The "Number" cards are an expansive and unique collection of Xyz Monsters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL era. In lore, they are fragments of a celestial being's memory, which translates to a diverse series of over one hundred and sixty unique monsters spanning countless Ranks, Types, and effects. Rather than a synergistic archetype, "Number" is a broad designation that lacks a cohesive internal engine. Its power is instead unlocked through powerful, dedicated support cards and external engines�most notably the Onomat engine�designed to rapidly assemble materials for their summon.
