With Kite believing Yuya and the others to be members of Duel Academy, Sylvio rushes in to duel against him with Gong shortly joining him. As Gong and Sylvio clash with each other over how to go about the duel, Yuya recognizes Kite through his link with Yuto, who reveals that Kite's dueling has lost the kindness it once has and now replaces it with only anger. Despite Sylvio and Gong's attempts to stop him, Kite summons his ace monster, Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon, and wins the duel. Afterwards, Yuya steps in to duel against him.
