In Paradise City's You Show Duel School, a second year middle school student named Yuya Sakaki aspires to become a professional Dueltainer and awakened a new power from his pendant known as Pendulum Summoning which attracted attention of the Leo Corporation's president, Declan Akaba. As he continued dueling, Yuya later met three Duelists who greatly resemble him: The collected Xyz duelist Yuto whom he unknowingly absorbed, the overconfident Synchro duelist Yugo, and the sadistic Fusion duelist Yuri. These look-alikes originate from other dimensions besides Yuya's Standard Dimension as he and his friends find themselves in the middle of an interdimensional conflict against the Fusion Dimension's Duel Academy, which Yuri attends. It is led by Declan's estranged father, Leo Akaba, who seeks to unite the four dimensions. Declan forms the a group of elite Duelists called the Lancers to fight Duel Academy and stop his father as they build their numbers traveling to the Synchro and Xyz Dimensions.
In time, Yuya learns he has strong connections to Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri as they are able to synchronize their minds with each other at times when their dragons are calling one another. Yuya and his friends also realized that Leo seeks to capture Yuya's childhood friend, Zuzu Boyle, and the Lancers' Fusion Dimension member, Celina, as they are identical to the Xyz Dimension's Lulu Obsidian and Rin of the Synchro Dimension who were already captured. Arriving in Fusion Dimension to save Celina, Zuzu gets captured as well, while Yuya and the Lancers infiltrates Duel Academy to save the girls. When they confront Leo, he reveals the four dimensions used to be one world until the day a mad duelist named Zarc attempted to destroy everything. Leo intended to stop Zarc with the special En Cards he created with the powers of nature. His daughter, Ray, steals the cards and sacrifice herself in his stead to defeat Zarc while splintering the world into the four dimensions.
