'''Yuga Ohdo''' ({{Ruby|王|おう}}{{Ruby|道|どう}} {{Ruby|遊|ゆう}}{{Ruby|我|が}} ''Ōdō Yūga'') is the protagonist of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]'' anime. A young boy who loves Dueling and inventing, he is chosen by [[Otes]] to become the [[King of Games (title)|King of Duels]] and entrusted with the "[[Sevens Road Magician (anime)|Sevens Road Magician]]" card.<ref name="ep13">{{Episode|SEVENS|13|ref}}</ref> To break free from the rigidity of Goha Duels, he creates the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]]ing format in hopes of entertaining the world with it.<ref name="title" /><ref name="summary" />

At the climax of ''Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS'', Yuga and [[Kaizo]] vanish into space, returning to [[Earth (planet)|Earth]] after two years. Yuga reappears in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'' through unknown circumstances and is responsible for the creation of Rush Duels in the series, working at the [[Goha Company]] for [[Yuna Goha]]. He is responsible for giving [[Yudias Velgear]] his [[Duel Disk]] and cards, but was initially only referred to as "'''That Guy'''" (アイツ ''Aitsu'').

Yuga is a short young boy with spiky reddish-brown hair with a blonde M-shaped front, and green eyes. He wears a light red short-sleeved hooded jacket with a white lining and a large zipper, a white shirt with yellow crown-shaped patterns, black cargo shorts with a brown belt, dark blue finger-less gloves, and dark blue shoes with white laces, and light-red soles and lining. His hood has a zipper down the middle, which he usually keeps open to have the hood hang down his back in two triangular sections. In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'', Yuga wears a similar outfit, but simpler in form, a light red short-sleeved jacket, a white shirt, black shorts and blue shoes. He wears green-trimmed white athletics clothes while training at the [[Rush Duel Training Camp]].

[[File:YoungYugaOhdo.png|thumb|250px|A young Yuga.]]
During his younger years, Yuga wore a pink hoodie with white cuffs and drawstrings, as well as a kangaroo pocket that had thick white bars on either side. He also wore slightly rolled-up blue jeans and pinkish-red sneakers.

During his dream of [[Super Rush Robot|a Dueling robot]], Yuga imagines himself wearing a red-and-white jumpsuit with a red helmet and a green visor. Yuga wears a similar spacesuit when he boards the [[Mutsuba Spaceship Proto-RUSH]]. After being transferred to [[Goha 6 Elementary|Goha #6 Elementary]], Yuga wears their uniform; a largely blue tracksuit with a white trim and the character for "6" emblazoned on the back in red. While laboring at the Abandoned Dorm, he also wears a white hard-hat and gloves, a white scarf wrapped around his neck, and black boots. During [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]]'s Duel with [[Yujin Goha]], Yuga wears brick red beach shorts and an orange hoodie with a white lining. During the tryouts for the [[Goha Monsters]], Yuga wears a white baseball uniform with a long-sleeved green undershirt and green socks with white shinguards and a white cap. As a [[Goha Enterprises]] employee, Yuga wears the uniform worn by the rank-and-file employees; a sleeveless grey knee-length jacket with the Goha Enterprises logo over his heart, a short-sleeved blue collared shirt over along-sleeved charcoal one, charcoal pants, black shoes and a black belt with a Goha Enterprises logo for the buckle. He continues to wear his blue finger-less gloves and also occasionally wears the identity concealing mask worn by Goha employees.

[[File:Aitsu-Concept.png|thumb|250px|right|Lineart of Yuga in his armor in ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!''.]]
During his Duel with [[The Lukeman]], Yuga wears two different outfits to play along with The Lukeman's fantastical perception of the real world. The first is Yuga the Destructor (Majin Yuga in the Japanese version); Yuga's hair becomes sharper and spikier, adding orange spikes  between the usual layers and wearing purple eye makeup. He wears a full-body costume of golden armor that resembles thick scales, clawed gloves, and a dark teal cape with a red inner layer. The second outfit he dons is The Yugaman, which is composed of a [[Goha Enterprises Drone]] in the shape of a red helmet that leaves his face exposed, and a predominantly white costume with ovular padded limbs, black mechanical gloves, a red collar with studs, and red cuffs with studs around his wrists, femurs and ankles, in addition to a jetpack. In both costumes, he wears a belt with a "Y" patterned on the buckle.

[[File:YugaCat-Full.png|thumb|right|200px|Full-body view of Yuga as a cat.]]
In ''Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!'', Yuga also wears a suit of armor resembling the costume of [[Otes]]. He wears a white face-concealing helmet with a green diamond on the forehead between twin large amber lenses that cover most of his face, and a retractable mouthguard. Like his The Yugaman armor this armor is predominantly white with ovular padded limbs, black mechanical gloves, a large white collar, smooth yellow cuffs, a largely black torso and upper legs, red markings on the side of the torso, white shin guards, and a golden belt with a hexagonal buckle, in addition to a jetpack. His initial design of the armour more closely resembled Otes and The Yugaman. After being defeated by [[Phaser Ryugu]] and transformed into a card, Yuga is transformed into a brown cat with yellow bangs and a collar with a bell shaped like his helmet.

===Personality===
Yuga loves Dueling and inventing, but finds the Duels that adults play to be rigid and uncool, inspiring him to create [[Rush Duel]]s. Yuga claims that he wants to take back everyone's smiles from the strict Dueling world that they find themselves in. To this end, Yuga challenges the rules and established standards of [[Goha City]], claiming that his penalties are badges of a challenger, and later states that even if Rush Duels were deleted that he'd never give up on trying to install them.<ref name="ep1">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|1|ref}}</ref> Yuga often expresses a desire to make people smile, similar to [[Yuya Sakaki]]. He has a habit of terming his creations "roads", and is often distracted by tinkering around. His love of tinkering and inventing is so potent that his friends believed he would eagerly accept their offer to use their [[Duel ID cards]] to create [[Maximum Monster]]s, and they are surprised when Yuga initially refuses to avoid erasing their accounts.

Yuga generally remains upbeat and cheerful in most situations. When Dueling the [[Otes|Hologram Man]], Yuga is excited to battle the legendary "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime Rush Duel)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]", though not to the point that he forgets the danger it presents to him.<ref name="ep1" /> Despite the nature of the situation, Yuga is also unfailingly polite when dealing with [[Roa Kassidy]]'s blackmail of his cousin, casually evaluating the situation without a care. He is dismayed however when [[Mimi Imimi]] appeared to have lied to him about her interest in Rush Dueling. Yuga is shown to express nervousness at being unable to work his way out of a pinch in a Duel despite the confidence his friends have in him, and is terrified and shocked when [[Nail Saionji]] performs a [[Maximum Summon]] during their Duel, becoming more and more unnerved as Nail explained his views on providence. His loss to Nail shakes him, though Yuga initially tries to laugh it off as bad luck before receiving a stern rebuke from Roa. Subsequently when he is defeated by [[Yuo Goha]]'s [[Fusion Summon]]ing in much the same way Yuga is instead excited over the possibilities it presents, especially when Yuo admits he doesn't know the origins of the "[[Fusion (anime Rush Duel)|Fusion]]" card. He is shown to be a very loyal friend; when Gavin tries to have Rush Dueling banned at [[Goha 7 Elementary|Goha #7 Elementary]], Yuga is still eager to have a fun Duel with him despite the situation, and though he deduced that Romin was spying on him he treated her normally. Yuga later went to extreme measures to help [[Asana Mutsuba]] understand the benefits of modification due to the rapport they struck despite her intention to crush Rush Dueling. This does have its limits however, as he freely admits that he wouldn't give up the title of [[King of Games|King of Duels]] to [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]].

Yuga doesn't initially have any personal interest in trying to become the King of Duels and hadn't even heard of the legend to become it when Luke told him about it; he instead decides to Duel Otes for a chance to install Rush Dueling, and after succeeding, his focus is on the road that has opened before him. In comparison to Luke, who wants to use Rush Dueling to become the King of Duels, Yuga simply wants people to enjoy them and he encourages both Romin and Gavin to enjoy Rush Dueling during his matches with them. He modified one of his Roads into the [[Duel Guitar]] after seeing Romin enjoy it to encourage her to enjoy music and Rush Dueling together, and gave his notebook to Mimi in the hopes it would allow her to enjoy Rush Dueling more. Even after defeating the Hologram Man, Yuga passes up the chance for the title to Luke and starts tinkering around with Kaizo. However, Yuga is confident in his skills at Rush Dueling due to creating the ruleset. Yuga is also pleased that his actions have inspired other people to create their own Dueling rules and tends to be trusting of people that claim to enjoy them. He even doesn't have any desire to own the format despite inventing it, freely agreeing to wager the rights to Rush Dueling in a Rush Duel with Roa. After the reappearance of Otes and his explanation of his goals however, Yuga develops an interest in the title due to the road it has set him on, though he emphasizes that he does not want the title just because Otes chose him and dislikes the notion that Otes may be manipulating him. Even then, Yuga doesn't mind if other people wish to attain the title themselves, though he does draw the line at Luke asking him to give it to him if Yuga obtained it and Luke didn't. However, he refuses to enter the [[Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal]], with his friends believing that he did so to allow them to pursue their dreams. After he does enter he is eager to Duel Luke again and overjoyed to be in the final match with him, and throws a frustrated tantrum when he eventually loses, having been so sure he would win.

Yuga is more intelligent and cunning than he lets on despite his fun-loving nature and often keeps his thoughts to himself. He remodeled Kaizo in a single night and used it to livestream his Rush Duel with Luke without telling him, aware of the latter's Pauli effect-like power. Yuga was also aware of the Pauli effect, suggesting that despite challenging the established rules and generally being excited to Duel, he pays attention in school. He tricks Romin into accepting a Rush Duel with him by suggesting that she wouldn't be able to defeat him, and was well aware that she was spying on him and quickly deduced that she was doing so under duress from Roa.<ref name="ep3">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|3|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep11">{{Episode|SEVENS|11|ref}}</ref> He similarly deduced [[Mimi Imimi]]'s identity, though he didn't realize she was an adult. He also suggests to the [[Newspaper Club]] that Goha could shut them down in an effort to coerce them into changing their article contents.<ref name="ep5">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|5|ref}}</ref> Despite this, Yuga is also quite innocent, as he does not understand the implications of Mimi's [[Bubble Era]] monsters nor Luke's congratulations when he asks Romin to come to the Road Laboratory.<ref name="ep3" /><ref name="ep7">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|7|ref}}</ref>

Yuga is terrified of ladybugs due to an incident in his youth where [[Nana Nanahoshi]] claimed her ladybug hat was a ladybug that was eating her from the head down. As a result a ladybug touching him causes him to react violently and freeze in terror. When he met Nana again and saw her hat he was so terrified that he threatened to overload the power plant of the [[Goha Enterprises Main Office]] just to destroy the ladybug, continuously insisting to himself that ladybugs weren't scary.

During the course of Yu-Gi-Oh! Go Rush, Yuga tends to display a sense of mystery to his actions as he often arrives and leaves swiftly before others can take notice, in a similar manner to Otes.

===Voice/Mannerisms===
Yuga is the first protagonist since [[Yugi Muto]] to use the personal pronoun ''boku''; all other protagonists have used ''ore''. He speaks casually, but politely, using "kimi" to address most people, but he uses the more casual and dismissive "omae" to address Kaizo and "anata" to address Otes, a more direct addressing.

===Etymology===
As with all previous ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' protagonists, Yuga's name contains the character「遊」(Yu). His first name effectively translates to "My Game" and his last name to "Royal Road", tying into his habit of calling his creations "roads" and fulfilling the legend of the one who opened the road to becoming the King of Duels.

