I personally have some mixed feelings about this episode. Last episode we saw a bit of Sora dueling Yuto before Yuya came in the duel. I was really excited for the next episode and how it would turn out. But sadly, this episode's main focus wasn't on dueling. The duel only lasts 3 turns before getting called off, and the most interesting thing was when it looked like Yuya's dragon was actually fighting Yuto's dragon. Fortunately, it's main focus is on explaining what's going on, so we can finally get some answers.
We get to find out that Sora, Yuto, and Shun are from different dimensions. I had suspicions that it was the case, but it's pretty cool to get confirmation. We also finally get answers on what Academia has done, attacking Yuto and Shun's home city and trapping many people into cards. We also get a hint on who the actual Big Bad is when they show a mysterious man who looks like the headmaster of Academia when Sora is forced back to Academia. And there's some mysterious glow that causes pain when Yuya's and Yuto's dragons meet for some reason.
A minor nitpick of mine is how the dimensions were labeled. They classify the dimensions based off the summoning techniques used there. Sora is from the fusion dimension, Sora and Shun are from the XYZ dimension, and Yuya and the rest of his friends are part of the standard dimension since they use all forms of summoning techniques. Am I the only one who thinks that's stupid? Also we get to see Yugo, the guy on the D-Wheel, with his helmet off for the first time. He apparently looks like Yuya and Yuto, hinting that there are lookalikes for everybody in the dimensions, but I just can't help but focus on how stupid his Anime Hair looks like (even for Yu-Gi-Oh standards) to notice any similarities.
This episode seems to be more focused on getting us prepped for later episodes of the series. The episode wasn't bad, but I personally can't find myself rewatching it since I now know everything it has to tell us. After that, all it has is a short unfinished duel. But it did a good job at getting me hyped and giving us answers making Yuto and Shun less mysterious and more sympathetic.
