| EPISODE SUMMARY - PART 1 | ||||
Yusei is now riding along on a highway, getting chased by the Diablo. Each has Ally Bomb on the field, and they are all ready to attack him. Yusei is speeding up and trying to get away from it. An Ally Bomb hits him, making his LP drops to 2000 (2400-400). Yusei looks back and sees many Ghosts and Ally Bombs chasing him closer. He is worried that he will be finished off if he takes a direct attack from all of the remaining Ally Bombs.
Meanwhile, Bruno is riding on a nearby highway following Yusei and seeing that Yusei is currently in trouble. He is concerned by that if this goes on, Yusei will be ended. Bruno looks upset and wonders whether there is nothing he can help Yusei. Suddenly, an inner voice flows into his brain, saying that Bruno can save Yusei so. The voice also tells him to remember his mission. Bruno looks up and recalls a mysterious object and eye sight he saw in another dimension (episode 93). Digital data run through his brain and pop up on his eyes. Bruno recalls that his mission is to save Yusei no matter what happens. He jumps off the highway and rides along the sea road. Bruno jumps into the shore, leaves his bike, flies into the sky, and lands safely on sand. "Come on, Delta Eagle!," Bruno says. Digital signal appears on his eyes as if an order is input. Suddenly, something erupts in the middle of the sea not too far from the shore. A D-Wheel is running out from the eruption area, moving along sea surface toward Bruno at the shore. On the other side, Ghosts are getting very close to catch Yusei up. One of them say that Yusei can no longer get away from them. There is no way else to escape. A Ghost then calls for a turn.
Meanwhile, Bruno is riding Delta Eagle and chasing up Yusei and the Diablo on the highway. His eyes glow before his uniform is transformed into a riding suit. His helmet has a glass eye shield. It's clear that Bruno's identity is truly Dark Glass, a D-Wheeler who used to duel Yusei and introduced him Accel Synchro (episode 74). Bruno asks Yusei to wait for him as he is coming now. All Ghosts tell Yusei to die. Yusei looks in the sky, and an Ally Bomb is about to fall down and hit him. Bruno finally reaches him, calling Yusei all the way. Yusei sees and remembers Dark Glass from the prior duel (episode 74) but he can't recognize that he is Bruno. Bruno now has [Tech Genus Blade Gunner MAXX-10000 ~ TG (Tech Genus) Blade Gunner MAXX-10000 - 10/3300/2200: This card can be Synchro Summoned during your opponent's turn. You can discard 1 card to the Graveyard to negate the activation of an opponent's Spell or Trap Card and destroy it. Once per turn, during your opponent's turn, you can remove from play this card. If this card is removed from play this way, it is returned to your side of the field during your opponent's End Phase. If this card is destroyed by battle and the monsters used in its Synchro Summon are in your Graveyard, you can Special Summon them] on the field.
He equips [Buster Shotman - 1/0/0: Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can equip this card to a Machine-Type monster you control as an Equip Card, OR unequip it to Special Summon this card in face-up Attack Position. While equipped to a monster by this effect, the equipped monster loses 500 ATK and DEF. When the equipped monster destroys an opponent's monster by battle, destroy all monsters your opponent controls with the same Type as the destroyed monster. (A monster can only be equipped with 1 Union Monster at a time. If the equipped monster would be destroyed by battle, destroy this card instead)] on hand with Tech Genus Blade Gunner MAXX-10000. Buster Shotman is a union monster. It transforms into a shotgun for Tech Genus Blade Gunner MAXX-10000. Bruno explains that Blade Gunner decreases ATK of the equipped monster by 500. Tech Genus Blade Gunner MAXX-10000's ATK thus drops to 2800 (3300-500). However, if the equipped monster can destroy a monster by battle, all monsters with the same type of the destroyed monster on the opponent's field must be destroyed. Bruno calls for a fire, "Buster Shot!." All monsters on Ghosts' field are Ally Bomb, so all of them are destroyed together. The fire also wipes out all Ghosts chasing Yusei. When the path is open, Bruno speeds up to catch up with Yusei. Before Yusei is going to ask anything, Bruno tells him to accelerate. As long as Yusei's speed can't break his limit, he can't shake off Ghosts. Bruno tells Yusei to follow him by slip stream before he speeds up. Yusei feels such a pressure in the wind but tries to chase him. Placido is watching over Yusei and Bruno from the top of a building. Both of them are passing the building where he is standing on. Placido wonders whether Yusei wants to get into his way again. If that's the case, he decides to take an action by himself. A infinity sign glows on an equipment on his right eye. Placido jumps down from the top of the building. His covering cloths shatter in the mid air, revealing his whole identity of a man with a gray hair. Placido decides to be Yusei's opponent at this time. A helmet is put on his head before he lands onto a D-Wheel that flies in the air to get him. He accelerates and tries to chase after Yusei.