==Biography==
===Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS===
====History====
In his childhood, Yuga was friends with [[Nana Nanahoshi]]. While they were eating lunch in the woods one day, Yuga offered to trade her a riceball for one of her sandwiches, but found that Nana had disappeared and heard her crying that she was being eaten alive by a ladybug on her head. The sight traumatized Yuga, who developed a fear of ladybugs as a result.<ref name="ep70">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|70|ref}}</ref>

Yuga came to love ''[[Duel Monsters]]'', but the more he continued Dueling, the more he realized how strict it was. He attended the [[666th Goha Dueling Tournament]] in his youth, disheartened by the strict Duels there, but had an epiphany when he saw [[Otes]] Duel in the tournament with "[[Sevens Road Magician (anime)|Sevens Road Magician]]", talking about cutting open a new road and pressing onward. Otes made his way to the finals, but was then disqualified. As he was taken backstage, Otes noticed Yuga and told him to follow the road in his heart, before throwing him the "Sevens Road Magician" card.<ref name="ep12">{{episode|YuGi-Oh! SEVENS|12|ref}}</ref>

Inspired by his meeting with Otes, Yuga came up with [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]]s, aiming to take back everyone's smiles.<ref name="ep1" /> He even left room in the code, hoping that people would one day add new rules of their own.<ref name="ep24">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|24|ref}}</ref> However, Yuga found it difficult to install the rules for Rush Dueling into his [[Duel Disk]], accumulating four penalties in his attempts.<ref name="ep1" /> He also worked to obtain more "[[Sevens Road]]" cards to accompany "Sevens Road Magician" in his Deck.<ref name="ep13" />

====Birth of Rush Duels====
After dreaming about piloting a [[Super Rush Robot|Duel Robot]], Yuga attempted to install [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duels]] into his [[Duel Disk]] for the fifth time, with a [[Goha Enterprises Drone]] alerted by the violation and timing him. Although he came close to installing the rules, he ran out of time once again and was penalized for the fifth time. The next day at [[Goha 7 Elementary|school]], Yuga told [[Ricky]] and [[Katz]] about his penalty the next day, attracting the attention of [[Gavin Sogetsu]], who asked about Yuga's [[Duel-cycle]] and lectured him for opening his Duel Disk. Yuga attempted to explain Rush Dueling to Gavin, but class started before he could and Gavin told him to come to the Student Council Room after class. Yuga instead headed home, declining Ricky and Katz's requests to Duel, but ran into [[Lucidien Kallister|Lucidien "Luke" Kallister]], who asked to speak with Yuga. Yuga declined Luke's request at well, but suddenly found his Duel-cycle wasn't working. Luke then claimed he knew somewhere Yuga could install his new rules, catching Yuga's attention. Luke took Yuga to the [[Hologram Man's chamber]], telling him about the legend of the [[King of Games (title)|King of Duels]], though Yuga was unfamiliar with it. Luke suggested Yuga's Rush Dueling could properly defeat the [[Otes|Hologram Man]] where Luke had failed, as the legend spoke of illuminating a new path.<ref name="ep1" /> Yuga recognized the Hologram Man as a depiction of Otes, but he kept this to himself.<ref name="ep12" /> Seeing that Luke had used up all six penalties, Yuga decided to bet on his last penalty and he began installing Rush Dueling into his Duel Disk again. Gavin and a [[Kaizo|Goha Enterprises Drone]] both arrived, and [[Romin Kassidy]] revealed herself. Luke deactivated the Drone as Yuga finished his preparations, though he hadn't installed them properly yet. To Yuga's horror, his Duel Disk's battery began dying, so Gavin retrieved Yuga's Duel-cycle to power the Disk. The Drone reactivated, so Romin suggested that Yuga could use [[Real-Time Duel Programming]] to finish installing Rush Dueling. Yuga then challenged the Hologram Man to a Rush Duel, and he accepted Yuga's challenge. Although Yuga brought out three monsters on his first turn, the Hologram Man [[Tribute Summon]]ed "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime Rush Duel)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" and destroyed all of Yuga's monsters, reducing him to 1000 [[LP]]. Gavin and Luke worried that Yuga would lose, but Yuga explained to them that players drew until they held five cards in Rush Dueling, though he still didn't draw the card he needed. He used the effect of "[[Mystic Dealer (anime)|Mystic Dealer]]" to draw another card, drawing "[[Sevens Road Magician (anime)|Sevens Road Magician]]" at last and Tribute Summoning it. Yuga began powering up "Sevens Road" with his [[Spell Card]]s and its effect, successfully filling his [[Graveyard]] with all six [[Attribute]]s and increasing it to 7000 ATK, destroying "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and defeating the Hologram Man, installing Rush Dueling. The Hologram Man congratulated Yuga, telling him that a new road would open, and Yuga and Luke's penalties were erased, while Luke and Gavin's Duel Disks transformed into Rush Duel mode as a door opened before them.<ref name="ep1" /> Yuga realized that the door was a hologram, so he told Luke that he should be the one to take the path; Luke did so and promptly bumped into the Hologram Man's dais. As Luke explained what the King of Duels was, Yuga started tinkering with the Goha Enterprises Drone, noting that it was surprisingly easy. Luke asked Yuga to keep Rush Dueling a secret so that Goha Enterprises wouldn't delete it.<ref name="ep2">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|2|ref}}</ref>

Yuga didn't want to abandon his dream to allow everyone to experience Rush Dueling, so he finished modifying the Drone to obey him. He told his friends about Rush Dueling the next day at school, prompting Luke to yank him under a desk to try and impart on Yuga the importance of keeping Rush Dueling a secret, until Romin suggested Yuga and Luke settle their dispute with a Duel. Gavin warned them that they would only be able to Duel until the end of recess, though Yuga was confident that he would win the Duel in time. Although Luke had asked Yuga to keep Rush Dueling a secret if he lost, Yuga concealed the modified Drone behind Gavin and had it livestream their match. He started with a bad hand, only being able to Summon "[[Dark Sorcerer (anime)|Dark Sorcerer]]", while Luke Summoned three [[Dragon]]s and set himself up to wipe out Yuga's LP in one turn with the effects of his "[[Twin Edge Dragon (anime)|Twin Edge Dragon]]s", though Yuga was able to survive the turn. During the Duel, Luke explained his skills and powers as the result of a demon possessing him, though Yuga believed the Pauli effect and simple practice to be responsible. Yuga assembled "[[Torna the Windweaver (anime)|Torna the Windweaver]]" and "Sevens Road Magician", setting himself up for a win if he excavated a [[FIRE]] or LIGHT monster, but he excavated a [[Spell Card]] instead, leaving Luke with 100 LP after his attacks. Luke Summoned his own ace monster, "[[Multistrike Dragon Dragias (anime)|Multistrike Dragon Dragias]]", which Yuga realized possessed a multi-attacking effect. Yuga believed he'd be able to survive the turn with his "[[Dark Revelation (anime)|Dark Revelation]]" [[Trap Card]], but Luke destroyed it, then attacked both of Yuga's monsters, winning the Duel. Romin revealed that the Rush Duel was on the net, and Yuga admitted he'd used his modified Drone to livestream the Duel. He explained that he'd never give up trying to let everyone enjoy Rush Dueling, and Luke came to terms with the idea, asking Yuga if he'd let Luke win on purpose, though Yuga refused to answer.<ref name="ep2"/>

When Yuga was heading to school, Luke stopped his Duel-cycle and told him that the videos of their Rush Duel had been deleted. Yuga was unconcerned, but Luke worried that Goha were observing them and he began looking into Romin, believing that she was working for Goha. Yuga agreed that Romin was suspicious, so he used one of his Roads to ask if she was hiding anything, though it failed to determine if she was when she asked a question instead of making a statement. Yuga invited Romin to the Road Laboratory, though he was confused by Gavin and Luke's reactions. Romin agreed to come after Yuga confirmed that he invented Rush Dueling there, and Yuga's Drone greeted them when they arrived. Upon seeing Romin, the Drone asked for her autograph and asked for a name for her to sign it to; Yuga quickly came up with the name "Kaizo". He showed Romin his various Roads, though he admitted Rush Dueling was his best and suggested Romin tried it. Romin initially refused until Yuga implied that she wouldn't be able to win, and as soon as she agreed Yuga lent her his spare Deck for the Duel. Yuga tried being energetic throughout the Duel, but was distracted by Luke struggling with Gavin. He brought out "Sevens Road Magician" on his first turn and reduced Romin to 1300 LP, prompting Kaizo, who was supporting Romin and insulting Yuga, to tell him to go easy on Romin; Yuga protested that he couldn't, but reassured Romin that she could always make a comeback in a Rush Duel. To Yuga's shock, Romin proceeded to do so with a card Yuga hadn't given to her; "[[Prima Guitarna the Shining Superstar (anime)|Prima Guitarna the Shining Superstar]]", who boosted the ATK of all of Romin's monsters and allowed her to destroy Yuga's, reducing him to 600 LP. Yuga was caught completely off-guard and drew a dead hand, but gambled on using "[[Recovery Force (anime)|Recovery Force]]" to shuffle "Sevens Road Magician" back into his Deck and attempt to re-draw it. Yuga succeeded, and he powered-up "Sevens Road Magician" and destroyed "Prima Guitarna", defeating Romin. Luke and Gavin noted that Yuga could have won without using the "Elemental Road" effect of "Sevens Road", though Yuga claimed that an ace should battle an ace. Romin admitted that she'd enjoyed the Duel, so Yuga took out his tools to reset Kaizo for being rude.<ref name="ep3" /> Despite Romin's apparent innocence, Yuga still suspected that Romin was spying on him.<ref name="ep11" />

Luke suggested making a Rush Dueling promo video, so Yuga rushed off to enlist Gavin to film the video, though complications arose when Romin refused to sing for it. Yuga asked if Gavin could sing the anthem, but this proved to be a poor idea due to Gavin's tone-deafness. Despite their roadblocks, Yuga and Luke were able to produce a good video, which Yuga had Kaizo like several thousand times to boost its profile. He asked Gavin if they could make time for Rush Dueling, but Gavin instead announced his intentions to prohibit Rush Dueling. Yuga suggested that they settle the matter with a Duel, though Luke added the condition that Gavin had to step down if he lost. Gavin wanted to Duel right away, but they had to wait until after school when Gavin finished his duties. Gavin Dueled Yuga with his Sogetsu style, having [[Rayne Nanahoshi|Rayne]] and [[Rino Nanahoshi]] carry out his moves, but only Set a single monster; Yuga subsequently brought out three monsters and swiftly reduced Gavin to 2000 LP. Gavin began arguing with Rayne as Yuga laughed in enjoyment at the Duel, prompting Rino to angrily ask if he was mocking them. Yuga clarified his intentions and stated he wanted to Duel the real Gavin and urged him to enjoy the match. Gavin Tribute Summoned his ace monster, "[[Yamiruler the Dark Delayer (anime)|Yamiruler the Dark Delayer]]", and used its effect to prevent them from Tribute Summoning Level 7 or higher monsters, sealing off "Sevens Road Magician" and reducing Yuga to 300 LP. Yuga was able to bypass the effect of "Yamiruler" by [[Special Summon]]ing "Sevens Road" with the effect of "[[Sevens Road Witch (anime)|Sevens Road Witch]]", destroying "Yamiruler" and defeating Gavin. He told Gavin that he didn't need to step down as Luke had been selfish, but Gavin stepped down anyway, though he soon regained his position after defeating Luke in the emergency election. Following Gavin's re-election, Yuga modified Kaizo to stamp Gavin's paperwork and ease his workload.<ref name="ep4">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|4|ref}}</ref>

