comment
The fourth series in the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise. (The title is pronounced "zay-al" in the Japanese version and "zek-sul" in the English dub.)The story takes place in the futuristic city of Heartlandnote this series marks the point where all Yu-Gi-Oh! anime, unless noted, take place in alternate worlds or dimensions, where duels are conducted using the latest Augmented Reality technology. This is the home of Yuma Tsukumo, a thirteen-year-old middle school student who tackles life and dueling with everything he has, despite his lack of skill at either.One day, Yuma is forced to duel the school bully, Ryoga "Shark" Kamishiro. In the middle of their battle, Shark is possessed by a strange Duel Monster known as a "Number" which cannot be destroyed by traditional means. However, Yuma receives help in the form of Astral, a mysterious blue spirit who lacks his memories but is an outstanding strategist.It turns out that Astral's memories have been split into the ninety-nine "Number" cards that have scattered around Heartland, carrying with them the threat of Demonic Possession. As "Numbers" can only be destroyed by other "Number" cards, Yuma agrees to help Astral in retrieving his lost memories and saving the citizens of Heartland. But it's not quite that simple, as there is stiff competition from other factions who wish to amass the "Numbers" for their own reasons, such as "Numbers Hunter" Kaito Tenjo, and the sinister Tron Family.Replacing the D-Wheels of the previous series and Duel Disk models are the brand new D-Gazers and D-Pads, an eyeglass piece along with the new model of Duel Disk for Augmented Reality duels, which allow for more visual destruction of the environment, giant score cards for life points, and an overall enhanced dueling experience. They still use real cards, instead of virtual ones, for some reason.The dub was originally produced by 4Kids Entertainment (later by Konami after 4Kids went bankrupt) and aired primarily on Nicktoons but also Vortexx in the U.S. Both the dub and subtitled versions are available on Hulu.The anime was rescheduled on September 24, 2012 and was rebranded as Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal II on October 7, 2012. However, it is not a new series - NAS' website lists the series as ongoing, with no reset of episode numbers to go along with the rebrand. Likewise the dub of second season, which began airing on August 17, 2013, doesn't change the title. Taking place shortly after the events of the World Duel Carnival, life seemed to go back to normal for Yuma and his friends. However evil forces from the Barian World seek to obtain the "Number" cards to destroy the Astral World. Now Yuma, Shark, and Kaito along with all their friends must band together and face this new threat.Has the distinction of being literally the last Saturday-Morning Cartoon ever broadcast (before the Vortexx block ceased airing on September 27, 2014). Also holds the honor of being the second Yu-Gi-Oh! series to completely finish its English dub (GX only stopped at the end of its third season and 5Ds stopped midway through its last season and was given a hastily edited Gecko Ending).

Aliens Speaking English: Astral. Subverted in Yuma and Shark's tag duel, when Astral mixes up the Japanese word for "cheating" or "counterfeit" with the word for "somewhat." This goes for the Barians as well. The Barians were originally human, meaning it'd make sense that they could speak a human language, except that among them only one is anything close to modern (Girag, who was a samurai in Japan's feudal era). The Astral people.

Anyone Can Die
 Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL / int_1237828f
comment
Anyone Can Die: Tokunosuke was sacrificed to the Barian World in Episode 122, followed by Anna, Fuya, Gauche, Droite, Yamikawa, Rokujuro, and Tetsuo in Episode 125 as they lost to the Barian Emperors. The Arclight siblings join them shortly after, IV falls to Nasch/Shark and III and V are slain by Mizael. And now, even the Barian Emperors start getting hit with this after Vector betrays them, starting with Durbe and Merag, and followed almost immediately with Girag after Alito sacrificed himself to save the former. At one point ZEXAL had a grand total of seven characters that were both alive and relevant. You'd expect Plot Armor to protect the protagonists from death, but nope. Astral has technically died twice, and Shark was revealed to have died several times due to reincarnation. And now, as of Episode 135, Kaito bites it after defeating Mizael and unlocking the Numeron Code. And now, with Mizael dead at Don Thousand's hands, after Episode 141, even Don Thousand, the Big Bad himself, near dies, with Eliphas dead not long before this. Shark Follows not long after Don Thousand dies 100%. This season is looking to have a truly massive body count. The finale however subverts this. The people that were sacrificed, as well as Kaito, the Arclights, Eliphas and the Seven Emperors are Back from the Dead (and Back for the Finale). Even then, Mr. Heartland and the rest of the Fearsome Four do not reappear.

Heroic BSoD: Astral and Yuma both have one after Kaito destroyed them in a life or death duel, and suddenly left them alive to go save his brother. Astral starts having one when he realizes Kaito's dueling outdoes his own in every aspect, and quietly just begins to clam up, while Yuma loses it in front of Kotori, screaming about how he can never achieve his goals with his own weakness. Yuma has another one when it looks like Astral has been killed by Black Mist, to the point where he wants to give up dueling.

comment
Defeat Means Friendship: Tokunosuke. This is discussed in regards to Shark. Yuma insists they are friends because people go from being strangers to being friends once they've dueled. Shark is initially skeptical, but the two eventually do become friends through a tag duel. By the end of the series, almost all of the antagonistic but sympathetic characters have received this treatment.

Order Versus Chaos: Revealed to be why both Astral and Barian World's seek to destroy the other. They were also originally one world before Astral World expelled those with Chaos, which lead to Barian World's creation. This lead to Astral and Don Thousand fighting in the past and now the Emperors and Astral continue seeking the others destruction in the present.

