Photon Hand (フォトンハンド Foton Hando) is a method of taking "Number" monsters from their owners. It is technological in origin and provided to Kite Tenjo by Dr. Faker. It lets the person obtain a "Number" card from a defeated opponent, similar to the way in which Astral does it, but through an abhorrent process: stealing the opponent's soul. When someone uses Photon Hand, an illuminated hand and arm forms, stretching out and entering the fallen foe. The hand takes away the victim's soul, ages them considerably and leaves them catatonic. Then the user can extract the "Numbers" attached to that soul. Kite was told by Mr. Heartland that all "Number" holders are evil, so stealing their souls does not matter (In the dub, he claims that it just makes them grow old sooner). Photon Hand does not work
