Z - one has just ended his turn , shortly after Summoning " Metaion , the Timelord " and asks if Yusei really has the power to change the future to prove it by defeating him . Yusei looks at New Domino City below him and thinks it will be crushed if he doesn ' t hurry . Down below people , including Carly look up at the monitors Z - one has provided and are surprised to see Yusei dueling . Trudge and Mina try to remind people of the danger they ' re in and urge them to evacuate . The MC bumps into someone and makes an over - the - top reaction . He quickly apologizes and bows , dropping a microphone from his bag as he does so . Looking at the microphone , he experiences an epiphany . In the sky , Yusei declares that for the sake of New Domino City , he will prove to Z - one that he can stop the Divine Temple . Yusei begins his turn and both players ' SPC goes up to 1 . Since Z - one control s monsters , while he controls none , Yusei Special Summon s " Double Delta Warrior " from his hand . He then discard s " Quillbolt Hedgehog " and " Clear Effector " to Special Summon " Big Eater " . Since he controls a Tuner monster , Yusei Special Summons " Quillbolt Hedgehog " from his Graveyard . Next he Normal Summon s " Debris Dragon " and uses its effect to Special Summon " Clear Effector " from his Graveyard , with its effects negate d . On the Divine Temple , Team 5D ' s are impressed to see Yusei Summon five monsters in one turn . Yusei tunes the Level 6 " Delta Warrior " with the Level 2 " Big Eater " and says that with all the strength everyone has given him , he will use the power of their Synchros to represent their bonds . Crow ' s Mark of the Dragon lights up as Yusei picks the Level 8 " Black - Winged Dragon " . The two of them together chant " " Darkened squalls , become the wings that soar from resolved hope . Synchro Summon ! Soar , Black - Feather Dragon ! " " as " Black - Winged Dragon " is Synchro Summon ed . Next Yusei tunes the Level 2 " Quillbolt Hedgehog " and the Level 2 " Clear Effector " with the Level 4 " Debris Dragon " and selects the Level 8 " Red Dragon Archfiend " . Jack ' s Mark of the Dragon lights up and Yusei and Jack together chant " " The ruler ' s heartbeats will now file through here . Take witness to its creation - shaking power . Synchro Summon ! My very soul , Red Demon ' s Dragon ! " " as " Red Dragon Archfiend " is Synchro Summoned . Sherry is impressed to see two Synchro Monsters Summoned in one turn . Crow and Jack give Yusei some encouragement to make use of their dragons . Yusei looks at Z - one and says that his beliefs shall lead him to victory . Down in the city , everyone looks up in awe at the Duel . Lazar receives contact from Trudge and is shocked to hear that the evacuation is being delayed . As Mina desperately tries to get everyone ' s attention and refocus them on the evacuation , Trudge explains that they can ' t do anything while Yusei ' s Duel is being broadcasted . Lazar asks if anything can be done to stop the broadcast . The MC suddenly appears behind him and says that he might be of some assistance . Elsworth smiles and turns on the speaks , allowing the MC to communicate with the citizens . The MC informs the citizens that Yusei is fighting against Z - one to save them and they should continue their evacuation if they don ' t want his effort to be in vain . However he shall keep them updated through their ears as he commentates . Before that can happen , he says that they must be in a safe place . The citizens start to run to safety and the MC proceeds to explain what is happening in the Duel . Trudge breaths a sigh of relief and looks up in admiration to the MC . Inside the Sector Security building , Lazar asks if the MC is alright , as he should be evacuating in the situation like this . The MC replies that he wouldn ' t evacuate with this amazing Duel in front of him ; he ' d rather die than miss it . Back in the Duel , Z - one says that like he had expected , Yusei has brought out the servants of the Crimson Dragon . However no matter how strong Yusei ' s Synchro Monsters are , he says that it will fail to change the situation . Sherry recollects