Storyline

The story is based on the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime. It starts after the conclusion of the Fortune Cup deep within the Arcadia Movement. The Dark Signers are seeking supremecy over New Domino City and the Satellite.

The Duel Monsters Spirit World is overrun by Zeman and his monkey troop. In a dream, the player ventures to this world and meets Luna, who asks if the player is there to rescue her. Together they meet Torunka and Luna explains that she was sent by Ancient Fairy Dragon to find Regulus. However when they find Regulus, he believes that they intend to use Ancient Fairy Dragon's powers for evil purposes.

The protagonist awakes from a mind-control pod overseen by Sayer. Though it is kept a secret from other members of Arcadia Movement, it is revealed that the protagonist is not actually a Psychic Duelist and is in fact a former member of The Enforcers. The player is then put inside a room with 2 guys named Okita and Liquid. The player has to duel Okita before continuing the storyline. after the duel, Sayer walks into the room and orders the player, Okita and Liquid to go to the Stadium where the Fortune Cup is being held.

The player then has to finish a Box Duel Puzzle to get to the entrance of the stadium, and there the player finds out that Akiza has lost her duel against Yusei Fudo. Sayer seems to be OK with the result, but Lazar wants to take Akiza from Sayer, for Rex Goodwin needs her. Sayer takes her back to the Arcadia movement and leaves Okita, Liquid and the player to deal with the guards and Lazar. After the duel, the player is ordered to go to the west of the Arcadia Headquarters to complete their Duel training, which consists of 3 Duel Puzzles and 3 Structure Deck duels. After the Duel Training, the player is ordered to undergo Duel Runner Training. After the Duel Runner training, the player runs into Yusei, which seems to bring back ancient memories of a time where the player and Yusei were friends. Liquid takes the player back to the Headquarters, and then the second chapter begins.

After defeating several different Duel Gangs and uniting most of Satellite under their control, Kalin lets the power go to his head, ostracizing his friends and saying that he now wishes to take on all the Securities. Shortly afterwards, Kalin is captured by the Securities and the Enforcers break up. The protagonist, who has a connection to the Spirit World similar to Luna's, is captured by Sayer and put through a brainwashing regiment.

Back in the present, as the brainwashing wears off, the protagonist's connection to the spirit world causes him to receive a distress call from the spirit of a mage, Torunka. As he sleeps, he enters the Spirit World and has to navigate through a forest filled with Minus Staves that cause the Minus Curse, an effect that reverses natural phenomena. Torunka, formerly an elderly wizard but now trapped in the form of a child, helps the protagonist rescue Luna from the castle of Zeman the Ape King. Torunka gives the player his staff (which manifests in the waking world too) and this allows him to escape the clutches of Arcadia Movement along with Luna.

Sayer, attempting to recapture the player and Luna, as they are in the Arcadia Movement and are trying to escape, and stop Yusei, who is also in Arcadia Movement to rescue Akiza, is attacked by the Dark Signer version of Carly, who he killed moments before. Meanwhile, Akiza is assaulted by Dark Signer Misty. When the player discovers Akiza being assaulted by Misty, Sayer is seen falling from the top deck of the Arcadia Movement, just like the anime. Then, outside of the building it shows Jack and Mina and Jack finds Carly's glasses on the ground.

All the main characters recover at Blister's hideout, while Blister asks the protagonist to deliver a package (this introduces the protagonist to the rest of the DAIMON area of the city). Not long after, their hideout is attacked by people wearing the Spider Mark of those under the control of the Dark Signers (really Roman, but they don't know that). Afterwards, they are invited to Rex Goodwin's mansion, where Rex explains the destiny of the Signers and their enemies, the Dark Signers, who will use various towers erected around the Old Enerdy System in the B.A.D. Area to summon the King of the Underworld to destroy everything. It is postulated that the player character is the Fifth Signer due to his connection to the Spirit World, but this is denied by Rex Goodwin, who says that the fifth Signer already knows who he is and will reveal himself when the time is right.

The significance of being Signers is denied by several of the group, but it is revealed that their signature dragon cards are each keys that can be used to shut down the towers in the B.A.D. Area; Akiza's Black Rose Dragon, Yusei's Stardust Dragon, Jack's Red Dragon Archfiend and Luna's stolen Ancient Fairy Dragon.

The next day, the Dark Signers issue their formal challenge to their respective rivals; Kalin, who wishes revenge upon Yusei for abandoning him to the Securities, Misty, who blames Akiza for her brother's death, and Carly, who taunts her boyfriend Jack Atlas. If they are not defeated and their towers in the Old Enerdy System sealed, the King of the Underworld will rise within 24 hours. Before heading off to stop them, Luna begs the protagonist to go to the Spirit World with her to free the spirit of the Ancient Fairy Dragon from Zeman the Ape King, which is needed to seal the fourth tower.

After you arrive in the Spirit World, you run directly to the Ape King's castle and have to defeat him in a duel to free Ancient Fairy Dragon. Afterwards, you are returned to the human world by Torunka, only to find Leo losing to Devack. You and Luna take him on in a traingle duel, and beat him. You seal off the Enerdy System Tower, and Luna and Leo run off. You hang around, until Greiger rolls up. You have to defeat him in a duel, but you can only do so after he summons his Earthbound Immortal. Once you win, you must race to Yusei and Kalin's location while dodging the attacks of Kalin's own Earthbound Immortal. Once you arrive, You find Yusei trying to repair the Duel Runner that gave out on him. You duel Kalin while Yusei fixes his Duel Runner, and both of you have to start the duel without any cards in your hand. This is a distinct advantage for Kalin, because he uses Infernity cards.

Once you win against the Dark Signers you'll duel Roman Goodwin. He tells you that the King of the Underworld wil rise in 20 turns, so the protagonist must beat him by then.

After you beat Roman you are teleported to Rex Goodwin's mansion where you must fight Lazar to get into the mansion. Once inside, Goodwin reveals himself as both a Dark Signer and later a Signer. The player must then catch up to him in a Duel Runner, defeat him in a triangle duel with Yusei, and a Turbo Duel. The Crimson Dragon then abandons Goodwin, and chooses the player as the fifth Signer. The player then defeats Goodwin in one last duel.

These four cards are used by Trudge in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime.

Bugs

• "Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union" and "Blue Medicine's" card descriptions use their old misprinted English texts. Although their effects work correctly. (See also: Card Errata:Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union and Card Errata:Blue Medicine.)

• "Flamvell Firedog's" effect is misprinted; it says that it Summons a monster from the Graveyard, not the Deck. However, the card still works as it should.

• Sometimes the music played when a monster with a Summoning cut-scene ("Judgment Dragon", "Dark Armed Dragon", etc.) is Summoned will play twice.

• Also, in CPU Tag Duel, when you and your partner Duel another Team, your partner's duel rating is 0.

• When you buy the Acceleration 1st & 2nd Gears (If you have the US version of the game or have the Japanese version and play it in English), the booster pack Japanese names are still there. This also happens when you view a card. For example, you view Hundred-Eyes Dragon, but you can see the Japanese name.

• Speed Spell - "Soul Release" features the OCG art.
