[[File:StarMan win.png|thumb|left|Nistro won the semi-final match.]]
Nistro defeats Muscules by attacking directly with "[[Heroic Champion - Kusanagi (anime)|Heroic Champion - Kusanagi]]", winning the tournament. Later, he is seen backstage signing autographs for children, with [[Dextra]] supervising the session. A girl says that the next Duel is for the title of champion, while a boy encourages that Nistro can win. Nistro agrees. Yuma calls out to Nistro and asks for an autograph as well. Both Nistro and Dextra are happy to see Yuma and his friends. At the lounge, Yuma says that he did not expect Nistro to become a Pro-Duelist. Nistro says that he is the envoy of the stars, "Nistromo the Star Voyager" (in the dub, Nistro says that people love his new persona). He won many challenges and his next battle is for the title of Champion. Tori asks if Dextra is also a Pro-Duelist. Dextra replies no, because she is Nistro's manager. Nistro says that he tried to talk Dextra into debuting with him as a Tag Team, but she refused. Dextra is frustrated that Nistro brought this up. Tori and Rio imagine Dextra wearing Nistro's costume. A flustered Tori says that she understands why, while Rio adds that the outfit may be a little too tight (Tori's and Rio's fantasy of Dextra wearing Nistro's outfit is cut from the dub).[[File:Tori and Rio's Imagination.png|thumb|right|[[Tori Meadows|Tori]] and [[Rio Kastle|Rio]] imagining [[Dextra]]'s costume as a Pro Duelist for the [[Pro Duelist Spartancity Tournament|Spartancity Tournament]]. (This scene is cut from the dub)]]
Yuma asks about the "Star" motif. Nistro tells them that he wanted to show children a star of hope. He tells them that he and Dextra grew up in a horrible town full of trash. They tried their best to survive everyday. Despite their hardship, they found happiness in Dueling. A heated Duel that makes you really excited made Nistro and Dextra start looking toward a dream. Dextra continues that the dream became their star of hope. Nistro adds that no matter how dark the night sky may be, if at least one star is visible, then you can live and head toward it. He says that he wanted to show children that star of hope, which was why he came up with the title, "Nistromo the Star Voyager". Nistro realizes that he talked too much, embarrassed (Nistro's and Dextra do not tell the group about their childhood in the dub; Nistro instead says that by becoming Nistromo, he can be a hero that young people can look up to. He also says that this may seem corny to Yuma and the others). Yuma and [[Reginald Kastle|Shark]] agree with Nistro's goal. Kite steps forward and says that he understands Nistro's dream because Kite fought hard to save [[Hart Tenjo|Hart]]. Rio chimes in and sarcastically adds that Shark does not really care for her. After the conversation, Dextra asks why Yuma and his friends are in Spartan City. Yuma replies that they're searching for a ruin.
[[File:Nistro arrive at the lake.png|thumb|left|Nistro arrive at the lake.]]
That night, Alito arrives at the lake and muses that Yuma hasn't arrived yet. He holds up several cards in his hand and decides to proceed and mess up the ruins. Meanwhile, Nistro is unable to sleep. He recalls the words the children said to him earlier. He decides to go for a ride, hoping to ease his nerves. He thinks that he's unable to sleep because of all the pressure (in the dub, Nistro remarks that this is the first time that this has happened to him and that it's not a good sign). Nistro arrives at the ruins and remembers the legend's moral, "Those who obtain the soul of the gladiator are said to have unparalleled strength dwelling inside them" ("Whoever captures the spirit of the warrior will gain extraordinary power" in the dub). He thinks that he can't believe that he came to the ruins in the middle of the night still believing in the legend, especially when the ruins are at the bottom of the lake. Elsewhere, Alito snaps his fingers, causing the "[[Blast with Chain (anime)|Blast with Chain]]" cards in the slots he had put in earlier to glow and set off several explosions. This drains the lake. The ground beneath Nistro caves in and he falls. At the hotel, Astral feels a presence and wakes Yuma up. Both of them go to the balcony with Kite, Rio and Shark already there. Kite reports that the water in the lake ran dry. He passes his binoculars to Yuma to let him get a closer look. Yuma scans the area and finds a coliseum where the lake was. He asks if this is the place where the "Number" is; Kite replies that this is most likely the place. Shark says that the Barians must be there. Astral adds that if they were already there, the "Number" may be in danger of being taken. Rio places a hand on Shark's shoulder and says that she feels uneasy (in the dub, Rio senses a dark power down there). Dextra comes in to ask what happened. Meanwhile, in the hotel room, Tori is still sleeping, dreaming about Spartan City's pasta (Tori being asleep is cut from the dub).
