As Playmaker and Revolver rode off the Data Wind to commence the Speed Duel, Playmaker expressed his desire to battle the Knights of Hanoi and uncover their true identities. Revolver replied that he didn't care about his opinion and stated that his only goal was to retrieve Ai. Both sides agreed on several conditions for their Duel: if Playmaker won, Ai would eat the program from Revolver to get Aoi's body back, while if Playmaker lost, he would give Ai to Revolver. After that, Revolver declared his hatred for AIs and his belief that Ai would lead everyone to destruction. Revolver also blamed Playmaker for assisting Ai and swore to eliminate him. Revolver then waved his hand, causing the LINK VRAINS to be crushed and replaced with lava rivers and fiery lakes, as the Duel finally began.<ref name="ep9">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|9|ref}}</ref>
As the Speed Duel progressed, Playmaker defeated Revolver's "Cracking Dragon" with "Decode Talker" once more, until Revolver revealed that he had the very same skill as Playmaker's and Ai's: "Storm Access". With it, Revolver summoned "[[Topologic Bomber Dragon (anime)|Topologic Bomber Dragon]]", and began to gain the upper hand.<ref name="ep9" /> Fearing they might lose, Ai led Playmaker to another Data Storm, where the two obtained [[Firewall Dragon (anime)|a dragon]]. However, Revolver activated the Trap Card, "[[Remote Rebirth (anime)|Remote Rebirth]]", and combo-ed it with the effect of "Topologic Bomber Dragon", ending the Speed Duel in a [[DRAW]]. Following that, Revolver dragged Playmaker and Ai inside a Data Storm, where they began a [[Master Duel]]. As the Duel went on, Revolver activated the effect of "[[Fire Prison (anime)|Fire Prison]]", eliminating all [[Cyberse]] cards from the field, as well as making Ai seemingly vanish into thin air.<ref name="ep10">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|10|ref}}</ref>
As the Master Duel progressed, Revolver gained the upper hand once more by summoning "[[Borreload Dragon (anime)|Borreload Dragon]]" and attacked Playmaker directly. Just as Playmaker was on the verge of giving up, he remembered the words someone told him long ago: having three reasons to live and win Duels. Playmaker then called out to Ai, asking him to lend him his power, as he proceeded to [[Link Summon]] [[Firewall Dragon (anime)|Firewall Dragon]], and ultimately destroyed "Fire Prison," as well as return Ai to consciousness. Ai was amazed to see the two dragons, until Revolver used the effect of "Borreload Dragon" to take control of "Firewall Dragon".
===Ai===
Ai sees Yusaku as a partner, but Yusaku considers Ai to be nothing more than an object he needs to gain the upper hand against the Knights of Hanoi. He threatened to delete Ai in order to challenge a Knight, and ignored his pleas not to go back to VRAINS. Yusaku has little patience for Ai's antics and often doesn't let him talk. Nevertheless, Ai supports Yusaku in his Duels, though he claims to do so out of a desire for survival. Ai also seems to enjoy teasing Yusaku, but knows when things get serious. Likewise, Yusaku follows Ai's advice when needed. Despite being rude to Ai most of the time Yusaku slowly grows to genuinely care about him; this was seen when Ai was deleted by [[Revolver]]'s "[[Fire Prison (anime)|Fire Prison]]" and he showed legitimate concern for him, showing that despite the rockiness of their relationship, Yusaku does view Ai as a friend and ally. He was also happy when Ai returned to his Duel Disk and playfully teased him for coming back to hostage.
