In New Domino City , the MC announces that it ' s been a year since the first D1 Grand Prix was cancelled after an unexpected accident , but now they ' re coming up on the end of the second D1 Grand Prix . The throne of the King of Turbo Duel s is empty , and they ' re just about to fill it . The D1 Grand Prix champion , Yusei Fudo , and the King , Jack Atlas , sit astride their Duel Runner s , wearing Turbo Suits . The quarter - finals board shows the semi - finalist rankings ; Yusei and Akiza Izinski Dueled in the finals after defeating Kalin Kessler and Crow Hogan respectively . The MC wonders which of these Duelists will dominate the Emperor Finals and win the Emperor ' s crown . Crow is grousing over the fact that he isn ' t up there , while Yoshi Hogan reassures him that it ' ll be him next time . Leo sweatdrops , wondering if Yusei will be okay . Luna , now lacking her " Kuribon " doll , wonders why " Leo " is getting nervous . Greiger , Bolt Tanner , Hunter Pace , and Tetsu all stand on the sidelines , while Kalin stands alone , whispering Jack ' s name . Akiza stands with Sherry LeBlanc and Sect Ijuin as she whisper ' s Yusei ' s name , and Sect tells Yusei to go for it . Mina Simington watches alone from the upper levels , noting that Master Atlas is wearing a Turbo Suit , and she notes his unusual determination , wondering if Yusei Fudo is really that formidable an opponent . Jack smiles , commenting that he thought that Yusei would make it here . Yusei agrees that he came to get revenge for last year . Jack muses that he doesn ' t hate the cheers of the crowd , and allows Yusei the right to enjoy this one moment on equal terms with him . Turbo Duelists don ' t need words . Yusei agrees that they let their speed do the talking , and let their Sense carry their feelings . The lights begin counting down , and Yusei and Jack rev their Runners ' engines , before setting of with a cry of " DUEL ! " at the green . Yusei takes the lead as the MC announces that the Emperor Finals are underway , and he wonders who will get the first attack . Jack snorts , commenting that he ' s got his skills and his fully tuned Phoenix Whirlwind ; Yusei shouldn ' t think that he can ride it in front of the King . He accelerates past Yusei , much to Yusei ' s frustration , as the MC announces that the first attack goes to the King , Jack Atlas . Jack declares his turn and draws , then he Set s three cards and Summons the Tuner monster " Dust Lord Ash Gash " in Defense Position , before ending his turn . The uncharacteristic show of defense shocks Greiger and Bot , and Akiza notes that Jack is being cautious around Yusei , while Kalin whispers Jack ' s name . Yusei declares his turn and he draws , adding the card to his hand , which contains " Junk Changer " , " Scrap - Iron Welding " , " Synchro Creed " , " Junk Armor " , " Junk Defender " and " Necroid Synchro " . He realizes what he can do with his hand . Mina watches as the MC wonders what strategy Yusei will show them as the King shores up his defense , while on the sidelines , Sect tells Yusei to go for it . Yusei activates the Spell Card , " Scrap - Iron Welding " , Special Summon ing two " Junk " monsters from his hand . He Special Summons " Junk Armor " and " Junk Defender " , and then he Normal Summon s the Tuner monster " Junk Changer " . Yoshi praises Yusei ' s building , and he comments that he ' s just like Crow . Leo notes that the monsters have a total of 8 Level s , so " Stardust Spark Dragon " will be on its way . But instead , Yusei tunes the Level 3 " Junk Defender " and " Junk Changer " , and Luna is surprised that Yusei is Synchro Summon ing a Level 6 monster rather than " Stardust " . Yusei chants , " Sacred spear that scorches the starry sky ! Unleash your soul and awaken the world ! Stardust Assault Warrior Synchro Summoned ! " Yusei activates the effect of " Stardust Assault Warrior " , Special Summoning a Tuner monster from his Graveyard . He revives " Junk Changer " , and activates its effect since he controls another " Junk " monster , increasing or decreasing its Level by one , and he increases it to 4 . Then he tunes the Level 2 " Junk Armor " and the now - Level 4 " Junk Changer " , and Crow notes that it ' s a serial Synchro . Yusei chants , " Sacred wings that command the meteor shower ! Ride the wind of souls around the world ! Stardust Charge Warrior Synchro Summoned ! " The effect of " Stardust Charge Warrior " allows Yusei to draw a card when it ' s Synchro Summoned , but Yusei isn ' t done yet ; he activates the Spell Card " Necroid Synchro " . This allows him to exclude monsters from his Graveyard as Synchro Material , and Yusei tunes the Level 2 " Junk Armor " and the Level 3 " Junk Defender " with the Level 3 " Junk Changer " . He chants , " Flash of light that splits the sea of stars ! Shake our souls and roar through the world ! Stardust Spark Dragon Synchro Summoned !

