Akiza Izinski ( Tag Force ) Akiza Izinski , known as Aki Izayoi ( アキ , " Izayoi Aki " ) in the Japanese version , is a character in the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! 5D ' s Tag Force " video games . This is a video game depiction of Akiza Izinski . Akiza has Psychic powers , which are unstable at first , causing her to become a pariah , labeled the Black Rose , or Black Rose Witch ( の , " Kurobara no Majo " ) in the Japanese version . In each game , the player can Tag Duel with her , in two different stories , one of which will feature her in her Duel Academy uniform . Biography . Black Rose . Akiza became feared due to her Psychic Dueling powers . As such , she left Duel Academy to seek salvation from her parents . However she became distraught after seeing them living peacefully without her . In desperation , she donned a mask and ravaged the Daimon Area , earning her the nickname " Black Rose " , or " Black Rose Witch " in the Japanese version . As the Black Rose , she met Sayer , the leader of the Arcadia Movement , whom she believed to be the first person to accept her for who she was . Dark Signers . Akiza got the player to take her to the Arcadia Movement building , as she was unable to find her way there without the help of Sayer . When they arrived they met the Dark Signers , Misty Tredwell and Carly Carmine . Carly claimed to have been killed Sayer and after her resurrection as a Dark Signer , returned and killed him . Akiza struggled to believe it at first , but after coming to grips with it , vowed to not let the Dark Signers get away with it . She accused them of taking away all that was dear to her . Misty said that all Carly had done was get revenge and now it was her own turn , to get revenge on the enemy of her brother , Toby . She accused Akiza , the Black Rose , of taking her brother ' s life . Akiza argued that she did not know Misty ' s brother , but Misty insisted Akiza was too ruthless to bother remembering who here victims were . She added that if it were not for Akiza , Carly would not have been killed by Sayer and she in turn would not have killed him . So she blamed Akiza ' s " vile power " for the deaths of her brother , Carly and Sayer . Akiza still refused to forgive the Dark Signers and challenged the two of them to a Tag Duel , with the player as her partner . Having used her " Earthbound Immortal " during her Duel with Sayer , there were no souls left in the vicinity for Carly and Misty to absorb to Summon their " Earthbound Immortal " cards during the Duel . When they lost the Duel , they told Akiza that he had only been playing at a fraction of their power , without the immortals . However , they vowed to show her true meaning of terror , the next time they Duel . Akiza wept the death of Sayer , after they departed . Akiza tried to convince herself that Sayer could not have lost to the Dark Signers and that they only said they did to anger and confuse her . She searched the area , but could not find Sayer or anyone from the Arcadia Movement . She wondered if they were sacrificed to Summon the " Earthbound Immortal " and the others scattered , never to return . Without Sayer and the others , she thought the Arcadia Movement would cease to exist , leaving her with no home or purpose . Akiza contacted the player and brought him back to the Arcadia Movement building . She blamed him for Sayer ' s death , as he had not gotten her the building quick enough to save him . She then challenged him to a Duel , where she would use her Psychic Power to make him feel the pain that she had felt . Yusei Fudo arrived on the scene , having heard about the building being destroyed . He witnessed the Duel and afterwards tried to convince Akiza that she has many friends . Akiza denied this , saying she has only hurt people and driven them apart , including her parents , and the one who saved her from that existence , Sayer , was her only friend . With Sayer and the Arcadia Movement gone , she again claimed to have no friends or home . Yusei disagreed and inquired as to whether she could feel a connection between her and the player during the Duel . He stated that the player cared for her and that he and the Signers were her friends . Akiza kept thinking about why Misty accused her of killing her brother . She could not remember harming anyone like him . She decided to go to the Arcadia Movement building to look for records and enrolled the player for help . As she did so , she apologized for turning on him before . The two went to the archive room , but were stopped by Hiroshi Kumakura ( Lioside ) and Yasuto Suzuki ( Hose ) from Sector Security . Suzuki explained that there was evidence of a large scale accident , involving many missing people , so the area was to be off limits to the public , while they investigated . Kumakura advised that they leave before they got hurt , but Akiza refused , stating that