For the archetype used by this character in the manga, see Astral (archetype). Astral (アストラル Asutoraru) is a being from the Astral World in Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL that serves as the deuteragonist of the series along with his partner and eventual friend Yuma Tsukumo. He was sent to the Human World by Eliphas to destroy the Barian World in order to Rank-Up their world, but after Kazuma Tsukumo modified his programming, he was sent to Yuma instead. Upon arriving in Yuma's world, his memories were scattered in the form of 100 "Number" cards. While originally he only retained one of the "Numbers", he knew that when two or more "Numbers" confront in a Duel, they will battle each other to consume one another, allowing Astral to absorb vanquished "Numbers" and recover pieces of his memories. Since pursuing the other 99 "Numbers", he and Yuma have retrieved all 100 pieces of Astral's memories, along with each respective "Number", with the addition of attaining eighteen Chaos Numbers plus a Rank-Up and Rank-Down version of "Number 39: Utopia". Due to his amnesia, he forgot his mission which was entrusted to him. Number 96 claimed that his mission is what all of the "Numbers" want - the destruction of the world, which horrified him.[12][17] Related to this is his mission is to obtain a powerful card known as the Numeron Code that can shape worlds,[18] with the intent of destroying the Barian World.[19] ADVERTISEMENT Design Appearance Astral's Lineart Astral Lineart. Being an energy being of the Astral World, Astral has a transparent blue body with green markings and blue gems all over his body. He has blue hair that curls up in a Mohawk and pointed ears, which are pierced with dangling earrings. Astral also has heterochromic eyes, the left eye being luminous gold and the right a clear white. Astral's body is also very thin. In the English dub, Astral's lower body is sometimes blurred off to remove nudity implications. Astral-l Astral's appearance. In a flashback showing Astral's birth, he is briefly shown with both of his eyes being gold and the right side of his body being the same opaque blue as the left side normally is. When falling under the influence of Chaos, Astral develops a darker color scheme on the left half of his body, has a black outline on his outer body and emits a red aura. Personality Although Astral has amnesia, he has a very intelligent and calm attitude when it comes to Dueling. Even in disastrous situations, he does not seem to lose his cool and can think of a strategy to get out of it. Outside this, arguably because of his memory loss and sudden arrival to another world, he is curious to the point of naivety, for matters as simple as eating, going to the bathroom,[20] or knowing that TV shows are not real.[21] His naivety would go to such extent so as to ask Yuma why "he needs to be alone" when Yuma's in the bathroom, to which he replies by saying that anyone who sees him in there would "die" (in the dub, Yuma says that that someone would turn into a "guinea pig") otherwise, a thing that Astral took literally.[20] When he "discovers" things, he has an habit of saying "observation number one, two, three" (which used to annoy Yuma) and then speak the result of his analysis; the fact that he can successfully continue the counting throughout the series implies he has great memory. Astral's observations stopped after their first Duel with Kite Tenjo, which left him quiet and depressed.[22] However, after their Duel with Fortuno, which restored his and Yuma's confidence, his observations returned. In the dub, this observation came with a "sub-observation" that he labelled #13-A.[23] As Astral continues to learn about the human world, he showed great interest of feelings and friendship from observing Yuma and becoming more human in the process. During a Duel with Vetrix, Yuma started to eat the rice balls that Tori gave him prior to the Duel which allowed Astral, who was fused with him to feel the sensation of eating for the first time. He felt incredibly energetic and lively by the taste of the rice balls, stating he wanted to eat "two, or three" more of them, while cheerfully saying that being Yuma has been fun in a rather comedic instance.[24] Astral has a fear of cats, which he defended by claiming that he hadn't done any observations about them,[5] but seems to gotten over it later on.[25] After Dueling with Kite Tenjo for the first time, he developed a strong fear towards him, so he always tries to tell Yuma to run from Kite instead of fighting him, to the point of telling Yuma to forget his friends. He first denied that he was afraid of Kite, but later admitted.[26] Later during the Duel with Fortuno, Astral overcame his fear and decided to actually fight. After he and Yuma thought about their previous Duels, stating they came too far to lose now, Yuma called Astral his friend, restoring his fighting spirit.[23] During their duels, Astral often says "The winning formula is complete" whenever he and Yuma are ready to make their comeback. Usually stoic and cool, Astral does not smile much, but he smiled for the first time when Yuma recognized him as his comrade.[23] Afterwards, Astral begins to smile more often at Yuma since then and even cheered him on with his friends and family when he was trying to do his 20-stack challenge.[27] He still retain his withdrawn nature and tendency to keep his most of thoughts to himself. When observing and learning things unknown and important to him, Astral will only voice speculations once he gathers more evident proof or when a problem presents itself, such as telling Yuma about the world inside the Emperor's Key only after gaining a handful of "Numbers" cards and learning of its origins.[8] Later, Yuma pointed out that Astral was starting to act like him, more daring and willing to take risks, much to Astral's denial.[28] Abilities Astral is a Duelist of another universe who can only been seen by Yuma Tsukumo and those connected with the Barian World; he can also be seen by people exposed to energy derived from the Astral World or Barian World, which included the Arclight Family's power of the crest. Others cannot see or hear him, which often leads them to think Yuma is talking alone. Astral is not a physical being, but is shown to be able to hold Duel Monster cards, though it is unknown if it's only the "Numbers" or any cards. However, Astral can be seen through photographs, although he only appears as a light blue haze.[29] He is also capable of flight as he is always seen floating, and seems to not rely on things such as food to live. Although, Astral needs his current partner to have "Numbers" and will start dying if those "Numbers" are forcefully taken away or when Yuma is losing life points in a Duel with an opponent that has a "Number".[30] Astral can only experience the sensation of taste when he and Yuma share a body in ZEXAL mode.[24] Even with his loss of memory it has been shown that Astral is indeed a very skilled Duelist, a fact he himself recognizes despite his amnesia, and further demonstrates in how he has advised Yuma on his play, only for him to play the opposite of what Astral dictates and end with rather disastrous results. He also has vast knowledge of the game and most of its cards, like demonstrated in by how quickly he understood Dextra's combo and found its weakness as soon as they arrived [31] He also uses what he knows about a person to win Duels. An example is when how he used Mr. Kay's desire to win a perfect Duel to set up a situation that used his own desire against him.[6] Astral showed good math skills during Charlie McCay's Duels being able to constantly calculate what were Charlie's chances of rolling 6 again whenever he rolled a dice.[32]
