Yusei Fudo

Childhood:

Young Yusei, with Crow and Jack.

Added by DracoX

Yusei was born in the Tops area of New Domino City. His parents were lead developers for the Ener-D Reactor. Dr. Fudo named his son Yusei after the Planetary Particle (Yuusei Ryuushi), as he wished for Yusei to be able to connect people with bonds. As the Zero Reverse was about to take place, Yusei's father placed Yusei in an escape pod, getting him out of the vicinity before the catastrophe happened.
Yusei's parents were both killed in the Zero Reverse and Yusei was sent to an orphanage in Satellite, where he was fostered by Martha. Growing up he was interested in auto shop and Jack defended him and his friends from bullies.
Yusei grew up in Satellite, where he befriended Kalin Kessler, Jack Atlas, and Crow Hogan. As residents of Satellite, they were made to do labor for the residents of New Domino City and denied many luxuries, often enjoyed in New Domino.

The Enforcers :

Being forced to survive on what he could, Yusei developed expert dueling skills. He, along with Kalin, Jack and Crow, became part a group known as the Enforcers (Team Satisfaction in the Japanese version).

Yusei and The Enforcers.

Added by Deltaneos

Believing they could never leave Satellite, the team tried to make the most of their lives there. They began taking over various regions.
While facing another Duel Gang, one of the members tries to kill Yusei, by throwing him off the roof. Kalin catches Yusei by a Duel Disk cuff, stopping him from falling. As Kalin's platform begins to give way, Yusei tells Kalin to leave him and save himself. Kalin refuses to abandon his friend and pulls Yusei up. With that gang defeated, the Enforcers have captured all the zones in Satellite.
Sometime later, Kalin forces a kid into a Duel and assaults him after winning. The rest of the gang realize Kalin is becoming cruel and is letting the power get to his head. Crow and Jack leave the gang, but Yusei stays by Kalin's side. Sector Security later arrive in Satellite, armed with Duel Runners. Kalin decides to go up against Sector Security. Yusei leaves the team, hoping that Kalin won't go through with the fight when he's alone.

Kalin still proceeds with the fight, and the rest of the gang return to help Kalin when he is on the run. The team faced Security, in what Kalin believed to be the Enforcer's last Duel. Yusei gets in a fight with Kalin when Kalin murders a Security. Crow and Jack held Kalin in a room, while Yusei went to tell that he, himself, was the leader, in the hopes that Kalin won't get arrested. Before he could do this, the Securities found and arrested Kalin. As Kalin is dragged into a Security wagon, the officer pats Yusei on the shoulder, thanking him for assisting in the arrest. Kalin sees this and believes Yusei sold him out, but is taken away before Yusei can explain himself.

Later life in Satellite:

Yusei spends his time with Jack, Blitz, Nervin, Tank and Rally. During which, he develops impressive skills in hand-to-hand combat, engineering, computers, motorcycle riding, and comes into possession of the card "Stardust Dragon".

Yusei duels and loses to Jack. Jack tells him that he cannot win a Duel with Monsters, Spell or Trap Cards alone, only with them joined up. Jack points to his heart, saying that all he needed to amass a victory is right here. At the time, Yusei did not understand what he meant.

Yusei was able to pick up TV signals from New Domino City, allowing his friends to witness Turbo Duels. He fell out with Jack after a difference in goals, as Jack wanted power and to lead people.

Yusei constructs his first Duel Runner with help from his friends.

Added by Deltaneos

With his friends' help, Yusei was able to make his own Duel Runner. However, Jack stole the Duel Runner and "Stardust Dragon" in order to escape to New Domino City and become the "Turbo Duel King." Yusei had considered these stolen items to be "bonds of friendship" belonging to him and his friends and vowed to get them back.
Two years later, after building a new Duel Runner with the help of Rally, Blitz, Tank, and Nervin, Yusei makes plans to venture to New Domino City to recover "Stardust Dragon" from Jack.
In the process, he runs into Trudge, a Public Order Security officer, who wants to arrest Rally for stealing an acceleration chip. (in the English version, Rally was framed.) Trudge agrees to duel Yusei under the condition that if Yusei won, Trudge would forget the events of that day; if Trudge won, Yusei would give himself up to Trudge. After accepting the challenge and losing, Trudge swears to crush Yusei, but lets him go.
While the only pipeline connecting Satellite to New Domino City, which is a chute for waste, was closed for maintenance, Yusei took advantage of this to escape to New Domino. On the way, he gets chased by Trudge, who forces him into a Turbo Duel. Yusei wins one second before the hatch to New Domino started closing. Avoiding the trash flooding through the pipeline, Yusei slipped through the maintenance hatch right before it closed, leaving Trudge stuck in the pipeline now full of trash.

Arrest and the Facility:

Yusei manages to find Jack. Jack tosses "Stardust Dragon" back to him, telling Yusei he can have it. Yusei refuses and tosses "Stardust Dragon" back to Jack, saying that he would rather duel him for it to prove he can get it on his own. Jack agrees, but their Turbo Duel is interrupted by the appearance of the Crimson Dragon right before the winner is determined. The Dragon causes Jack's already permanent Birthmark (Mark of the Dragon) to glow and burn as well as revealing Yusei's Mark, the Dragon's Tail. Yusei is arrested shortly after for trespassing into New Domino while Jack leaves safely. Rex Goodwin and Lazar, who had been monitoring the Duel, reveal that if the Crimson Dragon hadn't appeared, Jack would have lost.
After his arrest, Yusei was scarred with a large mark on the left side of his face, signifying his criminal record, and was sent to the Facility, where he met Tenzen Yanagi. Yanagi informs Yusei of the Crimson Dragon and the Signers, telling him that those who have the birthmarks were chosen by the People of the Stars. Yusei's birthmark is the Crimson Dragon's Tail, which appears on his arm when he fights alongside Stardust Dragon or encounters another Signer.
Yusei meets former pro Duelist, Bolt Tanner, who imposes a Duel. Since Yusei's cards had been taken, Yanagi duels Tanner. Disgusted at Yanagi's poor dueling and his cards, Tanner stamps on the cards, despite their sentimental value to Yanagi. Yusei tosses Tanner back and challenges him to a Duel, borrowing Yanagi's Deck. Yusei defeats him without ever attacking once and Tanner offers his assistance to him.
Under Goodwin's orders, the warden Armstrong is made carry out tests on Yusei. Armstrong also has Yusei sent to a different part of the Facility.
Yusei's new cellmate Alex offers Yusei a chance to escape through a tunnel he's been working on for months. Yusei agrees to come if they can take Tanner and Yanagi too. However Armstrong has Tanner and Yanagi beaten for knowing Yusei. Yusei stands up to Mr. Armstrong, causing him to impose stricter rules. Goodwin then unexpectedly shows up, and grants Yusei freedom from the Facility - on the condition that he defeat Armstrong in a duel and come to work with him. Yusei, though feeling suspicious, accepts Goodwin's offer.
Yusei refuses to escape with Alex, as Tanner and Yanagi are unable to come too and escaping wouldn't grant true freedom. Without a Deck to use against Armstrong, the other inmates give Yusei cards to use against Armstrong.
The next day Yusei faces Armstrong, using the Deck of random cards. The Duel is setup to shock players if they suffer damage, but Armstrong rigs the arena to stop himself receiving shocks and uses surveillance cameras to see Yusei's cards. Alex, however uses his tunnel to sneak into a security room and switches Armstrong's shocks back on. Yusei defeats Armstrong and is released by Goodwin.

