 Rather than play all stages of the game in a full run, the player chooses one of the five stages to play, each one which contains '''its own area rank''', which influences how the stage will play out in real-time. The arrange mode is '''nearly infinitely re-playable''', due to the massive amount of potential runs a stage can have (each requiring a slightly different strategy of approach) and the high level of "customization" possible due to these factors. Aside from being noticeably visually distinct, it is also the most uniquely-playing addition to ''DaiFukkatsu'', requiring a completely different strategy and mentality in order to succeed. Arrange B is likely the least-played and least-explored arrange mode in DFK.

-Durability rank ranges from 0 to 223, while speed and density range from 0 to 669. The speed and density ranks can be further subdivided into "neutral", "shot", and "laser" portions, each ranging from 0 to 223. The sum of these values is displayed to the player. When an enemy is destroyed, its speed and density ranks increase according to the chart below. Durability rank increases in a different fashion; it increases by 1 if an enemy is destroyed before it can shoot. These values are multiplied by the level of the expert gauge, which can be 1, 2, or 3. Enemy rank increase does not occur if an enemy is destroyed while a bomb is active.

 Enemy score is a function of its durability, hit points, speed rank, and density rank, as well as global speed rank and global density rank. The score equation is altered slightly depending on grid color as well. The formula for enemy score will be broken up below to reduce complexity. These formulas are calculated from an enemy's new speed and density ranks after it is destroyed, but before its durability rank is updated.

 Divide the first HP term by 10 instead of 20 if you destroy the enemy while the blue grid is active or if you destroy the enemy with auto while no grid is active.

-Some enemies consist of 2 or more parts. Some ground tanks, for example, have a turret and a body. For the purpose of score and rank calculation, the tank has one durability, speed, and density rank; however, destroying the entire tank counts as 2 separate kills. Hence, score is incremented twice and that enemy's rank increases twice. With regards to durability rank, whenever you destroy an enemy part, the game checks if the enemy (''not'' the individual enemy part) has fired yet. If the enemy hasn't fired, durability rank is increased. If it has fired, durability rank is unchanged.

-All five Element Daughters (bosses) and the DoDonPachi bosses (mid-bosses) each have their own Boss Ranks (Boss Speed Rank and Boss Density Rank), which influences all of their bullet patterns each run. Boss rank starts at 0, and can increase up to 1440. Boss speed and density ranks can be broken down into two parts, a "base" and an "at-risk" portion, each ranging from 0 to 720. The base value never decreases. If you get hit while using auto, the boss’s at-risk speed rank decreases by 1. If you get hit while using laser, the boss’s at-risk density rank decreases by 1. The rules for increasing boss speed and density ranks are dependent on grid color, and will be explained further below. Boss rank does not increase if you defeat it with a bomb.