Gavin alerted Yuga and Luke to more Rush Duel videos being deleted, and Yuga noted that the Goha were likely responsible. When they got to school that day, the [[Newspaper Club]] interviewed them; Yuga was open to the prospect as an analog medium would be more difficult for Goha to censor. Romin warned Yuga that the Newspaper Club didn't have the best reputation; sure enough, the Newspaper Club published an article decrying Rush Duels as childish and simple. Although disheartened, Yuga was encouraged by the effect physical media seemed to have on the students, so they visited the Newspaper Club's office to have the article changed. The Newspaper Club refused, so Yuga implied that Goha could shut the paper down, starling the club's chief, [[Scoop Pitman]], into agreeing to Duel over the article's content. Yuga was eager to Rush Duel Scoop, but Luke asked to Duel instead, so Yuga allowed him to. Before the Duel, Yuga was forced to restrain Kaizo after he began suggesting Romin should wear glasses like [[Cub]] did. Luke was pushed into a corner by Scoop, worrying Gavin and Romin, though Yuga still believed in Luke's chances to win the Duel. Luke was able to destroy Scoop's "[[Printing Presser (anime)|Printing Presser]]s" and bring out "Dragias", defeating him. Scoop, who had come to enjoy Rush Dueling, agreed to change the article, and Yuga was pleased to see its positive reception among the other students, though he wasn't happy to see that Luke had requested a photo painting him as lording over him, Gavin and Romin.<ref name="ep5" />

When Yuga arrived at school one morning, Luke showed him the newspaper, asking him to help come up with a name for his new column, but Yuya was horrified to see that the [[Ramen Hut]] was closing down, and he, Gavin, Romin and Kaizo hurried to the restaurant. The despondent owner explained that he would be closing after making one last bowl of ramen due to competition from the new [[GastroByte]], so Yuga decided to investigate the competition, though he was refused entry due to being considered a troublemaker, a system that impressed him. Gavin was refused entry as well, so Yuga disguised Kaizo as a home delivery robot to allow him to infiltrate GastroByte and learn of its talking points. Yuga suggested giving Ramen Hut a talking point of its own using various Roads, but all his attempts failed. [[Saburamen]] then arrived, recognizing Yuga from the Goha 7th Newspaper despite being from [[Goha 3 Elementary|Goha #3 Elementary]], and he expressed a desire to create rules of his own; impressing Yuga with how far the newspaper had reached. Saburamen ordered the last bowl of ramen, unaware of its significance, so Yuga asked if he could have the bowl, as he liked the ramen from the restaurant, but after hearing that Yuga preferred udon, Saburamen refused to give Yuga the last ramen unless he defeated him in a Rush Duel. Yuga quickly Summoned "Sevens Road Magician" against Saburamen's "Noodle Ninja" monsters, but Saburamen reduced its ATK to prevent him from attacking; the shopkeeper made the last ramen as they Dueled. Saburamen launched a strong offensive on the next turn with his "[[Spice the Elite Noodle Ninja (anime)|Spice the Elite Noodle Ninja]]", but Yuga was able to [[Magic Fire Guard (anime)|prevent]] "Sevens Road" from being destroyed and remain in the Duel. He combined "Sevens Road" with his "Road Magic" cards to reduce Saburamen's LP and switch "Spice" to Defense Position, allowing him to increase the ATK of "Sevens Road" and use "Pierce!" against the 0 DEF "Spice" and defeat Saburamen just as the last ramen was finished. Yuga offered to share it with everyone, but Luke had arrived and ate the ramen himself. Fortunately, the shopkeeper had been inspired by the Duel to continue making ramen, and with Saburamen's help the restaurant became popular again. Having realized Saburamen's wish to create his own Dueling rules was sincere, Yuga took him to the Hologram Man's chamber, only to find it empty.<ref name="ep6" />

A new student, [[Mimi Imimi]], transferred to Yuga and Romin's class, claiming to love Rush Dueling and that she had learned about Yuga and his friends through the Goha 7th Newspaper. Yuga was eager to befriend Mimi, but Gavin and Luke were more suspicious as there were no records of Mimi's previous school. Mimi offered the group gifts to get to know them better, though Yuga refused Mimi's offer of cash. He took her to the Road Laboratory, but Mimi answered a call from a phone in her bag and left abruptly. Romin convinced Yuga to wait if Mimi returned to steal his notebook, and to Yuga's dismay, Mimi did indeed return and they caught her taking his notebook. Mimi claimed she had only wanted to know more about Rush Dueling, so Yuga offered to lend her the notebook, telling her she should have simply asked. Mimi abruptly refused to take the notebook, so they decided to settle the matter with a Rush Duel. Yuga brought out "Sevens Road Magician" early and combined it with "Pierce!" to deplete most of the LP Mimi had gained, but Mimi Summoned her ace monster "[[Dian Keto the Boogie Master (anime)|Dian Keto the Boogie Master]]" and [[Triple Threat Thunder (anime)|reduced the]] ATK of "Sevens Road", allowing "Dian Keto" to destroy it, though Yuga was able to destroy Mimi's monsters with "Dark Revelation". He Tribute Summoned "[[Raidacross, Hero of the Dawn (anime)|Raidacross, Hero of the Dawn]]" on his next turn, but this allowed Mimi to revive "Dian Keto", so Yuga combined "Lydracross" with "[[Hilt, the Bearer of Noble Arms (anime)|Hilt, the Bearer of Noble Arms]]", destroying "Dian Keto" then winning the Duel with direct attacks. As he'd won the Duel, Yuga lent Mimi his notebook, promising that she would love Rush Dueling even more after reading it.<ref name="ep7" />

Yuga took Kaizo to investigate the Hologram Man's chamber with Gavin and Luke, but they found no traces of [[the Relic]] that had projected the Hologram Man. As they left the chamber, they searched for a vending machine to help endure the day's heat, finding Romin having emptied one. As they headed for one across the street, they were opposed by [[Yosh Imimi]], who claimed to have a grudge against Luke and refused to let them near the vending machine unless Luke defeated him in a Rush Duel. Yosh pushed Luke into a corner with his use of a [[Field Spell Card]], revealing that his grudge stemmed from Luke's advice leading from his mother forbidding him to Rush Duel and threatening not to make his favorite napolitan spaghetti. He reduced Luke to 500 LP and destroyed "Multistrike Dragon Dragias", but Luke was able to come back with "[[Dragonic Slayer (anime)|Dragonic Slayer]]" and destroy Yosh's "[[Apocalypse - Beast Gear World (anime)|Apocalypse - Beast Gear World]]", defeating him. Yosh expressed admiration over Rush Dueling afterwards and of Yuga after learning he'd created them, though Gavin pointed out they still needed to convince Yosh's mother to let him Rush Duel. Yuga offered to help with a Road, but Yosh declined his offer after Luke asked if this was what he really wanted.<ref name="ep8">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|8|ref}}</ref>

Yuga tested a noise-cancelling Road made from a guitar at a construction site, hoping to cancel out the construction noise with another noise. Some time afterwards, Luke told him about "[[Gossie]]", a dinosaur that had apparently been created by Goha Enterprises which had appeared in the city. Eager to go on an adventure to find Gossie, Yuga modified Kaizo to detect an adventurous spirit, which led them to the Ramen Hut. They met the [[Goha 2 Elementary|Goha #2 Elementary]] [[Duel Dinosaur Club]], led by [[Professor Diggs]], who was also looking for Gossie with the help of [[Tracker]] and [[Trench]]. Trench suggested they team up, and Yuga enthusiastically agreed, though their search bore little fruit, despite Kaizo continuing to react. Gavin eventually suggested that Gossie could be near the Relic, but after Luke and the Dueling & Dinosaur Club went to the bathroom, Luke returned and revealed that the Duel Dinosaur Club were planning to use Gossie for money. Despite this, Yuga offered to tell them where the Relic was if Diggs could defeat him in a Rush Duel. Diggs accepted his challenge, beginning by swarming the field with [[Aqua]] monsters. Yuga was able to gain an early lead and destroy all of Diggs's monsters, but Diggs came back with his [[Dinosaur]] monsters, Summoning "[[Super King Rex (anime)|Super King Rex]]" and destroying all of Yuga's monsters. Yuga noted that Diggs's enthusiasm was genuine and unlike the duplicity he'd shown before, citing Kaizo's detection of Diggs's adventurous spirit as proof. Diggs agreed, and Tracker suggested they look at the construction site where Gossie had reportedly been spotted. This caused Yuga to realize that "Gossie" was likely a product of his noise-cancelling Road, and he suggested they stop looking for Gossie, as he didn't want to disappoint Diggs and his friends, though Luke simply accepted Yuga's wish to stop and teamed up with the Duel Dinosaur Club. Yuga decided to stop them by winning the Duel, and he brought out "[[Full Meteor Impact (anime)|Full Meteor Impact]]" to destroy Diggs's Dinosaurs. However, Diggs was able to protect "Super King Rex" from destruction and increase its ATK to 4000, forcing Yuga to reduce its ATK and increase the ATK of "Sevens Road Magician" high enough to defeat Diggs. Despite Yuga's victory, Luke and the Duel Dinosaur Club still went to the construction site and learned the truth behind Gossie, much to their anger. As they berated Yuga over the confusion he had inadvertently caused, Romin strummed the guitar and blasted them all with the sonic wave as no other sound was being inputted. To make it up to the Duel Dinosaur Club, Yuga took them to the Hologram Man's chamber, where Tracker sneezed, revealing seven emblems that had been carved into the floor of the chamber.<ref name="ep9">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|9|ref}}</ref> Yuga enlisted the help of Diggs, Tracker and Trench in examining the emblems, and they overlayed them to create the logo of the [[Big Seven Arena]], which Yuga theorized would be where the Relic would appear next.<ref name="ep13" /> Having taken note of Romin's apparent interest in the guitar that made up his noise-cancelling Road, Yuga began to modify it to function as a Duel Disk, terming it the [[Duel Guitar]], while Luke and Gavin examined photos of the emblems at the Road Laboratory. Luke's suggestion that one of the emblems resembled "Dragias" attracted Yuga's attention, but before they could examine the emblems more closely, Romin told them she was leaving and gave them VIP tickets to the weekend's [[RoaRomin]] concert at the Big Seven Arena, and though he was initially hesitant, Yuga eagerly agreed to come, privately theorizing that the Hologram Man would appear due to the concert taking place on a full moon.<ref name="ep13" /><ref name="ep10">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|10|ref}}</ref>

