Tetsuo then gives Yuma the other half of the pendant, saying that he found it accidentally. However, it can be clearly seen that Tetsuo was searching for it as well, judging by its hands.
Shark overpowers Yuma during the Duel, but when Yuma decides to believe in himself, his broken pendant restores itself, and Yuma uses it to open The door of his dreams. When he does so, a dark card, called a " Number ", possesses Shark, making him even stronger.

He asks Yuma for his autograph, and gives Yuma " Baby Tragon ", saying that would represent their friendship.
At home, Astral asks who the two people in the picture Yuma has on his desk are. He tells him that those are his parents and who never returned from their adventure. Astral recalls Yuma mentioning that his parents gave him the Emperor's Key and wonders if they are related to its powers. Yuma tells him to forget about that and shows him his new "Baby Tragon" card - his very own Xyz Monster. Yuma hears someone coming. His sister, Akari, enters the room and asks when he's planning to go to bed - she's trying to write a news article and Yuma won't be quiet.
He apologizes and says he'll go to bed now. Seeing the card in his hand, she asks if he's been playing Duel Monsters. He says that of course he hasn't, as his sister previously forbade him to do so. Their grandmother muses that Yuma is a poor kid to be picked on like that.
Akari believes that for Yuma, Dueling is more than just a game, and that it can't be helped. Astral is surprised to learn that Yuma isn't allowed to Duel and Yuma responds that his sister doesn't wish him to, as she believes something bad may happen.
Then, during the next day, Yuma Duels Tokunosuke at school. However, Tokunosuke uses "Baby Tragon" to take control of Yuma's "Numbers", and reveals that the paper which Yuma signed was an agreement to bet on their best cards for the Duel.

She then explained that the bandit kept muttering "Numbers Hunter", but that she didn't know what that means, and that it seems to be related with Duel Monsters. Yuma then said that he couldn't know anything, since he is forbidden from Dueling. Akari noticed something wrong, but didn't say anything.
Yuma then went to bed, while she kept working on the news. Later, at school, Astral discussed with Yuma about that "Numbers Hunter", worried about what is his goal and if he would come after Yuma. However, Yuma didn't worry about that. As it was raining, everybody was in the class, wanting to go out and Duel. One of Yuma's classmates than suggests going to the gymnasium, and all rushed out towards there.
In the way, it started raining more, and Kotori was getting behind. Yuma then told her to run, but when she was crossing the street, a truck was passing on it. Yuma immediately ran and pushed her out of the way, but now the truck was going to hit him.
Yuma then notices he wasn't hit, and Astral finds the time has been stopped. Then, Kaito, the Numbers Hunter, appears. It's not pretty. 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. 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. Flip made himself The Leader , Caswell is The Smart Guy and the most intelligent of the group, Bronk is The Big Guy , a physical powerhouse and the second most capable duelist, Tori is The Chick and the one most inclined to help Yuma due to their relationship, and Cathy is The Lancer , not particularly close to Yuma's friends overall but is still willing to help out partially because of her crush on Yuma and is the best duelist in the group.
Foreshadowing : Opening sequences often shown shadowed monsters and characters before their first appareance.

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.
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.
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.

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. 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. Go-Karting with Bowser : Yuma keeps ending up eating meals with people who are technically his enemy, as well as having in depth, and personal conversations with them on more or less friendly terms.

Using his "Numbers", Yuma managed to destroy all of Vetrix's "Numbers", putting him at a disadvantage. However, Vetrix made a comeback by Summoning "Heraldry Crest", which absorbed the effects of all of Yuma's "Numbers" and reduced him to Life Points.
When they attacked with "Utopia Ray, the effect of "Heraldry Crest" negated the attack, but Yuma survived with the effect of "Lightning Blade". Faker absorbed the "Numbers" of both players within the Sphere Field and nearly absorbed the Duelists themselves.
Yuma wielded "Lightning Blade" with his own hands and saved Vetrix, similar to when his father tried to save Vetrix once before. Vetrix was confused as to why Yuma rescued him and Yuma insisted that everybody can change, and that his family needed him.

During lunch, Yuma slept through it and missed hearing about Caswell becoming "Special Disciplinary Commander". Caswell and the rest of the disciplinary members started enforcing harsh rules on the students, especially Yuma.
When Yuma had enough, he confronted the Student Council President, Carlyle Chesterton , and challenged him to a Duel to get rid of the rules. However, Yuma was forced to play by the school's rules, such as returning his " Gagaga " monsters back to the hand for "breaking" the school dress code, rendering him incapable of damaging Carlyle.
When Yuma convinced Caswell to throw away the role of disciplinary commander, Yuma was able to play normally, but then found out Carlyle was under the control of the Barian World.

