Changes

Akiza and the rest of [[Team 5D's]] accompany [[Yusei Fudo|Yusei]] on his assault on the [[Divine Temple]]. When the gang gets split into three groups due to [[Z-one]]'s trap, she travels with [[Crow Hogan|Crow]] to the center of the structure. When [[Sherry LeBlanc|Sherry]] appears before them, the two of them Duel her. Sherry plays her "[[Ecole de Zone (anime)|Ecole de Zone]]" [[Field Spell]], separating them. After struggling for a few turns, Akiza sees through Sherry's trick and with Crow's help successfully Summons her "[[Black Rose Dragon (anime)|Black Rose Dragon]]", using its effect to destroy the Field Spell. She is reunited with Crow, but Sherry fights back by using "[[Z-ONE (anime)|Z-ONE]]" to [[activate]] "[[Soul-Binding Gate (anime)|Soul-Binding Gate]]".

Because of the [[card effect|effect]] of the new Field Spell all three of them receive [[effect damage|damage]], with Akiza on the verge of being defeated. Crow saves her from defeat, and Akiza returns the favor by saving him from a [[direct attack]] from Sherry's "[[Sorciere de Fleur (anime)|Sorciere de Fleur]]" and helping win the Duel. During the Duel, Sherry reveals to them that she wishes to create a world where everyone gets to be with their family, herself included. Crow was hesitant to continue fighting when he saw a few orphans from the Satellite in the vision, but Akiza quickly reminds him that millions of people will die if they let Sherry and Z-one destroy [[New Domino City]]. She also tells him that as long as he believes in the future, anything can be done. With his conviction returned, they continue the Duel. Sherry is defeated, however because the cards in the Duel are real her "Soul-Binding Gate" crumbles and is about to fall on her. Both Akiza and Crow try to save her, but Akiza's "Black Rose Dragon" who is still materialized saves them. Akiza had wished to save Crow and Sherry, which "[[Black Rose Dragon (character)|Black Rose Dragon]]" responded to. "Black Rose Dragon" also heals them before disappearing, leading Crow to speculate that true psychic power heals. Akiza and Crow then convince Sherry to join their cause.