Yuga finished the Duel Guitar before the concert and he and Kaizo joined Gavin and Luke at the Big Seven Arena, discussing the disused building's age. They met Romin in her dressing room, and Yuga presented the Duel Guitar to Romin, explaining why he'd made it and hoping she could enjoy both music and Rush Dueling with it. Gavin had also brought Romin flowers, but Luke hadn't bought anything and rushed off to find something despite Romin's protests. He soon screamed in terror, and Yuga, Kaizo and Gavin left Romin in her dressing room and left to find Luke, finding him sitting in a dark corridor. Luke seemed convinced Romin was in danger, and she had left the dressing room by the time they got back, though the concert began before they could look for Romin. They took their seats, and Mimi, who had come to watch the concert on her own, joined them in the VIP section as RoaRomin's leader and Romin's cousin [[Roa Kassidy]] took the stage and announced his intention to Rush Duel Yuga for the rights to Rush Duels and become the King of Duels. Yuga accepted Roa's challenge, as he didn't mind whether or not Rush Dueling belonged to him and saw the event as a publicity boost for the format. Roa suggested they have a three-vs.-three team Duel, so Luke volunteered to Duel first, facing RoaRomin's bassist, [[Toombs]]. Toombs's ghost stories scared Yuga as he Summoned his [[Zombie]] monsters, but Yuga soon became distracted by the Duel, as Toombs's monsters had zero ATK. Toombs controlled the Duel, steadily depleting Luke's LP and restricting his move while scaring him by shouting his name, and eventually Luke realized that Toombs was calling his name, not shouting "Behind you!" after Toombs activated his "[[It's Right Behind You! (anime)|It's Right Behind You!]]" Trap. He was able to win by bringing out "Dragias" and "[[Shock Dragon (anime)|Shock Dragon]]", scoring one win for Yuga's team, though Roa promised the next Duel wouldn't be so easy.<ref name="ep10" /> Yuga volunteered to Duel, until Gavin asked to be allowed to Duel. Gavin's opponent was Romin, who claimed to have been spying on them of her own accord, and Kaizo once again sided with her, much to Yuga's irritation. Kaizo mocked Yuga for not realizing he was being spied on, prompting Yuga to confirm he'd been aware of Romin's duplicity and warn Roa not to blackmail Romin. Romin protested that she was acting of her own accord, though Yuga was more interested that Romin was using the Duel Guitar. Gavin swiftly gained an early lead over Romin with "Yamiruler the Dark Delayer", but Yuga noticed that Romin seemed hungry and tried to encourage her to eat the chocolate bar hidden in the Duel Guitar, though she was unable to hear him over her guitar playing. Saburamen and his friends [[Briscoe]] and [[Sushiko Maki]] then arrived to cater for the event, and the abundance of food caused Romin to snap and Duel in a frenzied hunger. Yuga once again tried to get Romin to open the Duel Guitar's compartment, but she didn't hear him in her hunger and she defeated Gavin, releasing the chocolate bar in her celebrations and catching it in her mouth. Romin returned to normal after eating the bar, and Yuga explained the guitar's function to her and asked what secret Roa was holding over her. Romin protested that it was nothing, as she couldn't tell him since it was a secret, confirming Yuga's suspicions that Romin was being blackmailed. Roa then declared that he and Yuga would Duel next.<ref name="ep11" />

Before the Duel, Saburamen and his friends apologized to Yuga for their role in Gavin's defeat, though Yuga and Gavin both reassured them that Roa wouldn't have taken two defeats lying down. Romin tried to warn Yuga that he couldn't win his Duel with Roa, though Yuga was confident that they wouldn't know until the Rush Duel ended. After Roa theatrically introduced them to the audience, they began their Duel, though Roa [[Set]] all the cards in his hand on his first turn and commented that Yuga didn't understand he couldn't win. Yuga replied that Roa was the one who didn't understand, asking what was so great about owning Rush Duels. On his turn, Yuga Summoned "Raidacross" and combined it with "Hilt" and "Hydro Magician" as he had against Mimi, something Luke praised as serious, though Roa claimed Yuga wasn't being serious if he didn't bring out "Sevens Road Magician". Yuga destroyed Roa's Set monsters and damaged his LP, though Roa was able to blunt the damage and force Yuga to draw a card with his "[[King's Management]]" Trap, asking if he'd drawn "Sevens Road". Yuga noted Roa's interest in his ace monster, and Roa asked where he'd got it, so Yuga recounted the tale of how he'd met Otes (whose image Roa had projected on the screen, informing his friends that Yuga had met him in the past). Roa emphasized that Otes had been disqualified and suggested that it had been due to "Sevens Road Magician" being an illegal card. One of the [[Top of the Hexagon|Tops of the Hexagon]] then arrived and asked if Roa was sure if "Sevens Road" was illegal, though she was able to find any information on the card. Roa explained that if Yuga drew "Sevens Road Magician" he would lose, shocking Yuga for the first time. Though his friends began to doubt him, Luke rallied them to search for information on "Sevens Road Magician" and encouraged Yuga to keep Dueling. Roa then began using hand destruction techniques to force Yuga to draw more cards and amplify his chances of drawing "Sevens Road Magician" on his next turn, and he succeeded in doing so.<ref name="ep12" />

As Yuga was about to be disqualified, the Relic emerged from the ground as Yuga had hoped it would. As the Duel Dinosaur Club began examining the Relic, Yuga explained to his friends that he had theorized it would appear at the Hall, and his deductions were praised by the Hologram Man, who materialized from the Relic and confirmed that he was Otes. Yosh then arrived with the Newspaper Club at Luke's request, and they played news footage of Otes' disqualification that clarified Otes had been disqualified for being a Goha employee; Otes himself confirmed that he had created "Sevens Road Magician" as an employee of Goha and that it was a legal card, much to Yuga's joy. Roa was revealed to have been obstructing information on "Sevens Road Magician" on the web, and Romin noticed Roa in the footage of the 666th Goha Dueling Tournament, causing Yuga to realize that Roa's true goal had been to talk to Otes as well. Roa asked Otes why he hadn't been chosen to be King of Duels despite being at the tournament, though Luke claimed Roa's underhanded tactics disqualified him. Despite this, Yuga stated that Roa could still be the King and asked Otes if they could bet the title on the Rush Duel. Otes accepted Yuga's idea, but warned him that losing would prevent him from becoming the King of Duels. Continuing the Duel, Yuga Tribute Summoned "Sevens Road Witch" and used her effect to Special Summon "Sevens Road Magician", which unleashed the full power of its "Elemental Road" effect, though Roa negated its attack. Despite the setback, Yuga was pleased, as he felt the Rush Duel wouldn't have been as interesting if he'd won then. On his next turn, Roa reduced the ATK of "Sevens Road Magician" and Tribute Summoned his own ace, "[[Royal Rebel's Heavy Metal (anime)|Royal Rebel's Heavy Metal]]", destroying "Sevens Road Witch" and absorbing her ATK and attacking "Sevens Road Magician", though Yuga was able to stay in the Duel with "Curtain of Sparks". On his next turn, Yuga drew "[[Sevens Road Mage (anime)|Sevens Road Mage]]" and was able to return "Sevens Road Magician" to his field, though Roa prevented "Sevens Road Magician" from using its special ability. Yuga took advantage of the high number of monsters Roa had sent to his Graveyard to lower the ATK of "Heavy Metal", allowing him to defeat Roa. After the Duel, Yuga thanked Roa for the match, stating that it was the most exciting Duel he'd had. Roa agreed to Duel Yuga again at some point, and asked the crowd to congratulate him. The Relic then vanished into the ground before Goha could capture it, Otes telling Yuga that he had only taken his first steps to becoming the King of Duels. Yuga admitted that he hadn't been interested in the title before, but he was now as his road had set him on it. As Otes vanished, he told Yuga to look for the key to a new world. Later at the Road Laboratory, Luke and Gavin were pressing Romin for the secret Roa had been holding over her, which Yuga had already deduced to be that she was tone-deaf, much to Romin's embarrassment.<ref name="ep13" />

====Maximum====
[[Romin Kassidy|Romin]] and [[Gavin Sogetsu|Gavin]] came to Yuga for advice on how to get [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]] to accept Romin's apology for spying on them while Yuga was working on a modification for the [[Duel-cycle]]. Yuga wasn't surprised to hear Luke was being stubborn and suggested cooking something for him to apologize. He connected [[Kaizo]] to the Duel-cycle and had Kaizo search Luke's favorite food, which was discovered to be curry rice, but after Romin thanked Kaizo it drove away in excitement with Yuga frantically running after it. He found Kaizo in Robot Mode Dueling against three [[Goha Enterprises Drone]]s combined into TO-3 mode and watched the Duel quietly. Kaizo eventually won the Duel, but then transformed back into the Duel-cycle and remained unresponsive until Yuga suggested they check on Romin and flew off, leaving the drained Duel-cycle behind. As they went to [[Roa Kassidy's apartment]], where Romin was doing her cooking, they ran into Luke on the way, who asked if Yuga wanted to Duel. Yuga instead took the opportunity to take Luke to the apartment to get him to taste Romin's cooking, though Luke was not happy to see Romin and tried to leave until he smelled Romin's cooking. Yuga was quite surprised to see the curry Romin had made was blue, but Luke seemed to enjoy it and Yuga eventually tried some as well, admitting that it was unusual, but tasted nice. After Luke dubbed it "[[Dragias Curry]]", Romin added more spices to the curry, but this resulted in the entire apartment becoming filled with blue curry.<ref name="ep14">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|14|ref}}</ref>

As Yuga was rebuilding his Deck at school after almost being late one day, Kaizo came to him, Luke, Romin and Gavin with news of [[the Relic]]'s next location. Kaizo took them to the harbor, claiming the Relic would appear on an island, and they boarded a ship that was heading there. To their shock, the ship's captain, [[Skipjack]], informed them that they were on the [[Goha Aquatic Elementary]] and would not return for a month. The Duel-cycle was then fished out of one of Skipjack's nets in Robot Mode, much to Yuga's surprise, and he admitted it was one of his Roads, but this made Skipjack think Yuga had thrown it into the ocean and he challenged Yuga to a [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]]. Skipjack gained a field advantage with his "[[Big Umi (anime)|Big Umi]]" [[Field Spell Card|Field Spell]], which reduced the [[ATK]] of all non-[[WATER]] monsters, so Yuga tried to counter him with his own WATER monster, "[[Hydro Magician (anime)|Hydro Magician]]". However, Skipjack countered him with "[[Bait Bite Ball (anime)|Bait Bite Ball]]", and retrieved the [[Trap Card]] from his [[Graveyard]] on his next turn while [[Set]]ting another, and [[Tribute Summon]]ed his [[Signature card|ace monster]] "[[Hydro Cannon Big Bluefin (anime)|Hydro Cannon Big Bluefin]]", launching an attack that would wipe Yuga out. Fortunately, Yuga was able to increase his [[LP]] enough to survive the attacks, but he was still worried that he wouldn't be able to win despite his friends' support. He Tribute Summoned "[[Lightning Voltcondor (anime)|Lightning Voltcondor]]" on his next turn and used its effect to reduce the [[ATK]] of Skipjack's monsters low enough to destroy them and wipe Skipjack out. After the Duel, Skipjack warmly congratulated Yuga on his victory despite the disadvantage he faced and he admitted he didn't believe Yuga capable of pollution. Yuga explained he wasn't sure why the Duel-cycle was in the ocean and he examined a memory fragment in it, learning that Kaizo's data had been stolen, with only a fragment remaining in the Duel-cycle, while a fake had been inserted in Kaizo's body. Realizing that must have happened when he found Kaizo Dueling the Drones. Skipjack then confirmed the island the Relic was supposed to appear on did not exist, and the fake Kaizo then left as it had been discovered, returning to [[Goha City]]. Fortunately, Yuga had placed a transmitter in Kaizo earlier due to him running off all the time, and Skipjack gave them a lift back to the shore on a speedboat, a ride Yuga didn't have the stomach for.<ref name="ep15">{{episode|SEVENS|15|ref}}</ref>

