Aki broke Sherry's illusion real quick however she Z-ONE activated in the process.

why the hell did they gave her back the zone card? it would have been easier if they just keep it to themselves.

damn Yusei really is the Team Leader. im glad Aki is dueling once again :)

cannot wait for the next episode, seems sherry cannot accept the past and wants to relive it.

because they are people they're holding their promises...and without the card giving bak, it would be a bit confusing i think.

maybe aki really get a powerup for black rose dragon...

the dragon signs are lightning, danger is coming...i'm thinking whom of the two is in danger then ;)

i too, normally i watched once in a month 4 episodes but now i can_'t wait anymore for the new episodes. xD

Finally Sherry gets more screentime. I hope she won't lose it will be a shame for such a powerful opponent and besides, we just see her debut as a villain.

Great episode anyways, can't wait for the next.

That whole Token thing was really weird. I knew what was going on but it was still kinda confusing mostly bc they never showed Sherry setting those trap cards.

No new Aki cards = fail.
Enough Blackwings. I can totally see why they wanna scrap 5D's now...the Blackwings are so overpowered and there isn't much more they could do with them.

Yes! Ruka and Rua bust out their skateboards! Man, I missed those things, but how is Rua going to power his? :/

I really love the way Sherry had Aki and Crow fight each other for a bit. I realized the trick right away when 'sherry' sacrificed a token for another token, and I thought it was really smart. Neat that team 5Ds memorized each other's decks. Not very often do we see people actually reading card effects to learn what they do...

This duel and entire arc is pretty hype. I'm excited to see how 5Ds will end off.

That was as about a dirty a trick as I have ever seen.

Sherry is such a cheat.

Ecole de Zone had one of the coolest aesthetic effects out of all Field Spells so far imo, although its actual effect was annoying as hell. I wish Sherry was still using her old deck from when she dueled Yusei, not this new deck with cards that Z-one obviously gave her, but whatever.

This is actually a pretty interesting duel with equally interesting methods of transitioning between Crow's and Aki's points of view. Usually YGO resorts to mind control, brainwashing, or blackmail to get friends to fight friends. This episode instead uses illusions to trick the two into dueling each other, and so it becomes a puzzle to figure out their situation, and how to subsequently escape.

Ark Cradle is like a final dungeon straight out of a JRPG. Looks annoying to traverse.

It does sort of seem like Crow should've used that card while dueling Sherry. Though, maybe they felt like they didn't want to repeat how Yugi used Red-Eyes against Jonouchi?

I'm disappointed that we finally see Akiza battle and her monsters are reduced to gray blobs. I mean, I guess at least the concept of the duel is interesting, but it sucks to not be able to see Akiza's cool plants.

Ah, well, they overcame the blob thing by the end, so at least there is that. Hopefully Akiza will get a chance to shine a bit more in the back-half of this duel then.

Team 5Ds is safe but separated, but there are three paths leading to the Yusei gears that need to be shut down to save New Domino. Pretty cool that Leo and Luna have their own riding boards now. Crow and Aki take on Sherry, who threw out all her plans for revenge in favor of supporting Z-one so they can grant her a wish if she protects the Yusei gears, she has to be brainwashed. Ecole de Zone is quite annoying, turning their monsters into normal tokens, however Crow and Aki figure out they aren't fighting two Sherrys separately, it was a free for all, with Crow and Aki hurting each other's life points. Good to finally see some action from the beautiful Aki Izayoi and her black rose dragon wiping out that field spell. Unfortunately, they shouldn't have given Sherry the Z-one spell card (they tried to make her remember the memento from her father before the duel) as that was set on the field and triggers when destroyed and sent to the grave, with some powerful effect
