Plot
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's is set in the future at Neo Domino City. Seventeen years earlier, a reactor called Moment in a city functioned and caused a massive earthquake that divided the city into two parts: Satellites, damaged and poor parts, and Neo Domino City, the more affluent part of town and city, with access from Satellites for Neo Domino is strictly forbidden. Yusei Fudo, an aspiring duelist of Satellite, built his own D-Wheel, but his best friend Jack Atlas betrayed him and stole his vehicle along with his most precious monster, Stardust Dragon, fleeing to Neo Domino. Two years later, Yusei builds another and secretly goes to town to win back his Dragon. Jack has made a name for himself and his monster, Red Daemon's Dragon, as the King of Equestrian Duel is currently in Neo Domino City. Yusei and Jack face each other in the Driving Duel, and Yusei is able to regain control of Stardust Dragon. As Stardust and Red Daemon's Dragon battle, Yusei and Jack's arms shine red, a third red dragon appears, and ends the fight abruptly. This caught the attention of Rex Goodwin, head of the Public Security Bureau, who revealed to Jack a five-thousand-year-old secret involving "Star People" ( ??? , Hoshi no Tami ) , pre-Incan civilization, "Crimson Dragon" ( ??? , Akaki Ry? ) , and "Signers" (? ??? , Shigun ) , identified by a red birthmark on their arm representing part of the dragon. Goodwin also reveals that Jack and Yusei, along with Duelist Luca's son and Duelist Psychic Aki are their descendants and destined to confront the Dark Signers, the duelist who was resurrected from the dead to serve the evil Earth Gods. The Markers headed to the Satellite to confront these enemies consisting of: Rutger Goodwin (Rex's brother, former Signator with the Head sign of the dragon and leader of the Dark Marker), Kyosuke Kiryu (a former friend of Yusei, Jack and their friend Crow Hogan ), Demak (the man who stole the Ancient Dragon Dragon card until Luca, with the help of his twin Lua, wins from him), Misty Lola (the model who blames Aki for the death of his brother Toby, until he finds Divine, Former Aki friends and leader of the psychic shaman organization, is the actual culprit), Bommer (who blames Rex Goodwin for the disappearance of his village until he finds the Dark Signatory responsible), and briefly Carly (a blogger with feelings for Jack). After their defeat, Rex Goodwin was revealed to have become a Dark Signer and used his brother's broken arm to become a Signer as well. Yusei, Jack and Crow then confronts him in the Equestrian Duel to stop him and the King who is liberated from the afterlife of finishing the Marker and destroying the world. Before the final attack, Yusei gets Head mark while Crow gets a Tail Tail, making him a Signer. With the power of Dragon Crimson and Dragon Star Saver Yusei, he defeated Goodwin who, along with Rutger, sacrificed himself to destroy the King of the afterlife and revive the Dark Signator as a normal person again.
After the defeat of the Dark Lord, Neo Domino City and Satellite were finally reunited into a prosperous city with the construction of "Daedalus Bridge," an elaborate road network connecting both Satellite and Neo Domino City with several sections also used for Riding Duels. Yusei and his friends, now calling themselves "Team 5D," are preparing for the upcoming World Riding Duel Grand Prix (WRGP) tournament. New threats emerge, the Three Emperor Iliaster, whose main monster, "Machine Emperors", can absorb Synchro Monsters from their opponents to empower themselves. Yusei meets with fellow rival, Sherry LeBlanc, who is investigating the Iliaster organization, which is reportedly responsible for the deaths of his parents. Team 5D also joins a mysterious amnesiak mechanic named Bruno, whose personal alter ego Antinomy teaches Yusei about the secret of "Accel Synchro", a method of calling that allows him to issue a better version of his Stardust Dragon. WRGP soon begins, with Team 5D facing tough opponents before finally confronting the Emperors themselves, who are revealed to be three different incarnations of Aporia, a cyborg sent from the future to destroy Neo Domino City to prevent major catastrophes befalling mankind in the future.
Although Team 5D defeats Aporia and wins the WRGP, a large fort known as Ark Cradle appears and threatens to hit Neo Domino City and destroy it. Team 5D climbed onto it to stop it. Before reaching the core of the fort, they face three men guarding access: Aki and Crow confront Sherry, who is promised to return his parents to him; Yusei confronts Bruno, who restores his memories as Antinomy, another member of Iliaster; and Jack, Lua and Luca faced Aporia. Lua died in a duel and was revived by the Crimson Dragon, becoming the sixth Marker to carry the sign of the Dragon's Heart. When the Markers finally reach Z-one, the Iliaster leader, Yusei borrows dragons of his friends to add them to his deck, and challenges the Z-one to the last Equestrian Duel to determine the future of Neo Domino City. Z-one is revealed to be a scientist of the future who assumed Yusei's identity and traveled back in time to prevent the destruction of mankind. Yusei managed to use his friends' cards to perform "Limit Over Accel Synchro" and summoned his strongest monster, "Shooting Quasar Dragon". After the Z-one was defeated by Yusei, he decided to entrust the future of mankind to Yusei, and sacrificed himself to destroy Ark Cradle and save Neo Domino City from destruction.
A few months passed after Signers' victory over Iliaster, and former Team 5D members moved with their lives following a separate path. They all parted, except Yusei, who decided to stay at Neo Domino City and figure out a way to stop the destruction of mankind in the future. The other Bookmarks decide that they will return after fulfilling their dreams. As they drive together for the last time, the Red Dragon removes their Marker mark, because their mission as a Marker is reached.