Once they were back on shore, Yuga took the Duel-cycle with him on a trolley and tracked Kaizo's body through the city on his phone, eventually arriving at [[GastroByte]].<ref name="ep15" /> Although Gavin was worried they wouldn't be able to get in, Luke spotted [[Mimi Imimi|Mimi]] entering GastroByte and asked for her help to get in. As he couldn't bring the Duel-cycle into GastroByte, Yuga transferred the remains of Kaizo's data into the seat and brought it with him, thanking Mimi for her help. After Mimi went to the bathroom, Luke consumed dozens of plates of food, resulting in a bill of 666,666 yen due to the special 66 yen price expiring, and he and Romin argued over whose fault it was before Luke ran off. Unable to pay the bill, Yuga, Romin and Gavin were put to work washing dishes under [[Buff Grimes]], but Romin accidentally broke a stack of plates, adding even more to their fee. Grimes offered to forget about the bill if they could defeat him in a Rush Duel, which he called a stain on Dueling, so Romin accepted his challenge under the condition that she would have to wash dishes for the rest of her life if she lost. Although Romin quickly brought out "[[Prima Guitarna the Shining Superstar (anime)|Prima Guitarna the Shining Superstar]]", Grimes was able to weaken it by continually re-using his "[[Bleach Mortar (anime)|Bleach Mortar]]" Spell, which Yuga deduced to be due to cheating with a function of his [[Duel Disk]]. He accused Grimes of cheating, but Grimes denied it until Luke revealed he and Mimi had been watching the Duel and Luke used his Pauli effect power to deactivate the cheating function, allowing Romin to survive the turn. As Luke gloated over saving Romin, she went into a rage and defeated Grimes; Yuga realized that frustration could also set Romin off and this time it had been due to wanting to cry happily over Luke saving her. Yuga then heard Grimes confess he'd seen Kaizo's body fly through a door in the hallway, which Yuga was able to unlock with his Duel Disk.<ref name="ep16">{{episode|SEVENS|16|ref}}</ref>

Once they entered, they were greeted by [[Nail Saionji]].<ref name="ep16" /> Nail explained that he oversaw Goha Duels and had the data of Kaizo, which he would return if they could defeat the Duelists in the [[Garden of Curiosity]], though their Duel accounts would be deleted if they lost six times. Before Nail left, Yuga asked if any of his other Duelists would cheat as Grimes had and if Nail couldn't just delete the accounts of anyone who Rush Dueled; Nail replied that was not his providence and commented that Yuga was as expected of someone that [[Otes]] had chosen. Yuga and his friends quickly found the first Duelist, [[Kit Schrödinger]], and though Yuga was eager to Duel him, Luke asked to be allowed to Duel, so Yuga agreed. However, despite Luke Summoning two high-[[Level]] [[Dragon]]s on his first turn, Kit's "[[Lost Cat (anime)|Lost Cat]]" Trap forced Luke to guess the card type of the top card of his Deck to make his attack succeed, and the notion stressed Luke out considerably. Kit further added to Luke's worries with his [[wikipedia:Schrödinger's cat|Schrödinger's cat]] philosophy, which Yuga recognized. After Luke was reduced to 100 LP, Gavin asked Luke if he was worried over whether Yuga would give him the title of King of Duels and encouraged him to ask Yuga himself. Yuga confirmed that even though Luke was his friend, he wouldn't give him the title of King of Duels, though he encouraged Luke to try attain it himself. Emboldened by this and vowing to take his own "daor", Luke used "[[Piercing Dragon Bunker Strike (anime)|Piercing Dragon Bunker Strike]]" to confirm the top cards of his Deck and allow his attacks to go through, but after "[[Multistrike Dragon Dragias (anime)|Multistrike Dragon Dragias]]" reduced Kit to 100 LP he activated "Lost Cat" anyway. Although Luke had forgotten the order he'd returned his cards in, he was able to guess correctly and defeat Kit, who was dropped down a trapdoor by Nail for losing. Nail then returned Yuga and his friends to the surface, telling them to return the next day, though Yuga believed they would still come out on top.<ref name="ep17">{{episode|SEVENS|17|ref}}</ref>

Yuga tinkered with Kaizo the next day, confirming to Romin that he wouldn't even be able to return Kaizo to a normal Drone without his original data, though he entertained the idea of creating another Kaizo, much to the displeasure of the original. Yuga then took Luke, Romin and Gavin to the [[Hologram Man's chamber]] to search for clues to the "key" that Otes had mentioned, though Romin had to leave. As Yuga and Gavin discussed whether Otes and Nail had a connection, a trapdoor opened beneath them and dropped them into the Garden of Curiosity where Luke had Dueled Kit. Nail appeared to them over hologram, confirming that they were continuing from where they had left off. Yuga asked Nail if the "key" was in the Garden, though Nail had no knowledge of the "key" despite Luke's belief he was lying. Yuga deduced that Nail's haven was likely under the [[Goha Enterprises Main Office]] (despite Luke's intuition pointing him the other way) and he and Gavin led the way following Gavin's GPS. They eventually encountered [[Tyler Getz]], [[RoaRomin]]'s drummer, and Romin and [[Roa Kassidy|Roa]] arrived, having also been brought to the Garden, and Tyler explained he had left RoaRomin and joined Nail due to Roa mistreating him. Yuga was eager to Duel Tyler, but Roa decided to Duel Tyler instead. Yuga was impressed by both Duelists' strategies and flair, and he watched as Tyler pushed Roa into a corner. Roa then sang a song to Tyler about how he was his friend, before defeating him with "[[Royal Rebel's Invasion (anime)|Royal Rebel's Invasion]]". After Tyler's loss Nail dropped him down a trapdoor as he had Kit, but Roa tried to save his friend, claiming he was hopeless without him. Romin then revealed to Yuga, Luke and Gavin that Roa had wanted to ask Yuga to make a high-performance drumming robot, a fact that Luke blurted out despite their efforts to stop him and that caused Tyler to refuse Roa's help and swear revenge. After they were returned to the surface, Roa departed, and Yuga asked if he still wanted him to make the drumming robot. Roa amended his request to a drum-shaped Duel Disk, though he denied waiting for Tyler to return.<ref name="ep18">{{episode|SEVENS|18|ref}}</ref> That night Yuga dreamed of the Dueling robot again when it came to help him open the door to a new world that Otes had mentioned, and he decided that was the key Otes had asked him to find, waking up and beginning work on the blueprints immediately, though he tripped over the charging Kaizo.<ref name="ep19">{{episode|SEVENS|19|ref}}</ref>

Yuga named his concept the "[[Super Rush Robot]]", and he told Luke, Romin and Gavin about it the next day. Romin suggested Yuga needed to dispose of some of his useless Roads, though Yuga denied that any of them were useless, including Kaizo, who he intended to use as the cooling system in the robot's crotch, much to Kaizo's displeasure. Kaizo hopped out of the Road Laboratory in a huff, and when Yuga and the others followed him out, they found four [[Comforting Harmonious Massage Chairs]] that Luke quickly convinced them to try. However, as soon as they did they were taken into the Garden of Curiosity, where Yuga was challenged to a Rush Duel by [[Seatbastian]], the A.I. that operated Nail's massage chair. Seatbastian vowed to put Yuga in his rightful place, while Yuga was impressed by Seatbastian's Robot Mode. Seatbastian only Summoned three 0 ATK monsters on his first turn, and though Yuga brought out enough monsters to defeat him, Seatbastian destroyed all of their monsters and forced them to discard cards from their Deck with "[[Collapsing Chairs (anime)|Collapsing Chairs]]". Seatbastian lectured Yuga on the importance of chairs and the worth of humans that sat on them, denouncing Yuga as only worthy of sitting on a bicycle seat like the one Kaizo was contained in, combining "[[Throne of Darkness (anime)|Throne of Darkness]]" and "[[Dahut, Dark Ruler of the Chair (anime)|Dahut, Dark Ruler of the Chair]]" to raise the ATK of the latter to 4000. Yuga was able to survive the attack with "[[Curtain of Sparks (anime)|Curtain of Sparks]]", and he brought out "[[Sevens Road Magician (anime)|Sevens Road Magician]]" on his next turn. Angered at being unable to finish Yuga off, Seatbastian returned "Sevens Road Magician" to Yuga's hand with "[[Power of the Throne]]" and hid it in Kaizo, then hid the rest of the cards in Yuga's hand in duplicates of Kaizo, challenging him to pick Kaizo out from the copies to Special Summon "Sevens Road Magician" back to his field. He revealed that he had been the one who stole Kaizo's data and taunted Yuga over the fear Kaizo had felt when he did, much to Yuga's anger. Yuga's friends insisted Kaizo wasn't useless, and Yuga declared that he'd be able to find his own Road, successfully picking him out of the copies and returning "Sevens Road Magician" to his field. He defeated Seatbastian, who began to repeat himself as Yuga and the others were returned to the surface. Afterwards Yuga moved Kaizo in his designs of the Super Rush Robot, but to the robot's posterior as a deodorizer, much to Kaizo's dismay.<ref name="ep19" />

[[Yosh Imimi|Yosh]] asked Luke for advice at school one day, but after he did, they were all dropped into the Garden of Curiosity to Duel Number Six, the Goha executive who had appeared during Yuga's Duel with Roa. Yuga was eager to Duel her, but lost the game of [[Rock-paper-scissors]] they played to decide to Yosh, who had fallen into the Garden with them. By this point, Yuga had suspected that Number Six was really Mimi, and his suspicions were confirmed when she used Mimi's [[Bubble Era]] monsters to gain LP on her first turn, something Romin and Gavin also noticed, though Luke remained oblivious. Although Yosh was unable to make use of his Field Spell as he had against Luke, he was able to destroy all of Mimi's monsters and inflict significant damage, Mimi brought out "[[Dian Keto the Boogie Master (anime)|Dian Keto the Boogie Master]]" on her next turn and destroyed all of Yosh's monsters, reducing him to 100 LP and urging him to surrender. Yosh refused to do so, as he wanted to find his dreams in the Duel, and he dreamed to be as strong as his mother, who still had big dreams even as an adult. He defeated Mimi with "[[Beast Gear King Convoy Liogon (anime)|Beast Gear King Convoy Liogon]]", but passed out after his victory and Number Six caught him as her helmet shattered, revealing that she was indeed Mimi, though Yuga had not expected that she was also Yosh's mother. They were all then penalized, which Nail explained was due to the system recognizing her as one of Yuga's friends. After they returned to the surface, Mimi asked them not to divulge her identity to Yosh and admitted that she had been happy to be called Yuga's friend, though she would still oppose them as a Goha employee.<ref name="ep20">{{episode|SEVENS|20|ref}}</ref> Yuga explained the situation to Yosh at school the next day, while keeping Mimi's identity secret from her son.<ref name="ep21">{{episode|SEVENS|21|ref}}</ref>

After school, Yuga called all his friends who had also been penalized by Mimi's loss to the Road Laboratory so he could explain what had happened. To his joy, everyone volunteered to help him, but he, Luke and Gavin were then dropped into the Garden of Curiosity again, with Romin and [[Saburamen]] also falling in with them. They encountered "Mysterious M", who Yuga realized was Mimi, and she told them that Nail's haven was in the [[Gate of Curiosity]]. After three hours of fruitless searching, Saburamen found the [[Out of This World Ramen]] ramen shop ran by [[Celestia Noodlina]], who claimed to be an alien. After Celestia served them ramen, she challenged them to a Duel, which Saburamen accepted. Saburamen gained an early lead, but the damage she took caused Celestia to reveal that her ship was powered by her LP, much to Yuga's shock. Celestia pushed Saburamen into a corner, and Gavin and Luke realized he was worrying over something. Saburamen blurted out that he couldn't decide whether to win the Duel, or spare Celestia and travel outer space with her in search of ramen. Yuga admitted he would chose outer space, but it was Saburamen's decision to make and his road to take. Reinvigorated by his new road, Saburamen defeated Celestia, who bid them goodbye before being retrieved by her mothership. Yuga was unfazed by the revelation that Celestia may have been an alien after all, and suggested they continue looking for the Gate of Curiosity.<ref name="ep21" />

