| − | Five years later, the Knights of Hanoi continued their search of [[Ai]]; but had many of their operations interrupted by the mysterious Duelist [[Yusaku Fujiki|Playmaker]], who defeated their agents, earning a name for himself. [[ | + | Five years later, the Knights of Hanoi continued their search of [[Ai]]; but had many of their operations interrupted by the mysterious Duelist [[Yusaku Fujiki|Playmaker]], who defeated their agents, earning a name for himself. [[Spectre]], the Knights' second-in-command, informed [[Varis]] that a trace of Ai was detected and that [[SOL Technologies]] was in pursuit. Knowing that if SOL retrieved Ai, they would be able to restore Cyberse and ruin the Knights' efforts, forcing the Knights to act. Spectre informed Varis about Playmaker, who had interfered with them before. Varis wondered if Playmaker was a member of SOL, but dismissed the possibility as they would act more publicly. Spectre added that Playmaker erased every trace of his activity and eluded the Knights' searches, concluding that whoever he is he must be a skilled hacker. Varis became interested in Playmaker, but decided to leave him for now as Ai was their priority.<ref name="ep1" /> |
While SOL Technologies performed a city scan in order to search for Ai, the Knights of Hanoi decided to attack as the defenses of VRAINS would be left vulnerable at that point. Varis ordered his men to search for Ai, assaulting the digital world with their "Cracking Dragons" and ravaging the users in their way, deleting their accounts in the process. Ai's remnants in the form of an eye was swiftly cornered by the Knights until [[Yusaku Fujiki]] and [[Kal Kolter]] used the lowered defenses to create an alternative path for Ai, who used the newly made escape route, but ended up in Yusaku's [[Duel Disk]] as a result. Yusaku entered VRAINS using his persona Playmaker, saving the [[Celebrity Duelist]] [[Skye Zaizen|Blue Angel]] at the nick of time before she was deleted. Yusaku then confronted a Knight of Hanoi who told him that the AI they were looking for was on his Duel Disk and threatened to delete it if they did not cease their attack. Since Ai was bonded to Yusaku's Duel Disk, the Knights must defeat Playmaker in a Duel in order to obtain it. Varis, watching from afar, was amused at Playmaker while the Knights' agent accepted the challenge.<ref name="ep1" /> | While SOL Technologies performed a city scan in order to search for Ai, the Knights of Hanoi decided to attack as the defenses of VRAINS would be left vulnerable at that point.

Ai estimated that Yusaku's current Deck was not enough to defeat the Knight's "Cracking Dragon". He caused a [[Data Storm]] and instructed Yusaku to ride the wind and enter a [[Speed Duel (VRAINS)|Speed Duel]].<ref name="ep1" /> Ai taught Yusaku the rules of Speed Duels. The Knight of Hanoi quickly Summoned his "Cracking Dragon", which he used for the remainder of the Duel, exploiting its abilities to avoid destruction and inflict effect damage, and further exacerbating his advantage through the [[Skill]] "Double Draw" which let him draw two cards during his Draw Phase. Ai realized they must have hacked the system as the Skill was not known to him. Although Yusaku fared decently against the Knight of Hanoi, his LP was on critical state so Ai instructed him to take a path where he was engulfed in a massive storm. Inside the tempest, Ai told Yusaku that his LP was low enough to use the Skill "Storm Access" to gain a powerful monster. Yusaku did so and was able to acquire "[[Decode Talker (anime)|Decode Talker]]" and Link Summon it. Through a combination of "[[Cyberse Wizard (anime)|Cyberse Wizard]]" and "Decode Talker", he was able to exploit the low DEF of "Cracking Dragon" and inflict [[piercing]] damage as a result of "Decode Talker" gaining ATK through its own effect, and due to [[Link Monster|being unable to be in Defense Position]], it bypassed the Knight's "[[Pulse Mines]]", defeating the Knight.<ref name="ep2">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

| − | + | Spectre and Varis discussed the events of the Duel with Playmaker. Varis preferred Playmaker having his hands on Ai for a while over SOL Technologies having him, but added they should not leave him with Playmaker for too long. He them summed up a list of characteristics of Playmaker's that might help discover his true identity, one of these being that Playmaker would eventually want to Duel him. Varis briefly logged out of LINK VRAINS to visit [[Kiyoshi Kogami|his father]].<ref name="ep3" /> | |

Spectre, confident they could use her, approached her claiming to be a fan. He gave her "[[Dark Angel (anime)|Dark Angel]]" and disappeared, with Blue Angel having a vague recollection of what happened. Ai lured Playmaker into facing Blue Angel after sensing Hanoi's presence on her. Playmaker accepted her challenge intending to investigate her.<ref name="ep6">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|6|ref}}</ref> The Duel began and Blue Angel punished Playmaker repeatedly with the [[effect damage]] combo from her "[[Trickstar]]" cards forcing Playmaker to the defensive, although she later discovered it was his plan all along in order to use his Storm Access [[Skill]]. Varis watched from afar, confident that once Blue Angel used "Dark Angel" she would be unable to disobey them. Blue Angel attempted to defeat Playmaker using her Skill "Trickstar Trick" in order to force Playmaker to draw cards and inflict game-ending damage, but he prevented this by using "[[Defect Compiler (anime)|Defect Compiler]]" to nullify the damage. With little resources left, Blue Angel resorted to using "Dark Angel", which had a severe effect on her. Playmaker rapidly used a combination of "[[Encode Talker (anime)|Encode Talker]]", "Defect Compiler", and "[[Frontline Disturbance]]" to increase the ATK of "Encode Talker" and weaken that of "[[Trickstar Holly Angel (anime)|Trickstar Holly Angel]]" in order to defeat Blue Angel with a single attack.<ref name="ep7">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

Playmaker Dueled Varis for the cure to Blue Angel's Virus and had a [[DRAW]] in their first encounter. However, a rematch occurred afterwards which Playmaker won. He obtained the cure and freed Blue Angel.<ref name="ep9">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|9|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep10">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|10|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep11">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!