Deal with the Devil: To open the Door, Yuma was forced to give up "his most important thing". He speculates what this might be, eventually concluding its the bond he gained with Astral, but later determining it's Shark. Finally, he realizes its the loss of who he was as a person. Constant life-or-death dueling has changed him and he doesn't like that.

comment
Adaptational Villainy: Played Straight in the manga. Dr. Faker and Mr. Heartland start off in the same place as the anime, claiming to be fighting to save the human world from the Astral World through genocide. Then we learn that destroying the Astral World will also destroy the Human World and, out of nowhere,both Dr. Faker and Mr. Heartland suddenly already know this and are still going forward. Subverted later though, Dr. Faker is revealed to have the same motivations as his anime counterpart, except he died due to a fatal illness sometime before the start of the manga and that Mr. Heartland had been using video footage to make it appear that he was alive. Mr. Heartland is also revealed to have been a conman who ruined the lives of over 600 people. In addition, they both (or Mr. Heartland at the very least) agreed to stop their attacks on the Astral World after they learned that this would destroy the human world. Outside Japan, Mizael complied (albeit reluctantly) to the villagers' orders to kill Dragluon and betrayed his heart and wishes. The original dub depicted Mizael far more heroically, though, and instead of killing his friend, he offered his own life to prove his point but was killed by the invaders before he could do so.

Fire-Forged Friends: Yuma and Shark seem to finally be friends after their Tag-Team Duel, due to Yuma's constant protection of his life points and defense of Shark's own personal failings in front of their opponents. Shark even lets Yuma keep the card he trusted him with to win the duel. This essentially happens between all three main (human) protagonists (most notably Kaito and Shark, as they'd been at each other's throats earlier) during the duel with Dr. Faker.

Mythology Gag: There are many of these to Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, such as Astral's relationship with Yuma paralleling that of Yugi and Dark Yugi. Many of the ace cards of the previous characters and protagonists of the previous series show up again as statues in the Duel Lodge in episode 15. Yuma even briefly becomes the Black Magician, similarly to Yugi in the duel against Bakura. When an underwater Field Spell is activated, Yuma thinks he's drowning. This is a reference to Juudai doing the same in episode 38 of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. Yuma does it again when an outer-space Field Spell is activated. It seems growing an excessive amount of muscles before playing a card game is rather popular in the sequel series. Kagemaru did it in GX, Goodwin did it in 5D's and now we have Dr. Faker in Zexal. Perhaps coincidentally, these are all the first major Big Bad of their respectful series. Also the use of Umineko/Higurashi No Nakukoroni faces.

You'd expect Plot Armor to protect the protagonists from death, but nope. Astral has technically died twice, and Shark was revealed to have died several times due to reincarnation. And now, as of Episode 135, Kaito bites it after defeating Mizael and unlocking the Numeron Code.

Hollywood Hacking: Remember the bit from the original series where Kaiba tries to hack into Pegasus' computer and it ends up looking like "a really boring computer game?" Episodes three and four revisit that idea, with Yuma's sister Akari going through a sort of RPG-style dungeon and even a boss fight as she tries to track down and stop a computer virus.

The Bad Guy Wins: A subversion: Vector and No. 96's plan to defeat Astral fails due to No. 96 drawing with Astral. However No. 96 gained power through Barian's Force AND still has the Legendary Number. What's more he abandons Vector after the duel keeping the Number for himself so he definitely comes out on top in the end.

Borrowed Catchphrase
 Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL / int_2f62653b
comment
Borrowed Catchphrase: Tetsuo, Charlie, Tron, Astral, and Shark have all used "kattobingu", though Charlie got it from Yuma's dad Kazuma instead of Yuma himself. Cathy mutates it into "Cattobingu" (kyattobingu), which, while a clever way to work it into her Cat Girl theme, makes even less sense than the ordinary catch phrase. It seems that Yuma himself borrows this from his father, and it has become something of a family motto. To the point of Akari and Yuma being hilariously over the top by saying to do kattobingu, while giving each other an intense high five, the phrase has importance to both of them. Now it seems like every one has their own version of kattobingu, most recently Takashi's "Todorobingu!" from episode 77.

comment
Evolving Credits: The first opening has Takashi, Tokunosuke, and Cathy being added to the group that Yuma's shown walking to school with after their introductions. And in the first ending, Kotori's clothes keep changing: from her school clothes to yukatas to casual wear. As with 5D's, some monsters are featured in the opening shadowed out, and as soon as they appear in the anime the following episode's opening will show them in full. Examples include No. 83: Gimmick Puppet - Destiny Leo, CNo. 105: Burning Knuckler: Caestus the Comet, No. 106: Huge Rock Palm - Giant Hand, many of the Chaos Xyz monsters, and No. 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon. Subsequent openings and endings initially obscure important characters and then reveal or add their animation once they appear in the show, such as the Tron family, Shark's sister, or the Barians.

Antimatter: Xyz monsters, and Numbers cards by inclusion, are said to be composed of antimatter, which is a possible reason Dr. Faker believes that they would destroy the universe. This isn't really addressed in any plot relevant way, however, and exactly how they're made from antimatter is never explained, and how little sense it makes in general makes one question why the creators even bothered to bring it up.

Rule of Cool: Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon's summon sequence runs on pure Rule of Cool. It involves no less than three explosions, a wormhole (which explodes), another wormhole (which explodes), and a galaxy (which explodes). One can only imagine how much of the special effects budget got poured into this sequence. Shark Fortress's summon is almost a complete rerun of the first segment. Thankfully, Shark decides only ONE explosion will do.

