Nervin , Tank , Blitz , Rally and Blister cross an insecure rope bridge on their way to Crow ' s hideout . Nervin is concerned , since they ' re about to enter a territory where everyone is marked . Tank notes that it ' s such a lawless sector , not even Security would dare mess with it . Rally shows Blister the Daedalus Bridge in the distance . The gang cross the bridge into the B . A . D . area . They reach the rendezvous point , where Yusei and Crow were supposed to meet them . The area seems deserted and Tank begins to worry Yusei and Crow might have been captured by Security . Shortly after Nerve scolds him for being pessimistic , the sound of Duel Runner s is heard coming from around the corner . Rally starts to wave as he spots Yusei . At that instance , a bunch of children appear at various windows and doors surrounding the point . They all rush down to meet Crow and ask for presents . Crow tells them off for always demanding presents when they see him , plus he brought them presents earlier . To make up for the lack of presents , he shows them that he brought someone else instead . The new King and hero of Satellite , Yusei Fudo . The kids all group around Yusei asking for an autograph . Rally is disgusted at the kids ' nerve for hiding like that . Tank on the other hand wonders if they should ask for Yusei ' s autograph too . He could fetch a high price down the road . Rally kicks him in the buttocks for thinking that . The legend . After night falls , Crow sits a fire with Yusei , Blister , Rally , Nervin , Blitz and Tank . Yusei tells them about when he saw into a future , where Satellite was getting destroyed and what Goodwin told him about the Dark Signers . Nervin questions whether they should believe Goodwin or not . Yusei is unsure if Goodwin told him the truth or not , but is sure his birthmark and " Stardust Dragon " think the Dark Signers are their enemies . If Satellite does become the battlefield for the Signer and Dark Signers , Crow vows to protect Yusei . Kokoro rushes over and interrupts the meeting , asking Crow if she can hear the story again . Crow begins to tell her the story . There was once an extremely poor small island . The people of the island weren ' t allowed to leave the island , but could only look out at a bigger richer island neighboring them . Another boy who was listening states how the two islands are obviously Satellite and New Domino City . Crow continues the story . Before any of the children were born there was a man who tries to save Satellite . He used to gaze at the city from their current location . He had arrived there on a Duel Runner that nobody had ever seen before . One day he stopped staring from that spot , as he realized what he had to do . The man took on the task of building a bridge to the city , the Daedalus Bridge . Two boys listening say that it was pointless as the bridge is no more complete today than it was back then and the task was impossible anyway . That ' s what everyone thought at first , Crow tells them , they had all thought he was a crazy fool , but the man never gave up . The people who mocked him , later began to think he might be able to do it after seeing the progress he was making . The people began to help the man make the bridge . But some people frowned at the idea and forced construction to halt . The man who began the construction became wanted by Security . The helpers gave up , figuring it would be hopeless once the man was captured . Rally gets caught up in the story , and blurts out how Security should pay . The children tell him that ' s he in their way , blocking their view of Crow . Rally tells them to shut up and commands Crow to continue with what happened to the man . Crow continues the story . The man was cornered by Security and had two options , be caught and spend the rest of his life in jail or become a legend while alive . The man took the second option and rode his Duel Runner along the bridge and flew off the end . From that day on , the Runner symbolized freedom and the man became a legend . Rally asks if the man survived . Crow tells him that no one knows what happened to him afterwards , but he stands up and puts his hand on his heart . Together with the children he says " In here he lives on ! " Tank remembers hearing the story when he was a kid . As did Blitz , although he had forgotten it since . Rally looks at the Blackbird , noting that Crow must have added the wings in respect to the legend . Crow sends the children away to bed . Saiga reflects on the story and considers that Yusei ' s birthmark is carrying the wishes of the man from the legend . All eyes fall on Yusei , but Yusei says that he ' s not cut out for that and suggests they all get some sleep too . A spider on a nearby wall climbs away as the group part to sleep . Newsflash . The Domino City news gives a report on how a portion of the Nazca Lines disappeared right before a tourist ' s eyes . They cut to footage on the scene , where witnesses gave an account of what they saw . The footage shows a hippie and his his partner , with a large afro , standing in front of a group of reporters . The husband tells the press that he and his wife were looking at the Spider - shaped lines from the airplane . Back then some purple light rose from the lines before they disappeared without a trace . The report cuts back to the newsroom , where the readers says the monkey , giant and hummingbird lines are confirmed to have disappeared . They also have reports of some of the others disappearing . The reason behind the lines disappearance , she says , still remains a mystery . Goodwin watches the news story and sees that the Dark Signers have made their move . Jack and Carly also saw the report . Carly notices that the lines shown to disappear match the shape of Trudge ' s dark mark , that he had during his Duel with Jack . Satellite Ener - D Reactor . A spider swings along its web lines into the Original Ener - D Reactor in Satellite , where it lands on Roman ' s hand . Roman tells the other Dark Signers that the first of the Signers has returned to Satellite , Yusei Fudo . The time is now right , he says , this is the five thousand prelude to wipe away their disgrace and they should make Yusei be the first offering to it . Kalin stands up , saying that Yusei is his prey . Yusei and Crow leave . While everyone sleeps , Yusei gets up and begins to wheel his Duel Runner away . Crow catches him and asks how he could leave without saying anything , after all they ' ve been through . Yusei