Tatsuya rides on the wings of Malkuth-melekh with his insane desires. To save the hostage Chrono, and to return with Rive to battle alongisde Mark, Shinemon challenges Tatsuya to a final battle.

With a wish "to save the lives of the deceased parents", Tatsuya challenges Ryuzu with the position of the leader for the experiments on the line. He knows the truth behind the experiments that Ryuzu has yet to realize.

"The one who wants to fight Shinemon with the Unit summoning experiment is not Ryuzu but me.", Tatsuya chuckled dubiously. What does that actually mean? Ryuzu and Rive look back upon the beginning of this research.

Ryuzu attempts to involve Shinemon in the summoning experiment. Esuka fights Ryuzu to stop that from happening, and to send Shinemon and his friends to the tournament.

Shinemon heads to Ryuzu`s Lab to bring Rive back together with Esuka. Mark enters the finals alone, believing in the return of Shinemon and friends. The curtain rises on Shinemon`s final fight.

It`s the day before the finals of the Asia Circuit. As Shinemon ponders about whether to join the "Unit Summoning Experiment" or "Team`s Final Worlds Challenge", Esuka invites him for dinner.

The one who greets Shinemon and friends from mysterious research laboratory "Ryuzu`s Lab" is none other than Tatsuya. Shinemon challenges the head of the lab Ryuzu Myoujin to a fight, and bears witness to a shocking experiment.

Shinemon is now a 4th-year university student. He`s supposed to enter the deciding match with his teammates as representatives of Japan, but Rive starts using a new deck with a clan he has never seen before in the tournament.

A Card Capital with a prosperous future. The famous talent and entrepreneur, Esuka Hibino, and her Shop Manager acquaintance, Shin, shares about the unknowns of Esuka to the regulars.

Overcoming trials and tribulations, Shinemon gets his rematch against Esuka. Facing the youthful, immature, and reckless Shinemon, Esuka speaks of her own life experience.

Shinemon faces the last hurdle of Dragon`s Vanity, which was none other than he who sheds tears upon the sin of weakness, Yuichirou Kanzaki. Will he be able to overcome Kanzaki in this last fight?

Rive is chosen by Ruga to be his opponent. Though these two used to fight side by side as a pair, Ruga scolds Rive for running away from his fear of fighting against Ruga.

The match between Team Capital and Team Dragon`s Vanity will be decided when either side gets 3 wins! The first fight was entrusted to Ninja Master, but he seems to be fooled by the Oyama`s flashy style.

The Esu Cup is where the rematch with Esuka will occur! However, Team Dragon`s Vanity, formed with 3 esteemed fighters from various regions, stand before Shinemon and friends.

With his sights set on a rematch with Esuka and to battle in the S Cup, Shinemon wanders in his attempt to change. Meanwhile, Esuka invites powerful fighters from all around the world.

The curtain rises on the fight between the strongest S ranked fighter Nanami, and the Ninja Master. As the fight rages between those two, Shinemon gets tormented by the sub-manager.

The one who summoned Mikuru is Esuka. Esuka proposes that Mikuru debut as an idol. Meanwhile, Mark and Tatsuya enter Esuka`s main shop to rescue Mikuru.

Leaving Card Capital to his disciple Tatsuya, Shinemon challenges the re-test. However, Esuka`s hitmen, Nanami and Tonori, appeared, and they seem to have taken away Mikuru.

In the struggle for the right to run Card Capital, Shinemon has his own deck taken away. Shinemon and Mark infiltrate Esuka`s main shop to try to get it back.

Shinemon Nitta is the self-proclaimed manager of Card Capital. Shinemon works hard to protect Card Capital from the director of a large-scale card shop, Esuka Hibino.

Units who have been at his side, and then Kazuma Shouji... Chrono Shindou was tormented by the loss of many precious things, and Kazumi Onimaru challenges him to a card fight. And the future that the two wished for at the end of the fight is――

Chrono Shindou, who reached to the place where Taiyou Asukawa and Kazuma Shouji fought, witnessed a spectacular scene. At the same time, the fight where Chrono definitely can't lose open its curtains.

The ones who target Chrono Shindou, the strongest candidate for becoming "Gyze's Vessel", are the three Apostles. Kazuma Shouji and Taiyou Asukawa fight to defend Chrono from the Zeroth Dragon of Star Gate, which is under the command of Chaos Breaker.

During the semifinal match, Saori fights with complete hatred akin to an intent to kill. Overcoming the unfeeling wall of smouldering flames, the dragon's "awakening" is achieved for the world it seeks.

The second fight of the deciding match between Striders and Jaime Flowers. Kumi, with her appreciation towards her companions, and Taiyou, with his emotions for Vanguard, are pushed to their limits.

Hayao and Shion are utterly defeated by Saori and Onimaru. Shion, who overcomes any and all adversities, and Kazumi, who wishes to rebel against his fate. The fight between these two against their destinies are fiercer than ever.

Rin and Henri aims to win regardless of Diffriders being their opponents. Rin's fighting spirit reaches Verno, but Henri's fight with Saori is……

Chrono and Taiyou reflect upon the past battles and head towards the Final Stage. Together with Kazuma, the Striders steel their resolves for the final battle.

The repechage between Rummy Labyrinth with Saya and Jaime Flowers. Knowing the truth of the Diffriders, Tokoha composes herself and reaches for the ticket to the Final Stage with a fight against Saya.

Second Stage ends, but only 3 teams can proceed. A repechage has been confirmed, but before that, Chrono and Ibuki tell the others about the Diffriders at an island in the south…

Regaining his freedom, Shion challenges Chrono at his best. The two of them fought with all they have, like the way they fought when they first met. The heat from their fight fascinates all the fighters at the stage…!

Team Fukuhara proceeds according to Shion's strategy, and makes it to day 2 with none of the team members dropping out. However, Hayao notices Shion's plan to sacrifice himself for the team, and ignores that strategy…!

Chrono is shocked by the relationship between Kazuma and Onimaru. Kazuma challenges Shiranui, who pretends to be Onimaru himself, to settle the fight. The frightening objective of Shiranui, who took over Onimaru's body and violated the U20, comes to light.

As the fight between Chrono and Saori unfolds, Kazuma gets a rematch with Onimaru. Kazuma tries his best in the fated fight between brothers, but the Onimaru in front of his eyes is no longer the "brother" from that day.

Saori is frustrated at the discomfort of the fight with Tokoha. Chrono clashes with all his might against Saori, who behaves conspicuously as a unit, and looks down on fights against humans as "games".

Onimaru is merciless against Rummy Labyrinth and Kumi, and makes a fool of their "enjoyable fight". Defending their fight as a knight, Enishi makes his move on the "power of taboo"of Onimaru's Nubatama.
