His Dad tells him they are the Destiny Hero cards, and says that while they may appear weak, if used right, they can be a useful and powerful force. He tells the 3 boys he won many tournaments as a boy with the D-Hero cards, and finishes with this final utter: "Remember: Every card counts." Cody thanks him and shows his friends, with them being rather impressed by the cards.

They plan to have the match after school.
