ZEXAL Ep. 6 - The Treacherous Numbers!?

Hey, YuJaYu here! This is the review and summary for Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL Episode 6 - "The Treacherous Numbers!?". First, summary: The Duel between Yuma and Tokunosuke continues. Yuma is shocked to see Hope on the opponent's field. The power of the Numbers monster causes Tokunosuke to become possessed by the Number 39. Astral becomes weak, as the spirit of the Number 39 has left his body. Yuma ends his turn, wondering exactly how he will save Astral. Tokunosuke begins his turn by attacking Full Elf with Aspiring Emperor Hope, leaving Yuma's Life at 1900. Tokunosuke plays a monster face-down and ends his turn. Yuma draws and summons Rai-Rider in ATK mode, then activates Gagaga Magician's effect, changing it's Level to 3 until the End Phase. He then overlays his monsters to Exceed Summon the Rank 3 No. 17 Revise Dragon! However, Tokunosuke activates another Continuous Trap, Reverse Mist, gaining control of Yuma's Special Summoned monster, his Revise Dragon! Tokunosuke gains control of the Number 17 spirit and becomes even more powerful, thanks to the Number marks on his hands. Astral screams in agony, as another Numbers is taken from his body, and he is encased in an energy cocoon. Meanwhile, Kotori and Tetsuo are trying to find info on Kotori's laptop computer. They discover that the images of Yuma misbehaving are fake and that Taichi is their best suspect. Back at the Duel, Yuma calls out to Astral, but he cannot respond. Tokunosuke tells him to hurry up, and Yuma asks him why he is doing this. Tokunosuke recalls when he was little, some kids wanted to Duel him, but wanted to play the "ante rule". When they beat Tokunosuke, they left with his best cards, leaving him all alone. He later overheard them talikng about what a loser he was, and they just wanted his cards. Afterwards, he learned that everything and everyone in the world has a hidden side. Meanwhile, Kotori and Tetsuo search the school grounds looking for Taichi. They find him building a huge set of dominos, only for them to be knocked down, by their arrival. They find out Taichi was hired by Tokunosuke to set up Yuma. Back at the Duel, Yuma considers releasing Baby Tragon, but Astral advises him to protect it. So, Yuma puts Baby Tragon into DEF mode, and plays one face-down card. Tokunosuke draws, and activates Revise Dragon's effect, detaching an Overlay Unit to gain 500 ATK. He then Flip Summons Urauutan, which places Baby Tragon into ATK mode. Revise Dragon goes to attack, but Yuma plays a Trap, Half Unbreak, which protects his monster and halves all Battle Damage. After Revise and Hope's attacks, Yuma's Life is at 300, but he still has Baby Tragon. Tokunosuke activates Book of Flip, placing Urauutan in face-down DEF mode. On Yuma's turn he summons the Level 1 Needle Swordsman in ATK mode. With a "Kattobingu da, ore!", he activates Baby Tragon's effect, allowing Needle Swordsman to attack directly (Tokunosuke LP: 2200). Wuth his monster's effect, all of Tokunosuke's Trap cards return to his hand, letting Yuma regain control of the Numbers. With their power back on his side, Astral emerges from the cocoon at full strength. Yuma attacks with his monsters and depletes Tokunosuke's LP to zero. Yuma then congratulates him on a good Duel and gives back the Exceed Monster he gave him. Tokunosuke tells him to keep it, and they become friends. Astral makes Observation No. 8 - "Yuma has a hidden motive, 'ura'...". SUMMARY IS OVER! REVIEW TIME: I thought the episode was pretty lackluster; the previous one was better. I liked how Astral needs Numbers to survive, that's a good plot point. Still hate Yuma, but love Astral. Click the title post link to watch this episode (albeit without subs).
