Watch Battle Spirits Ultimate Zero. This isn't a request. This is a DEMAND. Because this is one of the finest looking and animated shows I've ever watched, even outside of card game anime. And the best part is it's also a really great show. Tetsuya Ishikawa is a god. No other way to put it, this is an absolutely gorgeous show. The prettiest AND coolest outer space western adventure. Rei is a great lead and they do everything to sell you on the new card type and mechanic of Ultimates, and I'm sold. I mean, how many male main characters do you know have elaboratetransformation sequences like from a magical girl anime? To play card games? And he had a little dragon sidekick? And all they eat is pizza and cola? This is an Ultimate experience of a show. This is a childs dream come to life.

There's this very big made up myth in card game anime sphere about "the character HAS to lose, and thus get development". And that's like really silly when you think about like Yugi and Jaden.
And it's especially extremely silly with Rei. I think people have forgotten how to be cool, and that's simply why people spout random writing things like it's gospel. Cause if you're cool like Rei the Number One Star who will find the Ultimate Battle Spirits, who travels in pastel space with very geometric stars, what makes you think the bad guys are ever going to win against a henshining hero.

Just watch it, you won't regret it.