she needed to get something . When Kumakura reminded her that the area was closed to the general public , she responded that she was not part of the general public , as she was a member of the Arcadia Movement . However that led them to believe she could be involved . Akiza refused to answer their questions , so they challenged her to a Duel . The player and Akiza won the Duel and Akiza said that the Securities should thank her for not hurting them any worse than she did . They then went inside the building and searched the documents . Akiza learned that Misty ' s brother was a member of the Arcadia Movement , who had died during an experiment conducted by Sayer . One night , Akiza met Misty , who asked her to come to the Ccarayhua tower , where they would settle things . The next day , Akiza visited the player and asked him to come with her . She was sorry to ask this of him , but did not want him to fight . She felt Misty would be more likely to believe him about what happened to Toby than to believe her . At the old Enerdy system , Akiza and the player went to the top of the Ccarayhua tower , where they found Misty . Misty was surprised that Akiza had come , but was unhappy that she brought someone with her . Carly figured that Akiza would do as such , so she came with Misty , so that they could Tag Duel . Akiza insisted that she was not there to Duel , but wanted to talk about Misty ' s brother . She explained that she had no memory of his death and had considered that she may have done while unconsciously . She told Misty about the research she had done ; how Sayer was responsible . She took some of the blame upon herself for being a part of the Arcadia Movement . On hearing this , Misty realized that her revenge had already been fulfilled by Carly and thought that she no longer had any reason to fight . However Misty and Carly became possessed by their Earthbound Immortal s , who instructed them to defeat the Signer . Akiza unsuccessfully tried reaching out to Misty ' s consciousness and was left with no option but to fight . After Akiza and the player won , Akiza and Carly began to vanish . Misty thanked Akiza for showing her the truth , before she left this world . She pointed out that Akiza had no time to mourn , because as a Signer , she had to protect the world . Carly pleaded with Akiza not to forget them , as they disappeared . Akiza turned to the player and said that she had finally figured it out ; she would fight as a Signer to ensure the tragedy does not get any worse . Although , she admitted she did not have time to feel sad , she asked the player for a moment , so she could weep the deaths of Misty and Carly . Learning from Dueling . Akiza heard that Yusei had been abducted , so she turned to the player for help . They went to Combat Lane , where Yusei was last seen . There they met Crow Hogan , whom Akiza got mad at for letting himself get separated from Yusei . Crow accused her of overreacting to the situation and always being extra sensitive on anything concerning Yusei . Akiza blushed and said she did not know what he was talking about . She and the player continued to search the area , while Crow looked elsewhere . Eventually , they found Yusei with Sherry LeBlanc . Yusei noticed Akiza looked worried and asked what was wrong . She told him that she had heard about him getting separated from Crow and Yusei affirmed that he had been kidnapped by a group , who wanted them to join his Duel gang . However he managed to escape and then met Sherry . Sherry introduced herself and said that she thought she and Yusei would make a perfect team . This led Akiza to believe that Sherry was part of the gang that tried to kidnap Yusei and did not believe her when she claimed that was just a coincidence . Yusei defended Sherry and Akiza tried asking how Yusei knew he could trust her . Sherry interrupted , announcing that she and Yusei shared a special connection and have an understanding that may be even deeper than his and Akiza ' s . Akiza was unhappy and remarked that Sherry did not know a thing about Yusei . Crow then arrived and claimed he was right that Akiza had nothing to worry about . However she became furious and demanded that Crow and Sherry Tag Duel her and the player . When Akiza and the player won , Akiza tried to rub it in on Sherry . Sherry was impressed , but reminded Akiza they were not playing " winner gets Yusei " and that it was up to Yusei , who his Tag partner , would be . Akiza blushed and insisted that that was not what the Duel was about . Sherry laughed that she was just kidding and found it cute how sensitive Akiza got . Before leaving , she said that a Duel can teach a lot and that she hoped to see Akiza again . Akiza wondered what she meant and if there was stuff about herself or Yusei that she still needed to learn , but insisted that she did not need Sherry ' s " silly advice " . She thanked the player