Death is Cheap: Like any Yu-Gi-Oh! show any deaths of the heroes are temporary with pretty much the entire cast but Yuma and Kotori dying at least once and then coming back. Rio holds the record for dying three times in her life and be revived three times. Astral also died twice and came back twice.

Crapsaccharine World
 Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL / int_3b79029a
comment
Crapsaccharine World: Heartland, in comparison to the likes of Satellite and Dark World looks pretty bright and colorful. There's robots cleaning up people's messes, a futuristic atmosphere, and no systematic conflict. Except we've got brainwashings a plenty, cards that warp, distort and outright degrade people's minds into horrifying insanity, a terrifying madman in charge supported by a guy that looks like Dr. Weil who is willing to commit omnicide on one universe to save his son, and which we see as junk being dumped into a world and its residents running, screaming. After the Barians are introduced, it gets even worse. They're at first quirky and bizarre, rather incompetent and overspecialized. Then we see that Girag, despite his comedic quirks, basically goes around brainwashing everyone he can in order to make them basically an army of mind control slaves. As if that wasn't bad enough, Misael appears, with a terrifyingly powerful dragon at his beck and call, and he basically terrifies the protagonist out of dueling him. And then Vector returns, and is shown as even crazier, eviler and more disturbing than we already thought he was. He made a lot of squicky moves on Yuma through his disguise of Shingetsu Rei and a multitude of lies, and his duel with him showed his commitment to completely burying the heroes for defeating him that one time. And even then, we get a God of Evil that Vector incarnated into himself, which has further decayed his sanity. And then we get a nice little story about a King who executed his subjects en masse and then committed suicide...shown in an illustration, followed by several other legends with more sympathetic characters suffering from tragic fates. Then we get the world ending followed by several supporting and even main characters dying! Such a light cartoon, eh?

Yuma accidentally wins his duel with Nasch by attempting to lose. Emptying his hand to stop his own attack means Yuma does not take damage from Nasch's previous card, so Yuma's LP has 0 change, but the 0 change also means Nasch's later card - which he intended to use to stop Yuma's attack - causes Nasch's LP to become 0. And Nasch was forced to play that card, as the card he used to draw it would've made him lose anyway if he didn't.

The Magic Poker Equation
 Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL / int_4159744
comment
The Magic Poker Equation: A series staple, of course, but especially noticeable this time around due to the hoops characters jump through to summon their signature Xyz monsters early in the game. Particularly odd in the tag duel against Kaio and Rikuo/Chills and Scorch, as the protagonists first suspect foul play because the hands they've played are too good. It's weird because in real life, that would be suspicious; but in this show, that's just Saturday. Somewhat subverted with Zexal's power, Shining Draw, which allows Yuma and Astral to create new cards to draw, but they can only do so under very specific circumstances. It is featured sparingly throughout the series. Parodied by the (unfortunately not tournament legal) real-life card Creator of Hope.

Hostage for MacGuffin: Kaito Tenjo does this by stealing Tetsuo's soul in the manga to get Yuma's Emperor's Key. Jin does this by holding his friends hostage over a pit of lava to make Yuma duel him.

comment
Villainous Rescue: Kaito activates his time dilation powers a fraction of a second before Yuma and Kotori would have been hit by a truck and later uses Orbital 7 to stop a jet from crashing, as the disaster would have stopped the WDC and thus stopped his Number hunting. Alito later saves Yuma from Girag, despite that the fact that Girag was about to win the war for the Barians. Alito wants to do it himself.

Gambler's Fallacy
 Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL / int_44c8248e
comment
Gambler's Fallacy: Astral commits this fallacy during Yuma's duel with Charlie. He continually points out the low odds of Charlie rolling a six, given that he has already rolled so many in a row. While it is technically true that rolling a high number of sixes in a row is very unlikely, the odds of rolling a single six never change, so his chances are the same as always, barring his ability to manipulate the roll.

Continuity Porn: Which perfectly mirrors how Jonouchi met Yugi in the manga: Yugi was about to step up to Ushio for beating up Jonouchi and Honda, Jonouchi decided to dive into the school pool and search for the last Millennium Puzzle piece that he had thrown in there earlier.

Combat Pragmatist: Kaito believes that the Numbers brings out the evil in people's hearts and declares on multiple occasions that anyone who wields them is his enemy. This does not stop him from using them to supplement his own deck, so that he can collect all of them to cure Haruto. He changes this view after befriending Yuma. Even more amusing is his statement dozens of episodes later, upon revealing Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon:

Takes One to Kill One: The "Numbers" monsters can only be destroyed in battle by other "Numbers". They can also be destroyed by card effects. Also subverted during Shark's second duel with Yuma, where the former uses his new ace monster Black Ray Lancer to negate the latter's Numbers monster, including its "can only be destroyed by another Numbers" effect. Kaito's Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon also subverts this with such an effect, allowing it to destroy Numbers, in addition to using their overlay units to empower itself. Mizael appropriately refers to it as a "Numbers Killer."

 Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL / int_6bda9a30
comment
Meaningful Name: Tsukumo (written as ���) means 99, referring to the 99 Numbers. Double Subverted by the fact that there are 100 numbers, but only 99 were actually lost. In a similar vein Kaito Tenjo. Ten refers to a decimal point in Japanese and the number 10 in English. Note that the first three Numbers he summoned (Illumiknight, Giga-Brilliant, and Acid Golem of Destruction) are ascending multiples of 10 (10, 20, 30).

