TRANSCEND GAME ( part 1 ) " TRANSCEND GAME ( part 1 ) " ( 〈 〉 " Toransendo Gēmu ❬ zenpen ❭ " ) is the first part of a special chapter of the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " manga , released April 11 , 2016 , in the " Weekly Shōnen Jump " magazine . The special is authored by Kazuki Takahashi and is related to the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! The Dark Side of Dimensions " movie , serving as a link between the end of the manga series and the film . Summary . While standing on a KaibaCorp flying machine , Seto Kaiba looks onward and states that if that is the infinite darkness over there , the Dragon of Light will illuminate it , as he Summons a " Blue - Eyes White Dragon " , by placing its card on his Duel Disk . In his eye he sees the king , Atem . Events leading up to this began six months earlier . KaibaCorp had made progress on a particular project . At their headquarters , Kaiba is notified that it is time for his visit to the research and development department . As he puts on his coat , Kaiba thinks of " Operation Neurons " , the development code for the company ' s new Duel Disk . He reflects on how they had tried numerous test versions , only a few of which were safe enough to be considered their new product . On his way , Kaiba walks past glass casings containing the Duel Disk prototype and KC mass production Disk . Inside a third encasing , is a test version of the Neurons VR system , which he deems to be scrap , but a failure loaded with unlocked potential . At the Duel Disk research and development department , Kaiba meets with Mokuba Kaiba , Chief Kuwabara and a number of researchers . Kuwabara informs him that to collect data for the test versions , they accepted applications for test monitors and received over a million candidates . Out of them , they gathered around 200 thousand Duelists under the age of fifteen , irrespective of race and faith , with network data in every branch of the country providing them with data around the clock . Mokuba adds that it is amazing to have Duelists all over the country craving to see the world Kaiba has created and offering their help free of charge . Kaiba requests that they pay close medical attention to the test subjects . The group pass through a door into a bridge over a room , where the test subjects are sitting on the floor wearing the Neurons headgear . Kaiba explains that the electromagnetic coils of the Neurons gear detect brainwave activity , which it converts to electromagnetic signals . The image from the user ' s imagination is then linked to the Crystal Cloud Network to complete the VR Solid Vision . Mokuba further comments that with Neurons systems interacting with each other around the world , people who have never seen each other are Dueling in VR space , in the world Kaiba created ; the world of Duel Links . He explains how Duelists can create Decks from card data sent across the cloud server and that they can even group together based on their brainwave frequency — their Duel pulse . People can form guilds , such as dragon users or pirates . In an ongoing Duel , the Dragon Knight Airborne Brigade begin their turn . Their opponents controlled " Fortress Monster Gairon " , with an ATK of 2400 ATK Pulse . The Dragon Knights Summoned " Cosmic Mineral Dragon Stone Head Dragon " , which boosted an ATK of 3600 Pulse to their opponents ' surprise . " Stone Head Dragon " attacked and destroyed " Gairon " , resulting in the Dragon Knight Guild winning . Using a much smaller headpiece , Kaiba is able to see what is happening in the Duel Links . He explains that the ATK of monsters Summoned from the Crystal Cloud Server is determined from the users ' brainwaves and that the power of their consciousness is the key to making monsters stronger . He reckons that the hardest thing to modify in any game is maintaining order , but it could also be said that the destruction of order is the way of the world . A woman in the Duel Links challenges the Dragon Knight Airborne Brigade to a Duel . The guild laughs at the idea of one person challenging their guild alone . However she Summons " Duza the Meteor Cubic Vessel " , with an ATK of 8800 Pulse . Kaiba comments that this person must have a brainwave frequency that transcends that of a normal person and that they will destroy everything . " Duza the Meteor Cubic Vessel " attacks and destroys " Stone Head Dragon " . The woman remarks that the Dragon Knight Airborne Brigade are not all they were made out to be , before flying away . Kaiba finds the appearance of such a dangerous element captivating , but from a business perspective , he cannot let it go unchecked and notes that the Duelist called herself Prana . Kuwabara is impressed with the quality of the Solid Vision and Mokuba comments that the new Duel Disk ' s trial version is a success . However , Kaiba regards the system as being at only 50 % . With there being some unexpected distortions in the VR , he requests a report of the brainwave data from a portion of the subjects to be sent to him by the end of the day . Kaiba looks down from the bridge , in surprise , at a girl , who has removed her Neurons gear . Present - day Kaiba thinks " That was when . . . I saw that young girl . . . " . Appearances . Debuts are in bold . Featured Duels . Dragon Knight Airborne Brigade VS another guild The other guild control s " Fortress Monster Gairon " ( ATK : 2400P ) .
