Gong muss sich auf seinen nächsten Kampf konzentrieren, was ihm nicht leicht fällt. Denn er muss dafür seinen Freund Yuya im Stich lassen.
On the second day of the championship, Gong is set to face against Gen Ankokuji, a former student of his family's dojo who often bullied Yuya. However, Gen has his lackeys lead Yuya into an ambush, hoping to weaken Gong's steadfast spirit. Gong prepares to perform a Synchro Summon, but Gen manages to take control of his Tuner monster, further taunting him with the unknown circumstances Yuya is in. However, Zuzu manages to assure Gong that Yuya can handle himself, allowing him to place his faith in Yuya. Gen brings out his ace monster, Battleguard Mad Shaman, to take control of Gong's monster, but Gong, supported by the safe arrival of Yuya, manages to bring out Susanowo and win the match.
Quando il vecchio sparring partner di Gong prepara una trappola per Yuya, l'unico modo in cui Gong può salvare il suo amico è di rinunciare al suo duello e abbandonare il torneo!
