In outer space , a giant stone tablet tumbles down towards the Earth in the direction of Japan . An infinity symbol is shown and fades away as a shot of the city appears . In the background construction continues on one of many bridges . Yusei rides his Duel Runner along one of the bridges , narrating that it has been six months since the battle against the Dark Signers and that the city and Satellite are now connected . Lazar ' s investigation . At Sector Security headquarters , Lazar starts to panic that the new Director of the Public Security Bureau has not shown up and the possibility of the Ghost s . After receiving a phone call , his panic starts to amplify . Three white hooded figures arrive at the crater formed by the tablet and gaze up at the stone structure , which remains intact . The trio consists of a old man , a young adult , while the third looks more child - like . Each of them have something covering one of their eyes except for the old man , who has a thing covering his mouth . Sirens are heard , as Lazar and a group of Securities pull up in squad cars . Lazar makes his way over to the trio , demanding to know their identities , but the younger adult member points a sword at him . The child - like one speaks a bit and starts to titter . Lazar realizes who they are and drops to his hands and knees , bowing to them , seeing that they are members of Iliaster ( in the dub , the child informs Lazar that they will all act as the new Directors ) . Mina and Trudge ' s investigation . At night time , a man on a Duel Runner gets chased by a monster , who is barely visible in his visor . Later that night , Security are investigating the incident , where they now have the man in a body bag . Mina and Trudge , who has been promoted to chief , arrive at the scene and show their IDs , granting them entry . They are shown the man ' s now very mangled Duel Runner . Later over at Yusei , Crow and Jack ' s basement , the boys are working on a new Duel Runner engine . Crow , dressed in his Blackbird Delivery outfit , challenges Jack to a race . Jack is mounted on the new Duel Runner , which is fixed in its spot . He says he won ' t lose to Crow and continues to push the speed of the Runner . Yusei warns him to stop before it overloads , but Jack can ' t hear him over the noise and continues to accelerate , resulting in an explosion . Outside , clouds of smoke burst out of the building , startling many people in the area . Inside everyone is okay , but the Runner is now in pieces . As Crow and Jack start to bicker , people gather around an overhead window , starting down at them . An old lady named Zora appears at the entrance to the basement and starts yelling at Jack and Crow for causing such a commotion . After spotting Yusei , she calms down and starts to act more affectionately . Trudge and Mina ' s squad car pulls up outside the residence . They start to talk with Yusei , Jack and Crow .

Trudge tells them about the tournament ' s new rules , which means they ' ll be using " Speed World 2 " instead of the standard " Speed World " . Trudge wants Yusei , Jack , and Crow to help in the capture of the Ghost but Crow refuses and rushes Mina and Trudge out and bolts the door shut behind them , saying the three of them have much to do with getting ready for the tournament .
