It first aired in Japan on May 6 , 2009 and in the United States on January 12 , 2010 . Summary . Crow is still investigating the underground tunnel and comes to the conclusion that it used to be the Ener - D reactor ’ s research laboratory . He discovers a photograph of Yusei ' s family . At the Duel , Yusei draws a card ; the Effect Monster , " Zero Gardna " . Goodwin notes that Yusei drew a Monster Card and activate s the effect of " Destiny Activator " , halving Yusei ' s Life Points to 50 . Leo , Luna and Trudge are worried for Yusei . Roman says that Yusei ' s end is coming . Leo is worried sick for Yusei since he only has 50 Life Points left . Yusei says that his Life Points aren ’ t gone yet . The three friends encourage Yusei . Yusei Summons " Zero Gardna " with 0 DEF . After that , he Set s a card and ends his turn . Roman is surprised that Yusei still has the will to fight and his will is just like Dr . Fudo ' s . He can ’ t believe that , after seventeen years , the Signer to fight against him is Dr . Fudo ’ s son and feels a strong sense of fate . Yusei replies that he doesn ' t have any fate with the likes of Roman . The Dark Signer reminds him that his Life Points are almost gone and that his soul will disappear into the light of Ener - D . Roman decides to tell a story about Dr . Fudo to Yusei . He explains that , seventeen years ago , Dr . Fudo discovered the Planetary ( Yusei ) Particle . The twins wonder what Roman is talking about . Roman explains that the Planetary Particle , much like a planetary gear , binds particles together with other particles and that Dr . Fudo gave his son the name of his discovery . He also adds that Dr . Fudo wished that Yusei could be a person to connect people with each other through bonds . The Planetary Particle was a new , essential particle needed to create Ener - D . The doctor created his own theory and launched development on the non - polluting energy mechanism , the Ener - D Reactor . Rex and Roman were researchers but were impressed by the doctor ' s research and they were able to become his assistants . The doctor would talk about the possibilities of his research like a bright - eyed little boy . He believed in the world ’ s future that the Ener - D Reactor could create . The research was still going well at that time . As he tells the story , flashbacks of his life are shown . Dr . Fudo , Rex and Roman were researching until they felt a tremor . Roman saw the computer screen and says that the energy gauge showed abnormal figures , but the equipment seemed to be normal , though . They couldn ’ t understand the problem , but back then , no one could think that the Ener - D Reactor would bring about something unprecedented . Because of the experiments , the city was struck by abnormal weather . Roman is shocked when Dr . Fudo says that the experiments must be stopped . Dr . Fudo says that it ' s out of hand . He doesn ' t know what it ' s due to , but he ' s positive that the abnormalities in the city are connected to the Ener - D Reactor . Rex was about to say that all the research will be lost . Dr . Fudo knows that already , but as long as their safety is being threatened , they can ’ t continue to put the citizens in danger . Roman is a little saddened by that development . Roman investigated every piece of data in the world and he found a location where disasters were occurring at the same time as the experiments , which was the Nazca Lines . He arrived in South America to investigate the Nazca Lines , having heard about the legend that there was a battle of the Gods 5000 years ago there . At the Nazca geoglyphs , he heard that evil beings were sealed inside and that they were locked in battle with the Crimson Dragon for supremacy of the world . During his investigation , he met a mysterious man who claimed to be from Iliaster . The man tells Roman it ’ s a shame that the research on Ener - D would be halted . Roman wonders how the man knew about that , but the stranger simply replies asking whether Roman wishes to continue the research . He also adds that the research must continue , even if he has to get rid of Dr . Fudo . Roman asks him what he is talking about . The stranger replies that in the light of Ener - D , there are possibilities that even Roman can ’ t imagine and that the people of Iliaster believe that Roman is a true genius that should be in the first page of the history books . He also adds that Roman had already been chosen . Roman wonders what the stranger means by that . The stranger replies by pointing at the birthmark on Roman ’ s left arm . He looks at his birthmark on his left arm and says that ’ s a birthmark he has ever since he was born . The stranger says that fate has already chosen Roman and that he can ’ t run away from that . Yusei is surprised that Roman revealed himself to be the fifth Signer . Roman asks the stranger if the 5000 year old battle between the Gods actually existed and if it ' s going to happen again . The stranger simply replies that is something he should see with his very own eyes with the will of the light of Ener - D . After that , he laughs and disappears in a sandstorm . He returned in New Domino City and goes into the laboratory to