Police forces in front of the museum are lighting up the roof with a huge spotlight , to illuminate the culprit , who gets surrounded by half a dozen of officers with laser swords . The culprit pulls a Duel Monsters card out of his sleeve , holds it up high , and a sudden blast of thunder appears . Kari Tsukumo , at her home computer monitor , sees something is happening at the museum . She hacks , and sees a picture of the culprit . Her D - Gazer ' s phone function goes off , and the man calling , who ' s the culprit , is identified by Kari as Charlie McCay , who makes her blush . She continues to chat , until she gets all fired up at Charlie , and has a flashback , in which she remembers Charlie kissing her ( this scene is cut from the dub ) . Yuma Tsukumo , followed by Tori Meadows and Astral , is all fired up for another round of Dueling in the WDC . Kari calls him , ordering him to find Charlie through her usual manner of " asking " Yuma things . They hear shouting from a little square , and head off to it . Over there , Reginald Kastle finishes a Duel using his " Submersible Carrier Aero Shark " . Yuma goes of to congratulate Shark and says he ' s happy that Shark is participating after all . Shark tells him he ' s doing to get revenge on Quattro for what he did during the Nationals , and before Yuma can ask any further , Shark leaves . In an alleyway , Kite Tenjo ' s " Galaxy - Eyes Photon Dragon " unleashes a final Photon Stream of Destruction on 2 opponents . Kite uses Photon Hand from both of his arms to take both of their souls and he extracts a " Number " card from each one . Yuma and Tori are walking through a crowd of people . Yuma thinks about what Shark said before , and Tori spots Charlie McCay , who Kari ordered them to find . Yuma introduces himself rather boldly to Charlie , who ' s rather surprised to hear Yuma ' s last name of Tsukumo . Charlie hears Yuma out and gets to hear Kari ordered them to look for him . He pulls out a card out of his coat , and a big muscular Duelist seeing this asks him if he ' s a Duelist , challenging him . Yuma is surprised , asking Charlie if he ' s in the WDC , who confirms it . At Heartland Tower , Mr . Heartland reports Kite ' s progress in the Numbers Hunting to Dr . Faker , and tells him about the amount of Numbers located , after which Faker recites his plan . At Charlie ' s Duel , Charlie is a huge pinch . He has no monsters , and only two Set cards , while his opponent controls three Xyz Monster s , and he has only 100 LP left compared to his opponent ' s full 4000 . Yuma tells him this , but Charlie seems calm , and draws his card , which is " Reload " , so he returns his whole hand to his Deck and then draws the same amount of cards as returned . He uses his spell " Triple Ace " to Special Summon three " Dice Leveler s " ( the dots representing the die numbers are removed in the dub ) . Using their effects , he rolls a dice for each one to increase its Level by the rolled amount . All three rolls yield the result of 6 , which Yuma , Tori , and Astral are amazed by , as this is very improbable . Charlie overlays his three monsters which are now Level 7 , to Xyz Summon his Number , " " ! A roulette machine appears , which is Number 7 ' s sealed form , which turns into its full form . Using his " Dream Dice " , Charlie rolls a dice . As its result is 6 , all of his opponent ' s monsters will have their Attack Points reduced to 0 by the cards effect . Again , Charlie rolls 6 for the fourth time in a row , doing so . He attacks with " Lucky Straight " , and activates its effect , and the dice roll that follows will multiply the ATK of " Lucky Straight " by the amount rolled . It lands on a 6 for the fifth time , and " Lucky Straight " obliterates the opponent ' s LP as a result . Yuma , Tori , and Astral are amazed by Charlie ' s gameplay , and his opponent says he must ' ve cheated as it ' s impossible to roll a 6 so many times . Charlie laughs , and a spotlight drops on him , it being a police helicopter doing so . Police cars suddenly surround the square , and a whole bunch of police officers approach Charlie , who appears to put his hands up high . Charlie pulls out his " Number " card , which releases a sudden gust of wind , whipping open numerous people ' s deck holders and even blowing away 1 of Yuma ' s " Number s " . However , this also causes the Do ! Do ! Donut sign to fall . People flee from the area of impact , but Charlie remains where he is . He ends up being unharmed , as he stood in the exact center of the sign . Charlie thanks Yuma for his " " card ( in the dub , he instead tells Yuma to apologize to Kari for him for leaving her ) , and leaves quickly . Kari comes riding up the the stairs with a motorcycle just after Charlie escaped . Kari explains their father and Charlie ' s history together , and the 2 decide to work together on finding him , promising each other to do ' kattobingu ' . Astral tells Tori and Yuma about something he remembers Charlie saying , and they instantly go to where Astral thinks he is . However , the police already found him , and Charlie finds himself completely surrounded by police forces again . Yuma and friends sneak past security , and head in to the train Charlie is in front of , and while Charlie ' s luck blasts the station with a thunderbolt , activating the train and knocking out the police forces with the impact and the electric charge , Charlie jumps into the train as well . Charlie laughs about escaping with his card , but behind him Yuma reports to his sister where they are , who instantly turns on her motorcycle . Yuma demands his card ( " Number 11 " ) back , but they agree they ' ll Duel for the cards , " Lucky Straight " and " Big Eye " . They head to the top of the train , at which they start their duel . Kari , riding next to the train , wonders what Yuma is up to , and Tori tells him it ' s not a good idea as well . The train takes a sharp turn , and Charlie rehearses his catchphrase again , " Life is Carnival " . Featured Duels . Reginald " Shark " Kastle vs . WDC Duelist .
