Chrono accepts a challenge from Kouji Ibuki at the Vanguard Colosseum to test a new deck. Inside a room equipped with the Grand Image Reality System, the two engage in a cardfight where Chrono initially gains the upper hand. Kouji then shifts to a sinister demeanor, mocking Chrono and exposing his weaknesses. In a desperate attempt to turn the tide, Chrono summons Stride Interdimensional Dragon, Mystery-flare Dragon. The creature begins manifesting in the real world, visible only to children, but vanishes before fully emerging. Simultaneously, the GIRS system shuts down, halting the match. Kouji departs without revealing his identity, leaving Chrono feeling frustrated and defeated by the unresolved encounter.
