Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2011: Over the Nexus is the third Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's game for the Nintendo DS and the fifth World Championship game for the Nintendo DS.

Features[edit]

Story[edit]

The storyline of Over the Nexus does not immediately tie into that of the anime, unlike the previous two games. The player more or less keeps to their separate plot until the story reaches the halfway point, where it starts using events from the WRGP arc of the anime. As EXVC cards are not present in the card database, the plot simply ends where Aporia would have been introduced into the story.

Chapter 1 - The Beginning - The Frontier Lands, Crash Town[edit]

The story starts in the deserted Crash Town. The player has a dream of becoming the best duelist, but they are awakened by Klaus who reminds them not to chase these lofty dreams. The player heads to Nico and West's hideout, where they duel to pass the time until the nearby card shop opens.

The card shop is hosting a Rental Deck Tournament, where participants face off using pre-made Decks. One contestant has yet to arrive and so the player fills in for them. After defeating all opponents, the player heads home, only to be stopped by Bronson, the no-show participant. Bronson angrily Duels the player and is defeated, but is pleased knowing that the player won the tournament in his place.

The player finally returns home, where Klaus invites them to Satellite for a shopping trip.

Chapter 2 - The Encounter - Team Satisfaction[edit]

Toru takes the opportunity to ask the player to get some Duel Runner parts while in Satellite.

The player and Klaus split up to take care of their errands. They first meet Lilie, and agree to help her look for Crow. Crow mistakes them for a kidnapper and Duels them, and Lilie clears up the misunderstanding afterwards.

The player then continues to look for Duel Runner parts, and meets Gordon, who recommends a shop. After making the purchase, Gordon ambushes the player and steals the parts. The player gives chase, only to be stopped by gangsters along the way. However, Team Satisfaction appears and engages the gangsters, allowing for the player to pursue Gordon and retrieve the parts.

On the way out, two of the Team Satisfaction members - Yusei and Kalin - introduce themselves to the player. Yusei checks the purchased parts and realized that the player's been duped. While Yusei goes off to get functional parts, Kalin heads back to the Duel Runner shop to get Toru's money back. The player also wishes to thank the remaining member, Jack. On meeting Jack, the player gets into a duel for sport, and soon gets friendly matches with the other members of Team Satisfaction.

With Yusei's recommended parts in tow, the player returns to Crash Town.

Chapter 3 - The Turning Point - Just Me and My Duel Runner[edit]

Back at Crash Town, the player hands over Yusei's parts to Toru. Toru notes that they are of much better quality than what he asked for, and begins work on the Duel Runner. The player also relays the story to Nico and West, and Toru arrives at the hideout to announce the completion of his Duel Runner. They all head to the outskirts of the town, where Toru drives his Duel Runner around and even lets the player attempt a test drive.

Soon, Toru declares that he will be moving out of Crash Town and into New Domino City. Klaus forbids the player to go along, as he doesn't feel that they can become a successful Turbo Duelist.

A long time passes to allow for the Fortune Cup and Dark Signer arcs to take place offscreen. In the meantime, the war between Malcolm and Ramon escalates, and Nico has suddenly gone missing. The player sets out to find her and escort her home, dueling through members of the warring factions along the way. With the siblings reunited, Klaus lets them stay for the night before getting them to safety. As the player has managed to defeat three gangsters in a single day, Klaus challenges them to test their mettle.

Having confidence in his grandchild's ability, Klaus reveals a Duel Runner hidden in the basement of the player's home. He mentioned that the player's parents were Turbo Duelists who lost their lives in an accident, and he forbade the player from riding a Duel Runner out of fear of losing another family member. Klaus plans to move out of Crash Town with the player, Nico and West, but the kids decide to remain at home to accompany their father who works at the mines.

Chapter 4 - Completion - New Friends, New Partnerships[edit]

Klaus and the player arrive in New Domino City. There, the player meets a mysterious woman named Misaki who happens to know their name. Misaki duels the player to test their ability, and then leads them into her garage, where they reunite with Toru and decide to form a Riding Team. However, the player's current Duel Runner is in no condition for a Turbo Duel, and Misaki recommends that they replace the vital parts — the CPU, engine, and frame.

The player is first pointed to Bootleg, where the owner offers information if the player solves three of his five Duel Puzzles. Upon completion, the owner points the player to Blister's apartment, where the player receives the Duel Runner's CPU. Blister mentions that thrown-out parts also can be found in the underground duel arena, which is where the player finds the engine.

Upon returning to Misaki's garage, Misaki says that she found a frame in a locked scrapyard. The player sees Blister and Bolt opening the gate to the scrapyard, and Misaki challenges them to a Tag Duel for the discarded frame.

