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]].

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|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!
