As Reed shows up in front of Olga and Halil, Reed offers the two of them his hospitality due to them being from overseas: a duel. Their challenger beckons Reed to show himself. Olga and Halil look to their left and see someone with a fishing rod standing on a much bigger rock. Suddenly, the cards are hooked by a pair of fishing lines. They find the two cards on a stone behind a hedge, and Halil goes to claim them. Halil wonders why the cards are acting like that, and chases after them with Olga. But as Halil touches the cards, they float away from him. He decides to test his new friendship by offering Olga one of the two cards. Suddenly, Halil spots two Pendulum Cards on a rock in front of him. Halil tries to convince Olga to be his friend, but, possibly still angered by her loss, Olga refuses to team up with Halil. Meanwhile, Halil is tailing Olga through the forest area after they lost the tag duel against Zuzu and Gong. Everyone around her stares in a mixture of embarrassment and dejection. The interviewer moves on to Yuya's mother, Yoko, who says she's pleased for her son, but, blushing, wants to see more people like Dennis and Reed Pepper. Skip starts saying something, then realizes he's on camera, only to be interrupted by Tate, Allie and Frederick who barge in front of him and express their support for Yuya and Zuzu. She first interviews Skip Boyle, the principal of You Show Duel School, noting that two of his students have already won a duel each at this stage. As the fierce battles continue, Nico decides to hear what the spectators have to say, and the female host who commentated on the Youth rounds earlier in the tournament, is at the stands acknowledging Nico's request. In the ravaged area, Shay Obsidian of the Leo Institute beat three members of the overseas Knights of the Duel Disks school at once. In the blizzard area, two separate duels merged into one tag duel, in which Zuzu Boyle of You Show Duel School was helped out by Gong Strong of the Strong Dojo, beating Leo Institute exchange students Halil and Olga. In the volcanic area, Yuya Sakaki of the You Show Duel School teamed up with Leo Institute exchange student Dennis McField to beat Taka and Nagi of the Bandit Warrior Academy.