Fighting Your Friend: Yuma and brainwashed Shark during the World Duel Carnival. Technically, Yuma vs Vector as well, though in that case, Vector intentionally befriended Yuma just to fuck with him. The last arc is almost entirely this trope.

Big Bad Ensemble: Dr Faker and Tron. Later, while Durbe seems to be the recognized leader of the Barians, Vector seems to hold enough significance with the plot to put him on this level alongside Durbe during the Barian Arc. After Shark turns back into Nasch, their former leader, he returns to his former position.

Averted with the Arclight family. After the World Duel Carnival they disappear and are rarely even mentioned for quite a while, but when they do come back they stick around till the end.

Your Soul Is Mine!: Kaito not only takes a Numbers card when he defeats an opponent, but their soul as well. Anyone defeated and killed in the Barian Invasion arc had their soul sacrificed to empower Don Thousand. Except with Shark, where he ends up just taking his soul because he thought Shark had a Numbers card.

Duel to the Death: If Yuma duels against someone with a Numbers Card, Astral's existence is tied to Yuma's life points. The more damage Yuma takes, the more Astral begins to fade out of existence, and should Yuma lose, Astral would die. From Episode 125 and onwards, this applies to anyone who duels the Barian Emperors due to the merging of the human and Barian Worlds.

Even worse is Rank-Up-Magic The Seventh One, which Rank-Ups the Barian Emperor's Over-Hundred Numbers from the field, graveyard, or Extra Deck to summon their Chaos forms. And all the Barian Emperor's can use their Barian Chaos Draw to draw it whenever they want (except Vector, but he really doesn't need to as his entire Deck is a Story-Breaker Power, starting with a Continuous Spell that heals all damage he takes, every single turn and escalating from there).

There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Standard Finishing Move procedure in the later parts of the series seems to be buffing a monster up to five-digit ATK and then using it to destroy the opponent's ace monster while killing them several times over. Vector vs. Merag is a case study in this: there wasn't any particular reason for Vector to buff his Chaos Marionnetter three times to beat over Merag's Ragna Infinity (two would have sufficed), but he did it anyway just to be a dick.

"Blind Idiot" Translation: There were at least three alternative translations of 'kattobingu': the most common one being "I'll rise to the sky!", another as "Bring it to 'em!", and the funniest being one sub of the first episode had him saying "I'm pop flying!" It's understandable as the word simply can't be satisfactorily translated into English.

comment
In grand Yugioh tradition, the Big Bad, Don Thousand, runs an even more broken version of Z-ONE's hand traps thanks to his field spell Numeron Network, which enables him to activate the effect of any Numeron cards in his deck during his and his opponent's turn. Said other Numeron cards so far have the ability to negate your card effects and then allow him choose another from your deck (so long as they are the type of card mentioned in the Numeron card's effect). Example: During Mizar's very brief duel with Don Thousand, Mizar activated a magic card so both players would take damage based off the dragons tributed to activate the card. Thousand activated Numeron Rewriting Spell which negated said magic card and activated another magic card from Mizar's deck which instead caused just Mizar to take damage based off of that same damage.

Heel–Face Revolving Door
 Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL / int_97522514
comment
Heel–Face Revolving Door: Shark embodies this trope. He starts off as a bully possessed by a No. 17: Leviathan Dragon, and after being defeated by Yuma, becomes his friend, albeit with some rough patches. He then unwittingly becomes a pawn for Tron, due to his hatred for IV who set him up to be disqualified in a duel tournament and harmed his sister, Rio, as well as being bonded to No. 32: Shark Drake. After Yuma defeats him (again), their friendship is restored and he assists both Yuma and Kaito against Dr. Faker, and the Barians as they become an active threat to Earth. Further down the line, he is actually Nasch, leader of the Barians, Rio being the final of the Seven Barian Emperors, Merag. After discovering all of them were simply pawns to Don Thousand, who has now killed all the Emperors but him, he joins forces with Yuma and Astral to defeat him. Upon doing so and realizing that the Astral and Barian worlds cannot coexist, he once against turns against the pair for the sake of his fallen Barian comrades. He takes his defeat graciously and vanishes, calling Yuma and Astral his best friends, leaving them with all the Numbers. Of course, he is then revived along with the other Barians by the Numeron Code.

Death by Irony
 Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL / int_9bca83eb
comment
Death by Irony: A lot of Yuma's duels end in ironic fashions: In their first duel with each other, Shark's play style is basically summoning a strong monster as quickly as possible, Yuma wins by increasing Utopia's attack points up to 5000. Shark got a lot smarter by their next duel. One of Yuma's teachers, under the influence of No. 34: Terror-Byte, wants to win as perfectly as possible, said perfectionism is what causes him to lose. Cathy pretty much overwhelmed Yuma with her cat deck, Yuma uses his own feline monster (Baby Tiragon) to win the duel. Rikou and Kaio spent most of their tag-duel boasting how good their tag-teaming is, Shark and Yuma won by combining the strength of their ace monsters. Shobee thinks that power is everything and overwhelms Yuma with high attack power monsters, Yuma defeats him with Kurivolt (a weak, 300 ATK monster). Anna's whole "strategy" is simply doing as much damage to Yuma as possible, Yuma gave her a piece of her own medicine by inflicting 6000 points of damage in one go. Shuta predicted Yuma would summon Hope in their duel with each other, Yuma did summon Hope...Ray eventually. III and IV allowed Yuma to pair with Kaito in their tag duel because they thought he would be the weak link but it's through Yuma's cards that enable Kaito to win the duel. Eliphas was all but trouncing Yuma with high Rank monsters (Including one that was Rank 13) and cards that give advantage based on getting higher Rank monsters than Yuma. Yuma won by Ranking-down Hope and summoning the Rank 1 Hope Roots. Yuma accidentally wins his duel with Nasch by attempting to lose. Emptying his hand to stop his own attack means Yuma does not take damage from Nasch's previous card, so Yuma's LP has 0 change, but the 0 change also means Nasch's later card - which he intended to use to stop Yuma's attack - causes Nasch's LP to become 0. And Nasch was forced to play that card, as the card he used to draw it would've made him lose anyway if he didn't.

