Yuya tritt gegen Iggy Arlo von der Akademie der Vereinigten Krieger an. Diese Schule ist für harten Drill und unerbittliche Lehrer bekannt. Yuya tritt gegen den besten Schüler der Akademie an: Iggy Arlo. Im Kampf muss Yuya ganz schön einstecken, doch plötzlich beginnt sein Körper, sich zu verändern …
After Gong wins his second round match, Yuya steps up to face Isao, pitting his entertainment dueling against Isao's more violent methods. As Yuya brings out Beast Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Isao recalls how his teacher Ryōzan instructed him to be serious about victory instead of having fun like Yuya. Isao then brings out his Fusion monster, Idaten, the Star of Supreme Victory, using violence to grab Action Cards to power up his monster, though Yuya manages to grab one himself to stay in the game. Cornered, Yuya sees a vision of Yuto merging together with him and summons Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon to win the duel. When Yuya regains his senses, he is met with concerned glares from the audience and disdain from Isao.
L'avversario di Yuya è Isao Kachidoki della scuola Ryozanpaku, nel secondo turno del campionato Maiami.
