5Dx025 Jack leaves Satellite

Jack in the pipeline.

The pipeline is a chute connecting Satellite and New Domino City. It is used to transport waste from New Domino to Satellite[1] and is the only known way to escape Satellite by Duel Runner.

As explained by Yusei Fudo, although the pipeline is usually filled with trash all the time, at midnight once per month, the pipeline is closed down for three minutes for maintenance before trash starts flowing again and a hatch connecting to New Domino opens up on the other side of the tunnel. Although this makes it possible to get to the city, the area surrounding the pipeline is ruthlessly guarded by Sector Security, making it very difficult, if not impossible, to get through the hatch in time before it closes. As a result, Yusei is the only known person to date who has successfully escaped to New Domino through the pipeline without an invitation.

History[]

Two years before the events of the main Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's storyline, Jack Atlas stole a Duel Runner built by Yusei, his childhood friend and foster brother, and traveled through the pipeline to get to New Domino under Rex Goodwin's instructions. Over the next two years, he would establish himself as New Domino's Duel King, making him wildly popular with the people living in the city.

Two years later, Yusei finished building a new Duel Runner and traveled through the pipeline in order to get back his first Duel Runner and his Stardust Dragon card, which Jack had also stolen from him two years earlier. Although Trudge, a Sector Security officer, attempted to stop him through a duel, Yusei was able to defeat him and get through the pipeline's escape hatch just in time, successfully escaping to New Domino and leaving Trudge to be crushed by the inflowing waste.[2] Trudge would survive the incident, albeit with a large scar on the left side of his face.
