"The Emissary from the Moon!!" is the nineteenth chapter of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL manga.

This chapter was first printed in the 8/2012 issue of V Jump, released on June 21, 2012.

Summary

The hooded person who followed Shark reveals herself as Luna, and says that Shark can call her an emissary from the moon. Shark replies that she looks like something straight out of a fairy-tale, not that he hates them. Luna says that she doesn't have any rancor against him, but she must face him. They then begin a Duel.

The Duels ends quickly, with Shark defeating Luna in an OTK. After he wins, Shark asks Luna if she is alright; she is impressed that Shark could Summon 3 Xyz Monsters at once during the Duel, and says that she wasn't wrong. Luna explains that Dr. Faker plans to use the hidden power of the "Numbers" to destroy the Astral World, yet it is connected to this world. Luna also reveals she is a Numbers Hunter whose goal is to eliminate the "Numbers", and says that Shark must stop him, and for that he needs the power to do so - a "Number". Shark declines, saying that he was already once possessed by a "Number", and that he cannot do so. However, Luna replies that he knows how terrifying a "Number" can be, and that this is just why it would be okay. She further explains that "Numbers" are mirrors that reflect the hearts of the people, and at that time, his heart was full of darkness, but Yuma and Astral freed him from that darkness. She then gives Shark a mysterious card, and says that he is the only one who can stop Faker's ambitions.

Later, Yuma and the members of the Numbers Club gather in Cathy's house. The Numbers Club's headquarters is established there as an apology from Cathy for the trouble she caused. Tetsuo and Takashi are amazed at her big and beautiful house, while Koron-chan seems a little discontented with the idea, but soon accepts it. Cathy leads the gang to a big room, where they see researchers and big computers. Cathy explains that the room would be the headquarters, and there, they can look up mysterious phenomenons happening throughout the world, and therefore, locate the "Numbers".
