"The Question of the Card" known as "Tremble with Fear! Resolve of the Lord and Retainer!!" in the Japanese version is the ninety-third episode of the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime.

Sherry, while on the run for her life due to the card she possesses, decides to break into Sector Security's Head Quarters. At the same time, Yusei and Bruno are at the headquarters as well. While Yusei talks to Trudge and Mina about Bruno's situation, a report reaches them that a time bomb is inside the building, while everyone is still in the building. An evacuation is announced, but Yusei and Bruno see Sherry and run after her.

As Sherry proceeds to the central computer terminal, Elsworth begins to shut the door. Bruno gets through, but the door is locked before Yusei can follow. Elsworth then wires his Duel Disk to the door, announcing to Yusei that it is now impossible for the door to be unlocked unless he is defeated in a duel.

Yusei accepts this. During the duel, he finds Elsworth's tactics to be aimed at eliminating enemies, regardless of cost to self. When he asks Elsworth why he is so devoted to supporting Sherry and her mission, Elsworth refuses to answer.

Meanwhile, Sherry has activated the computer for analysis of the Z-One card, in an attempt to find any clue as to why this card was so important as to drive someone to murder her parents. Before she can begin, Bruno confronts her. She attacks Bruno, who can only dodge, insisting he does not want to fight her.

However, her determination to find the motive behind her parents' murder won't let her stop without analysing the card. When she is about to administer a lethal attack, his eyes glow red and he parries it, throwing her across the room with ease. Though she lands ready to continue the fight, he seizes her by the throat, stopping just short of punching her when he sees the Z-One card.

He takes the card and she asks for it back, as it has the truth she's been searching for. At these words, Bruno returns to normal and releases her. He volunteers his expertise with computers to conduct the analysis, sympathising with her search for the truth about herself.

After Yusei wins the duel, he and Elsworth go to rejoin the others. The analysis has finished and Bruno and Sherry are surprised to find that no anomalous features have been discovered in the card. But even this surprise is surpassed when the terminal surges with a storm of energy and Yusei runs to them as they are enveloped in a burst of light.

The three find themselves in a cyber-like plane. Looking around, they see a strange mechanical object with an eye staring right at them. Even as they look at it, they are scanned with a strange frequency and are rendered unconscious. They wake up back in their world, though they are now far from the headquarters.

Elsworth, who knew nothing after the burst, acknowledges his debt to Yusei for not turning them in to Security. He carries the still-unconscious Sherry away, leaving Yusei and Bruno to wonder what just happened.

Featured Duel: Elsworth vs. Yusei FudoEdit

Elsworth's turn
Elsworth draws. He then Normal Summons "Spirit Summit Warrior" (1200/1600) in Attack Position. Since "Spirit Summit Warrior" was Normal Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Elsworth to Special Summon "Liberated Rear Warrior" (0/0) from his hand in Attack Position as it's a Level 3 or below Warrior-type monster. Elsworth then tunes "Spirit Summit Warrior" with "Liberated Rear Warrior" to Synchro Summon "Driven Daredevil" (2400/2100) in Attack Position. Elsworth places 2 cards face-down in his Spell & Trap Card Zones and ends his turn.

Yusei's turn
Yusei draws "Quillbolt Hedgehog". He then sends "Quillbolt Hedgehog" to the Graveyard to Special Summon "Quickdraw Synchron" from his hand (700/1400) in Attack Position. Since Yusei has a Tuner on his field, he Special Sumons "Quillbolt Hedgehog" from the Graveyard (800/800) in Attack Position. Yusei then tunes his two monsters together to Synchro Summon "Nitro Warrior" (2800/1800) in Attack Position. Since "Quillbolt Hedgehog" has been removed from the field, it is removed from play. "Nitro Warrior" attacks "Driven Daredevil", but due to the effect of "Driven Daredevil", it's not destroyed, however Elsworth still takes Battle Damage (Elsworth 4000 → 3600 Life Points). Elsworth then activates the effect of "Driven Daredevil", destroying "Nitro Warrior". Elsworth then activates "Master and Servant's Resolve". Now when a monster is destroyed by an Effect Monster's effect during the Battle Phase, the controller of the destroyed monster will take damage equal to its ATK. During each of Elsworth's Standby Phases, he must take 1000 damage or "Master and Servant's Resolve" will be destroyed. As Yusei's "Nitro Warrior" got destroyed by the effect of "Driven Daredevil", the effect of "Master and Servant's Resolve" activates (Yusei 4000 → 1200 Life Points). Yusei summons "Tricular" (300/300) in Defense Position. He then he places 1 card face-down in his Spell & Trap Card Zone and ends his turn.

Elsworth's turn
Elsworth draws. During Elsworth's Standby Phase, he pays the Maintenance cost of "Master and Servant's Resolve" to keep it on the field (Elsworth 3600 → 2600 Life Points). "Driven Daredevil" attacks and destroys "Tricular". Yusei activates the effect of "Tricular", Special Summoning "Bicular" from his Deck (200/200) in Defense Position. Elsworth activates "Reversal Sword" destroying "Bicular" and inflicting damage to both players equal to its ATK (Yusei 1200 → 1000 Life Points) (Elsworth 2600 → 2400 Life Points). Elsworth then places 1 card face-down in his Spell & Trap Card Zone and ends his turn.

Yusei's turn
Yusei draws "Turbo Booster". He then summons "Debris Dragon" (1000/2000) in Attack Position. Since "Debris Dragon" was Normal Summoned, its effect activates, allowing Yusei to Special Summon "Tricular" from his Graveyard (300/300) in Attack Position with its effects negated. Since Yusei Normal Summoned a monster, he Special Summons "Turbo Booster" from his hand (0/0) in Attack Position. Yusei then tunes his three monsters together to Synchro Summon "Stardust Dragon" (2500/2000) in Attack Position. "Stardust Dragon" attacks "Driven Daredevil", but due to the effect of "Driven Daredevil", it's not destroyed, however Elsworth still takes Battle Damage (Elsworth 2400 → 2300 Life Points). Elsworth then activates "Standoff". He then activates the effect of "Driven Daredevil" to destroy "Stardust Dragon". Yusei tries to Tribute "Stardust Dragon" to negate the effect of "Driven Daredevil" and destroy it, but due to the effect of "Standoff", neither player is allowed to Tribute monsters on the field. Yusei activates "Space Jump", removing "Stardust Dragon" from play and inflicting damage to Elsworth equal to its ATK (Elsworth 2300 → 0 Life Points).

Yusei wins.
