Following Sect's victory over Akiza, Roman leaves with Sect into the Aerial Fortress Seibal.<ref name="ch42">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|42|ref}}</ref>
Encountering Yusei in the Northern Sky Corridor, Roman explains to Yusei about what happened to Sect and Akiza and what he must do in order to reach them. Noting that he lost the last time they met, Roman makes sure that it won't happen the same way again.<ref name="ch45">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|45|ref}}</ref> Yusei is eventually able to defeat "Underworld Dragon Dragonecro," and the Skeleton Knight complimented him on his growth, wondering if Sect's situation had drawn out his power. <ref name="ch48">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|48|ref}}</ref> He decided to unleash his full power, bringing out "[[Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon (manga)|Underworld Flood Dragon Dragocutos]]" and almost defeating Yusei, but Yusei was able to hold on with "[[Stardust Spark Dragon (manga)|Stardust Spark Dragon]]." <ref name="ch49">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|49|ref}}</ref> The Skeleton Knight ended his turn, poised to win on his next turn with the effect of "Dragocutos," but Yusei was able to defeat him by combining "Stardust's" effect with "[[Phoenix Battle Wing]]s." Impressed by Yusei, claiming that he was indeed the warrior that he'd recognized, the Skeleton Knight took his loss gratefully. <ref name="ch50">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|50|ref}}</ref> Afterwards, Yusei asked the Knight what he'd seen in his memories.Roman revealed his name and his history with Ish and Rex, and begged Yusei to save Rex if [[Jack Atlas (manga)|Jack]] could not. The Machine Temple began to collapse, and Roman mused that it had been worth waiting 5000 years for a warrior like Yusei. Roman died in the wreckage, content with the knowledge that he had passed on Ish's last request to the next warrior and reunited with Ish's spirit at last.<ref name="ch51">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's|51|ref}}</ref>
