Vizor informs Yusei that he has regained his memories . He states " The opponent you will face . . . " and removes his visor and finishes " . . . is me . " . Seeing Vizor ' s full face , Yusei realizes that he is Bruno . Vizor identifies himself as Antinomy , the protector of the Planetary Gear and the Divine Temple . Yusei and Antinomy engage in a Turbo Duel and the setting suddenly changes to outer space with the two of them racing along a white path . Antinomy says that this is a very fitting scene for his final time facing Yusei . He explains that this is a Death Course . The two of them are racing near a star , which the loser will be sucked into upon losing and neither of them will be able to leave until that happens . Yusei and Antinomy race along the track for a while , dodging flames that leap by them . Antinomy says that the loser shall be swallowed by the flames and the only means of escape is to win the Duel . Antinomy goes first and Normal Summon s " Tech Genus Catapult Dragon " . Its effect lets him Special Summon a Level 3 or lower Tuner monster from his hand once per turn , so he Summons " Tech Genus Jet Falcon " . He then tunes the Level 2 " Catapult Dragon " to the Level 3 " Jet Falcon " and recites " " Limiter removal , Level 5 . Regulator open . Thruster warm - up , okay . Up link , all clear . Go ! Synchro Summon ! Come on , Tech Genus Hyper Librarian ! " " , as he Synchro Summon s " Tech Genus Hyper Librarian " . Since " Jet Falcon " was used as Synchro Material , Yusei takes 500 damage , dropping his Life Points to 3500 . Waves of flames splash over the track and Yusei barely manages to avoid being hit . Antinomy calls back to Yusei and says that if something this small is enough to throw him off , he will be swallowed by the flames before they finish the Duel . Antinomy Set s 1 card in his Spell & Trap Card Zone and ends his turn . Yusei ' s turn begins , but he does nothing . Antinomy asks why he is hesitating and recalls how Yusei had said he was going to defeat any enemy standing in his way , regardless of who they are . Yusei suggests that the same may not apply if they are his friend . Annoyed , Antinomy reminds Yusei that if he doesn ' t defeat him , he won ' t be able to advance any further than this and won ' t be able to save his friends . Yusei starts to worry . He rides up beside Antinomy , who says that Yusei is incapable of leaving his feelings of a former friend out of it and that is both his greatest strength and weakness . Antinomy slams Delta Eagle against Yusei Go and demands that Yusei show him his dueling . Yusei draws his card and both players SPC goes up to 1 . Yusei Normal Summons " Junk Synchron " and since he control s a " Junk " monster , he Special Summons " Junk Servant " from his hand . Yusei thinks that as long as Antinomy controls Synchro Monsters , he is going to attempt to perform an Accel Synchro Summon and concludes that he must break the Synchro Monsters before then . Yusei tunes his Level 4 " Junk Servant " and his Level 3 " Junk Synchron " and chants " " Clustering anger becomes an entranced warrior conceived by a kishin . Become the path its light shines upon ! Synchro Summon ! Howl , Junk Berserker ! " " as he Synchro Summons " Junk Berserker " . Antinomy draws a card through the effect of " Hyper Librarian " , since a player Synchro Summoned . Yusei activate s the effect of " Junk Berserker " . He removes " Junk Servant " from his Graveyard from play to reduce the ATK of " Hyper Librarian " by the ATK of " Junk Servant " , causing it to drop to 900 . Yusei then gets " Junk Berserker " to attack " Hyper Librarian " . However Antimony is insulted that Yusei may have though such a low level strategy would work against him and activates his face - down card " Sonic Stun " , which negate s the attack and lets him Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Tuner monster from his hand , so he Special Summons " Tech Genus Cyber Magician " . Yusei Sets one card in his Spell & Trap Card Zone and ends his turn . Antinomy says that Yusei ' s confusion has set the breaks on this Duel . In his current state , Antinomy says that Yusei has no hope of keeping up in this Duel . Antinomy begins his turn and both players SPC raises to 2 . He Normal Summons " Tech Genus Rush Rhino " and tunes his Level 4 " Rush Rhino " with his Level 1 " Cyber Magician " and recites " " Limited removal , level 5 . Booster launch , okay . Inclination , okay . Ground support , all clear . Go ! Synchro Summon ! Come on , Tech Genus Wonder Magician " " , as he Synchro Summons " Tech Genus Wonder Magician " . This lets him draw another card through the effect of " Hyper Librarian " . Yusei tries warning Antinomy about an oncoming wave of fire , but Antinomy just rides straight through it , to Yusei ' s amazement . Antinomy tells Yusei to watch closely as he performs a true " Clear Mind " . He tunes his Level 5 " Wonder Magician " to his Level 5 " Hyper Librarian " and recites " " Limiter removal , Level 10 . Main bass booster control , all clear . Infinite power , unleashed here and now , break through this very dimension and beyond . Go ! Accel Synchro ! Come on , Tech Genus Blade Gunner ! " " , as he Accel Synchro