ZEXAL Ep. 4 - Turnaround Countdown! The Reversal is Astral!?

Hey, YuJaYu here! Finally, here is the review and summary for Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL Episode 4 - "Turnaround Countdown! The Reversal is Astral!?" First, summary: Yuma finds out that Professor Ukyo's Numbers monster, Computer Beast Terabyte, can take control of Yuma's Level 4 or lower monsters. Yuma's Life is now at 3200, and the virus bomb will detonate in 20 minutes. Astral declares his turn (which Yuma protests) and Yuma draws. Todoroki wonders why Yuma talks to himself and Kotori tells him to ignore it; it's just Yuma being Yuma. Astral advises Yuma to play Ganbara Knight, but Yuma tells him to stay out of this. Astral tells Yuma that there is a Numbers in this Duel, and if they lose, he will be obliterated. Astral tells him he is not strong enough to win, and Yuma becomes so angry, he says he will do the opposite of anything Astral advises him to do in the Duel. Yuma then summons Achacha Archer, which deals 500 points of damage to the opponent when summoned, dropping Ukyo to 3500. But with Ukyo's trap, Damage Vaccine Omega MAX, he can regain all Life Points lost this turn. Yuma is shocked that his move was useless, and Todoroki starts to cry about the virus bomb being started by himself. Meanwhile, Akari continues to search for the switch to the virus bomb in the virtual labyrinth. On Ukyo's turn, he activates Computer Beast Terabyte's effect detaching an Overlay Unit to control Yuma's Gogogo Golem. He then activates Continuous Spells Virus Mail and Cracking; Virus Mail lets Gogogo Golem attack directly at the cost being destroyed at the end of the turn, and Cracking deals 800 points of damage to Yuma when a monster is destroyed. Gogogo Golem attacks directly, dealing 1800 points of damage, and Cracking deals 800 more, leaving Yuma at 600 LP. Astral starts to fade away because of Yuma's low LP, and Todoroki gives Yuma moral support by calling him an "Unrecognized Genius". Astral makes Observation No. 6: "Humans work harder when praised", so Astral tries this for himself, but utterly fails. Akari finds a Bugman guarding the gate, so she uses her avatar to combat it. An elevator takes the Duel to the top of the tower, and Yuma draws, summoning Goblindbergh. Astral attempts reverse psychology, to which Yuma replies by playing the exact card Astral wanted, Ganbara Knight. Then Yuma, with a "Kattobingu da ore!", overlays his monsters to Exceed Summon No. 39 Aspiring Emperor Hope! Meanwhile, Akari beats up the Bugman with her Karate Glove but it rises up again. Ukyo draws for his turn, and uses his monster's effect to detach an Overlay Unit and take control of Achacha Archer. Ukyo attacks directly, but Hope's effect negates an attack at the cost of one Overlay Unit. Ukyo activates trap card, Bug Switch, putting Terabyte in ATK mode and calling Super Bugman in DEF mode. Super Bugman switches all ATK position monster's ATK with their DEF. Using Hope, Yuma manages to ride out the turn without damage. Yuma draws and overlays Zubaba Knight and Achacha Archer to Exceed Summon No. 17 Revise Dragon! Astral tells Yuma to activate Thunder Shot Spell Card, and it inflicts 1000 points of damage to Ukyo, who activates another Damage Vaccine Omega MAX, regaining the lost Life. Yuma then activates Unprepared Danger, destroying Super Bugman, so all monsters are at full power. Yuma attacks with his Numbers, dealing 4500 damage and expelling the darkness from Professor Ukyo. Astral then absorbs his Numbers monster, Terabyte. They are too late to stop the virus however, and it detonates. But, it is completely harmless, and it forms a giant virtual Bugman. Ukyo did it because he loves happiness, and wanted everyone else to be happy. Astral makes Observation No. 7: "The Number cards are my memory pieces, and they create the darkness inside the ones who make contact with them". That's it for summary, review time! I though the episode was okay, but it needs less two-parter Duels, and the characters need to get more developed. I only like Astral so far, and it's only because he knows how to Duel, unlike Yuma, Kotori, etc. But it's okay, and hopefully it'll get better. Next episode: "The Other Side of the Duel"! That's it for now; YuJaYu out!!! Or should I say, "Kattobingu da, ore!!!"
