Abyss is a character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime, being a mighty sea god and the spirit form of "Number 73: Abyss Splash" in the service of his master: the Barian Emperor Nash. He would first appear as the final Number's Guardian entrusted with two Mythyrian "Numbers" for Reginald Kastle to inherit after a Duel within an underwater temple to reawaken his original memories.
Design[]
Appearance[]
Abyss is fittingly similar to his card form, without the helmet. He has sky blue skin, light green eyes, and wears blue armor slashed with gold and adorned with aquamarine-colored stones. He also wears a gold headpiece on his forehead set with the same aquamarine-colored stone and has black hair and beard arranged in a similar way to Shark's hairstyle.
Abilities[]
As a spirit of a Mythyrian Number, Abyss possesses great power serving as the patron deity to Nash's kingdom; giving him power over the sea and to physically manifest his card form in battle against his enemies.
Abyss is also capable of possession and mind manipulation, which he did having control over Rio Kastle's body and reawakening Reginald's latent memories.[2] Similarly, he is also capable of saving Nash and Marin and sending their souls without their memories into Reginald and Rio Kastle, who had recently died in a car accident.[3]
Biography[]
History[]
Vector offered a blood sacrifice to Abyss in order to receive aid in the destruction of the United Lands of the Poseidon Ocean from the latter. As a result, Abyss laid waste to the city and killed many of the Kingdom's soldiers. Marin offered herself as a sacrifice afterwards to revive another god and purify Abyss of Vector's control.[4] Later, during Nash's attack on Vector's lands, Abyss aided Nash in fighting Vector's army. He was Summoned in Nash and Vector's Shadow Game.[5]
After Nash and Marin were trapped in a dark dimension by Vector, Abyss rescued them; offering to send their souls to Earth at the expense of their current memories, where their souls were transferred to Reginald Kastle and Rio Kastle after the latter siblings were killed after a car accident.[3]
Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL[]
When the Different Dimension Airship neared the undersea ruins, Abyss called out to Rio Kastle, who was on-board. He was eventually able to influence her enough to get her to jump off the ship. Shark, Yuma Tsukumo and Astral followed. They tracked Rio to the temple and were led through a maze, where they were separated. Shark reached the heart of the temple, where he found Abyss possessing Rio. Abyss claimed that he and Shark were destined to fight and urged Shark to "awaken", as he would inherit Abyss' power. Shark agreed to Duel and Abyss gained a great advantage through "Gorgonic Guardian". He proceeded to show Shark visions of his past life, when he was the king of the United Lands of the Poseidon Ocean[2]
Abyss insisted that just as his past life lost his sister, he would lose her here too, due to the weakness in his heart. Ceasing his control over Rio, she fell a great distance, but was caught by Yuma. Abyss then entrusted "Number 94: Crystalzero", the second Mythyrian "Number" tied to the ruins to Shark and told him to defeat him and reclaim his memories as the king who led the world. After his defeat, Abyss admitted to Shark that he was following orders from his past life to restore his former memories before disappearing, leaving his "Number" card to Shark.[4]
Deck[]
Abyss uses a '"Gorgonic" Deck while controlling Rio Kastle, focused on ATK reduction.
