The man who died (disappeared into the Netherworld in the English dub) was [[Robert Pearson]], a man whom [[Crow]] was indebted to, leading [[Mina]] and [[Trudge]], who are in charge of the investigation, to question Crow. Trudge and Mina say they heard the criminal used a card called "[[Crimson Mefist (anime)|Crimson Mefist]]", and hand Crow a photograph of the card, but Crow says he had never heard of the card. The search for the criminal starts, leading him to visit [[Bolton]], an old friend of Crow who had worked with Pearson. At first, Bolton tries to avoid the subject of Pearson's death (disappearance in the dub) but when he realizes that Crow won't give up until he finds the criminal, Bolton agrees to tell him who it is if Crow beats him in a duel. However, if Bolton wins, Crow will have to give Bolton "[[Black-Winged Dragon (anime)|Black-Winged Dragon]]".

During the Standby Phase, the effect of "[[Speed World 2 (anime)|Speed World 2]]" activates (Bolton's SPC: 0 → 1; Crow's SPC: 0 → 1). Since Bolton controls monsters and Crow doesn't, he Normal Summons "[[Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn (later anime)|Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn]]" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]5/2000/900) in Attack Position without Tributing. Since Crow controls a Blackwing monster, he [[Special Summon]]s "[[Blackwing - Bora the Spear (anime)|Blackwing - Bora the Spear]]" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]4/1700/800) in Attack Position. Crow's hand contains "[[Speed Spell - Angel Baton (anime)|Speed Spell - Angel Baton]]", "[[Blackwing - Mistral the Silver Shield (anime)|Blackwing - Mistral the Silver Shield]]", "[[Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame (anime)|Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame]]", and ends "[[Blackwing - Kochi the Daybreak (anime)|Blackwing - Kochi the Daybreak]]". Crow [[activate]]s the effect of "Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn" to increase the [[ATK]] of "Blackwing - Bora the Spear" by the ATK of every "[[Blackwing]]" [[monster]] on the [[field]] except itself ("Blackwing - Bora the Spear": 1700 → 3700/800) until the End Phase, but Bolton activates his face-down "[[turnWhiteout]]" to negate the effects of any monster Crow controls if it targets a card in Crow's hand, Graveyard, or field ("Blackwing - Bora the Spear": 3700 → 1700/800).

<u>'''Crow's turnTurn 3: Bolton'''</u><br />Bolton draws. During the Standby Phase, the effect of "Speed World 2" activates (Bolton's SPC : 1→ 2; Crow's SPC : 1→ 2)[[Crow]] draws.

Bolton activates "[[Whiteout]]"Now during each End Phase, which negates the effects of any both players will take 400 damage for every monster Crow controls if it targets a card in Crow's hand, Graveyard, or field. Because of this, the ATK of "Bora the Spear" goes back that was destroyed and sent to normal ("[[Blackwing - Bora the Spear]]": 3700 → 1700/800). Crow ends his [[Graveyard that turn]].

Duel already in progress. Bolton controls "[[White Warrior - Hail the Iron Hammer]]" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]4/1800/1600) in Attack Position while Pearson controls "Blackwing - Bora the Spear" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]4/1700/800), "[[Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind (anime)|Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind]]" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]3/1300/400), "[[Blackwing - Fane the Steel Chain (anime)|Blackwing - Fane the Steel Chain]]" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]2/500/800), "[[Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame (anime)|Blackwing - Shura the Blue Flame]]" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]4/1800/1200), and "[[Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn (later anime)|Blackwing - Sirocco the Dawn]]" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]5/2000/900) in Attack Position as well as a set card.

Pearson [[Synchro Summon]]s "[[Black-Winged Dragon (anime)|Black-Winged Dragon]]" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]2800/1600) in Attack Position. "Black-Winged Dragon" attacks both opponents directly through an unknown effect (Opponent 1 2050 → 0 Life Points) (; Opponent 2 1350 → 0 Life Points).

* In both versions, "[[Crimson Mefist (anime)|Crimson Mefist]]" could deal real damage to players. In the original, the card's damage sent Pearson flying into a lantern, which started a fire. In the dub, it was instead stated that the card could send people to the Netherworld.

* A close-up of Crow's face after getting hit by the effect of Bolton's "[[Sacred Arrow]] " is cut.* The cry of "[[Black-Winged Dragon (anime)|Black-Winged Dragon]] " is toned down a bit.
