Well, NAS claims it is spelled with the X, while when discussing it in legal terms with 4kids it gets refered to by 4kids as Zeal (I can link to those documents if you wish).
While Fuuya did get a lucky hand, it does show how easy it can be to summon Rank 1 that requires three lv 1s. I hope the actual spell/trap allows for better ease of summon though.
Robin is actually Level 10. Sadly, its effect sucks for its stats (Banish it from your Graveyard to make an attack a direct attack).
It also doesn't help that, of course, Fuuya had an uber-situational card that perfectly set it up in the first place (Trion Barrier) coupled with the fact that Trion the Three Stars has a better anime effect than its OCG counterpart (Special Summons itself immediately when Tributed for a Tribute Summon rather than during the End Phase).

NAS sucks at legal stuff, they failed to get the ability to go to the licensing expo in Las Vegas. If this trial goes on into the Summer, 4kids might start dubbing Zexal.

Is it bad for me to hope that this is another Kiba or Taisenki? I don't care much for the game mechanics as so much as what they can do with them to influence the plot.
Fuya is one heck of a walking fujoshi material....

Well, the Fuuya episodes were pretty good, it showed us a character many fell in love with. Of course they are upset he isn't in episode 9. Cat girl is pretty much what was expected, a girl with an obsession with Yuma (looking back, she was there stalking him all along). Her actions might not have trapped Kotori, but did distract her well enough to get the attention of Yuma and Astral. It was a good episode, I enjoyed it.
For Yu-Gi-Oh!, described by the firm as the “cornerstone” of its business, 4Kids will be presenting Zexal, the new series which will debut in the US this autumn. PR plans to commemorate the franchise’s fourth season will also be detailed, including a Toonzai 500 episode stunt.
Not only did 4kids get NAS taken out of the expo, but now they supposedly can showcase Zexal instead, which is said to debut in Autumn.
How 4kids did it? Who knows, but the Expo starts either today or tomorrow, before any action can be done to have them taken out. It is final. 4kids will be showing Zexal.

The judge just held it status quo until the court battle sorts it out.
If 4Kids loses the court battle, then Zexal will have a very short TV run and whoever was dumb enough to license it from 4Kids before they went to court prob lost some money.
Goddamn it! You should keep the spoil in spoiler tag dude. I haven't watch it yet...
Sorry, but it was sorta obvious. If Yuma did win, I would have ended up using them. If you are ever looking for Raws/subs/scripts of Zexal, just ask me. I mod at a forum where our members make them.
Complete ZeXal Ep 10 English Script!!! (Quiz and Preview Included)
Astral:These huge components, which start functioning by returning the scattered Numbers cards, have the same amount as my broken memory: 99. What message does this building trying to deliver? Why such thing would exist in
Yuma’s key? Don’t tell me someone is able to foresee my memory loss?
Yuma: Shoot! I am late, I am late, I am so late!! (Almost got ran over by Shark) Hey, watch it! Didn’t you see the signal light? You are…Shark. Where is that Shark guy going? (At school) I made it.
Takashi: Yuma-kun, let me take a look at your deck.
Yuma: Hey…!
Takashi: How strange, they are not here.
Yuma: What do you mean?
Takashi: I mean Numbers. Where are those cards?
Yuma: Those cards can only be in my deck once that guy appears.
Takashi: That guy?
Kotori: Astral, something about Duel Spirit.
Takashi: What the heck is that? So in conclusion, without Numbers cards, for now Yuma-kun is just a no-good duelist.
Yuma: What are you talking about? You talking like all my victories so far were attributed to the strength of Numbers and that guy!
Takashi: Isn’t that how it is? As result, there is no way Yuma can win against Shark and Tokunosuke if without them.
Yuma: You guys are still not aware the power of my Kattobingu! My Duel Sphinx did improve drastically!!
Kotori: Sphinx?
Tetsuo: I think he means Tactics.
Kotori: Awesome! Looks like Tetsuo is Yuma’s human translator! (BoBo: Yes, that’s exactly what they said xD)
Takashi: Then Yuma-kun, can you prove to me that you are strong even without Numbers?
Yuma: Of course, I can! Then I will duel with Shark once again! As long as I can defeat him without Numbers, right?
Kotori: Yuma!
