While we saw the stage be set for the Dark Signers to begin their opening act, we were also introduced to Carly, a clumsy newspaper reporter with good instincts for sniffing out scoops! In fact, Carly was the only reporter asking the real questions that should have been pressing everyone’s mind: What’s up with the Crimson Dragon and what is that mark that is glowing on Yusei’s arm? The way the feeds were cut off, preventing the audience from actually seeing the conclusion of the duel, the sheer destruction in a duel that to everyone’s knowledge, had no psychic powers involved. Though I must say, it was refreshing to see that Ushio was denied challenging Yusei to yet another petty duel (what a sore loser), and I loved how Yusei completely ignored him and treated him like a taxi, “Take me to Godwin”. Naturally with the Dark Signers already making their moves, Yusei intends to return to Satellite to investigate further, but before that, he needs to see Godwin to obtain more information about the Dark Signers. While today’s proxy was seemingly spared, there is certainly an an ominous implication of the duelists being “locked” into the duel, unable to escape the ring that forms around them once they are engaged in battle, and the subject of being presented as sacrifices. On top of that, these proxies going around picking fights is a problem because whoever gets locked into a duel with them will be pressed with the same danger they would face in volatile psychic duel where both players’ attacks can physically harm each other.

And while they are doing that, they also using creepy little spiders to go around and take possession of various people to push that propaganda, and use as their proxy agents to attack Yusei and his fellow Signers. These guys are certainly not the type to dally as they already taking the initiative to spread propaganda to have the public turn against the Crimson Signers by claiming the Crimson Dragon yearns for “blood and despair”, and will destroy Satellite while the City is left unscathed. Unfortunately for him, even though they have yet to identify the fifth Signer, the emergence of the Crimson Dragon have prompted the Dark Signers to finally kick things into gear. In fact, the poor guy hardly has the time to have a breather when he quickly finds himself diving head first into yet another dangerous battle before the day is even over! Needless to say, Yusei still doesn’t care about the title, but rather he is far more concerned with the the vision of Satellite’s catastrophic fate. With the Fortune Cup is over, Yusei has been crowned as the new King, but given there are still many who are not happy about it, and much less convinced he had won fairly due to the duel’s footage being cut off by the Crimson Dragon’s arrival.