Luke decided to treat his friends to a meal at GastroByte using the coupons Mimi had given him, though his power caused some difficulties around the restaurant. While they were eating, Yuga asked Luke about [[Luke's wristwatch|his wristwatch]], as he had been thinking about Luke's power and how he'd never stopped his Duel Disk from working when he Dueled. As Luke gave Yuga the wristwatch, a waiter Drone splashed water on Luke and took him away to clean him up. After Luke had been gone for a while, the holograms in their VIP room began to break down, and their screens showed Luke Rush Dueling Grimes, who was cheating again and forcing Luke to draw cards. Romin and Gavin believed Luke would be fine, as he could use his power to stop Grimes's cheating, but Yuga explained he believed the power was connected to his wristwatch. After Yuga and Gavin failed to get the door open themselves, Yuga was able to use Kaizo to lever the door open and they managed to get to the dishwashing room as Grimes prepared to [[Deck out]] Luke. Yuga tried to invoke the power of Luke's watch, but he, Romin and Gavin were all unable to, so Luke decided to defeat Grimes with skill instead, and he was able to stop Grimes's combo with a Trap Card, then defeat him on his next turn with three of his ace monsters. After the Duel, Yuga tricked Grimes into revealing where the Gate of Curiosity was and Luke used his power to open the reinforced door, causing Yuga to note that only Luke seemed to be able to use the watch on command. Grimes was dropped down a trapdoor by Nail, and Yuga and his friends headed to the Gate of Curiosity.<ref name="ep22">{{Episode|SEVENS|22|ref}}</ref>

When they reached the Gate, all of them expected to face a challenge, but to Yuga's surprise the Gate contained a street of shops staffed by Drones, selling products branded with Nail's philosophy of providence. Gavin suggested they use the shops to learn more about Nail, a sentiment the Drones encouraged, so Yuga began asking around at the shops, only to have difficulty with the strange definitions and products the Drones had, including a blank fortune that a Drone told Yuga represented the destiny he had to make for himself. After briefly seeing himself with his "[[Sevens Road]]" monsters and "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime Rush Duel)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]", Yuga believed he had gained some understanding of Nail's providence and Nail himself despite his friends' confusion over the subject and he became even more eager to Rush Duel Nail. They entered Nail's haven to find it in ruins, though this was quickly revealed to be [[Solid Vision]] as Nail and Seatbastian came out to meet them. Leaving Kaizo with Romin, Yuga admitted he had come to understand Nail's providence and wanted to Rush Duel him, though to his surprise Nail claimed they wouldn't be able to have that Duel, as Yuga had no chance of winning. Nail started simply with his "[[Femtron (anime)|Femtron]]" and two Set cards, which Yuga tried to destroy with "[[Wave Crest Madoor (anime)|Wave Crest Madoor]]", though Nail used "[[Trap Hole (anime Rush Duel)|Trap Hole]]" to save his other Trap. Yuga Tribute Summoned "Sevens Road Magician" and increased its ATK significantly, inflicting severe damage to Nail, though he simply used his other Trap, "[[Quantum Hole (anime)|Quantum Hole]]", to draw more cards. Nail claimed that everything was under they sway of all creation, and that this was providence, continually Summoning monsters and cycling through his cards. He told Yuga that providence created everything in the universe, shocking Yuga, and proceeded to perform a [[Maximum Summon]] to bring out "[[Yggdrago the Sky Emperor‎‎ (anime)|Yggdrago the Sky Emperor‎‎‎‎]]", terrifying Yuga. "Yggdrago" destroyed "Sevens Road Magician" and defeated Yuga in one attack, bringing him to his knees.<ref name="ep23">{{Episode|SEVENS|23|ref}}</ref> Nail explained that he had installed Maximum Summoning by using the code gap that Yuga had left in the code of Rush Dueling and sent them back to the surface, leaving them all with two penalties.<ref name="ep24" />

Although his friends promised to help him find a way to defeat Maximum Summoning, Yuga left Kaizo and his phone at the Road Laboratory and went walking through the city. He found himself at Roa's apartment, and Romin called Roa looking for Yuga, so Yuga asked Roa to conceal his presence. Roa agreed to, and he asked Yuga to tell him about Maximum Summoning, having learned that Nail used it to defeat him. Yuga explained about the code gap he'd left, having intended for more fun rules to be added, and Roa suggested he was frustrated at having the opportunity stolen. Roa derided the man who had been chosen by Otes losing his resolve over a single loss, and despite Yuga trying to laugh it off as bad luck, Roa grabbed Yuga by the collar and angrily asked if this was all his desire to become King of Duels amounted to. Soon afterwards both of them were penalized three more times, and Yuga worried that his friends were in trouble a rushed back to the Road Laboratory, apologizing to Roa as he left. Yuga found Luke, Gavin and Romin at the Road Laboratory and apologized to them, but was shocked to learn they had all Dueled and defeated Otes to find a way to defeat Maximum, causing the penalties. They asked Yuga to accept their feelings of resolve and encouraged him to win, and Yuga agreed.<ref name="ep24" /> To Yuga's shock, his friends suggested he install Maximum Summoning himself to combat Nail's, and they offered their own [[Duel ID cards]] to him to rewrite them into [[Maximum Monster]]s. Yuga refused, as he didn't want to erase his friends' accounts, something they found amusing as they had assumed Yuga would eagerly agree to their proposition. Luke reassured Yuga that protecting Rush Dueling was more important, even more than his own dream of becoming the King of Duels, and he told Yuga that he wanted to see what lay beyond his road. Convinced by his friends' wishes, Yuga hacked into their Duel Disks and Romin's Duel Guitar to enable voice command mode, allowing them to eject the cards once Gavin took out the Goha Enterprises Drone that tried to penalize them. Yuga added his friends' ID cards to his Deck, planning to rewrite them during his next Duel using [[Real-Time Duel Programming|Real-Time Rush Duel Programming]].<ref name="ep25">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|25|ref}}</ref>

Yuga took his friends and Kaizo to the [[Goha Duel Museum]] as he had always wanted to go, something Gavin suggested was in case he lost to Nail again. As they visited the Duel History exhibit, Nail approached them, admitting he hadn't expected to see them here. After Nail made some disparaging remarks about Luke and told them to enjoy the Duel Museum while they could, Yuga challenged Nail to a Duel, revealing his five penalties and warning Nail that they didn't intend to let him end Rush Dueling. Nail accepted Yuga's challenge, declaring that this would be the last Rush Duel. Wary of Nail's "Yggdrago", Yuga played defensively with "[[Bascule the Moving Fortress (anime)|Bascule the Moving Fortress]]" and prepared "[[Magiquartet Shock (anime)|Magiquartet Shock]]" to destroy "Yggdrago" when Nail Summoned it. Nail told Yuga that his roads and Rush Dueling were insignificant compared to providence, and he quickly amassed the cards he needed to Maximum Summon "Yggdrago", taking them to the roof of the Goha Main Office to continue the Duel. Yuga attempted to destroy "Yggdrago" with "Magiquartet Shock", but "Yggdrago" proved to be immune to his Trap and Nail explained that a Maximum Monster was three monsters combined as one, with three effects as a result. Nail used the second effect of "Yggdrago" to destroy "Bascule" as he had "Sevens Road Magician" in their last Duel, and switched Yuga's "[[Straynge Cat (anime)|Straynge Cat]]" into Attack Position with the final effect of "Yggdrago", though Yuga was able to survive unscathed with his "[[Trick Guard]]". Though he had survived the turn, Yuga knew that conventional means wouldn't be enough for him to defeat Nail and he had no choice but to use his own Maximum. To his relief, he drew his friends' three Duel ID cards on his next turn, and they were rewritten into his Maximum Monsters. Showing the cards to Nail, Yuga explained how his friends had entrusted their accounts to him, but then his Real-Time Rush Duel Programming began to take a toll on his Duel Disk. Kaizo then leapt out of Romin's arms and indicated that Yuga should use him to complete his installation. Yuga was initially reluctant, as doing so would erase Kaizo, but after Kaizo hit him over the head and indicated Nail, Yuga remembered that winning the Duel would return Kaizo's original data, Yuga connected him to his Duel Disk, stabilizing the installation. Yuga's friends then joined him in Maximum Summoning his new Maximum Monster, "[[Supreme Machine Magnum Overlord (anime)|Supreme Machine Magnum Overlord]]".<ref name="ep25" />

Although Yuga used the first effect of "Magnum Overlord" to increase its ATK higher than that of "Yggdrago", Nail used "[[Absurd Burst]]" to protect "Yggdrago" and damage Yuga as well, though it failed to destroy "Magnum Overlord" due to its own Trap immunity. Yuga made use of the unique properties of his Maximum Monster to negate the attack of "Yggdrago" on his next turn by returning it to his hand to activate "[[Emergency Return (anime)|Emergency Return]]", but before he could Maximum Summon it again, Nail returned his hand to his Deck using his "[[Paradigm Shift]]" Trap, forcing Yuga to oppose Nail without his Maximum. Yuga combined "Sevens Road Magician" with "[[Sevens Road Witch (anime)|Sevens Road Witch]]" and "[[Road Magic - Tectonic Shift (anime)|Road Magic - Tectonic Shift]]" in an attempt to destroy "Yggdrago" and defeat Nail, but Nail was once again able to prevent "Yggdrago" from being destroyed and restore his LP to 4000, much to Yuga's frustration. Nail destroyed "Sevens Road Magician" on his next turn with the effect of "Yggdrago" and attacked "Sevens Road Witch", but Yuga was able to use "[[Magical Switch]]" to have "Sevens Road Magician" take the attack instead, allowing him to survive with 100 LP. To Yuga's surprise, Seatbastian then reported that their Duel had caused many of the elementary students in Goha City to declare their support of Yuga and become penalized as he was, inspiring Yuga to win the Duel for them. As he hadn't drawn his Maximum again, Yuga resorted to using several effects to draw cards, and despite Nail destroying his "[[Necromaid Nana (anime)|Necromaid Nana]]", Yuga was able to draw the final Maximum Monster with "[[Silent Learning (anime)|Silent Learning]]" after seeing Nail's Set "[[Pair Destruction]]". To his shock, Nail used another "Paradigm Shift" to return his Maximum cards to his Deck again, and Yuga only redrew one of them. Yuga then heard Luke's voice from within the card that had been sourced from his Duel ID, telling him that they were with him. Declaring that his Maximum represented his three closest friends, Yuga used "[[Kuribotriple (anime)|Kuribotriple]]" to draw two more cards, and he drew his other two Maximum Monsters, allowing him to finally Maximum Summon "Supreme Machine Magnum Overlord" again. As he used its ability to increase its ATK again, Nail reminded Yuga that he'd seen his "Pair Destruction", which he could use to end the Duel in a [[DRAW]] and still penalize Yuga, but Yuga revealed the final ability of "Magnum Overlord", increasing its ATK by the difference in their LP and allowing it to destroy "Yggdrago" and defeat Nail.<ref name="ep26">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|26|ref}}</ref>

As he had agreed, Nail returned Kaizo's body and data to Yuga, though Kaizo had no memory of the time it had spent in the Duel-cycle. Nail also revealed that he had been Dueling under the same conditions as Yuga, and his account had been terminated with his loss. He told Yuga that his Rush Duels had immense potential and thanked him for opening the door to a new world. As he did so, Yuga's Maximum Monsters faded, restoring Luke, Romin and Gavin's ID cards.<ref name="ep26" />

