Primo Primo , known as Placido in the Japanese version , is a character in " Yu - Gi - Oh ! 5D ' s " . He is one of Aporia ' s three embodiments of despair , one of the Three Pure Nobles of Iliaster , and one of the main antagonists of the second season , with Lester and Jakob . As one of the Three Nobles , he is working to complete the Grand Design . He impatiently started several plans of his own agenda in attempt to force the completion of the circuit by attacking the WRGP preliminaries with the Diablo Duelbot Army . Yusei Fudo thwarted the invasion by defeating him , and after being repaired Primo began supporting Jakob ' s plan by joining the WRGP as a part of Team New World . Primo is one of the few left - handed Duelists in the franchise , along with his other embodiments as well as Paradox and Bruno . Design . Appearance . Primo is a young man that appears to be an intermediate between Jakob and Lester in height . Like the other Nobles of Iliaster , Primo wears primarily white cloak - like clothing , over his own black and white riding suit and carries a sword . He has a gray metallic eyepiece that covers his right eye , and a triangular green circuitry - filled gem on his forehead , set off - center towards the left . He wears white hood , with decorative gray lightning bolts that point backwards like horns . Under his hood , he is pale - skinned , red - eyed and has spiky gray hair split down the middle into two different shades . He has a bald spot above his right eye with and small mark in the middle . Underneath his left eye , Primo has a scar that runs down his cheek . Primo is dressed in gray metallic armor , the major portion of which forms a large hoop - like collar around his neck that connects to encircle a large green gem on his chest , giving its Infinity - themed look . A piece of armor runs down his back and opens up to reveal a series of ports , which attach to tubes on his Duel Runner . The armor pieces around his waist holds up a white train - like cloak that covers his legs . Underneath his armor , Primo wears a white turtle - neck body suit with a black stripe that runs down the center . Primo also wears white thigh - high boots with hidden data ports that can attach to his Duel Runner , as well as arm length black and white sleeve covers that are adorned with red gems at the wrist and upper arm . These seem to be part of his body as it is revealed that his Deck , and Deck holder rests in a space inside his arm that can be accessed by opening the jewel at his wrist . Primo was ripped in half upon being defeated by Yusei , however he later returns having been fully rebuilt and is shown with new red marks on his face , one beneath his left eye , and another that runs down the left side of his face , and on coming from the side of his face . His hair also is spikier than it previously was . Primo carries his sword on his right side ( because he ' s left - handed ) . Gold with an infinity symbol between the hilt and the blade , the sword serves to create portals , as a Duel Disk , and as the key that allows Primo to combine with his Duel Runner : the T - 666 Terrible Omen . It is stored in a long black scabbard that seems to float at Primo ' s waist . In episode 77 , Primo disguised himself as Lester ' s butler , a red eyed , dark hair man of average height . He wore a black suit with a red ascot above a white shirt and had neat black hair slicked back . Personality . Primo has a strong sense of pride . He takes his work of fixing the future very seriously , works with all his intelligence to get the job done . However , Primo ' s pride also leads him to take actions too far , leading to arrogance , disrespect , impatience , and being short tempered . Of his negative qualities , disrespect is the most noticeable . Primo refused to follow Jakob or his commands , because the premise of Jakob ' s plan was that the Nobles , including Primo himself , were not strong enough to complete the Grand Design on their own power . He also disdains humanity as a whole because their unnecessary evolution has created a catastrophic future , and even goes as far to take his rage out on what he believes to be the symbol of that future : Synchro Monster s . Primo holds a lot of pride in his status . He believes that humans are lesser beings to his kind and is offended by their insubordination . During his Duel with Yusei , he is deeply offended as Yusei passes him on his Duel runner , unable to suppress his rage as a mere human rides before him . Primo is also short tempered . He ' s easily offended by