Card Appearances:Number 88: Mirror's Dark Half


 * This card appears in Numbershot 88 as a Number held by the Number Distributor. This Number is sentient, and through the Distributor's power, it manifests as a cloaked figure with no body parts visible save for arms that come out of sleeves in order to Duel.  After Summoning itself, Number 88 then Duels through the fake Yuma created by the mirror, speaking for its "Duelist".  Yuma has only 2000 Life Points when it is Summoned, giving Number 88 only 2000 ATK.  Yuma defeats Number 88 with Number 39: Aspiring Emperor Hope, but that is what Number 88 wants.  The evil Number's eyes lets out a red flash that blinds Yuma's vision.  Yuma's scream is heard as Number 88 takes over his body, trapping Yuma in the fake body.  The reflection is sucked back into inside the mirror, trapping Yuma within the Number 88 card.  Astral absorbs the card, not knowing that Yuma is trapped inside.  For some time, Number 88 manages to mimic Yuma effectively, but tip-offs arise quickly, the clincher being when Hope refuses to let "Yuma" Summon him or Number 13: Devoted Empress Love against a Number holder.  After Yuma is released from the Number 88 card (though still in the discolored fake Yuma form), he Duels Number 88.  Having regained the Key, Number 88 has access to Yuma's Numbers (except Hope and Love) while Yuma must use Number 88's card and Deck, Number 88 fooling everyone (except Kotori and Astral) into thinking he is Yuma and into thinking Kotori is crazy.  During the Duel, Yuma manages to use "Extra Trade", giving Number 88 back its own card and retrieving Hope.  Now under his true controller, Hope allows himself to be Summoned, proving that the boy in the fake body is in fact the real Yuma.  Angered, Number 88 temporarily restores Yuma's Life Points to 4000 before Summoning its own card, raising to 4000 ATK and revealing itself to be the Number.  In the end, Number 88 is defeated by Yuma and Hope, causing Number 88 to return to the fake body and Yuma regaining his own body.  The fake body is sucked back into the mirror (as it was a reflection), and the mirror returns to card form, which is absorbed by Astral.
