Yusaku managed to capture the Mysterious Lifeform as he chases after the Knights of Hanoi. In order to defeat them, he logs into the VR Space network, Link VRAINS, as Playmaker.

GO carries out his Duel in a manner similar to Pro-Wrestling, using Dueling as a means to entertain the audience. Playmaker seems to be interested in this playstyle, which is different from his calm and calculated playstyle. As if acknowledging GO Onizuka’s Dueling, Playmaker Summons "Decode Talker", despite taking a huge amount of damage. And thus, the two’s ace monsters clash!

Using the Link Monsters he obtained in his previous Duels, Playmaker was able to destroy Revolver’s "Cracking Dragon". However, the back-and-forth Duel between them takes a new turn as Revolver activates a shocking Skill!
Due to Revolver's brutal assault, Playmaker is now on the defensive. Playmaker then uses Storm Access to obtain a card in order to turn things around. However, due to Revolver's tactics, the stage of their battle has moved to the inside of the Data Storm...
Playmaker is shocked by the truth that Revolver revealed, and he collapses after taking a powerful attack from Revolver’s ace monster, "Borreload Dragon". As his consciousness fades, a mysterious voice echoes in his mind and awakens him... Playmaker then gets back up, his eyes burning with unwavering resolve...
Accompanied by "Firewall Dragon", Playmaker musters every last ounce of his strength to fight against Revolver’s "Borreload Dragon".
