Varian World is using Fakker to destroy the Astral World and promising him power to take over the world. They are in a alliance with Tron to apparently kill Fakker for some reason. You know I think the Varian World will be the next major anatgonist, as crazy as that sounds (sarcasm never gets old). The writers pattern for writing Yuma is getting tiring. Yuma becomes a more competent duelist and shows signs of intellgience that surprises his own friends the writers feel the need to make Yuma do something really idiotic to keep the theme of Yuma being different from the other protagonists as in he is an idiot. How he forgot his deck was hard for me to believe given how much importantce he places on the thing. Besides that the episode was pretty good. Fakker seems like a cliche villain, but I think once we learn more about him he will be fleshed out like Tron.
I finally said screw it and watched the raw of episode 61 and 62. They were pretty good. My real complaint is that we didn't get to see Hope Ray vs. Shark Drake Vice. I was hoping for a Chaos Number showdown. It was werid, because Yuma could have summoned Hope Ray, since his life points were below 1000. The duel was story oriented and the bond between Yuma and Shark which has grown. The duel was more plot based. The duel between Yuma and Shark wasn't really the big showdown I was expecting considering Yuma and Shark weren't playing to win, but help each other free themselves from Tron. I suppose like with Kaito the final showdown between Shark will be later on in the series. Tron's reaction to Yuma foiling his plans was priceless. That guy is pissed.
What confused me is did Astral let Shark keep his Number and Chaos Number? It is darkness can't be suppressed by the Emperor's Key or they need more power to contain it, but is it wise to keep let Shark keep it and hope he can keep suppressing it? Oh well if Shark got to keep his Numbers than maybe the next duel between Yuma and Shark will feature Hope Ray vs Shark Drake Vice. Surprised we didn't see Kaito watch the match considering he challenged Astral and by extension Yuma, so they could settle their score. Kaito vs Tron should be good.
