Yusei summons his Nitro Warrior and beats Gatling Ogre, dealing some damage to Lotten. However, Lotten summons out Long Barrel Ogre and deals another Death Counter to Kalin, but Yusei sacrifices his Nitro Warrior to keep Kalin in the game. Kalin and Yusei summon out their Infernity Death Dragon and Stardust Dragon, but their attacks don’t get through. Barbara threatens to harm Nico and West if Yusei and Kalin don’t surrender, but the Malcolm family stand up against her. Lotten tries shooting his Shock Gun at Kalin, but is stopped by the arrival of Crow and Jack, who had brought along Security to free all the miners. Lotten sets off some explosions to escape, but Kalin catches up to him to finish the duel. Lotten makes an assumption about Kalin’s cards, but he is defeated thanks to the effects of Kalin’s monsters. Lotten and Barbara are arrested, Crash Town is rebuilt as Satisfaction Town and Kalin stays behind to look after Nico and West.

Barbara starts forcing members of the Malcolm family to duel each other to provide new workers for the mines. Yusei and Kalin arrive and challenge Lotten to a duel for Nico and West’s freedom and to liberate the town. Lotten gets a handicap to start with 10 cards, giving him easy access to Gatling Ogre’s ability. Kalin stops Yusei from negating Galting Ogre’s effect and gets attacked. However, he has a special monster that allows him to remain in the duel even with 0 life points, though will lose if he gains 3 Death Counters. Lotten manages to destroy the card Yusei used to negate Gatling Ogre’s effect in their last duel, but both he and Kalin manage to defend against these attacks and Kalin manages to bring up his defense.

As Kalin escapes with the kids and their father, the pursuers start activating the father’s shock collar, but Kalin manages to stop it though nearly falls off the kart in the process. Yusei manages to avoid losing to effects, but Lotten instead summons a more powerful monster. Kalin’s group are directed towards a deadly gap, so jumps to change the tracks to safety, falling in the process. Yusei manages to summon Drill Warrior from his graveyard, and Kalin knocks into Lotten before he can respond to it. Lotten then throws some dynamite which sends everyone flying, with Yusei and Kalin falling into a canyon. Lotten kidnaps Nico and West and along with Barbara overthrows Malcolm. As Yusei and Kalin visit the father’s grave, his duel disk reacts to Kalin, who decides to fight with Yusei.

Yusei knocks Kalin out so they can escape, stumbling upon a graveyard of lost duelists. They then encounter Nico and West who have Yusei’s Duel Runner, and learn that their father is still inside the mines. Lotten then finds them, so whilst Kalin and the kids look for their father, Yusei distracts him with a Turbo Duel. Lotten immediately summons Gatling Ogre, but Yusei’s manages to delay its One Turn Kill ability. However, Lotten soon replaces it with Full Armor Ogre. Meanwhile, Kalin and the kids escape on a mine cart and arrive in the mines again. They become surrounded, but Kalin fights them off as West and Nico find their father, setting off to escape again. Yusei manages to beat Full Armor Ogre, but Lotten manages to resummon Gatling Ogre, putting Yusei in a position where one card could mean his defeat.

Kalin summons Infernity Death Dragon whilst Yusei summons Stardust Dragon. Using an equip monster, Yusei manages to defeat Kalin. However, Barbara betrays Yusei, attacking him whilst Kalin is taken away. The Malcolm family’s top dog, Lotten, then appears and duels Ramon, beating him before he even gets a turn. Barbara and the Malcolm family had used Yusei all along to remove Kalin from the Ramon group so they would be easy prey. Yusei, along with Kalin and Ramon, are taken to the mines and given shock collars. Yusei finds a means of escaping, but Kalin still refuses to be helped. Meanwhile, Nico and West, sneak off with Yusei’s Duel Runner.

During the next sunset, Yusei duels Kalin, who quickly puts his Handless Combo into effect. Kalin laments that he was never able to forgive himself for the actions he took as a Dark Signer, and wandered around looking to die. Yusei manages to take the lead, but Kalin still has tricks up his sleeve.

Yusei arrives in a desert town called Crash Town, after receiving a letter from a woman named Barbara that Kalin was in trouble. She explains that in this town, there are battles at sunset between the Marco family and the Ramon group. Yusei is surprised to find Kalin siding with Ramon’s group, and notices a change in his personality. Kalin uses his Handless Combo and quickly defeats Marco’s challenger, who is taken away to become a slave in the mountains. Yusei tries to reach Kalin, but he doesn’t answer him. Barbara tells Yusei the only way to save him is to beat him in a duel to seperate him from the Ramon family. Yusei decides to join up with the Marco family, earning his place by defeating three of Marco’s men in one turn with his Nitro Warrior.

