Angela greets Carly and asks if she ' s heard the tip as well , that people have spotted Jack Atlas here . Angela aims to prove he really is from Satellite ; if he was lying through his teeth , it will prove to be one fine fraud .

Carly sticks up for Jack , saying that he ' s hurting inside after being forced out of his status as King and she wouldn ' t let Angela ask him anything of the sort . Jack appears and secretly watches over the girls argue . Angela asks Carly , what she ' s on about , this is their job as reporters .

With the combined level of " Blackwing Armor Master " and " Turbo Synchron " being 6 , Yusei used both of them to Synchro Summon " Turbo Warrior " . One of the Securities comments that it has only 2500 ATK and with " Gate Defender " , it can ' t attack . But Yusei informs them that " Turbo Warrior " is unaffected by the effects of Level 6 or lower monsters . Crow then plays " Ebon Arrow " , dropping the ATK of " Turbo Warrior " to 2000 in exchange for giving it the Piercing ability and the effect to inflict damage equal to the Original DEF of a monster it destroys by battle . Yusei declares an attack on " Gate Blocker 2 " with " Turbo Warrior " . The Securities laugh , that he ' s going to harm himself , since the DEF of " Gate Blocker 2 " is at 6000 .

Crow then explains that the spike " Blackwing Armor Master " drove into " Gate Blocker 2 " earlier was a Wedge Counter . After removing the Wedge Counter , the DEF of " Gate Blocker 2 " had dropped to 0 . " Turbo Warrior " continues its ATK and inflicts 2000 Piercing damage and the other effect of " Ebon Arrow " inflicts 2000 damage , dropping the Securities ' Life Points to 0 . Crow and Yusei tap their fists together in victory . Going to the city seems to have improved Yusei ' s game , Crow says and then asks what ' s with Jack . He heard that Jack had went into hiding after it was revealed that he was from Satellite . Yusei is shocked with the news . Crow thinks Yusei still has it out for Jack after what happened two years ago . Yusei disagrees , he says that ' s the path Jack chose to take and no one could stop him taking it . Yusei says that he believes in Jack and even if he hits rock bottom , he ' ll climb his way up . The tower . On the balcony at the top of the tower , Jack stands and looks over across the city at the sea . Mina and Trudge peer around a corner at him . Trudge asks if they should speak to him . Mina prepares to walk over to Jack , but is beaten to this by Carly , who appears and runs over to Jack . " You were trying to come here from the start , weren ' t you ? " Carly asks Jack . Jack stares into the distance , noting that you can ' t see Satellite from here . He continues to speak with Carly . Two years ago , he came to New Domino City from Satellite , he abandoned his friends and his hometown ; Back then he gave up everything and what he gained from it was the path to being a King , who continually acts like a clown , as he lies about his true identity . It was the path to becoming a foolish duelist , who has forgotten who he was . Giving up everything has now made him realize , there was something in the depths of his heart holding him up . Carly asks why he doesn ' t just start his life over , the old Jack died in that battle with Yusei , now it ' s time for the real Jack Atlas to live . Plus it would help in becoming a new King . Jack reflects on when he was friends with Yusei , Rally , Blitz , Nervin and Tank . He tells Carly that she ' s right , as he tosses off his hat , removing his disguise . After announcing that he refuses to be led astray anymore , Carly hands him the shopping bag , containing his regular attire . Jack pulls on his white jacket and tells Carly that she can write what she wants about him . Carly then announces that she has also made a decision - she will no longer write an article that would hurt him or any other duelist . Mina and Trudge are surprised that she has managed to get through to Jack . Jack leaves telling Carly to do as she will , leaving Carly to chase after him once more .
