The arrival of the Dark Signers sparks the beginning of the ‘second arc’ of this Season 1 collection and it sees the newly recruited good signers – which consist of Yusei, Jack and Luna – venturing around the city in order to stop the Dark Signers from causing chaos. That threat being the arrival of the Dark Signers and the revival of the shadow games. As you can imagine each duel within this sector of the series pans out at exploring the potential power of each signer with both main and support characters (including both Luna and Leo) getting their share of screen time and while the event comes to a conclusion it paves way to a new type of threat. Everyone within the fortune cup believes they are competing for a chance to win the Duel King crown but in actuality it is a tournament setup by Goodwin as he attempts to track-down the legendary signers a group of people predicted in having great power that could either protect the world or destroy it. All of the characters may have short parts at this point but as the episodes play-out their roles become more important and vital to the story being told the story of the signers.Īs a result of this new story unfolding Yusei is invited to the fortune cup an event which will see eight pre-determined duelists fight to compete in the tournament with a duel against Jack Atlus being the top prize but in actuality it is all just a ruse set by Jack’s advisor Goodwin. This may seem pointless and a way for the series to start and it may seem like it is simply expanding its episode count but it actually paves the way for new friends to be made such as the introduction to previous pro-league champion Tanner, comical but insanely crazy Gramps as well as upon Yusei’s exit from the facility the introduction of the lovable, but quirky, twins Luna and Leo. It’s not a simple task and as a result of this vendetta against Jack Yusei finds himself constantly chased down by local law enforcement until he is inevitably captured and thrown into the local correctional facility. The reason for this ‘desire’ is because Yusei believes that upon reclaiming the card and defeating Jack Atlus it will pave a way for both him and his friends in the satellite to create a new lifes within New Domino City. Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s follows the adventures of Yusei Fudou as he attempts to retrieve his Stardust Dragon card that his best friend Jack Atlus stole from him in the past however in order to make this dream a reality Yusei must escape from the satellite and reach the distant location of New Domino City to where Jack currently resides as the Turbo Duel Champion. ![]() ![]() Those who are successful manage to live well and prosper to great success but those unfortunate enough to commit criminal acts or just be down on their luck will find themselves thrown into the Slums and it is here where the story begins. You see Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s takes place within the futuristic variation of Domino City (otherwise known as New Domino City) and it sees its residents separated into the high-class city and its slums known as the Satellite. If Yu-Gi-Oh!, and it’s spiritual successor Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (which will also receive a UK DVD release by Manga Entertainment UK in the near future) were the positive fun-loving-sides of the franchise, albeit with a slight dark agenda, then this 5D’s addition is its much darker side. The expansive Yu-Gi-Oh! Storyline continues within the seemingly post-apocalyptic-world of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s as not only has the world changed but so have the rules. His desire to reclaim what is rightly his from an old friend turns into much more than what he and many of his newfound companions called “Signers” would have ever bargained for. Neo Domino seems fit to entertain itself with a wild new event called “Riding Duels,” the newest form of playing the ever popular Duel Monsters card game.Įnter Yusei Fudou, a young man who lives on the edge of the law, making his own rules. There lies a strong divide between the rich and the poor, and bridging that gap proves to be difficult. Many years in the future after the exploits of Yugi Mutou, Domino City has become a shadow of its former self: Neo Domino City. It’s time to rev-it-up as the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise makes it’s return to the UK in the form of MangaUK’s release of Yu-Gi-Oh! – Season 1 but is this a release that will speed off into the distance for the win? or will it crash and burn? Well let’s put on our training wheels and find out!
