"Number C39: Utopia Ray" Rating Score by ゲンゴロウ

Only Xyz can ride the original. Put it on top of Hope, and in a pinch situation where your LP is 1000 or less, you can turn the board over by weakening the opponent's monsters and increasing your attack, aiming for the final finish.
For a while after it appeared, the rank 4 layer was thin, so the effect of the main body was also used. There is also a playing that does not reduce the opponent's LP to 1000 or less when it is exhausted.
Before long, from the manga version of Zexal, an entity called Hope the Lightning, which seems to be the final point of Hope's evolutionary system, appeared, and he was deprived of his position as a finisher. It was mostly used to increase the amount of lightning materials, and this card began to be called an understatement.
As a similar existence, Hope ONE is a card that can be a relay point to Lightning under almost the same conditions, and as a single effect, it has advantages and disadvantages. Except for specialized decks, either one can be used, but I often saw this one because it was reprinted more often and was easier to obtain.
In the end, I think it is a mistake to assess that Japan is weak just because it has been pushed out of position by inflation. It still has a role. Personally, I like this card because it has a design with a high hero power that can overturn a pinch.
