2011 – 2014Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal
Yuma merges with the astral being Astral to recover the Numeron Cards, introducing Xyz Summoning and a tone squarely aimed at a younger audience.
History
Yuma Tsukumo, a clumsy but courageous duelist, merges his soul with Astral, an amnesiac alien being seeking the Numeron Cards scattered across the world. Together they travel, confront the Barian World and its seven Barian Emperors, and gradually uncover the cosmic mystery behind Astral's origins and the millennia-old conflict between the Astral and Barian worlds.
World
Heartland City, a high-tech town where duel holograms permeate everyday life, set against a cosmic war between parallel dimensions.
Legacy
Zexal introduces Xyz Summoning and Overlay Units, a visually spectacular mechanic still central to the card game today.
