Plot
At Paradise City's You Show Duel School, a second year high school student named Yuya Sakaki aspires to become a professional Dueltainer. Yuya awakened a new power called the Summoning Pendulum, which caught the attention of Leo Corporation president, Declan Akaba. Yuya then meets with three Duelist who are very similar to her: Duelist Xyz collected, Yuto absently absorbed she, who over belief in Duelist Sinker Yugo, and the sadistic Yuri Fusion shaman. This resemblance comes from a dimension other than the Yuya Standard Dimension as he and his friends find themselves in the midst of an interdimensional conflict against the Duel Fusion Dimension Academy, which Yuri attended. The Duel Academy is led by Declan's estranged father, Leo Akaba, who seeks to unite the four dimensions. Declan forms a group of elite duelist called Lancers to stop his father, while they build their numbers during their journey to Sync and Dimension Xyz.
Gradually recognizing the dark presence swelled inside him for absorbing Yuto, Yuya learns he has a strong psychic connection to him, Yugo, and Yuri that happens whenever the dragon calls them to call each other. Yuya and his friends also realize that Leo is trying to capture Yuya's childhood friend Zuzu Boyle and a member of Fusion Dimension from Lancers, Celina, because they are identical to Obsidian Lulu Xyz Dimension and Rin from the captured Dimensions of Sync. Arriving at the Fusion Dimension to rescue Celina, Zuzu was also arrested with Yuya and Lancers who infiltrated the Duel Academy to rescue the girls. When they confront Leo, he reveals the four dimensions used to become one world until the day of a crazy duelist named Zarc trying to destroy everything. Leo intends to stop Zarc with the special En Card he made. Her daughter, Ray, stole the cards and sacrificed herself as her successor to defeat Zarc while breaking the world into four dimensions.
Leo reveals that Zarc is the darkness in Yuya and his comrades, who are also the remnants of Zarc's scattered essence, which has forced them to absorb each other so that Zarc can be re-formed and take revenge. Only Ray, who had been reincarnated as Zuzu and his comrades, had unconsciously prevented Zarc's attempts to bounce back before Leo made the girls kidnapped. Leo intends to merge them back to his daughter and reunite the 4 dimensions into the Original Dimension using his Arc-V Reactor. However, the reactor could not fully recover Ray's physical form as Leo had planned for lack of life energy. After Yuri absorbs Yugo, Zarc takes advantage of the turn of events by taking over Yuya's body and making it absorb Yuri willingly to complete his resurrection. Yuya's friends all proceed to challenge Zarc in a series of two-on-one duel to stop him while reaching Yuya. With Ray having Declan's adopted sister, Riley, to fight Zarc, Yuya manages to regain himself to help Ray defeat Zarc with En Cards who divide the dimensions once more.
When Yuya woke up in the Standard Dimension having been reborn as a Pendulum Dimension, he has no memory of his experience across dimensions or Zuzu until Declan recovered his memories and all others by re-imagining the Arc League Championship. Declan reveals that Riley used a moment in dimensional differences to transfer the essence of Zarc from Yuya to himself to keep the evil spirit from spreading in dimensions again. Riley turned into a catatonic girl as a consequence of her actions. Declan is afraid that Zarc can finally take over Riley's body and continue his tantrum again. Yuya is told that only he, as Zarc's essence, can stop Zarc by using his Dueltaining skills to make Riley smile and soothe possessing spirits. Yuya continued on to another dimension and defeated other Lancers with Riley watching the recording. On his way, Yuya finds Zuzu and his comrades still inside the Arc-V Reactor in a dormant state. Although his colleagues helped him tame the Four Dragons, Yuya learned he was not making progress with Riley. He convinces Declan to let him take a professional duelist test after he's promoted to Senior class, and Declan becomes his opponent. Learning who Zarc is in his life, Yuya and his colleagues defeated Declan and calmed their past peers. This action arouses Ray, who appears in the Pendulum Dimension and rises again as Zuzu, with his comrades now part of him, similar to Yuya's case. The two are finally reunited, and the four dimensions are once again united into one.