Foreshadowing: Opening sequences often shown shadowed monsters and characters before their first appearance. The second ending (running during episodes 26-49) is a particular case: during the final seconds, Kotori is seen standing in a ruining landscape and is attacked by Shark with Black Ray Lancer, but Utopia blocks the attack, and the camera shifts to show Yuma protectively standing in front of her with Astral in his side. Two years after, in Episode 143, Yuma and Astral are fighting Shark/Nash, Utopia facing Black Ray Lancer, Kotori is watching, and what remains of Earth are ruins scattered in the Barian World.

Continuity Nod/Continuity Porn: Episode 15 featured nearly every major card used by the main characters of the the original and the GX era as wooden statues. Yuma, Tetsuo, and hardcore duelist fans who had watched the original had a Nerdgasm when the 'statue duel' brought the original ace cards (Blue-Eyes, Red-Eyes, Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl) to life. In continuance of tradition, The Hero's ace monster has Attack and Defense of 2500 / 2000 and takes 2 monsters to summon under normal circumstances.note Dark Magician does have 100 more DEF, though. In the same vein, "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" has a lot in common with a certain other ace monster. "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" share the same stats (3000ATK/2500DEF), level (Level 8), type and attribute (Light Dragons), naming-theme ("X-Eyes Y Dragon"). Both owners, by the way, have names starting with "Kai" (Kaiba and Kaito). Furthermore, they both have an upgraded, 3-headed form ("Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" and "Neo-Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon"), which once again, share most stats. The only exception here is the level and summoning requirements (BEUD is Level 12 and requires Polymerization and 3 BEWD, NGEPD is Rank 8 and requires 3 Level 8 Monsters).

Enigmatic Empowering Entity: The Door. A mysterious entity that only appears to Yuma in his dreams. It takes the appearance of a gigantic demonic door wrapped in chains binding it shut, and can only be opened by the Emperor's Key. Sealed inside was Astral, along with the 100 Numbers that comprise of his memories. It warns of future events, and bestowed to Yuma the power of Zexal. Deal with the Devil: To open the Door, Yuma was forced to give up "his most important thing". He speculates what this might be, eventually concluding its the bond he gained with Astral, but later determining it's Shark. Finally, he realizes its the loss of who he was as a person. Constant life-or-death dueling has changed him and he doesn't like that.

What Is This Feeling?: Astral seems to not recall having emotions before, and struggles with what he's feeling toward Kaito until he realizes he is absolutely scared to death of him. When Yuma shouts to Astral that he's his friend too, he suddenly realizes that he really enjoys his friendship with Yuma, and thanks him for the strength their friendship is now giving him.

It's Personal: Shark feels this way when it comes to IV. IV, Shark's opponent in the finals of a tournament, is implied to have set up an accident involving Shark's younger sister. Using Shark's emotional instability from promising to win for her, he purposely set up his deck to fall over, so that Shark would cheat. Kaito has a similar kind of anger towards V, as V was his previous mentor who abandoned him upon finding out that he was the son of Dr. Faker.

Proxy War: The Astral and Barian worlds are engaged in this out of necessity; because both worlds are made out of energy, the residents of the two worlds cannot directly fight each other, so they often fight either on Earth or using humans (the Barians used the Tenjo and Arclight families to do their bidding, while Astral used Yuma to fight).

Screwed by the Merchandise: Yuma's other Numbers typically go completely ignored once acquired in favor of his ace monster No. 39: Utopia and its upgraded forms. No. 61: Volcasaurus has it the worst because one of Utopia's forms - No. C39: Utopia Ray V - is basically a worse version that steals the spotlight, with a nerfed version of Volcasaurus' effect and a more complicated summoning condition.

Near-Villain Victory: Astral and Yuma could not defeat Kaito, and they avoid losing not because they turned it around but because Kaito had to leave to be by his ill brother's side when he was one attack away from winning.

Catchphrase: "Kattobingu!", a nonsense word that mashes up the Japanese term for "to flare up" with the English word "bing", although it could be translated in english as "I'm flaring up in a bing!". "Blind Idiot" Translation: There were at least three alternative translations of 'kattobingu': the most common one being "I'll rise to the sky!", another as "Bring it to 'em!", and the funniest being one sub of the first episode had him saying "I'm pop flying!" It's understandable as the word simply can't be satisfactorily translated into English. Even the Subtitler Is Stumped: Another fansub group has "I'll do kattobingu! (We have no idea how to translate this. Sorry.)" Even the official subs just leave it as "I'm Kattobing.". Borrowed Catchphrase: Tetsuo, Charlie, Tron, Astral, and Shark have all used "kattobingu", though Charlie got it from Yuma's dad Kazuma instead of Yuma himself. Cathy mutates it into "Cattobingu" (kyattobingu), which, while a clever way to work it into her Cat Girl theme, makes even less sense than the ordinary catch phrase. It seems that Yuma himself borrows this from his father, and it has become something of a family motto. To the point of Akari and Yuma being hilariously over the top by saying to do kattobingu, while giving each other an intense high five, the phrase has importance to both of them. Now it seems like every one has their own version of kattobingu, most recently Takashi's "Todorobingu!" from episode 77. The dub just replaces "kattobingu" entirely with "feeling the flow"; and the English manga with "I'm gonna jet!" The dub also adds additional catchphrases; "High-five the sky" and, when starting a duel, "Get set to get decked!" Also there's Takashi's "To summarize". The dub translates it as "In the end".