Yusei says goodbye to the friends he made at the Facility.

Before his release, Yanagi gives Yusei his "Totem Pole" card. Tanner gives him his "Giant Ushi Oni", instructing him to go to Bootleg, order some milk, and ask for a guy named Blister, then use the card to prove he met Tanner.
Yusei is followed by two men working for Goodwin at Bootleg, but is pulled away by Blister on his Duel Runner. Blister jams the signal emitted from Yusei's criminal mark to stop them being followed.
Despite believing it to be suicide on Yusei's part, Blister helps him in infiltrating an Impound warehouse to recover his Deck and Duel Runner.
Disguised as an electrician, under the pseudonym Yusei Adams (Taro Daimon in the Japanese version), Yusei was able to sneak into the warehouse. When he gets to the crate, where his Duel Runner is held, he is ambushed by Trudge. Yusei hops onto his Duel Runner and smashes it through the crate. Trudge forces him into another Turbo Duel. While trying to escape, Trudge closes all the security doors, making Yusei's chances of escaping very slim. However, Blister blows up the elevator door and at ground floor, Yusei rides out while Trudge gets stuck in the elevator. Soon he catches up. After Trudge starts physically attacking Yusei, Blister arrives to help, having had a change of heart over what Yusei told him about friends. Yusei wins the Duel, but is electrocuted by a huge crowd of Security and left unconscious outside at the Tops, where the richest people live. Luna feels Yusei's pain and rushes outside with Leo, only to find Yusei outside their front door unconscious.

Fortune Cup:

Yusei is later given refuge by the twins Leo and Luna. In the Japanese version, he fears that he would only cause them trouble by staying, but they manage to talk him into a Duel and staying for the night. In the English version, Yusei has lost his memory after his Duel with Trudge and can't even remember his name. He duels Leo in the hopes of regaining his memory, whilst in the Japanese version, Yusei is reminded of Rally through Leo's personalities.
After leaving the twins, he is threatened into participating in the Fortune Cup by Lazar, who holds his Satellite friends hostage. Yusei is later given more incentive to participate when Jack gives "Stardust Dragon" back and personally demands that he face him. In the quarter-finals of the Fortune Cup, Yusei faced Hunter Pace, disguised as Shira, and won, moving to the semifinals. His opponent in the semifinals is Greiger.

After Yusei defeats Greiger, Greiger attempts to take revenge on Goodwin for what he did to his village, but Yusei manages to stop him. Before security takes Greiger away, he tells Yusei to fulfill his own mission. In the English version, Yusei stops Greiger from knocking down the tower Goodwin was in to get revenge on what Goodwin did to his village, but a spike broke through the glass at the top of the tower (where Goodwin is) from the collision with Greiger's Duel Runner and Yusei's Duel Runner and Goodwin stopped it with his metal hand. As security takes Greiger away, he tells Yusei to be careful in the finals in the English version.
Yusei faces Akiza in the finals. Previously, he had thought that she only felt anger and rejection. But after Akiza's first move, he notices and points out that she has a pleasure and joy for destruction. Akiza replies that cannot be true, however, later on the duel, after people insult her again, she accepts it all because of being the "Black Rose". According to her, this other side of her is the one who enjoys destruction all because of the powers caused by the Mark of the Dragon. He learns that after she was found by Sayer, he told her to feel but not to think, to let him do that for her. But even still, she puts on her mask just to feel; this prompts Yusei to fight this duel to change her.

Yusei becomes the new King.

Added by Deltaneos

By the end of the Duel begins as he says that her pain which came from all the destruction she caused was turned into one that the other Signers shared. Yusei tells her that the birthmark may hold the answer for her pain, but in order to find out, she must think and love herself. Akiza still intends to deny this by winning the duel without noticing, as pointed out by Yusei, who has seen through her, that she is crying. Thus he eventually wins, resulting in her mask cut in half due to "Cosmic Blast" and after she falls, Akiza tells him to "help her".
He faces Jack near the end of the Fortune Cup. Although he is pushed to a corner in the middle of the Duel, Yusei wins using various combos with "Stardust Dragon" to destroy Jack's "Red Dragon Archfiend" and becomes the new King of Turbo Duels. He tends to ignore his victory however, concerned about the vision of the Spider Nazca Line which he and Jack saw during the Duel.

Dark Signers:

Following his victory against Jack, Yusei flees the stadium with Tanner, Yanagi, Luna, and Leo to avoid being mobbed by reporters and fans. They hide out at Blister's place at the edge of the city.
Yusei spots a man with a glowing birthmark. Believing him to be a Signer, Yusei chases him to a construction site where he faces him in a Shadow Duel. The opponent reveals himself to be a Shadow Drone and states their motives to destroy the Signers. After Dick loses, he has no memory of the Duel, his Deck changes, and his Mark of the Shadows disappears. Yusei runs away after Security appears to examine the damage caused by the Shadow Duel. After returning to the hideout, Security led by Trudge track him down. Yusei walks out to meet them and says he wanted to talk to Goodwin anyway (in the English version, Yusei called Trudge to take him to Goodwin).
Yusei is taken to meet Goodwin at an incomplete bridge pointing in the direction of Satellite. Here Goodwin tells him about the battle between the Crimson Dragon and the Earthbound Immortals, where the Signer Dragons sealed the Earthbound Immortals in the Nazca Lines. Goodwin says that those bearing the mark of the Crimson Dragon and the Earthbound Immortals' servants, the Signers and Dark Signers have been battling for 5,000 years. Their battle is destined to determine the fate of the world. The Original Enerdy Reactor in Satellite is a door to the Underworld itself, which the Dark Signers plan opening, to release the evil sealed in the Nazca Lines. Yusei understands Goodwin deliberately isolated Satellite from New Domino to restrict the battlefield to Satellite, only harming the Satellite residents. Yusei requests that they evacuate Satellite, but Goodwin says can't, since it would allow the Dark Signers to target the city, insuring a greater amount of casualties. Goodwin arranged a helicopter to airdrop Yusei and his Duel Runner into Satellite.

