{{episode summary|Yusei has managed to reunite with his friend [[Crow Hogan]], who tells him about some disturbance coming from the inner part of [[Satellite]]. Meanwhile, [[Jack Atlas]] and [[Carly Carmine]] spend the day at an amusement park, unaware that they are being followed by [[Mina Simington|Mina]] and [[Tetsu Ushio|Trudge]].}}

Crow slides down from the pile of junk. He and Yusei approach each other, raising their arms as though they're about to punch each other. But they exchange a high-five, handshake gesture. They laugh and talk about recent happenings. Crow notes Yusei's [[criminal mark]], and Yusei notes Crow's Duel Runner, which he claimed he finished last year.

[[Carly Carmine|Carly's]] chief, [[Mr. Pitts]], contacts her on her computer. If she can't get them an article they can use she's fired, he threatens her. Carly begins to fret. Jack already knows she's a reporter(although the dub doesn't imply that he does know at this point), how can she just ask him to let her write a story on him, she wonders. Simply asking him will make him mad, but she assures herself it's her job and proceeds to his room to ask him. She enters his room, finding he's left.

The securities ready their [[Duel Disk]]s and activate "[[Speed World (anime)|Speed World]]". The probe pursuing the alleged criminals emits the holograms for the Duel, forcing Yusei and Crow into a [[Turbo Duel]], using the [[Tag Force]] rules.

Carly spots Jack inside a monorail station. Jack attempts to pass through a barrier but is stopped and asked for a ticket. Jack begins to make a scene as he gets frustrated wondering why he can't get through. People begin talking wondering if that could be Jack Atlas and saying that he heard he was born in Satellite. Carly steps in in front of Jack and begins waving her arms around. She tells the people that it's not Jack, just but an ordinary guy who looks like him(In the dub, she claims that he is her cousin Ralph). Jack turns to leave, but Carly grabs his wrist and escorts him out.

One of the Securities Summons "[[Gate Blocker (anime)|Gate Blocker]]", [[Tribute]]s it for "[[Gate Blocker 2]]" and Sets 3 cards.

[[File:ArmoredWingPunchesGateBlocker2.png|left|200px|thumb|"[[Blackwing Armor Master]]" leaves a [[Wedge Counter]] in "[[Gate Blocker 2]]".]]As Crow begins his turn, the Security activates "[[Full Throttle (anime)|Full Throttle]]", gaining a "[[Speed Counter]]". "[[Gate Blocker 2]]" prevents Crow from gaining any. He then plays "[[Speed Edge (anime)|Speed Edge]]" damaging Crow. Crow brings out "[[Blackwing - Bora the Spear (anime)|Blackwing - Bora the Spear]]" and "[[Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind(anime)|Gale the Whirlwind]]", reducing . He then activates the latter monster's effect to reduce the DEF of "Gate Blocker 2's" [[DEF]]. The Security uses his last [[face-down]] "[[Defender's Mind (anime)|Defender's Mind]]", returning the DEF of "Gate Blocker 2's" DEF to normal. Crow brings out his ace "[[Blackwing Armor Master (anime)|Blackwing Armor Master]]", using his 2 monsters as [[Synchro Summon|Synchro material]]. "Armor Master" attacks "Gate Blocker 2". The Securities laugh that Crow will take damage, since the DEF of "Gate Blocker 2's" DEF is higher than the ATK of "Armor Master's" ATK. The effect of "Armor Master" however reduces the damage to 0 and shoves a [[Wedge Counter|spike ]] into "Gate Blocker 2". Crow Sets 2 cards and ends his turn.

The effect of "Gale the Whirlwind's" effect wears off and "Defender's Mind" ups the DEF of "Gate Blocker 2's" DEF to 6000. "Full Throttle" and "Speed Edge" hit Crow again dropping his Life Points to 2200 as the next Security begins his turn. He Summons "[[Gate Defender (anime)|Gate Defender]]" in Defense Position. Crow tells Yusei that he's driven in the wedge and the rest is now up to him. Yusei agrees, saying that their bonds will demolish that defensive wall.

[[File:5Dx031 Mr. Bean.jpg|thumb|leftright|180px|Jack and Carly on one of the rides.]]Carly takes Jack on various rides in the hopes of pushing him to his limits. Jack remains bored and unperturbed throughout all the rides. Carly however, along with Mina and Trudge, who are stalking them scream and screaming at the top of their voiceslungs.

Carly proceeds on after Jack and spots him overlooking a pool. Jack looks into the water reminiscing over people cheering for him and Yusei calling his name. Carly goes to buy drinks before approaching him. Noticing how Jack is depressed, she wonders if trying to write an article about him makes her a bad person. [[Angela RainsRaines|Angela]] greets Carly and asks if she's heard the tip as well, that people have spotted Jack Atlas here. Angela aims to prove he really is from [[Satellite]]; if he was lying through his teeth, it will prove to be one fine fraud. Angela continues that since Jack ran away, it makes it obvious that he's lying. Carly sticks up for Jack, saying that he's hurting inside after being forced out of his status as King and she wouldn't let Angela ask him anything of the sort. Jack appears and secretly watches over the girls argue. Angela asks Carly, what she's on about, this is their job as reporters. Carly spots Jack and looks past Angela while she rants on how Carly said herself that she hates show-offs, who try to act cool all the time. Carly shakes her head, trying to signal Jack that this isn't true. Regardless , Jack turns and walks away. Carly shoves the drinks into Angela's hands and chases after him.

Yusei begins his turn and takes damage from "[[Speed Edge]]", putting Crow and him at 400 Life Points. Yusei Summons "[[Turbo Synchron (anime)|Turbo Synchron]]" and Crow activates "[[Level Retuner (anime)|Level Retuner]]" dropping the Level of "[[Blackwing Armor Master]]'s" [[Level]] to 5. With it the combined level of "Blackwing Armor Master" and "Turbo Synchron's" combined Level being 6, Yusei used both of them to [[Synchro Summon]] "[[Turbo Warrior (anime)|Turbo Warrior]]".

One of the Securities comments that it has only 2500 [[ATK]] and with "[[Gate Defender]]", it can't attack. But Yusei informs them that "Turbo Warrior" is unaffected by the effects of Level 6 or lower monsters. Crow then plays "[[Ebon Arrow (anime)|Ebon Arrow]]", dropping the ATK of "Turbo Warrior's" ATK to 2000 in exchange for giving it the [[Piercing]] ability and the effect to inflict damage equal to the Original [[DEF]] of a monster it destroys by battle.

Yusei declares an attack on "[[Gate Blocker 2]]" with "Turbo Warrior". The Securities laugh, that he's going to harm himself, since the DEF of "Gate Blocker 2's" DEF is at 6000. Crow invites them to look at its DEF again. Both Securities are shocked to see it at 0. Crow then explains that the spike "Armored WingBlackwing Armor Master" drove into "Gate Blocker 2" earlier was a [[Wedge Counter]]. After removing the Wedge Counter, the DEF of "Gate Blocker 2's" DEF had dropped to 0. "Turbo Warrior" continues its ATK and inflicts 2000 Piercing damage and the other effect of "[[Ebon Arrow]]'s" other effect inflicts 2000 damage, dropping the Securities ' Life Points to 0.

On the balcony at the top of the tower, Jack stands and looks over across the city at the sea. Mina and Trudge peer around a corner at him. Trudge asks if they should speak to him. Mina prepares to walk over to Jack, but is beaten to this, by Carly, who appears and runs over to Jack.
