Shining Draw Shining Draw ( シャイニング ・ ドロー " Shainingu Dorō " ) is an ability native to the denizens of Astral World in the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL " anime which allows a Duelist to draw any card they wish , to the point of sometimes creating a new card during a Duel . More often than not , the " ZW - " monsters are the result of this draw . This ability can be utilized by Yuma Tsukumo and Astral when they merge their souls using ZEXAL , but this can only be done outside of the Human World , or in a location on Earth that mimics alternate dimensions . History . Astral performed a Shining Draw to conclude his battle against Don Thousand . In this way , he defeated Thousand , but lost most of his memories , which manifested in the form of fifty " Number " cards that scattered across the Human World . Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL . During Astral ' s Duel against Kite Tenjo within the Emperor ' s Key , Yuma Tsukumo was able to enter the key and merge with Astral via ZEXAL . Their first Shining Draw resulted in " ZW - Unicorn Spear " , which enabled them to counter the effect s of " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " and let " " safely battle it . However , Kite ended the Duel in a draw using " Photon Shock " . In the Duel against Trey , " Final Prophecy " opened the gateway to the Barian World . Here , Yuma and Astral combined with ZEXAL and used Shining Draw to draw " ZW - Phoenix Bow " , which countered the effects of " " . During the final match of the World Duel Carnival against Vetrix , the Sphere Field enabled Yuma and Astral to combine with ZEXAL . Using the effect of " Seven Store " , they performed a " Triple Shining Draw " . Here , they drew " ZW - Lightning Blade " , a " ZW - " support card called " ZEXAL Catapult " and a card that had previously existed , " Half Unbreak " . These were used to counter Vetrix ' s " " , but Vetrix revealed another effect of that card , countering Yuma ' s move . Yuma proceeded to perform a " Final Shining Draw " on his next turn , this time bringing out " ZW - Tornado Bringer " . Even this card and " Lightning Blade " combined failed , as Vetrix used " Heraldry Burst " to return them to the hand . " ZEXAL Catapult " and " Amarylease " enabled Yuma to Summon both cards again and he overlaid them to create " ZW - Leo Arms " , a " ZW - " Xyz Monster . This monster allowed Yuma to perform a second Battle Phase and negate the effects of " Heraldry Crest " , finally defeating Vetrix . After the Duel ' s conclusion , they remained in ZEXAL form and Yuma used " Lightning Blade " to anchor himself to the side of the Sphere Field in an attempt to rescue Vetrix when the the field moved to absorb both Duelists . During the Duel against Vector and Dr . Faker , the power was utilized again after Hart Tenjo lowered the Sphere Field away from the Sphere Field Cannon . Yuma drew " ZW - Ultimate Shield " and activated its first effect to return " Utopia Ray " , Shark ' s " " and Kite ' s " Neo Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " back to the field . He equipped " Ultimate Shield " to " Utopia Ray " and strengthened its DEF with " Xyz Unity " to transfer all three Xyz Monsters ' DEF to the ATK of " Utopia Ray " and sending it to attack " " . The other effect of " Ultimate Shield " negated the effect of " Heart - eartH Dragon " that would inflict effect damage , letting " Utopia Ray " destroy it and win the Duel . This released Dr . Faker from Vector ' s possession and temporarily ended the machination to destroy the Astral World . Yu - Gi - Oh ! ZEXAL II . After Alito revealed his true identity as one of the Seven Barian Emperors , he Dueled Yuma within a Barian Sphere Cube . Here , ZEXAL was enacted and Shining Draw was used to create " ZW - Eagle Claw " , which could negate the activation of Alito ' s many Trap Card s , shattering Alito ' s defense and allowing Yuma to win the Duel . Number 96 ' s collaboration with Vector resulted in him gaining Chaos and causing a dimensional rift that began to destroy Earth , the Astral World and the Barian World . Number 96 used " Chaos Field " to take " " and " " from Yuma and perform Rank - Up s on them , resulting in " " and " " . Using " Xyz Treasure " , Yuma drew four cards via Shining Draw - " Utopian Hope " , " Overtake Summon " , " ZW - Asura Strike " and " ZW - Sleipnir Mail " . This combination enabled Yuma to destroy " Number Lockdown " and prevent " Chaos Field " from being used again before defeating Number 96 . However , Number 96 ' s subsequent strike grievously injured