Yusei narrates that by defeating Z - one , they were able to stop the Ark Cradle and New Domino City from colliding and the future is now entrusted into their hands , so from now on New Domino City will go through a new path . At Security headquarters , the sign for the new city hall is being put up while the mayor inauguration takes place . As Mina and Trudge watch from the crowd , Trudge says that he guesses this is goodbye to the bureau . Mina says that such authority is no longer needed , as New Domino is starting anew by following a new path . Elsewhere in the audience , Carly , Angela Raines , the male and female hippies watch the inauguration , with Carly struggling to see with the female hippie ' s afro blocking her view . Lazar appears on the roof of the hall and in monitors above him . He announces that with the removal of the bureau , a new city hall has been established and he is the new mayor , as elected by the people . He receives a round of applause and proceeds to say " I have a dream " , a la by Akiza enters the central building of Domino General Hospital . Inside a ward , Haluna is informed by her doctor that in her current situation , she should be discharged early . Akiza then enters the room and congratulates Haluna on her recovery . Haluna credits it to Akiza cheering her up , but Akiza insists that she should thank the doctor more so than her . Haluna nods and thanks the doctor , who tells Haluna she has done well . At Duel Academy , Akiza ' s classmates ask her what she plans on doing when she graduates . Since Akiza is the number one at their school , she guesses Akiza will be getting into pro - Dueling . Akiza turns her head and admits she doesn ' t know yet . On a highway , Dobocle laughs insanely , and invites Crow to just try and beat him if he thinks he can . Crow gets " Black - Winged Dragon " to use its " Noble Stream " attack on Dobocle , causing him to halt to a stop and smoke to run from his engine . Crow , donning a New Domino police uniform and Duel Runner stops and tells Dobocle that he is obviously breaking the law . However , since today is the celebration of the new mayor ' s inauguration , he lets him off with a warning . Dobocle drives away hurriedly and Crow looks at the inauguration ceremony on his Duel Runner ' s monitor . He thinks it ' s surprising that Lazar has become the mayor , but too surprising compared to himself become a highway patroller . A man whose face is hidden behind his helmet appears on a Duel Runner next to Crow and asks if it is okay for Crow Hogan , a winner of the World Racing Grand Prix , to be hanging around out here . Crow says with exasperation , " You again ! " and the man replies that he will be sticking around with Crow even the ends of Hell . Crow just sighs dejectedly . At a laboratory , Yusei leading a team of operators working on the Planetary Particle . His crew perform a system check and report normal functionality . One of the operators reports that Ener - D and the energy gearing system are functioning properly and asks Yusei to enter the last code . Yusei types " GOOD DAYS " into a computer and the program Fortune starts up . Again no abnormalities are detected . The operators at four stations stand up and jubilantly applaud Yusei on the completion of Fortune . Among them is Zigzix , who pirouettes around ecstatically . Lazar enters the lab and congratulates Yusei , calling him " Dr . Fudo " . Yusei says that he ' s not a doctor , nowhere near that level , just like that . Lazar agrees truthfully , but predicts that Yusei will be in the future and he will be so incredible , he ' ll even surpass his father . With Fortune , Lazar says that New Domino ' s lifeline will be assimilated , leading the city ' s functions in the right direction . They are now linked to cities around the world and as the leader , New Domino will be managing the others . Yusei predicts that the future Z - one mentioned probably won ' t happen now . Lazar says that that ' s all thanks to Yusei , but Yusei insists bashfully that it was because everybody was there to help him and they were an amazing team . Lazar smiles and remarks that Yusei ' s form of speech about teamwork and friendship hasn ' t changed and that ' s just the type of thing he ' d say , as well as reminds him how he once said that there is no human who is unneeded or useless . With the belief , he says that Yusei was able to make New Domino City free from Iliaster ' s curse and with that the city will truly find freedom . Lazar apologizes for disturbing and politely asks Yusei to go through the future he must go through , although in truth he wishes Yusei ' s future path went with New Domino City . Yusei looks mildly surprised , and Lazar apologizes , saying he said