Lancers The Lancers ( ランサーズ " Ransāzu " ) , short for Lance Defence Soldiers ( ランス ・ ディフェンス ・ ソルジャーズ " Ransu Difensu Sorujāzu " ) , are an organization of Duelist s affiliated with the Standard Dimension that were organized by Declan Akaba in order to fight against invaders from other dimensions . Biography . Past . One night at Leo Corporation , Declan asked Yusho to lead the Lancers and help him stop Leo Akaba ' s ambition after investigating the research his father left behind . However , Yusho never returned due to using Declan ' s Interdimensional Travel Device to get to Duel Academy in order talk to Leo . Pre - Arc League Championship . Declan used a database of Duelists called the Lancers Selection to narrow down his candidates for inclusion in the group . Arc League Championship . The Arc League Championship then became a proving ground for the formation of the group . When the top eight Duelists in the tournament ' s Senior Division were determined , Declan inducted them into the Lancers . Knowing an attack from the Fusion Dimension was coming , Declan dispatched those eight Duelists to confront Obelisk Force when they arrived to capture Celina and interfere in the Battle Royal of the Junior Youth Division . Six members of Obelisk Force were confronted by these eight Duelists , led by Kev Ravenwood . However , all of them were swiftly taken down except for Kev , who was saved by Yugo . According to Declan , the current Lancers lack the strength to combat Duel Academy . Since the discovery of Pendulum Summon , Dueling evolved to a new era , which Declan dubs " Yuya Sakaki ' s generation " . He plans for this new generation to master Pendulum Summon to combat the invaders more efficiently . Friendship Cup . When the Battle Royal ended , Declan appeared before the survivors and explained his plan and the overall situation . Yuya , who disagreed with Declan ' s means of dealing with the invaders , refused to join the Lancers and attempted to attack Declan . Declan suggested they settle it with a Duel instead . Declan won the Duel , and concluded that Yuya was too naive . He maintained his hopes for Yuya , however , and declared that the Lancers would soon travel across Dimensions . Later , Declan and Henrietta canceled the Arc League Championship to reveal the Lancers ' existence to the world as well as their recent victory against the invaders . The Lancers were acclaimed as heroes by the world , and Declan declared that LID would switch all of its efforts to training Duelists to become potential Lancers . After Yuya ' s Duel with his mother , he and Gong were called by Leo Corporation . When they arrived , they saw the other Lancers gathered inside . Declan announced that they were having a new member , Riley . Sylvio and Shay were both skeptical about Riley being be a threat to their plans , since he was a child and must always be protected . Declan responded that Riley ' s ability was almost " equivalent " to the Lancers . Then , after learning that Zuzu was in the Synchro Dimension , Dennis expressed surprise that she survived . Declan also announced that they were going to the Synchro Dimension to make an alliance with it , as that dimension has never been into wars . Declan said that the Lancers ' Duel Disks were now modified to be able to travel between dimensions and activate Action Field Spell Cards and Action Cards , which were the strongest weapons . The Lancers then left the Standard Dimension with their " Dimensionizer " cards and traveled to the Synchro Dimension . Sometime before their departure to the Synchro Dimension , Declan created and distributed Pendulum Monster s to the Lancers that fitted their specific Decks . These were at least distributed to Dennis , Celina , and Gong who didn ' t own Deck - specific Pendulum cards before . Upon arriving at the Synchro Dimension the Lancers were split . Yuya , Celina , Sylvio , and Riley were ambushed and almost arrested by Sector Security because they mistook Yuya and Celina for Yugo and Zuzu , respectively . Celina and Sylvio immediately joined the Duels Sector Security forced them into , despite Yuya ' s protests . Sylvio lost and was held in custody by the officers , while Celina won her Duel . In his Duel , Yuya indirectly tipped the Sector Security officers to the use of Action Cards , which frustrated Sylvio , who then clarified the mechanic to them . Before Yuya ' s Duel could continue , Crow Hogan and a group of Turbo Duelists rescued the Lancers from Sector Security ' s clutches . Gong and Dennis attempted to find the others until they ended up Dueling each other and were approached by Lucas Swank . Lucas took them to an Underground Dueling Arena where they found Shay Dueling and subsequently defeating Hunter Pace . Shay told his fellow Lancers that he was doing underground Duels so