Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's

Yusei not only has to deal with Antinomy, but also the flames coming from the star. Antinomy brings out his Accel Synchro monster, Tech Genus Blade Blaster, and deals a lot of damage to Yusei. Antinomy talks about how he was a champion Turbo Duelist, before the Machine Emperors destroyed the world. He was rescued by Z-ONE (who is actually the future version of Yusei), before Antinomy could commit suicide by letting a Grannel kill him. Seeing that Z-ONE still had hope (before the events of the Ark Cradle), and that he had none, Antinomy felt shame, and joined Aporia and Paradox as one of the 4 remaining survivors. He then lived his life working with Z-ONE on his experiments to save humankind (which failed), before being revived as a cyborg, after his human body died, whose mission was to teach Yusei the Accel Synchro, in order to provide the power needed to bring Ark Cradle to New Domino City.