too much and excuses himself . After Lazar leaves , Yusei receives a call on one of the computers and a woman informs him that there is a communication from Crow . Yusei thanks her and enters another room , where a video chat with Crow is opened . Crow said with slight irritation that he had some trouble trying to get in contact with him and asks if he was busy . Yusei says that he was , but they managed to finally complete the mainframe . Crow congratulates him , amazed , and Yusei asks how things are on his end . Crow replies that Trudge has them going around in circles and he doesn ' t even have free time to sleep . For someone who is marked being allowed to manage things , Crow feels that city has changed a lot . Yusei corrects him and says that they have changed it and will be making the future from now on . Crow agrees and adds that with the bonds of Team 5D ' s they will be lighting up the future . Yusei looks at Crow , who looked confused and a little wistful , and asks what ' s wrong , but Crow insists that it ' s nothing . Yusei persists on inquiring Crow , determined that Crow called because he had something to tell him . Crow answers that that ' s not really it , it ' s more that he hasn ' t seen him in a long time and wanted to see his face for once . Yusei then suggests that he and Crow meet - up with everyone and have a meal on the weekend . Crow says it sounds great and that he shall tell everyone , but there is one problem . Yusei suspects Jack is the problem and asks if it ' s still impossible to contact him . Crow has no idea what Jack is up to . He decides to send him mail at least and asks if Jack really understands their bonds . At the killer whale Nazca Line , Greiger is on his Duel Runner and his Life Points have just dropped to 0 . His opponent pulls up and is told that his Duel has evolved . On the highway , Sherry ' s Duel Runner also comes to a stop with her Life Points dropping to 0 . She smiles and says that it was as expected ; There were no openings at all and it was a perfect loss . Elsworth pulls up beside her and they watch the silhouette of her opponent leave . In Satisfaction Town , Kalin drops to knees and tells his opponent that he has become strong , but by looking at his face , he can tell that he ' s not satisfied yet . The opponent , Jack , agrees and says that it is not over yet ; There is just one more he must fight against . In Tops , Leo urges Luna who is in the next room to hurry up or they will be late for the meeting time . Luna tells him to hold on ; it ' s been a long time since they met everyone , so she wants to at least look good . Luna comes out of the room , dressed - up a bit . Leo blushes with his mouth open , surprised by how good she looks and says she doesn ' t look too bad . Luna says really , causing him to turn away flustered , stuttering saying " Y - yeah " , and then quickly changes the subject by saying they should hurry . Luna blushes slightly as he turns away . As Leo and Luna leave , they notice they have mail from their parents . They are surprised by what it reads and wonder what they should do . Leo is ashamed in them sending something this important by mail , but remarks that it is the same as usual . At Akiza ' s house , Akiza is on the phone , while writing something . There is a prospectus for Medizinische Hochshule Didn - Keto , which is a misspelling of Medizinische Hochschule Dian - Keto , which is German for Dian - Keto Medical College , on her desk . Akiza says that she can study abroad without even waiting until she graduates . The person at the other end of the phone says something . Akiza asks if they mean right now and looks at the time ; 6 : 07 . She says that she understands and agrees . At the shore , Crow sits on a fence thinking . The " Blackbird " is parked beside him and the man , who has been following him , stands next to him with his arms folded . Yusei , carrying a bag of food , hurries towards the Poppo Time garage , where " Yusei Go " is parked . He proceeds to his bedroom and letter out of his coat pocket . IFS Duel League ( misspelled as " Leag " ) is printed on the envelope and he sets it down on top of more letters . He picks up a picture of Team 5D ' s celebrating a victory and sets it back down next to his computer , before leaving . He returns to the garage and looks at " Yusei Go " , standing by itself . He imagines " Blackbird " , " Phoenix Whirlwind " and " Bloody Kiss " being beside it and then Leo , Luna , Crow , Jack , Akiza and Bruno being present calling his name . The thoughts vanish and Yusei sighs . Akiza , Leo and Luna then open the door and call Yusei . They apologize for being late and Yusei says " long time no see " . Before much time passes , the shutter door opens