Satellite Satellite known as Old Satellite District ( 旧サテライト地区 " Kyū Sateraito Chiku " ) in the Japanese version , is the name of a city in " Yu - Gi - Oh ! 5D ' s " . Yusei Fudo and his friends reside here . It is located on an island not far from New Domino . The name may come from it being a ' satellite ' of the larger and wealthier New Domino City . Once the original Domino City from " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " and " Yu - Gi - Oh ! GX " , the city suffers from extensive urban decay , and it is mostly used as a plant to recycle the garbage from New Domino City . Residents of Satellite are made to work in the plant , and are often looked down upon by many residents of New Domino City , generally referred as " scum " or " trash " . Satellite residents do not have the purchasing power to acquire goods required for dueling on the market ( or whatever economy is used in Satellite ) . There is no legal class mobility in Satellite . The cities of Satellite and New Domino are connected only by a single pipeline used for transferring garbage from New Domino to Satellite . This is virtually the only way of leaving Satellite , with a specialist branch of Sector Security preventing the residents of Satellite from escaping to New Domino City . The first Ener - D Reactor was located in Satellite . Because of this , the city is the home of the door to the Netherworld , guarded by the Dark Signers . According to Rex Goodwin the scant connection between opulent Domino City and destitute Satellite is because of the threat of the Dark Signers and the door to the Underworld . Goodwin also reveals to Yusei , after the catastrophic Zero Reverse incident , a part of New Domino City broke off , thus creating the Satellite . Before the final battle between the Signers and the Dark Signers commences , Yusei requests that Goodwin finally connects the two cities via the legendary Daedalus Bridge after the Dark Signers are defeated . Goodwin accepts the proposal , as there would be no reason to continue the partition after the defeat of the Dark Signers . Even though Goodwin dies as one of the Dark Signers after being defeated by Yusei in a final duel , a new and enormous bridge is constructed where the old Daedalus Bridge had been , finally connecting New Domino City and Satellite . The reconnection between the two has also brought some distinguishable change to Satellite . Since then , its people work hard to change its misery and poor aspect . The results have been shown as Satellite ' s atmosphere have been completely changed as well as its own outlook . The sky is clearly free from smoke coming from the factories and all buildings have been rebuilt and new ones have been made as well . The Satellite served as a battle field during Yusei ' s duel against Aporia when he changed direction of the duel to prevent further harm in New Domino City . When the Divine Temple appears after Aporia ' s defeat , it is revealed that it is the ruins of the Satellite from the future . Non - canon appearances . In " " , the Satellite is divided into two areas , the Satellite Slum area and the Satellite Residential area . The Port and several factories are located in the Slum area . The hideouts and the entrance to the Pipeline are located in the Residential area . In " " , the Satellite is also divided into two areas , the Satellite Slum and the B . A . D . area , where The Enforcers ' hideout , the Daedalus Bridge , the Sector Security building and the Enerdy System Towers are located .