the effects of " Metaion , the Timelord " : it cannot be destroyed by battle , Z - one doesn ' t take Battle Damage from it and when Yusei attack s it , all of Yusei ' s monsters are returned to his hand and he takes 300 damage for each . Akiza comments that it means Yusei can ' t destroy " Metaion " or inflict damage , and if he does attack , he ' ll only take damage himself . Jack explains that there is an easy way out ; During the End Phase , " Red Dragon Archfiend " destroys all monsters you control that did not declare an attack . Crow asks if that means that " Black - Winged Dragon " will be destroyed . Jack replies that it will , but Crow angrily says they ' ll just see about that . Z - one laughs that no matter how powerful the Synchro Monster is , attacking is still useless , but Yusei asks if Z - one thinks Yusei doesn ' t have something to back himself up . Since " Double Delta Warrior " was used for a Synchro Summon , Yusei cannot attack and since " Clear Effector " was used to Synchro Summon " Red Dragon Archfiend " , the effect of " Red Dragon Archfiend " is negated , so even if Yusei doesn ' t attack with " Black - Winged Dragon " , it won ' t be destroyed . The effect of " Clear Effector " also lets Yusei draw a card . Yusei Set s two cards in his Spell & Trap Card Zone and ends his turn . The MC commentates that Yusei was able to Set two cards and is now in a situation where he cannot make one careless attack . However he is confident that Yusei can turn it around with his two Synchro Monsters . Z - one asks if Yusei really thought he was unable to attack him . Yusei is puzzled , but Z - one explains that Yusei was unwilling to attack him from the beginning and asks if that is correct . Team 5D ' s wonder what this is about , but Akiza is confident that Yusei has something planned . Z - one begins his turn and both players ' SPC goes up to 2 . During Z - one ' s Standby Phase , " Metaion , the Timelord " returns to Z - one ' s Deck and he asks if this is what Yusei had been aiming for . He suspects that Yusei has realized that like " Metaion " , all the " Timelord " cards have the effect to return to the Deck during the Standby Phase . Yusei answers that that is correct and Z - one says that what he sees in Yusei is the answer of death . Yusei asks why Z - one revealed the effects of the " Timelord " cards to him . Z - one replies that since Yusei about to face death , it is not really revealing . Z - one says that he knew Yusei only Summoned monsters , so that he could attack him after " Metaion " returned to the Deck . Z - one says that under Yusei ' s assumption every " Timelord " will return to his Deck , leaving him unprotected and asks if that is what Yusei had been hoping for and if he thought that he could overcome the situation just by waiting like that . Yusei answers that he is correct and in this situation he can skip the Battle Phase and Z - one will still be unprotected . Z - one smirks and says that he , like Yusei , once believed in possibilities and tried to protect this world , but everything turned out to be a failure , which he credits to faith . Yusei angrily replies that he is not like Z - one , because no matter what the obstacles are , he believes that provided there is a possibility , he will never give up . Yusei vows to carve a new future with his hands and to do so , he shall believe in possibility . Jack wonders what Yusei has to back himself up and Crow worries that the " Timelord " monsters will just continue to endure his attacks . No matter what the situation , Sherry says that there is always a chance to grab the route to victory and that is what Yusei has always done . Luna looks up at the Duel and comments that they have faith in Yusei . Z - one says that believing in such possibilities is foolish and asks has Yusei learned nothing from the defeat of Aporia . Z - one activates his Continuous Trap Card " Nonexistence " and explains that when he controls no monsters , he is able to Summon a Level 10 or higher monster without Releasing anything , but the monster ' s ATK will be reduced to 0 . Z - one then Summons " Lazion , the Timelord " and reminds