Yusei reunites with Crow.

Added by Deltaneos

After arriving in Satellite, Yusei is reunited with Crow. The two head back to Yusei's Satellite hideout, where he is reunited with Rally and the others. Security had been following Crow, so everyone splits up. Crow takes on the Security, and Yusei arrives to help, resulting in a Tag Turbo Duel. After winning the Duel Yusei and Crow meet up with Rally and his others at Crow's base at Daedalus Bridge. here Yusei tells his friends about the disastrous vision shown by the Crimson Dragon and the story told by Goodwin. He listens along with the others the story about the man who made the bridge. During the night both he and Crow had head to the B.A.D., where the Original Enerdy Reactor is. They are confronted by Kalin, who is now a Dark Signer. Kalin shows great hatred to his old friends and forces Yusei into a Shadow Turbo Duel. Kalin takes the upper hand with "Hundred-Eyes Dragon". Yusei is able to comeback with "Stardust Dragon", but Kalin turns the tables and Summons his Earthbound Immortal, "Ccapac Apu". Before Yusei is defeated his Duel Runner breaks down and the Duel is canceled. Yusei is then found impaled in the abdomen by a large shard.(In the English dub, the shard and blood was removed, despite the fact that the scene in which Rally and the others watching it was not, and he is said to have cuts and bruises.)
Crow takes him to Martha's refuge facility, in order to receive the required surgery. Dr. Schmitt, assisted by Martha manage to save Yusei's life. After waking up he sees that Rally and the others brought his Duel Runner all the way from the B.A.D. Yusei gets scolded by Martha for putting himself in danger, without asking his friends for help. She reminds Yusei of his idea of "believing in friends" as they will always be there supporting and helping him out. As he recovers, he checks his Duel Runner and thinks that Kalin is too powerful for him to defeat.
As Akiza is about to duel Misty, Yusei's mark reacts. He rushes outside and sees Hummingbird and Lizard Earthbound Immortal marks. He is aware a Duel between a Signer and Dark Signer is about to begin, but is unable to assist. After Akiza is taken to the hospital, her parents turn to Yusei for help. Yusei is initially reluctant, but prompted by Martha, who teases him, asking if he had a crush on Akiza.
When Akiza awakens, she is initially glad to see Yusei, but after seeing her parents, turns against him. Unable to calm her, Yusei tries to reach her by dueling. Yusei takes damage through the Duel, but Hideo steps in to protect him. With Hideo's determination, Yusei is able to show Akiza that her parents love her.
Mina shows Akiza and Yusei information regarding the Arcadia Movement and Sayer's true motives, involving the abduction of children to create an army of Psychic Duelists. Yusei comforts Akiza from the devastation.

The Signers are invited to Rex Goodwin's house. Despite his distrust of Goodwin, Yusei decides to go, as this is the only way he get information on the Signers and Dark Signers. Yusei asks about reverting a Dark Signer back to normal. Goodwin reluctantly tells them that Dark Signers cannot be brought back as they are dead and no longer of this world (Otherwise is said in the English dub). Yusei loses confidence in returning Kalin back to normal and blames himself for Kalin's current state. Jack, who is sickened by Yusei's whining and self-doubt, punches him in the hopes of returning some sense to Yusei. Jack's actions and words, along with some moral support from the twins, restores Yusei's confidence.
When the four Signers return to Satellite along with Mina, Leo and Trudge meet up with Martha. They learn that Rally, Blitz, Tank, Nervin and Crow have disappeared. While everyone is sitting down to supper, Roman interrupts. Jack wants to duel him, but Yusei tells him that its too dangerous to duel here with the flaming geoglyph. Yusei instructs Jack to take Martha and the kids to a safer place.
Yusei duels Roman, while accompanied by Akiza. During the Duel, he witness two of the children, who stayed behind and Martha get sacrificed to Summon Roman's Earthbound Immortal. After Yusei Summons "Stardust Dragon", Rudger leaves and revives Rally as a temporary Dark Signer to face Yusei. Rally sacrifices himself to help Yusei. To avenge Rally's sacrifice, Yusei swears the Dark Signers be defeated with everything he has.
The four Signers separate and head to each of the four control units of the Original Enerdy Reactor where their respective opponent is waiting. Yusei head's towards Kalin's tower, but spots a column of light coming from where Luna went. Yusei finds Leo dueling Devack. Yusei tries to stop the Duel, but cannot due to the natures of the Shadow Duel. Yusei is left with Trudge to watch helplessly.
He witnesses Luna come back and assist Leo, shortly after Devack Summoned "Earthbound Immortal Cusillu". Together the twins, defeat Cusillu and Devack. Afterwards Ancient Fairy Dragon and Regulus appear to thank Luna, who tells them she couldn't have done it without Leo or Yusei. Yusei and the twins proceed to the tower to activate the control unit.
When the Killer Whale geoglyph appears, Yusei finds Crow dueling against Greiger, who is now a Dark Signer. Yusei tries to talk them out of the Duel, but both feel that they are fighting for the people they love and refuse to stop.

After Crow's Duel, Yusei proceeds to Kalin's tower, intending to save him. Both engage in a Shadow Turbo Duel. Towards the end of the Duel, all of the birthmarks disappeared from the Signers' arms and then unite to form an image of the Crimson Dragon on Yusei's back. Because of this, Yusei is able to Summon "Majestic Star Dragon" and destroy Kalin's Earthbound Immortal. Yusei manages to reconcile with Kalin before the Dark Signer turns into dust.
Yusei heads to Roman to request a final Duel. During the Duel, he learns of what happened in the Original Ener-D Reactor incident and more about his father. Yusei manages to defeat Roman, but in the latter's moment of defeat, Roman triggers an explosive that destroys the bridge they were dueling on, leaving Yusei to fall into the pool of Enerdy.
Yusei ends up in a strange place, where people who died during the Zero Reverse accident reside. The souls start to attack him, but are stopped by Yusei's father. Professor Fudo helps Yusei to escape the Underworld.
Yusei and his companions go up through the same stairs they used before. In the distance, they see purple sparks and deduce that Jack has won his Duel and activated the third control unit.
Yusei goes to the last tower, where Akiza is dueling. He encounters Sayer in disguise, who lures him into a room. Inside, Mina is locked in a cage below. Sayer reveals himself and tells Yusei that Akiza is not a friend but a mind slave of his. He quickly subdues Yusei and throws him into the cage with Mina. Before leaving, Sayer seals the cage by using a "Hinotama" and fills the cage with water before leaving them to die.
After being rescued by Trudge, Yusei confronts Sayer, who by then has gained control of Akiza. They get into a fight and Sayer reveals that he was the one who killed Misty's brother, Toby. Just when Yusei was about to be blown off the building, he tricks Sayer into revealing this to Misty through his Duel Disk's microphone.

