'''"For Synchro's Sake"''', known as '''"The Road of Ruin! The Future Favored by Synchro Summon"''' in the Japanese version, is the one hundred thirty fourth episode of [[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]].
{{Episode summary|[[Crow Hogan|Crow]] manages to [[Summon]] "[[Black-Winged Dragon]]" to aid [[Yusei Fudo|Yusei]] against [[Jakob]]. With thoughts of Crow inside his heart, Yusei Summons "[[Shooting Star Dragon]]", and fights hard against "[[Machine Meklord Emperor Grannel InfinityGranel]]". However, Jakob shows him the image of [[New Domino City]] in the future, which has become a desolate wasteland, with tablets of former [[Synchro Monsters]] scattered all over the place. Jakob shows Team 5D's memories of Lester, Primo and Jakob's past during the destruction of [[New Domino City]] by a massive army of [[Machine Meklord Emperors]], claiming that this is the future that results from [[Synchro Summon]]ing. Though he receives a severe shock from it, Yusei, determined to stop the vision from becoming real, continues the [[Duel]].}}
==Summary==
[[Bruno]] and [[Akiza Izinski|Akiza]] give Yusei some encouragement before he leaves. Yusei nods and asks them to take care of [[Jack Atlas|Jack]] and Crow. With [[Team 5D's]] down to their last duelist, the [[MC (Master of Ceremonies)|MC]] says that the [[World Racing Grand Prix]] final is reaching its climax.
Jakob doesn't know why Crow left Yusei his Synchro Monster. He says that since it's a Synchro Monster it will just become food for "[[Machine Meklord Emperor Grannel InfinityGranel]]" and Yusei will be sent to Hell. [[Lester]] mocks Crow's move, calling it foolish, but [[Primo]] advises Jakob to ignore him and focus on Yusei. He feels Yusei is the real threat, although Lester thinks he's overestimating him.
At Team 5D's station, Akiza asks why Crow Summoned "Black-Winged Dragon". Bruno isn't sure after what happened to "[[Red Nova Dragon]]". He worries that if "Black-Winged Dragon" is likewise absorbed by a "[[Machine Meklord Emperor]]", it will all be over.

* Jakob: 5 SPC
Jakob [[attack]]s "[[Black-Winged Dragon]]" with "[[Machine Meklord Emperor Grannel InfinityGranel]]", aiming to use "[[Grannel Attack]]'s" effect, but Yusei activates the effect of "Wave Wall", [[negate|negating]] the attack.
Jakob activates his face-down "[[Attack Cannon]]", sending "[[Grannel Attack]]" to the [[Graveyard]] to [[destroy]] "Black-Winged Dragon". Yusei then activates Crow's "[[Shadow Impulse]]", Special Summoning "[[Stardust Dragon]]" ([[ATK]]: 0).
Yusei activates the effect of "Shooting Star Dragon", checking the top 5 cards of his Deck. They are "[[Drill Synchron]]", "[[Debris Dragon]]", "[[Nitro Synchron]]", "[[Quickdraw Synchron]]", and "[[Effect Veiler]]". This means "Shooting Star Dragon" can attack 5 times this turn.
Yusei attacks "Grannel Attack 3", but Jakob uses the effect of "[[Grannel Guard]]" to redirect the attack to the absorbed "[[Red Nova Dragon]]" (ATK: 3500). Yusei activates his face-down "[[Synchro Striker Unit]]" raising the ATK of "Shooting Star Dragon" by 1000 (ATK: 4300). Jakob uses the effect of "[[Grannel Carrier]]" to prevent "Red Nova Dragon" from being destroyed (Jakob: 11200 Life Points, "Machine Meklord Emperor GrannelGranel": 14700 ATK).
Yusei attacks "Red Nova Dragon" again, this time destroying it (Jakob: 10400 Life Points, "Machine Emperor Grannel": 10400 ATK).
Yusei attacks "[[Grannel Top]]", destroying it (Jakob: 4100 Life Points, "Machine Emperor Grannel": 4100 ATK).
Yusei's attacks "[[Machine Meklord Emperor Grannel InfinityGranel]]", destroying it along with "Grannel Guard" and "Grannel Carrier" (Jakob: 3900 Life Points).
Yusei Sets 2 cards and ends his turn.