With the Duel Runner complete, Toru and the player decide to test it out the next day via a Turbo Duel. After the duel ends, Primo sees the Grand Design appearing. Lester and Jakob say he must have imagined the event, as it is not time for that yet. Back at the highway, Breo appears, infuriated at the player for using his practice course. He challenges the player to a race, and backs down when defeated. However, Toru and Misaki have pushed their Duel Runners too hard during the race and thus their machines need repairing.

Just then, Crow bumps into the player, remembering them from their meeting at Satellite. Crow offers to get Yusei to fix the Duel Runners. While Yusei prepares the parts for repairs, Klaus rushes in with a message of distress from Nico and West. As only the player's Duel Runner is functional, the player heads to Crash Town first to assess the situation.

Chapter 5 - Going Home - Memories Long Past and a Hand of Hope[edit]

Back at Crash Town, the player finds West and Nico at their hideout. The kids' father, Sergio, has suddenly disappeared after mentioning a good job opportunity from Malcolm. The player pays Malcolm a visit to ask about the kids' father. At Malcolm's house, the player duels with Seluga in order to meet Malcolm. Malcolm, having watched the duel, tests the player himself and is impressed with the player's skills. He offers the player to duel under him in exchange for information on Sergio.

The next day, the player duels against Kalin, who's chosen as Ramon's representative. After defeating Kalin, Yusei rushes out from the flower shop, telling them that they must escape the town. He requested help from Barbara. However, she revealed that she is in fact working with Malcolm, and has no intention of helping them. Upon hearing that Lawton is returning from his training, Ramon panics and leaves. Yusei, Kalin, and the player are captured and sent to work in the mine so that they will not disturb Malcolm's control over the town. While there, they meet Sergio. Yusei finds a path that leads outside, and the group decides to escape from the mine. While escaping, Sergio saves Kalin from a stray rockfall, but falls into the abyss of the mines.

The trio meets Toru and Misaki after escaping from the mine, who inform them that the town has erupted into all-out war. They then return to town in search of the kids. The player Duels and defeats Ramon, while Kalin takes down Malcolm. The player and Kalin team up to take down Lawton in a 2-vs-1 Tag Duel.

Lawton attempts to rally his lackeys, only to find that they have all been beaten by Jack and Crow. He attempts to escape, only to be cornered by Toru and Misaki. Lawton, along with the other gangsters of Crash Town, are arrested by Trudge and Mina. Peace is restored to the village, and it is renamed Satisfaction Town.

Chapter 6 - Changes - Preparing for the Tournament and a Looming Shadow[edit]

The player, Toru and Misaki decide to take part in the WRGP. After deciding on a team name, they start maintenance on their Duel Runners. They found the same tools left behind by Yusei, and ask the player to return the tools. After returning the tools at Yusei's garage, Trudge and Mina pay Yusei a visit, as well as informing them about a mysterious turbo duelist Ghost. Yusei also introduces the player to Bruno.

After returning to Toru's garage, the team decide to test run their duel runner on the highway. However, the player encounters Ghost, and is forced to duel him while witnessing the power of Meklord Emperor Wisel. After winning, Ghost leaves the highway. Toru and Misaki warn the player to be careful.

Back at the garage, Crow introduces the team to Akiza, a newly initiated Turbo Duelist. They decide to have a few Turbo Duels with each other to let Akiza get the hang of Turbo Duels and her Duel Runner. While racing, a mysterious Turbo Duelist appears and tells the player that he/she has to evolve his/her Synchro Summon in order to defeat the Meklords. The Turbo Duelist then leaves without a word.

A few days later, Klaus complains about Toru's duel runner being noisy at night. The player goes off to investigate, only to find that Toru's Duel Runner is stolen. As the player relays the information to Yusei, he/she also finds out that Jack's Duel Runner is also stolen. Trudge and Mina inform the player of a sudden recent surge of Duel Runner parts on sale in Satellite, and the player sets off to investigate this.

He/she goes to the shop that sold him/her fake parts years ago, and duels the shopkeeper for information on the Duel Runner parts. He reveals that he bought the parts from Syd. At the port, the player overhears two of Syd's henchmen, Ida and Kameno talking about selling Jack's duel runner. Upon getting discovered, Jack arrives and helps the player defeat Syd and his henchmen. Syd tries to escape, but is thwarted and taken away by Mina and Trudge. They help to send Toru's and Jack's Duel Runners back to their garage.

Several days later, at the garage, Akiza arrives, looking for opponents to spar with. Misaki, however, is busy working on a new duel runner program. Akiza mentions that Bruno can help with his skill in programming, and expresses her annoyance at how Yusei has been dedicating his time to working with Bruno. Bruno agrees to assist with the program, and Yusei goes off to apologize to Akiza. As the player leaves, he/she meets Leo and Luna who happen to be looking for Yusei. Jack also mentions that Bruno has finished the program for his team.