Lester ' s jeers and threatens Lazar with his sword whenever he steps out of line . Yusei Fudo angers Primo more than anyone else , as he interfered with Ghost , Team 5D ' s thwarting of " Hook the Hidden Knight " ( which resulted in Primo attacking with the Diablo ) , and later Yusei received a tablet from Iliaster ' s God . One of the more unique aspects of Primo ' s personality is his adherence to determinism , or the belief that actions are predestined to take place . This view feeds his disdain for humanity because he believes that even if humanity wanted to change , they were poisoned with a destiny that they could never possibly overcome . Feeling above this poisoned destiny , Primo feels no shame in putting lives in danger or threatening to destroy an entire city because humanity is doomed either way . Primo ' s obsession with Yusei seems to have become the focal point of his life . While Dueling Jack Atlas he didn ' t so much as try to Duel him reminding him that he isn ' t Yusei and thus not his " prey " . Abilities . Primo ' s primary power is his ability to interact and manipulate machinery and electronics , also know as . This allows him to control and monitor any number of robots and machines , notably Ghost , the Guard Robot , and the Diablo , without ever typing or directly interacting with the machinery in question , this could also explain why punching Bruno had a powerful effect on Bruno . This interaction is further exemplified in Episode 107 , when Primo is able to interface and merge directly into the T - 666 Terrible Omen . The physical merge as well as his subsequent destruction following his defeat by " Shooting Star Dragon " shows that part of the secret to his ability as a technopath is that he is an android himself . Like Lester and Jakob , Primo is capable of inflicting real damage to the players during a Duel through a the use of a white band of light shaped like an infinity symbol , that appears on the road . In episode 108 , Primo shows to some extent , control over the weather as he unleashes a lightning storm onto Neo Domino City . The storm knocked out the power to the entire city , and later , Primo would take the storm one step further in another attempt to stop Yusei by having " Wisel " create a tornado . Sword . Primo possesses an incredibly sophisticated and multi - functional sword that he keeps stored in a hilt on his hip . The sword can be used as a normal sword , as seen when Primo uses it to threaten Lazar . The sword is shown to be capable of slicing through the very fabric of space and create portals , allowing Primo or its wielder to traverse great distances or move with ease similar to teleportation . In addition , his sword also serves as the key needed to activate the code that allows Primo to merge with his Duel Runner , T - 666 Terrible Omen . While Primo Turbo Duel s in this merged form , the sword ' s hilt splits in half and projects a sheet of green light , turning into a Duel Disk . It is also revealed in " Yu - Gi - Oh ! 5D ' s Tag Force 5 " that in regular Duels , the sword ' s blade can also split in half and function as Primo ' s Duel Disk . Biography . History . In a future , where most of humanity is wiped out by what was believed to be Ener - D , Aporia was one of the few human survivors . He and the other survivors , Antinomy , Z - one and Paradox worked on a way to restore the world to the way it once was . Shortly before Aporia died , he requested that Z - one split him into three incarnations based on the three major despairs of his life . Z - one complied and the three embodiments of despair , Lester , Primo and Jakob were created and sent to the past . Primo is Aporia ' s early adult years , and was the embodiment of despair Aporia suffered after losing the one he loved . Pre - World Racing Grand Prix . Primo , Jakob and Lester arrived at the crash site of tablet from space outside of New Domino City . Primo was pleased to find that the tablet contained the monster belonging to him , commenting that Jakob and Lester would not get a chance to fight as he could do it all . Sector Security arrived on the scene , including Lazar , the Iliaster operative they were meant to meet earlier . Primo asked for their assistance in moving the tablet , but Lazar demanded to know who they were and ordered them to clear the scene . Primo returned the disrespect by pointing his sword at Lazar ' s face . Lazar quickly apologized and complied with Primo ' s orders , after being told that they were the three new directors of Sector Security . While on site , Primo decided that he would need to test out his new monster . Primo stole a prototype Duelbot from Sector Security and took direct control of it , arming it with his own Deck . He used it to attack Turbo Duel ists at night , and the droid became known as Ghost . After about a week of attacks , Sector Security started hunting for Ghost , resulting in Trudge being hospitalized after losing to Ghost . Yusei Fudo , Jack Atlas , and Crow Hogan hunted down Ghost and Yusei engaged in a Turbo Duel . Primo quickly took the upper hand by Summoning " Meklord Emperor Wisel " and using it to absorb Yusei ' s " Stardust Dragon " . Through Ghost , Primo declared Synchro Monster s to be a waste of human evolution , that he intended to remove from history . Yusei was going to lose , but then then got last minute help from the Crimson Dragon , allowing him to play " Majestic Star Dragon " , and win . Ghost was destroyed after the Duel , but arrived at the crash site before anyone else and recovered his Deck . Glancing at " Majestic Star Dragon " , he promised that this would not be the last time they faced each other . Primo , Jakob and Lester were at the World Racing Grand Prix opening ceremony , observing the guests from the back room . Primo disagreed with Jakob ' s plan to use the WRGP participants to complete the Grand Design , as he felt that their own strength was enough to force the circuit to completion . Primo was disgusted at the idea that they needed to rely on humanity to complete their work ( in the dub , this was because Jakob misspoke their plan as " his plan " . ) Dobocle tried to crash the party by riding his Duel Runner through the party hall . Primo was initially entertained by this , but after Akiza Izinski chased Dobocle with her powers as a Psychic Duelist , Primo became disappointed in Sector Security ' s inability to catch up to Dobocle . Primo took it upon himself to go after Dobocle , and set out on Terrible Omen . He streaked past Security , who mistook him for Ghost , as his Duel Runner was not registered in their database . Primo caught up with Dobocle and defeated him in a Turbo Duel , mercilessly causing him to crash . Primo returned to Lester and Jakob , where the three of them noticed Yusei Fudo was Dueling Vizor . They didn ' t see Vizor perform his Accel Synchro Summon because it caused the video feed to jam . The Nobles were impressed as the Duel completed a portion of the Grand Design , causing Primo to wonder what it was that caused the feed to jam . So he decided to ask the source and set out after the Duelist . Primo quickly caught up with him and wanted to know what he had just done , but the turbo Duelist answered him that he had come to stop them . Primo was shocked that he knew who they were , and demanded to know exactly who he was . The Duelist refused to answer , which was an answer that Primo did not like . The unidentified Duelist then told him that he would make sure they were undone by the Accel Synchro Summon , which bewildered Primo . Before he could try to get anymore information out of the Duelist , the Duelist rammed Primo because he was about to run over a kitten in the middle of the road . As a result , the mysterious Duelist lost control of his Duel Runner and crashed off a cliff and into the ocean . Primo then just shrugged the matter off , assuming the guy to be dead . Following the WRGP dinner , the three Nobles went to their thrones and monitored the Duel lanes from there . Following Akiza Izinski passing her Turbo Dueling Exams , Primo watched Yusei turbo Duel with her . However , the Duel was not activating circuits on the Grand Design , so Lester called the Duel a bore , but Jakob figured that when the time came , the Signer s would fulfill their purpose in his plan . Primo though interrupted Jakob , asking him if he was so certain . Jakob did not know what Primo was talking about , so Primo clarified that the Crimson Dragon still posed a threat , adding it ' s what ruined Rex Goodwin ' s plans , and it could be the undoing of their plans . Lester asked Primo what he intended to do about it , to which Primo responded that he would Duel Yusei Fudo , defeat him , and then take Stardust Dragon from him . Lester though just laughed at the idea , pointing out it was ridiculous . Primo became apprehensive as Lester pointed out that Primo had already lost to Yusei once ; a fact that angered Primo , but the issue was dropped because Lester ' s tablet arrived . Lester cheered that he knew that Primo could not have been enough to complete their plans on their own , a