===History===
[[File:Kazuma other world.jpg|thumb|200px|[[Kazuma Tsukumo]] fell to Astral World.]]
When [[Kazuma Tsukumo]] fell from a cliff in a snowy mountain during one of his explorations with his [[Mira Tsukumo|wife]], he landed in Astral World, and obtained the [[Emperor's Key]]. It is unknown if that was just his spirit as his body was severely damaged when he woke up,<ref name="ep19">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|19|ref}}</ref> though Astral has stated that only those with "ranked-up souls" may enter Astral World, which may be obtained by an individual working towards their greatest dreams.<ref name="ep99">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|99|ref}}</ref>
Five years before the [[File:WDC]], Kazuma other world.jpg|thumb|200px|, [[Kazuma Tsukumo]] fell to Astral WorldDr.Faker]]When and [[Kazuma TsukumoVetrix|Byron Arclight]] fell from went on an exploration to find the door to parallel worlds. Dr. Faker betrayed his companions and used them as sacrifices to open the door. As a cliff in a snowy mountain during one result, the two of his explorations with his [[Mira Tsukumo|wife]], he landed them were sent to alternate dimensions: Kazuma ended up in the Astral World, and obtained the while Byron ended up in [[Emperor's KeyBarian World]]. It is unknown if that was just his spirit as his body was severely damaged when he woke up,<ref name="ep19ep55">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

ZEXAL|9944|ref}}</ref>
[[File:Astral World being attacked.png|thumb|left|Hart attacking Astral World.]]
Dr. Faker later made a pact with a [[Vector|being]] from the Barian World that if he destroys the Astral World, he would obtain the power to conquer the Earth.<ref name="ep60">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|60|ref}}</ref> Therefore, he used [[Hart Tenjo]]'s powers to transport large amounts of trash through a small hole in space into the Astral World, where they would detonate.<ref name="ep13">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|13|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep60"/> However, this is revealed to be fraudulent and Faker had really made the deal in order to cure Hart's illness and the destruction of the Astral World was the price the Barian demanded for his services.<ref name="ep70">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|70|ref}}</ref>
Following these attacks, Astral was sent to [[Yuma Tsukumo]]'s world with a certain mission. Astral conjectured this was Kazuma's plan to defeat Byron, now Vetrix, and Dr. Faker's machinations.<ref name="ep56">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|56|ref}}</ref> However, Vetrix speculated that Kazuma had sent Astral as his own instrument of revenge against Faker.<ref name="ep65">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|65|ref}}</ref> In truth, Astral was sent in order to retrieve the [[Numeron Code]], an all-power card that can shape reality before the [[Barian]]s are able to find it.<ref name="ep89">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|89|ref}}</ref>, with which he must use to annihilate the [[Barian World]].<ref name="ep106">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|106|ref}}</ref> and therefore allow the Astral World to "Rank-up" to a higher realm of existence.<ref name="ep118">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|118|ref}}</ref>

ZEXAL|4|ref}}</ref> Astral later recalls the Astral World under attack, being assaulted by numerous explosions as its unseen denizens scream.<ref name"ep12">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|12|ref}}</ref>
When [[Vetrix]] began the ritual to steal Hart's powers, the former was able to briefly see the Astral World while taking more power from the latter.<ref name="ep41">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|41|ref}}</ref> The [[Vetrix Family]] as a whole seems to be familiar with Astral World as well, as [[Trey]] recognized Astral as a being from that world when he briefly saw him.<ref name="ep44">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!
