Duel Runner

"The phrase recited before the Japanese opening themes for the Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V anime, during the Different Dimensions arc."

- The D-Wheel (Duel Runner). The next evolution of the Duel Disk, this machine goes full throttle in a Riding (Turbo) Duel. Overflowing with speed and thrill this is the ultimate show and symbol of freedom.



The Duel Runner, known as D-Wheel (Ｄ・ホイール, Di Hoīru) in the Japanese and German versions, is a special Duel Disk extension utilized for Turbo Duels. It was introduced in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's and also appears in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V.

Story
In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, Duel Runners were introduced by KaibaCorp as unique Duel Disks which are used for Turbo Duels. They are equipped with a screen which shows Duel details such a the current field and Life Points. It can approach speeds of up to 220 kilometers (136.62 miles) per hour during a Turbo Duel. In addition, other equipment like the helmet visor serves to display various information, such as the stats of a monster.

In each Duel Runner, there are two specific cards integrated: the Field Spell Cards "Speed World" and "Speed World 2". If this card is activated then the Duel screen on the Runner will appear. Furthermore, all other information irrelevant to the Duel can be switched off. This card's activation automatically activates the Runner's Duel Disk. Sector Security is capable of forcibly activating the "Speed World" cards of other Duelists in order to force them into Turbo Duels.

Certain Duel Runners are known as "hybrid models". These Runners allow a Duel Disk to be attached to them, rather than have the Duel Disk connected directly to the interface. This allows a Duelist to use the same Duel Disk in both Ground and Turbo Duels.

Season 2 introduces Duel Boards, customized skateboards built to allow children to participate in Turbo Duels.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, Duel Runners are reintroduced into the series with the introduction of Yugo, a mysterious Synchro Duelist. A new Field Spell Card, "Speed World - Neo", is also introduced but it does not possess any kind of unique effects such as Speed Counters and the exclusive use of Speed Spell Cards.

Wheelie Breakers
In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's Wheelie Breakers, some characters who don't have Duel Runners in the anime use virtual ones to duel in the Virtual Terminal Turbo Dueling system.