statement that just got a grunt from Primo . In Episode 77 , Lester went undercover as a wealthy transfer student at Duel Academy , with Primo disguised his butler . When Lester brought Luna to his mansion , Primo was waiting in the foyer , and obliged to Lester ' s request for refreshments . As he made his way to get the refreshments , he noticed Leo climbing over the front gate from the security camera , and commented to himself that it looked like they would have one more guest . However , he ignored Leo for the most part and instead went about preparing the refreshments . When Primo walked out to the courtyard to deliver the drinks to Lester and Luna , he noticed that Leo was making his way off the property . Primo brought the drinks down as Luna practiced using her new Duel Board . Lester at first asked about Leo ' s whereabouts , to which Primo responded that he thought that the extra guest had left . So Lester went on to apologize for making Primo be his butler , but Primo responded that he did not mind . He was curious to see the Signer ' s power for himself as well , a comment that made Lester chuckle . Primo then spent the rest of Lester ' s test watching him Duel against Leo and Luna from his throne along with Jakob . Primo commented that Lester was acting immature after he summoned " Meklord Emperor Skiel " , but Jakob just responded that he was being a child . As the Duel came to a close , Primo and Jakob were shocked to see Leo be saved by the Crimson Dragon after Lester defeated him , and was stunned when Luna was saved from death by the Duel Spirits . Following Lester ' s victory though , all traces of Lester were removed from the timeline , including the house and Primo as a butler . After Lester finished testing Leo and Luna , Primo started preparing his own surprise for the WRGP . Tired of and offended by Jakob ' s plan of waiting for humanity and the Signers to complete the Grand Design , Primo hatched his own plan to complete the Circuit . But in order to complete it , he needed a program that Yusei Fudo and Bruno had just finished . So he tasked Lazar with procuring the program from them by any means necessary . Lazar successfully broke into their shop and stole the program , but in the middle of the theft , Lazar made the mistake of leaving a fingerprint on a wrapper of a cup ramen that he ate because he was hungry . After obtaining the program , Lazar contacted Primo over the holophone the next afternoon to inform Primo that he obtained the program . Primo asked if he had done anything that would expose his actions , and Lazar assured Primo that he left no evidence behind . Primo liked the answer , so he ordered Lazar to bring the program to him immediately . Stunned , Lazar asked if he meant him personally , and angered by the question , Primo pulled his sword on Lazar over the phone , telling him that was obvious , and repeated for him to bring the program immediately . Intimidated , Lazar obliged and left for the factory . When Lazar arrived , Primo was not pleased because Lazar was late , calling him a stupid clown . Lazar apologized because he had been chased by rats , but since he ' d given them the slip , there was nothing to worry about . Lazar handed the program over to Primo , who was pleased because Lazar had done well for a clown . He told Lazar he did good work , and Lazar was pleased , boasting that even as vice - director of Sector Security , he wouldn ' t have left something like this to one of his subordinates because of the risk of exposing Primo . So he personally took the program . Lazar then asked in exchange for snatching the program , could he know . Primo asked if Lazar could know what , and Lazar responded that he wanted to know what Primo intended to do with the stolen program . Primo responded by pulling his sword and pointing it at Lazar ' s nose . Primo added that it was of no concern to Lazar , and it would be safer if he didn ' t know ( in the dub , Lazar asked to be payed , and Primo responds by pointing his sword at Lazar and comments that Lazar gets his mercy ) . The tense moment was interrupted by Primo being alerted that Yusei Fudo and Bruno had infiltrated the factory . Lazar , mortified as Primo called him an idiot for being followed , excused himself and saluting Primo , ran out of the control room . Primo turned his attention to Yusei and Bruno , realizing that they had come to get their program back . Primo walked to the keyboard , and waving his hand over it , triggered the alarm and activated the security doors . Yusei however managed to get