Yusei activates another Spell Card , " Synchro Creed , drawing two cards since there are three Synchro Monster s on the field , and he draw " Junkuriboh " and " Accel Synchro " . Hunter and Tetsu watch as the MC recaps Yusei ' s triple Synchro , and Crow notes that Yusei still has three cards in his hand . He comments that Yusei ' s high - speed Synchros have actually got better . Yusei declares his Battle Phase , attacking " Gash " with " Stardust Assault Warrior ' s " " Shooting Driver " attack , and he explains that " Stardust Assault Warrior " inflicts piercing damage . Jack activates a Trap Card , " King ' s Camp " , negating the attack and Special Summoning three Level 4 or lower " King " monsters from his Deck ; Cursed Fire King Doom Burst " , " Wandering King Wild Wind " , and " Red Lotus King , Flame Crime " , all in Attack Position . Yusei instead attacks with " Stardust Charge Warrior " , which can attack all Special Summoned monsters . " Stardust Charge Warrior " levels its wings of cannons , and attacks with " Shooting Crusher " , destroying " Wild Wind " , " Doom Burst " , and " Flame Crime " . Akiza cheers that Yusei wiped out all of the " Kings " that Jack Summoned , and Sect cheers Yusei on . The attack reduces Jack to 3000 LP , but he cancels out the Sense with his Sense Banish and he asks if that ' s all that Yusei ' s got . Yusei replies that it isn ' t , and he attacks " Gash " with " Stardust Spark Dragon " , destroying it with " Shooting Blast " . This time Jack is unable to cancel out the Sense , much to Kalin and Mina ' s shock and Sect ' s jubilation . Yusei holds up " Accel Synchro " , and he declares that he ' ll get his Sense through to Jack with this card . He accelerates past Jack , as his Duel Runner generates wings of light , much to the MC ' s shock , and he activates the Quick - Play Spell Card , " Accel Synchro " , halving the Levels of a Tuner Synchro Monster and Synchro Monsters that he controls to perform a Synchro Summon . He tunes the two " Warrior s " , now Level 3 , with the now Level 4 " Stardust Spark Dragon " . Crow is shocked to learn that " Stardust Spark Dragon " is a Tuner monster , and Yusei chants , " All thoughts spun by the tracks of falling stars ! Join our bonds and fill this world ! Accel Synchro ! Descend ! True Stardust Spark Dragon Chronicle ! " Leo and Luna observes the Level 10 Synchro Monster , and Akiza observes that it has wings of light too , while Sect notes its golden color . Jack comments that it ' s Yusei ' s new ace , and Yusei warns Jack that his Battle Phase hasn ' t ended yet ; telling him to take the full force of his Sense . The 3000 ATK " True Stardust Spark Dragon Chronicle " attacks Jack directly with " Shooting Shine Blast " , and Kalin cries that Jack has no monsters on his field . Crow grins that if the attack gets through , Yusei will win . Sect cheers that it ' s a One Turn Kill for Yusei , and Yusei grits his teeth while Jack smiles as the attack hits , causing a massive explosion . Featured Duel : Yusei Fudo vs . Jack Atlas .
