"'''Rank-Up-Magic'''" ({{Ruby|ＲＵＭ|ランクアップマジック}} ''Rankuappu Majikku'') is an [[archetype]] of [[Spell Card]]s introduced in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'' anime. Their [[card effect|effects]] allow one to [[Rank-Up]] an [[Xyz Monster]]. An Xyz Monster with a [[Rank]] higher than the [[target]] is [[Special Summon]]ed from the [[Extra Deck]], and the targeted Xyz Monster and its [[Xyz Material]]s become Xyz Materials on the newly Summoned [[Monster Card|monster]]. This process is called "[[Xyz Evolution#Chaos Xyz Evolution|Chaos Xyz Evolution]]" (when performed with Rank-Up-Magic cards associated with the power of Chaos) or "[[Xyz Evolution#Rank-Up Xyz Evolution|Rank-Up Xyz Evolution]]" (when performed with other methods).

 

The Rank-Up-Magic cards were first introduced in the anime by [[Girag]], who used "[[Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force]]" to brainwash residents of [[Heartland]] in order to take the "[[Numbers]]" from [[Yuma Tsukumo|Yuma]], [[Astral]] and [[Reginald Kastle|Shark]]. Each time it would be used to Rank-Up Xyz monsters into "[[CXyz]]" monsters in order to overpower the "Numbers". [[Mizar]] used it next when he himself ranked up his "[[Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon]]" in order to form its Chaos form. This monster wasn't fully revealed as the [[Sphere Field]] collapsed from its power. [[Alito]] and Girag both ranked up their respective "[[Number 10X]]" monsters. Both of them were defeated by Yuma and Astral (Girag was also defeated by [[Vector]] posing as Ray). In the same Duel where Girag was defeated, Yuma gained his own Rank-Up-Magic card in the form of "[[Rank-Up-Magic Limited Barian's Force|Limited Barian's Force]]" during his Duel with Girag from "Ray" but was later transformed into "[[Rank-Up-Magic Numeron Force|Numeron Force]]" by [[ZEXAL II]]. Vector also demonstrated his mastery of Rank-Up-Magic cards when he used "Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force" on his "Number 10X" monster, and also to brainwash [[Brook Walker]].

 

When Yuma went to the [[Astral World]] looking for Astral, he Dueled against [[Eliphas]] who used "[[Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force]]" in his Duel against Yuma, resulting in the first appearance of "Rank-Up Xyz Evolution".

 

[[Vetrix]] and [[Quinton]] researched the Barian World and managed to create "[[Rank-Up-Magic Argent Chaos Force]]". Due to it being reverse engineered from the Barian cards, its effect is weaker, only Ranking Up the monster and doing nothing else. [[Quattro]], [[Trey]] and [[Quinton]] would go on to use this card against the [[Seven Barian Emperors]]".

 

When Shark became [[Nash]] once again he augmented the [[Seven Barian Emperors|Barian Emperors]] with the Spell Card "[[Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One]]" which worked specifically for their "Number 10X" monsters and was used by all the Emperors except Vector. They still retained the original "Barian's Force", and Alito used it to Summon "[[Number C80: Requiem in Berserk (anime)|Number C80: Requiem in Berserk]]. Vector gained a new "Rank-Up-Magic" card during his Duel against Nash in [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Episode 137|Episode 137]], "[[Rank-Up-Magic Admiration of the Thousands]]". During the same Duel Nash also demonstrated a new "Rank-Up-Magic" card: "[[Rank-Up-Magic Quick Chaos|Quick Chaos]]", the first "Rank-Up-Magic" [[Quick-Play Spell Card]].

 

Astral's final Duel against Yuma revealed him to possess three "Rank-Up-Magic" cards: "[[Double-Rank-Up-Magic Utopia Force|Utopia Force]]", "[[Rank-Up-Magic Dark Force|Dark Force]]", and "[[Hyper-Rank-Up-Magic Ultimate Force|Ultimate Force]]".

 

In the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL (manga)|''ZEXAL'' manga]], [[Yuma Tsukumo (manga)|Yuma]] obtained "[[Rank-Up-Magic - Shining Force]]" during his second Duel against [[Kaito Tenjo (manga)|Kaito]].

 

In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V|ARC-V]]'' anime, [[Shay Obsidian]] was shown to possess seven "Rank-Up-Magic" cards: "[[Rank-Up-Magic Raptor's Force|Raptor's Force]]", "[[Rank-Up-Magic Revolution Force|Revolution Force]]", "[[Rank-Up-Magic Raid Force|Raid Force]]", "[[Rank-Up-Magic Doom Double Force|Doom Double Force]]", "[[Rank-Up-Magic Soul Shave Force|Soul Shave Force]]", "[[Rank-Up-Magic Skip Force|Skip Force]]", and "[[Rank-Up-Magic Escape Force|Escape Force]]". While merged with [[Yuya Sakaki]], [[Yuto]] was shown to possess two "Rank-Up-Magic" cards: "[[Rank-Up-Magic Launch of The Phantom Knights|Launch of The Phantom Knights]]" and "[[Rank-Up-Magic Burial of The Phantom Knights|Burial of The Phantom Knights]]". While in the [[Fusion Dimension]], [[Kite Tenjo (ARC-V)|Kite Tenjo]] was shown to possess two "Rank-Up-Magic" cards: "[[Rank-Up-Magic Cipher Ascension|Cipher Ascension]]" and "[[Rank-Up-Magic Cipher Pursuit|Cipher Pursuit]]".
