Changes

Nash set up the return of "Barian Hope" with "[[Reincarnation of the Seven Emperors]]" before Summoning "[[Black Ray Lancer (anime)|Black Ray Lancer]]" in an attempt to defeat Yuma. Yuma countered with the effect of "Utopia Beyond", Summoning "Utopia" again. Nash weakened "Utopia" with "[[Friller Rabca (anime)|Friller Rabca]]" and brought out "[[Submersible Carrier Aero Shark (anime)|Submersible Carrier Aero Shark]]" as well, but Yuma survived with "[[Damage Take-Over]]". Using ZEXAL, Yuma and Astral created "[[ZW - Sylphid Wing]]", but Nash revived "Barian Hope" using "[[Rebirth of the Seven Emperors]]" at the expense of his Rank 3 monsters. Yuma pushed the attack, but Nash used "[[Draw of Fate (anime)|Draw of Fate]]" to negate the attack and force both players to draw a card. If the player did not use the drawn card by the end of this turn, they would [[Victory Condition|automatically lose]]. Nash used Chaos Draw to draw "[[Glory of the Seven Emperors]]", while Yuma used Shining Draw to draw "Double or Nothing!" Yuma canceled his attack after activating "Double or Nothing!", knowing that defeating Nash would be to sacrifice who Yuma had been, just as [[the Door]] had predicted. Nash had known he would "Double or Nothing!", but this action was not predicted. "Glory of the Seven Emperors" would have allowed him defeat Yuma had Yuma done anything else, but canceling his attack resulted in Nash's Life Points becoming 0. Nash told Yuma never to lose what was most important to him - his ability to believe in others and his pure heart. He mused that he'd not see the future they would create though. The "Numbers" flooded from Nash's body and were absorbed by Astral. Nash told Tori to never let Yuma out of her sight and called Yuma and Astral the best friends he'd ever had. He informed them that he considered this final Duel to be his greatest - and also the most enjoyable. Nash succumbed to his wounds after this, fading away.<ref name="ep143" />
