Using the effects of both his newly summoned monsters and the Pendulum Monsters he used to summon them, Yuya manages to defeat The Sledgehammer with his Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and win the duel. Yuya's victory brings many potential new students to the You Show Duel School who wants to see the Pendulum Summon in action. Yuya participates in an exhibition Action Duel with his friend Zuzu Boyle. When Yuya attempts to perform a Pendulum Summon, he finds himself unable to summon the monsters he could before. Believing he needs to be in some kind of crisis, Yuya encourages Zuzu to attack him. Yuya once again fails to perform a Pendulum Summon and loses the duel. This leaves the spectators disappointed. After the duel, the spectators learn that Pendulum Summoning requires "Pendulum Cards" that only Yuya has and accuse him of cheating in his match against The Sledgehammer. All of them leave except for one young boy named Tate who stands by to show his support for Yuya and decides to join the school. This encourages Yuya to try to master the Pendulum Summon so he can once again receive the applause from before. Meanwhile, someone at Leo Corporation prepares to make a move on Yuya and his Pendulum Cards.
