a massive explosion . Mizar reverts to his human form and he ' s blasted into the air and off his feet . He lands hard on the surface of the Moon , his Life Points falling to 0 . As the Duel ends , a card flies from Mizar ' s chest , " Prime Photon " fades away into its own card and a third card flies from Kite ' s chest . " Number 107 : Galaxy - Eyes Tachyon Dragon " , " " and " Number 62 : Galaxy - Eyes Prime Photon Dragon " float above and then disperse into yellow energy . The ground shakes and rumbles as a bolt of lightning flies from the cards and from the moon ' s surface rises a , the number 100 flashing out as the dragon ' s long tail coils around itself . Mizar stares and states that this must be the true form of their " Galaxy - Eyes " . Kite mutters " Numeron Dragon " ( in the dub , Mizar is stunned upon seeing the new dragon , while Kite mutters that this must be the dragon from the legends ) . Orbital chokes out Kite ' s name and the dragon reverts to energy and appears in the form of a single card . It flies towards Kite , who catches it and reads the name - " " . Orbital says Kite has done it . Kite admits that Orbital helped him , though . Orbital ' s voice distorts as he shuts down , but he is pleased that Kite finally praised him . His last words are " thank you . . Mast . . " ( " P - permission to shut down , sir ? " in the dub ) Lilly thanks Orbital as well , her face flipping around to one with eyes filled with tears . Kite mutters Orbital ' s name and collapses completely . Mizar looks up in concern and Yuma yells Kite ' s name . Yuma urges Kite to pull himself together - he wants to Duel Yuma again , someday , right ? Yuma insists they never did settle things . Kite says that ' s true , but tells Yuma he is entrusting everything to him . Tears stream down Yuma ' s face and he yells that he has to rise so they can Duel again , his voice breaking . Kite urges him not to cry and insists he is their last hope ( in the dub , Yuma ' s promise to Duel Kite is not mentioned and he decides to go to the moon for Kite ' s aid ; Kite replies that he ' s okay for now ) . Hart yells " big brother " and Faker tells Kite he cannot die here ( in the dub , Faker has sent a medical transport to the moon ) . Kite informs Faker he has no regrets and he entrusts Hart to him , addressing him as " Father " ( in the dub , Kite replies that it ' s only a few nicks he was afflicted with ) . Hart screams " big brother " twice more . Mizar rises to his feet and walks over to Kite . Kite reaches out and Mizar crouches to take the offered " Numeron Dragon " card . Kite urges Mizar to follow whatever path he believes in . Kite ' s eyes finally close and the words " systems operation shutdown " appear on the inside of his visor and several beeps ring out ( Kite ' s visor readouts just after his death are cut from the dub ) . Tears stream down Mizar ' s face . Tori sobs , realizing what that sound meant . Yuma is still crying and even Astral hangs his head in sadness . Yuma recalls his various Duels against and alongside Kite and screams his name once more as the screen blurs out ( the scenes after Kite ' s death are also cut ) . In the Barian World , red electricity crackles around Vector as he transports the Number ruins of his past life to his location . Vector yells that this is where he and Nash will have their last brawl - and it will also be Nash ' s burial ground . Nash flies through a portal , screaming for Vector and Don Thousand to wait for him . Tears streaming down his face , Mizar vows never to forgive Don Thousand for this . Yuma has fallen to his knees and is muttering Kite ' s name . He remembers Kite ' s last words to him - that he should not cry and that he is their last hope . This gives him the strength to get to his feet . He says he ' s made his decision - he will cry no longer . He will win this war . He finishes by yelling " kattobingu " and adding that he ' s coming for both Vector and Don Thousand . Featured Duel : Kite Tenjo vs . Mizar . " Duel continues from the previous episode .
