Summary
Astral fights Yuma with no mercy, constantly swarming his field with "Numbers" with the effect of the "King of Numbers", "Utopia Kaiser". Faced by this ordeal, Yuma shows Astral how much's he's grown with their past Duels.
Featured Duel: Yuma Tsukumo vs. Astral
Duel continues from the previous Rank.
Turn 4: Astral
Astral activates the effect of "Number 93: Utopia Kaiser" (☆ 12/2500/2000/4 ORU): since it's got four Xyz Materials, it allows Astral to Special Summon "No. 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings" (☆ 8/3000/2000/2 ORU), "No. 66: Master Key Beetle" (☆ 4/2500/800/2 ORU), "No. 6: Chronomaly Atlandis" (☆ 6/2600/3000/2 ORU) and "No. 9: Dyson Sphere" (☆ 9/2800/3000/2 ORU) from his Extra Deck with their effects negated, having 1 Xyz Material detached afterwards (4 → 3). Next, Astral activates "Numbers Exist", reducing the ATK of "Atlandis" to zero and increasing the ATK of "Strings" by the amount of ATK "Atlandis" lost (ATK 3000 → 5600). He attacks "No. S39: Utopia the Lightning" (☆ 5/2500/2000/3 ORU) with "Strigns", but Yuma activates his face-down "Ghost of a Grudge", reducing the ATK of "Strings" to zero since Astral has 13 monsters in his Graveyard. "Utopia the Lightning" destroys "Strings", but the effect of "Utopia Kaiser" reduces the damage to Astral to zero. During the End Phase, the last effect of "Utopia Kaiser" activates; since one of Astral's "Numbers" was destroyed, he destroys Yuma's "Utopia the Lightning". Also, the effect of "Numbers Exist" wears off, returning the ATK of "Atlandis" to 2600.
Turn 5: Yuma
Since there are 2 or more monsters in Yuma's Graveyard, Yuma Normal Summons "Gagaga Head" (★ 6/2100/2000) with no tributes. The effect of "Gagaga Head" then activates, Special Summoning "Gagaga Magician" (★ 4/1500/1000) and {{Monster|Gagaga Girl (manga)} from Yuma's Graveyard. Yuma then uses the effect of "Gagaga Head" to Xyz Summon "No. 39: Utopia" (☆ 4/2500/2000/3 ORU) from his Graveyard using "Head", "Magician" and "Girl" as Xyz Materials. Since Yuma has Xyz Summoned using only "Gagaga" monsters as Xyz Materials, the effect of "Gagaga Girl" activates, reducing the ATK of "Atlandis" to zero; the last effect of "Gagaga Head" activates as well, allowing Yuma to draw 3 cards, since he's used three "Gagaga" monsters as Xyz Materials. Yuma activates "Hope Buster", destroying "Atlandis". Next, he activates "Blustering Winds", increasing the ATK and DEF of "Utopia" by 1000 until the next turn (ATK 2500 → 3500). "Utopia" attacks and destroys "Dyson Sphere", with the effect of "Utopia Kaiser" reducing the damage to Astral to zero. Yuma Sets 2 cards.
Turn 6: Astral
Astral activates the effect of "Utopia Kaiser": since it's got three Xyz Materials, it allows Astral to Special Summon three "Numbers" from his Extra Deck; Yuma activates his face-down "Tin Balloons", which would Special Summon three "Balloon Tokens" to Astral's remaining Monster Card Zones, but Astral activates "Spirit Forsight", allowing Yuma to Special Summon only one "Balloon Token" instead, and drawing 2 cards, since he's negated two of Yuma's Special Summons. The effect of "Utopia Kaiser" resolves, Special Summoning only two "Numbers": "No. 46: Dragluon" (☆ 8/3000/3000/2 ORU) and "No. 61: Volcasaurus" (☆ 5/2500/1000/2 ORU). Next, Astral activates "Battle Purification", returning the ATK of "Utopia" to normal (ATK 3500 → 2500). Yuma activates "Rival Clash", making Astral have to attack first with the monsters he controls with the highest ATKs. He attacks "Utopia" with "Dragluon", "Volcasaurus" and "Key Beetle", but Yuma activates the effect of "Utopia" three times, detaching all of its Xyz Materials to negate the three attacks. Next, he attacks and destroys "Utopia" with "Utopia Kaiser", with the latter's effect preventing its own destruction. Astral Sets a card.
Turn 7: Yuma
Yuma activates "Eternal Bonds", Special Summoning "Utopia" back from his Graveyard while increasing its ATK by the ATKs of all "Utopia" monsters in his Graveyard (ATK 7501).
Duel continues in the next Rank.