for being there for her and said that they had a great Duel thanks to him . Akiza was unable to stop dwelling on what Sherry had said a Duel being able to teach her . She could not grasp how Dueling has given Sherry and Yusei a " deeper understanding " . She hoped that by Dueling the player , she might be able to figure it out . Before Dueling , she took the player to the card shop , to buy a pack and also asked for his opinion on what color case and sleeves she should get . She decided to get bread for breakfast and after hearing that the player is not eating breakfast every morning , insisted that he come with her and tittered that they could both get something . Leo spotted the player and Akiza clothes shopping together and told Luna that they were on a date . Luna suggested that they keep quiet , so that they could watch them . When Akiza and the player were buying ice cream , Leo got carried away and said what he wanted when Akiza asked the player what flavor he would like . Leo told Akiza what he had been doing and Luna promised not to tell anyone else about her and the player ' s date . Akiza tried to maintain that it was not a date ; that they were only shopping before Dueling , but the twins did not believe her and pointed out she was blushing . She tried getting the player to tell them it was not a date , but he remained silent . Akiza suggested that they Duel and if the twins won they could call it a date , but if she and the player won , they would consider it to be nothing more than shopping . The player and Akiza won and Akiza reminded the twins of their deal . Leo asked if they could Duel again , but change teams . However Luna told him that they should get going as they did not want to interrupt Akiza and the player ' s " special time together " and then jokingly used " shopping " as a euphemism for " dating " . When the twins left , Akiza asked why he did not defend her claim earlier and expressed that the twins do not believe her because of that . Although things did not go according to plan , she thought it was a good day , since they had gotten their Duel . Before going home , she thanked the player for the Duel and shopping with her . Akiza visited the player and asked if he wanted to go out with her , if he had no plans . She was still bothered by what Sherry had said and wondered what her and Yusei ' s Dueling had that hers lacked . As she was not in a hurry , she suggested that the player get breakfast and offered to make coffee for him . The first thing that came to her head when she thought about the difference between her Dueling and that of Yusei and Sherry ' s was that they used Duel Runner s . So she and the player went to get Duel Runner licenses . She felt that practicing together would be more effective than alone . However Tetsu Trudge advised against it , declaring that Turbo Dueling is too dangerous for women . However Mina Simington told Trudge off for discriminating . The two of them explained that applicants needed to defeat Trudge in a Turbo Duel in order to receive their license . As Mina explained that testing was necessary to reduce accidents caused by people who people who applied for licenses out of impulse or emotion , Trudge affirmed that he felt Akiza fitted into that category of people . Akiza contended that that was not the case and said that she was determined to catch up with Yusei and wanted to see and feel what he does . Mina and Trudge explained that there would be training , followed by a final test Turbo Duel against Trudge . But before the training commenced , she suggested that they have a Standing Duel , to see if it was worth her making the effort . The logic being if she could not win a Standing Duel , she would not have a chance in a Turbo Duel . Akiza accepted that and suggested that they make it a Tag Duel , since there were four of them . When Akiza and the player won , Mina accepted that Akiza was ready to apply for a license . She also mentioned having a feeling , during the Duel , that Akiza was anxious about something . She did not think that simply getting a Duel Runner license would bring Akiza peace and as advice , from an elder , rather than a Duel Runner instructor , advised that she should not rush to find her answer . Akiza admitted that she had been anxious and thought that Dueling might help her understand . Mina said that answers can be found in the middle of Duels and that she was sure Akiza would find the answers she was looking for . Yusei invited Akiza and the player come and see him at Combat Lane . Akiza recognized it as the place where she had Dueled Sherry . Yusei confirmed that and said that he noticed Akiza had been troubled ever since she met Sherry . He apologized for not offering any help , but he thought that taking advice from someone was not the way to solve the problem . He felt that she needed to find her own answer somewhere in the middle of