The next day, the team decide to test the new Start Dash program at the combat lane. However, Jack shows up and forces the player to duel with him. After defeating him, it is revealed that the opponent is actually an imposter. The real Jack shows up and decides to hunt down the culprit.

Meanwhile, the Grand Design appears, and the Three Pure Nobles start to put their plan into action.

Final Chapter - To the Future - State of the WRGP and the World[edit]

The WRGP finally begins. In the first match against Team Unicorn, Breo defeats Toru by causing him to Deck-out. Misaki defeats Breo, but is defeated by Andre. The player then duels with Andre, and eventually Jean, and win the first round. The next day, the team goes against Team Catastrophe. Toru defeats the first duelist, Hans. Hermann, the second duelist, causes Toru to crash his Duel Runner. The player take over Toru, and defeated Hermann and the last duelist, Nicolas. Nicolas, however, tries to crash the player's Duel Runner, but he ends up crashing instead due to Primo.

The next day, Yusei congratulates the team on winning the first two rounds. He informs the player that Crow is practicing on the highway, and the player goes to practice with him. While riding on the highway, the player is transported into a desert with a large stone tablet is in front of him/her. After hearing a voice, he/she is given a "Blank Card". The Emperors notice this and wonder why the player would be subject to this.

The next day, Toru and the player are training when suddenly the city is invaded by many Ghosts. Misaki, sensing this, transforms into the mysterious Turbo Duelist from before and drives off. The player is being chased by a group of Ghosts, who activates the Battle Royal mode. After escaping from the group of Ghosts, the player meets Primo, who combines with his Duel Runner and challenges the player, while the player's companions step up to take care of the remaining Ghosts. After Primo is defeated, Jakob and Lester appear to the player, Yusei and Jack, and explain their intention of changing the future by destroying New Domino City. When Jack and Yusei express their discontent with this future, Jakob tells them to continue winning in the WRGP to see if they truly can avert this fate.

Back at the garage, the group finds out that the history had been altered. A new team, Team New World, is participating in the WRGP. With Toru and Crow injured from the Diablo attack, Yusei, Jack and the player form a new Team 5D's to participate in the WRGP.

During the day of the WRGP, the team is up against Team Sherry, a team with only two members. Sherry LeBlanc, the team leader, explains that she is after Iliaster for revenge. After Yusei is defeated by Elsworth, the player takes over for him and defeats both Elsworth and Sherry. Sherry decides that her desire for revenge alone is not enough, and encourages Team 5D's to take down Iliaster.

Before the next race, the player is greeted with a heated argument between Jack and Harald. Harald mentions that his team, Team Ragnarok, are destined to defeat the Iliaster, but they refuse to work with Team 5D's due to Yusei's past. The team faces off against Team Ragnarok. Dragan manages to defeat Jack. The player, however, defeats Dragan, and eventually Brave and Harald, thus defeating Team Ragnarok. Harald, too, encourages Team 5D's to take up their cause of defeating Iliaster.

Toru, Misaki, and Team 5D's cheering the player on.

The next day, the final round of the WRGP against Team New World begins. Primo defeats both Yusei and Jack without even taking a scratch. When it is the player's turn, the "Blank Card" turns into three Synchro Monster Cards: "Ally of Justice Decisive Armor", "Trident Dragion" and "Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier". The game then takes the player to the Deck Edit menu, granting them the opportunity to add these new cards to the Deck. With Team 5D's cheering on, the player continues to defeat the entire Team New World on their own.

The player reappears with Lester and Primo inside the room inside the Divine Temple in which Z-one is seen in in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime. Having seen humanity's potential, Team New World resigns from their plan to destroy New Domino City and tells the player to carve their own future. The player reappears in the pits, with the Blank Card returning to its original state. Then, after discussing the future with Yusei and Jack, Team 5D's does a victory lap.

The game skips forward a few days and the player's WRGP team are talking about their futures. The player goes to the pits, where Toru begins dueling Crow in an exclusive final round of the WRGP. Misaki turns to the player and a picture of Misaki smiling appears on the top screen. She thanks the player for saving the future - The credits roll, and the game ends.

Special rules[edit]

In the 5D's Story Mode, some duels have special rules, a condition that is applied to both players or one of them. The following Special Rules are applied:

WRGP Duels[edit]

The WRGP rules are similar to the anime. When a player loses, the next player will take over and retain the same cards on the field. The winning player's Deck is not shuffled, meaning the first Duelist in each WRGP Duel will always draw the same cards. If a player draws the five "Exodia" pieces they will instantly win all of the battles against the team. However, if a card like "Speed Spell - Gold Sarcophagus" is used, and the current opponent loses before the card is added to the controller's hand, it will not be added, after the correct turn count.

