It first aired in Japan on January 24 , 2016 and in Australia on November 21 , 2016 . It became available with official subtitles via Crunchyroll on February 21 , 2017 . Summary . Yuya lands his Duel Runner between Riley and the Obelisk Force and removes his goggles , crying Riley ' s name . Riley smiles to see Yuya , but then he remembers the Obelisk Force and declares that he won ' t let them have Celina . Yuya turns and grits his teeth at the Obelisk Force , who chuckle mockingly . Sora leaps across rooftops , believing that Yuya won ' t be able to protect Celina on his own and thinks that he has to hurry . But Yuya is handling himself just fine , declaring his Battle Phase and attacking all three Obelisk Force directly with " Odd - Eyes Pendulum Dragon " , " Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon " and " Enlightenment Paladin " , reducing their LP to zero and knocking them out . The monsters disappear and the forced return function of the Obelisk Force ' s Duel Disks teleports them away . Yuya turns to see Riley panting heavily , still caught up in the moment and claiming that he won ' t let them have Celina . Yuya quickly kneels down and embraces Riley , urging him to calm down , and Riley ' s breathing slows . Yuya asks why Riley is here , and Celina weakly explained that she was captured by Sector Security and Riley saved her , before fighting off the Obelisk Force all on his own . She reassures Riley that he did great . Surprised , yet pleased by the statement , Yuya congratulates Riley as well . Riley seems pleased , but then he gasps , and Yuya turns to see three more Obelisk Force walking down the steps . Yuya places himself between them and Riley , but the Obelisk Force stand aside as someone else walks down the stairs . Celina recognizes him – it ' s Barrett , who respectfully tells Celina that it ' s been a while . Celina realizes that Barrett is here to take her back and she tells him to get lost , refusing to go back . Barrett walks forwards , telling Yuya to move . Yuya retorts that he won ' t let them have Celina . Barrett introduces himself , and he tells Yuya that he will be taking Celina back to Duel Academy . Yuya refuses to let that happen . Barrett asks if Yuya intends to get in his way , and he states that in that case he will defeat Yuya , activating his Duel Disk . Yuya activates his own Duel Disk and they both yell , " Duel ! " Despite the invasion , the day - to - day business of New Domino City at night continues as normal ; waste trucks continue to arrive and pour their junk into chutes leading to the Underground Labor Facility . Down in the Labor Facility the massive guards order the prisoners to keep working until they ' re almost dead , or they ' ll never finish in time , though it ' s not like they ' ll ever finish anyway . As Frank , Amanda and Tarren continue sorting through their assembly line , Zuzu looks at her bracelet and whispers Yuya ' s name . A stocky prisoner throws a bucket to the ground and he yells that he ' s sick of this . One of the massive guards asks what he said and tells him to try saying that again . Crow protests that now isn ' t the time for this , protesting that he already told them that some weird guys appeared out of the blue . Crow ' s guards tell him to be quiet and keep walking . Shay , who is carrying a broken boom box over one shoulder and a bucket in the other hand , asks if what Crow said is true . Crow confirms that it is , and Shay muses that Duel Academy is here . He turns and walks away , and Crow ' s guards ask where he is going . Shay warns them not to try and stop him , as he doesn ' t have time to play with punks like them . He suggests that they stay there if they don ' t want to get knocked out . The clean - shaven guard curses Shay and runs forwards to attack him . With a loud smack , the stocky prisoner is knocked to the ground by his guard , who tells him that he ' ll be taken down to the re - education facility . However , it seems that he will require some immediate treatment . Before he can finish his sentence , the guard who attacked Shay is thrown into him , knocking them both out . A prisoner screams that it ' s a fight – multiple guards are rushing Shay , who knocks them out with single blows . The guards continue to rush Shay , yelling that they have to hold down Shay as Gong and Sylvio walk past carrying a massive pipe . They stop to watch the fight and Gong asks what Shay is doing now . Crow runs up to them , gasping that they are here too . Crow explains that he got a message from one of Yuya ' s friends ; some strange guys are after Celina . Sylvio asks " strange guys ? " in confusion . Crow explains that Shay said that the guys were from Duel Academy , and Sylvio is shocked . Gong asks who Yuya ' s friend was , and Crow states that it was Sora Perse . Sylvio and Gong are surprised to learn that Sora is in this dimension , and Sylvio asks if Sora is an enemy from Duel Academy . Gong asks why he would introduce himself as Yuya ' s friend in that case . Sylvio remarks that regardless now isn ' t the time to be doing this , and