a Duel . He asked if Akiza had come close to finding the answer and suggested that they Duel . Akiza asked if it would be just the two of them , but then Jack Atlas showed up and reminded her that Yusei had also asked the player to come . With the bonds the four of them shared , Yusei was sure a Duel fought by such close friends would teach Akiza something . Akiza thanked them and said that she never thought she would be so happy to Duel before . Crow arrived during the Duel and after Akiza and the player won , he remarked that it was an amazing Duel . Yusei asked if Akiza found the answer and she replied that she was able to feel the bond of their friendship even more vividly during the Duel . She could see things from Yusei ' s perspective and feel his , the player and Jack ' s passion . She called Yusei and the player the best friends she could hope for . As Crow and Jack bickered about not being mentioned , Akiza asked that they not ruin her moment . She announced that she valued the four of them as her best friends and that it was great feeling a bond with friends and understanding each other through Dueling . She added that she treasured the player for sticking with her the whole time . Duel Academy . Duel Academy offered a public experience education course , in which students find a partner they have good chemistry with Tag Duel against others . She asked Yusei if he would be her partner , but he said that something suddenly came up , so she then asked the player . When they arrived at Duel Academy , Naomi and Rayna were arguing over which of them would be Akiza ' s partner . Akiza tried to stop the argument and asked them to stop calling her " Miss Akiza " . Naomi replied that she could not help it , as she admired Akiza so much . Rayna urged Akiza to choose which of them would be her partner and Naomi , tried to shoo the player away , not knowing he was Akiza ' s partner . Naomi was surprised to hear Akiza had chosen a man as her partner and hoped that she was joking . Akiza hoped that this would stop Naomi and Rayna fighting , but Naomi refused to accept it and Rayna asked why Akiza was doing this to them . Naomi admitted that she felt Rayna would even be a better partner for Akiza than the player and begged her to reconsider . Rayna suggested that they Duel and proposed a temporary truce with Naomi , until they managed to get rid of the player . She and Naomi paired up for a Tag Duel against Akiza and the player , with the condition that he could not be Akiza ' s partner if they won . Naomi also proposed that Akiza would get a restraining order against the player if they won . When Akiza and the player won , Naomi asked what they were going to do , now that Akiza was " in the filthy clutches " of the player . Akiza said that it was a great Duel and that Naomi and Rayna really seemed to click . Naomi asserted that they only did it to stop her making a mistake . Akiza admitted that she had been flattered that Naomi and Rayna both wanted her as a partner , but she could not bring it on herself to choose one over the other . She felt that choosing another student would only make the tension between the two of them worse , so she chose the player . Naomi still could not understand why Akiza choose a man . Akiza explained that she knew doing so would make Naomi and Rayna furious enough to Duel . Akiza visited the player to take him somewhere to thank him for his help at the public experience course . However he was asleep when she arrived . She asked him not to injure himself trying to get up for her . She brought him to Cafe la Geen , to get him coffee and asked him for help with her school work . They were interrupted , by the sound of Bright and Simon . Akiza thought this was odd , as she had never seen Bright with a man before , but Bright informed her that it was not how it looked ; Simon would not stop following her , much to her annoyance . However when Simon saw Akiza , he began bothering her too . He asked if he could talk with her over tea , but Akiza turned him down and explained that she already had company . This caused Bright to wonder if Akiza and the player were romantically involved . Akiza insisted that they were not , but Bright asked if she could prove that . She reminded Akiza that it was their duty , as students , to study diligently and thought that Akiza seemed to be neglecting that . Simon interrupted to say that he was in the presence of two beautiful women , but could not choose just one of them , so he suggested that the three of them get tea together . Akiza recommended that they Duel to settle things . If Bright and Simon , won Akiza would stop hanging out with the player and go on a date with Simon . If Akiza and the player won , Bright would stay out of Akiza ' s business and Simon would leave the two women alone . Simon was interested in the chance to get a date with Akiza and although Bright was not keen