'''Photon Hand''' is a method of taking "[[Number]]s" [[monsterMonster Card|monsters]]s from their owners. It <ref name="ep13">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|13|ref}}</ref> This power is technological in origin and provided only obtained to those who hold a "Number" so that they can take away the player they defeated. It was first thought that only [[Kaito Tenjo]] by had this ability with the help of [[Dr. Faker]]'s technology, but Astral is also seen using this method in a more detailed manner.<ref name="ep44">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|44|ref}}</ref> When someone uses Photon Hand, an illuminated hand and arm forms, stretching out and entering the fallen foe. The hand takes away the victim's soul, ages them considerably and leaves them catatonic. Then the user can extract the "Numbers" attached to that soul. Kaito was told by [[Mr. Heartland]] that all "Number" holders are evil, so stealing their souls does not matter.<ref name="ep13" /> Photon Hand doesn't work against someone with a [[crest]].<ref name="ep44">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Kaito claimed that he doesn't know what happens to the souls he takes.<ref name="ep14">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|14|ref}}</ref> Jin claimed that the "Numbers" consume their owner's hearts and drain their souls which would explain why Photon Hand must take the victim's soul.<ref name="ep17">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|17|ref}}</ref> However, this ability can be used even if the target has no "Numbers". In that case, it will just take their soul.<ref name="sp">''Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL'' Rank SP1: "[[Yu-Gi-Oh!