Gong agrees . Gong releases the pipe – but without his strength to hold it up , poor Sylvio is dragged to the ground with it . Meanwhile the guards are finally bringing Shay under control with tethers , but as four guards close the distance of the tethers smoke bombs rain down on them and four kunai sever the tethers . Shay seizes his chance and knocks all four guards out effortlessly . Gong yells Shay ' s name and runs up to them . Moon Shadow ' s voice calls out to them , tossing Gong , Sylvio , and Shay their Duel Disks . Moon lands and Gong greets him , asking if it is true that Duel Academy have appeared in this dimension . Moon replies that it is . He explains that Riley is protecting Celina on his own and he ' d like them to go and help him . Sylvio and Shay ( who is removing the cuffs from the tethers ) are surprised that Riley is fighting . Gong agrees and he suggests that they get going , but Moon explains that he ' d like Gong to stay here ; if they all move now there will be no - one protecting Zuzu , and they can ' t let Security sneak in and take her during the commotion . Gong agrees and tells Shay that he ' ll leave Riley to him . Shay nods and takes off , followed by an angry Sylvio who protests that he ' s here too . Moon cries " To battle ! " and tosses more smoke bombs at the guards . The explosions catch the attention of the other prisoners , including Zuzu and the kids , and Zuzu gets a determined expression on her face and she clenches her fist . More trash pours into another area as an announcer declares that a riot is beginning in the recycling area , asking all available guards to respond . Shinji , Damon and Tony quickly band together , Tony proclaiming that this is their chance . Shinji agrees , stating that they will take advantage of the commotion and make their move . Meanwhile Shay continues to smash his way agily through the guards , while Sylvio runs behind him yelling threats and Moon runs along a conveyor belt . The guards in Shinji ' s area have their own problems as Damon and Tony begin hurling trash at them from piles and Shinji speaks through a salvaged megaphone , calling to his comrades . He states to the Commons , who include Gong ' s lackeys from the Facility that now is the time to raise the flag of rebellion after being used and mistreated by the Topsiders for so long . He declares the start of a revolution and the prisoners cheer . Damon cheers to everyone to get a weapon and take over this area first – they ' ve got a fine selection coming in now . A staff member cries that a riot is starting in Section C of the Trash Gathering area and that the inmates are believed to be using the nearby trash as weapons . Another staff cries that casualties in the Recycling area are rising , and the head of the Labor Facility grits his teeth in frustration as requests for reinforcements are made . The head orders the conveyor belts to be stopped and the Capture Unit to be contacted . Down in the Recycling area Gong and Crow catch up with Frank , Amanda and Tarren ; Crow is surprised to learn that the kids are there . Frank explains that " big brother Moon " helped them out , but Amanda protests that they have a problem , and Tarren explains that Zuzu has gone missing to Gong ' s shock . Barrett declares that the first strike takes the advantage and declares his turn . He activates the Continuous Spell Card " Beastborg Fusioner " from his hand , allowing him to Fusion Summon a " Beastborg " monster once per turn . He fuses " Panther Warrior " and " Dark Sentinel " from his hand and chants " Ferocious black panther and guardian of sacred darkness , merge as one and let forth your valiant roar ! Fusion Summon ! Appear and come forth ! Level 6 ! Beastborg Panther Predator ! " He activates the effect of " Panther Predator " , inflicting half its ATK to Yuya once per turn . " Panther Predator " blasts a red beam at Yuya from the eye on its chest , reducing him to 3200 LP . Barrett Set s two cards and ends his turn , before addressing Celina and explaining that he swore to the Professor that he would bring her back . Celina snaps that she already told Barrett that she isn ' t going back , but Barrett reminds her that she previously wished to stand on the front lines as a Duel Warrior ; if she returns with Barrett then he will personally ask the Professor to grant that wish . But Celina replies that she learned the truth about what Duel Academy has really done , and she states that she doesn ' t want to be an underling of the devil . Riley whispers Celina ' s name and Yuya reassures them that he will protect Celina and defeat Duel Academy . He declares his turn and draws , but he gasps in shock to see the " Smile World " card . The image of his mother appears on it , reminding Yuya not to forget to smile wherever he goes . Yuya whispers , " smile " to himself . Shinji knocks down a guard as he leads Damon , Tony , and a crowd of prisoners , telling them that they ' ll turn over this Topsiders - filled world . A staff member cries that the riot in the Trash Gathering area is growing and they can ' t stop