Sheathe Your Sword
 Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL / int_b2226c2f
comment
Sheathe Your Sword: Near the end of the duel between Yuma and Nasch, Nasch activates a card that stops an attack and forces each player to draw a card. The drawn card has to be played or the player loses. Nasch uses his Chaos Draw and Yuma uses his Shining Draw and Yuma's card is revealed to be "Double or Nothing!". Yuma seems poised to win the duel; however, he ends up stopping his attack using Utopia's effect, realizing that if he won this way, then it would be admitting that he's abandoned his ideals by dooming both his friend and the Barian World. However, it turns out to be exactly the move he needed to make to win the duel. It turns out Nasch knew that Yuma would draw Double or Nothing! and drew a card that would have reflected the damage he would have taken back at Yuma, causing him to lose. Since Yuma stopped his attack, however, a side effect of the card reduces his life points to zero, and since he had to play the card or lose anyway, Yuma wins.

Duels Decide Everything: Well, this is a Yu-Gi-Oh! series. Averted in some of the earlier episodes, where reasons to not take more reasonable options exist. Most notable is Orbital 7 attempting to murder Shark. Kaito calls him off when Shark claims he has a Number - which can only be taken via a duel.

Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: The goal of Astral World. For this reason it removed anything with chaos in it and expelled it, creating Barian World. It also sees no problem with letting weak souls in Astral World die off in order to achieve Rank-Up viewing only the worthy as capable of ascending. Rank Up is also required for ascending to Astral World in the first place, but V and Kite find a way around that, while those who die but have willpower go to Barian World.

Battle Against the Sunset: An invoked example in Episode 59, where the duel between Yuma and Gauche/Nistro during the quarter finals takes place on an anime-exclusive field spell card, Sunset Showdown, which gives this effect, making their battlefield a sun-drenched canyon. The final duel of the third season of ZEXAL between Yuma and Kaito/Kite takes place at sunset, which is used to highlight how the two duelists have changed since their first encounter with each other.

New Powers as the Plot Demands: Taken to new heights from the series standard with "Shining Draw", which allows Yuma to basically create a ZEXAL Weapon monster specifically designed to get him out of his current predicament. In a few cases it even alters the card he draws. Eliphas takes this concept even further, verging on Superpower Lottery.

Durbe, Merag, Alito and Girag get one in the credits of episode 133. Kaito gets one in the credits of episode 135. Mizael and Vector get one at the end of episode 138. Shark/Nasch gets one at the end of episode 143.

Informed Attribute: Kaito is a Subversion. We are told that Kaito does not enjoy dueling for people's souls, but we are shown that he often has a Slasher Smile on his face and seems to go about ripping out souls with a similar glee that a small child would have ripping off the wrapping from Christmas presents. However, Tron actually calls him out on reveling in taking souls during their duel, and Kaito later shows a lot of remorse and becomes The Atoner, but is convinced that nothing he does will prevent his own "guilty soul" from going to hell.

Shout-Out
 Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL / int_c75df49a
comment
Shout-Out: Episode one has many to the Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game itself. The cards themselves look near identical to the cards printed in Real Life, using the brown-and-black spiral vortex instead of the previous series' brown-with-black-dot (though the dub photoshops these into the latter version, presumably due to the anti-advertising laws that demanded the card fronts not look like the real thing in previous series). In Episode 2, Yuma's Monster Reborn card seems to have come from a Gold Series pack, judging by its distinctly dark yellow border. Scattered cards that cause trouble where they go, and a hero trying to obtain them all? Where have we seen that before? Does NOT help that Astral is an amnesiac whose memories were scattered into several forms near the end of the first episode. Yuma opening the gate releases all of the Numbers, most of whom take people over and make them evil, with the exception of the one Yuma keeps, named "Hope". Basically, it's the story of Pandora's Box but with trading cards. Episode 27 has soccer-themed duelist Kakeru using a monster by the name of Captain Wing, an obvious nod to the famous soccer anime/manga Captain Tsubasa. note "Wing" is the English translation of "Tsubasa." At the end of said episode, Yuma holds the heart piece in the exact same pose as Ash did when he wins a gym badge. Heroic Challenger Spartas' summoning animation in episode 51 is modeled after a typical Ultra Series Transformation Sequence, with Spartas flying toward the screen in an Up, Up and Away! pose with a flashy background behind him. Episode 10 is outright named "Shark's Counterattack". Furthermore, Shark himself and Char Aznable have a lot in common, both being a major rival of the main character in their respective shows. The Anime-only card Space Gate looks almost exactly like a Stargate. Dyson Sphere's attack when equipped with Gravity Blaster sounds identical to A TIE Fighter's laser blast. Episode 117 / Zexal II episode 44. The transporter's sound effect is identical to the sound of the Ghostbusters' proton packs. The dub of Episode 78 / Zexal II Episode 4 had (predictably) a Dub Name Change for the opponent of the episode who is a comic book/manga artist. The name of that guy? Art Stanley.

