At the shop, Cody's Dad gives him 17 new cards. 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."
