Summary
Alexis Rhodes tries to find Jaden Yuki at the Slifer Red Dormitory, but fails, and notes that his phone is turned off. Alexis calls Syrus Truesdale, who is watching Jaden's duel with Bastion Misawa and Bastion is further enraged to see that even Syrus is getting calls from Alexis. Alexis arrives, and Syrus suggests that Bastion is motivated to pursue the duel out of envy, but refuses to clarify his remarks.

Despite Bastion's excellent planning, Jaden manages to defeat him, and while Bastion suspects he could have won if he had drawn Smashing Ground, he concedes to himself that Jaden is superior to him even in his tactics. Alexis tells Jaden that she has the DVD he wanted, but Jaden reveals he was also dueling for the Duelist Kingdom DVD. Jaden then suggests that Alexis and Misawa exchange numbers to make loaning DVDs easier. Unfortunately for Jaden, Bastion loans the Duelist Kingdom DVD to Alexis first,