After Sayer is eaten by Misty's Earthbound Immortal, Yusei snaps Akiza out of her daze and she manages to defeat Misty. However, the sun sets before they can activate the control unit, and so the Condor geoglyph appears in the sky.
Yusei, Jack and Crow face the last Dark Signer, Rex Goodwin in a 3-on-1 Shadow Turbo Duel. Crow protects Yusei from the effect of "Earthbound Immortal Wiraqocha Rasca", and his Life Points become 1. Yusei and Jack continue the duel without Crow. After Jack is unable to duel, Yusei has his Life Points reduced to 1. The Crimson Dragon mark on Rex disappears and three of the five birthmarks return to their original owners, with the Head Birthmark instead going to Yusei and the Tail Birthmark choosing a new owner in Crow. Yusei then summons "Majestic Star Dragon" and defeats Rex. The Crimson Dragon uses "Majestic Star Dragon" to gain a physical form and destroy the King of the Underworld.

Pre-World Racing Grand Prix:

Yusei facing Machine Emperor Wisel.

Added by Yusuke89

Half a year after the Duel with Rex Goodwin, Yusei spends most of his time preparing his Duel Runner for the World Turbo Grand Prix. He assists in investigating damage caused to Duel Runners, caused by Ghost and ends up dueling Ghost. When it appeared that Yusei was beginning to have the upper hand, Ghost summons his Synchro Killer, "Machine Emperor Wisel Infinity". Utilizing "Majestic Star Dragon", Yusei was able to defeat Ghost and discovered that he was a robot. After meeting with Trudge, he explained that the robot he faced was known as a Riding Roid and that it was a test robot designed to see if they could be used in Sector Security's forces. Yusei feels that something big was coming and had to prepare for the worst.
He goes to Duel Academy and duels Heitmann, a teacher who plans to expel Leo and Luna's class because they are weak for using weak level monsters. Using some cards that the kids gave him, he wins the duel and proves that weak level monsters can overcome high level ones.
Yusei later has the misfortune of being targeted by a rival team from the Grand Prix and kidnapped. He is rescued then by Akiza and as the 2 of them escape from the truck he was trapped in, a female Turbo Duelist named Sherry LeBlanc appears. Yusei and Sherry then engage in a Turbo Duel, with Akiza witnessing as she's sitting on his Runner. Sherry offers Yusei a spot on her team for the World Grand Prix. Sherry questions him, asking him what is his purpose. The Duel finishes with no result.
Yusei then asks Jack to Turbo Duel to see if he can win without using a Synchro Summon. Jack ends the duel with no result. Later, he and the others went to the WRGP celebration, but in the middle of the celebration, a partycrasher by the name of Bokuru interrupted it. After he was stopped by Akiza's "Black Rose Dragon", Trudge sent reinforcements after him, but Primo got to him earlier. One of Security agents thought that he was Ghost, so he informed Trudge. After Yusei heard that, he quickly went to follow Ghost, but he is then challenged by the mysterious masked duelist, Dark Glass. Vizor shows Yusei how he can surpass his own limits through the use of a new method: Accel Synchro Summon. Yusei is intrigued and vows to surpass his limits, because he knows that Accel Synchro Summoning is the only way to beat "Machine Emperor Wisel Infinity".
Yusei watches Akiza during her lessons as she constantly crashes. But she improves and impresses Yusei, Luna, and Leo who are watching. Yusei shows Akiza trying to ride the Duel Runner in reverse. Akiza tries, but crashes at her attempts. After that Yusei takes her, Luna, and Leo to a rollerblading ring to show her there's no difference in skating then in Turbo Dueling. She has difficulty at first but she gets used to it. Leo and Luna wonder if this was a date. After her duel with Trudge, Yusei congratulates her and welcomes her to the world of Turbo Dueling.
After these events Leo asks Yusei to construct him a dueling skateboard so he can duel with Luciano. After a night of construction he completed the board for him. The next day Yusei notices his mark glowing, signaling him that Luna's dueling. After Luna and Leo lost their fight with Luciano he's determined to defeat Ghost and his "Machine Emperor Wisel Infinity" and learn about Accel Synchro.
Crow has always known Yusei as a man who keeps his feelings to himself rather than share them with his friends. Yusei left before Jack and Crow woke up one morning to try and match the speed of Accel Synchro. He believes that he lucked out during his Turbo Duel with Ghost and that he would've lost had the Crimson Dragon not shown up in time.
Yusei, however, could not reach that speed, and stops off at the place where Old and New Domino City began to change. Jack and Crow later find him, and he reveals his unease around Ghost. He also tells them that he suspects that Yliaster is behind everything, as Roman had told him that it was a man from Yliaster who set him down the path of becoming a Dark Signer. Furthermore, they are using the WRGP for a plan, if Sherry's story proves true. The three decide to work towards mastering Dark Glass's Accel Synchro as a means to effectively combat the new Yliaster plot and protect the city.

Yusei working on engine program with Bruno.