After Rio won, Yuma tried to come up with a new name to call her by without making her mad, but began to argue with Astral. This made Rio giggle, and she revealed to Yuma that she was glad that Yuma kept her brother from changing into the feared person she heard about, to Yuma's surprise.
While walking home, Yuma talked to Shark about how cool his sister was, and was surprised when he found out Rio's strong fear of cats. While racing with Bronk to school, Yuma accidentally ran into Alito and ruined his attempt to woo Tori.

While walking home, Yuma and Ray met Girag , who suggested they hold a "Friendship Games" to help their friends make up, which they agreed to. However, Girag told Yuma if he was able to make it into the final round, he must lose on purpose. Yuma agreed to this; unbeknownst to him, this was simply a plot for Girag to take his "Numbers".
The next day, Yuma participated in the event and was paired up with Shark, who led them into first place. Before the final Duel, Yuma was partnerless, since Shark dropped out of the tournament, but Yuma forced Girag to take Shark's place, putting the latter in a very awkward situation.

The following day, Yuma lacked his usual energy and solemnly focused on way to beat the "CXyz" monsters, making his family and friends worry about him.
Hoping to make him feel better, his grandma told Yuma to go to the Duel Sanctuary to deliver some items to Roku with Tori. However, Yuma learned from Kaze that their master was away on a trip, much to his disappointment.
In the Statue room, Kaze discussed with Yuma about his frustrations, and received two cards Roku has left for him - " Overlay Chain " and " Overlay Barrage ". The next day, Yuma thought over how to use the cards for offense and defense, but Tori cheered him up and they played by a waterfall together.
However, Mizar countered by Summoning his own "Number" card, " Number Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon ", terrifying Yuma as it resembled the exact same dragon that appeared in his nightmare. When the Sphere Field started to disintegrate, Yuma was sent falling onto a cliff side.
Although Shark tried to rescue him, the ledge gave out and both of them fell into a crater. Yuma and Shark survived the fall, but they were heavily injured and were sent to hospital. While recuperating, Yuma was haunted by Mizar's power and sulked over how he nearly lost Astral.
Downhearted and depressed, Yuma also suffered from nightmares about facing Mizar and losing. While going for check up, Yuma left the Emperor's Key on his bed and found out it was taken by Shark when he returned. On the roof, Yuma was challenged by Shark to a Duel and played definitively, allowing Shark to deal lot of damage to him. As Shark made his final attack, Yuma was about to give up, but still wished to keep Dueling with Astral, which brought him to his side.
Yuma then was told by Astral the Shark's reason for Dueling with Yuma was to help him. Greatly touched, Yuma tried to give Shark a hug as thanks, but the latter pushed him away. After being discharged from the hospital, Yuma went to school and met up with Ray, when they were approached by many Barian-brainwashed Duelists from their school. Worried about Ray, Yuma and Ray were forced to run until they were surrounded at the Heartland pier. Luckily, Shark, Tori and Rio came to help them fight off the Duelists.
While Yuma was defeating a Duelist, a brainwashed Ray captured him from behind. Yuma then learned that Girag was a Barian.
Yuma was about to be finished off when Alito arrived and protected him, defeating all the other students in the process. Yuma was slightly upset upon learning that Alito was also allied with the Barians and accepted his challenged to a Duel. Yuma and Alito instantly Summoned out their ace monsters, engaging in a battle of Counter Traps. Both Duelists were excited about the Duel.
Both players revived their ace cards with " Xyz Stand ". Yuma rushed to Alito and told him that he hoped they could Duel again soon. Yuma became upset when Alito just shook his head and told Astral that he could take his "Number" and his soul, which Astral failed to do.
Although Yuma didn't want him to go, Alito then bid farewell to him, but Yuma quickly focused on Astral, whose body was fading after being in the "Sphere Field". Days later, Yuma and Ray were chased by dogs after Ray tried to find a shortcut to school.
They arrived to school late, slightly injured, but Yuma didn't mind since they had their daily "thrill quota". As Yuma was walking home, Girag issued a challenged to Yuma for the "Numbers" tomorrow; he also told Yuma to bring Ray with him. Yuma learned that Alito had been hurt and Girag believed that Ray was responsible.
Confused, Yuma stressed over what to do, but Astral told him to worry about it later. The next morning, Yuma asked Ray if he really hurt Alito, but was cut off when Ray told him he found another short route to school and told Yuma to trust him; Yuma replied that he did.
After school, Yuma and Astral went to the meeting place without Ray and told Girag that he didn't believe what he said. Then Ray appeared and asked Yuma to join the Duel. Yuma compiled, against Astral's wishes, even though Ray was a terrible Duelist.
