Following the narrative path of the Duel Masters: Star Cross manga—a departure from the familiar Cross Shock storyline—this season plunges into a fresh chapter in the Duel Masters universe, beginning with Episode 32 of Duel Masters Versus. We meet Katta Kirifuda, Shobu’s younger brother, who dreams of achieving dueling greatness just like his sibling, but forging his own unique path to victory. The series chronicles the start of Katta's exciting journey into the world of dueling, alongside his loyal friends Bucyake, Yohdel, and Benchan. Along the way, he finds himself facing off against the formidable Dragon Ryu, a rival whose skill commands respect and fuels his ambition. Woven throughout this adventure is an exploration of the complex history and escalating conflict between the Hunter and Alien races—a battle that will shape the future of dueling itself.
