ZEXAL Ep. 9 - The Surprise of the Cat Deck

Hey, YuJaYu here! Here is the summary for Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL Episode 9 - "The Surprise of the Cat Deck"! Here we go: The episode opens with a mysterious girl, dressed like a cat, creeping into Yuma's house, while Astral observes. Yuma is asleep, and he mentions Kotori, which causes the mystery girl to be upset. The next day at school, Tetsuo and Kotori are pondering Yuma's recent wins against tough opponents, and Kotori suggests it must be the "dueling spirit". At that moment, Yuma comes in wearing a very weird outfit, to which Kotori strongly protests. It seems that all week, Yuma has been coming to school wearing wacky outfits, such as a giant bee costume. There has also been weird events occuring involving Yuma, such as scoring 100% on a test, and finally jumping the stack of boxes at recess due to wires suspending him. Astral appears and informs Yuma that someone has been spying on him, and that someone was in Yuma's room rearranging his clothing. Of course Yuma gets mad at Astral for not telling him sooner, but Astral says it's not unnatural for someone else to enter Yuma's room. Yuma declares that he will find the culprit, and Kotori says that his fashion sense doesn't even compare to her own. Yuma challenges her to pick his clothes that Sunday, and they agree to meet at the shopping mall to pick the clothes, meanwhile a mysterious gray-haired girl observes their deal. Later, a bunch of cats gather at the feet of the gray-haired girl, and she gives them their orders: to eat Kotori! The next day, Kotori runs to meet Yuma at the mall, but is ambushed by an army of cats. Then, more cats show up at Yuma's feet with a letter. Astral is frightened by them, and Yuma tells him they're just cats. Yuma reads the letter, which says, "I have Kotori Mizuki, and if you want to rescue her, follow the cats". The cats take off, with Yuma in hot pursuit. They arrive at a creepy castle, where Yuma finds not Kotori, but the gray-haired girl: Cathy! Astral recognizes her as the girl who was following Yuma, and Yuma demands Kotori back. Cathy will return her; but only if he beats her in a Duel! Yuma thinks that she is possessed by Numbers, and Astral says they must win at all costs, then. Duel Disk, set! D-Gazer, set! The Duel begins! Cathy activates Inviting the Cat, adding a Stray Cat to her hand, then activates Cat Rally. She summons Stray Cat in ATK mode, which activates Cat Rally's effect, placing another Stray Cat on the field in ATK mode. She plays a face-down card and ends her turn. Yuma draws and summons Achacha Archer, dealing 500 points of damage with it's effect (Cathy LP: 3500). He tries to attack, but the effects of Cathy's monsters prevent attacking them while they are both in ATK mode. In response, Yuma activates Flip Flop, which switches one of the Stray Cats into DEF mode. That enables Achacha Archer to attack, destroying the Stray Cat (Cathy LP: 2400). Cathy gets mad that Yuma wants to save Kotori during their Duel, much to Yuma's surprise. She activates the Quickplay Spell card, Monstrous Cat Transformation, special summoning Monster Cat, which destroys all of Yuma's monsters and deals 800 points of damage (Yuma LP: 3200). Yuma sets a face-down card and ends his turn. Cathy draws and activates Monster Cat's effect, adding a Stray Cat to her hand, which she then summons. She then overlays her monsters to construct the Overlay network! Exceed Summon: Twin-Tail Cat Lady! Yuma and Astral are shocked that it is not a Numbers, and Cathy detaches an overlay unit, raising her monster's ATK by 800, putting it at 1800 ATK. She then activates Field Spell Cat World, doubling her monster's ATK to 2800. She attacks Yuma directly, leaving him with a small 400 LP. Yuma activates Trap card Fairy Gong, summoning a Fairy monster from his deck, Fairy Joe. Yuma praises her dueling, but Cathy says this is not her personality; it is just in her duels. She tells him about the love she has for a certain person, but is too shy to tell that person. Yuma tells her to go for it, with "Kattobingu", and Cathy attempts to tell him how she feels, but Yuma begins his turn before she can say it. Yuma discards Growing Pinecone to special summon Fallen Cone. Then Growing Pinecone's effect activates, reviving from the Graveyard. He then overlays his three monsters, to Exceed Summon: Baby Tragon! He then summons Gagaga Magician, and uses it's effect to change to Level 1. Using Baby Tragon's effect, Gagaga Magician can attack directly (Cathy LP: 900). Then with a "Kattobingu da, ore!" and a Quickplay Spell card, Baby Tragon defeats Twin-Tail Cat Lady and wins the duel. Afterwards, Yuma finds Kotori in the park, surrounded by cats. The next day at school, Yuma, Kotori and Tetsuo meet Cathy, who leaves with a brief "Good morning". Yuma tells them that Cathy is one strong duelist, and Kotori wonders how he knows that, so she leaves. Astral makes Observation No. 11: "Yuma still doesn't understand women's feelings."

