Summary . In the year 19XX , the shadow that had put Koyo Hibiki into the coma sought its freedom , but notes that it is unable to do so because of the priests . Two archaeologists enter the tomb , and the shadow enslaves them , stating the last step is recover his shattered lithograph . In the present day , 20XX , Zane Truesdale arrives at Duel Academy from the American Duel Academy . Two duelist s from the academy , David Rabb and Reggie MacKenzie accompany him , and both comment that they are looking forward to seeing the skills of Japan ' s duelists . Elsewhere , Jaden Yuki ' s group of friends discuss the news , and Bastion Misawa and Jaden hope to Duel Zane and Atticus Rhodes , Alexis Rhodes ' older brother , who is also in America . Alexis , however , notes that her brother did not come back , stating that he petitioned Chancellor Sheppard himself to be allowed to stay longer . She speculates he ' s probably just met a good - looking girl . An announcement comes over the entire Academy campus , stating that to honor Zane ' s homecoming , a tournament will be held , with the preliminaries being held tomorrow . Points are earned through the number of duels , win percentages , and remaining Life Points . Students must hand their Duel Disk s ' memory cards over to their teachers by 4PM that day . Based on that data , they ' ll determine the top eight , who will compete in the last leg of the tournament . The preliminaries are being held all over the island , and all can participate , but one may not duel the same opponent more than once . The tournament ' s winner will be permitted to duel Zane , and should they win , they ' ll be exempt from the next midterm exam . Chancellor Sheppard meets with Zane and the two American duelists who accompanied him in his office . He apologizes to Zane for holding the tournament immediately after his arrival , but Zane says he ' s quite looking forward to watching it himself . David and Reggie ask for Sheppard ' s permission to enter the tournament , and he accepts , saying that his students have not gotten many chances to duel against people from other nations . Both have also never dueled Zane , and are eager to . Midori Hibiki notes that the two have matching earrings , but puts it out of her mind and speculates that they must be exceptional duelists to be able allowed to study abroad . Outside , Jaden asks if Bastion would begin the preliminaries by dueling him . Bastion declines , stating that he wants to advance in the tournament , and dueling Jaden that early would be a risk . He privately thinks that there ' s one person he wishes to duel regardless of the odds , while staring at Chazz Princeton . Alexis agrees with Bastion , saying she wouldn ' t want to duel either Jaden or Bastion too early . Syrus declares that he ' ll enter , and that he wants to face his brother . The four agree to meet in the finals . Jaden oversleeps the next morning , a bit perturbed that Syrus didn ' t wake him before leaving . He rushes to find opponents before the 4 o ' clock deadline . Syrus is in the forest , and has won the first three duels he participated in , which has boosted his confidence . He meets David Rabb , who asks if he ' s Zane ' s younger brother . When he replies in the positive , David challenges him to a duel , which Syrus accepts . Before they begin , David states that he wishes to ask Syrus a rather odd question . He wonders if Syrus knows of any cards that have a spirit living in them . Syrus recalls Jaden stating that his " Winged Kuriboh " does , but doesn ' t answer David , who apologizes for asking such an odd question . Zane watches from behind a tree as the duel begins . Elsewhere , Chazz and Bastion have agreed to duel one another , with both saying they ' ve been looking forward to it for quite a long time . Chazz assumed that Bastion looks down on him for losing to Jaden but Bastion responds that that ' s untrue , and that he himself was beaten by Jaden .
