Unable to withstand his sisters' teasing any longer, Yu-yu ran away from home and was brought to an abandoned amusement park by a member of Team Blackout. And that is also where Danji is aiming to get his 20th consecutive win, with Tohya standing in his way for that record.

Yu-yu finds Danji in town and attempts to tail him to find out more, but ended up being discovered. Danji senses Yu-yu's interest in starting Vanguard, and allows him to choose a card to be his buddy. Meanwhile, Megumi misunderstands the closeness of Danji and Yu-yu's relationship, and challenges Yu-yu to a cardfight.

The mysterious challenger Katsuki defeats Megumi and challenges Danji to a match, but Danji has a condition: to defeat Yu-yu first. And that's how Yu-yu started his special training with Danji for the cardfight one week later.

The morning after the sudden retirement announcement, the amusement park is labelled with notices for destruction, and Danji goes missing, leaving Yu-yu and the remaining Blackout members troubled. In order to keep the amusement park from destruction, Megumi sets out to meet someone.

Danji joins the town's Pro-Wrestler Association as a regular to revive it, but is shocked to find out that his opponent is none other than Hiroshi Tanahashi. However, being adept at Vanguard as well, Tanahashi suggests having their match in both arenas as "CardFight Pro-Wrestling."

Tohya appears once more at Wonder Hill with his partner Masanori, hoping to have another match against Danji. Danji wanted to accept the challenge from Tohya, but he has yet to sufficiently recover from his injuries the other day to cardfight. And so, Yu-yu challenges Tohya to a cardfight in Danji's place.

Yu-yu seems to be under the weather after his match with Tohya, and suddenly develops a fever and faints at the amusement park. He intends to rest at home, but with his mother and sisters are away on vacation, a concerned Danji suggests looking after Yu-yu at his house instead.

It's the anniversary of the day Megumi and Danji met. However, Danji shows no signs of any intention to celebrate it, and seems to have completely forgotten about it. Seeing that Megumi has started sulking in disappointment, Tomari takes action to lift her spirits.

Yu-yu and the others are surprised as a helicopter suddenly appears in the skies above the amusement park, with Tohya's partner Masanori in it. As his cards are being blown away by the wind pressure from the helicopter, an angry Zakusa shows another side of him that's uncharateristically wild. Will this be the start of a blood strife between Zakusa and Masanori!?

An injured Shinobu arrives at Wonder Hill after encountering card hunters. Danji's facial expression changes upon hearing Shinobu's story, and he sets off alone. When Megumi and the others return to the amusement park after participating in a meeting of leaders in Danji's stead, they find their fallen comrades with a completely changed Tohya standing amidst them.

Yu-yu arrives at the amusement park at night, only to find his fallen comrades, a stolen banner, and Tohya. Tohya challenges Yu-yu to a fight in one week, threatening that "I'll burn the banner if you don't turn up. And I'll burn it if you lose", and departs from the amusement park.

Yu-yu loses to Tohya. Blackout's banner is burned, and his team mates are overwhelmed by their loss and sense of helplessness. Danji returns at this point, and enraged by what he sees, Danji challenges Tohya to a rematch. What will result from this match, and what awaits Yu-yu and friends?

Danji abruptly relinquishes his position as leader and leaves Team Blackout. Megumi chases after him and challenges him to a Vanguard Fight in order to express the feelings that she cannot put into words.

A conflicted Yu-yu helps the newly appointed team leader Tohya as he works tirelessly at various odd jobs to repair Wonder Hill. Tomari suggests they have a Vanguard Fight. Yu-yu vs Tohya. What lies beyond this rematch?

Yu-yu and Tohya worry about Megumi, who had suddenly disappeared after Danji's departure. In order to reach her, Yu-yu and friends decide to...

The team known as "The Daybreak" is lead by the mysterious Mirei Minae. Daybreak continues their hunt for banners everywhere in order to promote their ideal image of Vanguard. To uncover their true intentions, Danji makes contact with Haruka.

Though Mirei enjoys their secret rendezvous, Danji behaves awkwardly. To close the distance between them, Mirei challenges Danji to a fight.

Shinobu and Zakusa await the arrival of Yu-yu, Megumi, and Tohya, who are on their way through the mountain trail to Daybreak's HQ in Nagoya. Shinobu's Greedon bares its fangs upon Megumi, who burns with anger.

Yu-yu and friends take a break at a bathhouse. Danji and Mirei appear before them on their way to grab a parfait. Having differences in the ideals of their teams, Yu-yu and Mirei decide to settle it with cardfigh

Mirei loses sight of Yu-yu and friends at a festival. While being rescued by Danji, Mirei is shocked as she realizes that Danji is Nadatsugu, the brother she thought passed away.

A match with Daybreak. Up first is the person known as the Queen of Ice, Haruka Sokawa, and her opponent is Megumi from Blackout.

Up next, Yu-yu and friends face a vengeful Shinobu, who appears to be relaxed and in top form.

Tohya prepares to settle his score against Masanori. A devious smile plays around Masanori's lips - what could he be up to...?