Bugs[edit]

Card programming errors[edit]

  • Reeze, Whirlwind of Gusto is incorrectly able to target any monster you control to give to your opponent, not just Gusto monsters.
  • "Speed Spell - Faustian Bargain" can target any monster on the field, not just ones that were Special Summoned.
  • "Unibird's" effect normally requires another monster and the card itself to be removed from play, but there is a bug that makes possible for the player to only remove Unibird from the game to bring a level 2 Synchro Monster like "Formula Synchron" from the Graveyard.
  • The "Vylon Element" loop combo can't be done in this game, it will miss the timing instead.
  • The copy of "Lightning Warrior" featured in the Starter Decks is not registered by the game as a card the player obtained. If the player saves a Deck Recipe that does not have "Lightning Warrior" and then leaves the Deck Editor screen, it will disappear from their Trunk and they will not be able to use the card. This bug is solved by obtaining another copy of "Lighting Warrior" in any way. Note that loading a Deck Recipe with "Lightning Warrior" will make the card reappear.
    • This also applies to the three Synchro Monsters automatically obtained before the match against Team New World - the player is supposed to not keep the cards and they will disappear if the player exits the Deck Editor with the cards not being in their Extra Deck or Side Deck, but saving a Deck Recipe that has any of those cards will let the player keep them.

Card text errors[edit]

  • The game uses the text of "The Lady in Wight" from its original printing in Light of Destruction, making it erroneously state it protects Level 3 or lower Zombie-Type monsters on your field. It actually protects them on both fields, and the effect works correctly.
  • "Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon", "Manga Ryu-Ran", "Toon Mermaid" and "Toon Summoned Skull" have a grammar error stating "If a face-up "Toon" monster is on your opponent's side of the field, your must select the "Toon" monster as an attack target.
  • "Laval Judgment Lord" effect says "Laval Lord Judgment".
  • "Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier" is spelled as "Trishula, Dragon of the Ice barrier".
  • The effect of "Nimble Musasabi" reads "You can also Special Summon up to 2 "Nimble Musasabi" to you opponent's side of the field", using "you" instead of "your".
  • All card text errors present on Speed Spells in Reverse of Arcadia remain the same in this game, and some new errors are also added.
    • "Speed Spell - Insect Imitation" misspells "tributing" as "tributint".
    • "Speed Spell - Pot of Duality" mentions the player can only activate 1 "Pot of Duality" per turn, rather than 1 "Speed Spell - Pot of Duality" per turn. The Japanese text correctly refers to the Speed Spell's own name, and only 1 copy of the card can be activated per turn in all versions.

Gameplay errors[edit]

  • When starting a Duel, or when switching between the themes that mark one player having a drastic Life Point advantage over the other, sometimes the music will not start until a later turn.
  • As in Stardust Accelerator, certain parts of the dialogue when playing as a female character refer to the player as "him", "he", etc.
  • When not abbreviated, the WRGP is spelled as "World Riding Gran Prix".
  • When viewing a replay or when Recipe Dueling, the Duel music is set to either the title screen music of this game or the person the player last dueled.
  • Sometimes when a monster with an animated Summon sequence, such as "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" is Summoned, the card's name will be flickering.
  • When viewing a replay of dueling 3-4 duelists (through a Dueling Simulator or WRGP), the player's life points are set to zero, but the duel goes on as usual.
  • During the WRGP duels, if the player uses an alternative artwork of a card obtained from Kazuhiro, the artwork of the card will change in-between duels. For example, if the player uses Cyber Dragon with its artwork from Duelist Pack: Zane Truesdale, the artwork will change to that from Cybernetic Revolution. This is a minor error that should not affect the Duel itself.
  • During the WRGP duels, when either player activates a card (e.g. "Magic Cylinder") and the player defeats the CPU at the same time, the card will uselessly remain on the field. However, the CPU will not register the card has already been activated and has no further effect, so it might try to destroy them.
  • During the WRGP duels, if a player uses a card that changes control of a Monster for only one turn, it will stay on the player's field for the rest of the continued duels if the player defeats his/her opponent on the same turn. This is because the End Phase of that turn will never occur.
  • If a Monster with Piercing Damage attacks a Set Monster and the Damage would result in the opponent's loss, the "Final Attack" text will still be said when declaring the attack.
  • When purchasing the Starter Deck modeled after Starter Deck 2010, the description will mention "Road Warrior" instead of "Junk Destroyer".

Starting Decks[edit]

The player begins the game with two Decks: one for Ground Duels, and one for Turbo Duels.

Promotional cards[edit]

A set of three promotional cards are included with the game. These cards were used by Sherry LeBlanc (hence the french names) in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime[7] and are as follows:

Blue Rose Dragon is a promotional card with the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's World Championship 2011 - Over the Nexus Strategy Guide.