Yusei that it cannot be destroyed by battle , any Battle Damage Z - one takes from it is reduced to 0 , when it battles all monsters that Yusei controls and all cards in his Graveyard are returned to his Deck and when Yusei draws a card , he takes 1000 damage . Yusei recognizes this as the " Timelord " that defeated Aporia . Z - one says that in facing him , Yusei has no hope of winning and tells Yusei to genuflect before the power of a god or die . " Lazion " declares an attack on " Red Dragon Archfiend " . Team 5D ' s start to worry , but Yusei activates his face - down " Scrap - Iron Scarecrow " , negating the attack . Afterwards , " Scrap - Iron Scarecrow " is returned to its face - down position . The MC fills the citizens in on what happened , while Sherry and Team 5D ' s compliment Yusei ' s move . Yusei tells Z - one that no matter how much he throws at him , he will not fail and he will carve a new fate with his hands . Z - one Sets a card in his Spell & Trap Card Zone and ends his turn . Crow worries that the " Timelord " will attack again , but Akiza points out that if that does happen , Yusei can use " Scrap - Iron Scarecrow " to prevent its effect again . Jack says that that is it and urges Yusei to grab victory before Z - one has a strategy . Yusei begins his turn and both players ' SPC goes up to 3 . Yusei is glad to see that he drew " Speed Spell - Angel Baton " . However the effect of " Lazion " activates and Yusei takes 1000 damage , sending his Duel Runner spinning violently off course . However Yusei manages to regain control before any harm is done . Yusei activates " Angel Baton " , drawing " Junk Synchron " and " Regen Warrior " . He immediately comes up with a combo using the two of them . He thinks that the " Timelord " s may be nearly invincible , but there is a way to break through . Yusei discards " Regene Warrior " for the effect of " Angel Batton " . This allows him to Special Summon " Regene Warrior " through its own effect as it was sent from his hand to the Graveyard . Yusei then Normal Summons " Junk Synchron " . He tuns the Level 4 " Regene Warrior " to the Level 3 " Junk Synchron " and chooses the Level 7 " Black Rose Dragon " , causing Akiza ' s Mark of the Dragon to glow . Together , Yusei and Akiza chant " " Chilling flames engulf the entire world . Pitch - dark flower , set into bloom . Synchro Summon ! Appear now , Black Rose Dragon ! " " as " Black Rose Dragon " is Synchro Summoned . Everyone is delighted to see or hear that Yusei has managed to Summon a third dragon . To everyone ' s surprise , Yusei declares that he is activating " Black Rose Gale " , the effect of " Black Rose Dragon " which destroys all cards on the field . Akiza asks why Yusei is destroying his own monsters . Z - one points out that the effect of " Lazion " prevents itself being destroyed by card effects and Yusei will no longer be able to defend his monsters with " Scrap - Iron Scarecrow " . He asks is not quite disadvantageous , but Yusei says not to underestimate the power of his teams Synchro Monsters . Yusei chains his face - down card " Synchro Barrier Force " , which negates an effect that destroys cards and then inflicts 500 damage to his opponent for each Synchro Monster he controls . Yusei explains that he controls three Synchro Monsters that his friends gave him and the power of bonds with friends shall inflict 1500 damage to Z - one . The blast sends Z - one spinning and crashing through a building as his Life Points drop to 2500 . Yusei ends his turn and the city celebrates and cheer his name . The MC says that Yusei will gain hope from their voices and calls him New Domino City ' s savior . Z - one comes out the other end of the building , with his mask cracked . He laughs that they are calling Yusei a savior and hovers over to Yusei . He points out that Yusei always seems to have people cheering him on to give him hope . Yusei asks what he means and Z - one replies by asking if he needs to explain . The damaged portion of Z - one ' s mask starts to crumble away and Z - one reminds Yusei that he has lived through the future of the earth and Yusei is a hero of legend . Yusei