Kite sacrifices some of his own life points, so that he can weaken Drain Dragon and destroy it with Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon without losing to Drain Dragon's effects. Jinlon then uses Dragluon's ability to take control of Galaxy-Eyes, but Kite manages to stop its attack and reobtains Galaxy-Eyes so he can summon Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon and defeat Jinlon. After the duel, Jinlon tells the others about Mizar's legend, who had formed a bond with Dragluon. When the village wanted to sacrifice Dragluon to ward off rainy weather, Mizar prepared to sacrifice himself to save Dragluon, but they were both struck down by the king's army. Mizar overhears this legend and denies it, preparing to fight against Kite. However, their resonance causes the dojo to collapse, forcing Mizar to retreat. The dojo then disappears, with Jinlon leaving Dragluon in Astral's hands, warning them of a potential disaster that resonates all too well, who feels his mission is to destroy Barian World, but he decided to give the number to Kite, so that he can defeat Mizar and see who is the true Galaxy-Eyes Master.

Yuma returns home and watches a news report about a stone statue of a commander named Kiraku Souhachi from the Warring States period discovered at Roku's Duel Sanctuary. The statue bears a striking resemblance to Girag, and believing there is a Number card to be found, Yuma, Astral, and Tori go check it out. Girag, having returned to the human world, also sees the report and gets to the statue before Yuma and his friends. A Number card pops out of the statue, but then a tanuki spirit emerges from the statue and possesses Girag. When Yuma and company finally arrive, they are surprised to see that the tanuki spirit, Ponta, is in control of Girag's body while Girag himself is in the statue. Ponta is in fact the Number's Guardian, and Yuma challenges him to a duel with the Number card and Girag at stake. After Xyz Summoning Number 64: Ronin Raccoon Sandayu, Ponta temporarily possesses Yuma and proceeds to waste all of Yuma's cards in a series of misplays. Nonetheless, Yuma manages to win the duel and claim the Number. It is revealed that in the legend of Girag, Ponta was just a stray animal picked up by Girag and had the ability to transform himself into a duplicate of Girag, allowing Ponta to act as his double for battles. However, Ponta was betrayed by Girag, who sent him away before a big battle, making Ponta angry, and his spirit had been sealed in the statue ever since then. Girag defends himself by saying that he drove Ponta away because he knew he was entering a losing battle, and he wanted Ponta to stay alive. Girag, in spirit form, then bursts out of the statue and swallows Ponta, reclaiming his body. He then departs back to Barian World, with Ponta's spirit resting inside him.
