Das Duell zwischen Girag, Yuma und Ray geht weiter. Astral ist inzwischen derart geschwächt, dass er nicht mehr stark genug ist, um Yuma unterstützen zu können. Yuma ist nun auf sich allein gestellt, denn Ray ist dank seiner Unerfahrenheit alles andere als eine Hilfe. Doch plötzlich wendet sich das Blatt – eine faustdicke Überraschung kommt ans Licht …
Weakened by the Sphere Field, Astral is forced to retreat to the key, which Yuma gives to Tori to look after. Just then, Giant Hand's effect destroys Utopia and deals damage to Yuma, forcing him to play on the defensive. Girag then uses Barian's Force to evolve Giant Hand into Chaos Number 106: Giant Red Hand, with Ray taking damage in order to protect Yuma from its attack. Ray then proceeds to help defend Yuma from Girag's attacks, as well as revive Utopia, before giving Yuma a card called Rank-Up-Magic Limited Barian's Force. Yuma uses this card to evolve Utopia into Utopia Ray V, using it to destroy Giant Red Hand and defeat Girag. Because of the severe injuries Girag suffered during the duel, he is forced to retreat back to Barian World to recover. After the duel, Ray reveals himself to Yuma as a Barian's Guardian tasked with defeating the evil Barians, asking him to keep it a secret from everyone.