he could recruit more Lancers . Lucas was surprised that Shay knew both Dennis and Gong , so he decided to pair Shay and Dennis up for a Duel , as he had a good feeling about the latter . As Shay was the current champion , he was given a 1000 LP handicap , while Dennis was given the default 4000 . Meanwhile , Celina grew impatient with Crow ' s lack of news about Zuzu and Yugo and left the hideout with Sylvio to search for them , ignoring Yuya ' s and Crow ' s warnings . On Jean - Michel Roget ' s orders , Shay , Dennis , Gong and everybody else in the Dueling Arena , except Lucas , were arrested mid - Duel . At that time , Sector Security had followed Sylvio and Celina back to Crow ' s hideout , where they sprang and arrested the Lancers and Crow , safe for Riley , who was rescued by Moon Shadow . After a few days at the Facility the Lancers , Crow ' s gang and their new ally Chojiro Tokumatsu attempted a prison break , but failed due to Roget ' s interference . However , the High Council intervened , agreeing with Declan to have the Lancers join the Friendship Cup to prove their skills and earn their trust . The first day of the tournament resulted with two losses and one victory for the Lancers . However Moon Shadow ' s loss was intentional , and the High Council decided to count Zuzu ' s victory as a point for the Lancers as she also comes from Standard Dimension , leaving the record as two wins and two losses . Moon Shadow ' s intentional loss was revealed to be to allow him out of the participants ' penthouse and gather information for Declan , as his agility would effectively allow him to escape from the Underground Labor Facility at will and inform Declan . Information obtained this way included the rumors that Roget was from another world . The other defeated Lancers in the underground started a Dueling campaign for Lucas , their sole chance to get back to the surface . The second day featured Celina and Yuya defeating the Synchro Dimension residents Tony Zomboni and Roget ' s agent Officer 227 , two wins in the Lancers ' favor . Against their favor was Sylvio ' s loss to Yugo , which was followed the disastrous Duel between Lancers Shay and Dennis , revealing the latter ' s identity as a spy from Duel Academy , sent to keep an eye on Celina . These events left the Lancers with a member less and increased Shay ' s wariness regarding his newfound allies . Friendship Cup Finals . After Dennis and Shay ' s Duel , Jean - Michel Roget overthrew the High Council , sealing their authority by perfecting his control over Sector Security officers using mind - controlling chips implanted in them . The Lancers no longer had to prove themselves to the Council and became part of Roget ' s schemes in expanding his influence over New Domino City . Roget gained an interest in both Yuya and Celina . Celina would become an idol for the Tops and Commons alike , while Yuya would serve the same role as Sergey Volkov : defeating Jack Atlas and vesting a King that served Roget , a role Roget went on to force Yuya into the same way he did with Sergey . Sealing the Council away effectively sealed Declan and Riley , who were with the Council during the Cup , preventing Declan from exerting any leadership over the Lancers via Moon Shadow . When Roget ' s Sector Security officers were distracted watching the conclusion of Yugo and Celina ' s Duel , Declan seized the opportunity and challenged and defeated the Security officers holding him , Riley and the Council . Riley hurried to the Underground ' s entrance and saved Celina from Security . This infuriated Roget , who saw his schemes being destabilized and his hatred for the Lancers deepened . Right after Celina ' s rescue , Roget scheduled Yuya and Crow ' s Duel in order to distract everyone in the stadium to insure no one else interferes with his plan . To ensure Yuya won his Duel and gained the attention of the crowd as well , Roget put a chip in Yuya ' s helmet to force his awakening during the Duel . This succeeded and awakened Yuya ' s shared personality with his dimensional counterparts making him fight Crow aggressively . During this Duel the Obelisk Force arrived in the Synchro Dimension . Crow managed to destroy Yuya ' s " Odd - Eyes Rebellion Dragon " but was still defeated in the process after Sora informed Crow of the situation . After coming to his senses and hearing of the Obelisk Force ' s arrival , Yuya headed into New Domino City . Meanwhile , Moon Shadow headed to the Underground Labor Facility to free the rest of the Lancers while Riley stayed behind to protect Celina , who eventually started to get overwhelmed by the seemingly unending waves of Duel Soldiers coming for Celina . Yuya arrived to assist , but was intercepted by Barrett . Moon Shadow managed to free the Lancers , inspiring the Commons to break