Interested in the incident that happened 10 years ago, Ghost Girl challenged Playmaker to a Duel, with Ai as a wager. Learning that he will be able to obtain the program that allows him to infiltrate SOL Technologies's Data Bank if he wins, Yusaku heads to LINK VRAINS. Fully aware of the risks, Yusaku still accepted Ghost Girl's challenge in order to discover the truth about the incident that happened 10 years ago. However, he faces a tough battle against Ghost Girl's elusive Altergeist deck!
This episode contains the following tropes:
- Art Evolution: Starting from this episode has a new Link Summon animation, new Link VRAINS background, more smoother dueling, more overlays of the state of the field, Link Markers on the Monster stats etc.
- Cute Clumsy Girl: Hayami spills the cup of coffee she brought for Akira after he makes brief physical contact with her. Akira casually forgives her.
- Establishing Character Moment: Calling out on his subordinates for lagging behind on the development of an AI duelist army and threatening to cut their salaries by 50% should they continue stagnating paints Kitamura as a Mean Boss.
- The Teaser: Ema analyses Playmaker, pondering over how he is capable of utilising Storm Access and whether that is related to the unknown ten-year old incident. She then attempts to search for more information in SOL Technologies' data bank, only to be overwhelmed by a Data Storm, forcing her to shut down her system. While she muses over how she is unable to access the data bank, she refuses to relent.
