Outside the Tsukumo residence, Yuma was pacing around, waiting for someone to arrive.
Yuma: Come on, come on, come on! What could be taking him so long?
Astral: What could be taking whom so long, yuma?
Yuma: The deliverer of dreams, and of hopes.
Astral: That does not help.
[Horn honking]
Yuma: He's here! Yuma looks to see a Mail man riding up to him. Yeah! But he passes the boy by. Hold on... Hey, wait up! Don't ya have a letter in your postbag for me?
Yuma asks as he runs alongside the slow moving mail man until he jumps in front of him, making him stop.
Yuma: The name's Yuma Tsukumo!
Mailman: Yuma, huh? Let's see here... he pulls up a list of deliveries. Okay, right. Here we go. Let me just double check this and...Nope.
Yuma: ?!
Mailman: There is no mail for Yuma Tsukumo. Have a nice day.
By the looks of it, Yuma's day was not off to a nice start. Meanwhile at Kai's house, the young man was yawning as he went to get his Mail.
Kai: Let's see. He goes through the Mail and notices a letter addressed to him. Hm? He opens the letter and reads the contents.
"Dear Kai Misaki, you have been cordially invited to participate in the upcoming World Duel Carnival tournament. Inside this envelope, you will find a Heart Piece which will allow you entry into the tournament. Best of luck."
Kai sticks his hand inside the envelope and pulls out a small heart shaped item the size of a coin. He also sees a much larger heart shaped container with straps to be attached to the wrist.
Cologne: Ooh! That's cute. Can I have it?
Kai: It's not for you. But, the weird thing is I don't even remember entering the World Duel Carnival.
Cologne: Well, this could be a good thing. You haven't dueled in a tournament for a while. This could be just the thing to get your groove back.
Kai:...Hm.
Later that day, the gang was at school.
Bronk: Good morning to ya, my blue-haired bud! He said wrapping his arm around Caswell's head.
Caswell: It was pretty good until you showed up!
Tori: Looks like you woke up on the right side of the bed today.
Bronk: Every side's the right one this morning, and this here is why! Bronk shows a video of the tournament. It's starting! The World Duel Carnival!
Tori: That explains it.
Bronk: Yeah, you bet it does Tori. This is gonna be the best duel tournament ever thrown!
Caswell: Due in no small part to what the duelists could win! Not only will the winner be immortalized as a champion for all of time, but they get a free lifetime pass to Heartland!
Flip: And you'll really flip when ya hear the next part. Mr. Heartland himself has promised to grant the tournament winner one wish and make it come true no matter what it takes!
Tori: Really?
Flip: I already know my wish. It's gonna be to wish for a hundred more wishes, how smart is that?
Caswell: Maybe you should just wish for a less goofy hat.
Cathy: I know what I'd wish for. A date with Yuma... She stares into space, imagining it.
