Summary[]

Yuma Tsukumo aims to be the Duel champion, and Astral is the spirit who watches over him. However, Yuma, who is late, runs towards the first reunion of his team. He then meets Kotori, Tetsuo and Takashi, completing the Team ZEXAL. The other members complain about Yuma's delay, and explain that a Dueling Team is made in order to learn the rules of Dueling, creating new tactics and becoming stronger. Astral says being in a team can help Yuma Duel like him, and Yuma replies saying that's not true. However, only Yuma can see Astral, and the other members get confused. Kotori gets worried about having someone like Yuma as the team's leader, and then Tetsuo challenges Yuma to Duel, saying that if he beats Yuma again, he will be the leader instead. Yuma accepts the challenge, and they begin a Duel.
