Official Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal art done by Ebina Hidekazu (蛯名秀和) (Twitter)
(Part 2)
Trivia under the cut:
Hidekazu (Sometimes referred to as the unnamed "junior animator" by director Takahiro Kagami, a senior animator whose work Hidekazu apparently took inspiration from or based theirs off of) was a prominent Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal animator (chief animation director), also known for working on the Beyblade anime, and in the Yu-Gi-Oh space for lots of ARC-V illustrations - another Yu-Gi-Oh! spinoff they worked on in addition to Dark Side of Dimensions before leaving near the beginning of Vrains
They are responsible for visualizing scenes in the Yuma/Kaito vs Thomas/Michael duel, Shark approached/corrupted by Shark Drake, Michael vs Yuma, Vector vs Yuma (the reveal duel), Yuma vs No. 96, Yuma vs Eliphas, Shark vs Vector, ED3, ED6 and more
The 1st drawing at the top was drawn at the request of director Kagami as memorabilia
The 2nd drawing was drawn in celebration of Zexal's final episode on March 23rd, 2014
the 3rd drawing was drawn in reference to the manga in which Kaito is said to have a good singing voice when Yuma claims that they are karaoke partners
The 4th portrays Shark giving the card "Aqua Jet" to Ayu, a character from the ARC-V anime who also used an aqua deck

The younger the characters get, the funnier the villains being eldritch horrors beyond human comprehension becomes.
Tired 18 year old engineering student has to do battle with ancient space gods from beyond the stars? Pretty funny.
The personification of the unfathomable deep, the abyss beyond which any reckoning can be gleaned, the god of the toothy and alien horrors that lurk in the depths, forced to enact their will through two middle schoolers? P E A K C O M E D Y.

Zexal Month Day 24: The Star / Themes and Lore
i think it's cool when the codependent twins are hosting an ancient abyssal entity and have the potential to have the chaos spew out of their mouths once that entity is unleashed