====Goha #6 Elementary====
Yuga went to school early one day, going to the roof to remember his Duel with Nail. [[Romin Kassidy|Romin]] and [[Gavin Sogetsu|Gavin]] came to see Yuga, and he thanked them for helping him win. [[Kaizo]] then arrived, crying that something bad had happened. To Yuga's surprise, [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]] had turned the [[Goha 7 Elementary Student Council|Student Council]] Room into a clubroom for his new [[Rush Duel Club|Luke Club]] and he dubbed Yuga the first member, but Yuga declined Luke's invitation to join, as clubs weren't something he participated in. Throughout the day, Yuga saw Luke trying to recruit members for his Club, including when he passionately defended [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Dueling]] to the sports players. After school, Yuga, Romin, and Gavin eavesdropped on Luke through the door and listened to him laughing. They found him Dueling himself, and Yuga was intrigued by the "[[Illusion Strike Dragon Miragias (anime)|Illusion Strike Dragon Miragias]]" card that Luke was holding. Having seen Luke's passion, they agreed to join his Club (which Gavin renamed to the Rush Duel Club), with Yuga challenging Luke to a Rush Duel.<ref name="ep27">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|27|ref}}</ref>

Luke received an invitation to the [[Dark Rush Duel Tournament|Rush Duel Tournament]], so he entered the Rush Duel Club in the tournament and decided they should have a [[Rush Duel Training Camp]] to prepare for the tournament. As a club required an advisor to go to a training camp, Nail sent [[Seatbastian]] to be their advisor, though Yuga had to keep the peace between him and Kaizo. After meeting with [[Saburamen]], [[Sushiko Maki|Sushiko]], [[Briscoe]], the [[Duel Dinosaur Club]] and the [[Battle Bug Club]] at the campgrounds, Yuga was quickly subjected to Luke's training, though he questioned Luke's logic of letting Romin break early to awaken her rage. When Luke had them chase chickens to keep them quick on their feet, Yuga chased one into the forest, catching it when he met a girl with a digger that had broken down. Impressed by the digger, Yuga managed to fix the loose circuit that had crippled it, much to the girl's joy. She introduced herself as [[Asana Mutsuba]] and her digger as [[R6]], and Yuga asked if he could ride R6. Asana agreed to let Yuga ride it, and she taught him how to ride R6, riding with him until the evening. Yuga introduced himself and challenged Asana to a Duel after she revealed she knew who he was, but Asana was called away and she bid him farewell. Yuga told Luke, Gavin and the Duel Dinosaur Club about Asana at the cabin, and [[Professor Diggs|Diggs]] revealed that she was likely from [[Goha 6 Elementary|Goha #6 Elementary]]'s [[Heavy Cavalry Duel Club]], who they had clashed with over their dig sites, though Yuga didn't believe Asana would do that. They were interrupted by Romin and Sushiko arguing over the television remote, so Yuga suggested they settle the matter with a Rush Duel. Sushiko's sushi Deck initially caused Romin some trouble, but she eventually awakened and made a comeback, but returned to normal after Luke turned on an advertisement for ''[[Itamae's Case Files]]'', the show Sushiko wanted to watch, which was guest-starring [[Princess G]], the guitarist who had given Romin her "[[Prima Guitarna the Shining Superstar (anime)|Prima Guitarna the Shining Superstar]]" card. To Yuga's shock, Sushiko defeated Romin, though they held little bad blood between them and Briscoe came in with dinner for all of them after the Duel.<ref name="ep28">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|28|ref}}</ref> On the third day at the camp, after everyone else had left, Yuga, Luke, Romin, and Gavin were stranded at the cabin due to a massive trench that had been dug around it, and they were out of food due to Luke eating it all the previous night. Yuga tried testing the depth of the trench by dropping Kaizo into it, much to the Drone's displeasure, and he also sent Kaizo to get help from Seatbastian and the manager. Gavin also pointed out that [[Rayne Nanahoshi|Rayne]] and [[Rino Nanahoshi|Rino]] were on their way as well, but neither Kaizo nor the twins came to the cabin. They were finally rescued that evening by [[Galian Townsend]] from the Heavy Cavalry Club, and afterwards they went to find Kaizo for failing to come back for them.<ref name="ep29">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|29|ref}}</ref>

After the training camp, Gavin showed Yuga and Romin a postcard from Rayne and Rino, who were apparently on holiday at the hot springs, though Yuga was skeptical given the altered image and also noticed that it had been sent from Goha #6 Elementary.<ref name="ep30">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|30|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep33">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|33|ref}}</ref> Luke then arrived with their entry form for the Rush Duel Tournament, but when they examined they realized it read "Trumpet Duet Tournament" instead. As his friends argued over the predicament they'd found themselves in, Yuga noticed that the Tournament would be held at the old Goha #6 Elementary campus and suggested that the Rush Duel Club compete after all, a sentiment Gavin and Seatbastian agreed with given the club had already submitted an entry notice. They decided to ask the [[Music Club]] for help despite Luke's misgivings, only to find themselves attacked by the club members before the club president, Luke's sister [[Tiadosia Kallister|Tiger]], returned. After they explained the situation to Tiger, she agreed to help them if they could defeat her, offering them several martial arts weapons. Yuga instead chose his [[Duel Disk]], challenging Tiger to a Rush Duel, and she accepted despite Luke's warning that Tiger had defeated him in their youth. Tiger took the first turn, and Yuga was impressed by her efficient strategy that managed to get three high-Level "[[Trumpetonfa the Music Princess (anime)|Trumpetonfa the Music Princess]]s" on the field in one turn; Tiger herself claimed that breath was the core of all martial arts, which was why she had come to the Music Club. Yuga opposed Tiger with "[[Sevens Road Magician (anime)|Sevens Road Magician]]", setting up "[[Curtain of Sparks (anime)|Curtain of Sparks]]" to defend him on his next turn, but almost lost the Duel when Tiger tried to lower the ATK of "Sevens Road Magician" drastically with the effect of her "[[Nuncharinet the Music Princess (anime)|Nuncharinet the Music Princess]]", though fortunately she was unable to excavate the right card to trigger it. Tiger's ace monster, "[[Ensembullfighter the Music Fiend (anime)|Ensembullfighter the Music Fiend]]" prevented Yuga from using his Trap, allowing her to destroy "Sevens Road Magician" and drastically reduce his LP. Tiger asked Yuga what he sought at the conclusion of his road, and Yuga told her that it was smiles (despite Luke's belief that it was the title of [[King of Games (title)|King of Duels]]. Yuga was able to make a comeback with "[[Bendorbreak the Conqueror (anime)|Bendorbreak the Conqueror]]", reducing the ATK of "Ensembullfighter" low enough for him to defeat Tiger. After the Duel, Tiger explained that she had seen his Rush Duel with Luke and she admitted she thought Yuga would be able to achieve his goal, and she began tutoring them in wind instruments as she had promised.<ref name="ep30"/>

On the day of the Trumpet Duet Tournament, Yuga and his friends went to the disheveled building where the tournament was being held, only to find many students from Goha #6 Elementary were Rush Dueling there and that the Trumpet Duet Tournament was really the "[[Dark Rush Duel Tournament]]", located at the old Goha #6 campus and organized by former [[Goha 6 Elementary Student Council|Goha #6 Elementary Student Council]] president [[Janko Entant]], who all recognized Yuga. To Yuga's surprise, Janko had an odd seizure that he explained was due to his body requiring cards to draw, and he explained how the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club had kicked him out of the Student Council. Janko challenged Yuga to a Rush Duel, but before Yuga could accept Janko's challenge, Luke, angered that his instrument practice had been for nothing, challenged Janko to a Rush Duel to punish him. Yuga was impressed to see that Janko used an ant-based Deck, accidentally making several ant-based buns during the course of the Duel. Janko's tactic of powering up his weaker ant monsters based on their numbers almost defeated Luke, but Luke was able to defeat him with the similarly inspired "[[Insurrection Dragon (anime)|Insurrection Dragon]]".<ref name="ep31">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|31|ref}}</ref> Before the tournament could begin, the wall was broken down by Asana and the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club.<ref name="ep31" /><ref name="ep32">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|32|ref}}</ref> Yuga and Asana greeted one another, Asana telling Yuga that R6 was happy to see him again, but Asana also had the old campus demolished and her students rounded up, explaining that she detested modifications like Rush Dueling when Yuga asked why she was doing this. Yuga challenged Asana to a Rush Duel to allow her students to Rush Duel freely, a challenge Asana accepted after Janko pointed out it was tradition for their school to do so. To Yuga's surprise, Asana Dueled from R6 in what she called a Heavy Cavalry Duel, and she swiftly overpowered him with her powerful [[Wyrm]] monsters, but she found the Duel interesting. Despite Asana's friends, Galian and [[Schubel Quill]], trying to downplay this, Yuga encouraged Asana to continue enjoying the Duel, as he was enjoying the Heavy Cavalry Duel as well. He brought out "[[Raidacross, Hero of the Dusk (anime)|Raidacross, Hero of the Dusk]]", using its effect to [[Special Summon]] "[[Sevens Road Witch (anime)|Sevens Road Witch]]" and then Special Summoned "Sevens Road Magician", destroying all of Asana's monsters and shocking her with his comeback. But to Yuga's utter shock, Asana admitted on her next turn that she wished they'd met under different circumstances and [[Maximum Summon]]ed "[[Wyrm Excavator the Heavy Cavalry Draco (anime)|Wyrm Excavator the Heavy Cavalry Draco]]", destroying her own [[Field Spell Card]] to increase its ATK and defeat Yuga. Asana then informed Yuga of the consequences of his loss; that he and his friends would have to transfer to Goha #6 Elementary with Rayne and Rino, who had been defeated by Galian and forced to transfer as well.<ref name="ep32" />

On his first day at Goha #6 Elementary, Yuga was exhausted by the school's traditional morning run. Afterwards, he and Luke noted that Asana had planned to transfer the to the school and they speculated as to where Asana had obtained [[Maximum Monster]]s, which Luke theorized had been excavated by the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club. Although Yuga didn't believe Luke's theory, it gave him an idea after he recalled Rayne and Rino telling them that the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club were excavating something, and he spent the day researching in the library. Yuga learned about the [[Abandoned Dorm (SEVENS)|Abandoned Dorm]] and the mine it contained, and theorized that the secret of Asana's Maximum was there, so he planted Roads around the school with Kaizo's help to aid students who had trouble with the morning run, knowing it would likely anger the traditionalist Heavy Cavalry Duel Club enough to send them to the Abandoned Dorm.<ref name="ep33" /> He also learned about [[R0]], the Mutsuba-style Mobile Duel Device that her family had created before it was outcompeted by Duel Disks, and hoped to find it for Asana.<ref name="ep39">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|39|ref}}</ref> After school that day, Kaizo came to Yuga in disguise to inform him of their progress while their friends concealed the Drone, and Yuga suggested they challenge the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club to a Rush Duel for the freedom to Rush Duel freely. Gavin challenged Galian to a Rush Duel, both to return to Goha 7th and to avenge Rayne's loss to him. Although Galian was able to damage Gavin on his first turn, Gavin was able to gain an early lead with "[[Yamiruler the Dark Delayer (anime)|Yamiruler the Dark Delayer]]", though Galian in turn made a comeback by [[Darkness Approaches (anime Rush Duel)|flipping]] "Yamiruler" face-down to dispel its effect and Special Summoning "[[Shield Boring Kong (anime)|Shield Boring Kong]]" to destroy it and increase its own ATK. Fortunately, Gavin was able to block the attack of Shield Boring Kong", something that prompted Yuga and Luke to agree that Gavin was Gavin even if he wasn't the Student Council President anymore, and Gavin defeated Galian with "[[Semeruler the Dark Summoner (anime)|Semeruler the Dark Summoner]]", also destroying Galian's [[Heavy Cavalry]], GG03. After the Duel Galian reminisced on how he had helped raise Asana and he left Goha #6 Elementary, but Asana refused to allow Yuga and his friends to leave after discovering that Yuga and Kaizo's Roads. Just as Yuga had planned, Asana sent them to the Abandoned Dorm, where Yuga explained to his friends that he had wanted to be sent there to gain access to the mine.<ref name="ep33" />