Astral , who was forced to return to the Astral World to heal . Yuma journeyed to the Astral World in an attempt to retrieve Astral . He was confronted by Eliphas , the embodiment of the Astral World ' s desires . Eliphas demonstrated the ability to perform Shining Draw " at will " , using the ability to build a combination on his field that allowed him to continually Rank - Up his " New Order " monsters and make them extremely difficult to defeat in battle , as well as give him more opportunities to draw cards , and thus perform more Shining Draws . However , Yuma being Astral ' s missing half gained the ability to perform a Shining Draw on his own . Disgusted by Eliphas ' assertions that the Astral World must continually Rank - Up to better itself , Yuma created " Rank - Down - Magic Numeron Fall " , which let him Rank - Down " Utopia " into " " . This Rank 1 monster was able to use the effects of " " and its overwhelming amount of Overlay Units against Eliphas and win Yuma the Duel . Vector and Don Thousand ' s machinations resulted in the Human and Barian Worlds beginning to merge . Yuma and Astral returned to confront Mr . Heartland after Kite Tenjo was unable to continue the Duel against him . Here , they used Shining Draw to create " ZS - Vanish Sage " , which they combined with Kite ' s " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " to destroy Heartland ' s " Infection Bug Token s " and win the Duel . During the final Duel against Don Thousand in cooperation with Nash , Yuma and Astral utilized this power multiple times . First , they drew " Re - Xyz " , enabling them to Xyz Summon " " from their Graveyard . Then , via " Xyz Treasure " , they performed three more Shining Draws , amongst the draws was " ZS - Ouroboros Sage " , which he combined with " " and Nash ' s " " . This nearly defeated Thousand ' s " " , but a previously unseen effect of that card enabled Thousand to survive . Using " Session Draw " , Yuma and Nash were both able to draw a card during their next Draw Phase . Yuma used Shining Draw to draw " ZW - Tornado Bringer " , prompting Nash to use Chaos Draw to draw " Panther Shark " . This let them overlay their monsters via " Session Draw " and Summon " " . Between " Utopia " , " Abyss Splash " and " " , Yuma and Nash were able to defeat " " after using " Bonds of Hope " , " Utopia Rising " and " Double or Nothing ! " to augment their monsters ' powers . During their final rematch with Nash , Yuma and Astral used Shining Draw , to draw an unspecified card , which had to have been " Rank - Up - Magic Astral Force : , though process of elimination . Later , he used it again to draw " ZW - Sylphid Wing " , which would have let " Utopia " safely battle " CXyz Barian Hope " . Due to Nash ' s " Draw of Fate " , one more Shining Draw was used , this time to draw " Double or Nothing ! " . In the ceremonial Duel between Yuma and Astral , both players performed Shining Draws . Yuma drew " Halfway to Forever " , letting him end a battle and Xyz Summon from his Graveyard , creating " " . Via this move , Astral determined that Yuma was the other half that was lost during his engagement against Don Thousand eons ago . Astral himself performed a Shining Draw ( referred to as a " Cosmic Shining Draw " in the dub ) to draw " Hyper - Rank - Up - Magic Ultimate Force " , which he used to Summon " " . There have also been three one - off variants of Shining Draw ( one of which was only named so in the dub ) : Dark Draw . Dark Draw ( ダーク ・ ドロー " Dāku Dorō " ) is a malevolent counterpart of Shining Draw , used only once by Dark ZEXAL during a Duel against Vector . Compared to the " ZW - " monsters that regular Shining Draws frequently create , Dark Draw was used to create a " DZW - " monster , " Chimera Clad " . In the Duel , it was equip ped to " " , granting it the ability to prevent itself from being destroyed by battle , as well as doubling its ATK and allowing it to attack again . Destiny Shining Draw . During Yuma and Nash ' s Duel against Don Thousand , Yuma in ZEXAL III form once performed a Destiny Shining Draw using the effect of " Session Draw " . No particular differences are visible between this and a regular Shining Draw , however , except that it was used to draw a card that had previously be drawn with Shining Draw - " ZW - Tornado Bringer " . Cosmic Shining Draw . During the Ceremonial Duel , Astral performed what was called a Cosmic Shining Draw to create " Hyper - Rank - Up - Magic Ultimate Force " . This name was only used in the dub ; the Japanese version retains the regular Shining Draw name .
