Second Numbers Quest
Set immediately after Zexal ends, Yuma and his crew of allies have stepped into the Astral World to avert their new crisis. The power of Chaos has ended up releasing all 100 "Numbers" back through space and time into different worlds! Not only that, but unbeknownst to them, the Astral World's power has fused with the Fusion and Synchro Dimensions' powers, giving rise to Fusion Numbers and Synchro Numbers, which have similar powers to the original Numbers.

Already realizing they're several months late to the party, Yuma's group advances to the new world to retrieve all the Xyz "Numbers" back, but are shocked when they come across someone who is now holding "" - and worse yet, "Utopia" seems to recognize her as its holder! Once again faced against his own "Number", Yuma fails to pull through this time, but this mysterious person strikes a truce with him and offers him "Utopia" back, bearing no ill will towards the visitors and even enlisting their help for abnormalities that have occurred in their world. Just what is going on?

Fabricated Dimension
The Fabricated Dimension is an offshoot of the Standard Dimension, and parallels the real world more closely. The key difference this dimension has over others is the existence of a strange company named Accel Group, who created Real Solid Vision and popularized it through an online trading card service known as Accel Network. This Network allowed players to use their real Decks in controlled simulation environments to play against others (as if playing locally), either in casual Duels or in full-scale tournaments with cash prizes. Many were suckered in and Duel Monsters became a global phenomenon once more.

This all changed when the Accel Group announced their full-scale simulation- Death Network. Advertised as a "fight to the death" with large cash prizes, those on the top hurried to reserve their spot as soon as possible. However, the game had unseen consequences that the participants were not aware of, and they quickly found themselves thrust into a situation far beyond their control...

In terms of Dueling strength, the Fabricated Dimension's inhabitants are generally as powerful as students from the Fusion Dimension, but most are slightly weaker. They are certainly more powerful than the Standard Dimension, the only other dimension with all summoning methods native to itself. The Fabricated Dimension's summoning energy is as high as the Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz Dimension summoning energies, because this world's methods of summoning were not borrowed (i.e. they are not imitations) from said dimensions, but rather derived within the dimension. As such, the summoning effects for the monsters are noticeably different. Fusion Materials combine under a green-and-red spiral, instead of a blue-and-orange one; non-Tuner Synchro Materials go through a series of scattered orange rings which line up right before the summoning, instead of a series of green rings which are always lined up; and Xyz Materials go into a blue spiral of energy that spins faster and gets flatter as the monsters enter, instead of a constant red spiral of energy. "Number" monsters use the normal summoning effects, as they do not originate from the Fabricated Dimension.

Protectors
 * Eric Loeung - A competitive, hot-headed young man. He only respects people who have good Decks at first, but comes to realize that some people can bring out the potential in even the worst of Decks, and respects them in time. Despite his harshness, he greatly values life and hates those who murder, especially for fun. Runs a deck, with his key card being Mayosenju Akuzenka, an Xyz Monster that remedies the problem of Yosenjus having no field presence by keeping a body on the field while recycling the regular monsters.
 * Lara Swanson - A serious individual who values justice over everything else. She is quick to distrust people who she's never met, and believes that people who are outed as arrogant are evil. However, she is a loyal friend and will not hesitate to help those in need. Runs a classic Deck focused on Fusion Summoning with . Her key card is Elemental HERO Silent Wizard, a near-impenetrable wall of a monster that can sustain itself almost indefinitely if summoned using, and heavily punishes Field Spell users.
 * Dale Foxwell - A laid-back individual who Duels for fun and pursues most other hobbies non-seriously. He's generally kind to everyone, and cracks jokes a lot, but behind his kindness is an individual who lacks confidence and is desperately trying to find any way to stand out among his talented peers. Runs an Deck focused on Synchro Summoning and enemy field disruption. Among his boss monsters is Ally of Justice Heat Seeker, which disrupts the opponent's Graveyard; combined with Attribute-changing continuous effects, it can also hit their hand as well.
 * Jade Ingram - A hardworking young woman who had to learn to manage time and fend for herself after her parents mysteriously left the island she lived on. Although kind and understanding, she is very stressed and struggles to relate to others after enduring social isolation for years. Her inner strength caused to seek her out as its new partner, gaining a new evolved form: Number C39: Utopia Nebula, a Ranked-Up monster that can utterly run over even established fields with its Trap-ignoring effects. Runs a  Deck at first, focused on controlling the match with generic Xyz Monsters before the opponent can catch their ground, which is boosted by Rank-Ups,, and  later on. She changes her Deck to s later on due to preference.
 * Tina Harding - A bubbly girl with a love for all things cute, fluffy, and sweet. She has no ill-intentions, but is later revealed to be an amnesiac, and struggles to remember her place in life. Runs a Deck focused on recursion, with her signature card being Madolche Prince Cupcape, which locks down discard strategies and reverses the opponent's Graveyard setups by shuffling key cards back into their Deck.
 * Rita Barnett - A mischievous individual who fangirls over all things magical and wizardy. Despite her goofiness, she's a formidable fighter respected for her intelligence, and can effectively use all forms of Extra Deck summoning. However, behind that smirk and laugh of hers hides something more sinister. Runs a Vigilsoldier Deck, a toolbox hybrid Deck that has both OTK and control potential, and can answer most situations with lethal combos. Her signature card is Vigilsoldier - Ruffian James, a Warrior that's hard to get rid of, and can even dispatch of boss monsters easily.
 * Dane McBride - A slick young man who has a way with words. Thought to be very eloquent and logical, he secretly harbors a massive amount of narcissism and can easily manipulate others into believing certain things, which becomes problematic when he targets a person's negative qualities. Runs a Deck focused on swarming and field control, and plays a standard variant featuring multiple copies of  to lock down the opponent's plays.
 * Jack Spencer - Brave at heart, Jack Spencer faces up to any challenge, ready to face all ordeals along the way. Charismatic as he may be, he has no way of relating to people outside of Dueling, and in the back of his mind, panic rests, ready to resurface at any possibility of failure. Runs a Deck focused on rapid Xyz Summoning. His charisma caused  to seek him out as its new partner. Using that and his Heraldic Scout toolbox, he can answer most situations that his opponents throw at him.