Bruno is currently leading Yusei in such a credible speed while Yusei is struggling to chase after him. They finally realize that someone is catching them up at this high speed. Placido says that Yusei got into his way too much like a mere worm poking his nose into others' business. He thus will crush him down by Machine Emperor. Hearing those lines about Machine Emperor, Yusei doubts whether this guy is the leader controlling the army of Ghosts. Placido asks what Yusei will do if he is. Yusei asks back why Placido had to do this. Placido says that a human like Yusei can't understand his thought. A mere worm like him that only crawls on the ground had better run around and tremble in fear. Yusei looks confused and doesn't understand what Placido is talking. Placido points his finger to Yusei and says that he will bury him by himself. He hopes Yusei will feel grateful for it. Yusei is concerned by that his LP is barely left. It isn't good to accept Placido's challenge and duel him now. Bruno speeds down, hits Placido's D-Wheel, and makes him out of their way. He tells Yusei that, to get away from this crisis, Yusei has to break his limit and discover Accel Synchro. In order to do so, Yusei has to sharpen his heart. Bruno guides him that Mormetn residing in D-Wheel isn't mere system energy. Planetary Particles used in Mormetn is living energy based on hearts of humans. Yusei looks very stunned when he knows that there is connection between Planetary Particles and humans' hearts.
Bruno further explains that Dr. Fudo and Rudger Godwin who invented Mormetn were aware of this fact well. People's hearts are easy to change. This power has been used in both good and bad ways since ancient times. The good side is the Crimson Dragon or the 5 Signers who hold its birthmarks. The bad side is the wicked gods including Rudger taken control by darkness. Anyway, there is a state where hearts of people can control Mormetn. That state is called [Clear Mind]. It's time for Yusei to acquire it now. Yusei looks uncertain that he can have such a thing. Bruno believes that Yusei can do so. The way to discover Accel Synchro has already been in him. Yusei just needs to feel the wind. Yusei looks up and sees the strong wind blowing to him at this fast speed. He is now riding alone inside the wind. Since he fought Ghost, he has kept running hard. Even so, he still couldn't find a method of Accel Synchro. Yusei really doubts why he still couldn't figure it out. In the strong wind, a shadow of Machine Emperor Wisel appears in front of him. Yusei's grip is looser once he sees it. By this, Yusei has figured out that his failure is because his heart still has fear in Machine Emperor. A state to overcome that fear in his heart which lies in this wind.
Yusei speeds up into the wind and starts to feel it. He accelerates, and his speed makes the shadow of Machine Emperor Wisel vanish. Everything around him along with himself begins to fade away. Yusei later finds himself floating in a different light dimension. He sees very bright light in a shape of a winged monster in front of him, looking very astonished. Meanwhile, Placido earlier hit by Bruno speeds up, tries to catch up Yusei and to force him into a duel. An appearance of the winged monster becomes clearer before Yusei's eyes. It is a new shape of Stardust Dragon. Yusei tells himself that he has already seen it. It's something that can be seen only in this speed and at this state of clear mind. Outside the earth, a stone tablet is flying and falling down like a meteor. It looks like a shooting star falling and passing Neo Domino City. Yusei accelerating at clear-mind state finally vanishes from the highway before Placido's and Bruno's eyes. Bruno notices a shooting star in the sky, realizing that Yusei has finally discovered it. Placido looks confused and doesn't understand where Yusei is gone. Bruno tells Placido that Yusei has just figured out a new possibility. He thus will become Placido's opponent for this time being. Placido seems to recognize Bruno as they have fought before.