past the lockdown door before it shut , so Primo went to the basement . Knowing that all that was left for him to do their was install the program , Primo went to a Guard Robot , telling it to bid him the time he needed to finish his work . Then extending his left hand out , he shot an electrical charge that brought the Guard Robot online . The robot immediately traveled to Yusei , who was trying to interrogate Lazar , and once the robot confirmed Yusei ' s identity , it sealed the corridor and told Yusei that he could not through until he accepted its challenge to Duel and defeated him . Primo though , had returned to the control room , where he commented to himself that the Guard Robot was perfect to stall Yusei because it had been programmed with knowledge and strategies to counter Yusei ' s Duel history , strategies , and Yusei Fudo ' s Decks . Primo then noticed Bruno come to the building security ' s attention because he had approached a locked door , leading to the Diablo ' s storeroom , and was picking it . Primo was getting ready to install the program , but he did not want any intruders , so he teleported to the doorway and told Bruno he should not have come there . Bruno was reacted to Primo with a deja vu feeling , which also gave him a headache , but the moment was short - lived as Primo punched Bruno in the gut , knocking him unconscious . He commented that no one would get in his way . Primo then proceeded to the terminal in the room , declaring that he would give the Diablo new life with the best programs available . So he plugged in the stolen program and as the program started giving life to the Diablo , Primo commented to himself that with the greatest Duelbots being born , Yusei needed to enjoy the time he had left . So Primo continued watching the Duel as the program uploaded to the entire Diablo . Minutes later , as Primo enjoyed Yusei ' s struggle with the Guard Robot , Jakob contacted Primo , asking him what he thought he was doing . Primo responded that he was executing a plan of his own and asked Jakob to stop monitoring him . Jakob though responded that if Primo proceeded as he planned , then his own plans would go to waste . Primo just told Jakob he didn ' t give a damn about his plans and hung up on him . After hanging up on Jakob , Primo noticed that the download was complete , so he ordered the Diablo to awaken . The Diablo came online and started riding out of the factory . Primo returned to the control room as the last of the Diablo left the factory . With them gone , Primo commented that time was up , and turning his attention to Yusei ' s Duel with the Guard Robot , commented that he was not as soft - hearted as Jakob . When he noticed that Yusei ' s friends were there , he commented that it was perfect . And saying that he could not leave any evidence of the factory behind , Primo put his hand over the keyboard and triggered the ten minute self - destruct sequence . Primo commented that the Signers and their dragons would be annihilated here . And with that comment , Primo drew his sword , cut a open a portal with it , and left the factory . Primo ' s plans to kill the Signers though did not work as everyone was able to escape before the explosion . After Primo brought the Diablo online , Jakob devised his own plan to activate more circuits along the Grand Design , partly as an attempt to show Primo his plan would not be a waste and to have all three of them work together . So the Three Nobles sent a Fake Jack Atlas to create trouble . Primo ' s part of the plan was the creation of the impostor , which was an android programmed to be a malicious Jack . Once it was set loose , it was quickly discovered by the real Jack Atlas , who pursued the impostor in hopes of clearing his name . Jack failed and was thrown into the ocean , where he was captured by Iliaster and kept in a cell where he watched his impostor continue to attack . While observing Jack Atlas , Primo asked why they had not disposed of him , but Jakob responded that Jack was connected to the Crimson Dragon so he did not want to risk its interference . Lester just commented on the matter that after forging Jack Atlas ' s Deck , which was a pain , the Crimson Dragon would be their problem if it did interfere . In a short time though , Jack escaped from the cave he was being held in and went after his impostor again , only this time he won and obliterated the impostor . Primo commented that with the impostor ' s defeat , it looked like Jakob ' s plan had been a waste of time . Lester at first agreed with Primo , but