Settings
Standard Dimensions
The Standard Dimension, which is then reborn as the Pendulum Dimension , is the dimension where Paradise City is located. This is the main setting in the first season. Initially having only Tribute Calling users, Standard Dimensions now contain all three Fusion, Sync, and Xyz invocation methods, introduced to him by Leo Akaba and Leo Corporation. This dimension is known for its unique Action Dueling, which uses the Real Solid Vision System to give mass to its hologram and allows Duelist to interact with their monsters and artificial environment created. The Real Solid Vision System is a form that evolved from the original Solid Vision System, which has only an invisible hologram. After the battle against Zarc, the Standard Dimension is reborn as a Pendulum Dimension where everyone can now use the Pendulum Calling
Sync Dimensions
The Dimension of Sync is the dimension in which all occupants use Sync Dialing. It paid homage to Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's . The setting is City, which serves as the second season setting. The city thrives in a free competition society consisting of two classes. The elite 1% class, Tops, is an upper-class society that lives in wealth, while the poor are the lower classes of 99% of people living in poverty under the Tops region. Discrimination against Commons is high, and they are treated as a tool to enable Tops to live rich. In a revolt against their limited freedom, Commons began to duel while riding D-Wheels, which was a motorcycle combined with Duel Disks. This duel came to be known as Riding Duels. Cities are governed by an Administrative Council that upholds the law and Security who acts as a police officer to the Boss. To keep the city calm, the Administrative Council held an annual Friendship Cup, in which Duelis from Tops and Commons can duel at D-Wheels. However, the losers are sent to underground refineries with little or no chance of returning to the surface. After Yuya's duel against Jack in the final of the Friendlies Cup, the Administrative Council retired and the social class system was abolished. Some characters from the 5D's series reappear as opposed to different dimensions, primarily the main characters, Jack Atlas and Crow Hogan.
Dimension Xyz
The Xyz dimension is the dimension in which all residents use Xyz Summoning. It paid homage to Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal . The arrangement is Heartland City, which serves as the first half of the third season setting. Heartland City was reduced to the ruins of the invasion by the Duel Academia Fusion Dimension with the remaining survivors forming the Heartland City-based Resistance group that was destroyed into their base. Before the invasion, there were two branches of the Heartland Duel School called the Spade Branch and Clover Branch, both of which became the main force for the Resistance group. The Spade Branch was wiped clean later. Kite Tenjo is one of the main characters of Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL , which makes reappearance as a world partner different from the ZEXAL series.
Dimension Fusion
Fusion Dimension is the dimension in which its inhabitants all use Fusion Calling. It paid homage to Yu-Gi-Oh! GX . It serves as the second half of the third season setting. When Leo came to Fusion Dimension after regaining his memory, he founded the militant-based Duel Academia and gathered many powerful Duelis of all dimensions to achieve his goal of incarnation of Ray. The students of Duel Academia are mostly children taken from other families at the age of one year. They are forced to remain on campus to be trained as child soldiers until the Arc-Area Project is completed. Those who qualify from Duel Academia are labeled as traitors and will be converted into cards as punishment. Asuka Tenjoin and Edo Phoenix are the two main characters of GX, which make their appearance as different partners in this dimension.
Original Dimensions
The Original Dimension, also known as the Unified World, is a futuristic utopia, the original form of the Four Dimensions and where the Real Solid Vision System really originated. When Zarc starts rampaging, Ray uses his father's En Cards to pierce this reality, dividing Zarc's existence and making him harmless by sacrificing himself in the process. Leo's goal was to restore the Original Dimension as a new dimension he renamed ARC-V , combining the four dimensions and combining Yuzu and his partner with the ARC-V machine he had created, powered by the life- the person who turned into a card, so that his daughter Ray could be reborn. After Ray uses En Cards to divide the world back into four dimensions, Reiji reveals the dimensions are still connected by the remnants of the active ARC-V functioning as a wormhole, with the essence of Ray still in the reactor core in the Fusion dimension until Yuya soothes Zarc.