and Crow appears . He too says that he is late . Leo tells him off and says that everyone was waiting . Crow apologizes , but Leo then admits that it was a joke and Luna tells him they haven ' t started yet . Outside the shutter , Yusei cooks some kebabs on a barbecue . Inside Akiza is helping prepare the kebabs , while the twins are eating them . Outside Crow tells Yusei that he has realized that both their jobs are needed for the people of New Domino City and Duelists . He says the jobs are worth doing " but . . . " . Yusei asks what it is and Akiza turns to listen in . Crow says it ' s nothing and Akiza says " Oh yeah . " Crow asks what Akiza is planning on doing and when she will be graduating . He tells that she ' s excellent and any league would want to take her . Akiza asks why everyone is so . . . and tells Crow off for deciding her future like that . Crow asks why she is so angry , but Akiza insists that she isn ' t and Crow is just going overboard . She accuses him of saying the same thing from the beginning ; " worths " is all that he talks about . Leo breaks the argument by telling everyone that he and Luna got mail from their parents today . They say that their parents want to live together . Crow says that that must be great , because family being together is the right thing . However Luna informs them that their parents want them to leave New Domino City . Leo says that they haven ' t decided yet , but they don ' t know what to do . Because they want to stay with everyone , they don ' t want to leave the city , Luna explains . The food on the barbecue starts to burn , so Yusei returns to it . He assumes that Crow and Akiza are having trouble deciding something . Neither of them are sure what he ' s talking about . Yusei explains that Crow got an invitation from the Pro League oversees and Akiza wants to study abroad in a medical school . They ' re both surprised to hear Yusei say this . Akiza asks Yusei how he knew . He replies that he was contacted by her parents , seeking consultation . Crow asks if Akiza wants to become a doctor . She replies that she hasn ' t fully decided . The five of them look down in sadness . Up at the door , Jack looks down on them . Jack walks over to the table and everyone suddenly notices him . Crow asks Jack where he has been . " Self - training " , Jack replies . Crow is about to get made , but Jack tosses a card , which cuts just in front of Crow ' s face and lodges itself into the ground . To everyone ' s surprise , Jack announces that he has decided to leave New Domino City . He tells them that he has gotten an invitation from the world ' s strongest Duel League , Ride Ace , and is aiming to become the world King . Crow asks what this is about and after all this time does their bonds mean nothing to him . Jack asks if Crow is going to keep talking about bonds all the time . Crow is taken aback and Jack asks if he has ever thought about testing his own strength in the world . Jack turns to Yusei and says that he believes Yusei has gotten an invitation too . Yusei replies that he has . Crow says that he should have figured ; Since he got an invitation himself , any league would want to take in Yusei . Akiza asks Yusei what he ' s going to do . Yusei says that he is still thinking about it and with the mainframe being completed , he doesn ' t know what to do next . Jack says that they have reached the end as a team and it is now time for them to enlighten the world by themselves with their own strength . He announces that he wants to test himself in the world and if there is someone blocking him from doing that , even if it is Team 5D ' s bonds , he will move on , even if it means breaking it . Crow tells Jack that they are all worried because they can ' t do that themselves . Yusei looks - up and tells Jack to Duel him . Akiza , Crow , Leo and Luna are astonished . Jack is interested that Yusei wants to Duel him . Yusei explains that Dueling has always lead them . If they are wandering about , then they must find their answer from Dueling . Jack says that this is just what he wanted ; Before entering the outside world , he must crush Yusei . Outside , Yusei and Jack line - up on their Duel Runners . Crow thinks to himself that Yusei and Jack are fighting . Since they were little , he has seen them many times , but now he can ' t help shaking . Yusei says that the last time he and Jack Dueled was during the Fortune Cup . Jack affirms and comments that they have had many issues afterwards for him to fight many enemies alongside Yusei . Yusei says that he had fun and Jack agrees that he had fun too , but was longing to Duel Yusei again . Yusei admits that somewhere in his heart , he was thinking the same thing . Now there is nothing to bother