them . The head of the Labor Facility is close to losing his temper , but is distracted by Lucas Swank telling him that he ' ll be heading out . The head asks Lucas where he is going , and Lucas states that since he ' s here he might as well clean up some trash as well , before telling his lackeys , " Let ' s go ! " Down in the Recycling area , Sylvio follows Shay and calls out to him , protesting that the elevator is the other way . Shay explains that the elevator will obviously have already been sealed off , but there ' s another way ; a place that no - one would think of using . Before they can go much further down the tunnel , bars block them off . Sylvio stops and tells Shay to get to work , but Shay tosses a small rock at the bars , which break it apart with electricity . Shay states that they can ' t . A voice calls out to them ; five guards are blocking the tunnel entrance off and tell them to stay there before activating Duel Disk . Sylvio suggests that they clean them up and he and Shay activate their own Duel Disks . Yuya looks at the " Smile World " card , musing " smiles … " He remembers his father stating that Duels can make people happy and can make them smile . Barrett asks Yuya what is wrong ; is he so afraid he can ' t do anything ? Yuya looks back at Riley and Celina and he thinks that for now he needs to protect Celina . He uses the Scale 3 " Xiangke Magician " and the Scale 8 " Xiangsheng Magician " to Set the Pendulum Scale and explains that this will allow him to Summon monsters from Level s 4 to 7 . Yuya chants , " Swing , pendulum of the soul ! Draw an arc of light across the aether ! Pendulum Summon ! Appear now , my monsters ! Level 4 ! Performapal Salutiger ! Also , Level 4 ! Performapal Silver Claw ! Finally , Level 7 ! Odd - Eyes Pendulum Dragon ! " Yuya muses that the total ATK of his three monsters is 6000 ; if he attacks will all of them at once he can win . But Barrett activates a Continuous Trap Card , " Beastborg Medal of the Steel Chain " . A stone wrapped in chains emerges from the card , and Barrett explains that so long as he controls a " Beastborg " monster , the monsters his opponent just Special Summon ed cannot attack or change their battle position . Yuya is shocked , and he realizes that , as Barrett confirms , as long as Barrett controls a " Beastborg " Yuya ' s monsters cannot do anything . Glowing chains snake from the rock and bind Yuya ' s monsters as he watches in shock . Shinji leads Damon and a group of prisoners through a corridor , and one of them asks Shinji what the plan is . Shinji states that Sector Security will be here eventually , and when that happens they won ' t stand a chance , which is why they need to take over the Control Room so they can gain control of the whole Facility first . Then they just need to get their weapons back and make their way out of the Labor Facility . Meanwhile , Gong runs through the Recycling area as he looks for Zuzu , but neither he nor Crow can find her . Frank wonders where she could have gone . Chojiro Tokumatsu notes that she must be still here since she can have gotten on the elevator and encourages them to keep looking , heading for the Control Room . Gong heads off again as well , and Crow does too , telling the kids to keep an eye on the elevator . Barrett explains that the monsters affected by " Medal of the Steel Chain " cannot be destroyed in battle , and that " Medal of the Steel Chain " will be destroyed if he does not control a " Beastborg " monster . Yuya laments to himself that he would have been able to end the Duel in one turn and now he can ' t do anything . Riley staggers forwards , swaying from side to side and he claims that he can still fight . Yuya urges Riley to stop , protesting that he doesn ' t have to do anything , but Riley keeps on coming forwards . Barrett nods the Obelisk Force forwards , and Riley ' s PTSD strikes him again , causing him to see the Obelisk Force as the soldiers and tanks that attacked his hometown . Yuya calls out to Riley , and he looks at the " Smile World " card , thinking to himself that it ' s no good ; he can ' t do anything with just this . Shay orders " Raidraptor - Blaze Falcon " to pierce through with its red - hot rage and spear of rebellion . " Blaze Falcon " opens struts that glow with crimson energy and as the " Raidraptor " crest forms over it in red light Shay declares " Electrostatic Bolt ! " Lightning strikes the last guard , reducing his LP to zero , and " Blaze Falcon " and Shay ' s three " Raidraptor - Force Strix " all dissolve as the " Crossover " Action Field dissipates . Sylvio gets up and calls the guards a bunch of pushovers . Shay adds , " And you didn ' t beat a single one of them " as Moon leaps down beside them . Suddenly they hear screams as Lucas and his lackeys approach in a mine cart , firing energy nets to capture rebelling prisoners . Lucas yells that the Commons will be trash for the rest of their lives ; they have no choice but to grovel at the bottom of society until they die . He sees the three Lancers up ahead , and grins that he found them , leveling