when the resulting Duel completed another circuit on the Circuit , Lester and Jakob were pleased with the result . Primo though just sat in his throne . World Racing Grand Prix . Sometime later , Sherry LeBlanc and Elsworth took over the Sector Security building , which was brought to the Three Nobles attention once the building was forced into lock down . Lester found the situation amusing , but Primo was disappointed . He blamed Lazar , who had abandoned his post after almost being killed in the factory , for the breach at Sector Security . Jakob though told both of them to dismiss the trivial matter because they were far too busy to deal with it . Unbeknownst to Primo and the other Nobles though , Sherry , Bruno , and Yusei Fudo all encountered Z - one through Sherry ' s " Z - ONE " card . Sometime during this period , Primo also set in motion another attempt to thwart Jakob ' s plan at the WRGP by circulating Cards of Darkness to Team Catastrophe . Primo appeared before Hermann , causing him to crash , but following the crash , Primo offered Nicolas the card " Hook the Hidden Knight " . He promised them that as long as they used that card , they would not be confined to their lives of poverty , and they would win all their Duels . And to top it all , he tempted them with the prospect that it could lead them to be King . The prospect of King grabbed all three of their attentions . Nicolas responded that using Cards of Darkness sounded interesting , but Hermann and Hans were both skeptical about using the card . Hans wondered if they should really be using a card like that while Hermann pointed out that " Card of Darkness " sounded like bad news ; Hermann added that Primo gave him the creeps , but when he glanced back at where he stood , Primo had already teleported away . When the WRGP did begin , Primo watched the first round of matches with Lester and Jakob from his throne , including Team 5D ' s match against Team Unicorn . The resulting matches led to numerous circuits along the Grand Design to be completed . Lester was amazed by the gradual completion , while Jakob commented that once the Circuit was complete , the future would change . Primo though silently watched , still offended by Jakob ' s approach . With Team Catastrophe facing Team 5D ' s , Primo personally watched the match from the roof of the Duel Stadium . As he watched both teams prepare to start the race , Lester appeared behind Primo , telling him he knew that something was off about Team Catastrophe ' s Duels . Primo was apprehensive at first , but then Lester claimed that he was not responsible for anything Primo did all on his own , regardless of what Jakob did when ever he found out . Primo just responded that the geezer has been dragging his feet when it comes to the WRGP , so Primo decided to do things his own way . Lester just wished Primo luck as the starting horn sounded . Primo watched the Duel between Hermann and Crow with silent intent up until Crow defeated Hermann and took out " Hook the Hidden Knight " permanently . Lester taunted Primo with how his plan was looking to be a wash , but Primo just continued watching the match as Jack Atlas and Nicolas Dueled . Nicolas quickly revealed that he had received another card of darkness from Primo along with " Hook " : " Doom Ray " . Nicolas played the card to force a draw and crash Jack , but Nicolas quickly found out that he was not immune to his own card of darkness . Jack Atlas saved himself with his " Power Giant " , and also saved Nicolas as well , but when Nicolas ' s Duel Runner was destroyed and Team 5D ' s declared the winners and a guaranteed spot in the Top Eight spot , Lester declared Primo ' s plan an official wash and asked him for his opinion on why his plans always failed , but Primo had left long ago . Primo left the Duel Stadium and went to a large warehouse where he released the Diablo Duelbot Army . Standing on a roof , he pointed at New Domino City and ordered the army to descend the city into chaos . The Diablo then drove through New Domino until they forced their way into the Duel Lanes system , where the Diablo fanned out and began hunting down WRGP participants . Once they began to crash them through Turbo Duels , Primo continued watching the Duels from the rooftops as the explosions began , declaring that the WRGP has switched to Battle Royal Mode . He then urges humanity to draw out the Grand Design if they valued their lives . As the Diablo attack continued though , Primo began to notice that Duelbots were being slowly picked off . His immediate