ZEXAL Ep. 8 - Star Robin is Forever

Hey, YuJaYu here! This is the review and summary for Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL Episode 8 - "Star Robin is Forever". First, summary: The episode begins with Robin ending his turn. Yuma looks at the Numbers monster, Galaxy Queen, and sees how the evil inside it has changed the once-timid Fuya into the character he portrays, ESPer Robin. With his D-Gazer's online network, Yuma calls Kotori and tells her to bring Fuya's mother to the site of the Duel. Yuma proclares that he will save Fuya, with a "Kattobingu daze, ore!". Astral informs Yuma that ESPer Star Robin will deal piercing damage unless they can call out Aspiring Emperor Hope. To summon him, Yuma has to draw a Level 4 monster... and he does! He summons Gagaga Magician and Special Summons the Shadow Lizard with it's own effect. He then overlays his two monsters to construct the Overlay Network! Exceed Summon: No. 39 Aspiring Emperor Hope! Then, for some reason, Yuma and Astral begin an argument about Dueling for someone else's sake. Finally, Yuma attacks Robin's Puman with Hope, but Robin activates Wings of Unity, which negates Yuma's attack, and Special Summons Phoenix Beast Galeruda. Galeruda's effect activates, letting Robin draw one card, and Yuma ends his turn with a face-down card. Robin draws, and with his monsters effects, summons forth Ironhammer, which has a DEF of 3500, to Yuma's dismay. Just then, Kotori shows up with Tetsuo and Fuya's mother. Fuya's mother tries to talk to him, but he brushes her off. The Duel continues. Robin detaches an overlay unit from Galaxy Queen, giving all his monsters piercing ability. He attacks with Galeruda, whose effect gives it 300 more ATK, but Yuma activates Hope's effect, detaching an overlay unit to negate the attack. Robin attacks with Star Robin, but Yuma activates Hope's effect again. Robin activates Ironhammer's effect, letting Puman attack Yuma directly (Yuma LP: 800). Yuma activates the Trap card, Regretful Complaint, taking control of Ironhammer until Robin's next turn. Robin places a face-down card. With the damage Yuma has taken, Astral starts fading away. Yuma draws and activates Attack Regulation, preventing Robin's attacks while he controls 3 or more monsters. He sets two cards face-down and ends his turn, and then Ironhammer returns to Robin's field. Fuya's mother pleads with Robin, but he tells her to shut up and that he is no longer her pawn. Robin activates Jet Iron Change, releasing all of his non-Exceed monsters to Special Summon D.D. Jet Iron! It's effect gives it 8000 ATK, which Yuma responds to with the Trap Burning Fighting Spirit, doubling Hope's ATK. Robin attacks Yuma's monster, but Yuma activates Secret Cyclone, destroying Cursed Seal of Dead Max. He then activates Murder Method - Vector Change, switching D.D. Jet Iron to DEF mode and Galaxy Queen to ATK mode. Robin places one face-down card, and it's now Yuma's turn. Yuma and Astral debate whether the attack will go through, and they finally decide that they must, if they want to free Fuya. With a "Kattobingu da, ore!", Yuma attacks Galaxy Queen with Hope, "Hope Sword Slash!", but Robin has one last Trap: Star Robin is Forever!, reviving ESPer Star Robin with zero ATK, but it is still obliterated and so is Robin's Life. Astral absorbs the Number 83 from Robin's (now Fuya's) body. Fuya reunites with his mother, and later, Yuma, Kotori and Tetsuo are walking on a bridge talking about the day's events. When Yuma and Kotori get into an argument, Shark rides by on a motorcycle and observes them. Later, Yuma and Astral watch the conclusion of the ESPer Robin show, and Astral makes Observation No. 10 - "The parent-child relationship is something I understand". Astral remembers something: when he was born, he was sent to Earth to protect it. Summary is over, I won't bother with a review right now. To watch the episode subbed, click the title post link.

ZEXAL Ep. 7 - Calling on ESPer Robin!