Unspoken Plan Guarantee
 Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL / int_c82e751f
comment
Unspoken Plan Guarantee: True to form, characters are frequently punished for revealing their strategies to the audience, especially when they go into detail about what trap they have set and how it should protect them. Gogogo Golem in particular gets this treatment a lot: Should Yuma or Astral think to themselves that their defense-position Gogogo Golem can't be destroyed by a single attack, you can bet that Gogogo Golem is about to get wiped out. Yuma's comeback turn often starts with Astral saying "The winning formula is complete" and doesn't actually explain the plan to the audience. Then they work together to usually win the duel.

Freudian Excuse
 Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL / int_c868a42a
comment
Freudian Excuse: The reason why Tokunosuke was deceptive is because when he was younger, a group of kids tricked into duels using the ante rule and took his cards. After he found out what they were doing, he used dirty tricks against them and took back his cards. From then on, he thought everything and everyone had a hidden motive. All of the Numbers cards seem to bring about this sort of mentality, bringing out the darkest emotions a person has and using them to justify crazy actions.

Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: Yuma does this to Astral, despite ending up going through him when Astral says he doesn't want to die in a duel, since he's not 100% he can win, so they should forget about his friends being held hostage. It works, since Astral follows Yuma to the duel. Kotori does this to Yuma when he starts to break down over not being able to get into the building where they're keeping the Emperor's key. Shark does this through a duel to Yuma following his duel with Misael. Heck, Gauche did too after Yuma watched everyone else in the semifinals of the WDC.

Series Continuity Error: In episode 43, Kaito's Photon Pressure World did not activate when he summoned Photon Kaiser, even though it was established in the card's text that it was not an option. Dr. Faker's Battle Route card vanishes between episodes with no explanation.note It's possible that Battle Route was destroyed off-screen when Number 53: Heart-eartH was destroyed, as the written anime lore says that its controller needs to have a Monster on the field for it to work.

Spoiler Opening: The first opening of Ze Xal II spoils the existence of Over-Hundred Numbers a good few episodes before they're revealed specifically by having Tachyon Dragon's purple glowing 107 number flash up right before a initially silhouetted Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon.

Lighter and Softer: Compared to 5D's pre-episode 64 setting, Zexal's Heartland is a Sugar Bowl. Until about episode 40. The first few episodes of Zexal II seem to be doing this as well, although Yuma is still VERY conscious about the threat of the Barian World.

Anti-Villain: Kaito might be stealing Numbers cards and souls, but it's to save his little brother from a mysterious illness. Likewise most of the Barian Emperors are just trying to protect their world, with the exception of Vector who is just evil for evil's sake.

What the Hell, Hero?
 Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL / int_d39e327f
comment
What the Hell, Hero?: Tetsuo refuses to duel with Yuma anymore because Yuma lied about not using Numbers in his duel with Shark. He gets over it though. Another one comes in a later episode after V tells Yuma his father is alive in the Astral World. Yuma wants to rush off to find him despite the fact he has no idea how to get to the Astral World, and he'd be abandoning his friends, dueling and the hunt for Astral's memories to do so. After his master makes him wise up and tells him to find his path he goes back to focusing on the tournament. Umimi and Tobio call out Anna on her incredibly rude and unsportsmanlike behavior during their tag duel, which included using Yuma's monsters as Xyz Materials and tributes without asking for his permission. She takes it to heart and sacrifices her own life points so she and Yuma can win.

comment
Friendship Moment: Astral wants to surrender so that Yuma may save his friends, at the cost of his own life, but Yuma angrily replies that he would never sacrifice Astral, because Astral is also one of his precious friends. Something like this happens between, of all characters, Kaito and Astral in Episode 72. After Kaito announces his intention to surrender the duel due to lack of motivation, Astral basically pulls him aside and tells him that dueling isn't just for defending what's precious to you, it's also for making friends - and that Kaito is one of the friends that Astral has made through dueling. He also points out that Kaito must have had some intention to leave the past behind him, or he wouldn't have shown up.

Our Dragons Are Different
 Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL / int_d88e125e
comment
Our Dragons Are Different: Before the universe, there was a single dragon. He was lonely, so he created the universe. Such an action drained all of his energy to the point of death. Saddened by the fact he would be unable to witness his creation, he shed a single tear. This tear became the cosmic object that impacted a primordial Earth which resulted in the creation of the moon. The tear also contained the essence of the dragon, including the Numeron Code and all of the Numbers. This is the creation of the universe according to Yu-Gi-Oh. The dragon itself manifested as No. 100: Numeron Dragon, the key to the Numeron Code, which could in turn only be claimed by the victor of a duel on the sacred grounds on the moon. The duel itself required the dragons of light and time, No. 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon and No. 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon, respectively, as well as No: 46: Draggluong to clash.

Curbstomp Battle: Yuma and Astral together face one of these when Kaito utterly destroys them, and if not for Haruto falling ill and calling out for his brother, they would have lost. There's also Yuma and Takashi's off-screen duel where Takashi wins without losing any of his Life Points. Tetsuo also dueled Yuma 100 times and wins all of them, highlighting how terrible early-series Yuma is without Astral. Kaito's duels are this early-on.

