The reporters begin to ask what happened in the Duel and what was the Crimson Dragon . Angela asks if Jack really lost ; some fans aren ' t taking that too well . Goodwin describes the unusual behavior during the Duel as a glitch in the Solid Vision and that a report on all details of the Duel , will be given tomorrow . Angela asks what Goodwin can tell them about Yusei . Goodwin replies that all he knows is that he was born in Satellite . Carly is unable to get noticed due to her position in the crowd , so she drops to the floor and crawls forward keeping in mind her fortune from the card . She pops up in front of Angela , cutting off her question , as she surfaces . Carly mentions to Goodwin how it looked like Yusei ' s arm was glowing after the Crimson Dragon appeared and asks if that was of any significance .

While in her car , which is on auto - pilot , Carly is contacted by her chief , who is not pleased over her failure to interview Yusei . He tells her to get her ass in gear or she ' s fired , but Carly promises she ' ll get a scoop and tells him to keep the front page open . Carly watches over a clip of Yusei , just before the Crimson Dragon appears and spots the birthmark glowing on his arm . She deduces that Goodwin was playing dumb and there is a connection between to the glowing arm and the Crimson Dragon . Her radar then picks up the signal of a Duel Disk . Looking to her left she sees a group of people watching a Duel in a yard . She comments that there are many stars in the streets that don ' t get rewarded ; just like her ; but she won ' t go back on the streets , since she won ' t let this chance slip .

Yanagi explains how the head , wings , claws and tail of the Crimson Dragon , were split up and sealed in the Signers as birthmarks . Bolt points out that they only know of four Signers , Yusei , Luna , Jack and Akiza , yet the Crimson Dragon showed up . Yanagi continues that the fifth Signer must have been nearby . Luna suddenly passes out after Leo checks himself for a birthmark , but finds nothing . Yanagi catches her and the others rush over .

Small spiders descend on silk strings onto a number of the watchers from a large spider web above them . The Duel . At Blister ' s hideout , Yusei ' s arm begins to throb , but unlike before . This time it feels like it ' s gouging into him . He walks over to the window and spots a cloaked man with a glowing purple birthmark , similar to the spider that tore up Satellite . Assuming him to be a Signer , Yusei rushes out to him . The man flees down an alley , leading Yusei to a car park . Yusei asks him what ' s going to happen to Satellite .
