Believing in the Kite that Yuto told him about, Yuya decided to talk Kite out of his anger by Dueling, just as [[Jack Atlas (ARC-V)|Jack Atlas]] had taught him. Yuto became worried about Yuya's safety and understood Kite's feelings as a fellow comrade scarred by the invasion. He tried to warn Yuya that Kite would not listen and continued to stay conscious to watch over Yuya and step in if he needed to.<ref name="ep101" />
Finally deciding to help, Yuto quickly instructed Yuya to use the effects of "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon". Understanding that he was still not strong enough but still wanting to open up Kite's heart regardless of his and Yuya's current strength, Yuto finally came up with this tactic: Dueling together with Yuya, both of them [[Xyz Summon]]ed "[[Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon (anime)|Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon]]", shocking Kite. By Summoning his ace monster, Yuto tried to remind Kite of him during their days at [[Heartland Duel School]]. Yuto's strong presence within Yuya allowed Kite to realize that they looked similar, causing Kite to think Yuya was Yuto. Before the Duel could continue, Shay arrived with [[Saya Sasayama]] and [[Allen KozukiAlan]] to clear up the misunderstanding. Despite Shay's assurance that Yuya and the others were allies, Kite remained defiant and left the scene.<ref name="ep102"/>

At [[the Resistance]]'s [[Duel Sanctuary (ARC-V)|new hideout]], both Yuya and Yuto were lamenting over their inability to open Kite's heart, only feeling Kite's anger throughout their Duel even after they Summoned "Dark Rebellion". Allen Alan commented on Yuya's resemblance to Yuto, even starting to think that Yuya might actually Yuto himself by the fact that he used "Dark Rebellion" until Shay cleared up the confusion. Allen Alan questioned Yuto's whereabouts since he was supposed to be following Shay to [[Standard Dimension]] but was now absent. Before Yuya could answer, Yuto told him not to reveal that he was inside him because no one would understand their condition, something that Yuya reluctantly agreed to. Fortunately, Shay explained that Yuto had suddenly vanished and then entrusted "Dark Rebellion" to Yuya, whom at first Shay suspected for stealing the card. However, after watching Yuya throughout their battle in the [[Synchro Dimension]], he came to believe that Yuto had indeed entrusted his ace monster to Yuya and understood why he did so, something that relieved both Yuto and Yuya. Their relief was cut short when, to Yuto and Yuya's shock, Allen Alan and Saya revealed that while they were gone, Duel Academy had launched a massive offensive attack that destroyed most of the Spade and Clover Branch Resistance Duelists and residents, including Kite's whole family.<ref name="ep103" />
Yuya visited Yuto's former Duel school, the Spade Branch, and asked Yuto if he knew his father. When Yuto denied it, Yuya pressed on that he was lying, as otherwise without meeting Yusho, Yuto would not be talking about smiles during his last moments in his physical form. Yuto revealed that his speech to Yuya at that time was a result of what he heard from Lulu during the early days of the invasion before Lulu's capture. Yuto asserted that Lulu became a disciple of Yusho Sakaki's teachings and philosophy through Saya, who was at the Clover Branch with Yusho. The conversation switched back to the time when all four dragons were gathered at the same spot. Yuto and Yuya revealed their awareness of a powerful [[Z-ARC|unknown force]] affecting their Awakened State, and Yuto informed Yuya that the dragons tried to be one and his residence in Yuya's body may have to do with Dark Rebellion, to Yuya's alarm.<ref name="ep104"/>
