Minus World, Search for the White Lion Regulus is the forty eight episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.

Luna wanders through the streets of Minus searching for Regulus, however ends up being chased by an army of monkey spirits. Meanwhile Leo's duel against Demak continues, as Leo eventually synchro summons Power Tool Dragon.

Summary

Demak prompts Leo to begin his turn, although he forsees for Leo is pain. He reminds him that surrendering is option. Leo blatantly rejects the offer, denouncing that he must protect Luna and begins his turn.

Leo draws "Morphtronic Magnen I". He Normal Summons it in Defense Mode and Sets 1 card in his Spell & Trap Card Zone. As he ends his turn, he promises Luna he'll defeat Demak.

Meanwhile in the Duel Monsters Spirit World, Luna makes haste in her rescue mission, thinking she must free Ancient Fairy Dragon quickly and return her own world in order to prevent danger falling on Leo. Luna remembers Ancient Fairy Dragon telling her to meet up with Regulus. In the distance, she sees a nearby town.

She and Kuribon enter the town. The town is seemingly abandoned and the streets are lined with strange staffs. A number of sprites, with worried eyes, peer around corners at her. Luna spots them and asks what they are doing. As she makes her way over to them, they turn and flee.

Unable to get near any of the inhabitants, Luna sits down to think, but Kuribon diverts her attention to a ball that is ouncing up a flight of steps. Luna thens spots leaves rising off the ground and reconnecting to a tree. She wonders if everything is backwards in this world and draws her attention to one of the staffs.

One of the sprites alerts the town that someone is coming to taek over the spirits world. As everyone else flees, a black mist makes its way into the square. Luna and Kuribon quickly hide. A number of monkey soldiers armed with the staffs then emerge from the mist. They begins to search the area for spirits.

While Luna hides in an alley, wondering what those monkeys were, her Deck starts to glow. She senses that the spirts in her cards are scared. As she tries to comfort them, a group of townspeople run past her alley. The monkey that was chasing them spots Luna. Kuribon runs out past the monkey, followed by Sunlight Unicorn and Sunny Pixie, who emerge from her Deck. The monkey raises its staff and fires blasts as the spirits, sealing them in stone tablets, identical in design to Duel Monsters' cards. However their Level Stars are reversed, giving them all Negative Levels. One of the monkeys looks at Kuribon and asks how it feels to be a Minus.

One of the monkeys spots Luna, prompting her to run. As she goes past windows, her reflections are al upside down, rather than reversed. She reaches a dead end and starts to panic. One of the stones lining the ground is lifted up and a spirit inside perrs out and invites Luna in.

Demak begins his turn. He uses "Magician's Ape's" effect, discarding "Fighter's Ape" to take contrl of "Morphtronic Magnen I". "Magician's Ape" aises its staff, which is identical to the ones Luna sees in the spirits' world, and uses its Cursed Needle effect to move "Morphtronic Magnen i" to Demak's side of the field.

Trudge thinks this is bad, but Yusei sees what Leo is doing. leo laughs that Demak fell for it. With "Magnen I" in Defense Mode, his monsters can't attack. With that in mind, Demak Releases it to Summon "Fighter's Ape". He proceeds to attack Leo directly with "Fighter's Ape", but Leo activates "Remake Puzzle", destroying "Morphtronic Magnen", which is on Demak's side of the field and ending the Battle Phase. He then gets to Special Summons a "Morphtronic" monster with a lower Level than "Magnen". He selects "Magnen I" and the pieces of the deestroyed "Magnen" merge together to form "Magnen I". Demak ends his turn.

Nearby, Akiza, Mina and Jack can see the Monkey geoglyph in the sky. However Akiza and Jack notice they are getting no reaction from their birthmarks and wonder if it's a non-Signer that is facing the Dark Signer.

In the spirit's world, after the monkeys clear off, Luna and her rescuer emerge from the hidden hole. Despite the spirit's height it displays the traits of a nagging adult, saying that a little girl such as Luna shouldn't be entering this world and asks what would have happened if he hadn't been there to save her. Luna replies by pointing out that he is also just a child. The spirit says that his name is Torenka and he is really old.

As they hide inside a buiding, Luna asks if the villagers are all Spellcaster spirits. Torenka tells her that that is true and everyone else has been captured. He managed to escape, but because of the Minus Curse, everyone has been turned into a child. He explains how the people of the village used to use their abilities to help each other, but after something strange appeared in the sky. The evil beings began to turn the spirits into minus energy and using the Cursed Needle and the MInus Curse, they turned spirits into stone.

Luna then asks Torenka if knows Regulus. Torenka looks at her funny and questions how she knows that name. After Luna explains that she has come to save Ancient Fairy Dragon, Torenka asks her if she is a Signer. Torenka is reluctant to help her find Regulus and explains that it's too dangereous to meet him right now, as he has been acting strange lately; he has been naring his fangs at anyone who approaches him. Torenka assumes that he is troubled over not being able to protect Ancient Fairy Dragon.
