"'''Rank-Up-Magic'''" ({{Ruby|ＲＵＭ|ランクアップマジック}} ''Rankuappu Majikku'') is an [[archetype]] of [[Spell Card]]s introduced in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'' anime. Their [[card effect|effects]] allow one to [[Rank-Up]] an [[Xyz Monster]]. An Xyz Monster with a [[Rank]] higher than the [[target]] is [[Special Summon]]ed from the [[Extra Deck]], and the targeted Xyz Monster and its [[Xyz Material]]s become Xyz Materials on the newly Summoned [[Monster Card|monster]]. This process is called "[[Xyz Evolution#Chaos Xyz Evolution|Chaos Xyz Evolution]]" (when performed with Rank-Up-Magic cards associated with the power of Chaos) or "[[Xyz Evolution#Rank-Up Xyz Evolution|Rank-Up Xyz Evolution]]" (when performed with other methods).
In the Japanese version of the anime, whenever a Duelist declares the activation of a "Rank-Up-Magic" card, they do not say the phrase "I activate the Spell Card..." However, if the card is not a Normal Spell Card, they declare the card's property. == Story =====ZEXAL===
The Rank-Up-Magic cards were first introduced in the anime by [[Girag]], who used "[[Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force (anime)|Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force]]" to brainwash residents of [[Heartland]] in order to take the "[[Numbers]]" from [[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]], [[Astral]] and [[Reginald Kastle|Shark]]. Each time it would be used to Rank-Up Xyz Monsters into "[[CXyz]]" monsters in order to overpower the "Numbers". [[Mizar]] used it next when he himself ranked up his "[[Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon (anime)|Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon]]" in order to form its Chaos form. This monster wasn't fully revealed as the [[Sphere Field]] collapsed from its power. [[Alito]] and Girag both ranked up their respective "[[Number 10X]]" monsters. Both of them were defeated by Yuma and Astral (Girag was also defeated by [[Vector]] posing as Ray). In the same Duel where Girag was defeated, Yuma gained his own Rank-Up-Magic card in the form of "[[Rank-Up-Magic Limited Barian's Force (anime)|Limited Barian's Force]]" during his Duel with Girag from "Ray" but was later transformed into "[[Rank-Up-Magic Numeron Force (anime)|Numeron Force]]" by [[ZEXAL II]]. Vector also demonstrated his mastery of Rank-Up-Magic cards when he used "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force" on his "Number 10X" monster, and also to brainwash [[Brook Walker]].
In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL (manga)|''ZEXAL'' manga]], [[Yuma Tsukumo (manga)|Yuma]] obtained "[[Rank-Up-Magic Shining Force]]" during his second Duel against [[Kaito Tenjo (manga)|Kaito]].

ARC-V|ARC-V]]'' anime, five Duelists possess the following amount of "Rank-Up-Magic" cards.:*[[Shay Obsidian]]: - 10 ("[[Rank-Up-Magic Raptor's Force (anime)|Raptor's Force]]", "[[Rank-Up-Magic Revolution Force (anime)|Revolution Force]]", "[[Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force (anime)|Raid Force]]", "[[Rank-Up-Magic Doom Double Force (anime)|Doom Double Force]]", "[[Rank-Up-Magic Soul Shave Force (anime)|Soul Shave Force]]", "[[Rank-Up-Magic Skip Force (anime)|Skip Force]]", "[[Rank-Up-Magic Escape Force|Escape Force]]", "[[Rank-Up-Magic Devotion Force|Devotion Force]]", "[[Rank-Up-Magic Limitover Force|Limitover Force]]", and & "[[Rank-Up-Magic Battle Up Force|Battle Up Force]]")*[[Yuya Sakaki]]/[[Yuto]]: - 2 ("[[The Phantom Knights' Rank-Up-Magic Launch (anime)|The Phantom Knights' Launch]]" and & "[[Rank-Up-Magic Burial of The Phantom Knights|The Phantom Knights' Burial]]")*[[Kite Tenjo (ARC-V)|Kite Tenjo]]: - 4 ("[[Rank-Up-Magic Cipher Ascension (anime)|Cipher Ascension]]", "[[Rank-Up-Magic Cipher Pursuit|Cipher Pursuit]]", "[[Rank-Up-Magic Cipher Shock|Cipher Shock]]", and & "Limitover Force")*[[Dennis McField]]: - 1 ("[[Rank-Up-Magic Magical Force|Magical Force]]")
"Rank-Up-Magic" cards are implied to not exist in the [[Standard Dimension]], as [[Dipper O'rion]] has stated that [[LID]] doesn't instruct people in their use.