Summons " Tech Genus Blade Blaster " . Yusei asks why Antinomy taught him how to Accel Synchro Summon . Antinomy explains that had he not , Yusei and Team 5D ' s would not have been able to win the World Racing Grand Prix and it was that power , which helped them bring out the Ark Cradle in their battle with Aporia . " Blade Blaster " attack s " Junk Berserker " with its " Shoot Blade " attack and destroy s it , causing Yusei ' s Life Points to fall to 2700 . Since a Synchro Monster was destroyed , Antinomy Special Summons " Tech Genus Metal Skeleton " from his hand . " Metal Skeleton " then attacks Yusei directly , dropping Yusei to 1600 . Antinomy Sets a card in his Spell & Trap Card Zone and ends his turn . Antinomy states that Yusei ' s heart is in disarray and in his current condition he has no hope of defeating Z - one , let alone defeating him . Yusei asks just who Z - one is , to which Antinomy replies that he is someone who will change the future of ruin . Antinomy calms down and tells Yusei about he met Z - one . Apocalyptic future . In the apocalyptic future , Antinomy was a pro Turbo Duelist . His hope derived from the dreams he had of showing people all over the world the magnificence of dueling and he had never doubted his beliefs . Antinomy won a Turbo Duel tournament and held a trophy up in front of a cheering audience . Afterwards , he becomes furious as he is told by his manager that he can ' t Synchro Summon , as it has been outlawed . The manager explains that they are in an unstable situation , where anything could happen and Antinomy can ' t just selfishly go about Synchro Summoning as he pleases . But to Antinomy this is all the more reason , as they should be aiming to find the correct way to use Synchro Monsters and points out that in the past the legendary Duelist , Yusei Fudo , used Synchro Monsters and countless people got hope from him . A crew rushes over to Antinomy and his manager , to inform that a main network is after going berserk as a result of Ener - D ' s interaction with Synchro Summoning . The manager realizes that if that is true , something bad is about to happen . The invasion of Meklord Emperors then appear in the sky and brought about destruction . Later , Antinomy walks along the streets of the now destroyed city , with no other survivors in sight . He wonders if Synchro Summoning caused this to happen and drops to his knees , where he finds a Synchro Monster card , " Scrap Dragon " . A Meklord Emperor Granel Infinity appears before Antinomy and starts scanning him , before pointing a cannon at his face . Antinomy closes his eyes , ready to accept his fate . However the Meklord Emperor is shot by a blast and falls to the ground . After the smoke clears , Antinomy looks up to an above platform and sees what looks like Yusei Fudo in Yusei Go , with a cannon attached to it . Antinomy says " You can ' t be " , but Yusei ramps down and gets out of his vehicle . He walks towards Antinomy and shakes his hand . Antinomy narrates that the person , who saved him was Z - one . He was lost in despair and saw Z - one fighting with hope . He was ashamed of himself . Much later , the only four survivors , Antinomy , Z - one , Paradox and Aporia devoted themselves to performing experiments in the hopes of saving the world from destruction . The experiments took up a lot of their time and their lives reached an end . As Antinomy lies in his deathbed , Aporia and Z - one , who is now in his machine form watched over him . Z - one tells him in order to save the world they will need his strength . Antinomy says that he has no doubt that the day will come when the world will be saved . To ensure this , he asks that he be put to work as Z - one ' s servant . Present . Antinomy says that soon afterwards all of Z - one ' s friends died and just like the others , Z - one resurrected Antinomy as his servant to change the future . Yusei , who has not been told that Z - one looked like him , begins to ask something about Z - one . Before he can finish his question , Antinomy says that it is correct , Z - one is the lone survivor of mankind . Yusei thinks that that can ' t be . Antinomy explains that Aporia was split into three embodiments of despair and was resurrected as three separate personalities , as the controllers of Iliaster . Antinomy was given the mission to protect Yusei and aid in his growth . He admits to not thinking Yusei would progress this far and didn ' t think that he himself would be the one to crush Yusei . Yusei asks if Antinomy considers him to be no more than a gear in his plans . Antinomy says that the Ark Cradle has surfaced and New Domino City is as good as confirmed , so the creation of a new future is all but assured . However the completion of that plan allows no room for Yusei to advance any further . Yusei demands that Antinomy not talk like that and points out that it wasn ' t just him Antinomy deceived , but every one in Team 5D ' s . He asks if Antinomy honestly sees hope in this future he is trying to create by sacrificing this world . He demands that Antinomy answer . Antinomy says that similar to how team 5D ' s are connected by a strong bond , he Z - one and his friends have formed a