on teaming up with Simon , she accepted the offer . Akiza and the player won , so Simon agreed to leave her and Bright alone . Although , he said that Akiza could come around eventually , before he left . Bright pointed out that the deal did not particularly benefit Akiza , although it helped her out a lot , and asked why Akiza made the deal in that case . Akiza replied that she was getting sick of Simon , always giving Bright a hard time and Bright had helped her out a number of times before . Bright explained that she had tried to win and asked what Akiza would have done if she had won . Akiza replied that she would have followed through , but she was certain that she and the player would not lose to a Tag team that was formed on the spot . She realized that she could protect someone with her skill and be protected in return and believed that Tag Dueling was a mandatory subject , so that they could learn that . Bright guessed that she was the one who needed to study more . She agreed that she would stay out of Akiza ' s business , but would still not allow her and the player to get intimate if she saw any signs of it . When Bright left , Akiza apologized to the player for getting him involved in more drama and they returned to their coffee . Akiza visited the player , who was still in bed . She warned him about his unhealthy living habits , saying that Bright would be watching them again , if he dresses sloppy . Akiza wanted to start studying a Deck arranged specifically for Tag Duels . For that , she wanted to have the latest cards and asked the player if he could take her to any good shops . While the two were shopping , they saw Yuma , who was trying to convince Tasha to be more sociable , but Tasha was not interested . Yuma asked Akiza if she could tell Tasha that everyone wanted to be her friend . Tasha announced that she had no desire to make friends . Akiza accepted that decision was Tasha ' s to make and explained that she was once like her ; she used to shun people and thought she could use Dueling as a way to get rid of them , but she later learned that Dueling was a way to deeper her bond with people . She said that she was forever grateful to the person , who thought her that and asked if Tasha was close to anyone like that . Tasha replied " nobody " , but Yuma liked the idea of getting close to people through Dueling and suggested that they all Duel . Tasha agreed to do it once , so she paired up with Yuma , while Akiza went with the player . Yuma thought that she failed , when Akiza and the player won . Yuma and Tasha both admitted to making mistakes that cost them the Duel and Tasha thought that she needed to know more about Yuma ' s strategy . Akiza mentioned the important of trust and not relying solely on oneself in Tag Duels . She said that a solid understanding of a partner ' s feelings will improve results and that goes for more than just Dueling . Tasha and Yuma agreed and Yuma asked if the player was the person who taught her this . Akiza remained silent for a moment and Tasha decided to leave because Yuma was being nosy . Before leaving , Yuma thanked Akiza for her help . Ida marked Akiza as a sworn enemy and called her out for a Duel . Since Yusei was busy , she asked the player if he could come with her . Ida vowed that she would reclaim her Duel Academy Queen of Queens title from Akiza . Akiza responded that the title was all in Ida ' s head and that she had no interest in such a thing . She said that there was no need to fight , as Ida could just take back her title and leave . However Ida refused to leave without a fight ; she claimed her pride was taken from her through a Duel , so that was how she planned on winning it back . She mocked Akiza for bringing a man with her for help , calling her predictable . She asked No Money Yayoi ( Rei ) to help her . Although Yayoi felt that Ida was being annoying , she did not want to let her partner down . Akiza affirmed Yayoi ' s suspicion that she also had someone in her life she could never betray . Akiza and the player then Tag Dueled against Ida and Yayoi . Akiza and the player won the Duel , but Ida swore it was not over . She proclaimed that Akiza is her lifelong rival and that she would beat her next time . When Ida left , Yayoi disclosed that she felt that she crossed paths with Akiza for a reason and asked if she could give Ida attention if she sees her at school . Akiza was surprised , as she thought Ida hated her with a passion , but Yayoi assured her that she was the one Ida admired . Akiza thought that she admired Yayoi and Yayoi admitted that she does look up to her , but she did not want Ida to end up like her ; involved in crime . When Yayoi left , Akiza spoke to the player about how a lot can be learned about people through Dueling and while Yusei was the one who changed her through Dueling , the player was the one who taught her how to enjoy Dueling .
