Daedalus Bridge Daedalus Bridge is a bridge connecting Satellite to New Domino City . Construction of the bridge had been halted by Sector Security for a while . The incomplete bridge still existed as a monument associated with a legend to residents of Satellite . With the defeat of the Dark Signers , the bridge was finished as there was no longer any need to separate the two cities . Daedalus Bridge itself is one of the ruined structures which composes the Divine Temple . History . Early construction . The people of Satellite lived in poverty and worked for the richer New Domino City . The Satellite residents were not allowed to cross into the city . Rex Goodwin came to a coastal part of Satellite , where the bridge currently stands , on a Duel Runner . Nobody living there knew who he was . Every day Rex used to stare across the waters dividing Satellite and New Domino . One day he stopped staring , as he realized what he must do and began building a bridge to the city . People thought he was crazy at first , but after seeing his progress and determination , they began to help him as they hoped for a better future in the city . Some people frowned at the idea and forced construction to halt . Goodwin became wanted by Sector Security . The helpers gave up , figuring it would be hopeless once the man was captured . Eventually Goodwin was cornered by Security . Rather than be caught and spend the rest of his life in jail , he rode his Duel Runner along the bridge and flew off to the other side of the sea . Those involved never knew what happened to the man after he took off the bridge . They didn ' t even know if he survived or not , but he became a legend and the Duel Runner became a symbol for freedom amongst the residents of Satellite . Completion . Before the final battle between the Signers and the Dark Signers takes place , Yusei requests Rex Goodwin to promise to finish the bridge once the Dark Signers are defeated , as there would no longer be any need to separate the two cities . Rex Goodwin dies as one of the Dark Signers , but the bridge is finished regardless sometime after his death . The completed version consisted of a much more modern bridge , connecting the two cities . The old incomplete was leftinside where the bridge splits in two as a monument . A highway which connects all of New Domino itself was also built . Even with very short notice , Turbo Duelists can request to use parts of the bridge for Turbo Duels . After gaining permission , Sector Security closes off some of the roads and sets up a Turbo Duel circuit . When the Divine Temple appeared over the city , Team Ragnarok planned to build a route towards the Temple using the Daedalus Bridge as a starting point so Team 5D ' s could reach it . While waiting for the route to appear Yusei reflected about how Goodwin jumped off the bridge and how he was about to do the same . Influence . The bridge is named after from Greek mythology , who was able to fly using artifical wings , similar to how Rex Goodwin flew using his Duel Runner . The story became a legend often told to younger children in Satellite . The man who began the construction of the bridge is regarded as a hero and his Duel Runner symbolizes freedom . Crow has told the story many times to children living in the area near the bridge and has even added wings to his Duel Runner , Blackbird , inspired by the story . Yusei Fudo ' s friends have compared him to the man from the story . Blister has even considered that Yusei ' s Mark of the Dragon carries the wishes of the man . Now that Crow has Yusei ' s Tail mark it could be considered that what Blister said was true . Due to the completion of the bridge , all barriers that once existed between Satellite and New Domino City have disappeared .
