Summary
Declan compliments Yuya on bringing out the full power his dragons. However, they don't stand a chance against his "Superdoom Kings." He then uses "D/D/D Superdoom King Whitest Armageddon's" special ability, which targets a Pendulum monster on Yuya's field (Odd-Eyes). Due to its ability, "Whitest Armageddon negates the special abilities of all the other Dragon-Type monsters on Yuya's field. Then, Declan activates "Darkness Armageddon's" spcial ability, detaching an Overlay Unit and destroying a non-Pendulum Monster on Yuya's field for each one he controls. Declan has three, so "Starving Venom", "Clear Wing and "Dark Rebellion" are destroyed. Finally, Declan activates "Purplish Armageddon's" special ability, destroying "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" and dealing Yuya damage equal to its attack points. Yuya's LP falls to 1250. Declan asks Yuya how he can make him smile since that his dragons are gone. Yuya says he doesn't know, but he plans to make everyone smile. Declan and Riley will be able to smile again, and he'll bring back Zuzu. He grasps his pendant with one hand, and asks Yuri, Yuto, and Yugo to lend him his power one more time. He draws with all of their power and activates "Odd-Eyes Fusion Gate", Summoning back "Odd-Eyes" and "Starving Venom" with their effects negated, and then he can Fusion Summon. He fuses "Odd-Eyes" with "Starving Venom" to Fusion Summon "Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon". "Venom's" effect activates, increasing its ATK by the combined ATK of all monsters Declan controls until the End Phase, raising its ATK to 13,800.

 Turn 2: Declan 

Declan activates the effect of "D/D/D Superdoom King Whitest Armageddon" as a monster was Normal or Special Summoned, negating the effects of all monsters Yuya controls except that of a Pendulum Monster that Yuya controls of his choice. Yuya chooses "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon". Declan activates the effect of "D/D/D Superdoom King Darkness Armageddon", detaching an Overlay Unit ("Darkness Armageddon": 3 → 2 0RU) to destroy non-Pendulum Monsters Yuya controls equal to the number of Pendulum Monsters that Declan controls. He destroys "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon", "Clear Wing Synchro Dragon", and "Starving Venom Fusion Dragon". Declan then activates the effect of "D/D/D Superdoom Purplish Armageddon", destroying a monster Yuya controls and inflicting damage equal to its ATK on the field. He destroys "Odd-Eyes" (Yuya: 3750 → 1250 LP).

 Turn 3: Yuya 

Yuya draws and subsequently activates "Odd-Eyes Fusion Gate", Special Summoning "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" from his Extra Deck and a Fusion Monster from his Graveyard with their effects negated, then Fusion Summoning a Fusion-Pendulum Monster using them as Fusion Materials, and then "Fusion Gate" will remain face-up on the field long as the monster that was Fusion Summoned by its effect does. He Special Summons "Odd-Eyes" (2500/2000) and "Starving Venom" (2800/2000) and fuses them to Fusion Summon "Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon" (3300/2500). As it was Fusion Summoned using monsters on the field, the effect of "Venom Dragon" allows it to gain the ATK of all monsters Declan controls until the end of the turn (Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon: 3300 → 13800). "Venom Dragon" attacks "Whitest Armageddon", but Declan activates the effect of "Purplish Armageddon"; once per turn he can return the ATK of one of Yuya's battling monsters to its original ATK ("Venom Dragon": 13800 → 3300). Yuya finds the Action Card "Wonder Chance". "Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon" is destroyed (Yuya: 1250 → 1050 LP).

As the Fusion-Pendulum Monster that it Fusion Summoned was destroyed, Yuya activates the effect of "Odd-Eyes Fusion Gate", sending it to the Graveyard to add "Odd-Eyes Synchro Gate" from his Deck to his hand, which he subsequently activates, allowing him to Special Summon "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" from his Extra Deck treated as a Level 1 Tuner monster and a Synchro Monster from his Graveyard with their effects negated, then Synchro Summon a Synchro-Pendulum Monster using them as Synchro Materials, and then "Synchro Gate" will remain face-up on the field long as the monster that was Synchro Summoned by its effect does. He Special Summons "Odd-Eyes" ("Odd-Eyes": Level 7 → 1) and "Clear Wing" (2500/2000) and tunes the Level 1 Tuner monster "Odd-Eyes" with the Level 7 "Clear Wing" to Synchro Summon "Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon" (3000/2500). Yuya activates the effect of "Wing Dragon", destroying all monsters his opponent controls and then having "Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon" gain ATK equal to the ATK of one of the destroyed monsters, but the effect of "Darkness Armageddon" prevents Pendulum Monsters that Declan controls from being destroyed by card effects. "Odd-Eyes" attacks "Darkness Armageddon" (Yuya: 1050 → 850 LP).