out with them . As Yuya struggled against Barrett , Sora , Yuri , more Obelisk Force soldiers and Yugo arrived in rapid succession . Yuya and his counterparts then entered a synchronized awakening caused by the Four Dimension Dragons , only breaking when Zuzu arrived . Sergey arrived and , profiting from the occasion , defeated Barrett . Nevertheless , Barrett managed to take Celina back with him . Sergey then defeated Yuya himself and took Zuzu back to Roget . Moon Shadow and Sora leaved the former battlefield in the morning to try and save Zuzu from Sector Security . The other Lancers then watched Jack Atlas ' ensuing Duel with Sergey Volkov from different locations in New Domino City . After Jack ' s victory , Sam approached Yuya and Gong with a message from Jack , prompting Yuya to head for the Duel Palace . In the meantime , Sylvio , Shay , Riley and Chojiro attempted to rescue the trapped Declan . Just as they attempted to , Declan arrived outside himself . Getting him out swiftly , they helped Yuya and Gong enter the Duel Palace , by flying in with Shay ' s " Raidraptor s " . Sylvio threw Melissa ' s microphone to Yuya , who used it to challenge Jack to a Duel . The Lancers , except for Moon Shadow , then proceeded to watch Yuya and Jack ' s ensuing Duel . When the riots in New Domino City became more intense and hateful , they headed into New Domino City to intervene , but by attempting to stop both parties rather than choosing a side . Gong and Sylvio moved towards the Commons , Shay headed towards Crow and Shinji ' s confrontation while Declan and Riley followed Sora and Moon Shadow ' s lead into the Sector Security building . When the clashing parties were united in pleasure watching the climax of Yuya and Jack ' s Duel , Gong and Sylvio took the lead cheering with the parties present . In the meantime , Declan found Moon Shadow in the Sector Security building , who had been defeated by Roget along with Sora . Declan followed Roget and was locked into a room with him . The other Lancers , along with Jack and Crow , rushed there after an alert sent out by Sora . The other Lancers and Sora eventually got inside , where Declan then set up a combo to block Roget ' s cheating ways . Following him while he escaped with Zuzu , Roget eventually broke down mentally and opened a wormhole . After getting sucked in himself and it also sucked in Zuzu sending her to an unknown dimension . Yuya , Sylvio , Gong , and Shay tried rescue her but was pulled into the wormhole , sending them to the Xyz Dimension ' s Heartland while the others were left wondering what happened , dividing the Lancers further . Heartland City . In the Xyz Dimension , Shay immediately left the other three to check on The Resistance , which seemed defeated . The other three met a surviving family . When threatened by three Duel Academy students hunting down survivors , the three demonstrated how fun Dueling could be with Pendulum Summon and " Smile World " , rather than the warfare Duel Academy showed them . While Gong stopped Sylvio from using their own Duel Disks to seal Duel Academy students into cards , the trio fled , but were instead " carded " by Kite Tenjo . The trio wondered if Kite was a surviving member of The Resistance , but the latter was not prepared to talk with them before Dueling . Sylvio quickly challenged Kite , only to be followed by Gong who attempted to prevent them from attacking each other . Kite would not listen to Gong ' s attempted reasoning , however , declaring their Action Duel , Action Card , Synchro and Pendulum Summon made the three Lancers extradimensional invaders . Sylvio attempted to prevent Kite from summoning the dragon they had seen moments before , but eventually Kite was able to summon " Galaxy - Eyes Cipher Dragon " , which swiftly defeated the two . Kite then turned to Yuya for a Duel . When Yuya ' s attempts to make Kite smile through his Dueling failed , Yuto advised him to activate " Odd - Eyes Rebellion Dragon ' s " effect , allowing him to summon " Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon " . Kite recognizes the monster as Yuto ' s , finally noticing that he and Yuya look alike . At this time , Shay , accompanied by Sayaka Sasayama and Allen Kozuki , come in , where he tells Kite that Yuya is his comrade . Kite is asked to rejoin the Resistance , but he refused and activates a spell card to blind everyone in the area and escaped . They returned to the Resistance ' s new hideout and learned that they nearly destroyed , Kite ' s family , after Yuto and Shay left for the Standard Dimension . They also learned that Yusho Sakaki was in the Xyz Dimension but disappeared during the invasion . Yuya then went to the Spade Branch and discussed the unknown darkness with Yuto before confronting an unknown Duelist who ' s after Yusho . Yuya