The flames of Tohya's and Danji's fighting spirit rage silently as their fateful showdown begins. Their resolves clash, and the winner is...?!

Yu-yu climbs to the top of Nagoya Castle for a cardfight against Mirei. With the very existence of their teams on the line, the time has come for a final showdown.

Raika receives an invitation and has a choice to make. Meanwhile, Urara misses her stop and finds herself alone. Until Megumi takes her to the nearby amusement park, that is.

"Deluxe", the tournament that would decide the strongest fighter commences. The opening ceremony takes place at Ariake Arena. Shortly before, the Top Fighter Michiru Hazama challenges Danji Momoyama to a fight. As two old acquaintances, what is it that Michiru entrusted Danji with?

Noteworthy battles unfold among the chosen participants at "Deluxe". Among them, is a battle between Yu-yu and Student Council President, Raika Koshiba. Yu-yu was looking forward to a match with Raika, who is an active pro as a Front Fighter on stage.

Yu-yu is overwhelmed by the serious battle with Raika. Mirei visits Yu-yu to cheer him up and brings him a gift. The next opponent is his team mate, Zakusa Ishigame. As Zakusa pushes him with his all, what is this new power that Yu-yu is clad in?!

Urara is unable to focus on the fight because of the "annoying sounds", and wishes to hear the sounds she heard when she first fought with Yu-yu once more. Mirei, her opponent, comes to understand Urara's feelings. Sounds heard by the heart, and lights seen by the heart. A real fight between the two begins.

Megumi's opponent is none other than the one known as Japan's Number 1, Michiru. Ever since deciding to participate in "Deluxe", Megumi has been determined to put in more than twice the effort and training. Megumi, inheritor to the Legend of Kaga; her will gives rise to a marvelous onslaught!

It's time for a match between Front Fighters Raika and Taizo Kiyokura, a hotshot businessman who's in to both beautiful ladies and Vanguard. Taizo is a powerhouse fighter who has a history of wins under his belt. Can the talented young Raika see the path to victory?!

Yu-yu faces Taizo with the entry to Top 8 on the line. Yu-yu, who fights while receiving support from his friends, is a fighter different from those that the cheerful Taizo usually faces. There seems to be a reason that Taizo is fighting for amidst admiration from his employees in this tournament.

After the fierce battles, fighters who won their way into the remaining 8 spots spend their time thinking before the next round begins. Yu-yu welcomes an unexpected guest, Tohya departs on a long journey, and Raika shows a new side apart from that which Urara wasn't good with.

First match of the "Deluxe" tournament quarterfinals. Yu-yu vs Urara. To Urara, it feels like a rematch of when she first encountered Vanguard. However, Urara receives support from the people around her and becomes too conscious of wanting to win, and begins to show Yu-yu an unexpected development of the fight.

First match of the semifinals has two powerhouse fighters facing off. It is a ferocious fight between fellow knights Bastion and Tohya with a "thirst for strength" against Youthberk and Raika who thinks "there's no meaning apart from winning". What lies beyond this fight, and what does Raika's Skyfall aim to achieve?

Yu-yu and Michiru face off in the second match of the semifinals. Taizo says that Michiru's loneliness is due to his overwhelming strength. Without flinching against the strongest fighter, Yu-yu has decided to proceed to the finals in order to have a rematch against Raika. Michiru discovers something amidst the fight against Yu-yu.

Final match of Deluxe. Yu-yu, who never forgets to "enjoy the fight" no matter which strong opponent he faces, and Raika, a genius who values winning above all else. The fight between the two with different beliefs leads to a development beyond imagination. Who will be known as history's strongest fighter?!

Yu-yu, Raika, and Touya were invited to America, and went on a tour of exhibition matches. A fierce fighter who placed 2nd in Deluxe USA awaits Yu-yu in New York.

Deluxe USA's champion, Sophie Belle, is also known as the Witch of the Starry Skies. Raika gets irritated as she seems to be playing around during the fight. Will Raika be able to resist the Almajestar that Sophie controls?

Megumi, Urara, and Tomari. The fighters in Japan spend their days training as well. Michiru is summoned by Jinki and heads to Ariake Arena in order to unveil the plot underlying Deluxe. But what awaited him was a terrifying power instead.

Tohya's opponent in Los Angeles is Sam, who placed 3rd in Deluxe USA. He hints that his investigation suggests that Masanori could be involved with Uniformers. In order to gain more information, Tohya challenges Sam and his Blue Deathsters to a fight with an intent to win.

Reno and Tenma are #1 on the "Ranking of Upcoming Idols". Urara goes wild when the two of them make a sudden appearance at Wonder Hill in Kanazawa. While Urara gives it her all in a fight with the idol she likes, her opponent Reno seems to be troubled about something.

Uniformers is a group that trains on the basis of data with the goal of having the "Ultimate Fight". Urara hits it off with one of their members, Halona. And the person Halona introduced as one who knows true power is none other than the organiser of Deluxe, Jinki Mukae.

Even in the Uniformers, Shinobu is an outcast. When he gets bored with the daily training schedule, he encounters Michiru by chance in the underground facility and speaks with him. Meanwhile, in order to put a stop to a scheme involving Masanori, Zakusa steps into a serious fight he must not lose.

