[edit] Plot
Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's is set in Domino City years after the events concerning Yugi Muto. A new form of dueling, "Riding Duels", now take place on motorcycles called "D-Wheels". While regular dueling still exists, Riding Duels have become a popular form of enterainment for spectators, who watch them in specially-designed Stadiums.
Jack Atlus stole Yusei Fudo's card "Stardust Dragon" along with the first D-Wheel that Yusei made. He then leaves the poorer "Satellite" area of Domino and becomes a "Riding King" in the richer area, called "Neo Domino City". Yusei tries to meet up with Jack to get back what was stolen from him, fighting the Securities, who try to keep "Satellite" residents from entering "Neo Domino City". After meeting Jack in Neo Domino, Yusei has a Riding Duel with him. After both players ace monsters "Stardust Dragon" and "Red Dragon Archfiend" clash, a mysterious dragon appears causing the duel to prematurely end.
After the duel with Jack, Yusei is sent caught by Securities and sent to a detention center. Here he learns the legend of the Signers. He also fights against unjust treatment of the inmates, particularly by dueling the warden Takasu. After defeating Takasu, Yusei is released. After his release he takes time to retrieve his confiscated Deck and D-Wheel.
The Yliaster group hold the Fortune Cup in the hopes of gathering the 5 Signers. Yusei is forced to enter, for the safety of his captured friends from Satellite.
The main series plot is said to be to collect 5 all-powerful Dragon cards.
