Declan versucht, Celina auf seine Seite zu ziehen, aber das gelingt ihm nicht, denn sie hat ganz andere Pläne. Yuya und Zuzu sind mit ihrem Turnier beschäftigt und merken gar nicht, was sich gerade zusammenbraut …
Declan and Selena recall that they once met each other three years ago when Declan accidentally stumbled into Duel Academy. Declan came across Selena and helped her to escape from some of Leo's guards, but they were soon caught by Leo, who took Selena away before explaining everything about the different dimensions to Declan before sending him back to Standard. As Declan tries to reason with Selena, who wants to prove her worth to Leo by defeating Xyz Duelists, Barrett activates a device on his Duel Disk, alerting Duel Academy to his position before teleporting back there, while Selena takes her leave. Back at Duel Academy, Leo sends Sora on a mission to capture Selena. The next day, Yuya and the other remaining duelists learn that the championship's third round will be a Battle Royale across the entire city, in which duelists can obtain Pendulum Cards. This is revealed to be a plan by Declan to distract the Junior Youth duelists while the Youth class fight against any invaders.
Declan affronta Celina e condivide una storia del loro passato che rivela un futuro spaventoso!