Hey YuJaYu here! This is the review and summary for Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL Episode 7 - "Calling on ESPer Robin, the Feast of Justice!". First, summary: The episode begins late at night, with Astral watching a TV show featuring a young hero named ESPer Robin, who faces-off against the evil Galaxy Queen. While Astral is interested, Yuma wakes up and turns off the TV. Astral wakes Yuma up and asks him about the Robin boy, to which Yuma replies "It's just TV". The next day at school, Yuma is excited until Astral asks him to go home and watch the TV show, wondering if ESPer Robin is like himself. Then, Kotori shows up and tells Yuma that Robin will be coming to their area, and Astral's curiosity is aroused. Kotori drags Yuma to go see Robin shoot some scenes for his show. While at the shoot, Tokunosuke shows up and advises them to not act nervous, and instead to just walk in freely! However, Tokunosuke gets caught at the gate, while Yuma, Kotori, Tetsuo and Astral make their way inside. Once in, they find Robin rehearsing a scene, referring to "Dead Max". Astral presumes this is one of his enemies as well, and thinks a costume is a monster going to attack Yuma. Suddenly, the costume (attached to a wire) is lifted into the air with Yuma on it, while Astral observes. During, Yuma's Deck falls out of it's case, and Robin sees it. When the guard comes to escort them out, Robin grabs Yuma and, with the help of a grapple rope, swings to his dressing room. There, Robin gives Yuma the Deck he discovered. Yuma is extremely grateful, and Astral is annoyed with Yuma losing "his Duelist soul". In return, Robin asks only for a Duel, to which Yuma gladly accepts. Just then, a small spider appears in front of Robin, and surprisingly, he runs and hides in a corner, whimpering. When Yuma blows the spider out of the room, Robin gets up, revealing his true self to Yuma, a humble young man who was made to be a superstar, but he didn't really want it. He tells Yuma his name , Fuya Okudaira, and asks to be friends, to which Yuma happily says "Of course!", and wants a Duel to their friendship. Then, Fuya's mother comes in and tells him not to be with normal people such as Yuma. Astral recognizes her as the "Galaxy Queen" from the TV show. She tells Fuya it is pointless to pursue a normal life, and that he should dedicate himself to portraying "Robin". She then pushes Yuma out, while threatening to sue if he tells anyone about Fuya. While Fuya protests, Yuma says they will have their Duel one day, for sure. Yuma ponders the dissapointments of being a star, and Astral wants to know why Robin is also named Fuya. Yuma tells him that Fuya is the real person, and Robin is the character he pretends to be. Later, Fuya finds a card flowing with darkness, a Numbers, that posesses him with the Number 83. A man walks on the street and throws his empty soda can on the ground; ESPer Robin shows up and whips the man with his "Justice Whip". Later, ESPer Robin saves a cat from being run over by a car, and attacks the driver with his "Justice Whip". All over the city, the screams of the residents can be heard as ESPer Robin tortures them all. The next day at school, Yuma and Kotori hear about this on the local news. They then go to investigate to clear Fuya's name, and hear another scream. They find a man tied up and Robin fleeing the scene, to which Yuma gives chase. But Yuma is too slow to catch him, and he gets away. Later, Yuma realizes that it was Fuya himself as "Robin", but wonders why he would do such a thing. Astral tells him to discover the truth himself by keeping his promise of dueling Fuya. Yuma shows up at Fuya's place and challenges him to their promised Duel. Fuya responds by changing into the "real" Different Dimension ESPer Robin! He laughs and says it is time for the "Grand Banquet of Justice", and accuses Yuma of working for the "Dead Max", to which Yuma responds with "Let's Duel!". With a "Kattobingu da, ore!", Yuma and Robin set their Duel Disks and D-Gazers. Robin goes first and summons Bestial Warrior Puman in ATK mode, and plays a face-down card. Yuma's turn: Gogogo Golem in ATK mode, and attacks Robin's Puman, but Robin activates the Trap card Trion Barrier, placing Gogogo Golem in DEF mode, and Special Summons 3 Tri-Star Trions from Robin's hand. Yuma plays a face-down card and ends his turn. On Robin's turn, he releases two of his Trions and Advance Summons ESPer Star Robin in ATK mode, then the Trions activate, reviving from the Graveyard. He then activates Space Ration, drawing two cards, then he overlays the three Trions. Exceed Summon: Number 83. Galaxy Queen!!! He then equips the Numbers with Cursed Seal of Dead Max, preventing it from being destroyed in battle. Robin activates Galaxy Queen's effect, detaching an overlay unit to cause piercing damage to Yuma's monsters this turn. With this, Puman attacks the DEF position Gogogo Golem, but it's effect cancels it's own destruction (Yuma LP: 3900). ESPer Star Robin attacks, destroying Yuma's monster and dealing 1500 points of damage (Yuma LP: 2400). Robin plays a face-down card, and declares that Yuma's "Kattobingu" is nothing compared to his "Banquet of Justice". Yuma says that he will prevail, and that he will rise to the challenge! Summary over. I won't waste your time with a review now, so that's all. To watch the episode subbed, click the post title link. Next episode: "Star Robin is Forever". YuJaYu out!!! Or, "Kattobingu da, ore!"

