History Headscratchers / YuGiOhZexal

** Given just how big Duel Monsters is, it's likely the card's legend spread fast thought the rumor mill and presumably passed through a good number of rich owners who'd pay just about anything to have a card that's A) Rumored to bring it's owners fantastic luck, and B) Sure to be coveted by their friends, and a card taht powerful would definitely 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.

*** 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.) 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.
*** For people who do not want to read this (admittedly huge)wall of text:Dueling is magic already,so magic means are allowed,while mechanical means and/or ones that lull the oppoment to an unfair situation (such as sargazzo,which ,clearly,no one played and only the villains knew about)is not.

** Against Tron, they were witnessed by a massive group of people who woudn't believe that they fused, let alone created new cards. And even if Tron did try to call him out, it wouldn't have helped seeing as both Faker and Heartland were in charge over the duel, and wanted him to lose.

** Against Heartland, it was very neccessary due to the unfair rigging Heartland had done before the duel.

** A lot of the characters who don't use D-gazers are in some way magical. The Arclights have their crests which are magic and the Barrians and Astral world residants don't need explaining. The others are either created through Hart's powers or Faker's technology.

* What did Yuma think would happen? Yuma's plan was to use Mirror Mail to try to increase Utopia's attack points and destroy Galaxy-Eyes (who was super powered up), but all Kite would need to do is banish Galaxy-Eyes and Utopia, bring them back, and true while their attack points would return to normal, that would just make Kite tear Yuma apart piece by painful piece. Even if Kite's didn't get Photon Cerebrus, he still could've won.

** 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."
