ARC - V " anime . It first aired in Japan on May 1 , 2016 and in Canada on August 12 , 2017 . It became available with official subtitles via Crunchyroll on March 28 , 2017 . Summary . Night has fallen over Heartland as the red - haired boy leads Yuya , Sylvio , Gong , and Shay up a massive staircase . Yuya and Sylvio are both out of breath after they reach the top , and the red - haired boy states that they ' ve arrived at their hideout , gesturing to a rounded building . Once the Lancers and the Resistance members are inside , they sit on mats around an earth square with the red - haired boy , who formally introduces himself as Allen Kozuki . He points to the bespectacled girl who is handing soup rations and introduces her as Sayaka Sasayama ; a member of the Resistance . Allen calls out to Sayaka and reminds her that she isn ' t on duty to serve food that night , and that she shouldn ' t push herself . Sayaka hesitantly agrees . Allen mutters that they don ' t know when their battle with Duel Academy could start up again and points out that he ' s always telling her to be more concerned about herself , isn ' t he ? Sayaka reassures him that she knows and she turns to hand a man his rations . Allen apologizes , explaining that Sayaka is simply shy ; it ' s not that she dislikes the Lancers . Sylvio takes a gulp from his drink and comments that Allen has been quite welcoming on the other hand ; they ' ve only just met and he ' s already speaking to Sylvio so informally . ( In the dub , Allen admits that Sayaka also covers his shifts and that he ' s lucky that his best friend loves helping people ; Sylvio suggests he ask her to help refill his tea . ) Gong tells him to cut it out and grabs Sylvio ' s head . As Sylvio struggles in Gong ' s headlock , Yuya notices the family that he , Gong , and Sylvio saved in previously . The kids wave and the mother bows in thanks , and Shay explains that the family told them where they were as Sylvio passes out . Shay states that the family wanted to thank Yuya for teaching them the true meaning of Dueling while fighting off the soldiers of Duel Academy . But Yuya laments internally that he wasn ' t able to open Kite ' s heart through their Duel . Bringing out " Dark Rebellion " , Yuto ' s monster , caused Kite ' s heart to waver , but … Yuto appears behind Yuya and he muses that Kite ' s hatred for Duel Academy is running deep throughout him . Allen asks Yuya if he said that his name was Yuya , and comments in amazement that Yuya really does look like Yuto and admits that he ' d thought that Yuto had come back as Sayaka , her apron in her arms , stands behind them . Sylvio asks who Yuto is , and Gong explains that they heard about him from Zuzu a while back ; that she ran into a guy who looked just like Yuya a few times . Allen asks why they look so alike and Yuya begins to reply that he doesn ' t know , but Allen excitedly suggests that Yuya may actually be Yuto ; he did use " Dark Rebellion " after all . Yuya tries to protest and Allen tells him to deny it faster if he isn ' t Yuto . Shay again clarifies that Yuya isn ' t Yuto ; he may look just like him , but he is Yuya Sakaki . Sayaka , who has just knelt down , is surprised to hear the name " Sakaki " . Allen asks what happened to Yuto ; Shay went to the Standard Dimension chasing after him didn ' t he ? He wonders why they didn ' t return together as well . Yuya is about to explain what happened to Yuto , but Yuto interrupts him , warning him that even if Yuya explained that Yuto ' s soul was within Yuya , they wouldn ' t understand . Shay confirms that Yuto did go to the Standard Dimension chasing after him , but suddenly went missing . Allen and Sayaka are shocked and Shay admits that he initially distrusted Yuya ; thinking that he has attacked Yuto and stolen " Dark Rebellion " . He recalls Yuya explaining to Shay that he didn ' t know what was going on , but Yuto entrusted " Dark Rebellion " to Yuya , asking him to bring smiles with his Dueling . Allen repeats the phrase , " bring smiles with Dueling " and Sayaka admits that that sounds like something Yuto would say . Shay explains the he never did find out what happened to Yuto , but after seeing how Yuya fought after that , Shay decided to trust Yuya . He claims that he didn ' t find it strange that Yuto had entrusted Yuya with his card , something that gets a smile of relief from both Yuya , and Yuto from within Yuya . Allen muses that this must have been how Shay and the Lancers became comrades . It ' s all good and well , but they had their own problems ; not long after Yuto and Shay went to the Standard Dimension , the Army of Duel Academy launched a full - fledged assault . Gong repeats the phrase in surprise . Allen closes his eyes and recalls the already ruined Heartland burning . He explains that that the instant they saw anyone ; the members of Duel Academy would point their Duel Disks at them and mercilessly turn anyone they saw into cards . As he speaks , three red - jacketed Duel Academy soldiers are