Design[edit]
Appearance[edit]
Rally is a young boy (often mistaken for a girl), with long curly reddish-brown hair under a beanie, a long blue jacket over an orange dress, black pants, and brown sandals. Later he replaces the dress with a green and orange shirt. He has large grey eyes and a small golden criminal mark in the shape of a triangle under his left eye.
Personality[edit]
Rally is typically a very cheerful, upbeat person despite living in less than savory conditions in Satellite. He is shown to be very loyal to his friends, especially Yusei, as he would steal parts for his Duel Runner and gave him his favorite card. His faith in Yusei was strong enough that instead of fighting him in a duel to the death, he instead chose to lose, so hat Yusei would live on. When Jack had started to distance himself from his friends, Rally would visit him and encourage him to spend time with them.
Biography[edit]
History[edit]
Rally along with Yusei Fudo, Jack Atlas, Blitz, Tank and Nervin lived together in Satellite. Jack left the group after having differing goals with Yusei. Rally would often fluctuate between spending time with Jack and the others. He tried to encourage Jack to rejoin their friends. After Jack is invited to New Domino City, he calls Rally to his location and knocks him out, later tying Rally up and leaves him floating in a boat off the pier, in a scheme to get Yusei's "Stardust Dragon" and Duel Runner, which were necessary to get to New Domino. When Yusei arrives, Jack gives him an ultimatum between saving Rally, or keeping his Duel Runner and Stardust Dragon card. Yusei takes off his jacket and deck box and proceeds to save Rally, who apologizes for the trouble while Jack steals the card and Duel Runner.
Fortune Cup[edit]
At some point Rally acquires a chip for Yusei's new Duel Runner, with his friends worrying that Rally might have stolen it. (in the dub, Jack planted it where Rally would find it.)[1] After giving it to Yusei, they are confronted by Sector Security, who are looking for Rally. They tell Rally it is pointless to run, since they can track him with the signal emitted from the criminal mark, but Yusei uses his laptop to jam the signal. Yusei speeds off to distract the securities, while Rally and their friends make their escape. Yusei clears any extra criminal record Rally obtained that day by defeating a security, Trudge in a duel, where Yusei wagered them to forget the events of that day, if he won.[1] Sometime later in an abandoned and destroyed subway, Rally times Yusei on his Duel Runner. Rally excitedly screams that Yusei has beat his best time and that breaking through the pipeline should be extremely easy for him. He witnesses Yusei's duel with Lenny.[2]
Before Yusei parts to leave Satellite to get to the city through the pipeline and duel Jack, Rally gives Yusei "Turbo Booster", which was Rally's most prized card. (In the dub, it was said to have belonged to his father.)[3] Later Rally, along with Blitz, Tank and Nervin are captured by Iliaster and held captive to force Yusei to enter the Fortune Cup. After Yusei made it to the finals, Jack ordered that they be released, saying Yusei wasn't going to run away. Rally and his friends are set free in a scrapyard with a monitor to watch the Fortune Cup final, and are surprised to see Yusei is dueling Jack and that Yusei defeated him.[4]
Dark Signers[edit]
Rally and the others were then hanging out at the old subway until Yusei and Crow came. Through Crow's criminal mark, Sector Security tracks all of them down and Crow tells them to go to his hideout. Although Rally and the others went to the hideout quickly, Yusei and Crow were busy dueling two Sector Security Officers. When all the kids that Crow takes care of appear, Rally gets frustrated that the kids want Yusei's autograph while Tank suggests to get the autograph so he can sell it for a price. As a result, Rally kicks Tank in the buttocks. When Crow tells the story of the legendary man, Rally argues when Crow reaches the part about Sector Security and how people in Satellite give up hope. When Crow tells the kids to go to bed, the kids argue that Rally, "a kid who is still in his diapers", doesn't need to. Rally and co later witnessing the battle between Kalin and Yusei, Rally and the others tried to push Yusei's Duel Runner back to Martha's house. On the way, Rally and the others encountered thugs and gave them their Deck and clothes to pay a toll. They were then tricked by an old man who was just another thug and the thugs took off with the Duel Runner. Blister, impersonating Sector Security, managed to get the Duel Runner back, where they regroup at Marthas house while Dr. Schmidt performed surgery on Yusei's wounds.[5]
Later, a black fog appears and starts to consume Rally and the other citizens in Satellite to be used as pawns for the Dark Signers' nefarious purposes. Towards the end of Yusei's duel with Roman Goodwin, Roman realizes that he's about to lose the Shadow Duel and forces Rally to switch in and take his place. Not wanting to hurt Yusei, Rally summons "Turbo Booster Cannon" and uses its effect to destroy "Earthbound Immortal Uru" and inflict damage to himself equal to its ATK, losing so Yusei can survive and calling him the hope of Satellite. As he loses, he crumbles to dust in Yusei's arms and dies, telling him to protect Satellite.[6] After Yusei defeats Roman, he and the rest of the people from Satellite sacrificed to the Earthbound Immortals are resurrected.
Arc Cradle[edit]
Much later, he is seen cheering on Yusei in his duel with Z-one alongside Blitz, Nervin, and Tank. [7] He is seen one last time with the rest of his friends in a truck driven by Tank, as Nervin is annoyed by the lane they were driving on the highway becomes prioritized by a duel, while Rally happily proclaims dueling is a priority in the city. They are shocked to see it is Yusei and Jack dueling, as Rally cheers for Yusei as they pass. [8]