Mina and Trudge invite Yusei, Jack, and Crow to dinner. This is actually to get them to take in Bruno, an amnesiac with mechanical aptitude. After a mishap in which Jack believes Bruno vandalized his Duel Runner, Yusei takes up the favor and clears the misunderstanding. The two bond due to similar knowledge and make progress with developing the engine.
Later that night, while the four are asleep, someone breaks in and steals the engine program. The next morning, they try to hack into Security's database. To get in, they have to beat a simulated duel. Crow and Jack try, but both fail. Bruno steps in and easily beats the simulation. They find out that Lazar has stolen the engine program. They follow Lazar all over the mall, but then Lazar makes a hologram of himself to trick them. Jack and Crow fall for it, but Bruno sees through Lazar's plan. Bruno and Yusei follow Lazar to a factory, where Yusei and Bruno are separated. Bruno goes to call for help, while Primo traps Yusei and Lazar in a room with a Guard Robot. The Guard Robot uses a lock Deck, and knows all of Yusei's strategies. Yusei struggles to find a strategy to defeat it. Jack and Crow arrive at the factory. They find a way inside of the factory, when Primo activates the self-destruct switch, while releasing a legion of Riding Roids. Jack and Crow meet up with Bruno, where they go to the main controls to contact Yusei. They see Yusei in the duel, but can't help him. Yusei tells them to leave so they won't get caught in the eventual explosion. Bruno is reluctant to leave Yusei, but Jack and Crow convince him it's the only thing they can do. Yusei just barely manages to defeat the robot, and he and Lazar get out just in time. Lazar tells Yusei that he is dealing with enemies he can't defeat, but Yusei believes otherwise, believing he can handle it if he has his friends by his side.

Crash Town:

Yusei dueling Kalin.

Added by Blackwings0605

Later Yusei travels out far to a small western town called Crash Town where the town is a battle ground for two gangs, one side has his friend, Kalin. He observes from up on a cliff where he meets Barbara who explains the history of the city. That duel gangs duel for money, but if they lose, they become slaves. Yusei watches a duel between Kalin and a gang member, which he quickly defeats in one turn. After the duel he tries to call out to him as he is riding away, but Kalin simply rides off, paying little mind to his appearance. Yusei realizes to get to him he needs to duel him. In order to do so he confronts Malcolm, the opposing gang's leader, Kalin on their side, and convinces Malcolm to accept Yusei into their group. The next afternoon, Yusei is chosen to duel Kalin. As the duel progresses Kalin reveals that he wants Yusei to defeat him through a duel to kill him. After the duel Yusei was set to free him, but Barbara double-crosses him and stuns him with her shotgun. Yusei, Kalin, and Ramon are hauled off to the mountain shortly afterwards. While being sent to the mines Yusei manages to swipe a loose nail from their wood cuffs. While working Yusei manages to disable the electrode around his neck. He tries to convince his friend, Kalin to escape, but to no avail as guilt prevents him from running away and would rather die in the mountains. Yusei knocks out Kalin, then escapes the mine. West and Nicko bring Yusei's Duel Runner to the mountains for Yusei and Kalin to escape. Lotten and Marco's gang members find them. As Kalin, West and Nicko run away from Marco's gang members, Yusei and Lotten start their riding duel. Yusei is almost defeated as Lotten's uses effect "Gatling Ogre" which leaves Yusei with only 800 Life Points. Yusei draws "Speed Spell - Dead Synchron" and Synchro Summons "Drill Warrior" and attacks directly using effect "Drill Warrior" but Lotten uses effect "Dynamite Wall" in the graveyard and removes all cards from the field. The duel is canceled due to Kalin's interruption. Lotten uses dynamite and threw it back at Yusei and Kalin it set off and Yusei and Kalin are thrown off the mountain. They go back to the newly renamed Lotten Town and duels Lotten with Kalin to rescue West and Nicko. The duel continues, and Barbara orders for Yusei and Kalin to surrender, but was faced with resistance from the resistance, along with the arrival of Crow and Jack. Lotten tries to escape, but Yusei gives his Duel Runner to Kalin to finish the duel in one turn, which he does. With the liberation of the town, Yusei bids farewell to Kalin, who has decided to remain in newly established "Satisfaction Town".

After the events at Satisfaction Town, Yusei returned to New Domino City where he meets with Trudge and Mina to find out more about Bruno. A bomb is set off, causing everyone in the building to evacuate except for Yusei and Bruno because they got stuck in an elevator. Yusei spots Sherry and tells her to leave; she explains that she was the one who set off the bomb. She also adds that the bomb was just for show, and that there is no other one. When Sherry walks away, Yusei and Bruno begin to pursue Sherry, but Yusei gets left behind. Elsworth explains that the only way for him to get through the door was to duel and defeat him. Meanwhile, Sherry was about to analyze a card that she believes holds the truth to her past when Bruno tries to stop her. Sherry starts to retaliate, and was about to punch his face when his eyes began to glow red. He stops Sherry from punching him and he throws her across the room. Bruno was about to punch Sherry when he spots the cards Sherry wanted to analyze. His eyes return to normal and he begins to help Sherry analyze the card. Yusei wins the duel, and he and Elsworth go to tell Sherry to stop. They arrive just as Bruno and Sherry read the analysis. They are shocked to find out that the card was normal. Then suddenly, the card begins to blow up the master computer, transporting Sherry, Bruno, Yusei and Elsworth to another location. They are startled to find themselves in a big bright space with a mysterious white figure analyzing them. Then, Yusei and Bruno wake up to find themselves on the shore of New Domino City with Elsworth carrying Sherry. Then, Yusei and Bruno wonder what happened in the bright light and if Yliaster had anything to do with it.
He later appeared to help Crow work out the kinks in his Duel Runner with Bruno's help, finding a strange circuit in the process. He later watched Crow's duel against Bolger and is the first to know that he is dueling with an Anti-Blackwing Deck. While watching the duel, his birthmark, along with Crow's and Jack's, began to glow before and after Crow summons his "Black-Winged Dragon". Yusei then identified this monster as Crow's Signer Dragon.

After Team 5D's was formed, the group headed out to the practice track to get a feel for their new engines. During this practice run, Crow accidentally ran into a member of Team Unicorn and they demanded reparations. Andore, the team's ace, wanted the chance to duel Yusei. He agrees to this and starts the duel. He realizes while dueling him that he duels almost the same way as he does: analyzing every possible scenario before playing any cards and preparing for any circumstance. This didn't stop Yusei from summoning his Stardust Dragon; but just as Yusei was about to claim victory, the practice time limit ran out. Leo then after that wanted to congratulate him by saying that he was going to win but the time ran out then Yusei said to him that Andore was having a set card so that match wasn't set yet.
During the first round in the WRGP, Yusei ended up being the last duelist to face off against all of Team Unicorn due to Jack and Akiza lost to Andore. Yusei was able to claim victory over Andore, but not before he sacrificed his remaining life points to halve Yusei's. His next opponent, Breo, used a Deck destruction strategy to try and defeat Yusei. But Yusei was able to counter his Deck by using Breo's own strategy against him and summoned "Junk Destroyer". Yusei had only one opponent left to face, the leader of Team Unicorn, Jean.

