As you may have known, this movie is to commemorate Yu-Gi-Oh! 10th anniversary and did they do a good job of making it. Let me praise the high quality of the movie that you can see each line of every drawing is so defined that I think the makers went all out with their budget. And the BGM made the whole experience of watching it awesome. I became nostalgic when I heard each character's personal theme song and the OST really got me pumped up for more. My only complaint for the movie is that it's too short ( Less than a hour). But some would say that it's best to keep it short and simple to bring out the point of the story. In my opinion, you can only enjoy this movie to the fullest if you have been watching all three Yu-Gi-Oh! series in that decade.

From this point on there will be spoilers as I want to comment on the cards that were shown in the "Ultimate 3 vs. 1 Duel of the Decade!"
To begin with, the Summary of the Movie:
----------------------
> Within a burning city of destruction and chaos, Jaden (a.k.a. Judai) Yuki is defending against a masked man who is using real monsters to cause havoc. And among those monsters appears the Stardust Dragon. Next, Fudo Yusei wakes up from his recurring nightmares of the Zero Reverse incident caused by his father. He gets reassured by Jack and Crow that it wasn't his fault. Yusei's resolve to protect Satellite City grows stronger after they set out to duel on the road. A challenger on a huge Duel Runner (a.k.a. D-Wheel) approaches from behind them for a duel with Yusei. As the duel progresses with Yusei synchro-summoning his Stardust Dragon, it gets captured into a white card by the masked duelist and he vanishes.
> Then Yusei and his friends find out that the masked man brought Stardust Dragon into the past (Jaden's era) to assault duelists. Meanwhile, the city is crumbling away due to the change in history. The Crimson Dragon offers its aid to Yusei to travel back in time and he saves Jaden from a dire situation. The masked man retreats to the past to put another era into ruin. Yusei talks to Jaden and learns that he was investigating about the missing Duel Monsters cards before meeting the masked man. Jaden figures out which era the masked man is heading to. Later the city they are in start to dissolve.
> During the previous era, Yugi Moto is with his grandpa at a Dueling Tournament in which Pegasus J. Crawford is attending. All of a sudden, dragons attack the city and cause an uproar of a panic in the crowd. Waves of people separate Yugi from his grandpa and a demolished building collapses over Pegasus. Yugi regains consciousness and is in horror of what happened. The masked man has accomplished his goal and rejoices. In pursuit, Jaden and Yusei arrive at an earlier time of the tradegy and encounters Yugi. They explain to him that they are from the future to stop the masked man from eliminating Pegasus and changing the history of the world. Thereby, preventing the disappearances of Duel Monsters and the end of whole cities. The three historic duelists decide to fight together and protect the world with their combined efforts.