As the Synchro-Pendulum Monster that it Synchro Summoned was destroyed, Yuya activates the effect of "Odd-Eyes Synchro Gate", sending it to the Graveyard to add "Odd-Eyes Xyz Gate" from his Deck to his hand, which he subsequently activates. It lets him Special Summon "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" from his Extra Deck and an Xyz Monster from his Graveyard treated as a Level 7 monster with their effects negated, then Xyz Summon an Xyz-Pendulum Monster using them as Overlay Units, and then "Xyz Gate" will remain face-up on the field long as the Xyz-Pendulum Monster that was Xyz Summoned by its effect does. He Special Summons "Odd-Eyes" and "Dark Rebellion" (2500/2000) and overlays the Level 7 Dragon-Type "Odd-Eyes" and "Dark Rebellion" to Xyz Summon "Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon" (3000/2500, ORU: 2). Yuya activates the effect of "Xyz Gate" banishing it from his field and both "Fusion Gate" and "Synchro Gate" from his Graveyard to increase the ATK of the Xyz Monster Xyz Summoned by the effect of "Xyz Gate" by 1000 until the end of the Battle Phase and allow it to attack twice during the Battle Phase ("Rebellion Dragon": 3000 → 4000 ATK) Yuya activates "Wonder Chance", allowing a monster he controls to attack an additional time during each Battle Phase. "Rebellion Dragon" attacks "Purplish Armageddon", Whitest Armageddon" and "Darkness Armageddon", but the effect of "Purplish Armageddon" prevents Pendulum Monsters that Declan controls from being destroyed by battle (Declan: 3500 → 2000 LP). Yuya Sets a card.

 Turn 4: Declan 

Declan activates the effect of "Purplish Armageddon", destroying "Rebellion Dragon" and inflicting its ATK to Yuya. As a Pendulum Monster he controlled was destroyed, Yuya activates "Cold Performance", placing his destroyed Pendulum Monster in his Pendulum Zone ( 4) and preventing him from taking damage this turn.

 Turn 5: Yuya 

Yuya activates the Pendulum Effect of "Rebellion Dragon", placing a Pendulum Monster from his Deck into his other Pendulum Zone. He places "Performapal Five-Rainbow Magician" ( 12). Yuya Pendulum Summons "Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon", "Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon", "Performapal Odd-Eyes Priest", (100/1800) and "Performapal Ignition Eagle" (1000/1000), all in Attack Position from his Extra Deck. As a monster was Normal or Special Summoned, Declan activates the effect of "Whitest Armageddon", negating the effects of all monsters Yuya controls except for a Pendulum Monster of Yuya's choice. Yuya chooses "Odd-Eyes Priest" and subsequently activates its effect as it was Pendulum Summoned in Attack Position, Special Summoning an "Odd-Eyes" Pendulum Monster from his Graveyard, then banishing "Odd-Eyes Priest". He Special Summons "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" (2500/2000).

Yuya chooses "Ignition Eagle".

Yuya finds an Action Card. The Pendulum Effect of "Five-Rainbow Magician" is applied to both players. As long as a player has four or less Set cards in their Spell & Trap Zones, the ATK of all monsters they control become 0, they cannot attack, and cannot activate their effects. If a player does not skip their Draw Phase, they will not be able to Set Spell/Trap Cards during their turn. If a player controls five Set cards in their Spell/Trap Zones, then these effects will be negated, and the ATK of all monsters they control will be doubled. In addition, if a player adds a card to their hand outside of the Draw Phase, they will be allowed to Set that card, and when a player Sets a card, the current turn is ended. Yuya Sets the Action Card that he obtained.

Trivia

 * Just like with Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, no opening or ending sequence was played for the finale of Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V.
 * However, near the end of the episode, the 2nd opening theme "Burn!" was played similar to 5D's and ZEXAL who used their respective 1st opening themes for their ending.

Differences

 * According to "V-Jump" preview for this episode, "D/D/D Flame King Genghis", "D/D/D Gust King Alexander" and "D/D/D Wave King Caesar" were supposed to be used by Declan, but they were never used nor did they appear at all.
