In the second season, after ending the war within his homeworld, he returns to Earth and faces off against the new leaders of MIK; Phaser Ryugu and Tremolo Ryugu, and later on, Kuaidal Velgear, the first Velgearian created by The Creator. In the third season, he faces off against the Dark Matter Empire led by his ally Yuamu Ohdo, then Yuhi Ohdo after he became "Otes" due to Yuamu's actions before facing off against Otes in the Sengoku era.

After defeating Kuaidal, the latter vanishes but later revives within Yudias' body, becoming his partner and giving him the ability to Ritual Summon.

In the third season, Yuhi uses the "Monster Reborn" card and Dark Power to erase his memories and become "Otes" to ensure that Yuga Ohdo's future comes to pass. He then attempts to use Yuna Goha's Time Machine to enter Yuga's era. However, he is ultimately defeated by Yudias and he loses his Dark Power after ending up in the Sengoku era due to Yuna's Time Machine, returning to his former self.

However, she is defeated by Yudias after she took over for Yuga in the final Duel, before then sending Yuga back to his timeline.

In the third season, she goes missing after disappearing in a dark storm and she later appears in the Dark Matter Space surrounded by the deceased Velgearians. Yuamu uses the Dark Power of the Dark Matter Space to become the Dark Meister, creating the Dark Matter Empire and eventually becoming the main antagonist of the third season. She planned to obtain "Monster Reborn" to erase her memories and become Otes. However, she ultimately fails in her efforts when Yuhi becomes Otes instead.

He is responsible for giving Yudias his Duel Disk and cards. Referred as "That Guy" (アイツ, Aitsu), Yuga works at the Goha Company for Yuna.

In the second season, Yuga eventually gives up hope of returning to his timeline in the future and instead resolves to take on the identity of Otes. To this end, he attempted to prevent the recreation of the "Monster Reborn" card after Yudias and his allies believed that it could revive the Velgearians following their disappearance. He is then opposed by Yuhi and Yudias, but is injured during their Duel and is replaced by Yuamu, who ultimately loses the Duel in his place.

Yuhi is the one that ultimately succeeds in briefly becoming "Otes" much to everyone's horror, but after his loss to Yudias, Yuhi is returned to normal. It is later revealed that Otes was transported to the Sengoku era following his Duel with Yuga; he recreated Rush Duels in that era and adopted the name of Oteiusu.
