*** Well,let me try giving an explanation both to this question and the accusation of Yuma cheating through blatant reality bending by changing the card on his hand.(Though my answer might be unsatisfactory).For the first accusation the answer is given by the flavor text (at least of the sub):"a truly strong duelist is able to create even the card he draws when he draws"(paraphrased,because I do not remember exactly how this chant goes).In other duels,this manifests as the magic poker equation,and might even be a legitimate excuse for the crazy drawing skills of all major duelist,and the reason the minor ones have just one,sometimes powerful ,but unevitably beaten in one episode combo:because a good duelist can reliably draw a good card through sheer talent/will.Also,all the protagonist,by the same logic,cheated to an extent,except Yugi ,more blatantly so as the series progressed :Jaden by the spirits which are implied to position themselves with the help of Schrodiver (through one can argue this is not the case,and that the spirits merely notified him about his positions)and Yusei not only by being a signer (and therefore unable to lose against non-supernaturals)but also by performing his own "shining" draws,(through only for one specific card).Finally,as to why Yuma can draw monsters not on his deck,again ,it is the same principle (being ,again,possibly a superpower explicit in the yu-gi-oh universe,where card games are,if not religion,explicily superpowernatural,and thus not viable on our world)albeit breaking the laws of physics and being more powerful than normal due to it using more power than humanly possible,(if we assume the maximum a very skilled duelist can produce is 100%,two overlayed duelist can produce 200%,enough to manipulate schrodiver's law and general possibilities so much that 0% becomes 100%,moreso if it is assumed they use overlay units to activate this effect,and less so if we assume that Yuma was not a skilled duelist during the first and,perhaps,the second fusion (though he certainly became one during subsequent ones)but still good enough to manipulate possibilities into oblivion,dividing by zero and such,creating 100% from 0%,etc.etc. when fused with a skilled one.)[[spoilers: As for the limited barian force->numeron code stunt,he merely used the principle yet again,only this time to instead pump his energy into the card to unleash the full power that was always its,only sealed by Barians/Vector,similar,if you will,to unleashing a weapon's true potential,which was sealed or which faded over time,the only difference being him using it in the middle of a duel,whereas other protagonists would do that before/after that,with a card game,but during a battle,sometimes,when no card games are concerned.]].

Okay so with the return of [[spoiler:Nasch (aka Barian Shark).]] I understand that the Barians are now going to take an active role in protecting their world from being destroyed. But a few things strike me as odd. First how does Earth factor into this? I mean Don Thousand wanted to merge the Barian world and Earth so that he could gain the energy to destroy the Astral world but the Emperors don't exactly know of his involvement yet. (Save for Vector of course) So what is their aim in all this? Do they have some way to utilize that same energy? Second, I know that they wish to save their world but they pretty much lose any sort of AntiVillain status they had when they begin their assault on Earth. It's pretty much implied that everyone that disappears as this goes on is dead. So what? Are they sacrificing Earth to finally win the war?
* They aren't disappearing. They become red/pink sparkles of light and head into the sky, which is the same thing that happened to [[spoiler:Nasch's people. So they are going to live on as part of Barian's World, just as Nasch's people do]]. Also, even with these actions they aren't going to lose their AntiVillain status because most of them are sympathetic and some people are rooting for them even now.

** It likely has to do with Charlie's own belief that he sets himself. He believes his luck will only run out if his powerful Sun Scale card is gone, but considering Lucky Stripe grants him such an insanely high level of luck, he ends up lucky enough to never have an opponent able to get rid of his Sun Scale.....until he encountered Yuma, whose own luck for that one exact moment he used Commander of Swords, happens to exceed the luck granted by Lucky Stripe.

Plus, Yuma also has Astral with him, who gives Yuma a second opinion on what to do. Charlie obviously would never account for the possibility of his opponent getting a second opinion from ''a spirit he's unaware of'', and that messed up his luck, which is probably only meant to be used against one opponent, not two at the same time.

** Given just how big Duel Monsters is, it's likely the card's legend spread fast thought the rumor mill and presumibly passed through a good number of rich owners who'd pay just about anything to have a card that's A) Rummored to bring it's owners fantastic luck, and B) Sure to be coveted by their friends, and a card taht powerful would defintily be coveted by a museum. The fact only numbers can defeat numbers would make it just that more powerful and allow it to get incredibly famous in just a few months.

** Apparently ZeXaL is either A) working like ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' in that it is not canon to the other series in the franchise and 5Ds is the canon series (Since Yuusei went back in time and interacted with Yuki Juudai and Yuugi Motou, his series HAS to be canon) Or B) the historical records were straight wiped out in the Zero Reverse and ZeXaL happened first.

