Worf Had the Flu applies when a loser is hindered by outside forces- there is NO hint here that Kurosaki is at an unusual disadvantage, nor does the trope example list any, and furthermore listing this trope implies that Ruri- whose strengths have NEVER been seen before- is incapable of dueling well without an unfair advantage. So this trope is inaccurately listed AND problematic. If anything, the trope should apply to RURI since she only lost because she threw the match, meaning Kurosaki had the situational advantage in terms of this duel, not her.

As they reunite after a long time, Ruri breaks down in tears while Kurosaki is happy that his sister is safe. But suddenly, Ruri goads her brother into Dueling her. Thanks to Edo’s information, Kurosaki was able to notice that Ruri is being controlled by someone. Resolving to save his sister with his own strength, he fights by himself. However, as Ruri summons a monster he has never seen before, Kurosaki finds himself overpowered.
to:
Ruri overlays her five Level 1 monsters to Xyz summon "Lyrical Luscinia - Assembly Nightingale." The effect of Assembly Nightingale makes its ATK become equal to the number of overlay units it has
Ruri's turn begins. She conducts three direct attacks with Nightingale, taking Kurosaki to 600 Life Points. In the depths of her mind Ruri begins to awaken, but the duel continues. Since a Lyrical Luscinia inflict damage, she activates the Quickplay spell "Lyrical Luscinia - Bird Song" to summon a level 1 monster from her hand. She summons "Parasite Fusioner," stunning Kurosaki. As it was Special Summoned, Parasite Fusioner lets Ruri perform a Fusion Summon instantly. She fuses Nightingale and Fusioner to summon "Lyrical Luscinia - Independent Nightingale" with 1000 ATK. The effect of Parasite Fusioner equips itself to Nightingale, and the effect of Nightingale activates. Its level increases by 1 for each Xyz unit Assembly Nightingale had, and it gains 500 ATK times its level. Now level 4, Independent Nightingale climbs to 3000 ATK.
Nightingale attacks Blaze Falcon, and Kurosaki activates his Trap "Raidraptor - Evasive" to return an Xyz unit to his hand and negate the attack. Ruri activates Nightingale's effect to deal 500 damage times its level, but Kurosaki finds
Kurosaki summons "Little Fairy," given to him by Kaito. He uses its effect twice to increase its level to 5. He then activates "Cross Xyz." Since Little Fairy's level is the same as Blaze Falcon's Rank, Kurosaki can treat Blaze Falcon as having a level and use the two of them to Xyz Summon. He overlays them to summon "Raidraptor - Étranger Falcon." Kurosaki uses Étranger Falcon's effect, detaching an Xyz unit to destroy Independent Nightingale and deal damage equal to its ATK. Ruri begins to use the effect of Parsite Fusioner to negate Nightingale's destruction, but her true self fights back and stops the move. Nightingale is destroyed and Ruri is down to 1000 Life Points. In control of her body, Ruri calls for Kurosaki to attack her. He does so, winning the duel. Ruri is freed from the Doctor's control, but he runs off laughing he knows ways to improve his methods.
Meanwhile in the battle arena, Sawatari falls down a cliff to escape his pursuer. He climbs up to find Crow. The Academia duelists Emma and Jacob find them, and they begin a tag team duel. Suddenly, their duel disks announce an intrusion penalty has been inflicted - someone else has entered the duel, but there is no one there. Crow calls on the new duelist to show themselves. Watching in the bushes, Sanders' Battle Beast prepares to strike.

Deleted bullet for pure speculation, there is no indicative whatsoever that Ruri was aware of what was happening beyond being controlled, the reasons for her breaking off the Parasite are already explained on the Fighting From The Inside and the Big Brother Instinct
