Initially, Yuma Tsukumo was the only one capable of seeing Astral. This unique ability led others to believe Astral was a ghost.
The Unique Visibility of Astral
In the animated series Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, the mysterious entity known as Astral possesses a very specific characteristic regarding his perceptibility. From the very beginning of his appearance, Astral was not visible to the general populace.
- Exclusive Perception: The protagonist, Yuma Tsukumo, was the singular individual who could directly see, hear, and interact with Astral. This exclusive connection was a cornerstone of their partnership and the adventures that followed throughout the series.
- Public Misconception: Due to Astral's invisibility to everyone else, Yuma's frequent interactions with the unseen entity often caused onlookers to believe he was talking to himself or experiencing hallucinations. This led to the common misunderstanding that Astral was a "ghost," adding both mystery and comedic elements to their early dynamic.
This initial revelation about Astral's visibility established a fundamental aspect of the plot, highlighting the special and unique bond shared between Yuma and Astral.
