In this manga's alternate telling of the 5D's story, the mysterious Skeleton Knight abducts Yusei Fudo's friend Sect, forcing Yusei into a duel to get him back. Across the water in Neo Domino City, director Rex Goodwin is staging the D1 Grand Prix, and after Jack Atlas ambushes Yusei in Satellite, the tournament becomes Yusei's route to a rematch with the reigning champion. This manga is a separate continuity from the TV series, not a direct adaptation.
