So Gore/Go captured the Earth Ignis so it could be decompiled. The Shepard is revealed to be Emma's step-brother and she had a speed duel against him to protect Aqua. Sky/Aoi got the Water Ignis and a new look and with that, Ghost Gal, Playmaker, Blue Maiden, and Soulburner are now a team against Lightning. The Shepard and Varis/Revolver dueled because Varis thought he could help against Lightning. But The Shepard is a lone wolf, so he refused which led to a duel between them. Varis by summoning Topologic Trisbaena and letting it be destroyed, so he could just use it to be equipped to his Borreload Savage Dragon. The Shepard, taking some of Varis' advice went to face Lightning alone, only to be defeated. Then Gore and Playmaker had a Speed Duel where it was revealed that SOL Tech put Earth's data into the AI chip implanted in Gore, making him an even stronger duelist. But the toll on his body is extremely noticeable. He almost won if it hadn't been for Playmaker pulling out Firewall eXceed Dragon, making him the first to XYZ Summon in the show. So now all the summoning methods, besides Pendulum Summoning, have appeared.
