{{Episode summary|With the audience on his side, [[Gill Randsborg]] faces [[Akiza Izinski]] and exposes her as the Black Rose.}}

Randsborg starts the Duel, announcing that he will give her no mercy. After Akiza Summons "[[Black Rose Dragon (anime)|Black Rose Dragon]]", [[Yusei Fudo|Yusei's]] dragon mark begins to react, while a strong breeze flows around the crowd, who stare in surprise. Randsborg and the audience recognize it as the card used by the Black Rose Witch. [[Greiger]], who watches the duel with Yusei, tells him that "[[Black Rose Dragon]]" is a creature of ill omen that brings forth ruin and destruction.