strong bond within the pit of despair and his very mission is his pledge to Z - one . Yusei asks if that is what Antinomy really wants to do and calls him Bruno . He replies that his name is Antinomy , and Yusei vows to defeat him for the sake of the future and his friends . Yusei begins his turn and both players SPC goes up to 3 . Yusei activates " Speed Spell - Angel Baton " , drawing two cards and sending one card , " Stardust Xiaolong " to the Graveyard . Since he controls no monsters , while Antinomy does , Yusei Special Summons " Unknown Synchron " from his hand . He Releases " Unknown Synchron " to Advance Summon " Salvage Warrior " . Since " Salvage Warrior " was Advanced Summoned , he is able to Special Summon a Tuner monster from his hand or Graveyard , so he revives " Junk Synchron " from his Graveyard . Yusei tunes his Level 5 " Salvage Warrior " to his Level 3 " Junk Synchron " and chants " " Clustering wishes will become a new shining star . Become the path its light shines upon . Synchro Summon ! Take flight , Stardust Dragon ! " " as he Synchro Summons " Stardust Dragon " . Since he Summoned " Stardust Dragon " , he is able to revive the " Stardust Xiaolong " from his Graveyard . He then activates " Graceful Revival " , Special Summoning " Unknown Synchron " from his Graveyard . He then tunes his Level 1 " Stardust Xiaolong " to his Level 1 " Unknown Synchron " and chants " " Clustering wishes will call out a new speed ' s horizon . Become the path its light shines upon . Synchro Summon ! The power of hope , Synchro Tuner , Formula Synchron ! " " , as he Synchro Summons " Formula Synchron " . Antinomy predicts an Accel Synchro Summon . Yusei activates the effect of " Formula Synchron " , which lets him draw a card once per turn . Yusei says that he shall no longer hesitate and if it means protecting his friends his answer lies here ; The new power he has obtained " Clear Mind " . The complete Mark of the Dragon , sans Leo ' s mark appears behind him . He tunes his Level 8 " Stardust Dragon " to his Level 2 " Formula Synchron " and chants " " Clustering crystal dreams open the door to a new evolution . Become the path its light shines upon . Accel Synchro ! Be born , Shooting Star Dragon ! " " , as he Accel Synchro Summons " Shooting Star Dragon " . Antinomy guesses Yusei has now gotten serious and Yusei vows to fight Antinomy past his limits . Yusei attacks " Metal Skeleton " with " Shooting Star Dragon " , destroying it and dropping Antinomy ' s Life Points to 1800 . Yusei Sets a card in his Spell & Trap Card Zone and ends his turn . Antinomy says that while Yusei may have surpassed his own limits , he has only began to barely scratch the surface of the current situation , because as he regrets the limitations Yusei believes himself to have surpassed are not his true limitations . Yusei asks what he means by that and Antinomy replies that Accel Synchro Summons are meant as nothing more than an exhibit ; A mere display of what lies beyond it . He says that he shall show Yusei and this is what lies far ahead and beyond of the surreal world of Yusei ' s . Antinomy begins his turn and both players SPC goes up to 4 . He holds up " Tech Genus Gear Zombie " and explains that he reduce the ATK of a Machine - Type monster he controls to Special Summon it from his hand . The ATK of " Blade Blaster " drops to 2300 and " Gear Zombie " is Summoned . Next he Normal Summons " Tech Genus Drill Fish " . He tunes the Level 1 " Drill Fish " to the Level 1 " Gear Zombie " and recites " " Limiter removal , Level 2 . Regulator , open . Navigation , all clear . Go ! Synchro Summon ! Come on , Tech Genus Recipro Dragonfly ! " " , as he Synchro Summons " Tech Genus Recipro Dragonfly " . The effect of " Recipro Dragonfly " lets him return a Synchro Monster to the Extra Deck and revive the Synchro Material Monsters used to Summon it , so he sends " Blade Blaster " to the Extra Deck and revives " Wonder Magician " and " Hyper Librarian " . Yusei is surprised that Antinomy returned his Accel Synchro Monster to his Extra Deck , but Antinomy explains that this is the answer to what lies beyond Accel Synchro Summoning . Antinomy speeds up and Yusei asks what he ' s about to do . Antinomy chants " " The state of supremacy beyond the limits of your own being , Top Clear Mind " " . He enters a digital tunnel and tells Yusei to watch carefully . Antinomy tunes his Level 2 " Recipro Dragonfly " and his Level 5 " Hyper Librarian " to his Level 5 " Wonder Magician " and recites " " Limiter removal , Level max . Regulator , open . All clear ! Infinite power . Piercing through time and space , open to a world unknown . Go ! Delta Accel ! " " This causes the star they are riding next to to condenses , explodes and turns into a black hole . Antinomy finishes his chant " " Come on , Tech Genus Halberd Cannon " " as he Delta Accel Synchro Summons " Tech Genus Halberd Cannon " . Yusei observes the current state of the star and asks " What is . . . ? " Antinomy asks if Yusei just saw that , a Synchro Summon using three Synchro Monsters . He says that this is a Synchro surpassing Accel Synchro and it is called Delta Accel Synchro . Featured Duel : Yusei Fudo vs . Antinomy .