After expressing his delight over facing all of Team Unicorn, the two begin the final duel of Round 1. In the end, Yusei won because of Jean's will to finish the duel "like he used to" which led him to attack Yusei's Rapid Warrior with his "Hypnocorn", but was intercepted by the effect of "Stronghold Guardian". With this, Yusei pulled off a seemingly-impossible victory and won the first match of the preliminaries.
He's celebrated their first victory with his teammates when Sherry arrived to discuss what had happened to them up until now. They discussed the events about Ghost and the Machine Emperor Monsters, Lester, what she, Yusei, and Bruno saw that day at the Sector Security's compound, and the Imposter Jack Atlas. Sherry believed that Yliaster is behind all this and that they are being targeted because they are the Signers, which everyone is shocked to hear that Sherry knows about. The next day, Yusei, Jack, and Crow decided to see how Team Unicorn is doing in their match. Once they got there, they discovered that they lost due to their Duel Runners crashing unexpectedly in their match against Team Catastrophe.
While reviewing the duel, they figured out that when ever a player crashes, they managed to had the monster "Hidden Knight -Hook-" out on the field. While deducing this, Akiza got involved in an accident similar to the one Crow was in and fell into a coma. They know that Team Catastrophe was behind this and decided to beat them fair and square in the tournament to pay them back. Yusei and the rest of Team Five D's watched Crow's duel very closely to see what is the relationship between the crashes and the monster, Hidden Knight-Hook-. They soon discovered that after its effect activated, a hooked hand appeared from the shadow of its opponent's Duel Runner and caused their wheel to lock up. Even with this deadly monster on the field, Crow managed to stay in the game long enough, despite his still wounded shoulder, to win the Duel, destroying Hidden Knight-Hook, and trading places with Jack. After the first two turns of the duel, Team 5D's managed to win the second duel due to Nicolas's Duel Runner being destroyed by his own card's effect. Both of the cards were given to Team Catastrophe by Primo, who attempts to eliminate Team 5D's from WRGP. After his plan failed, he unleashed an army of Riding Roids into New Domino City.

Because of that, Yusei and others decided to fight against Diablo army. Yusei teamed up with Sherry and Elsworth. After they defeated some of them, Primo send all Ghosts to the trio. They quickly defeated Elsworth and Sherry, leaving Yusei to fight alone. Bruno, who saw this, wanted to help Yusei. A voice in his mind reminded him of his "task"; this prompted him to get his D-Wheel and go to help Yusei. Once he got on his D-Wheel, he immediately transformed into Dark Glass and rushed to Yusei's aid. With his help, Yusei is able to escape from the Ghosts. Primo saw this; fed up, he decided to face Yusei himself. After he arrived, Bruno dueled him, while Yusei went to find the last element necessary to complete his Accel Synchro Summon. After he overcame his fear of "Machine Emperor Wisel Infinity", what is seemingly a meteorite crashes somewhere near New Domino City. Having obtained Clear Mind, Yusei (unintentionally) traveled to an alternate dimension, where a tablet stands before him. He approached it, and realized that the outline of a duel monster is etched onto it. He touched it, and is warped to the same place where he, Sherry and Bruno encountered a strange being. This "being" then gave him a blank card. After he got it, he is sent back to the desert. He put it in his Deck and he returned to city. Yusei arrived to the battle of Primo and Bruno, and Primo challenged him to a Duel. Yusei accepted it; when he did, Primo merged with his D-Wheel. Seeing this, Yusei is shocked, wondering who Primo really is.

While they were dueling, Primo used parts from "Machine Emperor Skiel Infinity" to boost the power of his Machine Emperor. This surprised Yusei; Lester, watching the duel realized that Primo borrowed the parts without asking. With these cards Primo gained an advantage. Yusei summoned "Formula Synchron" in an attempt to counter this. He tried to Accel Synchro Summon, but his confidence is shattered by Primo's remarks and he missed his chance to Accel Synchro. In a blind fit of rage Yusei attacked Wisel, but the attack was negated and Primo's monster absorbed Stardust Dragon. He eventually managed to retrieve Stardust and tried once more to Accel Synchro Summon. This time, however, with support from his friends and achieving Clear Mind, he was successful in Summoning his latest trump monster, "Shooting Star Dragon". Its effect allowed Yusei to check 5 cards from top of his Deck; during that turn, "Shooting Star Dragon" will be able to attack a number of times equal to the number of Tuner monsters revealed. With the power of the Crimson Dragon, Yusei managed to pick up 5 tuners, enabling him to attack 5 times. Primo managed to block 2 attacks, but the last 3 brought down Primo's Life points to 0. After he lost, Primo was destroyed; Jakob and Lester took his remains. They explained their purposes to Yusei, Jack and Crow, but later they were intercepted by Sherry's and Elsworth's attack. After Jacob blocked their attack, he gets the Stone Tablet of "Machine Emperor Grannel Infinity" and all of its parts. He then summoned it to showcase it to the group, and vanished with Lester and Primo's destroyed body. Yusei, Jack and Crow are left confused.
Yusei then accompanied Jack to Greiger's hometown after receiving an e-mail from him saying that Jack needed to find a new method of fighting. While Jack was absent, Yusei talked with Greiger who realized that he was used by The Crimson Devil. Later he went with Greiger and Max to temple where Jack was dueling Familiar of Red Nova. After seeing Yusei, who wanted to stop the duel, Familiar first attacked him and then he also blocked the exit preventing them from leaving. During Jack's duel, Grieger tells Yusei of the Crimson Devil, Red Nova, who was the leader of the Earthbound Immortals. He also tells Yusei of a legendary Signer that was able to control the power of the Scar Red using his Burning Soul. Yusei eventually witnesses Jack utilizing the Burning and is there to witness the appearance of Jack's new monster, Red Nova Dragon. After Jack defeats the Familiar of Red Nova, everyone is transported outside the temple where they all watch as the Crimson Dragon flies away. After they leave Grieger's home, Yusei and Jack declare that with Clear Mind and Burning Soul, they will defeat Yliaster.