[[File:Colloseum.png|thumb|right|The [[Number ruins|coliseum]].]]
Nistro recovers from the fall and looks at the coliseum in surprise and awe (in the dub, Nistro mutters that the fall must have rattled his brain). Meanwhile, Dextra drives Yuma and his friends (except for Tori) to the ruins. Yuma apologizes to Dextra for bothering her in the middle of the night. Dextra tells Yuma not to worry about it because they were in a hurry and wonders where Nistro went off to. On a hallway wall, the legend mentioned previously by Nistro and Dextra is rendered in murals.[[File:Legend.png|thumb|left|200px|The legend inscribed on a wall.]] Alito walks by them, as he feels a similar presence to what Vector had felt in Number 65's ruins. Alito arrives at the location of the "Mythyrian Number", with the card wedged between two of the fingers on a statue of a hand. He jumps up and yells if that really is the "Number" (in the dub, Alito yells that he will take the "Number" and use it against Yuma). Before he can grab it, a force field surrounds the statue, preventing him from getting to the card. A voice rings out, saying that those who lack a heated fighting spirit will not take its soul. The voice belongs to a [[Number 54's guardian|gladiator]] in a silver helmet, who asks if Alito loves fighting with all his heart. Alito affirms that he does and swears that he has the fighting power to defeat Yuma Tsukumo. The gladiator's eyes glow red and asks if Alito is the one. Alito's fist shatters the force field completely, allowing him to take the "Number". The statue explodes and Alito muses that the "Number" he just got is a powerful one. Then he realizes that using it could be a huge risk for the wielder.
Nistro calls out to Alito from behind, asking what he's doing there. Alito recognizes him as the Pro Duelist who won the tournament earlier. Yuma and his friends arrive, confused as to why Nistro is at the coliseum. Yuma sees Alito and he reveals himself to Yuma, while muttering his name in distaste. Yuma is happy to see Alito again and says that he was really worried. Alito replies that he was worried too as he did not want anyone else to beat Yuma but him (in the dub, Alito says that he recovered and that he can't wait to have another Duel with Yuma). The "Number" card glows with an orange aura. Alito wonders if the "Number" wants to fight, but the "Number" is too zealous for him. Nistro is confused and asks what is happening and if Yuma knew Alito (in the dub, Nistro tells Yuma that Alito was the one who set off the explosives at the lake). Alito decides to use Nistro as the wielder of the "Number". He throws the card to Nistro, who catches it. Nistro is surprised that Alito gave him a "Number". Alito holds up "[[Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force (later anime)|Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force]]" and brainwashes him into using the "Number" to defeat Yuma. Nistro is shocked by electricity, surprising everyone present.[[File:Nistro's Barian Emblem.png|thumb|Nistro under the influence of the [[Barian World]].]] A [[Barian Emblem]] appears on Nistro's forehead and Nistro, now under the Barians' control, says that he will do everything for the Barian World. Yuma demands why Alito brainwashed Nistro. Dextra asks what Yuma means, then turns to Alito, asking who exactly he is. Alito introduces himself as one of the [[Seven Barian Emperors]]. This leaves Dextra confused; she asks why a Barian would be on Earth because she thought that they were defeated after Yuma's Shark's and Kite's Duel against [[Dr. Faker]].