see the Ener - D Reactor to search for truth in the stranger ’ s claims . Suddenly , dark purple lights strike Roman ’ s eyes and Roman sees visions about the Earthbound Immortal s , the Crimson Dragon and their battle . The Ener - D Reactor was a device to resurrect the 5000 years old battle between the Gods . Crow continues his investigation of the old laboratory and find Rex in a research room , instantly recognizing him . He asks Rex why he is here . He replies that he came here to say goodbye to his big brother and he looks at the picture of him , Roman and Dr . Fudo . He says that his brother was considered a genius at a young age and he was proud of him . However , he took an unbelievable fate upon his shoulders . While Rex is telling the story , flashbacks are shown . Dr . Fudo says that he ’ s going to stop the Ener - D research , no matter what the agents say to him . One of the agents tells Dr . Fudo that he no longer has the authority to do that and has been relieved of his duties as a member of R . R . D . a while ago . Dr . Fudo cannot believe what he just heard . Another agent tells the doctor that they invested a lot in the development of Ener - D and that the successor has already been decided . The successor was revealed to be Roman . Dr . Fudo asks Roman what is the meaning of this . Roman replies that Dr . Fudo doesn ’ t have the courage to see the truth and tells Dr . Fudo that he shall fill that role himself . Dr . Fudo says that he already built control units for the Ener - D Reactor . When he says as long as Roman can ’ t release the seals , Roman shows him the four cards : " Stardust Dragon " , " Red Dragon Archfiend " , " Black Rose Dragon " and " Ancient Fairy Dragon " , which revealed to be the seals . Dr . Fudo takes the cards and the agents shoot at him with their ray guns . In his getaway , he drops one card , " Ancient Fairy Dragon " . Rex finds Dr . Fudo badly wounded and tells him to hold on . Dr Fudo tells Rex to stop the Ener - D Reactor and gives him the three cards . Rex searches for his brother in the laboratory . He finally finds his brother who just cut his left arm and put it in a container . Roman gives the container to his brother , saying that someday , the Signers will appear and no matter how many years it may take , Rex must gather them together and defeat Roman . Rex wonders what his brother is talking about , but Roman tells his brother to do what he says . He also adds that there are two Gods within his body , but he chose the path of darkness and tells his brother to take his left arm and get away from the laboratory , while a small amount of Roman ’ s self remains . He holds his brother at gun point , forcing Rex to do what he says . He goes into the Ener - D Reactor Control Room and hits the self destruct button which causes the Zero Reverse , saying that this way , he ’ ll be reborn as a Dark Signer . Before the explosion could kill him , Dr . Fudo put his son Yusei in a capsule escaping hatch , saving him from the explosion . The Zero Reverse has split the city into two . Roman explains that back then , the Doors of the Netherworld began to open through the events of 5000 years ago . Crow concludes that , because of the accident , his parents , Yusei ’ s parents and Jack ’ s parents all died and the city was divided . Even the legendary man couldn ’ t stop the city from dividing into two . Rex asks Crow if he knows the identity of the man who flew from Daedalus Bridge . Crow replies no , but couldn ’ t forget about his wish to make Satellite and New Domino City into one someday . Rex says that Crow has the same aspirations as Yusei and asks the young man to send a message for him : That if he defeated his brother , he ’ ll be waiting for him . After that , he goes into an elevator . Crow tries to stop him , wondering what he was talking about . Yusei accuses Roman of trying to act like a God and asks how many lives does he have to take until he ’ s satisfied . Roman tells Yusei that his fate was already in the hands of the Gods when he realized it and that he chose the darkness within his heart himself . He also adds that the world will be reborn soon . It ’ s Roman ’ s turn and he draws a card . He sends " Earthbound Immortal Uru " to attack Yusei directly . Yusei activates the effect of " Zero Gardna " , Tributing it to reduce the Battle Damage to zero . Roman is impressed that Yusei managed to seal off his attack . He Sets a card and ends his turn . Leo says that if Yusei takes another attack , he ’ ll lose the Duel . Trudge tells Leo to believe in Yusei . It ’ s Yusei ’ s turn and he draws a card . He Sets two cards , wonders what will Roman do next and ends his turn . Trudge thinks that Yusei is depending on that trap . It ’ s Roman ’ s turn and he draws a card . The card he draws is the Spell Card , " Earthbound Whirlwind " . He activates it , letting him destroy all Spell and Trap Card s on the field since he controls an " Earthbound Immortal " . Trudge says that if Yusei ’ s two face - down cards are destroyed , he ' ll be completely exposed . This is what Yusei has been waiting for . He activates the Trap Card , " Starlight Road " , negating an effect that destroys two or more cards . " Earthbound Whirlwind " is destroyed . Also , it allows Yusei to Special Summon " Stardust Dragon " , which appears with 2500 ATK . Leo is happy that Yusei stopped the opponent ’ s move and Summoned " Stardust Dragon " . Roman says that despite the white dragon ’ s arrival , it ’ s too late . Yusei replies it ’ s never too late , which confuses Roman . Yusei activates the Trap Card , " Shooting Star " , allowing him to destroy one card when he has a " Stardust Dragon " on his field . The card he chose to destroy is the Field Spell Card , " Spider Web " . Roman says that it ’ s too late and activates the Trap Card , " Anti Emptiness " , thus making the ATK " Uru " zero for the turn to negate the activation of a Spell or Trap . Roman ends his turn and the ATK of " Uru " goes back to 3000 . It ’ s Yusei ’ s turn and he draws a card . He activates the Spell Card , " Battle Waltz " , Summoning a " Waltz Token " that copies a Synchro Monster except for its effect . A " Waltz Token " appears with the same ATK as " Stardust Dragon " . Roman reminds Yusei that " Earthbound Immortals " can ’ t be chosen as an attack target . But Yusei tells Roman that he ’ s the target he ’ s aiming at . He sends his " Waltz Token " to attack Roman directly , but Roman activates " Roar of the Earthbound " . When a monster with lower ATK than Uru attacks , it destroys the attacking monster and deals half the monster ’ s ATK as damage to the opposing player . Yusei activates the effect of " Stardust Dragon " , Tributing it and negating a card destroying effect . " Roar of the Earthbound " is destroyed and " Waltz Token " goes straight to Roman . Luna thinks that Yusei will win . But Roman activates the Trap Card , " Brilliant Shrine Art " , redirecting the attack to " Uru " . Roman tells Yusei that ’ s the end , but he must not feel bad , because they have inscribed a glorious page in this world ' s history . Roman thought he had won the Duel , but notices that Yusei ’ s Life Points haven ’ t dropped . Yusei tells him that when a " Waltz Token " is destroyed , both players take 0 Battle Damage . He also activates the token ' s effect . A monster that destroys the token loses ATK equal to the token ’ s ATK . Uru ’ s ATK goes to 500 . Yusei tells Roman that he doesn ' t care about fate and that because of it , there have been so many victims . He also adds that Roman has forgotten what the people who survived are going through and that if his father hadn ’ t conducted his experiments , the incident seventeen years ago would never have occurred . Yusei reminds Roman that the experiment took the lives of both Crow and Jack ’ s parents - that it ruined everyone ’ s lives . If it had never happened , everyone would have had loving parents and happy lives . He asks with tears why they look at him as a friend , why they don ’ t bear any bad feelings and support him - what is he supposed to do ? How is he supposed to tell them that he ’ s sorry ? Trudge , Leo and Luna are overwhelmed by Yusei ’ s words . Yusei dares Roman to give him an answer . Roman wonders if that is the darkness within Yusei ' s heart . Yusei then hears Crow ’ s voice , saying he ’ ll give him his answer . He sees Crow below him . Crow apologizes to Yusei , saying that despite being his friend , he has never noticed the feelings Yusei has been shouldering . Crow then tells Yusei that he has never thought that his life was ruined because of Yusei or his father , which is why Yusei doesn ’ t have to feel responsible for the incident . Crow adds that if he has a fate , it was only having met Yusei , Jack and many other friends . He encourages Yusei to win the Duel for their sake too . Yusei is touched by Crow ’ s word and decides to continue the duel . He tells Roman that the one illuminating his heart isn ’ t the Ener - D ' s light , but his irreplaceable friends and that this duel is his final hope . He activates the Trap Card , " Stardust Flash " . During the turn " Stardust Dragon " Tributed itself , it Special Summons a " Stardust Dragon " from his Graveyard . Roman is shocked by the return of the white dragon . Yusei sends " Stardust Dragon " to attack and destroy Uru . Roman loses the rest of his Life Points and Yusei wins the Duel . Despite his defeat , Roman laughs , which surprises Yusei . Roman tells Yusei that this isn ’ t the end and that an ultimate god has already been unleashed . While explaining this , he turns slowly into dust . He also adds that if all four units are not controlled before sunset , the King of the Netherworld will be revived . He removes the Duel Disk from his wrist . Yusei is shocked by Roman ’ s revelation . Roman tells Yusei he won ’ t allow him to leave this place and pulls a switch on his mechanical left arm , which allows him to pull it off . It causes the bridge to explode and Yusei falls from the bridge into the Ener - D ' s light ( In the dub , the destruction of " Earthbound Immortal Uru " causes the bridge to explode ) . Crow , Leo , Luna and Trudge can ’ t do anything but watch their friend plummet . Outside Satellite , Rex returns to his mansion , goes into the temple and looks at the container that contains Roman ' s left arm with the head of the Crimson Dragon on it .