tried to get more info from the Duelist but Yuto possessed him and forced the Duel into a DRAW . They did however , learned that the Duelist is the Commander - in - Chief of Duel Academy . Meanwhile , Shay tried to get Kite join them again but he still refuses and a Duel starts between them . During the Duel , Yuya returned to try to stop them and revealed to everyone that Yuto was inside of him . Shay tried to show Kite the value of comrades by using Action Cards , saying they represent his new comrades . However , when Shay ' s attack failed , Kite claimed that his comrades will fail too and defeats Shay . Before Kite could seal Shay away , he stopped after hearing Sayaka ' s plea and left . The Lancers were then caught up in another Duel against the Tyler sisters , who proceeded to defeat Allen , Sayaka , Sylvio , and Gong . Yuya and Shay then took them on and managed to defeat them with Yuya ' s Dueltaining . However , the Obelisk Force arrived and Shay is during the Duel against them while protecting Sayaka . Before they could defeat Yuya , Kite arrived to save Yuya and defeated the Obelisk Force . However while checking on Shay , the Commander - in - Chief showed up with a squad of Duel Academy students and declared that he would defeat Yuya . Before the Lancers and Resistance could escape with an injured Shay , Yuya is forced into a Duel by the Commander - in - Chief who introduced himself as Aster Phoenix . Meanwhile , Deputy Commander Mamoru Noro sent in Aster ' s squad to finish off the Lancers and Resistance , but they were defeated by Kite ' s five " Cipher Dragon ' s " . Both groups escape with Shay while Yuya Dueled Aster . Yuya continued to try and convince Aster to understand him through Dueling but he refused . Yuto told Yuya that his voice won ' t reach Aster since he only believes in Duel Academy ' s teachings . Yuya told Aster that his heart was wavering like his pendulum between Leo ' s and Yusho ' s philosophies , especially when told Aster that if Duel Academy smiled he would forgive them . Yuya proceeded to defeat with " Brave - Eyes Pendulum Dragon " and make him smile again , however they were surrounded by Duel Academy students called in by Mamoru . Before they were about to be attacked , Aster defended Yuya as he declared his treachery against the Professor and convinced the students , Gloria , and Grace to stand down and atone for their crimes . Although Mamoru refused until Kite and Allen returned with the Resistance . While most members of both groups were unsure to trust Aster , Kite felt his sincerity to help them and atone for his sin . When he decided to the same , Yuya and Yuto assured Kite that he showed the same bravery by admitting his own mistakes and enduring the pain of losing his family and friends . They then decided to go to the Fusion Dimension after Aster revealed there was a way to restore the people who had been sealed into cards . However , Shay had to be left behind , being placed in a healing capsule until he recovered . The Lancers and Kite then went to Duel Academy ' s base in Heartland and used the Interdimensional Travel Device . Upon arriving in the Fusion Dimension , they found Zuzu cornered by Duel Academy soldiers . When Yuya tried to approach Zuzu , he knocked to the ground by Iggy Arlo who accepted Dennis ' deal to come to the Fusion Dimension for revenge . Meanwhile Gong , Sylvio , and Zuzu are surrounded by Duel Academy soldiers while Kite chased after Dennis . Yuya accepted Iggy ' s challenge while trying to fix what he done to Iggy during the Arc League Championship . However , Iggy used the effects of his monsters to weaken Yuya ' s while strengthen his own . However , Yuya managed to turn the Duel around with the Rollerboots he received from Allen to grab action cards and defeat Iggy with " Acrobat Tower " . However , this time he was able to change Iggy . When Yuya , Zuzu , Gong , and Sylvio couldn ' t find a boat to catch up with Yusho , Celina appeared before them with help . She took them to a pirate ship owned by Captain Cutter , who ' ll take them to Duel Academy . But during the sail , more Duel Academy soldiers arrived and Celina betrayed the Lancers by taking Zuzu hostage . Also , Cutter forced Yuya into a Duel , revealing to be from Duel Academy as well . During their Duel , Cutter got the advantage over Yuya and caused him to go overboard until Crow saved him . Sora then joined the Duel and helped Yuya defeat Cutter , leaving him stranded at sea . Both groups of Lancers reunited with Crow and Sora as members and prepared to go to Duel Academy . As the Lancers continued their journey to Duel Academy , Yuya discussed about Zuzu , Celina , Lulu , and Rin , and asked Sora why does the Professor wants them . Sora suggested that they might be connected to the Arc Area Project and Gong deduced