"A Duel in Ruins: Part I", known as "Restart the Airship! Aim for the Legendary Numbers!!" in the Japanese version, is the ninety-ninth episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime. It first aired in Japan on April 14, 2013 and will air in the United States on March 1, 2014.
Vector revives Don Thousand and under his orders, he along with Dumon and Mizar go on to collect the 7 Mythyrian Number cards. On the other hand, Yuma and Astral are aware of the existence of one of those Numbers within a temple. However, upon finding such a card, they are challenged by Mach.
Summary
In the Barian World, Vector is bitter over his second defeat at the hands of Yuma Tsukumo and Astral. He walks towards the Great Barian Sea and angrily curses Yuma and Astral for injuring him so badly. He steps into the Sea and his ankles start to burn. Ignoring the pain, Vector travels through the Sea to the center of Barian World. He thinks to himself that he can't let Yuma and Astral get off like that. Vector suddenly stops at the middle of the Sea and hears a scream. He dives underwater and thinks to himself that if the legend is true, he can find a way to defeat Yuma and Astral. As Vector swims further down, he notices a a strange symbol up ahead. He exclaims that this must be the place where Don Thousand was sealed. Vector raises his arm, with his palm glowing with pink energy. He places it over the emblem on his chest and swears that he will offer his life to Thousand for his power. He holds up a blank card as the symbol explodes, releasing a pillar of fire over the Sea. Dumon and Mizar appear in their usual meeting spot. Mizar asks what's going on.
Meanwhile, in Heartland Academy, Yuma gets ready for his 20-stack challenge. Just before he can make a start, a surging feeling goes through him, causing him to trip into the boxes and be buried in them. Tori asks if he's alright, then calls him an idiot. Yuma wonders what that feeling was. While Rio is in class, her eyes suddenly glow green and she feels the same surging feeling that Yuma had earlier. She wonders what's going on as well.
Don Thousand informs Vector that he must collect the seven "Mythyrian Number" cards in order to revive him. He then enters Vector's body. At the same time, Astral remembers an unclear memory of him facing off against Don Thousand.
After that, Vector appears before Dumon and Mizar, who blame him for their plan's failure at Sargasso. Vector replies that they hadn't done anything and that they were worse off without his plan. He informs them of his new plan to collect the seven Mythyrian Numbers having known their locations from Mr. Heartland, who Vector revived from the depths of Sea of Ill Intent, where Don Thousand was also sealed.
A map of where the Numbers' locations is shown and Vector mentions Nash and Marin, Barian Emperors who had vanished in the past and might be on Earth. Dumon, after hearing this, leaves through a portal, determined to collect the "Numbers" and secretly wanting to look for Nash. After Mizar leaves as well, Vector sees Girag and Alito, who have still not recovered from their Duels against Yuma. Using some of Don Thousand's power, he accelerates their healing processes. Realizing that Gilag and Alito still need more time to heal, Vector leaves for Earth.
Back on Earth, Astral calls Yuma and the others into the Different Dimension Airship and he shows them a map of the locations of the seven Mythyrian Numbers and a message left by Yuma's father, Kazuma. After seeing the message, Yuma and Astral along with Shark, Rio, and Tori decide to locate the Numbers and prevent the Barian from taking them first.
As Dumon travels through dimensions, he muses that the events that occurred previously would not have happened if Nash not disappeared. Yuma's group travels through a dimension where Astral answers Yuma's question about the Astral World where they use what's called "Ranking-Up a soul", in other words, a place where 'morphing' with anyone can exist. While the group chats about it, Dumon, who was traveling through the exact same dimension, collides with the "Airship" and ends up transported into a forest.
Dumon, in his human form, gets injured, causing his Baria Lapis to malfunction, preventing him from using his Barian powers. Suddenly, a bear attacks and Yuma comes to his rescue. As Yuma saves Dumon, who currently appears to be a human boy, Shark appears, asking Yuma who the boy is. Yuma says that he's just an injured boy, but Shark and Astral both tell him to be careful, as he might be a Barian. Dumon claims that his name is Nash and that he is just a traveler, but Shark expresses his doubt. Once again, Shark tries to convince Yuma not to trust him, but his words are cut short by a scream from Tori, heard some distance away.
The group, following the sound, arrives at a
temple-like building and deduces that a "Mythyrian Number" might be inside. Another scream from Tori is heard and they rush into the temple. The group goes in to find Tori and Rio, surrounded by snakes. Yuma and Shark come to their aid. As the group further travels into the temple, they meet an apparent dead-end. Suddenly a wall comes down. Dumon narrowly saves Shark from it's descent, knocking them to the other side of the wall in the process, separated from the others.
Minutes later, two walls slide open and the rest of the group go into passage. Yuma tells Tori and Rio about the boy calling himself Nash, and asks whether they should trust him or not. On the other side, Shark reluctantly says that he trusts Dumon slightly now, and Dumon says that he did it for the benefit of a friend. As the groups continue walking, Yuma's group arrives at a room where one of the "Mythyrian Numbers" is located. Shark and Dumon, on the other hand, arrive at an empty room. There, the guardian of one of the "Mythyrian Numbers" appears before Yuma and Astral, saying that he will not give them the "Number" unless they defeat him in a Duel. The guardian continues that if Yuma loses,
he'll take their souls, meaning Shark and the boy. Yuma is shocked to see Shark and Dumon in danger. He commences the Duel with the guardian with their lives on the line, as well as the "Number".
Featured Duel: Yuma Tsukumo vs. Mach
Turn 1: Mach
Mach draws "Labyrinth of Decision". He then Sets a monster and two cards.
Turn 2: Yuma
Yuma draws "Gagaga Magician" and subsequently Normal Summons it (1500/1000). As he controls a "Gagaga" monster, Yuma Special Summons "Gagaga Child" (800/1200) from his hand via its own effect. Since "Gagaga Child" was Summoned via its own effect, its effect allows it to change its Level to the same Level as "Gagaga Magician", from 2, to 4. He then activates "Gagagatag" to increase the ATK of the "Gagaga" monsters he currently controls by 500 ("Gagaga Magician" 1500 → 2000, "Gagaga Child" 800 → 1300).
Duel continues in the next episode.
