Following Yuya's defeat, Zuzu attempts to come to his aid. Zuzu is stopped when she and Yugo are taken into custody by the High Council's guards, who prevent Roget's Sector Security from capturing them. The next morning, Yuya awakens in a penthouse, where all the participants are locked up. Yuya senses a reaction from Odd Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Yuto's Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon that Yugo's Clear Wing Synchro Dragon is nearby. As Yuya laments how Jack looked down upon his Dueltainment, he receives a card from one of the attendants, Sam. Sam believes Jack turned his back on the Commons after becoming the Master of Faster and insulted him by likening him to the weak monster card. With the tournament underway, Gong is set to duel against Crow in the opening match.