Tetsuo: Hey you…
Takashi: I see. That way, I can recognize Yuma-kun’s strength too, right?
Yuma: Nice! Then let’s get to Shark’s place!
Tetsuo: Wait, Yuma! I heard that guy hasn’t come to school recently. After losing the duel with you, Shark’s reputation falls dramatically. Rumor says he start hanging out with some bad people.
(Insert OP)

Can he win without the power of Hope? Yuma challenges Shark once again!
No.10 Shark’s Counterattack!
Radio: Welcome! We appreciate your business today.
Yuma; Geez, those guys don’t understand at all, that I am way stronger than before!
Astral: Where are you going, Yuma?
Yuma: What are you doing at this point of time? It’s all because of you that things would become this troublesome!
Atral: Why would you say that?
Yuma: I will duel with Shark again,
Astral: Shark, that boy who used Numbers? But why are you dueling him?
Yuma: You don’t need to know! This duel has nothing to do with you! No, it would be troublesome if it HAS something to do with you!
Tetsuo: Wait!
Kotori: Yuma, are you really planning to go?
Yuma: Of course! Without seeing Shark, there is no way to duel, isn’t it?
Tetsuo: Here?
Yuma: This is where Shark is…?
Tetsuo: Hey, it doesn’t look too good! Hey, Yuma!
Astral: Such a strange place…
Kotori; Yuma! Let’s get back! This place…
Yuma; Tetsuo!
Gangster #1: What are you doing here, brats? This is our place!
Yuma; You…take your hands off….!
Kotori: Yuma!
Yuma: Hands off!
Gangster #2: Such wonderful spirit from this stubborn brat!
Gangsters: What happened? Big bro / Aniki? What’s up with those guys?
Yuma: You Guys…I came here to settle the scores. Release me!
Astral: It’s best for your interest to give up, since there is huge difference between yours and his body form.
Yuma: Just shut up!
Gangster #2: Bro, what should we do about these guys?
Gangster #1: Should we get rid of them?
Shark: Stop it! Release them.
Yuma: Shark…
Gangster #1: Do you happen to know these guys?
Gangster #2: Then your lives are spared.
Shark: You guys shouldn’t come here.
Yuma: Wait, Shark! I have something to do with you!
Shark: With me?
Yuma: Please duel with me once again!
Shark: Hmph, I can’t do that.
Yuma: Why?
Shark: I already gave up dueling…I am no longer playing…
Tetsuo: It seems Shark is fallen too. Those brothers are punk duelists; they attend all kinds of tournaments, and make threats to others. What’s wrong, Yuma?
Astral: Yuma, why would he give up dueling?
Yuma: Right, why would he give up dueling…
Tetsuo: No doubt that’s because of losing to you.
Yuma: Then why losing to me means give up dueling?
Tetsuo: There is something you can never get back after losing.
Yuma: Something you can’t get back once you lose?
Tetsuo: Speak of which, that Shark guy start acting bad when he participated in the national duel tournament. Something might happen by that time.
Yuma: That guy…he should enjoy dueling the most….
Tetsuo: Huh, where’s Yuma?
Kotori: It seems he went home in a hurry…
Tetsuo: Don’t tell me that Yuma…
Shark: What do you want?
Yuma: Duel with me! What’s so fun about hanging out with those punks?
Shark: What do you understand?
Yuma: Once we duel, we will be able to understand everything about each other, right? Ok, duel with me!
Shark: I gave up dueling, quite bugging me!
Yuma: Shark, wait! Kattobing da ze, ore!! (hits wall) Kattobingu da….
Shark: So he finally gave up?
Yuma: Shark…duel…with me. Why, why would you give up dueling?
Shark: What on earth is wrong with you? Why are you acting so persistent to me?
Yuma: That….of course, because we are friends! Once we duel, we are no longer stranger to each other…we are friends then! Didn’t you feel the same way?
Shark: You little…did you really mean that?
Yuma: I mean it! If I win, you have to withdraw from that gang!
Shark: So what are you betting on?
Yuma: I…I will bet on this!
Astral: Yuma…that’s…
Yuma: You shut up!
Shark: Interesting, but don’t you regret it! This time I will definitely let you lose the most precious thing to you!
Astral: Yuma, are you sure you want to do this?
