Summary
At the detention center
Yusei is moved to a new cell, where he meets his new cell mate, Aoyama. Aoyama tries to welcome Yusei bu offering him the top bunk, while most newcomers get stuck with the bottom. Yusei ignores him and climbs into the top bunk, where he lies and reflects on what has happened over the last few days. Aoyama introduces himself and tells Yusei he saw his duel with Himuro. Yusei asks him to keep it down.
Yanagi appears otside Yusei and Aoyama's cell and escorts him to Himuro. The three of them have all been escorted to this part of the center. Yanagi explains that this part of the place is for long term inmates. Himuro's worried about rumors he's heard of Takasu flashing his power around.
Takasu who is monitoring their conversation remembers Rex Godwin telling him that Yusei is a Signer. Takasu pointed out that their tests indicated otherwise. Nevertheless Rex asked that he keep an eye on Yusei. Takasu is outraged by this. He doesn't believe Yusei can be a Signer and vows to teach Yusei that trash will always be trash.
Back at the cell, Aoyama explains that they use this part of the center to make an example out of outsiders and that he's not going to be leaving any time soon. Aoyama was told he would leave soon over a year ago. He offers Yusei a chance to escape with him. By lifting up the matress on his bed, Aoyama reveals a hole, that took him six months to make. After pasing through it Aoyama leads him to a place just below a well hole in Neo Domino City. Tomorrow his friends are coming to rescue him from up there and jam the alarm system connected to the criminal marks using the Net. Yusei requests that he let Yanagi and Himuro be included in this plan. Aoyama approves sayng that they must do this at eight o' clock tomorrow.
The next morning Takasu speaks with Himuro saying there's been reports of him of him concealing a dangerous weapon and pulls a knife out of Himuro's jacket. He then takes him for interrogation. He asks him about Yusei, but Himuro refuses to sell out his friend. Himuro's wailing is heard throughtout the long term section of the center as Takasu continues to torture him.
The two guards drag Himuro to the center of the long term section, for everyone to see him. Takasu announces that Himuro has committed a serious crime and everyone is to take responsibility for it. All their sentences are to be extended by a year and they are not allowed to leave their cells. The inmates begin to complain. Takasu tells them to shut up. The world doesn't need any single one of them. Their kind doesn't have freedom rights. All they have is the misery to live in the shadows, he says. "If anyone has any complaints, speak up". Yusei interupts him saying that no one is this world is unneeded. He claims Himuro is innocent and a genuine duelist. Takasu points out that he, himself, is also a duelist and asks Yusei if that means Himuro is genuine and he is a fake. Takasu proposes a Duel; If Yusei wins he'll forget Himuro's crime and won't lenghten Yusei's sentence, but if he wins... Yusei finishes his sentence saying he'll be at Takasu's mercy for the rest of his life. Takasu agrees and sets the duel for tomorrow at half past eight. Yusei says that's fine. Aoyama begins to tell Yusei that if he does that, but he's interrupted by Yanagi screaming as the guards drag him to Takasu after finding he has cards. Yanagi pleas with them not to take his cards but Takasu punches him away and confiscates his deck.
Himuro and Yanagi are tossed into a cell. Yusei rushes to them and is followed by many other inmates. Himuro has also had his deck confiscated. Aoyama tells Yusei that Takasu has suckered him; without a deck, Yusei will be little more than a joke. He requests that the two of them just escape. Yanagi and Himuro will be unable to come in their condition. Yusei declines. Aoyama is astonished and says that no one in the center has honor. Yusei tells him that if someone duels him that makes them his friend. If he left without his friends he wouldn't be truely free. Aoyama gets annoyed and tells Yusei not to act tough, without a deck. He then runs off saying "Do whatever you want then, freaking hell." The other inmates confront Yusei telling that he's really went and done it now and they need a little chat.
The next morning at 8:30, the guards escort Yusei to Takasu, who thinks Yusei has no deck, allowing him to win by default. But Yusei shows him he has a deck. Takasu, in shock, asks how he got that. Yusei says that Taksu doesn't understand the care a duelist can have for a card as he reflects on last night, when the other inmates spoke with him. They each gave him cards important to them for Yusei to use against Takasu.
Yusei is given a Duel Disk. Both players have their Duel Disks chained to the ground. As they duel, individual inmates light up, when Yusei plays a card they gave to him. Yusei recieves an electric shock whenever his Life Points take damage. Takasu explains that both players are subjected to a shock when they take damage and it is unlikely that the loser will survive. Only a small current passed through Takasu when he took damage. Takasu claimed that his is out of order. The inmates boo and accuse Takasu of setting that up.
