SummaryEdit

Kaito Tenjo, a Numbers Hunter, steals a person's soul after defeating him in a Duel. However, he gets frustrated seen he has no "Numbers".

Meanwhile, Yuma Tsukumo sees a demoniac door in a dream, and wakes up. In the next day, he meets Kotori and Tetsuo at school. Later, Yuma and Tetsuo Duel, but apparently Tetsuo defeats Yuma with ease.

At night, Tetsuo searches for Yuma, as he forgot his pendant, which calls Kaito's attention, who was nearby.

When Yuma and Kotori find them, Tetsuo is down in the ground, soulless, and Kaito is standing in front of him. In order to retrieve Tetsuo's soul, Yuma is forced to Duel Kaito.

Kaito quickly Summons a high-Level monster and makes Yuma defenseless, but The Door appeared before Yuma and told Yuma to open it and he will gain new strength in return. Yuma does so and Astral appears before him and tells Yuma to active "Monster Reborn" and bring back "Ganbara Knight", then Overlay the two Level 4 monsters to Summon "Number 39: Utopia". When "Utopia" appears, it causes Kaito's D-Pad to malfunction and he retreats, giving Tetsuo's soul back.