Yusei’s landlord, Zora, is depressed because the city wants to replace the broken grandfather clock on her clock repair shop. Later, the gang are visited by Zora’s son, Leo (not to be confused with Rua, who is called Leo in the dub). He reveals that three years ago, he accidentally broke the grandfather’s clock and then ran off after an argument with Zora. Akiza decides to make him presentable before he goes to see Zora again, who is not happy to see him after he broke the clock. Before he can run off, Crow decides to challenge him to a duel, which would force him to stay if he won. Crow runs into a bit of trouble with Leo absorbing one of his monsters and summoning out his Clock Knight monsters that rely on coin tosses, but soon comes back with his Blackwing Armor Master. Leo tries to back off from the duel, but Crow tells him he needs to stop running away from his problems. Leo summons a Time Wizard he got from his father to destroy Crow’s monster. Crow decides to take the damage instead of activating his Mirror Force, since Leo had realised he can’t keep running away regardless of his victory. Leo successfully fixes the grandfather clock and rekindles with Zora.

Wanting to find out the truth behind Jack’s alleged crime spree, Carly meets with a pair of hippies who caught a picture of two of Jack’s Duel Runner. She relays this to Yusei and Crow, who search the crash site only to find one of Jack’s cards. The real Jack is trapped in a virtual prison of sorts, forced to watch his imposter ruin his reputation. Yusei and Crow catch up with the imposter, but are attacked by his thrusters. Hearing his friends kindness, Jack breaks free from his imprisonment and catches up with his imposter for a rematch. This time Jack learns from his mistakes and uses the right Tuner Monster to summon Red Dragon Archfiend. The imposter then summons its own Red Dragon Archfiend but Jack manages to destroy it. However, he then manages to revive it and summon out two more Red Dragon copies. Jack manages to survive his attack and is granted the power to summon Majestic Dragon Archfiend. With its power, Jack manages to destroy the three dragons, along with the imposter, who was actually a robot. This activates some lines on a diagram in the Yliaster’s hideout. Jack returns to where he was held captive, only to find it had disappeared.

Securit bursts in with a warrant for Jack’s arrest. Mina and Trudge show footage of something similar to Jack’s Duel Runner causing other people to crash in duels using Red Dragon Archfiend. Yusei and company recall they had an argument earlier about teamwork. Jack still denies committing any crimes and Crow doesn’t help. When news spreads, everyone else has a hard time believing it. Later that night, an electronic bug breaks open Jack’s cell, allowing him to escape. However, he then runs into an identical Jack Atlas riding an identical Duel Runner and is challenged to a Turbo Duel. Jack picks an ideal card to use, but refuses to use it due to the earlier argument. He initially gains the upper hand, but is shocked to find the imposter’s behavious is identical to his during his ‘king’ phase. The imposter summons an identical Red Dragon Archfiend and defeats Jack, knocking him into the sea. Jack and Crow arrive only to see the imposter, thinking that the real Jack Atlus has commited another crime.

Jack and Crow arrive at the complex only to find themselves locked out, so they sneak in via a ventilation shaft. As Yusei continues to struggle against the Guard Robot, Placido completes their program’s installation into the Riding Roids, although one of the other Ylliasters, José, is curious of his actions. With his objective complete, Placido starts a self-destruct countdown and leaves using his ability, giving Yusei just 10 minutes to win his duel and escape. Jack and Crow join up with Bruno who, reluctantly, have to escape ahead of Yusei. As time is about to run out, Yusei manages to use his monster’s abilities to block off the Guard Robot’s Lock Deck and summon Stardust Dragon to win the duel. As the complex explodes, Lazar uses his tricks to save Yusei.

Yusei, Jack, Crow and Bruno decide to trail Jeager, who had stolen their program for Placido. Noticing he is being followed, Jeager heads to the mall where Yusei and co manage to apprehend him, but he makes a break for it. Jeager manages to lose Jack and Crow using holograms, though Bruno manages to figure out, and he and Yusei follow Jeager to a complex. Jeager gives the program to Placido, who then notices they are being followed and sets off the alarm, seperating Yusei and Bruno. Placido activates a dueling Guard Robot filled with Yusei’s battle data in order to stall Yusei whilst he installs the program into hundreds of Riding Roids. Bruno almost stumbles upon this until he is knocked out by Placido when he triggers a lost memory. Meanwhile the Guard Robot uses its high prediction capabilities to block off Yusei’s high level monsters and special summons, putting him in a tough spot.