Yuma: I said this duel has nothing to do with you! I will NOT use Numbers during this duel.
Astral: What’s that supposed to mean?
Yuma: Numbers can only be defeated by Numbers. But Shark no longer owns a Numbers!
Kotori: Yuma…
Yuma: Against someone who doesn’t have it, how can I do such despicable thing using Numbers? Plus, my level did improve much more than before…Even without your strength, I can still win!
Astral: Understood. I will see about that.
Shark: I cannot forget the fact that I lost to you before…maybe deep inside my heart, I’ve been waiting for this moment.
Yuma: Let’s Go! Duel Disk, SET! D-GAZER SET! AR (argumented reality) VISION, LINK ESTABLISHED!! DUEL!!!!
Yuma: Let’s go! It’s my turn, draw! I summon Gogogo Golem!
Astral: Be careful, Yuma. All the monsters he used are quite powerful. With merely Gogogo Golem…
Yuma: I got it! I set one card face-down! I cannot declare an attack during my very first turn, so I end my turn! My set card is Battle Break, it’s a trap card that can end the Battle Phase when my opponent declares an attack and destroyed my monster. That way…it won’t be easy for him to attack.
Shark: My turn, draw! I summon Killer Frilled Shark!
Astral: Killer Frilled Shark’s ATK is 700…what’s he planning to do?
Shark: I then special summon Shark Sucker! This monster can be special summoned from my hand when a Fish-Typed monster is summoned!
Astral: There are 2 LV3 monsters…don’t tell me…
Shark: I overlay LV3 Killer Frilled Shark and Shark Sucker! I use these two monsters to construct Overlay Network! Xyz summon! Come forth! Submersible Aero Shark!
Yuma: ATK 1900…it’s higher than Gogogo Golem…But I have the trap card which can stop Shark’s attack (Note: Since Battle Break can only be activated when Yuma’s monster is destroyed. So again…Yuma is being…ahem!! xD)
Shark: I activate Aero Shark’s effect! Once per turn, by detaching one Overlay Unit, I can inflict 400 damage to my opponent for every card in my hand! There are 4 cards in my hand, so you receive 1600 pts of damage!!
Yuma: What?!
Shark: Then I activate Quick-Play Magic card form my hand! Cyclone! (or mystical space of typhoon in TCG) Cyclone can destroy one Magic or Trap card on the field.
Yuma: My trap…
Shark: Go! Aero Shark, attack Gogogo Golem! BIG EATER!!! I set one-card face-down, and end my turn.
Takashi: Awesome! With merely one-turn, Yuma-kun’s Life dropped to 2300!
Tetsuo: Shark is extraordinarily strong after all! \
Kotori: Yuma..
Shark: So, what’s wrong? Aren’t you come here to defeat me? To defeat my fallen self once again and then laugh at me!
Yuma: No! That’s not what I am planning to do! Tch! If this continues, there is nothing I can do, only if I can use Numbers…Darn it! My turn, draw! This is…I summon Gagaga Magician! Gagaga Magician, once per turn, can change this card’s level from 1—8, and I have Monster Reborn in my hand, if I can resurrect Gogogo Golem that way, then I can summon Aspiring Emperor Hope to my field. Although I did day I won’t Numbers in this duel, But…
Shark: Alright, just summon it! Numbers, your trump!
Takashi: What the heck is Shark saying?
Tetsuo: Numbers can only be defeated by Numbers, he should already know that!
Shark: Alright, hurry up and summon Numbers! Are you thinking that you can beat me without using that card? Since I accepted this duel, then it is only meaningful if I defeat you who use Numbers!
Yuma: That’s right, Shark is unbelievably strong. If this continues, I…to defeat Shark like that…
Astral: Yuma, are you planning to use Numbers? You said if you use Numbers during this duel, then it would be a despicable behavior. But I won’t oppose you, since I can’t lose Emperor’s Key (Ou No Kagi) If you wish to win, then use Numbers.
Yuma: Right, that’s how it should be! In this duel, my pride isn’t the first priority, I have to save Shark! I activate Magic card Monster Reborn! I resurrect Gogogo Golem in my graveyard! I overlay LV 4 Gagaga Magician and Gogogo Golem, I construct Overlay Network with these two monsters, Xyz Summon! Come forth! Aspiring Emperor Hope!