is surprised to learn the latter , but then sees more of Z - one ' s mask fall apart , revealing some of his face . To everyone ' s surprise Z - one ' s face looks like an older wrinkled version of Yusei ' s and has the same criminal mark . Yusei then asks Z - one just " Who in the world are you ? " Featured Duel : Z - one vs . Yusei Fudo . Turn 2 : Yusei Yusei has just conducted his Draw Phase . During the Standby Phase , the effect of " Speed World 2 " activates ( Z - one ' s SPC : 0 → 1 ; Yusei ' s SPC : 0 → 1 ) . Since Yusei control s no monsters while Z - one has monsters on his side of the field , Yusei Special Summon s " Double Delta Warrior " ( 6 / 0 / 2100 ) from his hand in Attack Position . Yusei then sends " Quillbolt Hedgehog " and " Clear Effector " from his hand to the Graveyard in order to Special Summon " Big Eater " ( 2 / 800 / 0 ) from his hand in Attack Position . Since Yusei controls a Tuner monster , he Special Summons " Quillbolt Hedgehog " ( 2 / 800 / 800 ) from his Graveyard in Attack Position . Yusei then Normal Summon s " Debris Dragon " ( 4 / 1000 / 2000 ) in Attack Position . Yusei then activates the effect of " Debris Dragon " to Special Summon " Clear Effector " ( 2 / 0 / 900 ) from his Graveyard in Attack Position . Yusei then tunes " Double Delta Warrior " with " Big Eater " in order to Synchro Summon " Black - Winged Dragon " ( 8 / 2800 / 1600 ) in Attack Position . Since " Double Delta Warrior " was used as a Synchro Material Monster , none of Yusei ' s monsters can attack this turn . Yusei then tunes " Clear Effector " and " Quillbolt Hedgehog " with " Debris Dragon " in order to Synchro Summon " Red Dragon Archfiend " ( 8 / 3000 / 2000 ) in Attack Position . Since " Clear Effector " was sent to the Graveyard for a Synchro Summon , Yusei draws one card and the effects of " Red Dragon Archfiend " are negated . Since " Quillbolt Hedgehog " was removed from the field , it is removed from play . Yusei Set s two cards . Turn 3 : Z - one Z - one draws . During the Standby Phase , the effect of " Speed World 2 " activates ( Z - one ' s SPC : 1 → 2 ; Yusei ' s SPC : 1 → 2 ) . At the same time , " Metaion , the Timelord " returns to Z - one ' s Deck due to its last effect . Z - one then activates his face - down " Nonexistence " . Now Z - one can Normal Summon Level 10 or above monsters without Tributing if he controls no monsters ; however the ATK of all monsters he controls will become 0 . Z - one then uses the effect of " Nonexistence " to Normal Summon " Lazion , the Timelord " ( 10 / 0 / 0 ) in Attack Position without Tributing . " Lazion " then attacks " Red Dragon Archfiend " , but Yusei activates his face - down " Scrap - Iron Scarecrow " to negate the attack . After its effect resolves , " Scrap - Iron Scarecrow " Sets itself face - down instead of being sent to the Graveyard . Z - one Sets a card . Turn 4 : Yusei Yusei draws " Speed Spell - Angel Baton " . Since Yusei drew a card during his Draw Phase , the fourth effect of " Lazion " activates . Yusei apparently declines to use the effect of " Black - Winged Dragon " to negate the damage , since he ends up taking 1000 damage ( Yusei 4000 → 3000 ) . During the Standby Phase , the effect of " Speed World 2 " activates ( Z - one ' s SPC : 2 → 3 ; Yusei ' s SPC : 2 → 3 ) . Yusei then activates " Speed Spell - Angel Baton " to draw two cards ( " Junk Synchron " and " Regen Warrior " ) and send " Regen Warrior " from his hand to the Graveyard . The effect of " Regen Warrior " ( 4 / 0 / 0 ) then activates , allowing Yusei to Special Summon it from his Graveyard in Attack Position . Yusei then Normal Summons " Junk Synchron " ( 3 / 1300 / 500 ) in Attack Position . Yusei then tunes " Regen Warrior " with " Junk Synchron " in order to Synchro Summon " Black Rose Dragon " ( 7 / 2400 / 1800 ) in Attack Position . Yusei then activates the first effect of " Black Rose Dragon " to destroy all cards on the field . He then activates his face - down " Synchro Barrier Force " to negate the effect of " Black Rose Dragon " and inflict 1500 damage to Z - one ( 500 for each Synchro Monster that Yusei controls ) ( Z - one 4000 → 2500 ) .