that if they rescued the girls first , the Project would be stopped . Yuya also told Declan that his father is heading toward Duel Academy to convince the Professor and they were trying to go after him . Surprised , Declan would then reveal to everyone how he secretly went to Duel Academy three years ago and had asked Yusho for help after learning about his father ' s plan . However , Yusho used his Interdimensional Travel Device without telling anybody and disappeared . He also met Celina and after meeting Yuya and Zuzu three years later , a memory resurfaced from Leo ' s research : Revival Zero . In it contained a file with two people , Celina and Yuri , who resembled Yuya . He told Yuya that his theory about the Four Dimensions and four girls connected to the Arc Area Project was probably correct , and he deduced that Revival Zero was another part of Leo ' s plan and that Yuya was probably involved due to Yuri ' s involvement . Declan told the Lancers to believe in their friends ' strength and fight to the very end . After arriving on the island , they prepared to climb the mountain to charge into the Professor ' s lab . After climbing up the mountain , they were surrounded by Duel Academy students before utilizing their plan to spilt two groups with Yuya , Gong , Sylvio , Crow , and Moon Shadow Dueling the students while Declan , Riley , and Sora continue to the lab . When the students retreated , they chased after them but had fallen into a trap and were captured in energy nets . They were then forced into a Survival Duel with five Duel Academy students that would only leave one man standing . While the Lancers argued about participating , Moon Shadow went ahead to provide reconnaissance . However , they heard a scream and ran to the location only to find a Duel Academy student carded and another student in the bushes scared . Sylvio and Crow chased after him while Yuya and Gong were separated from them . Meanwhile , Moon Shadow Dueled an eleventh Duelist who attacked both groups alike and was outmatched . Before he was about to be defeated , Moon Shadow left a message on a tree for his comrades and was sealed into a card . Yuya and Gong would hear Moon ' s scream and ran to his location only find him carded and his message revealing that there ' s an eleventh Duelist in the forest with them . Sylvio spotted someone staring at him from the bushes and screamed , alerting Crow who ran to his location . Yuya and Gong found another student carded and they hurried to find Sylvio and Crow fast due to the danger of staying separated . Sylvio ran away from his pursuer until falling off the Duel arena and landed on a cliff . He climbed back up while reuniting with Crow , who noticed someone was watching them until two more students , Emma and Jacob , arrived . Thinking they were his pursuers , Sylvio and Crow challenged them to a Duel , but before he could take the first turn , someone intruded the Duel and Crow called out for that Duelist to revealed their self . Meanwhile , Shay finally made it to Lulu but learned from Kite that she ' s under Duel Academy ' s control after she tried to attack him . The siblings Dueled each other and Shay was determined to save her . However , he was surprised watching her Fusion Summon and deduced what was controlling her . With help from Kite and Sayaka , Shay was able to free Lulu from her control and defeat her . After the two students were sealed into cards , Crow continued to call out for the Duelist to revealed themselves . While he and Sylvio ran , Crow realized they couldn ' t defeat the Duelist and had " Raikiri " attack Sylvio directly , damaging his Duel Disk in the process , to save him from being sealed into a card . After " Raikiri " was destroyed , Crow activated " Blackwing - Last Will " in an attempt to defeat the Duelist , but failed . However , he was able to reveal the Duelist ' s identity , Battle Beast . Yuya and Gong were able to find Sylvio and Crow due to Crow ' s trap , but were too late as he was sealed into a card . After learning that the Battle Beast was responsible for sealing everyone into cards as well , Yuya and Gong challenged him to a Battle Royal Duel . However , they barley survived his subsequent attacks and blocked Yuya ' s moves to get an Action Card , forcing Gong to use one . When Gong was defeated , he was about to be sealed into a card before Jack came speeding down a entrance on the Phoenix Whirlwind and flew into the Duel arena , surprising everyone present . Jack joined the Duel and brought out " Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend " , pushing Battle Beast into a corner which caused Sanders to join as well . During the Duel , Yuya was shocked that the Professor wants him eliminated specifically and was part of their plan . While lost in thought , Yuya barely