shown calmly sealing a man into a card . Allen explains that the Spade Branch ' s Resistance squad were entirely wiped out , and as he explains that the Clover Branch was close to meeting the same fate he remembers hiding from an " Ancient Gear Soldier " . He laments that they were so busy protecting their remaining members that they couldn ' t even protect other citizens . They barely managed to escape and get to this hideout . Shay laments furiously that if he and Yuto had been there , there wouldn ' t have been so many casualties . Yuya asks if something happened to Kite during that time , and Sayaka explains that it wasn ' t to Kite that something happened , but to his family . Duel Academy got to all of them . Shay asks if Duel Academy turned them into cards , but Sayaka can ' t bring herself to respond . Yuya and Yuto react in shock and horror , protesting that it can ' t be , while Gong and Sylvio sit solemnly . Yuya chastises himself ; believing that he ' s still far too immature . Jack taught Yuya that he could communicate heart - to - heart through Dueling and Yuya was proud of himself for actually accomplishing it . But he remembers Kite declaring that talk was pointless and that Duel Academy only deserved death . He remembers " Odd - Eyes Rebellion Dragon " clashing with " Galaxy - Eyes Cipher Dragon " and thinks that he just kept on trying to force open Kite ' s heart ; but he couldn ' t even reach the sadness he had closed away in his heart . Yuya laments that if this is all that he amounts to , then he won ' t be able to make Kite or all of the people who are hurt smile . He won ' t be able to face his father or Jack . At the mention of Yuya ' s father , Sayaka asks Yuya that he said that he was Yuya Sakaki , didn ' t he ? Yuya replies that he is and Sayaka wonders if he has any connection to Yusho Sakaki . Yuya is shocked and he desperately asks if they know Yusho Sakaki ; Yuya ' s father . Allen is surprised to learn that Yusho is Yuya ' s father and he muses that Yuya did say " Sakaki " . He frowns and asks if Yuya is really Yusho ' s son and Yuya begs them to tell him anything they know about his father . Gong asks who would have thought that people knew of Yuya ' s father in the Xyz Dimension and Sylvio realizes that that means Yusho came to the Xyz Dimension . Sayaka explains that they knew Yusho because he was their teacher . Three years ago , he showed up as if he ' d predicted Duel Academy ' s invasion , and taught them everything about Dueling ; not just skills , but the mindset to always smile while Dueling . Yuya mutters , " three years ago " and excitedly states that he knew his father wasn ' t a coward . He didn ' t run away , but crossed dimensions in order to fight Duel Academy - " No , he ' s a coward , " Allen interrupts . Yuya stop and looks at Allen , who explains that Yusho vanished one day without warning ; he abandoned them and ran away . Yuya can only gasp in disbelief . Seagulls fly over a harbor as Zuzu wakes up from her prone position against a building , wincing in pain and wondering where she is . She walks out into the harbor and wonders if this is Paradise City , but then she sadly states that she doesn ' t recognize the city that she ' s in . She recalls being sucked into the Dimensional Wormhole created by Jean - Michel Roget as she and Yuya screamed one another ' s names . Zuzu rubs her arms and whispers Yuya ' s name , but then she hears a boat sounding its horn off in the distance . She walks up to see a crowd of people seeing a bunch of children setting off on a boat ; the children vowing to their families that they will do their best , while the families encourage the children to do their best , working and studying hard to become strong Duelists . Zuzu asks if all of the kids are going to become Duelists and wonders why they are leaving on a boat . A boy in a green shirt stops his waving and he states that that ' s obvious ; it ' s to go to Duel Academy . Zuzu is shocked to hear the boy talk about Duel Academy , and the boy explains that out on the ocean is an island with the Duel Academy ( this is the first time in the Japanese version that Duel Academy are referred to as Duel Academia rather than simply Academia ) , but you can only get there by boat . Realizing that this is common knowledge , he asks Zuzu why she doesn ' t know this . Zuzu realizes that if Duel Academy is across the sea , then she must be in the Fusion Dimension . As the boat sets off into the horizon the boy groans that he ' s so jealous and claims that he wants to hurry up and graduate from elementary school and go to Duel Academy ; if he studies hard he can go there and become a strong Duelist that doesn ' t lose to anyone . Zuzu asks if the boy even knows what Duel Academy is doing , much to his confusion . Zuzu begins to explain that Duel Academy trains their students and uses them by sending them to other dimensions , but she is interrupted by the boy ' s mother who tells her son that they ' re done seeing them off and suggests that they