Rook Takes Knight, known as The Dark Card - Hidden Knight -Hook- in the japanese version, is the one-hundred and fifth episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.

Team 5D's faces Team Catastrophe in the second preliminary round of the World Racing Grand Prix. Nicolas of Team Catastrophe, has his Shadow Monster "Hook the Hidden Knight" attempt to crash Crow's Duel Runner by inflicting real damage. Crow pushes himself to the very limit by attempting to dodge.

Summary

The second round of the WRGP commences with the duel between Team Catastrophe and Team 5D's. Hermann of Team Catastrophe uses "Hook the Hidden Knight", which has a shadow effect where, every time the monster attacks or deals damage by its effect, a phantom shadow of the monster tries to physically destroy the tires on Crow's Duel Runner with its hooks. Knowing that his injuries make it painful to ride, Team 5Ds calls Crow back to the pit, but he refuses and pushes on. Having already dodged one of the phantom's attacks, Crow relies on his steering reflexes to dodge "Hook the Hidden Knight" while trying to come up with a strategy to destroy it. Each dodge frustrates Team Catastrophe further, even pushing Crow to rely on Blackbird's flight mode as their monster becomes more bold. But though the strain and shock from swerving are aggravating Crow's injuries, Crow's determined rage pulls him to launch multiple attacks, culminating in an attack from Black-Winged Dragon, overwhelming Hermann's defenses and Life Points to destroy Hook the Hidden Knight. Even Hermann's attempt to revive the shadow monster for his teammates is countered by Crow, and only when the monster is gone for good is Crow content to return to the pit. Jack takes his place.

The second half of the episode involves the duel between Jack Atlas and Team Catastrophe's next duelist, Nicolas. During his first turn, Nicolas sets one card facedown and ends his turn. During Jack's turn, he discards Dread Dragon to summon his Power Giant and he uses this card to attack. Nicolas counters with a trap called Doom's Ray which inflicts 800 Life Points of damage for each card in the user's hand to both players. Since he has 5 cards, 5 * 800 = 4000. (He also mentions that Hook the Hidden Knight wasn't the only shadow card, and then Team 5D's members realize that Doom's Ray is another shadow card). A large explosion from the trap fills the field, and to his shock, Nicolas is being affected by the real damage. Primo then mentions how he doesn't need him anymore. But Jack is unfazed, as Power Giant's special ability prevents Jack from taking any damage when he attacks with it. On the outside, everyone sees the explosion and a Duel Runner being blown to bits, with Team 5D's and their friends thinking it was Jack. But then Jack emerges from the flames and is carrying Nicolas. Because Nicolas's Duel Runner was destroyed, and therefore he could not make it back to the pit to tag Hans into the match, his team loses. Lester asks Primo why things never work out in his way, but Primo had already left. The scene cuts to a large garage opening, releasing legions of Riding-Roids onto the highway. From atop a tall building, Primo issues his orders to the Riding-Roids, calling them "Diablo".

Mistakes

• Crow says that "Blackback" allows him to Special Summon a Blackwing from his Graveyard with less than 2000 ATK points, when he should have said 2000 or less. If the effect was the way he said it, he wouldn't have been able to summon "Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn", since it has 2000 ATK.
• Jack said that Power Giant's effect works for both duelists. He was supposed to say it for himself. This is corrected in the English version.
• When the computerized voice was saying what level Power Giant was, it was supposed to say it was a level "6" but it ended coming out differently then the word of it was supposed to say which was "six"