them from Dueling , Jack says and Yusei agrees . Yusei vows to go all out , as does Jack , who says his soul is obsessed with Dueling . At 5 : 33 AM , they both activate " Speed World 2 " and take off . They race towards the first corner to see who goes first . Yusei manages to get past the corner first and announces that he shall take the first turn . Jack says that he can have it . The two receive authorization for a Turbo Duel and a Duel lane is prepared for them . Yusei Summons " Blue Expense Falcon " . Back at the starting point , Akiza , Crow , Leo and Luna watch the Duel on the monitor of " Blackbird " . They note that Yusei has Summoned a Tuner monster on his first turn and suspect he is going all out from the start . Since " Blue Expense Falcon " was Summoned , Yusei uses its effect to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Dragon - Type monster from his hand , so he Summons " Bright Star Dragon " . Since " Bright Star Dragon " was Summoned , its effect lets him increase the Level of a monster by 2 , so he increases the Level of " Blue Expense Falcon " to 4 . Yusei tunes the Level 4 " Bright Star Dragon " to the Level 4 " Blue Expense Falcon " and chants " " Clustering wishes will become a new shining star . Become the path its light shines upon . Synchro Summon ! Take flight , Stardust Dragon ! " " , as he Synchro Summon s the Level 8 " Stardust Dragon " . He then Set s one card in his Spell & Trap Card Zone and ends his turn . Leo is amazed to see " Stardust Dragon " out at this point . Jack begins his turn and both players ' SPC goes up to 1 . Since his opponent controls a Synchro Monster , Jack is able to Special Summon " Synchron Resonator " from his hand . Jack then Summons " Star Gatherer " , whose Level is equal to 1 less than a Synchro Monster his opponent controls , making it Level 7 . Jack tunes the Level 7 " Star Gather " to the Level 1 " Synchron Resonator " and chants " " The ruler ' s heartbeats will now file through here . Take witness to its creation shaking power . Synchro Summon ! My soul , Red Demon ' s Dragon ! " " , as he Synchro Summons the Level 8 " Red Dragon Archfiend " . Crow notes how Jack took advantage of the Level of " Stardust Dragon " to Summon " Red Dragon Archfiend " and that it is something to see their ace monsters collide so soon . " Red Dragon Archfiend " attack s " Stardust Dragon " with its " Absolute Powerforce " attack . Yusei activate s the Trap Card " Star Excursion " . He explains that when there is a battle between two Synchro Monsters , it removes both of them from play and counting three ends of Battle Phase s starting with the opponent ' s turn they will both return to the field . With " Stardust Dragon " and " Red Dragon Archfiend " both gone , Yusei says that they have gone to their futures . This leaves Jack , Crow , Akiza , Leo and Luna thinking about the future . Yusei says that that is right ; in this Duel they shall find their futures . Yusei draws " Blue Expense Falcon " and subsequently Normal Summons it ( 2 / 800 / 800 ) in Attack Position . Yusei then activate s the effect of " Blue Expense Falcon " to Special Summon " Bright Star Dragon " ( 4 / 1900 / 1000 ) from his hand in Attack Position . Yusei then activates the effect of " Bright Star Dragon " to increase the Level of " Blue Expense Falcon " by 2 ( " Blue Expense Falcon " : 2 → 4 ) . Yusei then tunes " Bright Star Dragon " with " Blue Expense in order to Synchro Summon " Stardust Dragon " ( 8 / 2500 / 2000 ) in Attack Position . Yusei ' s hand contains " Triangle Warrior " , " Speed Spell - Defense Buster " , " Turbo Synchron " , and " Star Excursion " . Yusei then sets a card . Jack ' s hand contains " Star Gatherer " , " Break Tune " , " Influence Dragon " , " Power Supplier " , and " Mirror Resonator " . Jack then draws " Synchron Resonator " . During the Standby Phase , the effect of " Speed World 2 " activates ( Yusei ' s SPC : 0 → 1 ; Jack ' s SPC : 0 → 1 ) . Since Yusei controls a Synchro Monster , Jack Special Summons " Synchron Resonator " ( 1 / 100 / 300 ) in Attack Position . He then Normal Summon s " Star Gatherer " ( 1 / 0 / 0 ) in Attack Position . Featured Duel : Yusei Fudo vs . Jack Atlas . Jack then activates the effect of " Star Gatherer " to make its Level become equal to the Level of " Stardust Dragon " minus 1 ( " Star Gatherer " : 1 → 7 ) . Jack then tunes " Star Gatherer " with " Synchron Resonator " in order to Synchro Summon " Red Dragon Archfiend " ( 8 / 3000 / 2000 ) in Attack Position . " Red Dragon Archfiend " then attacks " Stardust Dragon " , but Yusei activate s his face - down " Star Excursion " to remove both monsters from play until the end of Jack ' s third Battle Phase after the activation of " Star Excursion " .
