Silhouettes of Hunter Pace , Kalin Kessler , Sherry LeBlanc , Carly Carmine , Bolt Tanner , Tetsu Trudge and Greiger are shown as he says this . The D1 Grand Prix is a battle to find the strongest Turbo Duel ist in the world , the Turbo Duel Emperor , Lazar explains . A silhouette of Jack Atlas is shown as he says this . The Emperor shall receive everything , including fame and riches , he informs Yusei . However Yusei replies that he is not interested . Lazar acts surprised . He calls this a commendable feature on Yusei ' s behalf and in that case , asks how Yusei feels about pride . The winner of the D1 Grand Prix gets to face Jack Atlas , Lazar tells Yusei , pointing out that this could be a good opportunity for Yusei to get back his lost pride . Lazar turns to leave , calling back at Yusei to think about it ; give it about a week ' s worth of thought , for that is when the tournament starts . He sniggers and walks off . Yusei looks at the invitation card , " Checkered Flag of Glory " and thinks about a rematch with Jack . He returns to the hospital and sits next to Sect ' s bed , still staring at the card . Yusei , Akiza , Mei and Sakura . In the present , Yusei holds the card and stands at the end of a pier , looking towards New Domino City . Yusei looks back and sees Akiza Izinski , who is with Mei and Sakura , having just got off a boat from the city . Akiza asks if he is a Turbo Duelist and says that she is looking for the one who dueled Jack Atlas . She wants to ask a few questions and notices the " Checkered Flag of Glory " in Yusei ' s hand . Mei and Sakura inspect Yusei ' s Duel Runner . Mei calls it worn - out , but Sakura tells her that that is a rude way of putting it . She tries to think of a politer expression , pauses and says that it is rugged . Akiza notices that the Runner does display signs of prolonged use , but the parts important to the Turbo Dueling are kept intact well ; a sign that Yusei looks after it . Mei tries to touch the Duel Runner , but Yusei yells at her . He apologizes afterwards , saying that he does not like other people touching it . Yusei asks what would happen if he was to say that he knew Jack . Akiza responds that she and Yusei shall face each other in a One - Shot Run . Mei and Sakura are both surprised . Yusei on the other hand , doesn ' t quite understand what she means . Akiza explains that a One - Shot run is a one - on - one battle between both players ace monsters , whose ATK are equalized . Mei mentions that it is a traditional Duel style at Queen ' s Duel Academy . Yusei thinks he understands ; if the ATK are equal , the battle will depend on the power of the players ' Sense . Yusei remembers how his Sense didn ' t work on Jack , but accepts the challenge , thinking he must give this his all . Both duelists have a shield , divided into six crests attached to both sides of their Duel Runner . Whoever is left with the most crests after the battle will be the winner . The two players face each other , with significant distance between them . Yusei and Akiza introduce themselves by name and Summon their ace monsters ; " Lightning Warrior " and " Queen Angel of Roses " , both of which have 2400 ATK . Yusei and Akiza race towards each other . Yusei believes the only way he can raise his Sense is to speed - up , so he does that . Akiza suspects hesitation in Yusei ' s riding , deducing that he is uncertain about his power . With Yusei ' s speed maxed - out , " Lightning Warrior " and " Rose Queen " collide . Yusei ' s Sense is enough to knock off one of Akiza ' s crests , much to her Mei and Sakura ' s shock . Akiza is also surprised , considering Yusei ' s hesitation . However , as it turns out , Akiza had managed to knock off all twelve of Yusei ' s crests . Akiza explains that Virtual Solid Sense also known as Sense is linked to a Duel Runner ' s speed , materializing the Solid Vision and increasing their force . The increase of Sense can be influenced by factors other than speed , such as distance and timing . Just recklessly increasing his speed , won ' t be enough to beat Jack , she tells Yusei . Akiza calls Mei and Sakura back , so they can return to the city . Her friends are puzzled . Sakura asks why Akiza isn ' t going to ask Yusei about Jack . Akiza explains that she touched Yusei ' s Sense and that was enough to tell her what kind of Turbo Duel he had with Jack . She holds up her own " Checkered Flag of Glory " and wishes Yusei that she may see him again in the D1 Grand Prix , before departing . With his head hung over , Yusei considers that there may be duelists stronger than him in the D1 Grand Prix . He looks up and smiles , saying that that got him fired - up and he shall be going to the D1 Grand Prix . Sect . In the hospital , Sect has a dream about the Skeleton Knight .
