{{Episode summary|[[Crow Hogan|Crow]] manages to [[Summon]] "[[Black-Winged Dragon (later anime)|Black-Winged Dragon]]" to aid [[Yusei Fudo|Yusei]] against [[Jakob]]. With thoughts of Crow inside his heart, Yusei Summons "[[Shooting Star Dragon (anime)|Shooting Star Dragon]]", and fights hard against "[[Meklord Emperor Granel (anime)|Meklord Emperor Granel]]". 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 [[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]].}}

[[Crow Hogan|Crow]] has just [[Synchro Summon]]ed "[[Black-Winged Dragon (later anime)|Black-Winged Dragon]]" and lost to Jakob, who is surprised that someone would sacrifice themself to Summon a Synchro Monster. Crow explains the loss was for the sake of the team. He and his friends aren't selfish like Jakob had thought humans were, Crow says, and they share thoughts and fight as one; That is what they call bonds. Crow exits the circuit, leaving the rest to [[Yusei Fudo|Yusei]].

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 "[[Meklord Emperor Granel (anime)|Black-Winged DragonMeklord Emperor Granel]]" 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.

Jakob begins his turn and both players SPC rises to 5. He plans to feed "Black-Winged Dragon" into "Granel", who already has 15500 [[ATK]]. Bruno worries that if "Granel" inflicts its [[Piercing]] damage, Yusei will lose. "Granel" [[attack]]s "Black-Winged Dragon", but Yusei activates the effect of "[[Wave Wall]]". Since he controls a Synchro Monster, he is able to [[negate]] the attack. Team 5D's get excited. Since "Granel" is five monsters being treated as one, it can only attack once and Yusei is able to negate one attack per turn. Lester says that it's not bad and Primo expected at least that much from Yusei.

Since his "Meklord Emperor" monster didn't destroy the monster it attacked by battle, Jakob activates "[[Attack Cannon]]" [[Tribute|Releasing]] "[[Granel Attack (anime)|Granel Attack]]" to [[destroy]] "[[Black-Winged Dragon (anime)|Black-Winged Dragon]]". Yusei tells Crow that he can rest at ease and activates "[[Shadow Impulse (anime)|Shadow Impulse]]", which is another card Crow left on the field for him. He is able to Summon a Synchro Monster from his [[Extra Deck]] with the same [[Level]] and [[Type]] as the Synchro Monster just destroyed, but its ATK becomes 0 and its effects are negated. He chooses "[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon]]". Team 5D's cheer and Bruno suspects that Yusei is going to evolve it into "[[Shooting Star Dragon (anime)|Shooting Star Dragon]]".

Jakob revives the left arm of "Granel" in a more powerful form, by Summoning "[[Grannel Granel Attack 3]]". Since he has 4 [[Speed Counter]]s, Jakob activates "[[Speed Spell - Silent Burn]]" which inflicts 300 damage to his opponent for each of his monsters that didn't attack. He inflicts 1200 damage to Yusei, telling him to feel the power of an elephant. Yusei swerves for a moment and regains control with his Life Points down to 2800. Had Yusei crashed there, Jakob says that he would have spared himself further pain that awaits him. Jakob Sets 1 card in his [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]] and ends his turn.

This time the city is brighter and in working order. There are a number of floating structures above the city. A number of [[Turbo Duel]]ists and shown on a road all Synchro Summoning. In an arena for ground dueling, a hologram of a cowgirl holds up "[[Naturia Leodrake(anime)|Naturia Gaodrake]]", while other duelists all around her raise their Synchro Monsters too. Both the world and dueling have evolved and people became more obsessed with dueling, Jakob narrates. Synchro Summoning even became a symbol for this town, he says and [[Duel Academy (New Domino)|Duel Academy]] is shown, where a teacher is explaining Synchro Summoning by pointing to a projection showing "[[Plaguespreader Zombie (anime)|Plaguespreader Zombie]]" and "[[Marauding Captain (anime)|Marauding Captain]]" being used to Synchro Summon "[[Ally of Justice Catastor (anime)|Ally of Justice Catastor]]". At this time, [[Duel Runner]]s and Synchro Summons grew rapidly, both of which were linked with [[Ener-D]]. The Ener-D's rotation speed continually increased as the world evolved, but the evolution was too quick.