Alito says that this is enough chatting and throws off his cloak. All four players arm their [[D-Pad]]s; Yuma dons his [[Duel Gazer]], while Nistro's and Dextra's Duel Gazer tattoos appear and Alito's left eye turns red. Nistro starts the Duel by [[Normal Summon]]ing "[[Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier (anime)|Heroic Challenger - Ambush Soldier]]". Yuma mutters Nistro's name. He takes the next turn as he draws "[[Gagaga Magician (anime)|Gagaga Magician]]". He thinks about why Alito is acting this way. Astral tells Yuma to calm down and not to let anger mislead his judgment. Yuma says that he knows and calms down. He Normal Summons "Gagaga Magician". He then activates "[[Gagagamirror]]", which lets him treat it as a monster with the same Level as a "[[Gagaga]]" monster for an Xyz Summon. The mirror reflects "Magician" before turning to face Yuma's opponents. Yuma then [[Xyz Material|overlays]] his two [[Level]] 4 monsters to [[Xyz Summon]] "[[Number 39: Utopia (anime)|Number 39: Utopia]]". Alito calls Yuma's play hot-blooded (in the dub, Alito notes that Yuma must be worried because he Summoned his best card on his first turn). Yuma says that during the first turn, neither player can attack, so he [[Set]]s a card to end his turn (in the dub, Yuma says that Alito should be the one who's worried). Alito chuckles and says that the Duel will continue until a team is completely crushed (in the dub, Alito says that all this tough talk will not save Yuma for what is coming up ahead). He starts his turn and Sets a monster and a [[Spell Card|Spell]]/[[Trap Card]]. Dextra goes next and Sets a monster and two Spell/Trap Cards. From the sidelines, Rio observes that Alito's aura is different than before (Rio's observation is cut from the dub).[[File:Lion Heart is summoned.png|thumb|left|"[[Number 54: Lion Heart(anime)|Lion Heart]]" is Summoned.]] Nistro takes his turn and Summons "[[Heroic Challenger - Clasp Sword (anime)|Heroic Challenger - Clasp Sword]]". He activates the effect of "Ambush Soldier", [[Tribute|Tributing]] it to [[Special Summon]] two "[[Heroic Challenger]]" monsters from his [[hand]], with their Levels reduced to 1. He Summons "Heroic Challengers" "[[Heroic Challenger - Double Lance(anime)|Double Lance]]" and "[[Heroic Challenger - Night Watchman(anime)|Night Watchman]]". Nistro overlays his three Level 1 monsters to Xyz Summon "[[Number 54: Lion Heart (anime)|Number 54: Lion Heart]]". Yuma exclaims that this must be the "Number" from the ruins, while Dextra notes that it only has 100 [[ATK]]. Nistro explains that "Lion Heart" cannot be destroyed by battle while in [[Attack Position]]. He attacks "Utopia" with "Lion Heart". Dextra is surprised, exclaiming that Nistro will take 2400 damage from the attack. Nistro activates the effect of "Lion Heart" to make Yuma take the same amount of damage as Nistro. "Utopia" pulls its fist back in response to the effect, leaving Yuma and Astral in shock. Nistro declares, "[[Attack name|Pouncing Punch]]", as "Utopia" and "Lion Heart" punch each other on the face. An explosion knocks Yuma and Nistro back, reducing their [[Life Points]] to 1600. A concerned Dextra yells Nistro's and Yuma's names. Astral asks if Alito is aiming for a reckless simultaneous suicide strategy (in the dub, Astral asks if Alito wants Yuma and Nistro to exchange blows until one of them collapses).[[File:ZEXAL Episode 103.png|thumb|Alito laughs maliciously as Yuma is presented with the possibility of losing Nistro.]] Alito says that Astral is correct, but admits that he isn't involved in this - it's Nistro. Alito laughs maliciously and mockingly says that Nistro will be crushed bravely with Yuma (in the dub, Alito says that as a puppet, Nistro is useful, but completely disposable). Yuma gets up and asks what exactly happened to Alito. He yells that it's not like Alito to fight like this. The Barian Emperor replies that the hatred of losing to Yuma was what changed him (in the dub, he yells that he will do anything to defeat Yuma). Alito laughs maliciously as Yuma is presented with the possibility of losing Nistro.
