Unlike previous duels, Rush Duels are faster and simpler, but they offer exciting new strategies that make each battle more dynamic than the last. Yuga is determined to share the thrills of Rush Duels with every duelist out there, but Goha Enterprises, the megacorp that controls the city, is not willing to let him succeed. They are the ones who dictate how duels are supposed to be played, and they will do everything in their power to crush Yuga and his ambitions. But little do they know, Yuga is determined to build his path to freedom, and nothing can stand in his way.