Using its "[[Attack names|Stardust Mirage]]" attack "Shooting Star Dragon" attacks "Granel Attack 3", but Jakob uses the effect of "[[Granel Guard]]" to redirect the attack to the equipped "[[Red Nova Dragon (anime)|Red Nova Dragon]]". "Red Nova Dragon" has 3500 ATK, while "Shooting Star Dragon" has only 3300, but Yusei uses "[[Synchro Striker Unit]]" to raise it to 4300. Due to the effect of "[[Granel Carrier (anime)|Granel Carrier]]", Jakob is able to prevent "Red Nova Dragon" from being destroyed once. But Jakob still takes damage, so his Life Points are lowered to 11200 and the ATK of "Meklord Emperor Granel" becomes 14700. "Shooting Star Dragon" attacks "Red Nova Dragon" a second time, destroying it. Both Jakob's Life Points and the ATK of "Granel" are at 10400 now. "Shooting Star Dragon" proceeds to attack "Granel Attack 3", "[[Granel Top (anime)|Granel Top]]", dropping Jakob's Life Points to 7900 and 4100 respectively. Finally "Shooting Star Dragon" attacks "Meklord Emperor Granel Infinity", destroying it along with "Granel Guard" and "Granel Carrier", leaving Jakob with 3900 Life Points.

Yusei's hand contains "Wave Wall", "[[Synchro Striker Unit]]", "[[Scrap-Iron Scarecrow (later anime)|Scrap-Iron Scarecrow]]", "[[Wild Wasteland Tornado]]", and "[[Salvagent]]". Yusei draws. During the Standby Phase, the effect of "[[Speed World 2 (anime)|Speed World 2]]" activates (Yusei's SPC: 3 → 4; Jakob's SPC: 3 → 4). He then [[Normal Summon]]s {{Monster|"[[Wave Wall}} ]]" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]4/0/2000) in Defense Position and [[Set]]s two cards.

Jakob draws. During the Standby Phase, the effect of "[[Speed World 2]]" activates (Yusei's SPC: 4 → 5; Jakob's SPC: 4 → 5). "[[Meklord Emperor Granel (anime)|Meklord Emperor Granel]]" [[attack]]s "[[Black-Winged Dragon (later anime)|Black-Winged Dragon]]". Jakob intends to activate the effect of "[[Granel Attack (anime)|Granel Attack]]" to equip "Black-Winged Dragon" to "Meklord Emperor Granel" once "Black-Winged Dragon" is destroyed in battle, but Yusei activates the effect of "Wave Wall" to [[negate]] the attack.

Jakob activates his face-down "[[Attack Cannon]]" to send "[[Granel Attack]]" to the [[Graveyard]] and [[destroy]] "Black-Winged Dragon". Yusei then activates his face-down "[[Shadow Impulse (anime)|Shadow Impulse]]" to Special Summon {{Monster"[[Stardust Dragon (anime)|Stardust Dragon|pre=]]" in Attack Position with its ATK 0 and its effects negated([[File:CG Star.svg|atk=ATK-16px]]8/2500}}→ 0/2000). Jakob Normal Summons {{Monster|"[[Granel Attack 3}} ]]" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]3/1800/0) in Attack Position. He then activates "[[Speed Spell - Silent Burn]]" to inflict 1200 damage to Yusei (300 damage for each monster Jakob controls that didn't attack this turn) (Yusei 4000 → 2800). Jakob Sets a card.

Yusei's hand contains "Scrap-Iron Scarecrow", "Wild Wasteland Tornado", and "[[Salvagent]]". Yusei draws "[[Mono Synchron (anime)|Mono Synchron]]". During the Standby Phase, the effect of "[[Speed World 2]]" activates (Yusei's SPC: 5 → 6; Jakob's SPC: 5 → 6). Yusei Normal Summons {{Monster"[[Mono Synchron (anime)|Mono Synchron}} ]]" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]1/0/0) in Attack Position. Yusei then tunes "Wave Wall" with "Mono Synchron" in order to perform a [[Synchro Summon]]. Yusei then activates the effect of "Mono Synchron" to make the Level of "Wave Wall" 1 ("Wave Wall": [[File:CG Star.svg|16px]] 4 → 1). Yusei then tunes his two monsters together in order to Synchro Summon {{Monster"[[Formula Synchron (anime)|Formula Synchron}} ]]" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]2/200/1500) in Attack Position.