*** While Galaxy-Eyes and it's related cards are self-created cards, Kite doesn't pull them out of nowhere. Each and every one of those are in his Main Deck, or Extra Deck. Yuma, on the other hand, literally creates his cards of thin air. Blatant cheating. And that's not even going into 'Recontract Universe'...

Vector was too busy fucking with Yuma's head to consider the easiest path to victory, and too confident that Yuma would have no possible way of winning (winning a duel with the last card in your deck after the rest has been milled is Yami / Yugi level PlotArmor)

* Also, I don't remember if this actually happened, but according to the wiki, apparently the anime lore of 104 says that after milling the card, you have to shuffle the opponent's Deck - so it's possible the effect can't be activated if the opponent only has one card left, because after the mill there would be nothing to shuffle? I don't know if that's how it would work but if not,
yeah, check the above answer

** The anime version of Photon Dragon is not a Quick Effect, unlike in the real game. That means that if Kaito is the one declaring the attack, and he decides he's not going to use its effect, then if Yuma subsequently activates Mirror Mail, it's now too late for Kaito to try and activate GEPD's effect in response. This situation comes up in episode 42, during the Tag Duel against III and IV. GEPD attacks IV's Giant Grinder and III uses Stonehenge Shield to stop the attack and negate GEPD's effects. In real life, GEPD would have Chained its own effect and banished all battling monsters first, thereby dodging Stonehenge before it could negate its effects. Under the anime version of its effect, however, GEPD isn't allowed to do this.

** It might not be an issue of "worse" more a reflection of how the public reacts to things. Brooke does not look pregnant, the dub was created to be aimed towards kids. 4Kids has a very large track record of unnecessary censorship of anything that could really even imply something not suitable for kids. Some parents wouldn't want to have to explain pregnancy to children and that could prompt complaints against 4Kids. Also pregnancy does have a direct tie to sex, which is a very taboo subject in western countries while being a lot more widely accepted in the east.
** Hidenburg and the Titanic, while horrific, is also a lot more likely to go over a child's head, especially if they're only being referenced and not directly stated. The most children would know about is the Titanic, and they might not even know all the horrors associated with it. The most they would know is "Boat that sank."

** The duels use Augmented Reality, a much different beast than Holograms. With Holograms, you would need specific areas to duel or something like in DM with things that projected holograms. Using AR solves the issue of there needing to be specific areas. Also D-Gazers have other uses in the series. They're essentially a phone that you can also use to duel.

** Vector losing in this way is actually in character for him. He's a sadist, so he would have no qualms letting Yuma and Astral destroy themselves. It's because of this sadism with the assurance that Astral shouldn't be able to get over the devastating betrayal he faced, that lead Vector to his undoing. Zexal II was COMPLETELY out of left field so Vector had no way to account for that either. Vector doesn't push his sadism unless he believes has a sure victory, and since it was Zexal II that screwed him over, it was the one thing he didn't plan for. How COULD he plan for it?

He and his Barian compatriots could rig duels so that their opponents start with half the normal amount of Life Points, and he gets the deficit. Why didn't he use this against Kaito? He could have won pretty much instantly, and still have inflicted pain through Number 1's effect.

* It could be because card production and archetypes are way more expansive in the anime than in real-life. Like you'd see someone running a deck in the anime that's non-existent in real life. Not only that, but certain powerful cards could have been printed in limited amounts because they're that powerful (which is why we don't see MST or Bottomless in everyone's deck). So when you combine powerful cards that are hard to find/acquire with a diluted card database, then of course many duelists wouldn't expect seeing Mirror Force in a deck, which makes cheating even more of a severe crime.

So just before the WDC finals, Yuma is invited to a pre-battle celebration. He can invite all his friends. Flip wants to go, and is also a close friend of Yuma's. So he steals Yuma's invitation and creates a plan to use them as a distraction so he can beat up a finalist, take their identity and sneak in. Fair enough, A for effort.

So just before the WDC finals, Yuma is invited to a pre-battle celebration. He can invite all his friends. Flip wants to go, and is also a close friend of Yuma's.

[[WMG: Heartland Could Have Defeated Kaito]]
He and his Barian compatriots could rig duels so that their opponents start with half the normal amount of Life Points, and he gets the deficit. Why didn't he use this against Kaito? He could have won pretty much instantly, and still have inflicted pain through Number 1's effect.

** Apparently ZeXaL is either A) working like DragonBallGT in that it is not canon to the other series in the franchise and 5Ds is the canon series (Since Yuusei went back in time and interacted with Yuki Juudai and Yuugi Motou, his series HAS to be canon) Or B) the historical records were straight wiped out in the Zero Reverse and ZeXaL happened first.

Since Rio was DeadAllAlong and in fact a Barian Empress in disguise, what did IV actually do to her? Surely fire alone couldn't do that to a Barian.