go home . After all , the boy needs to train hard with his private tutor so he doesn ' t became a dropout and so he can make it to Duel Academy . The boy tells her that he ' ll do his best and he bids Zuzu goodbye . The boy ' s farewell causes his mother to notice Zuzu and she asks how old Zuzu is . Zuzu replies that she ' s fourteen , asking why it ' s important . The woman tells her that at her age , she ' s supposed to be at Duel Academy herself . She takes note of Zuzu ' s Underground Labor Facility overalls and asks what she is wearing and what she is doing here . Zuzu asks what she means . A few other adults overhear the conversation , and wonder if Zuzu escaped the island . One of them notes that kids have hid on the ship to sneak out and another suggests contacting the guidance committee and informing them that they ' ve found a run - away student . The boy suspiciously asks if Zuzu ran away and Zuzu frantically denies it , but the men are calling Juvenile Officers over , commenting that if they let Zuzu go she ' ll be a bad example to the other students . One of them suggests that they hurry up and take her back to the island , but Zuzu dodges his clumsy attempt to grab her and flees , the adults encouraging the Juvenile Officers to hurry up and not let her escape . As she runs , poor Zuzu can ' t believe that of all places she got sent to the Duel Academy ' s Fusion Dimension . She dodges through the streets and manages to catch her breath in an alleyway as one of the Officers runs past , asking his fellows if they ' ve seen her . Zuzu thinks that if she gets caught then they ' ll take her to Duel Academy , which is exactly what the Professor wants . She makes a run for it across a bridge , but she is spotted by both the Juvenile Officers and a blonde woman in a teal cloak in a gondola . Zuzu waves through the alleyways , but the Juvenile Officers but her off at every turn . She runs across a bridge for a pair of massive stone doors , but they don ' t open . The Juvenile Officers warn Zuzu that she has nowhere to run and tell her to stop struggling and go back to the island . One of them reassures her that as long as it isn ' t a repeated offense she ' ll get away with only one month of re - education . Zuzu gasps and a stocky officer warns her what will happen if she tries to resist as he and his fellows activate their Duel Disk s . Zuzu thinks to herself that she has no choice but to fight . Just as she is about to put on Sora ' s Standard Duel Disk , a voice tells the Officers to hold it . The cloaked woman somersaults onto the bridge in between Zuzu and the Juvenile Officers , saying that if they want a fight , that she ' ll be their opponent instead . She removes her cloak , revealing her appearance and a different Duel Disk on her arm and she tells Zuzu that it ' s fine and warns her to stay back . Two of the Juvenile Officers wonder if she ' s the one they ' ve been hearing rumors about and the third confirms it , warning them not to let their guard down as the woman has taken down countless others . The Juvenile Officers state that they ' ll take the woman on all at once . The woman comments that it ' s Battle Royal and activates her Duel Disk and she confidently states that she wouldn ' t have it any other way . Zuzu wonders who the woman is . All four Duelist declare , " Duel ! " , with the young woman being identified by the versus splash as Alexis ( as the names are removed from the splash in the dub , Alexis is unnamed in the dub at this point . ) Alexis declares that she ' s going first , Summoning " Etoile Cyber " and Set ting a card . The center Juvenile Officer steps forwards and declares his turn , drawing a card and adding it to his hand , then Summoning " Armor Canine - Cannonboxer " from his hand . He explains that its effect allows him to Special Summon an " Armor Canine " monster with a lower Level from his hand and he Special Summons " Armor Canine - Bullcopter " from his hand . The Officer states that when " Bull Copter " is Special Summoned , he can add this card to his hand , and he holds up a " Polymerization " card . Zuzu is wary once she sees the card and the Officer subsequently activates the Spell Card , fusing " Cannon Boxer " and " Bull Copter " . He chants " Cannon - like guard dog , become one with the flying beast and become a new power that shakes the heavens ! Fusion Summon ! Appear and come forth ! Full Armor Canine - Bullfortress ! " He activates the effect of " Bull Fortress " ; by sending any number of " Fusion " or " Polymerization " cards from his hand to his Graveyard , he can increase the ATK of " Bull Fortress " by 1000 for each . He discards another " Polymerization " and the ATK of " Bull Fortress " increases to 3000 . Zuzu is shocked to see a 3000 ATK monster on the first turn . The Officer comments that in a Battle Royal a player cannot attack on their first turn , so it looks like Alexis got lucky this time . He ends his turn , passing play to the thinner Officer on his left . He draws and also Summons " Armor Canine - Cannonboxer " , then uses its effect to Special Summon " Armor Canine - Bullcopter " from his hand . Then he uses the effect of " Bull Copter " to add " Polymerization " from his Deck to his hand since he Special Summoned it , and activates " Polyermization " to fuse " Cannon Boxer " and " Bull Copter " . He chants , " Fusion Summon ! Appear and come forth ! Full Armor Canine - Bullfortress ! " Zuzu observes that it ' s the same monster and she wonders if the Officer will send " Fusion " cards to his Graveyard again . The thinner Officer does just that , discarding " Polymerization " and " Re - Fusion " to increase the ATK of " Bull Fortress " by 2000 , to 4000 , much to Zuzu ' s shock . The thinner Officer ends his turn , and the tallest Juvenile Officer takes his turn , drawing and Summoning " Cannon Boxer " , then using its effect to Special Summon " Bull Copter " . He adds " Polymerization " to his hand with the effect of " Bull Copter " and then Fusion Summons his own " Full Armor Canine - Bullfortress " . " Don ' t tell me that he ' s going to send three this time , " Zuzu gasps . But the tall Juvenile Officer discards " four " cards ; " Polymerization " , " Re - Fusion " , " Fusion Recovery " and " Fusion Reserve " , increasing the ATK of his " Bull Fortress " by 4000 to 6000 . Zuzu is shocked at the 3000 , 4000 and 6000 ATK monsters and the center Juvenile Officer declares that there ' s nothing that Alexis can do . The thinner Officer asks her if she sees the power of Duel Academy now and the tall Officer tells Alexis that she ' s better of surrendering now before she gets hurt . " Surrender ? " Alexis asks in confusion , before she protests that they ' re just getting started ( in the dub , Alexis comments that they must not know her very well ) . She declares her turn and draws . Alexis then activates a Ritual Spell Card , " Machine Angel Ritual " . A glowing yellow crest appears in the ground and creates a shrine as Alexis Tribute s the Level 4 " Etoile Cyber " from her field and the Level 6 " Cyber Prima " from her hand in order to perform a Ritual Summon . The energies of the monsters enter the shrine and light it into a pillar of fire . Alexis chants , " Angel of light with unparalleled power ! Appear in this world and shine your light upon all creation ! Descend ! Level 10 ! Cyber Angel Vrash ! " Zuzu asks if Alexis uses Ritual Summoning . The center Juvenile Officer muses that Alexis is as powerful as the rumors say to pull out a Level 10 monster so quickly , but " Vishnu " only has 3000 ATK ; how does Alexis plan to fight against their three monsters ? The tall Officer states that Alexis has no way to win and is better off surrendering now . Alexis smiles and comments that she wonders about that to Zuzu ' s surprise . Alexis explains that when " Cyber Angel Vrash " is Summoned she can destroy all Fusion Monster s her opponent controls and inflict 1000 damage for each one destroyed . The Juvenile Officers are shocked by the effect , and " Vishnu " fires several quick blasts of light into the air that coalesce into a sphere . Alexis declares , " Angelic Fury ! " and blasts of energy rain down from the sphere , destroying the three " Bull Fortress " and reducing the three Juvenile Officers to 3000 LP each . Alexis explains that " Vishnu " can also attack a number of times equal to the number of monsters that were destroyed ; as three were destroyed she can attack all three Juvenile Officers directly . She orders " Vishnu " to attack , and " Vishnu " blasts a massive surge of energy at the Officers , knocking them unconscious and reducing their LP to zero . Zuzu whispers that Alexis is amazing , and Alexis turns and tells Zuzu to follow her . She leads Zuzu to a gondola , explaining that they ' ll travel using this and asking her to get in . Alexis steps into the gondola and she asks Zuzu what her name is . Zuzu replies that it ' s Zuzu , Zuzu Boyle and asks for Alexis ' name . Alexis introduces herself as Alexis , and Zuzu whispers , " Ms . Alexis … " Alexis clarifies that she is Alexis Rhodes and she tells Zuzu that it ' s nice to meet her . Zuzu agrees and takes Alexis ' hand . Alexis takes Zuzu to a building built in a small mountain and Alexis leads Zuzu underground . They pass into a hallway and Alexis explains that there are many other Duel Academy runaways like Zuzu here . Zuzu asks , " Escaped ? " and she looks in a room to see two students Dueling with Duel Disks like Alexis ' . She begins to realize what the place is and Alexis opens a door and she confirms that this is their Duel School ; You Show Duel School . Zuzu reacts in surprise to hear the name of her own Duel School and Alexis tells her to enter . Zuzu walks through the door that Alexis is holding open to a man in a red suit and a top hat sitting in a rocking chair . Zuzu gasps as she recognizes the man ( specifically identifying him by name in the dub ) , and Yusho Sakaki lifts the brim of his hat , looks at Zuzu and smiles . Featured Duel : Alexis Rhodes vs .