Raika gets a call from Sophie. Raika accepts the invitation as he would be told the location of the missing Michiru if he did. As Sam chases after the pair, Danji questions Sam's true identity. Also, Sophie reveals her true strength against Raika!

Halona leads Uniformers and discards the flags of the teams of each region after defeating them. Meanwhile, Urara sends a message after a period of absence saying "Let's meet at Wonder Hill". What awaits Megumi at the amusement park that night...?

Yu-yu returns and is shocked by how much Urara has changed, and agrees to a fight. Urara has gained strength from her activities with Uniformers. However, Yu-yu wishes to help Urara remember what is more important than the fight she's currently aiming for.

The existence of a mastermind behind Jinki's plans is revealed to Danji and friends from Sam's investigation. Michiru appears before those that invaded Uniformers' network. Raika resolves to have a digital fight with the one he respects in order to reclaim Michiru's heart.

Danji and Michiru fight in a virtual space. Michiru dreams of a world colored by the Uniformers' program that he honed, while Danji fights to bring him back to reality. Whose hands will the future be entrusted to?

In just six months, Uniformers have changed the very concept of Vanguard, but no one knows their real identity. Can these mysterious players be defeated?

What happens if you place a Hollowing Moonlit Night in the Order Zone and draw a card? Let’s find out!

Megumi learns more about Halona and her connection to Gui when she’s scouted by the Uniformers.

Haruka left because she believed she was holding Mirei back. But she didn’t consider Mirei’s thoughts on the matter.

Megumi always felt she had to catch up to Danji, but no longer. She’s grown stronger now and Danji will have to pull out all the stops if he wants to defeat her.

Not everyone agrees with the Uniformers, but if they wish to challenge the group on an equal playing field, they must all grow stronger.

AI Gui rejects Jinki's proposal and starts to make moves beyond their expectations. If they have taken the wrong path, they must correct it. Jinki challenges Gui to a duel as his foster parent, carrying the deck used by his older brother, Shingi, the inventor.

Masanori, who has skillfully evaded Tohya's challenges, finally faces him in a destined showdown on Mt. Yama. Masanori controls the Zorga Masques Deck, while Tohya unleashes a new Bastion Deck, determined to secure victory.

Danji presents a challenge to the Uniformers. In response, AI Gui sets up a stage at the sacred ground of Kaganokuni, Hakusan, to determine the future of Vanguard. In the first match, Shirogane stands before Yu-yu, once their comrade, Zakusa.

The second match at the foot of Hakusan. Urara's opponent is Halona, whose fighting spirit is ablaze. Halona aims to defeat Urara and prove that the Uniformers are right. Urara wants to win against Halona and become friends once again. The clash of their determination and emotions ensues.

The final match at the foot of Hakusan. Sophie vs Raika, entrusted with their fateful showdown. Genius vs prodigy, witch vs nobleman, Starry Skies vs Sky Fall. The fight between these two contrasting individuals takes an unexpected turn when Sophie unleashes her full power.

The final battle at the foot of Hakusan. AI Gui, who fights Yu-yu, aims not only for a complete victory but also for the last piece of data to realize the ultimate battle that developer Shingi aspired to. And now, the true power of Gui's Dragontree Deck begins to awaken.

The overwhelming strength of Dragontree. For AI Gui, Yu-yu is merely the last fighter to analyze. He claims that the bond with the cards is just noise and that Vanguard does not require individuality. What move does Yu-yu, who surpasses Gui, make? And what will the outcome of the match be?

One day, a youth named Akina Myodo from Kanazawa, Kaga, obtains a mysterious card after experiencing a vision of planet Cray. That card is proof that he has been chosen as the Fated One of Miracles and an invitation to the "Fated Clash," where the last one standing can have their wish granted.

With the knowledge that Hikari's illness may be cured if he is the last one standing in the "Fated Clash", Akina gains a sense for Vanguard under the tutelage of Nao, his senior from his part-time job. However, as if his line of thinking was foreseen, Gabwelius appears before Akina once more.

The perfect idol Mikoto is currently on hiatus and hooked on Net Vanguard. Joining an offline meeting, Akina witnesses the fight between Megumi and Mikoto. Meanwhile, the masked person comes into contact with Suo Yobitsugi.

It's the second round of the Fated Clash, and for some reason, Mikoto's opponent Taizo Kiyokura knows about Akina, and even visits Hikari in hospital. The fight begins, and while Taizo praises Mikoto's effort, he also remarks that he "can't see her self in her fights".

Akina faces off against Taizo in the third round of the Fated Clash. Taizo's confidence remains unshaken despite his consecutive battles, as giving his best at all times is his style as a pro-fighter. Recognizing the difference in skill, Akina bets on the "one in a hundred" chance and fights with all his might.

The quiet and emotionless boy Suo Yobitsugi shares with Akina about his painful past as the pair pass a stormy night in town. Meanwhile, as Masanori starts questioning Gabwelius about the true aim of the Fated Clash, Shinobu appears to challenge him to a showdown.
