Many years in the future after the exploits of Yugi Mutou, Domino City has become a shadow of its former self: Neo Domino City. There lies a strong divide between the rich and the poor, and bridging that gap proves to be difficult. Neo Domino seems fit to entertain itself with a wild new event called "Riding Duels", the newest form of playing the ever popular Duel Monsters card game. Enter Yusei Fudou, a young man who lives on the edge of the law, making his own rules. His desire to reclaim what is rightly his from an old friend turns into much more than what he and many of his newfound companions called "Signers" would have ever bargained for.
#1 - Clustering Wishes
Season 5 - Episode 17 - Aired 3/9/2011
Yusei uses Shooting Quasar Dragon to destroy all 5 of Z-ONE's current Temporal Machine Gods, and then manages to bring out Shooting Star Dragon to deal a lot of damage to Z-ONE, reducing his life points to 700. Z-ONE screams when he takes the damage, and then he crashes into New Domino City's central building. Yusei then removes all of his speed counters to draw Clustering Wishes, and sets it face-down. After Yusei and Z-ONE talk about the right of changing the future, Z-ONE angrily blasts a hole in the building, and flies back up into the sky. Z-ONE then feels angry at Yusei, for reducing his life points by such a great amount, and tells Yusei that he will now prove to him that hope, and the possibility to fix the future without New Domino City's destruction, which Yusei believes in, was nothing before his power. Having already summoned all 10 Temporal Machine Gods, Z-ONE then uses his trap's effects once more, and sends Infinite Light Ein Soph Aur to the Graveyard, which allows him to Special Summon his true ace monster, The Ultimate Temporal Machine God, Sephiron. Sephiron's first special ability then revives 4 of Z-ONE's Temporal Machine Gods, which are Metaion, Zadion, Gabrion, and Sandaion, and grants them attack and defense points of 4,000. Sephiron's next special ablility then raises its own attack points from 4,000 to 20,000, as that is the total of all of the Temporal Machine Gods' attack points, including Sephiron's. Although Shooting Star Dragon is destroyed when ZONE attacks with Sephiron, Yusei survives the attack, thanks to his trap, Clustering Wishes, and manages to summon out Stardust Dragon. Yusei then uses the other trap's effects to give it an even stronger power of 23,000 attack points. With the power of his friends and supporters, and the final effect of Clustering Wishes, Yusei is able to destroy all of Z-ONE's monsters, defeating Z-ONE, which stops the Ark Cradle's descent (all during Z-ONE's turn). But despite the Ark Cradle powering off, it

Yusei summons out both Red Dragon Archfiend and Black-Winged Dragon, whilst Z-ONE replaces Metaion with Razion, using his trap, Zero Machine Ein, which allows him to summon a Temporal Machine God without any releases, but will lower its attack points to zero. Z-ONE then activates Razion's ability when Yusei draws a card on his turn, reducing his life points to 3,000. The damage sends Yusei flying out of control. But before he smashes into the Ark Cradle, Yusei manages to regain control of his duel runner, and fly back to Z-ONE. Yusei then summons Black Rose Dragon, and uses a trap to negate its effect and deal damage to Z-ONE, reducing his life points to 1,500. Z-ONE then spins out of control, and when he smashes into a building of the Ark Cradle, the impact causes the right half of Z-ONE's mask to break, revealing his face to be that of a much older looking Yusei.

After introducing himself, the Yliaster trio's duel runners combine to form Aporia's duel runner. Aporia then combines with it in such a way, that the audience are shocked to the point that they begin wondering if he was human at all. Aporia then activates the continuous trap card, Infinite Prison, so that by sending the trap, Infinity Force from his hand to the Graveyard, he can treat Grand Core as a spell card from the graveyard, and then set it face-down in the face-down zone. He then destroys Infinite Prison in order to add Sky Core, Wise Core, and Grand Core to his hand, which had been set face-down. Next, Aporia sends the 3 Machine Emperor Cores to the graveyard, in order to activate the trap card: Genesis of the Machine Emperors, which allows him to special summons his ace monster, Machine Divine Emperor Mechanicle Infinity Cubic. Then, he causes his Machine Divine Emperor to shoot energy into the sky, which results in lightning striking all over New Domino City. Aporia also manages to have his Machine Divine Emperor absorb Shooting Star Dragon, which increases Mechanicle's attack points from 4,000 to 7,300. Aporia then shows more visions of the future, in which he, in the human form of Jakob, is one of the last 4 survivors of a global Ener-D explosion, and an attack by Machine Emperors and Synchro Monsters on Earth, is approached by Z-ONE (his actual name is Yliadus), Paradox, and Bruno in his Vizor adult form, who are the last human survivors on Earth, who agree to try to prevent the disasters from occurring.