In the mid of a night, Placido and Bruno were battling on a road along the sea. Placido asked Bruno what he did when he dueled Yusei (episode 74). Bruno asked back whether Placido was scared of him. It should be because he was sent to this world to defeat Placido and his group. Placido looked stunned after hearing so. Bruno said that, to break their ambition to this world, he would show his Accel Synchro. Placido still looked confused as speeding up. In the mid of the road, there was a little cat in their way. It's the same cat that Bruno earlier found at the shore (episode 103). Placido didn't seem to care and was about to hit it. Bruno tried to save the cat by hitting Placido's D-Wheel out of its way. The cat was saved, but Bruno went out of the course and fell into the sea. Placido was safe and thought that Bruno had been dead since then. Seeing Bruno safe in front of him now, Placido asks directly who Bruno is and why he knows about their group. Bruno just says that he has no name for the one who is going to vanish. It's an answer that tastes Placido. He decides to have Bruno split it out by force. After finishing their conversation, both declare a duel.

| EPISODE SUMMARY - PART 2 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Yusei is now traveling in light, passing through another dimension. He finally leaves the light and appears in a desert area outside the city. There is a big crater caused by the earlier falling meteor. Yusei climbs to the top of the crater and sees a stone tablet in the mid of it. There is a carved picture of a dragon on the stone. Jose and Luciano are meanwhile watching over Yusei's movement from their thrones. Jose is surprised by that the fallen stone tablet doesn't belong to them or come for them. Luciano doesn't understand why the stone tablet is entrusted to Yusei.
Jose doubts whether Yusei can also hear the voice of god as they do. Luciano doesn't want to believe it as this means Yusei is the same as them. It looks impossible for him. Yusei is currently walking into the stone tablet. He stops in front of it and takes a look at the picture. The picture of the monster on the stone tablet is what was earlier shown to him in the path of light. Yusei decides to touch the stone tablet and is suddenly pulled into a portal that leads him to another white dimension.
Yusei remembers that he has been here before (episode 93). A mysteriously living object is floating in the middle of the dimension and its eye is looking toward Yusei. Yusei asks directly who he is. "Yusei, you have already got a new possibility in hand, " the mysterious voice says. Yusei looks stunned before noticing a card in his hand. "That is the state of Clear Mind, a card with possibility of Accel Synchro. You have a right to take it. All possibilities are equal, " the mysterious voice explains.
Yusei still looks confused and asks whether the owner of the voice knows him. The mysterious voice just tells him to believe in what he thinks is right. "If you do so, someday...," the mysterious voice finishes without complete lines. It then fades away along with the floating object. Yusei tries to follow it, but he ends up leaving the different dimension and reappearing in the mid of the crater. Yusei is now standing at the top of the crater, looking at Neo Domino City covered by dark cloud and black smoke due to several crashes. He thinks about the right path the mysterious voice told him to believe in. That path for him now is to save this city. Yusei looks at the card on his hand. It is a white card, which represents a synchro monster. Its picture and content haven't been displayed yet. Yusei puts it into his deck box. On the highway, the duel between Placido and Bruno has just started. Placido asks to get the first turn, and Bruno is fine with it.