his own net gun and telling them to prepare themselves . The cart approaches … and the Lancers step to the side , allowing the mine cart to slam into the electrified bars . Sylvio appreciatively calls it flashy . A voice tells all of the prisoners to freeze . The Stomptroopers have arrived and level their net guns at the prisoners from the conveyor belts . The Stomptroopers Commander comments that they ' ve all made quite a mess of things , but now this party is over and it looks like they ' ll have to introduce them to a place more hellish than here . The Stomptroopers prepare to fire , but then the conveyor belts start up again , dislodging them and causing them to drop their weapons . Up in the Control Room , Damon laughs that it worked . Tony contacts Shinji from the storage locker , where they have recovered everyone ' s Duel Disks . Another Commons tells Shinji that they ' ve held off the guards . Pleased , Shinji picks up the intercom and calls to his Commons comrades . He states that the path has been opened ; the moment for the Commons to stand up against society has come . Crow , the kids , and Hunter Pace all listen as Shinji tells them to go into New Domino City through the conveyor belts ; now is the time to rise up . Shinji turns and thanks Chojiro ' s lackeys , as they were a huge help . The blue - robed lackey , who is standing in front of the bound staff , tells Shinji not to worry , and the green - robed lackey admits that they should be thanking Shinji . The blue lackey admits that they ' d been planning on getting their boss out of the Labor Facility but it wasn ' t going too well . The green lackey admits that the riot made it far easier . Chojiro enters , having heard all of the conversation and gasps , " You guys … " as he looks at his lackeys happily . The lackeys are overjoyed to see Chojiro as well . The Commons arm themselves with Duel Disks and begin running for the exits . Moon suggests to Shay and Sylvio that they hurry as well , but Lucas tells them to hold it . He states that he won ' t forgive them ; now that it ' s come to this he ' ll use his forbidden " Super Crazy Evil Deluxe Gorgeous Ultra Rare Deck " to defeat them and activates his Duel Disk . But he ' s interrupted by Officer 227 , leading a group of former Security officers to knock out that " shiny bastard " . They stampede towards Lucas as he screams in fear . Gong finally finds Zuzu , and he asks if she ' s alright . Zuzu begs him to get her out of here ; she ' s worried about Yuya . Her bracelet was just shining , so she ' s afraid that something has happened to Yuya . Gong wonders if Yuya is fighting Duel Academy . Zuzu is surprised at the mention of Duel Academy , and Gong explains that Duel Academy have finally come to this dimension , but before the conversation can progress any further they are separated by a group of rioting Commons , calling out to one another . Moon , Sylvio , and Shay run out , and Shay sees Crow standing with the kids , and they smile and hold their fists out to one another . Shinji , Damon , and Tony lead a group of Commons on the conveyor belt and Shinji declares , " Let ' s go ! " Jean - Michel Roget is informed that the Capture Unit in Sector RT - 55 have located Yuya Sakaki and Riley Akaba and they are currently Dueling Duel Academy , causing Roget to start . His staff inform him that the primary target , Celina , is also there , and Roget gasps in shock . He slams his fist on the arm of his chair and thinks that he won ' t let either Duel Academy or the Lancers have Celina . Riley gasps in terror as his PTSD continues to wrack him and the Obelisk Force approach him . Yuya thinks that this is bad and he can ' t let this go any further ; he needs to beat Barrett quickly for both Celina and Riley . He tells himself to think as there should be something he can do . As long as Barrett has " Medal of the Steel Chain " " Odd - Eyes " and the others can ' t do anything , so he needs to destroy it . Then he remembers that Barrett said that " Medal of the Steel Chain " would be destroyed if he doesn ' t control a " Beastborg " . Yuya realizes what he can do and he steps forwards , alerting Barrett , and Yuya overlays his Level 4 " Silver Claw " and " Salutiger " . He chants " Fangs formed from pitch - black darkness , rise up against the foolish oppression ! Descend now ! Xyz Summon ! Appear now ! Rank 4 ! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon ! " He thinks that if he destroys " Panther Predator " , it will break the chains on " Odd - Eyes " and he prepares to attack , but Barrett tells him that it ' s useless and he activates another Continuous Trap Card , " Beastborg Medal of the Crimson Chain " . Since he controls a " Beastborg " monster he can target one monster his opponent controls that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck and prevent it from attacking . Another stone appears , this time bound in red chains , and these chains bind " Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon " . Yuya protests " No way … " as Barrett laughs at his predicament . Featured Duels .
