Yuya ist so erschöpft, dass er ins Koma fällt. Seine Verehrerin Aura will ihn pflegen, aber Zuzu und Yoko können sie am Krankenbett nicht gebrauchen. Bei der ARC-Liga-Meisterschaft verliert Kit Blade gegen einen Wüstling der Banded-Warriors-Akademie. Nun muss Yuya gegen den brutalen Schläger antreten.
With Yuya still unconscious following his encounter with Yuto and Yugo, Mieru comes around to try and help wake him up, but Zuzu and Yoko convince her to return to the championships. After Yuya wakes up, he and Zuzu learn Mieru was knocked out in a single turn, while Reira defeated Frederick using Synchro Summoning. Yuya then explains to Zuzu what happened between him, Yuto, and Yugo, while Zuzu tells him about Ruri, the girl who resembles her. Determined to find answers, Yuya and Zuzu hope to talk with Shay, but are unable to meet up with him. They instead watch Kit's duel against Ryōzanpaku Duel School's Isao Kachidoki, only to become shocked when Isao uses physical violence to win against Yaiba. With Isao confirmed as his next opponent, Yuya becomes determined to beat him in a duel that brings smiles.
Yuya è in uno stato di coma e nulla sembra essere in grado di farlo riprendere dalla sua condizione!
