| Thanks to advancements to the Solid Vision system developed by the Leo Corporation, monsters and environments in Duel Monsters are now given physical matter, allowing for exciting Action Duels. At Maiami City's You Show Duel School, a young duelist named Yuya Sakaki is approached with the opportunity to duel against the current Action Duel champion, Strong Ishijima. This brings back memories of three years ago, when Yuya's father, Yusho, mysteriously disappeared before an important match with Ishijima. After some deliberation, Yuya shows up to face Ishijima in an Action Duel. Ishijima quickly brings out his ace monster, Battleguard King, with Yuya evading his attacks by using Action Cards found across the environment. Yuya then summons out his monster, Odd-Eyes Dragon, to attack Ishijima, but he turns things around with his own Action Card and deals damage to Yuya. Just as he is at his wit's end, Yuya remembers some encouraging words from his father, as well as the pendulum he left with him. Yuya's will transforms some of his monsters into Pendulum Monsters, allowing him to perform a new kind of summoning, Pendulum Summon, and summon out several monsters, including an enhanced version of Odd-Eyes Dragon known as Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon. | ||

| Using the effects of both his newly summoned monsters and the Pendulum Monsters he used to summon them, Yuya manages to defeat Ishijima with his Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and win the duel. Yuya's victory brings a lot of potential new students to the You Show Duel School, wanting to see the Pendulum Summon in action. Yuya participates in an exhibition Action Duel with his friend, Yuzu Hiiragi. However, when Yuya attempts to perform a Pendulum Summon, he finds himself unable to summon the monsters he could before. Believing he needed to be in some kind of crisis, Yuya encourages Yuzu to attack him, but he once again fails to perform a Pendulum Summon and loses the duel, leaving the spectators disappointed. After the duel, the spectators, who learn that Pendulum Summoning requires 'Pendulum Cards' that only Yuya has, accuse him of cheating in his match against Ishijima and storm off. All of them leave, except for one young boy, Tatsuya, who stands by his support for Yuya and decides to join the school, encouraging Yuya to try and master the Pendulum Summon so he can once again receive the applause from before.

Upon arriving at the court, however, Silvio steals two of Yuya's Pendulum Cards for himself and takes Yuzu and the kids hostage, forcing Yuya to face him in an Action Duel to save them. As Yuya traverses the Dark Town field in search of his friends, who are trapped atop of a large tower, he ends up running up against Action Trap cards, which not only put him at a disadvantage, but also put Yuzu and the others at risk as they destroy the environment. Meanwhile, Silvio manages to get both of Yuya's Pendulum Cards in his hand and, with guidance from Leo Corporation's CEO, Declan, performs his own Pendulum Summon and brings out three Darts Shooter monsters. | ||

Remembering his father's words and picking himself back up, Yuya summons Block Spider, a card Silvio discarded after deeming it worthless, and uses a spell card to create a copy of it. As Block Spider's ability is to draw attacks towards itself, having two of the same monster provides the ultimate defense, preventing Silvio from attacking. However, Silvio uses a spell card which negates his own Pendulum monsters' abilities to destroy Yuya's copy. Yuya powers up Block Spider's defense, but Silvio increases the attack of his Ultimate Darts Shooter. Just as Silvio attacks, Yuya activates a trap which not only protects himself, but also lets him regain his Pendulum Monsters, who rescue Yuzu and the others. With his cards back in his possession, Yuya performs a Pendulum Summon and, with help from his Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Performapal monsters, wins the duel.