1st Turn - Placido
Bruno sees the monster with 0 DEF and wonders whether Placido is trying to drag him in. He knows that when Wise Core is destroyed, it has an ability to call Machine Emperor instantly. Placido smiles, making Bruno able to read through his plan. Bruno believes that Placido's set-up card should be a card to destroy Wise Core (If Bruno won't destroy Wise Core, Placido plans to destroy it by himself). 2nd turn - Bruno
The second turn comes to Bruno, and he draws a card. In his standby phase, 1 Speed Counter is added to both sides following the effect of Speed World 2. They result in 2 SPCs (1+1) evenly. Bruno special summons a tuner monster [Tech Genus Striker WA-01 ~ TG (Tech Genus) Striker WA-01 - 2/800/0: If your opponent controls a monster and you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. This card is also treated as a Machine-Type monster. When a Spell or Trap Card you control targets this card as a Machine-Type monster, halve this card's original ATK. When this card is destroyed, you can add 1 "Tech Genus Striker" from your Deck to your hand. You cannot use it this turn] to the field in attack position. This card can be special summoned when his opponent but he has a monster on the field. Next, Bruno special summons [Tech Genus Werewolf BW-03 ~ TG (Tech Genus) Warewolf BW-03 - 3/1200/0: When you successfully Special Summon a Level 4 or lower monster, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. This card is also treated as a Machine-Type monster. When a Spell or Trap Card you control targets this card as a Machine-Type monster, halve this card's original ATK and DEF. When this card is destroyed, you can add 1 "Tech Genus Werewolf" from your Deck to your hand. You cannot use it this turn] from his hand to the field in attack position. This card can be special summoned when a level 4 or lower monster, which is Tech Genus Striker WA-01, was special summoned to the field. Bruno tunes Tech Genus Striker WA-01 into Tech Genus Werewolf BW-03. "Synchro Side Control! Limiter Release level 5! Booster fill 120%! Recovery Network Range Correct! All Clear! Synchro Summon, come on, Tech Genus Power Gladiator!, " he says and synchro summons [Tech Genus Power Gladiator WAX-1000 ~ TG (Tech Genus) Power Gladiator WAX-1000 - 5/2300/1500: During battle between this attacking card and a Defense Position monster whose DEF is lower than the ATK of this card, inflict the difference as Battle Damage to your opponent. This card is also treated as a Machine-Type monster. When a Spell or Trap Card you control targets this card as a Machine-Type monster, halve this card's original ATK and DEF. When this card is destroyed, draw 1 card. That card cannot be used this turn] to the field in attack position.
Placido sees that Bruno's synchro summon is just an eyesore. Still in Bruno's first main phase, he normal summons [Tech Genus Rush Rhyno BE-04 ~ TG (Tech Genus) Rush Rhyno BE-04 - 4/1600/800: This card is also treated as a Machine-Type monster. When a Spell or Trap Card you control targets this card as a Machine-Type monster, halve this card's original ATK and DEF. When this card is destroyed, you can add 1 "Tech Genus Rush Rhino" from your Deck to your hand. You cannot use it this turn] to the field in attack position. He accepts to face the power of Machine Emperor.
Bruno decides to have Tech Genus Power Gladiator WAX-1000 attack Wise Core. At this moment, Placido opens his face-down trap card [Twin Vortex - Normal Trap: Activate only when your opponent declares an attack. 1 monster you control and 1 monster your opponent controls are destroyed]. According to its effect, when the opponent declares an attack, 1 monster on both sides must be destroyed. Thus, both Wise Core and Tech Genus Power Gladiator WAX-1000 are destroyed together. Bruno sees through Placido's goal by countering with Twin Vortex. If Placido hadn't activated it, only Wise Core would have been destroyed. However, an ability of Twin Vortex could destroy Bruno's monster along with it. Placido's original intention is to have Wise Core destroyed anyway, so having the opponent's monster destroyed along with it is a plus. Bruno activates a monster effect of Tech Genus Power Gladiator WAX-1000. When it is destroyed, he can draw 1 card. Placido activates a monster effect of Wise Core. When Wise Core is destroyed by a card's effect, all other monsters on his field must be destroyed and Machine Emperor and Wisel monsters can be special summoned from hand, deck, or graveyard. 