• Misty Lola asked Jiang He to help bring her brother Toby back if his soul could be recovered, then warned him that Carly might soon be in danger.

• Yusei Fudo asked whether more Dark Signers were at Duel Academy, and Jiang He said none were among the new students for now.

Jiang He and the others suspected Goodwin was connected to the Dark Signers and might be seeking the Crimson Dragon’s power. After gaining Emotion Points from Carly, Jiang He relaxed in the hot spring, where Akiza joined him with a flimsy excuse, and someone else opened the bathroom door.

• Misty’s information reassured the group that she had not died, and Jack asked Jiang He whether he carried the missing Dragon Head Mark; Jiang He denied it and pointed them toward Goodwin.

They found the old beast arena and learned that the missing students and a newly appeared Dark Signer were inside, with the Dark Signer apparently someone they knew.
