Number

The Numbers Monsters are a series of special Exceed Monsters whose names begin with. According to the story of Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, there are ninety-nine of them, but so far, only five of them are known.

Story
When Astral first appears to Yuma Tsukumo in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, it is revealed that he is trying to retrieve his lost memories, which have transformed into the ninety-nine "Numbers Cards". When they are Summoned, their respective numbers are printed on their users. They have been shown to be very dangerous, as their users are easily possessed by their power (with the exception of Yuma). It is said that these Numbers monsters cannot be killed with cards in this world. However, when two or more Numbers confront themselves in a Duel they'll fight each other to consume one another. When a Numbers is defeated in a Duel by Yuma, Yuma obtains it, and its power is absorbed into Astral.

It is for this reason that Astral teams up with Yuma.

Kaito Tenjo claims that the Numbers will destroy the world and wishes to destroy them.

Abilities
In the anime, Numbers have a few "special" abilities that are unique. Numbers can only be destroyed by another Numbers. The Numbers amplify the darkness and desires of humans, whether these cause good or destruction. Also, when Summoned, Numbers have a special form that they first appear as, then they transform into their artwork. When a Numbers is defeated, they are absorbed into Astral, and can be used by any duelist whom Astral is currently with to battle another Numbers. Each Numbers contains a piece of Astral's memory, which he recovers each time he absorbs one.

Members
Each Numbers monster has its respective number showing on a part of its body.