noticed " Gladiator Beast Tamer Editor ' s " attack and dodged it , with Jack telling him to express his feelings in a Duel . However , they were surprised when Battle Beast used the effect of " Tamer Editor " to destroy itself , taking Sanders out of the Duel . They then take on Battle Beast ' s " Gladiator Beast Fort " which Jack wiped out with " Tyrant Red Dragon Archfiend " along with Yuya ' s monsters . When " Gladiator Beast Great Fortress " was brought out , Yuya was able to counter all of Battle Beast ' s monsters in it and defeat him . He then went on ahead with a student ' s help while Jack and Sylvio helped Gong . Meanwhile , Declan , Riley , and Sora caught up with Yusho and Alexis but were confronted by Yuri . When Alexis and Sora trapped Yuri , Declan , Riley , and Yusho continued on to see the Professor . However , Alexis was defeated and carded by Yuri , who then challenged Sora . Upon arriving in a strange room , Yuya ran into Lulu Obsidian , who told him of Shay ' s injury . They both were going to help Shay but Lulu suddenly challenged Yuya to a Duel . Using Yuto ' s Deck due to his determination to save Lulu , They both used tactics Lulu knows in order to make her remember . But , after seeing her use Fusion Summon , they learned from Shay that they have to defeat the person controlling one . Shay was about to go find that person but tased by Celina , who joined the Duel . Yuya and Yuto also learned that insects were controlling the girls . Upon learning Zuzu has one inside her , Yuya got angry until Yuto took over his body and both agreed to defeat to the Doktor and save the girls . Sora was defeated by Yuri , who attempted to seal him into a card until Yugo and Aster arrived . Meanwhile , Yuto went neck and neck with Celina to destroy her Parasite monsters until she countered each of his attacks . Before losing control of Yuya ' s body , he managed to destroy all of Celina and Lulu ' s monsters and deal them damage . They then meet the Doktor , who revealed a brainwashed Zuzu , causing Yuya and Yuto to awaken and defeat both girls with " Odd - Eyes Raging Dragon " . Yuya ran after them and confronted the Doktor , who proceeded to trap him in a cage . Declan , Riley , and Yusho were taken to the Professor by his students while Yuya watched them confront him on a monitor . Duel Academy . Yusho questioned Leo ' s objective while reminding him how they worked together to bring Dueling to a new era and still appreciate their encounter . But , everyone was surprised that the ARC System came from the Original Dimension and how Leo brought Duel Monsters to life with it . They also learned how a Duelist , who stood at the top of the Dueling world , attacked everyone with his four dragons and fused with them into one monstrous dragon . Meanwhile , Yuya , surprised about father ' s past and Zarc , entered a synchronized awakening with his counterparts and destroyed the cage , which knocked out Kite and Aster who just arrived . Yuya arrived at the Professor ' s inner chambers and reunited with his father , who was told by Leo that Yuya isn ' t his son . They then saw Zuzu , Celina , Lulu , and Rin in capsules behind Leo and watched him card the Doktor . Everyone in the chambers learned how Leo ' s daughter , Ray Akaba defeated Zarc by using four cards to split him and his dragons apart at the cost of herself and the Original Dimension , which became the Four Dimensions . They were shocked when Leo revealed that Zuzu , and her counterparts were reincarnations of Ray due to her splitting apart and planned to reunite them with ARC - V . They even learned that Yuya and his counterparts were Zarc ' s reincarnations and Leo want to destroy them due to them carrying his soul . However , Yuya and Declan refused let any of this to happen and challenged Leo to a Duel . They brought out their best monsters and sealed Leo ' s Extra Deck , but were surprised when he used Pendulum . When Leo tried convince Declan to join him , he refused and believed in Yuya . However , when ARC - V started powering up around the girls capsules , Yuya ( and Yuto ) awakened and pushed Leo into a corner . While watching the Duel , Yusho thought about Zarc and discovered that Zarc sent Yuya to him in order to raise as a Duelist and encourage his awakening . But , Leo countered and pushed Declan into a corner while Yuya managed to hold his own under Zarc ' s influence . Declan , Zuzu , Celina , Rin , and Lulu believed in him and Yuto break free from Zarc but when Leo increased ARC - V ' s energy input , they brought out " Odd - Eyes Raging Dragon " . Using the effects of " Raging Dragon " Yuya was close to defeating Leo ( and Declan ) but Yusho stopped him with " Binding Swords of Impact " , causing the Duel to be terminated due to it being defective . He then handed Riley , who passed