==Summary==
Number 96 is a recurring antagonist and villain in Yu-Gi-Oh ZEXAL!. After the first battle between Astral and Don Thousand, a fragment of the latter's soul entered inside Astral and became a Number Card as a consequence alongside the first other 49 Numbers. After being sent to Earth, he possessed a mysterious man, then fought Yuma and Astral, and lost and got absorbed on purpose, just to take over Astral, but he was defeated and re-absorbed. One time, when Yuma and Astral were in trouble fighting a warrior sent to Earth by the Astral World, Astral was forced to free Number 96 to win the duel. After this, he went to South America, where he possessed a politician named Parker. There, after some time, he met Vector, who told him that he wanted to be his servant, gave him the Spell Card Rank-Up Magic: Barian's Force, and asked to help him find the 2nd Mythyrian Number. When they got it, Number 96 used it and his new Rank-Up Magic Spell in a duel against Astral, and evolved into a Chaos Number. he then proceeded to abandon Vector to master his new powers. Sometime later, when he finally managed to gain full control over his powers, he believed to have become a god, and violently attacked the 3 parallel worlds to attract Astral's attention. He dueled one final time against Yuma and Astral, and after his defeated, he tried taking over Astral's body once more, but he was sealed away. His power was then used by Vector and Don Thousand to create the Fake Number Cards.