5 monsters special summoned are listed as follow: [Machine Emperor Wisel Infinity ~ Kikoutei Wisel Infinity - 1/0/0: Monsters you control besides this monster cannot attack. This card gains ATK and DEF equal to the total ATK and DEF of all "Wisel", "Skiel" and "Granel" monsters you control. Once per turn, you can equip a Synchro Monster your opponent controls as an Equip Card to this card. This card gains ATK equal to the ATK of the equipped monster. When this card is destroyed, destroy all other monsters you control] is special summoned in attack position. [Wisel Top ~ Wise T (Top) - 1/500/0: Destroy this card if you do not control an "Infinity" monster] is special summoned in attack position. [Wisel Attack ~ Wise A (Attack) - 1/1200/0: Destroy this card if you do not control an "Infinity" monster] is special summoned in attack position. [Wisel Guard ~ Wise G (Guard) - 1/0/1200:Destroy this card if you do not control an "Infinity" monster. When an opponent's monster declares an attack, you can make this card become an attack target instead] is special summoned in defense position. [Wisel Carrier ~ Wise C (Carrier) - 1/800/600: Destroy this card if you do not control an "Infinity" monster. This card is not destroyed by the card effects of other cards] is special summoned in attack position. Wisel Trop, Wisel Attack, Wisel Guard, and Wisel Carrier are unioned into Machine Emperor Wisel Infinity, forming into a complete body with an infinity sign on its chest. The attack of Machine Emperor Wisel Infinity is equal to the total combined ATK of all monsters equipped with them or 2500 (500+1200+0+800). As Bruno has waited, Machine Emperor Wise Infinity finally appeared. It has 2500 ATK, so Tech Genus Rush Rhyno BE-04 with 1600 ATK certainly can't defeat it. Setting 2 face-down cards, Bruno ends his turn. 3rd turn - Placido
A turn is back to Placido, and he draws a card. In his standby phase, 1 Speed Counter is added to both sides following the effect of Speed World 2. They result in 2 SPCs (1+1) evenly. Placido quickly moves to battle phase, declaring an attack of Machine Emperor Wisel Infinity to destroy Tech Genus Rush Rhyno BE-04 successfully. This strike drops Bruno's LP to 3100 (4000+1600-2500). Bruno activates a monster effect of Tech Genus Rush Rhyno BE-04 at this moment. When it is destroyed, he can add another Tech Genus Rush Rhyno BE-04 from his deck to his hand. Placido asks whether Bruno truly thinks that he can defeat Machine Emperor Wisel Infinity. He sets up 2 cards and ends his turn. 4th - Bruno
Bruno calls for his turn and draws a card. In his standby phase, 1 Speed Counter is added to both sides following the effect of Speed World 2. They result in 3 SPCs (2+1) evenly. Bruno normal summons a tuner monster [Tech Genus Cyber Magician SC-01 ~ TG (Tech Genus) Cyber Magician SC-01 - 1/0/0: When using this card as a Synchro Material Monster, the other Synchro Material Monsters can be sent from your hand. This card is also treated as a Machine-Type monster. When a Spell or Trap Card you control targets this card as a Machine-Type monster, halve this card's original ATK and DEF. When this card is destroyed, you can add 1 "Tech Genus Cyber Magician" from your Deck to your hand. You cannot use it this turn] to the field in attack position. Bruno activates a monster effect of Tech Genus Cyber Magician SC-0. When he is going to do a synchro summon by using this card, he can use another monster on his hand as a synchro material monster. Another monster on hand is Tech Genus Rush Rhyno BE-04 earlier added to hand by its own effect. Bruno tunes Tech Genus Cyber Magician SC-01 on the field with Tech Genus Rush Rhyno BE-04 on his hand. "Limiter Release level 5! Booster launch OK! In-Creation OK! Ground Support, All Clear! Go Synchro Summon, come on, Tech Genus Wonder Magician!, " he says and synchro summons a tuner synchro monster [Tech Genus Wonder Magician ~ TG (Tech Genus) Wonder Magician - 5/1900: This card is also treated as a Machine-Type monster. When a Spell or Trap Card you control targets this card as a Machine-Type monster, halve this card's original ATK and DEF. When this card is destroyed, draw 1 card. That card cannot be used this turn] to the field in attack position.
