Shobu Kirifuda has recently won another junior championship tournament and this time against Gintaro. Then Shobu Kirifuda and his friends are invited to participate at an uncharted island for the duel congress. At this congress, all the junior champions were invited. And when they all stated to duel, their creatures started to materialize, even though the duelist were not Kaijudo Masters. Then, they were all told that this island is actually an ancient remanence which converges with the Duel Masters creature world. Shobu faces Orpheus and is defeated by him.
They also find that on the island that there are the imprisoned Galzark, Divine Destruction Dragon Knight and to whom all the players duel, energy transfers to after their duel, whether they win or lose. And when Galzark's chains of imprisonment break, it will get one step closer to getting free. Shobu, who is now terrified after the duel with Orpheus, is given confidence and taken towards Orpheus once again in order to stop all of this. Shobu's friends face all the island's guards of creature spirits who materialize as Duel Golems and stop them from going further. Shobu, in his way, meets his father, Shori Kirifuda, who tells him everything that is going on on the island.
He tells Shobu that the island belongs to a researcher Agamemnon and that Electra & Orpheus are his children. He and Shobu then start to duel some Duel Golems while they are dueling. Shori continues and tells Shobu that these children are under the curse of Galzark at the moment. Galzark was imprisoned by Agamemnon, who hides his children in an underground shack. They thought that they were left by their dad and their dad's spirit is in Galzark now, but they were only being controlled by Galzark. In actuality, their dad passed away while trying to protect them and imprison Galzark. Shori tells Shobu that he was Agamemnon's old friend and use to visit him. 2 years after Agamemnon passed away Shori received a letter and his personal researching the diary. Shori and Shobu win their duel against the Duel Golems, but then the ceiling starts to collapse due to Galzark trying to free itself. Shobu and Shori get separated by the rubble, but Shori gives Shobu Eternal Phoenix, Dragonflame Phoenix and tells that this was the card used by Agamemnon and Shobu has to stop their children and free them from the dragon's curse.
Shobu then goes to the top of the tower where Electra and Olpheus are. When Shobu gets there, he faces Orpheus and Hakuoh shows up as well and he faces Electra. Shobu and Orpheus duel in a cataclysmic battle and Orpheus shows that the true curse is not of the dragon, but of the Phoenix, which arises through the dragon's power Death Phoenix, Avatar of Doom. Shobu does not give up and miraculously summons Eternal Phoenix, Dragonflame Phoenix and shows Orpheus and Electra their father's true spirit. Shobu then defeats Orpheus and Hakuoh defeats Electra.
Now the island is collapsing because of such huge battles, Knight shows up and rescues all the other duelists, including Shobu and Hakuoh.