conclusion was that Yusei Fudo was interfering . This began to infuriate Primo , but before he could do anything , Jakob contacted Primo directly through the patch over his right eye . Primo , already angry that Yusei turning the tide of the Diablo , told the old man to go away ; he was busy right now . Jakob though asked Primo what he thought he was doing . Primo just spits that Jakob is being too lax , and that by forcing the Duels , the Circuit would surface in no time at all . Jakob though tried to reason with Primo , telling him that he didn ' t understand , explaining that forcing the fight would not bring about humanity ' s true potential , and the result is a true Circuit would never form . Lester though butts in , adding that Yusei Fudo was already involved . Lester concluded from the fact that Yusei had defeated Primo once , so there wasn ' t reason for Primo to not listen to Jakob . Primo was infuriated as Lester laughed at his own comment , so Primo declared that he was doing this his own way and cut the transmission by pressing the eye patch . Primo , now alone once more , declares that Yusei should not get ahead of himself , and decides to prove to Yusei that he would never be defeated by the likes of humanity . Primo then recalls the entire remaining Diablo from attack the WRGP and sends it to fight Yusei in one concentrated attack . Yusei , Sherry LeBlanc , and Elsworth held off the Diablo at first , but after their turns , Primo declared that the time had come for those runts to disappear . The Diablo then began to progressively take their own turns , striking hard with each of their progressive turns with no sight of any more turns for Yusei or the others . The Diablo defeated Sherry and Elsworth with little effort , leaving Yusei with the only option of trying to outrun the Diablo . Primo just watched from the rooftops , laughing at Yusei ' s impending defeat . As the Diablo reduce Yusei ' s Life Points , the mysterious Duelist , now revealed to be Bruno , reappeared with part of his memory restored ( by Z - one ) and aided Yusei in escaping from the onslaught of " Ally Salvos " . Primo , witnessing Yusei attempting to escape with the mysterious Duelist , jumped off the building he was watching from and called forth the Terrible Omen . Then as he fell , he evaporated his hood and waist cloak in a similar transformation scene that Bruno had to transform into his Vizor alter ego , except with red codes instead of green . When his helmet appeared on his head , Primo grabbed hold of his T - 666 ' s controls and speed after Yusei and Bruno . When Primo caught up to them , Yusei demanded to know if Primo was the one controlling all the Ghost robots , to which Primo remarked that it didn ' t matter . Primo then tried to challenge Yusei to a Turbo Duel , but Vizor instead rammed Primo , forcing him to spin out and fall behind . But Primo did not stay behind for long . Primo kicked on his Terrible Omen ' s overboosters , yelling that he and Yusei were going to Duel and caught up quickly . But when he caught back up to Yusei and Bruno , Yusei had vanished and only Bruno was left . Primo demanded to know what had had happened to Yusei , but Vizor answered that Yusei was going to discover a new possibility , so he was Primo ' s opponent . Primo then remembered Vizor as the mysterious Duelist from that evening at the WRGP opening dinner and realized that his presumption that he had died that night was wrong . Primo then demanded to know who he was , but Vizor just responded that he was not entitled to answer someone who was about to disappear . Grinning , Primo then declared that he ' d just have to use force instead . As the Duel began , Primo began almost immediately with " | Meklord Emperor Wisel " by using the trap Twin Vortex , but Bruno quickly countered by setting up both his " T . G . Wonder Magician " and " T . G . Cyber Magician " for an Accel Synchro Summon ; however , Primo saw through the strategy , and before Vizorcould Accel Synchro Summon , a half dozen Diablo Duelbots joined the match and prevented Vizor from reaching the speed he needed to do the Summon . Vizor cursed at Primo , but Primo just reminded Vizor that Battle Royal Mode was still active . The Duelbots quickly began to turn the Duel against Vizor , but then Yusei returned to the scene to face off against Primo and stop his invasion against the city . Primo accepted the challenge , but before they began Jakob contacted Primo through the Terrible Omen . Just as Primo is about to start his Turbo Duel with Yusei , Jakob tried to stop