They then provide the traps that Yusei needs in order to reflect Mechanicle's attack. But when Aporia negates Mechanicle's destruction, his life points are reduced from 3,900 to 3,400. Yusei then Special Summons Scar-Red Nova Dragon and Black-Winged Dragon, in order to give Shooting Star Dragon attack points up to 9,600. But Aporia manages to counter Yusei's strategy, and has his Machine Divine Emperor Mechanicle Infinity Cubic negate the attack, and absorb both dragons, which increases the Machine Divine Emperor's attack points from 4,000 to 10,300. Aporia then uses a trap, which reduced Yusei's life points from 2,800 down to 400, and allows his life points to rise back up from 3,400 to 4,000. However, thanks to the wishes of the Signers, Yusei is able to draw the cards he needs that are in their possession. Then, Yusei resummons the two dragons, and special summons Shooting Star Dragon as a Synchro Monster, and now has all of the 3 Signer Dragons back on his side of the field. As a result, Mechanicle's attack points are lowered from 10,300 back down to 4,000. But despite this, Yusei is still in a desperate situation, as Aporia still has the upper hand of the duel.

Antinomy talks about how he was a champion Turbo Duelist, before the Machine Emperors destroyed the world. He was rescued by Z-ONE (who is actually the future version of Yusei), before Antinomy could commit suicide by letting a Grannel kill him. Seeing that Z-ONE still had hope (before the events of the Ark Cradle), and that he had none, Antinomy felt shame, and joined Aporia and Paradox as one of the 4 remaining survivors. He then lived his life working with Z-ONE on his experiments to save humankind (which failed), before being revived as a cyborg, after his human body died, whose mission was to teach Yusei the Accel Synchro, in order to provide the power needed to bring Ark Cradle to New Domino City.

But the energy used to perform the Delta Accel Synchro causes the star to go Supernova, and then the star turns into a Black Hole, with Yusei screaming at the force of the explosion.

Then, they enter a room with blue walls, located at the very heart of the Ark Cradle, where ZONE awaits them. Z-ONE reveals he was behind the Zero Reverse incident, as well as Paradox's scheme, to try to stop the existence of Synchro Monsters, and Ener-D. Z-ONE then decides to settle things in a duel, and if Yusei wins, the Center Gear would stop working (the Center Gear is really the key Ener-D generator, which is the main source of power for the Ark Cradle's overall Ener-D Generator), and the Ark Cradle would disappear for real. Yusei then agrees on those terms, but as he prepares to face Z-ONE, Aporia appears. Though badly damaged, Aporia challenges Z-ONE to a duel instead, having learnt from his previous duel with Leo that he has always had hope, and he also tells Z-ONE that he has found hope from his fights with Team 5D's, unlike Z-ONE.

To make matters worse, at the rate that the Ark Cradle is descending towards New Domino city, they have only 12 hours to stop the Ark Cradle until it reaches the city, and unleashes a massive blast of negative Ener-D, which will destroy New Domino, Satellite, and everything else within the surrounding areas (which is basically everything within 30 miles if the Ark Cradle), which would be another Zero Reverse event on a much larger scale, while the time to evacuate everybody within those areas is predicted to take at least 20 hours. They also learn that when the Ark Cradle hits ground level, the impact would create a deadly shock wave. They also descover that the Ener-D generator of the Ark Cradle is producing negative energy, and is using that to cause all of New Domino City's Ener-D generators to spin in reverse, which shuts down all Ener-D powered devices in the city.
