Yusei Fudo , Jack and Crow have just finished fixing up the engine of a Duel Runner . Just then Akiza appears before them in a leather outfit . Though she tells them of her uncertainty , Yusei reassures her the opposite . A flashback is shown in which Akiza tells him that she wants to know and feel the world of Turbo Duel ing that Yusei experiences . With that , she has resolved to get her own license . Yusei tells Akiza that her Duel Runner was assembled from parts obtained from a junkyard , assuring her that it should be enough for the test . Akiza is grateful for the Duel Runner , and is now more determined to get her Turbo Dueling license . At the Duel Academy , after class , while cleaning her helmet , Leo and Luna approach her , asking if she also has plans on entering the WRGP . She denies it , claiming the sole purpose of this is to experience what Yusei and the others feel when they are Turbo Dueling . They are unexpectedly approached by three other candidates for the test , trying to convince her to give up in a most mocking manner . This , however , does not deter Akiza ' s resolve a bit , the only thing resulting from this is a rebuke from Luna towards the three . Later , the Head instructor calls them to start the lesson on how to ride a Duel Runner . The lesson commences with all the students trying to pass a corner at an accelerated speed , some failing to do so , including Akiza . However , she spends the afternoon practicing , and despite some initial difficulties with her riding skills , her self - motivation and determination to continue , as well as Yusei ' s tutelage , help her to pass the first exam . Akiza ' s qualification Turbo Duel . After this , Yusei decides to teach her how to ride backwards . However , while trying to do so , Akiza ends up crashing again . In order to help her with this , he takes her to a skating ring to learn how to balance better . During this , Leo says It ' s a date , but Luna doesn ' t think so . Akiza tries to skate , resulting in her stumbling , making him understand that this is the first time she skates . Despite this minor setback , she eventually learns not only how to skate , but she does it quite proficiently . At this point , Luna agrees with Leo that it seems to be a date after all . The next day , Yusei , with the help of Jack and Crow , have remodeled her Duel Runner for her qualification duel . Akiza , who is happy because of the effort they ' ve put for her , reassures them that she will obtain her license . Finally , everyone gathers at the Duel Academy ’ s riding field , where the final exam will be held over , this includes the 3 previous students who despise Akiza for having succeeded over them . As they watch some other guy crashing before the Duel even commences , they managed to identify to their surprise the guy who is in charge of the exam , Trudge . Trudge tells Akiza that because of the Grand Prix , the amount of people requesting for a license has increased way up . And so , in order for her to pass the exam and obtain one , she must defeat him . As her friends are concerned about how she will fare in the Duel , Trudge says that he won ’ t go easy on her , to which Akiza replies that she doesn ’ t want him to . And so , the Turbo Duel officially commences between the two of them . As the duel begins , in addition to being new to Speed Spells and to Turbo dueling overall , Akiza has a harsh time as Trudge is purposely playing rough on her , in order to teach her how to handle herself in an actual Turbo Duel . At first Trudge takes the lead , destroying Akiza ' s ace monster , " Black Rose Dragon " , and inflicting serious damage to her Life points . At the end of Duel though , Akiza makes an offensive comeback with a combination of her " Splendid Rose " and " Blossom Bombardment " . As Trudge is on the verge of losing , the 3 individuals in the stands have plotted to harm her by detonating a frame holding large pipes . The pipes come crashing down after Trudge has passed them . While Yusei is concerned by this turn of events , Trudge simply warns her that if she stops , the exam will be over . After a brief moment of shock and worry , she then remembers Sherry and the reason why she ' s doing all of this . Reacting instantly , she uses the skills she learned from Yusei and successfully avoids all the pipes . As she catches up with Trudge , he becomes surprised as well . Duel Result . The Duel ends with Akiza defeating Trudge , and as they both stop , he congratulates her on passing the exam . As Yusei and the others are glad to hear the result , Jack , who overheard the three about their involvement with the pipes in order to harm Akiza , decided to teach them a lesson with his own hands - literally . Even Sherry , who was watching her display of skills from afar , is intrigued by the outcome . With Akiza having officially earned her license , Yusei offers his hand as a sign of congratulation , to which she reciprocates with her own , and welcomes her to the world of Turbo Dueling .
