Yuma was able to find Astral in his consciousness and reconciled with him there, just in time to stop the attack that would have reduced them to critical Life Points and cause them to lose at the End Phase due to 'Sargasso'. Instead, Astral continually ordered 'Utopia Ray V' to attack ' Number 104: Masquerade'. Vector's counter to this move formed an infinite loop that could only be stopped if Astral stopped calling for attacks.

In a berserker-like rage, Astral performed a Dark Draw to equip ' Number C39: Utopia Ray V' with ' DZW - Chimera Clad'. In this form, Astral had sole control of Yuma's body, effectively banishing Yuma to another plane of existence. Astral forcefully initiated ZEXAL with Yuma again, sending both of them into a black hole, which resulted in Dark ZEXAL. Vector reminded Astral of the information Yuma had hid from him, prompting the darkness within Astral's heart to spread. Shining Drawĭuring their Duel with Vector at Sargasso, Yuma and Astral attempted ZEXAL. Astral characterizes ZEXAL as a miraculous power that once protected the Astral World, but The Door describes as the ability that can 'turn darkness into light'.

ZEXAL can only be used in a pseudo-space condition that is or mimics alternate dimensions, such as the space inside the Emperor's Key or a Sphere Field.

While using ZEXAL (and its subsequent forms), Yuma and Astral are recognized by the Augmented Reality system as one Duelist under the name 'ZEXAL'. With this, Yuma/Astral wears a white suit that resembles spandex with red armor plating, his right eye becomes golden like Astral's left one, his hair turns gold and he gains a golden aura. During this time, Yuma and Astral are cloaked by auras: Yuma with red mist and Astral with blue mist, their souls combining into a new body. ZEXAL Morph ( Xyz Change ZEXAL in the Japanese version, エクシーズ・チェンジ・ゼアル Ekushīzu Chenji Zearu) combines Yuma and Astral, with them referring to it as 'overlaying' with one-another as in an Xyz Summon.