Yusei then tunes "Stardust Dragon" with "Formula Synchron" in order to [[Accel Synchro Summon]] {{Monster"[[Shooting Star Dragon (anime)|Shooting Star Dragon}} ]]" ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]10/3300/2500) in Attack Position. Yusei activates the first effect of "Shooting Star Dragon" to [[Excavate|excavate]] reveal the top five cards of his Deck and allow "Shooting Star Dragon" one attack for each Tuner Monster he excavatesfinds. Yusei excavates finds "[[Drill Synchron (anime)|Drill Synchron]]", "[[Debris Dragon (anime)|Debris Dragon]]", "[[Nitro Synchron (anime)|Nitro Synchron]]", "[[Quickdraw Synchron (anime)|Quickdraw Synchron]]" , and "[[Effect Veiler (anime)|Effect Veiler]]", so "Shooting Star Dragon" can attack five times this turn.

"Shooting Star Dragon" attacks "Granel Attack 3", but Jakob uses the effect of "[[Granel Guard (anime)|Granel Guard]]" to treat {{Monster"[[Red Nova Dragon (anime)|Red Nova Dragon|pre=]]" as an Attack Position monster in his Spell & Trap Card Zone}} ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]10/3500/3000) and redirect the attack to it instead. Yusei activates his face-down "[[Synchro Striker Unit]]", equipping it to "Shooting Star Dragon" and increasing the ATK of "Shooting Star Dragon" by 1000 ("Shooting Star Dragon": 3300 → 4300/2500). Jakob uses the effect of "[[Granel Carrier (anime)|Granel Carrier]]" to prevent "Red Nova Dragon" from being destroyed (Jakob 12000 → 11200) ("Meklord Emperor Granel": 15500 → 14700/0). "Red Nova Dragon" then becomes an Equip Card again.

"Shooting Star Dragon" attacks "Granel Attack 3" again, but Jakob uses the effect of "[[Granel Guard]]" to treat {{Monster|"Red Nova Dragon|pre=" as an Attack Position monster in his Spell & Trap Card Zone}} ([[File:CG Star.svg|16px]]10/3500/3000) and redirect the attack to it instead. and redirect the attack to it instead. "Shooting Star Dragon" destroys "Red Nova Dragon" (Jakob 11200 → 10400) ("Meklord Emperor Granel": 14700 → 10400/0).

"Shooting Star Dragon" attacks and destroys "Granel Attack 3" and "[[Granel Top (anime)|Granel Top]]" (Jakob 10400 → 7900 → 4100) ("Meklord Emperor Granel": 10400 → 7900 → 4100/0). "Shooting Star Dragon" attacks and destroys "[[Meklord Emperor Granel (anime)|Meklord Emperor Granel]]" (Jakob 4100 → 3900). Since "Meklord Emperor Granel" is no longer on the field, "[[Granel Guard]]" and "[[Granel Carrier]]" are destroyed. Yusei Sets two cards. On Yusei's [[End Phase]], "Shooting Star Dragon" loses 800 ATK due to the last effect of "Synchro Striker Unit" ("Shooting Star Dragon": 4300 → 3500/2500). At this point Jakob, [[Lester]], and [[Primo]] merge together to form [[Aporia]].

* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Episode 135#Featured Duels|Continued next episode...]]'' ==Differences in adaptations==* Scenes of [[Aporia]]'s parents getting blown up and killed by [[Meklord Emperor Granel]] are cut in the English dub. * A hologram of a woman has her stomach and cleavage covered. * In the scenes of [[Aporia]] along with his [[Eurea|girlfriend]], their weapons are edited for more toyish/futuristic apperances. * In the English version, When Yusei is reminded of the teams they defeated in the WRGP, [[Team Taiyo]]'s members are shown, despite them not appearing in the dub at all nor being mentioned. [[Team Ragnarok]] isn't shown, although they were the main WRGP Rivals and had the most connection to Team 5D's. * Again, like the previous episodes that featured [[Shooting Star Dragon]] the song [[Clear Mind (song)]] is replaced by standard music provided by the dub. ==Mistakes==* When Yusei activates "[[Synchro Striker Unit]]" in the Japanese version, he calls it a [[Continuous Trap Card]]. Although there is no icon on the card, making it a [[Normal Trap Card]]. * The "[[Shadow Impulse (anime)|Shadow Impulse]]" card explanation added to the English version includes "[[Crimson Mefist]]", which is not the same [[Type]] as "[[Black-Winged Dragon (later anime)|Black-Winged Dragon]]". * In the English version, after the first attack from "[[Shooting Star Dragon (anime)|Shooting Star Dragon]]", the ATK of "[[Meklord Emperor Granel (anime)|Meklord Emperor Granel]]" is shown to decrease from 15,000 instead of 15,500.
