[edit] Summary

[edit] Duel continues

Yusei continues his Turbo Duel with Trudge while trying to escape the Security warehouse. Securities continue to shut exits leaving no escape. With only a dead end ahead, Trudge prompts Yusei to surrender. Blister then contacts Yusei and tells him to push on. Yusei speeds forward towards the next door, which suddenly explodes allowing passage for the two riders. After passing through, both riders plummet down an elevator chute. Trudge laughs and continues the Duel as they fall. In the English version, Trudge says that he'll get payback for when Yusei ditched him back in the trash tube.

Yusei makes it out after reaching the bottom, but the elevator doors shut holding Trudge inside. Trudge smashes through the doors and catches up with Yusei. Trudge begins to ram his Duel Runner into Yusei's, but is aburtly kicked back when Blister suddenly appears. In the Japanese version; Yusei asks Blister why he came. Claiming not to have any "mushy" feelings for friends, Saiga (Blister) states that he's here to see the fate of someone who prattles of "bonds of friendship" and for their financial buisness. Yusei asks what happens. Saiga reflects on the accident where Yuji (Aero) got severly injured. In the English; Yusei thanks Blister, but Blister says not to bother, he's only here to check out his handy work; should this task fail, his reputation might never recover. He tries to assures Yusei that they're not friends, he's already ruined one friendship. Yusei then asks Blister to tell him about Aero.

[edit] Story of Blister and Aero

Blister and Aero play "Machiners Sniper" and use it to attack and destroy their opponent's "Battle Warrior". Afterwards their both shown raising a trophy.

In the Japanese version, Saiga says that he convinced himself, Aero was the best friend around. But he cut ties with Yuji in order to go solo and make it to the big league.

In the English version, Blister tells Yusei that back then, they were on top of their game and it was all because Aero was a great competitor and an even greater friend. Aero thought they'd be champs forever, Blister explains, but he was missing the bigger picture, Tag Dueling could only take them so far. Blister made arrangements to go solo, after a representative from KaibaCorp showed up, offering big money. He saw this as a huge chance to make it to the big league and face duelist like the legends, Atlas, Phoenix and Truesdale.

While Blister and Aero are dueling Saiga began to scold Aero for playing the "Machiners Sniper" card.

In the Japanese, Yuji says that it's their favorite card, but Saiga argues that that move is not always going to work. Blister reminds Yusei of what he said, "having friends makes you only think more about yourself." You just use them, hurt them and eventually betray them without a care.

In the English version, Aero asks why does Blister care and feels betrayed after hearing the deal he made with KaibaCorp. Blister tells him that friendship doesn't pay the rent and he doesn't want to spend the rest of his life in the Tag Duel bush league. Aero apologizes.

"Machiner's Sniper" gets destroyed and they begin arguing over the move. As they argue the Duel Runner in front of them falls over. The duo hit off of it and are sent off course in the direction of a factory. The side car breaks off. Blister reaches out for Aero's hand, but pulls away to save himself, leaving Aero to crash.

In the Japanese, he explains that Kyuji survived, but still curses him to this day. Yusei asks if Yuji actually said that. Saiga replies that he didn't have to for him to know. Yusei glares back slightly unsure. He says that the word friend may be phony, but so long as the bond exists, that's proof enough. That is why Yusei came, back for his bonds.

In the English, Blister says that Aero spend a few months in hospital and never let him say sorry. All he did was sent him the "Machiners Sniper" card to remind him what a bad friend he was. Next time someone asks Yusei about friendship, Blister instructs him to remember what he did to his best friend. He hopes Yusei's friends are worth the risk that Yusei is investing, because if he knows friends, they're only hanging out with Yusei because they want something in return. Yusei insists that he's wrong and Blister is too angry with himself to see the truth. He tells Blister that Aero never wanted to hurt him, sometimes friends do stupid things.

[edit] Trudge returns

Trudge suddenly reappears reminding them that the Duel is still on. The Duel continues and with victory looking very likely to be in Trudge's hands. In the English version, Blister says that Yusei is just like Aero, since he's not afraid. Yusei tells him that's because he's got him on his side and Aero would have felt the same.

In the Japanes, Saiga beomes uneasy and asks Yusei how he's going to get out of this. Yusei assures Saiga that he'll win, while he has bonds with his friends, but this causes Saiga to get even more upset and tell Yusei to stop with his nonsense. Yusei says that it isn't nonsense and that Saiga is holding a bond himself, the "Machiners Sniper". Saiga still thinks he was given the card as a reminder that Kyuji will never forgive him. Yusei suggests that maybe Yuji had risked his life to save the card. Yusei could tell by looking at the damaged card, that Yuji had fixed it up.

In the English version, Blister worries that Yusei is going to lose and his reputation will suffer. Yusei assures him that he'll win and that Blister's friendship is what's going to make it all possible. Blister is reluctant to help him. He says Yusei doesn't want his help, unlike back in the Satellite, friends only get the way over here. Yusei is not convinced that Blister really feels that way. Mentioning the card Aero returned to him, immediatly causes Blister to jump on defense and insist Aero gave it to him in spite. Yusei assures Blister, that he's wrong, Aero gave him the card as a symbol of their friendship.

Flashbacks show Kyuji rescuing the card from the fire just before being blown back by the explosion. Yusei assures Saiga, that Kyuji didn't want to cut bonds, since he wanted to cherish those bonds. As long as Saiga holds the bonds, they will still be friends, just like Yusei has his friends.

The Duel continues and when it is clear Yusei is about to win, Trudge becomes enraged and begins to ram into Yusei saying that he shouldn't lose to Satellite scum, like Yusei. Blister then holds Ushio back allowing Yusei to finish the Duel. Blister falls over while holding Trudge back, but tells Yusei to go on without him.

[edit] The twins

Yusei leaves the building and rides through a crowd of Securities. As he does so, he gets electrocuted by the securities. Meanwhile elsewhere Luna, who is with her brother Leo, senses something and rushes out of the room. Yusei gets away from the crowd and falls. The twins dash outside the building, finding him.

[edit] Differences in adaptions

• Yuji (Aero) crashing into a buliding in Saiga's (Blister's) flashback is removed from the English version.

[edit] Mistakes

• The TV Tokyo website, mistakenly leaked the "Morphtronic Magnen" high quality image, by listing it as the Featured Card for this episode, instead of "Turbo Warrior". "Morphtronic Magnen" is in fact the Featured Card for episode 13. This error was fixed shortly afterwards.

• In the dub, when Trudge activated "Speed Spell - Rapid Shot Wing" to increase "Search Striker's" ATK, its ATK appeared as 1650 before the increase rather than 1600.
