Synopsis

A non-canon Yu☆Gi☆Oh! 5D's special from the 2008 Super Jump Anime Tour. Yuusei Fudou and Jack Atlas face off in a Riding Duel for the title of Duel King, with Aki and the twins watching. The ace dragons, Stardust Dragon and Red Daemon's Dragon, clash once again, and this time gain the power to 'evolve' using the Buster Mode trap card, becoming "Stardust Dragon/Buster" and "Red Demon's Dragon/Buster."

Audience Consensus

The audience has mixed feelings about this Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's special. Some appreciate the animation and nostalgia, while others dislike the new gimmicks and predictable storyline. The special seems to cater more to younger audiences or die-hard fans, but overall it does not seem to be a substantial addition to the franchise.

Strengths

  • Animation is good.
  • Booster effects are enjoyable.

Weaknesses

  • Re-enacts past episodes.
  • New duel format on motorbikes is considered a negative gimmick.
  • 3D CG cut scenes are awful.
  • Story is predictable.
  • Constant comments from the peanut gallery are annoying.