Kotori: Yuma used Numbers?
Tetsuo: He said he won’t use it!
Takashi: In conclusion, Yuma’s duel is all about Numbers!
Shark: So you finally appear, Numbers. I am fired up!
Yuma: Go! Aspiring Emperor Hope! Attack Aero Shark!
Shark: How naïve! I activate the effect of Killer Frilled Shark! By removing Killer Frilled Shark in my graveyard, I can negate an attack from one of my opponent’s monsters, and it loses 500 ATK!!!
Yuma: What?!
Shark: I activate trap card, Fish Rain! When a Fish-Type Monster is removed from play, this card special summons one LV 3 or lower Fish-type monster from my hand!
I summon Big Jaws!
Yuma: How could this be? Even Hope cannot destroy Aero Shark.
Astral: You just made a mistake because you are too eager to win, Monster Reborn can resurrect monster from opponent’s graveyard as well. If you resurrect Killer Frilled Shark from Shark’s graveyard, and using Gagaga Magician’s effect to xyz summon Revise Dragon (or Revice Dragon / Leviath Dragon) Then Killer Frilled Shark’s effect won’t be activated. Additionally, using Revise Dragon’s ability, Aero Shark can be destroyed as well!
Yuma: You are so noisy! It’s all good. Hope’s ATK is 2000. There is no monster with higher ATK than Hope on Shark’s field! I will end my turn like this!
Shark: My turn! Draw! I activate Aero Shark’s effect! Once per turn, by detaching one Overlay Unit, for every card in my hand, I inflict 400 damage to my opponent! There are two cards in my hand, so you will receive 800 damage! Then I summon Skull Kraken!
Yuma: There are 2 LV3 monsters!
Astral: Don’t sweat; he doesn’t have a card which can destroy Hope, as a Numbers.
Shark: I overlay LV3 Skull Kraken and Big Jaws! I construct Overlay Network with these 2 monsters! Xyz Summon! Come forth! Black Ray Lancer!! This duel, I win! Black Ray Lancer’s effect activates! By detaching one Overlay Unit, during this turn, the effects of one of my opponent’s monsters are negated!
Yuma: What?! HOOOOPPE!!
Shark; Even Numbers cannot be destroyed, but it is no more than a card effect! Once that effect disappears, then it can be destroyed!
Yuma: How could this be? Hope’s…Numbers’ effects are negated?!
Shark: Go, Black Ray Lancer! BLACK SPEAR!!!
Yuma: HOOOPE!!! Hope, is defeated….
Astral: This boy…he discovered the weakness of Numbers…
Shark: Aero Shark, Direct Attack! BIG EATER!!!
Takashi: As result, a complete defeat.
Kotori: Yuma…lost…
Yuma: You can’t be serious! Even I used Numbers…
Shark: That’s so easy. Lost to a duelist like you, and lose everything, how laughable! As we promised, I will keep this!
Yuma (memory) That…of course, because we are friends!
Shark: This kind of thing, it doesn’t even worth to be destroyed!
Yuma: Shark, wait!
Shark: Yuma! Can’t you understand? I stayed with them at my own will! They provide a “home” to a homeless person like me. So stop getting involved with me!
Yuma: Shark…
Kotori: Yuma…
To be continued….
Quiz:
Let’s start to duel! This week’s question, they type of Magic card which can be activated during opponent’s turn is…Equip Magic or Quick-Play Magic?
The answer is…Quick-Play Magic card! Although Magic cards can only be used in your turn, Quick-Play Magic Card can be activated in your opponent’s turn too!
Preview:
Yuma: Shark, Let’s Duel!
Shark: Why would you get involved with me?
Yuma: Of course because we are friends! Next Yu-Gi-Oh! ZeXal, Yuma and Shark, A Tag Duel of Scars! Kattobing Da Ze, Ore!!
Not only did 4kids get NAS taken out of the expo, but now they supposedly can showcase Zexal instead, which is said to debut in Autumn.
How 4kids did it? Who knows, but the Expo starts either today or tomorrow, before any action can be done to have them taken out. It is final. 4kids will be showing Zexal.
That's awesome, hopefully they are able to air or stream all of the episodes dubbed before they lose the license.