Later, he went with Jack, Crow and Bruno for search of cup ramen, Jack's favorite. There they met Lazar, but before Yusei could ask him about Yliaster, he disappeared. Then Jack decided to lure him into trap, but he managed to escape one more time. Still, Yusei put a tracking device on Lazar which helped him to locate Lazar. Yusei and other found him and Crow dueled him for information about Yliaster. Lazar lost on purpose to protect his family. He then said to Yusei that he will tell him all he knows about Yliaster. During examination, Lazar was first talking about his life and cup ramen, but Sherry interrupted it. She said to him that she wants information about Yliaster. First Lazar didn't know anything, but remembered that name of company which appointed three presidents is in database of Public Security Maintenance Bureau. The database was in fact a turbo duel game in which you need to defeat Cup Ramen Man 2 times in order to get information about company which sent the Yliaster members into Public Security Maintenance Bureau. Lazar dueled first, but he lost. However, Akiza managed to defeat Cup Ramen Man using Speed World 2. Jack then dueled for a second win, but he lost because of his recklessness. Yusei said to him that his strategy wasn't wrong, but he missed the timing. Yusei then brilliantly won and with two wins, Lazar finally could enter the password. Afterward, logo of Momentum Express appeared on screen, shocking everybody.

Then, Yusei and others went to Rick, in order to find information about the Momentum Express Development Organization. He explained to them that the company makes mini momentums, which is a very important part of a duel runner. He helped Yusei, Sherry and Bruno to infiltrate the Momentum Express, who are connected to Yliaster. Soon after, they met the President of the company, Clark. Though these three are looking for information on Yliaster, it isn't easy to find and the only place left is the Matter Transport Device "Infinity". Yusei and the others snuck into the President's room, to find the key that allows access to that area. Once the key is found, Sherry and Bruno access Infinity. But to buy time for them to look into it, Yusei requests a duel against Clark. However, Clark proposes a condition on the Duel: a "Concentration Duel". At same time, Sherry found data about Yliaster and she transferred it to her memory stick. During the duel, Yusei was wondering how Clark could guess every card he chose. However, he made a comeback with his "Stardust Dragon". After the duel, Clark declared to him that he knew his and Sherry's name from the beginning. Yusei then tried to escape with Sherry and Bruno, but they got trapped inside "Infinity". From there, Clark launched them into the air in order to send them between two time periods. Shortly after that, Clark appeared on the computer screen. After Sherry asked him why Yliaster killed her parents, he answered that her father knew that "Infinity" machine will help Yliaster to change history, so they killed him. Then shuttle lost control and one hole appeared. Though Yusei tried to save her, Sherry was uprooted into wormhole. Then Yusei and Bruno appeared by some sort of island, and at same time Mr. Fudo showed to Yusei telling him that island is giant momentum that will destroy mankind. He also said to him that he will sent him and Bruno to their world. At same time Three Emperors of Yliaster decided to change history in order to destroy Momentum express and Clark, and in same time become team in WRGP. Team Ragnarok who traveled by plane, was aware of this, but their wasn't affected due to their cards, Three Polar Gods. Shortly after, Yusei and Bruno came to others, and they quickly went to Momentum Express building, which disappeared. They later learned that Team New World is in fact Three Emperors of Yliaster. Yusei then understood that they got up to finals instead Sherry's and Elsworth's team. Then Trudge and Mina appeared saying that WRGP will be closed without Director. Hearing that, Lazar decided to show up and become director in order to tournament continue. Later, Yusei watched the sunset, wondering why he saw a vision of his father near the Momentum in the other reality. He thought about the other time he saw his father in a vision, in the old Momentum after defeating Roman Goodwin, coming to a sudden realization of what possibly may have happened to Dr. Fudo.

After some time, Yusei is seen training with Jack and Crow. Knowing that they must defeat Team New World, they decided to train even harder. At the same time, Leo met Team Taiyo, and they become friends. After Leo saw that their only Duel Runner is destroyed, he brought Yusei and Bruno to fix it. In the beginning, Team Taiyo were reluctant to their help, but they allowed them to fix it. Yusei told them that he also made his Duel Runner from junk, which surprised them. One of the members wanted to Yusei to sign Team Taiyo's Deck, but another stopped him. Still, Yusei saw that all monsters in the Deck were Normal Monsters. After Yusei and Bruno fixed their Duel Runner, they went with Jack, Crow and Akiza to the stage where the final matches were going to be displayed. They found out that their match is against Team Taiyo, surprising all of them.

Yusei vs Taro.

Added by Blackwings0605

During the duel, Yusei understood that Team Taiyo strategy is to summon "Sleeping Giant Thud", a monster that was never summoned in any duel. However, Crow failed to destroy "Key Mace", so Taro could summon his "Sleeping Giant Thud". Yusei as a last wheeler of Team Five D's, summoned "Stardust Dragon" in his first turn. However, Taro used his traps and "Speed World 2" to deplete Yusei's life points. After Taro declared final attack which would bring him victory, Accel Synchro Summoned his "Shooting Star Dragon". With it, Yusei successfully stopped Taro's attack. Still, Taro would win using "Speed World 2" on his next turn. However, Yusei, believing in his Deck, drew "Earthquake Giant". Because it has same level as Crow's "Blackwing - Bora the Sharp", Yusei discarded it to use Jack's "Monster Baton". Using combined power of his friends, Yusei won the duel and Team Five D's won the match.
After some time, Yusei, Jack and Crow met Team Ragnarok. Leader of the team, Harald, explained to them how they got Polar Gods. After Yusei asked to combine their strength with them, Harald refused, saying that Yusei's father made Zero Reverse and they believe Yusei might be trying to continue the destruction his father left behind. Harald challenged Team Five D's tomorrow, saying that team who win will have right to duel Team New World in the final. Yusei accepted, saying that he and his friends cannot afford to lose.

