Akiza parents's ask Yusei for help
Akiza's parents are anxious over her being rushed to hospital, while unconscious as a result of the duel against the Dark Signers in the headquarters of the Arcadia Movement. As they both watch her while in coma, they are not alone as Jack and the others are with them. As they don't know how they can help her, Jack says Yusei Fudo is the only one who can help her now.

Because of that, Eiyu, Akiza's father, goes in search for him. Along the way not only does he confesses to Yusei the truth about the disastrous past with his daughter, but also asks of Yusei if he can save her. Yusei agrees after Martha helps convince him. She also teases him about having a crush on Akiza. Yusei tries to protest, but Martha and Saiga laugh. Yusei leaves for Neo Domino City where he meets the others. He doesn't say anything, but heads right in to the operation room where Akiza is. There, when he takes off his glove, his and Akiza's birthmarks start glowing, causing her to wake up. She sits up and asks Yusei why he is here. Then, she spots her father and becomes infuriated. She then remembers Divines death, and starts crying. Yusei tries to calm her down, but she stands up, activating her duel disk. Yusei and Akiza then start dueling.
