Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal II season 3
Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal II (遊☆戯☆王ZEXAL II (セカンド), Yūgiō Zearu Sekando) is a sequel series to the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime television series Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal and the seventh anime series overall in the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise. It is produced by Nihon Ad Systems and broadcast on TV Tokyo. Like the original, this series is directed by Satoshi Kuwahara and animated by Studio Gallop. The anime aired in Japan on TV Tokyo between October 7, 2012, to March 23, 2014, in a different time slot from that of the original series, while the English-language adaptation by Konami began airing in the United States on The CW's Vortexx programming block from August 17, 2013.[1] Due to Vortexx's re-airing of Zexal II episodes and shut down in September 2014, new episodes moved to Hulu since July 14, 2014, beginning with Episode 114.[2] Since then, most of the episodes have aired on Mondays on Hulu. On December 14, the episodes on Hulu began to be uploaded on Sundays instead of Mondays, with the exception of December 6, which saw Episode 135 being uploaded on a Saturday, because the following Sunday was National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day. The regular airing pattern was broken again when the series finale (Episode 146) aired on February 21, a Saturday, instead of on a Sunday. Following the end of the first series, Yuma and his friends now find themselves up against the evil forces of Barian World.