Chekhov's Gunman: Cathy shows up in the background of a number of shots quietly watching Yuma before her formal introduction. The trash robots of the city, which are first seen straight from episode one. One of them called Obomi gets the focus for an episode, however, the most notable part is the robots dump the trash they receive at the end of the day into a large hole like a garbage dump, where the torrents of trash are used to cause destruction to beings in the Astral World) Shark is probably the ultimate example, at first it seems he seems to just be someone who was drawn into the war by experiencing the number's power first and and being used by Tron as his assassin against Dr. Faker and just got roped into it, then it 's revealed He's actually Nasch, leader of the Seven Barian Emperors

Thousand-Yard Stare: After the duel with Kaito, Astral just sort of stares into the distance as Yuma begins screaming his head off after realizing they essentially lost a life or death duel, and only got away alive because Kaito decided to leave the duel before he won. Astral also briefly gets this during the Sargasso Arc when Vector is taunting him with Yuma's "betrayal". Haruto has this pretty much constantly until he is cured.

comment
In continuance of tradition, The Hero's ace monster has Attack and Defense of 2500 / 2000 and takes 2 monsters to summon under normal circumstances.note Dark Magician does have 100 more DEF, though. In the same vein, "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" has a lot in common with a certain other ace monster. "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon" share the same stats (3000ATK/2500DEF), level (Level 8), type and attribute (Light Dragons), naming-theme ("X-Eyes Y Dragon"). Both owners, by the way, have names starting with "Kai" (Kaiba and Kaito). Furthermore, they both have an upgraded, 3-headed form ("Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon" and "Neo-Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon"), which once again, share most stats. The only exception here is the level and summoning requirements (BEUD is Level 12 and requires Polymerization and 3 BEWD, NGEPD is Rank 8 and requires 3 Level 8 Monsters).

comment
Expy: Yuma's relationship with Astral seems to be intentionally designed to draw parallels to that of Yugi and Dark Yugi from Yu-Gi-Oh. And it's not just his relationship with Astral, either. He's a boy with an artifact and a legacy deck, who lives with a grandparent and shares a close bond with a female childhood friend. Tokunosuke draws a lot of similarities from Haga/Weevil. They both look similar, they're both viewed as creepy by the female cast and they both have a sneaky nature, such as tricking their opponent's into taking their cards and taking advantage of it during their duels. Kite Tenjo: Hmm. Badass Longcoat? Check, Morality Pet little bro? Check. Adopted by some dude in a suit who's using them to his own gain? Check. Big, Badass LIGHT Dragon with 3000 ATK? Double Check. Even his main Monster (Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon) points to being an Expy of Blue-Eyes White Dragon. The World Duel Carnival could be considered an Expy of Duelist Kingdom. 5 wins to get to the finals? The man setting it up is after series MacGuffins? Check and check. They're all over the place if you're looking for them, to the point where Zexal sort of feels like an AU that asks what if Atem was an alien. The premise of both shows is: A young slightly awkward boy gets a magic trinket from an adventurous guardian that houses a person with amnesia that once sealed away a dark and powerful entity and then has to collect something to get that persons memories back so they can kill it for good this time. Both the original manga and Zexal even start out with the protagonist turning a bully into their best friend.

Battle Aura: When ever a Duelist uses a Number monster and gets possessed by its power, a dark purple emits from them. An aura appears TWICE around Rio in Episode 81 (Though that's probably just the mental effect other people get around her). This also applies to Astral, who acquires a blue aura whenever he or Yuma engages in a duel, and also when he's inside the Emperor's Key. Yuma in his ZEXAL forms have this and Alito shows it even after losing his Barian powers. Kaito, in two flavors: red for Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, and blue for No. 62: Galaxy-Eyes Prime Photon Dragon. Anyone performing a Shining Draw or Barian's Chaos Draw.

 Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL / int_ec255e86
comment
Slouch of Villainy: Kaito in episode 17 and 18, or rather, a life like doll of Kaito set up because Jin is insane and worships it. The real Kaito is not amused.

Dwindling Party: Once the Barians invade Earth, a LOT of the cast is killed and sent to the Barian World. This isn't restricted to just the side characters, oh no.

Forgotten Superweapon
 Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL / int_ee372442
comment
Forgotten Superweapon: Every so often, Yuma seems to forget about his cards' effects and begin to panic over the opponent's actions, even though he has every card he needs to survive. Most pronounced during his duel with Droite and Gauche, where he finds himself on the brink of despair for apparently having no options left after his last draw, only for Astral to show up and guide him to victory with cards he already had in play.

Early-Bird Cameo: You can see Cathy in the background of the first eight episodes (as well as a small scene in the opening), and notice that she never joins in on anything negative against Yuma, before her introductory episode.

Something Something Leonard Bernstein: The first theme song, Masterpiece starts out with an incredibly fast rap that was slowed down for the TV size, to the point where you can only sing along to the chorus.

Never Say "Die": All of IV's (aka Quattro's) Numbers had their names changed (like Killer to Grinder). Also played straight in the English dub, as references to death and killing of characters are reworded to "destroyed", for instance.

The Power of Friendship: This is a Yu-Gi-Oh! series; it's to be expected. The literal power of Friendship gives Yuma and Astral the ability to summon Number C39: Utopia Ray. The Tenjo brothers' bond creates Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon.

Department of Redundancy Department
 Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL / int_fc151e9d
comment
Department of Redundancy Department: "No. 39 Hope, King of Hope." The English card's name changes it to "Number 39: Utopia." This can be subverted as well on No. 39 it all depends on how you translate Kib�'� which the example above translates as "king of hope". The Yu-Gi-Oh! wiki page translates it as King of Wishes, Hope and one of the fansubbing groups translates Kib�'� as Aspiring Emperor, it all depends on the translation. In one joke segment at the end of an episode Yuma and Astral discusses that it does have an redundant name. In the dub, Cathy gets a last name - Catherine.