Primo from Dueling Yusei by contacting him through his Duel Runner , warning him that Yusei had a new found power . Primo was at first confused and apprehensive , but Lester explained that Yusei had gotten a tablet from God . Jakob explained that he could not guarantee his safety and he was to return immediately . Primo , enraged by the other Nobles ' lack of confidence in him , cut the transmission and told Yusei that he would show his own real powers . Primo ' s eye piece began to glow as he stands up on his Terrible Omen as Yusei watched in confusion . Primo draws his sword and inserts it into a slot on the control panel of the Terrible Omen . For a moment , the Duel runner becomes enveloped in green code and mathematical formulas , then it glows and transforms . The two front wheels of the Terrible Omen merge into a single wheel as the boosters merge and change shape . Primo launches himself into the air as his helmet shatters . In the air , his hip slits apart and the joints in his legs change shape , data ports emerge from the bottoms of his shoes . He lands back on the Terrible Omen and is merged into it . The armor piece running down his back splits apart and attaches to a series of pipes on the Terrible Omen , the jewel - like piece on his right arm opens to reveal a Deck holder , and the hilt of the sword embedded in the Duel runner splits apart to form a sheet of green light that becomes his Duel Disk . Primo points at Yusei and declares that he would not escape this time . Primo shows off the full power of his transformation by creating an energy field around himself that shatters the glass and roadways around him . Yusei tries to stop him by ramming him . The first impact surprises Primo , but subsequent impacts fail to stop him . Primo merely scoffs at Yusei and the two Duel . Yusei starts off by Synchro Summoning " Junk Destroyer " and attempting to destroy Primo ' s Set card and " Wisel " . However , Primo activates his Trap Card and protects his monster . After trying countless number of times to absorb Yusei ' s Synchro Monsters , Primo Summons " Skiel Carrier 3 " and " Skiel Carrier 5 " ( which were cards he had secretly stolen from Lester for the Duel ) . As Yusei attempts to perform Accel Synchro , Primo pulls up beside him and reminds him of his father ' s role in the Zero Reverse incident , undermining Yusei ' s confidence and preventing him from achieving the Clear Mind technique necessary for Accel Synchro . Primo laughs at Yusei ' s failure and activates the effect of " Wisel " and absorbing " Stardust Dragon " . Weather patterns begin to change as " Wisel " becomes more powerful , and the resulting tornado and lighting strikes begin to destroy the city . Spurred on by the devastation to the city , Yusei attempts Accel Synchro once more and gains the resolve to succeed , summoning " Shooting Star Dragon " on Primo ' s turn . Primo is shocked when Yusei disappears from the road , remarking " He ' s Gone ! ! " ( " Uh - oh ! " in the dub ) before Yusei reappears immediately behind him with " Shooting Star Dragon " . Primo is not convinced of Yusei ' s strength . He belittles " Shooting Star Dragon " , and activates the effect of " Speed World " in order to destroy " Shooting Star Dragon " . However , Yusei uses its effect and protects it by briefly removing it from play . Primo looked on in disbelief as Yusei proceeds to draw for Tuner monster s from his Deck , his expression turning to horror as Yusei drew the fifth Tuner , " Hyper Synchron " . He commented that it was impossible for the situation to have turned out like this , but Yusei commanded " Shooting Star Dragon " to attack " Wisel " with " Stardust Mirage " . " Shooting Star Dragon " split into five copies , and each copy attacked " Wisel " in turn . Primo announced that the first attack was negated by " Skiel Carrier 5 " . The second attack was blocked by the effect of " Wisel Guard 3 " . Yusei then announced a third attack on Wisel Guard 3 , and with its effect expired , the attack destroyed it as Primo shielded his face from the backlash . Yusei declared his fourth attack on " Wisel Attack 3 " , and Primo screamed in pain as the left arm of " Wisel " was destroyed . Yusei directed his fifth and last attack on " Skiel Carrier 5 " , engulfing Primo in flames as it was destroyed . As " Skiel Carrier 5 " exploded , Primo shouted in disbelief before the realization set in that he and his " Meklord " had been done in by a human ( in the dub , the realization set was that his " Meklord " was beaten and least of all by Yusei ) .
