Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal

Synopsis

In the futuristic Heartland City, Yuuma Tsukumo dreams of becoming the top duelist, but his poor skills make that goal seem out of reach. His fortunes change when school bully Ryouga "Shark" Kamishiro breaks the key given to Yuuma by his father into two pieces. Clutching one half, Yuuma challenges Shark to a duel and is quickly overwhelmed. Suddenly, the key mends itself, and the Door of Destiny appears. Unlocking it with the key, Yuuma meets Astral, an alien visible only to him. He discovers his memories have been split into 100 Number Cards that he must reclaim. Others are also searching for these cards. With Astral's help, Yuuma must protect Heartland City from looming threats while dealing with divine interventions along the way.
