{{episode summary|Due to [[Trey]]'s power, [[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]] forgets all about "Kattobing" and ends up forced into a corner. However [[Kazuma]], helps Yuma continue the fierce Duel against Trey by using the power of the "[[Numbers]]" and [[Emperor's Key]] to break Trey's spell. Lastly [[Astral|Astral]]'s]] last hope helps Yuma make a comeback by using "[[Number 39: Utopia(anime)|Utopia]]".}}

Trey says that this is Yuma's final Duel and proceeds with his turn. He Summons "[[Chronomaly Mud Golem (anime)|Chronomaly Mud Golem]]". He then attacks "[[Gogogo Golem (anime)|Gogogo Golem]]" with it, though it cannot be [[Destroyed by battle]] while in [[Defense Position]]. Yuma takes damage due to the [[Piercingpiercing]] [[Battle battle damage]] effect of "Mud Golem". Trey then activates "[[Heart of Stone]]" allowing "Mud Golem" to attack again. This time, "Gogogo Golem" is destroyed and Yuma's [[Life Points]] drop to 1300. Yuma's friends are shocked that he is losing. Trey then attacks Yuma directly with "[[Number 33: Chronomaly Machu Mech (anime)|Number 33: Chronomaly Machu Mech]]" saying that Yuma has lost the Duel.

[[File:Gagaga Guardna shields Yuma.png|thumb|left|"[[Gagaga Gardna (anime)|Gagaga Gardna]]" shields Yuma from the attack of "Number 33".]]Astral decides to help Yuma by using the last of his strength to remind Yuma about his kattobingu spirit. Yuma remembers some of his Duels and wonders if he truly so skilled. Yuma then sees "[[Gagaga Gardna (anime)|Gagaga Gardna]]" glowing and Summons it by its own effect, as a direct attack was declared. This surprises everyone, including Trey. "Gagaga Gardna" is destroyed and Yuma's Life Points drop to 400. Trey wonders how Yuma remembered the effect of "Gardna's" effect in his fear and realizes that Astral must have helped Yuma. He decides to torture Astral. Flip points out that Astral cannot take that much power. Yuma then sits up as the pillar Astral chained to crumbles.

Inside the Key, [[Kazuma Tsukumo|Yuma's father]] mutters that Yuma is in trouble and adds that someone must be up to no good. He used the power of twelve "[[Number]]s" to attempt to remove the influence Trey has over Yuma. He then tells Yuma to remember his kattobingu spirit as a beam shoots from the Key, breaking the barrier and striking Trey's [[Crestcrest]], removing the influence he has over Yuma. The figure tells Yuma to remember what he learned from him. Memories of Yuma attacking with "[[Number C39: Utopia Ray (anime)|Number C39: Utopia Ray]]" during his Duel with [[Fortuno]], attacking with "[[Number 39: Utopia(anime)|Number 39: Utopia Ray]]" during his Duel with [[Nelson Andrews|Nelson]], and his first victory, attacking with "Utopia" in a Duel against [[Reginald Kastle|Shark]] fill his mind. At first Yuma is unbelieving, but after seeing more, he wonders if they are real. Tori throws the Emperor's Key to Yuma. When Yuma catches the Key, it shines. Then, he hears his father telling him to remember what he passed on to him. Yuma now remembers his kattobingu spirit.

Yuma drops to his knees, crying over Astral's death. Trey yells at Yuma that he must do this for [[Vetrix Family|his family]]. Trey activates "[[Chronomaly City Babylon (anime)|Chronomaly City Babylon]]", [[Banish]]ing "[[Chronomaly Aztec Mask Golem (anime)|Chronomaly Aztec Mask Golem]]" from his Graveyard to Summon "[[Chronomaly Cabrera Trebuchet(anime)|Chronomaly Cabrera CatapultTrebuchet]]" in Defense Position. He then ends his turn. He adds that Yuma has only 400 Life Points left while he has "Cabrera CatapultTrebuchet" and "Machu Mech". Trey says that Yuma will lose the Duel in his next turn because Astral isn't with him anymore, but Yuma says he will win and draws. Yuma remembers Astral saying that he will leave one day but leave traces of his legacy. Yuma says that Astral still exists in his memories. He remembers Astral giving him advice about Dueling. Yuma says that he will lose if "Cabrera CatapultTrebuchet" and "Machu Mech" attack. He then decides to either destroy "Cabrera CatapultTrebuchet" or "Machu Mech". He then sees his [[Extra Deck]] shining. Yuma remembers that Astral left it for him. He then remembers Astral telling him that everything is up to him and reminding him about his kattobingu spirit.

Yuma activates "[[Gagagarevenge(anime)|Gagagarevange]]" and Special Summons "[[Gagaga Magician (anime)|Gagaga Magician]]" from the Graveyard. He then Summons "[[Flelf (anime)|Flelf]]" and activates its effect. He sends "[[Overlay Eater]]" to his Graveyard to increase the Level of "Flelf's" Level to four4. He Overlays [[Xyz Material|overlays]] "Gagaga Magician" and "Flelf" to [[Xyz Summon]] "Number 39: Utopia". Yuma says that Astral left him "Utopia" to give him hope. Trey points out that Yuma has only 400 Life Points left, but Yuma says that he would still fight if he had only 1 Life Point left. Yuma activates the second effect of "Gagagarevenge" which increases the ATK of "Utopia's" ATK by 300 because "Gagaga Magician" was used as an Xyz Material. Yuma tells "Utopia" to attack "Machu Mech", destroying it.

[[File:Number6ChronomalyAtlandis-JP-Anime-ZX-NC.jpg|thumb|left|"[[Number 6: Chronomaly Atlandis (anime)|Number 6: Chronomaly Atlandis]]" is Summoned.]]Trey wonders how Yuma can still Duel well without Astral. Yuma responds that Astral will always be with him and adds that Trey cannot change that. Trey's Crest glows as he begins his turn. He Tributes "Cabrera CatapultTrebuchet" to Summon "[[Chronomaly Sol Monolith (anime)|Chronomaly Sol Monolith]]". Trey then changes the Level of "Mud Golem" to 6 by the effect of "Sol Monolith". He then Overlays overlays "Mud Golem" and "Sol Monolith" to Xyz Summon "[[Number 6: Chronomaly Atlandis (anime)|Number 6: Chronomaly Atlandis]]". Trey then equips a "Number" from his Graveyard by the effect of "Atlandis". He equips "Machu Mech", increasing the ATK of "Atlandis" to 5000. Bronk and Caswell are surprised by the high of ATK of Trey's monster. Trey attacks "Utopia" with "Atlandis", but Yuma detaches an Overlay Unit from "Utopia" to negate the attack. Trey then activates another effect of "Atlandis", detaching an Overlay Unit to halve Yuma's Life Points, reducing them to 200. Trey says that Yuma won't survive without Astral. He adds that it is over.
