Hidden Arsenal 2

Hidden Arsenal 2 is a special non-canon episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Progression Playoff, a spin-off of Season 4, the ZEXAL arc. It debuted on MBT Yu-Gi-Oh's YouTube channel on February 19, 2022. This episode is sponsored by RAID: Shadow Legends. A change to the structure of the games was made in this episode, instead of a single-elimination bracket, each player will be randomly paired for 2 matches, with the winner of each match receiving 1 point. The "winner" of each episode is determined by final record. (There was no official tie-breaking method announced; on this wiki the tie-breaker used will be opponents' record.)
