| Yusei begins his ride to New Domino City to face Jack. On the way, Trudge forces him into another Turbo Duel. With only three minutes left to make it out of the pipeline, and Trudge's Gate Blocker preventing him from gaining Speed Counters, Yusei seems to be getting desperate until he pulls out a special monster given to him by Rally. But his plan backfires when Trudge activates a trap to summon out two more Gate Blockers. Then Trudge tunes his Jutte Fighter to one of the Gate blockers to Synchro Summon Goyo Guardian. Yusei counters with Nitro Warrior and attacks Goyo Guardian. Since he activated a speed spell Nitro Warrior gains 1000 ATK during the battle with Goyo Guardian.

| Yusei and Jack's battle continues, with Yusei finally regaining control of Stardust Dragon. Both Yusei and Jack's arms burn when Stardust and Red Dragon Archfiend clash, and both their arms start to glow red. Whenever Stardust and Red Dragon Archfiend attack each other the Energy machine spikes with tremendous power. A third Dragon appears in the sky with no clear defined shape that is blazing red.

| Yusei is arrested and sent to a detention center, where he meets an old man named Yanagi, who duels using what he calls his "Hidden Treasure" deck. Yanagi faces off against another prisoner, Bolt Tanner - and is shortly revealed to be a very poor duelist. Although lacking skills, he still cares deeply about his cards, something Yusei can relate to. Meanwhile, Goodwin reviews Jack's duel with Yusei, and discovers that, had they not been interrupted by the appearance of the Crimson Dragon, Jack would have been defeated. Right before they lost power Yusei activated Meteor Stream which deals 1000 points of damage to the opponent when a monster is resummoned to the field.

| Yusei is caught in Armstrong's trap - not only is he forced to discard ten cards each turn, each Life Point lost also delivers a painful electric shock. Armstrong has disabled the electric current to his own Duel Disk, and thus does not feel any pain, until Alex breaks into the control room. He starts the current flowing again, but Armstrong just gets back up and keeps going. Despite the overwhelming odds, Yusei is able to pull through and win the duel using the trap card blasting the ruins. He is allowed to leave the prison. | |||