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). Next episode: "Calling On ESPer Robin, the Feast of Justice!" YuJaYu out!!! Or, "Kattobingu da, ore!"

ZEXAL Ep. 5 - The Other Side of the Duel!

Hey, YuJaYu here with the review/summary for Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL Episode 5 - "The Other Side of the Duel!" First up, summary: The episode opens with a boy at a local dessert store, which is having a 50% off sale. The boy warns the crowd gathered that the desserts have a hidden side and that they should be careful. The shopowner gets mad and the boy challenges him to a Duel to prove that his desserts are truthful. Most of the Duel is not shown, but the ending is: The boy activates Uratra C, Special Summoning Grenosaurus from the opponent's Extra Deck, attacking with it and beating the shopowner. The boy believes that everything has a hidden side; and he has a hidden power, the ability to flip things upside down and reverse objects. He sets his sights on Yuma Tsukumo, who is racing to get the item his sister requested. Astral notices the boy, and the boy notes of Yuma's fame for being a bad Duelist. The boy thinks Yuma must have great cards, and makes a plan to make Yuma use a certain card... At school, Yuma is telling Tetsuo and Kotori about Astral and how bossy he is. The boy (named Tokunosuke) approaches Yuma and introduces himself, to which Astral recognizes him from before. Tokunosuke attempts to give Yuma his Exceed monster "Baby Tragon", but Kotori takes him away before he can accept it. Tetsuo and Kotori warn Yuma about Tokunosuke's hidden tactics, meanwhile Tokunosuke says he will definitely give Yuma the card. During class, Astral (inside Yuma's pendant) explores the Astral World. Later, Tokunosuke tries to give Yuma the card, but Yuma's friends are there to foil him each time. He then convinces Yuma's classmate Taichi to participate in his plan for an Exceed monster. When Yuma gets home, Akari chews him out for Dueling again. Yuma gets a fan letter from a girl and runs upstairs to open it. Astral makes Observation No. 8: "Yuma is forbidden from Dueling". Yuma unwittingly opens the letter, receiving the Baby Tragon card. The next day at school, Yuma is accused by his friends of causing trouble around the school, even though Yuma never did any of this. Later, Yuma feels alienated, so Tokunosuke takes advantage of their "friendship", challenging him to a Duel. But Tokunosuke's real plan is to take Yuma's Exceed monsters, Hope and Revise Dragon. With a "Kattobingu da, ore!!!" the Duel begins! Tokunosuke goes first, placing a monster in face-down DEF mode. On Yuma's turn, he summons Gagaga Magician, and attacks and destroys Tokunosuke's face-down monster. It is Harisenbone, whose effect deals 400 points of damage to Yuma. Yuma ends his turn, and Tokunosuke begins his, by placing another face-down DEF monster. He then places two face-down cards and ends his turn. Yuma's turn! He summons Full Elf in ATK mode. He attacks with his monster (even though Astral says not to) and the face-down monster is revealed: the flip-effect monster Chew-Bone, which calls three Chew-Bone Jrs. to Yuma's field. Gagaga Magician attacks directly, dealing 1500 damage (Tokunosuke LP: 2500). Yuma then overlays the three Chew-Bone Jrs. to Exceed Summon Baby Tragon! However, this was Tokunosuke's plan, and so he activates his trap, Uratra C, to Special Summon a monster from Yuma's Extra Deck: Aspiring Emperor Hope! Tokunosuke reveals that he's the one who sent the fan letter and he was the one who framed Yuma. He also put a note on Yuma's back that states: "Whoever loses will ante up their best card". Yuma realizes that Tokunosuke was just pretending to be his friend and that he lied about believing in Yuma. Tokunosuke calls forth Yuma's Aspiring Emperor Hope, and Yuma and Astral are shocked. Review Time: The episode was okay. I didn't really like Tokunosuke, but I liked the Duel so far. Just wish it wasn't another two-parter. To watch the episode subbed, click the title post link; you can watch it there. Next episode: "The Treacherous Numbers!?" YuJaYu out!!! Or, "Kattobingu da, ore!!!"

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!!!"