replies that this is his battle and has nothing to do with the rest of them . Crow sighs , seeing that Yusei is the same as ever . He continues to wheel the runner away , telling Crow he doesn ' t want to drag any of them into this . Crow refuses to let him leave alone and stands in his way , asking if Yusei is saying he won ' t be of any help . Yusei responds by stating that Crow doesn ' t understand , a fight with a Dark Signer means risking your life . There ' s a big difference between this and Turbo Duel s for thrills , a Duel with them is a fight for your soul and the result is possibly death . Since Yusei is answering in a tone that serious , Crow sees that it must be the truth , but he promised to protect the children with his life . With Crow ' s intentions the same as his , Yusei tells Crow to prepare for the worst and follow him . After they take off on their Duel Runners , Yusei explains that they must go to the Original Ener - D Reactor , which Crow identifies as being in the deepest part of B . A . D . Back at Crow ' s hideout , the gang have noticed that he and Crow have left with their Duel Runners . Blitz , Tank , Nervin and Rally split up to search , while Blister waits with the children in case the two come back . One of the children asks Blister why Crow left . Blister pats her on the head and says not to worry , he ' ll be back . Yusei and Crow enter a foggy area , where Kalin watches them in secret . The two boys approach a large purple glowing body , which causes Yusei ' s birthmark to glow . Kalin smiles as he announces that the battle of the Signers and Dark Signers has now begun . Meanwhile in other locations , Jack , Luna and Akiza ' s birthmarks all start to glow . Helicopter . Mina phones Carly ' s apartment , asking for Jack . Jack takes the phone from Carly . Mina gives him word from Goodwin that she is to collect him and take him to Yusei . She arrives outside the apartment in a helicopter to collect him . Inside the helicopter , Carly asks to be filled in on what ' s going on . Jack tells her that Yusei is going to fight the Dark Signers . After Carly asks what connection he has with Yusei , Jack grunts and says that it ' s nothing that concerns her . Mina gets annoyed and asks why Carly is riding along with them . Carly argues back that the same could be said for Mina , she interrupts her in the middle of the night , disturbing her sleep . The least she could do is tag along . " No unauthorized personnel " , Mina responds , before losing it and asking what are Carly and Jack anyway . Carly begins to drift away and says that she lives with him . Vexed , Mina just asks Carly to stop talking , but Carly insists that she listen . Mina looks past Carly and apologizes to Jack for disturbing him so late at night , referring to him as " King " . Jack yells back that he isn ' t King anymore . Mina quickly apologizes , while a smile widens on Carly ' s face . Carly then figures she has found the way to handle Jack . She lies back in her seat , and says " speaking of which , this Yusei person isn ' t cut out to be King " . She says that it ' s strange that an unheard of Turbo Duelist , just shows up and became King and he has a marker on him . Jack gets mad and yells back that she doesn ' t know what kind of person Yusei is . Carly hides her face as she smiles , seeing that she has turned him . Jack tells her that Yusei wasn ' t originally born in Satellite , he was born in the city , in Tops . Jack explains that Yusei ' s parents were researchers in Kaiba Corporation ' s Ener - D development section and were the people who built the foundation for the current Ener - D technology . Carly is excited that she has uncovered such news , but acts cool and asks if he did something bad , since he was eventually sent to Satellite . Jack answers by asking if she ' s heard of Zero Reverse . Mina gets concerned over Jack talking about this , but Carly and Jack continue to talk about how the Zero Reverse caused tectonic activity that split Satellite and the city . Mina tells Carly that the Zero Reverse wasn ' t a natural disaster , it was an accident . The last Ener - D Reactor went out of control causing the accident . Yusei ' s parents , the lead developers were killed in the accident . Carly is surprised that the whole world was lied to , but Mina explains that Ener - D Development Department , took steps to hide the truth of a power that was beyond human scope to begin with . With his parents killed , the newborn Yusei was sent to an orphanage in Satellite , Jack informs Carly . Delighted , Carly says that if this is true , she has a huge scoop . Jack just grunts and says to write about it if she likes , he doesn ' t know if society will believe it . Mina adds that the development department have manipulated the information on this matter , not only will no one confront them , but at the very best they would be sent to Satellite . Carly forces a laugh , saying that she gets it and breaths a sigh of relief , thinking her life almost ended just there . Confrontation with Kalin . The glowing body in front of Yusei and Crow dissolves . As Crow wonders what it was Yusei warns him to be careful as there is a Dark Signer nearby . A card cuts through the air , just missing Crow . Both riders pull over . Yusei spots the card , " Vorse Raider " lunged into a nearby rock . Kalin appears behind them , he calls Yusei and notes how he ' s brought Crow with him , the says they don ' t know how long he ' s been waiting for this moment . Yusei asks how he knows their names . " Forgotten about me , have you ? " , Kalin smiles and pulls off his hood . Both of them are shocked and recognize him , with Crow questioning that he is still alive . Thanks to Yusei , Kalin has seen hell , he says and claims that he get his revenge till they can ' t stand it anymore . Crow yells back that he doesn ' t know what he means by hell but it has to be a misunderstanding . Yusei asks if hes a Dark Signer , and if he plans to destroy Satellite . Kalin tells him to find out just how different he is compared to the person he used to know . Kalin pulls on his helmet and starts up his Duel Runner , ripping up the large rock it stands on , before racing past Yusei and Crow , leaving a large purple stream of light . The light draws out a Turbo Duel circuit , shaped like his dark mark . Kalin vows to settle the scores with Yusei right here announces that this track will be where a Signer and a Dark Signer will battle . Mina ' s helicopter appears nearby spotting the circuit .