out during the Duel , to Declan and went to go prevent Zarc ' s revival . While Yuya attempted to break free from the pillar , Declan yelled at Leo to turn off ARC - V as his throne left the room to watch over ARC - V . Meanwhile , Yusho ran into Aster and Kite and told them that Yuya , Yuto , Yugo , and Yuri are alter egos of Zarc and are trying to revive him by becoming one . They then went to go stop Yugo and Yuri , who were Dueling at the moment . Upon arriving Aster and Kite joined their Duel and took on Yugo first countering each other ' s attacks . When Aster mentioned Rin , Yugo started show signs of regaining his self and after battling " Destiny HERO - Dusktopia " he returned . However , Yuri defeated Aster and Kite with " Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon " and Sora could only watch Yugo take him alone due to his injures . Yuya continued to attempt to break free from the pillar after sensing Yugo and Yuri were near . Riley challenges Declan to a Duel in order to help Ray after being contacted by her . Declan sealed away most of Riley ' s tactics but was surprised at how Riley continued to push off . With Ray by his side , Riley managed to turn the Duel his way and brought out a monster Declan never saw before . As Riley destroyed his monsters one by one , Declan wondered where he went wrong and that he created a monster . Meanwhile , Yusho hope for Yugo to endure so Zarc won ' t resurrect but was surprised when Yuri defeated him . He and the others then watch Yuri absorb Yugo and tried to stop him from going after Yuya . As Declan just defeated Riley to stop Leo ' s ambition , Yusho was sent flying into the room by Yuri . Declan tried to protect Yusho but was sent flying as well and Yusho challenged Yuri to a Duel . Using his Dueltaining , Yusho began to go after Yuri ' s trump card with " Performapal Sky Magician " and push him into a corner . However , Yusho is put on the defensive when Yuri used the effects of " Starving Venom Fusion Dragon " and Yugo ' s " Clear Wing Synchro Dragon " to defeat him and seal him into a card , causing Yuya to awaken again . Yuya challenged Yuri to a Duel to get Yusho ' s card back but had to hold back Zarc from taking over . However , as Yuri brought " Starving Venom " and " Clear Wing " , Yuya would experience pain from them and was scared to use " Odd - Eyes " or " Dark Rebellion " . But , with help from Yuto and " Smile World " , he would use his dragons only to lose " Dark Rebellion " to Yuri . He was even close to giving in to becoming one when Yuri , Yugo , and Yuto ( under the darkness ) would keep telling him to become one . But with help from Declan , Yuya managed to keep his sanity until he was forced into a corner and had to give up " Smile World " , breaking his spirit . With encouragement from Declan , Riley , Sora , and Aster , Yuya ' s motivation came back and defeated Yuri . But after Declan told Yuya to focus only on winning , Zarc was able to take control of him and summoned " Astrograph Sorcerer " to fuse his counterparts and dragons back into Supreme King Z - ARC . After Zarc revived himself and attacked the Fusion Dimension , Sora and Aster decided to Duel him while Declan and Riley went back into Duel Academy to revive Ray . Sora and Aster attempted to bring back while trying to defeat Zarc , but the Supreme King stated he longer exists after completing his mission . However , after watching Zarc perform Pendulum Summon , they still believed that Yuya still inside him . They attempted to cut away at his LP and use old memories to revive Yuya , even using his pendant but Zarc used the Pendulum Effect s of his Supreme King Gate Pendulum Monster s to negate damage and raise his LP while remaining unfazed by their attempts to revive Yuya . As their efforts failed , they were surprised when Zarc Integration Summon " Supreme King Z - ARC " and were defeated by the effect of " Z - ARC " . Just before Zarc defeated Sora and Aster , Shay and Kite intruded the Duel , turning it into a Action Duel and carrying on their feelings to bring back Yuya . Shay and Kite quickly brought out " Rise Falcon " and " Cipher Dragon " , ranking them up to combat " Z - ARC " and " Supreme King Dragon Dark Rebellion " . Knowing that Yuya and Yuto are still alive , they attempt to remind them of the things they did while trying to destroy " Z - ARC " . However , Zarc used the effects of his " Darkurms " to weaken their monsters and " Z - ARC " to prevent them from using Action Card s . Just before Zarc defeated Shay and Kite , Gong and Jack intruded the Duel . Gong catches Shay and Kite and received Yuya ' s pendant from Shay , promising to return Yuya to normal . Meanwhile , Declan and Riley notice the citizens of Heartland and New Domino City walking through them in midair due to the integration .
