Sect ' s spirits rise and he announces that he ' ll get back at Yusei . He gets up on top of a tank and holds two cards up to the sunset . He clasps them together and prays that he ' ll be given rare cards to beat Yusei . Puzzled , Yusei asks somebody nearby what Sect is doing . The man is surprised that Yusei doesn ' t know of the urban legend ; when a duelist clasps their cards together at sunset , the Skeleton Knight appears to give them rare cards . Yusei smiles and looks up at Sect . Suddenly the earth starts to shake . People suspect that the factory may be in use , but this can ' t be as it ' s been closed . Yusei notices something happening to Sect and dashes over to check it out . Sect is pulled on top of a pyramid - shaped structure , which Yusei is certain was not there before . Everyone else starts to run away . The platform at the top of the structure resembles an altar as fire shoots from the four vertical pipes in the corners . The Skeleton Knight from the legend appears on the altar , mounted on a skeleton horse and holding Sect at the end of his lance .