Yusei enters the final stretch of Team Five D's match against Team Ragnarok against Harald. Even though Jack and Crow manage to defeat their opponents, Dragan and Brave, their ace cards, "Thor, Lord of the Aesir" and "Loki, Lord of the Aesir" remain on the field due to their ability to Special Summon from the Graveyard. In his first turn, Harald Synchro Summons "Odin, Father of the Aesir" and starts a powerful assault on Yusei. Due to effect of "Odin", Yusei's Spell and Traps had no effect on the Aesirs. After remaining in a defensive position for much of the duel, Yusei manages to begin a counterattack. With an incredible combo, Yusei manages to bring out "Stardust Dragon" and soon after "Majestic Star Dragon". However, because of "Majestic Star Dragon's" effect that returns it to the Extra Deck at the end phase, Yusei needed to pay his Life Points to keep it on the field with "Stay Force". Unfortunately against three gods with unparalleled strength, even "Majestic Star Dragon" was eventually overwhelmed, once again forcing Yusei into a tight spot against Harald. However, after dramatical defense of "Stardust Dragon", Yusei managed to perform an Accel Synchro Summon of "Shooting Star Dragon". Thanks to his powerful combo, Yusei managed to remove the Polar Gods from play, preventing them to return to the field. In the next turn, Yusei declared a final attack with "Shooting Star Dragon", winning the duel. With that win, Team Five D's won the match and proceeded to the finale.
During the duel between Team 5D's and Team New World, Yusei watches the first two duels and feels that both duelists held back considerably. It wasn't until near the end of Jack's duel with Primo that he figured that their strategy was to get Jakob out their and somehow using the "Infinite Spirit Machine" card to his advantage. He has Jack try to destroy it, but Primo managed to keep the card on the field before he lost. With Jakob dueling, Yusei knew that Jack wouldn't last too long. He watched as Jack was defeated easily with "Machine Emperor Grannel" and its abilities. With "Red Nova Dragon" now absorbed, and Jakob having 12,000 life points, Yusei could only watch as Crow began his duel with Jakob only to lose to Jakob's superior monster and tactics. However, Crow was able to use the last of his strength to summon his "Black-Winged Dragon" so Yusei could stand a chance against Jakob. In his Duel with Jakob, "Black-Winged Dragon" was destroyed fast. However this was Team 5D's' plan. Yusei activated the Facedown Card Crow gave him, "Shadow Impulse", and Special Summoned "Stardust Dragon" with 0 ATK and it's effect negated. At this point, Jakob, Primo and Lester showed Team 5D's the future thanks to Synchro Summoning. Everyone is shocked, but Yusei decides to continue the Duel. Yusei manages to Accel Synchro Summon "Shooting Star Dragon", and with it's effect, he draws 5 Tuner Monsters. "Shooting Star Dragon" can attack 5 times, and thanks to that, he manages to beat the absorbed "Red Nova Dragon" and "Machine Emperor Grannel". After that, Lester, Primo and Jakob fuse together to form Aporia. Aporia begins his brutal assualt by summoning "Machine Divine Emperor Machinicle Infinity Cubic" causing lighting strikes all over the city and leading to a deadly cat and mouse chase when the duel lane gets destroyed. After losing Shooting Star Dragon, Yusei barely saves himself and a child with "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow", but successfully recovering it with its effects negated. However, Yusei needs the help from his friends Jack and Crow to have a chance against Aporia. Thanks to genius playing, Yusei Special Summons "Red Nova Dragon" and "Black-Winged Dragon" out of his Graveyard. Aporia absorbs the 2 Monsters with his "Machine Divine Emperor Machinecle Infinity Cubic", but Yusei is prepared. He uses the effect of "Guard Master" to negate Aporia's attack and after that he manages to send all 3 Synchro Monsters to the Graveyard. Not long after that he Special Summons them from his Graveyard again. In the same turn he uses "Black-Winged Dragon"'s effect to decrease the ATK of "Machine Divine Emperor Machinecle Infinity Cubic". After that, he defeats Aporia by attacking the Machine Emperor three times with Crow's "Black-Winged Dragon", Jack's "Red Nova Dragon", and his own "Shooting Star Dragon". With this, the WRGP is finished with Team 5D's as the winner after a long tournament. Despite defeating Aporia, the Ark Cradle still appears in the city and after learning that it is, in fact, Neo Domino City, Yusei decides to go there. At that moment, Sherry warns him that he will die if he goes there.

3D Bonds Beyond Time

 

Yusei with Yugi and Jaden.

Added by Helliar

Yusei appears in Yu-Gi-Oh! 3D Bonds Beyond Time, where he joins forces with Yugi Muto and Jaden Yuki to face off against Paradox, a Turbo Duelist who can travel through time, and to save "Stardust Dragon", who was stolen.
While Yusei is riding with Jack Atlas and Crow Hogan, he is suddenly challenged to a Turbo Duel by Paradox. Yusei quickly Summons "Stardust Dragon" by tuning his Junk Synchron with Junk Warrior. Paradox, however, has been waiting for this, as he uses his powers to capture "Stardust Dragon" and turn him to a "Malefic" monster. Paradox bids Yusei farewell & tells him to perish along with his era, as he disappears into the past.
Yusei, Jack and Crow look through the archives to find where Paradox disappeared to, until they find a record of "Stardust Dragon" attacking a duelist named Jaden Yuki in Venice. Bringing all of the Signers together, they summon the Crimson Dragon, who opens a hole in time into the past. Yusei then follows the dragon into the past to Jaden's time.
The Crimson Dragon intercepts "Stardust Dragon"'s attack at Jaden and "Elemental Hero Neos", disappearing in the process. Paradox is confused by Yusei's appearance in the past, as Yusei looks at "Stardust Dragon" before Paradox takes his leave. Jaden, glad to have survived, tells Yusei what Paradox's true intentions are to kill Maximillion Pegasus, thus preventing the creation of Duel Monsters to change the future.
Using Jaden's powers, the two travel to the time of Yugi Muto, only to find Paradox attacking an event where Pegasus was giving away cards to young children. Paradox attacked the crowd with Cyber End Dragon, killing almost everybody, including Pegasus, and Yugi's grandfather, Solomon Muto. Yugi was the only survivor amongst the ruins, as he mourned over his grandfather's death. Yusei and Jaden confront Yugi and ask for his help against Paradox. Yugi agrees to help.
The three travel 30 minutes back in time. Paradox arrived at the event again, but this time, was confronted by Yusei, Jaden, and Yugi. Although they tried to persuade him to stop, Paradox refuses to do so, and a 3-on-1 Duel begins with Yugi, Jaden and Yusei sharing 4000 Life Points.
Yusei shows his skills as a Synchro duelist by Summoning "Junk Gardna". However, after Yugi manages to rescue "Stardust Dragon" and destroy Paradox's "Malefic Paradox Dragon", Paradox Special Summons his most powerful card, "Malefic Truth Dragon". He then fuses himself with the dragon, and destroys all of Yusei, Jaden and Yugi's monsters on the field. Yusei loses hope and prepares to surrender, until Yami Yugi and Jaden manage to convince him to keep fighting until the end. With new hope, Yusei manages to re-Summon the monsters Paradox destroyed in his last turn and gets a power boost from trap cards played by Yami Yugi and Jaden, increasing "Stardust Dragon's" ATK to 10000, allowing him to destroy "Malefic Truth Dragon" and defeat Paradox.
With Paradox defeated, all the damage he caused is repaired. Yusei bids farewell to Yugi and Jaden, before returning to his own timeline, where his friends await. Yusei vows to protect the future so he can meet Yugi and Jaden again.
