Summary
Yuma, who is unable to keep up with Ryoga's pro-level dueling skills, is getting pummeled by Shark's attacks and begins to lose hope. It is then that he appears in front of the gate from his dream and uses his pendant to open it, causing Ryoga to get possessed by numbers and become even stronger. At that moment a mysterious entity called Astral appears and tells Yuma to "stand up and win"

Ryoga explains that a number can only be destroyed by another number, so No. 17 Revise Dragon is not destroyed.

Ryoga normal summons "Drill Barnacle" (ATK: 300) next activates "No. 17 Revise Dragon's" effect, sending the other Exceed Material Monster on it to the Graveyard (ATK: 2500 -> 3000) and then attacks "Gogogo Golem" (Yuma 1000 -> 800 LP) next "Drill Barnacle" attacks directly (Yuma 800 -> 500 LP) and "Drill Barnacle's" effect activates raising it's ATK (ATK:300 -> 1300).
