Accompanied by Firewall Dragon, Playmaker musters every last ounce of his strength to fight against Revolver's Varreload Dragon. Playmaker vows to get revenge for the incident that happened in the past, while Revolver plots to eradicate Ignis. The two's beliefs shall now clash, with their two dragons facing off against one another!
This episode contains the following tropes:
- An Arm and a Leg: Revolver gets his right arm bitten off by Ignis, but it regenerates shortly after he logs out of Link VRAINS.
- Department of Redundancy Department: Playmaker's first reason as to why he must defeat Revolver is to defeat him and uncover the truth about the ten-year old incident.
- Dull Surprise: Neither Yusaku or Kusanagi bat an eye when Ai regains and reveals his true form, and continue analysing him to see if they overlooked anything. Ai doesn't appreciate not having his attention reciprocated.
- Godzilla Threshold: Dr. Kogami says that if they cannot retrieve Ignis, than they will have to start preparations for their final plan.
- He Knows Too Much: Downplayed; the higher-ups of SOL Technologies. are shown to be fully aware of the the incident 10 years ago and plan to remove Akira from his current position before he gets 'too curious' by promoting Kitamura - an apparently ambitious individual - to his position (most likely by using his more recent failures as an excuse).
- I Gave My Word: As promised, Revolver hands over the removal program, required to delete the virus planted inside of Aoi/Blue Angel, to Playmaker after losing.
- Internal Reveal: Downplayed; while not much is elaborated on, it is still the very first time Akira (as well as Emma/Ghost Girl, who even lampshades it) hears of the incident from Yusaku's past ten years ago. The higher-ups of SOL Technologies. still believe that even that is too much and swiftly opt for demoting him before he starts to ask questions about it.
- Manly Tears: Akira gets very emotional after Aoi wakes up from her coma.
- One-Hit Kill: After pumping up Firewall Dragon's ATK to 7200, Playmaker banishes Parallel Port Armor and two Link Monsters from his graveyard to allow it to make a second attack, targeting Borreload Dragon and wiping out Revolver's entire LP in a single shot.
- Villainous Rescue: Dr. Kogami stops Ai from devouring Revolver completely, and brings the latter out of Link VRAINS back into reality.
- Wham Line: In-Universe; Revolver's reaction to Playmaker making lists of 'three things'. It is all but stated that he personally knows the person who introduced Yusaku to that speech pattern.
- Wham Shot: Ignis regaining his true form.