Bruno continues by opening his face-down trap card [Double Type Rescue - Normal Trap: Activate only when you control at least 2 different Types, 1 of which is a Machine-Type Monster, and your opponent controls more monsters than you control. Select 1 monster in your Graveyard and Special Summon it]. According to its effect, when he has at least 2 monster types on the field and one of them is a machine-type monster and the opponent controls more monsters than he does, he can special summon a monster from his graveyard. Bruno has only a spellcaster monster, Tech Genus Wonder Magician, on the field, but this monster can also be treated as a machine-type monster. Thus, only this one monster is enough to satisfy the condition of Double Type Rescue. Placido has 5 monsters full of his field, so a number of monsters on both sides totally meets Double Type Rescue's condition. Placido looks stunned by an ability of Tech Genus Wonder Magician that can have both monster types. The monster Bruno decides to call from the graveyard following the effect of Double Type Rescue is Tech Genus Power Gladiator WAX-1000. He calls it to the field in attack position. Seeing two synchro monsters on the field and one of them is a tuner synchro monster, Placido can immediately see through a true identity of Accel Synchro. Bruno just smirks. Before he is able to play Accel Synchro, a march of Ghosts jump from another highway and fly down to the duel driveway. The Diablo surround Bruno, trying to obstruct his duel. Some hit his Delta Eagle. Bruno cries and speeds down. Placido rides pass him and laughs. Bruno asks whether Placido wants to have them obstruct his Accel Synchro. Placido feels sorry to him as Battle Royale Mode is running. Thus, the Diablo can interfere the duel.
Duel End 1 Ghost calls for his turn and summons Ally Bomb to the field in attack position. He quickly moves to battle phase, declaring an attack of Ally Bomb toward Tech Genus Wonder Magician. Ally Bomb with less ATK is clearly destroyed. Ghost doesn't seem to care anyway. By a monster effect of Ally Bomb, when it is destroyed by a light-attribute monster, he can destroy 2 cards on the field. Tech Genus Wonder Magician is a light-attribute monster, so Ghost selects to destroy Tech Genus Power Gladiator WAX-1000 and Bruno's face-down card. Placido smirks and asks whether Bruno no longer wants to offend. Bruno can't argue or play anything because he has already lost his monster to do Accel Synchro. Placido points his finger to him and tells him to die. Before he is about to declare a strike, Yusei suddenly appears and chases after both. Placido sees that Yusei has finally returned. Bruno hits Ghost away from Yusei's way and tells him to go after Placido. He will take care of these small fishes for him. Yusei thus speeds up, passing the Diablo to confront Placido in the front line. He claims to be Placido's opponent from now on. It's perfect for Placido as well as he plans to finish both of them off together.
Before Placido is going to move further, Jose makes a call to him and asks him to stop. He is aware that Yusei has already obtained new power, so it would be better for Placido to stop this duel. Placido asks what Jose means by that. Luciano appears in the line and explains how surprisingly Yusei also got god's will. As Placido is looking stunned, Jose is trying to convince him to give up. Yusei now isn't an opponent whom he can fight and be safe. His lines rather provoke Placido. He asks whether Jose means that he is going to lose to Yusei. Jose tries to say further, but Placido cuts the line out. He holds his fist tightly and looks angry. Placido doesn't care what kind of power Yusei got in hand. It has nothing to deal with him. He looks at Yusei and tells him that he is going to show him his true power. An equipment on Placido's right eye begins to glow. Placido stands up on his D-Wheel, draws his sword, and inserts it into the machine. His artificial eye glows brighter, and his whole D-Wheel begins to glow and transform. Yusei looks confused by what Placido is trying to do. As Placido's D-Wheel is transforming itself, his helmet shatters. Placido flies in the air before his body falls into his D-Wheel and is unioned with it. The artificial eye now glows in shape of an infinity sign. Placido's body is now a part of his D-Wheel. Yusei and Bruno are very stunned. Bruno realizes that this is a true form of Placido. "Yusei Fudo, I won't let you get away this time. Let's duel!, " Placido says and points his finger to Yusei.
