* RealityEnsues: Edo finds an Action card... that is completely useless for saving him from losing. Well, what do you expect when you rely on the luck of finding Action cards all the time? Sooner or later it won't pan out.

* ThreeDEffectsTwoDCartoon: Deliberately invoked for Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon's summoning - Dark Rebellion begins to become distorted into a polygonal version of itself, as if the Solid Vision was glitching out, and this distorted dragon shatters to reveal Dark Requiem underneath.

* RuleOfSymbolism: Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon represents the Naraka Realm, a place where souls are sent for the expiation of their sins. Yama, "King of Hell", sentences the spirits of the dead to their appropriate punishment. After the period of punishment is complete, they are reborn on Earth in human or animal bodies. Yuto's summoning chant for Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon does make sense, since the Naraka Realm is usually referred to in English as "hell realm", or "purgatory realm".

Yuto explores the ruins of a duel school while arguing with Yuto. He insists his father would not have abandoned the Xyz Dimension, and thinks Yuto met him, but Yuto denies this, saying that "duel with smiles" were what Ruri said to him before she was captured by Academia. Yuya retrieves Yuto's old deck from the school, and speculates on why he can now speak with Yuto. Yuto brings up the duel with Barret, where the Four Dimension Dragons resonated with each other, and thinks that may have awakened him. Outside, Yuya is accosted by a cloaked figure who asks what he is doing there. When Yuya explains he is looking for his father, Sakaki Yusho, the figure grows angry and unveils an Academia Duel Disk, declaring he will duel Yuya to use him as bait to lure out Yusho. Yuya slaps on his Duel Disk and the duel begins.

The figure ends his turn by activating the Continuous Trap "D-Death Match." This lets him compare the levels of the monsters they control each turn, and if his total is greater, he can increase his monster's ATK by 100 damage times the difference and inflict the same amount as damage. Since Yuya only controls Xyz Monsters that have no level, Dystopiaguy gains 800 ATK. Since its ATK changes, Dystopiaguy's effect activates, destroying one card on the field; Seal Eel is destroyed. The second effect of D-Death Match to deal 800 damage activates, but Yuya finds the Action card "Acceleration," negating the effect damage. Yuto, enraged at the thought of the other Resistance members being hunted by such tactics, takes over Yuya's body again.

Yuto overlays his two monsters to summon "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" and activates its effect twice, sapping Dystopiaguy to 700 ATK and raising Dark Rebellion to 4800 ATK. Dark Rebellion attacks and takes the figure to 100 Life Points, but due to the effect of "D-Fusion," the Fusion Summoned monster can't be destroyed this turn. Yuto ends his turn and returns Yuya's body to him. The cloaked figure takes his turn and attacks Dark Rebellion with Dystopia guy, taking Yuya to 2100 Life Points. Yuya activates the effect of his other Pendulum Monster, "Entermate Chain Giraffe," destroying it to revive Dark Rebellion. In response the figure activates "D-Devil Dance," banishing a Drillguy from his Graveyard to reduce Dark Rebellion's ATK by Drillguy's ATK, since the former was Special Summoned during the Battle Phase. By this effect, Dystopiaguy can attack twice this turn. The effect of Chain Giraffe prevents Dark Rebellion from being destroyed, but Yuya takes damage and falls to 200 Life Points.

Yuto draws and activates "Rank-Up Magic Phantom Knights Launch," ranking up Dark Rebellion into the Rank 5 "Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon" and attacking Dark Rebellion and Launch to it as its Xyz Materials. Yuto detaches one Xyz Material from Dark Requiem to activate its effect, sapping the ATK of Dystopiaguy to 0 and increasing Dark Requiem's ATK by the same; it grows to 6200 ATK. The figure activates Dystopiaguy's effect since its ATK changed, but Yuto chains the second effect of Dark Requiem, detaching an Xyz Material to negate the effect, then summoning Dark Rebellion from the Graveyard. Yuto attacks Dystopiaguy with Dark Requiem. The figure finds the Action card "Miracle" but throws it away since it won't save him, and instead activates "Destiny Hero Dynamite Guy" from his hand, negating the Battle Damage and dealing 1000 damage to both players. The duel ends in a draw.

On the other hand, while Yuya continues to search for Yusho’s whereabouts, a mysterious boy challenges him to a Duel. The boy bears a deep-seated hatred toward Yusho, and unleashes a brutal attack against his son, Yuya…