Flops
 * Beth Schull - A person who seems like a born entertainer. At first, she looks to be someone who wants to bring smiles to the audience, but as her Duels progress she slips into a more arrogant persona, revealing hatred for the world as it is and brutal disregard for her opponents, reflected by rapid beatdown tactics. Runs a Deck focused on Xyz spamming. Her key card is Performage Shadow Mirror, a card which can attach more Xyz Materials to itself by banishing "Performages" from the Graveyard, and can bring out her true ace, Performage Shadow Hunter, which gains more power per banished monster.
 * Noah Elliott - A weak-looking boy who is often brushed aside, despite his intelligence. Due to this, he seeks out as much power as he can get, tossing aside his good intentions for this, to prove to everyone how strong he truly is. Runs a Deck focused on Contact Fusion strategies and field control, but with much stronger support cards than there exist in other worlds (such as Union Reassembly and Coexist), to match his Deck's speed with even top tiered Decks.
 * Lucy Perkins - A strange girl who shows nearly no emotion when doing anything, Dueling or otherwise. People are quick to disregard her, causing hidden emotional scars. Her robotic state results from being subjected to extremely high expectations as a child, causing her to adopt a facade of apathy to cope. Runs a Deck with very formulaic combos, and focuses on bridging into  as quickly as possible to establish total field control and possibly OTK the opponent.
 * Rick Warner - An everyman character who is sociable and reasonable, and Duels mostly for fun. This jack of all trades has talents everywhere, but deteriorates into anger when he interacts with someone who is more specialized than he is, due to his hidden insecurities. Runs a Deck with a very expansive Xyz toolbox, and focuses on protection and maintaining card advantage through plus effects with cards such as Gagaga Scout and.
 * Levi Rodgers -
 * Neal Bridger -
 * Lila Padilla - A cheery, confident girl who believes in her friends and values progress. Although she begins the series as a powerful Duelist who topped the leaderboards, she slowly loses confidence in herself after being targeted by Dane, losing the Death game, then losing her friends one by one, eventually being left with nearly nothing to hold dear. Used to run a Deck in the past (given to her by Tami), and is known to have run many top-tiered Decks in-between the past and present time, including s,, and s. During the game, she ran , and focused on rapid Ritual Summoning and locking the opponent's options. Some time later, she switches to a -based  Deck.
 * Tami Kangjun - A quiet but kind young woman who had very little friends, interacting with others mostly through Dueling. She is shown to be an established Duelist, ranking top 10 on the leaderboards, yet still finding the time to teach returning players the ropes of the new metagame. However, she is held back by low self-esteem and sees Dueling as the only thing worth any sort of value that she can do well. She eventually gains more confidence as she relearns how to enjoy Dueling, and earns the respect of others, making her a foil to Lila. Used to run a Deck and has since played only  seriously. She focuses on OTKing the enemy as soon as she possibly can through a combination of Synchro and Xyz Summoning to overwhelm the opponent before they can defend themselves.