As they worked at the mine, Yuga created Roads disguised as Kaizo and Seatbastian and sent the real Drones to ask Nail where Asana had obtained her Maximum Monsters and if he could borrow "[[Yggdrago the Sky Emperor (anime)|Yggdrago the Sky Emperor]]" in the event he was unable to recreate "[[Supreme Machine Magnum Overlord (anime)|Magnum Overlord]]".<ref name="ep34">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|34|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep38">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|38|ref}}</ref> Galian joined them in their labors, having decided to start from the basics. When they broke for lunch, Yuga explained his plan to Gavin and Romin, though they had to stop the oblivious Luke when he tried to get a massage from Seatbastian. Later that day an alarm went off, causing the group to realize that Kaizo and Seatbastian had escaped successfully, and Yuga and his friends seized their chance to escape into the mine, using their Duel Disk lights to see in the darkness.<ref name="ep34" /> Yuga tried to keep track of their movements by scattering parts from Kaizo's repair kit, but this plan was foiled by the unwitting Luke picking them up and using them to make a monster, and they quickly became lost. Fortunately, Kaizo returned with [[Tracker]] and a message from Nail explaining that he had not created Asana's "Wyrm Excavator", but that the answer might lie in the underground mine where a cache of prototype Duel Disks had been abandoned; Tracker had been sent to aid in finding the cache, and succeeded in uncovering an underground hallway.<ref name="ep35">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|35}}</ref> As they moved through the tunnels, Rayne tripped and Yuga caught her before speculating as to why Asana was trying to crush Rush Duels and claiming that he wanted to bring smiles to Goha #6 Elementary, acknowledging when Rayne asked him that he was motivated for Asana's sake in a way. They then arrived at the Heavy Cavalry Colosseum, where Schubel and [[Pidgetrap Quill|Pidgetrap]] were waiting for them with an exhausted Galian, who declared his intention to challenge them to prevent them from passing with his place at Goha #6 Elementary on the line, but collapsed from weakness. Rayne caught him and abruptly challenged Yuga and his friends in Galian's place. Rino asked to Duel Rayne, and Yuga agreed, though he was confused throughout the Duel as to the twins' motivations. Rino was eventually able to end the Duel in a [[DRAW]], allowing Galian to remain at Goha 6th but preventing Yuga and his friends from passing unless they had another Duel.<ref name="ep36">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|36|ref}}</ref> Luke challenged Schubel to a Duel, feeling responsible for getting tricked into their current situation, but to everyone's shock Schubel explained that Pidgetrap would be making the moves for him. Pidgetrap Set three cards on his first turn, which Yuga speculated to be Traps given Schubel's nature and Pidgetrap's name, though even Yuga was a little exasperated at how gullible Luke was acting. Although Luke had a strong first turn, Pidgetrap's Trap Cards soon mentally wore him down, much to Yuga's concern, though they were eventually able to get through to Luke. Schubel also made a move on his own, causing him to squabble with Pidgetrap and allowing Luke to defeat them with "Miragias". After the Duel, Luke continued speaking in bird noises, which Yuga and Gavin translated for Romin as they moved deeper into the tunnels.<ref name="ep37">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|37|ref}}</ref>

Eventually they reached the mine, and Yuga began uncovering prototype Duel Disks with Tracker's assistance, explaining that he believed Asana had created her Maximum cards from the [[Duel ID cards]] contained within. They managed to extract three Duel ID cards from the prototype Duel Disks, so Yuga decided to use them in his Deck instead of "Yggdrago" in the event Asana Dueled him again. Asana arrived soon afterwards, confirming Yuga's deductions and explaining that the Duel ID cards in the Duel Disks were largely faulty, fragmenting at a touch. She challenged Yuga to another Rush Duel, agreeing to honor her original promise if he won, but warning that Rush Dueling would be banned in elementary schools across Goha City if she won. Yuga accepted the Duel, believing it to be a match that he couldn't avoid, though he played cautiously on his first turn by Setting all the cards in his hand. He urged Asana to bring out her Maximum, and she obliged him, flipping his "[[Straynge Cat (anime)|Straynge Cat]]" into Attack Position and bringing out "Wyrm Excavator", though Yuga was able to avoid taking damage with "[[Trick Guard]]". On his next turn, Asana urged Yuga to Summon "Yggdrago", but he revealed that "Yggdrago" wasn't in his Deck, much to her disappointment. After Asana admitted that she had hoped she would be able to Duel him equally, Yuga explained that he was betting on the Duel ID cards he had already added to his Deck. Using the effect of his "[[Amazing Dealer (anime)|Amazing Dealer]]", Yuga was able to discard three cards and successfully draw all three Duel ID cards, changing them into "Magnum Overlord" and Maximum Summoning it. Yuga used both effects of "Magnum Overlord" to increase its ATK, but when he attacked "Wyrm Excavator", Asana used [[Constructor Ambush (anime)|a Trap]] to reduce its ATK to equal that of "Wyrm Excavator", and to Yuga's horror, both sets of Maximum Monsters began to disintegrate due to the stress of their battle; Gavin ruling that the owner of the Maximum that disintegrated first would take the ATK of the other as damage.<ref name="ep38" /> As Yuga encouraged "Magnum Overlord", Asana admitted to him that she'd never had such an exciting Duel, a sentiment that Yuga shared, and both Maximum Monsters ended up disintegrating at the same time, allowing the Duel to continue. As Asana brought out "[[Constructor Wyrm Buildragon (anime)|Constructor Wyrm Buildragon]]", R6 began to break down and Yuga asked if Asana hadn't repaired it recently. Asana explained that the parts for Heavy Cavalry were no longer made and that due to their traditionalism they refused to use other parts, as this would count as modifying it. She also confirmed that she had made a bargain with [[Goha Enterprises]] to have the parts remanufactured if she was able to crush Rush Dueling. Yuga was able to fend off Asana's attacks and brought out "[[Steel Mech Lord Mirror Innovator (anime)|Steel Mech Lord Mirror Innovator]]" on his next turn and explained its effect to Asana, who used [[Constructor Blockade (anime)|a Trap]] to prevent Machines from attacking to stop it. However, Yuga used "[[Type Change Beam (anime)|Type Change Beam]]" to change "Mirror Innovator" into a Spellcaster monster, allowing him to combine its effect with "[[Road Magic - Uplifter (anime)|Road Magic - Uplifter]]" to increase its ATK high enough to defeat Asana. His final attack destroyed R6 despite the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club working to hold it together, and Yuga was horrified when Asana was blasted into the air by the explosion, though fortunately she was saved by her friends.<ref name="ep39" />

After the Duel, Yuga found what he had been looking for; the room containing R0, which had been modified during its construction as he had suspected. He explained that he had been trying to find it for Asana to make her smile and how one had to modify something as they made it until they got it right, just as he had with Rush Dueling. Asana finally came to accept modification, allowing Rush Dueling to take place at Goha #6 Elementary as promised and allowing Yuga to repair R6 for her. After he did so and Asana drove it proudly, he also repaired GG03 after Galian asked him to.<ref name="ep39" /><ref name="ep42">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|42|ref}}</ref>

====Team Battle Royal====
When Yuga and his friends returned to [[Goha #7 Elementary]], they found the [[Goha 7 Elementary Student Council|Student Council]] room covered in vines, and Yuga and [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]] began helping [[Gavin Sogetsu|Gavin]] clean up. As they did, [[Romin Kassidy|Romin]] learned that [[Gwendoline Purdy|Princess G]] had been fired by [[Goha Enterprises]] for liking [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Dueling]] and demanded Yuga do something due to it being his format, though Yuga rightfully pointed out that Goha Enterprises were the ones responsible and Romin ran off in a huff. After their new student teacher, Gwendoline Purdy, introduced herself, Luke and Gavin came over during recess, with Luke claiming that Gwendoline was Princess G, though Yuga was skeptical. To his shock, Romin decided to quit Rush Dueling, and though Yuga didn't want her to, he acknowledged that it was her decision. After Gwendoline bumped into Romin and told her not to give up what she loved, Romin challenged Yuga to a final Rush Duel and Yuga eagerly accepted. Despite setting up a strong defense on his first turn, Romin quickly depleted Yuga's field of monsters and inflicted significant damage to him with "[[Folder Blitz the Infinite Dream (anime)|Folder Blitz the Infinite Dream]]", and Yuga praised her efforts and asked if this was why she couldn't stop Rush Dueling. On his next turn, Yuga brought out "[[Bendorbreak the Conqueror (anime)|Bendorbreak the Conqueror]]", "[[Savage Claw Tiger (anime)|Savage Claw Tiger]]" and "[[Lightning Voltcondor (anime)|Lightning Voltcondor]]", intending to weaken Romin's monsters with the effect of "Voltcondor", but she used her "[[Raging Rock (anime)|Raging Rock]]" Trap to prevent him from using the effect of "Voltcondor" and strengthen her monsters enough to survive. However after hearing a piano melody playing in the next room, Romin combined her "[[CAN:D (anime)|CAN:D]]" with her other cards to bring out both "[[Prima Guitarna the Shining Superstar (anime)|Prima Guitarna the Shining Superstar]]" and "[[Esperade the Smashing Superstar (anime)|Esperade the Smashing Superstar]]" while arranging her [[LP]] to be able to use both of their effects, destroying all of Yuga's monsters and defeating him with her new Jam playstyle. After the Duel, Yuga praised Romin's new strategy and the possibilities it could bring to Rush Dueling, and Romin decided not to quit Rush Dueling after all.<ref name="ep40">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|40|ref}}</ref>

As Yuga arrived at school one morning, Romin, Luke and Gavin called him over, having learned from some of Yuga and Romin's classmates that a [[Maximum Monster]] had been found in a booster pack. Yuga, Luke and Gavin discussed the matter and the notion that Goha Enterprises were acknowledging Rush Dueling, only for [[Rayne Nanahoshi|Rayne]] to inform them that she was graduating from the Student Council and [[Sogetsu Style]], much to their collective shock. Gavin refused to allow Rayne to graduate unless she could defeat him in a Rush Duel, so Yuga, Romin and [[Rino Nanahoshi|Rino]] all attended the graduation ceremony. As the Duel continued and Rayne gradually pressured Gavin, Yuga was surprised by her flippant and dramatic attitude, particularly when Rino called his sister crazy. Gavin was eventually able to defeat Rayne with his new [[Signature card|ace monster]], "[[Icezark the Unequaled (anime)|Icezark the Unequaled]]", but Rayne still left his service despite seeing the error of her ways. Although Gavin allowed her to go, he was still feeling down after the Duel and Yuga and Romin tried to cheer him up, only to find the school had been painted blue by the power-crazed Luke and [[Kaizo]], who had replaced Rayne on the Student Council. After [[Tiadosia Kallister|Tiger]] put Luke in his place, a girl resembling [[Celestia Noodlina]] appeared on the school's videoscreen, calling herself [[Prioria Sweetalina]] and announcing the [[Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal]], prompting Yuga to wonder if Goha Enterprises really were trying to legitimize Rush Dueling.<ref name="ep41">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|41|ref}}</ref> As participants would enter in teams of three, Yuga opted not to participate as he didn't want to get in the way of the dreams of his friends despite the tournament reportedly crowning the winner [[King of Games (title)|King of Duels]], but when he told them so while repairing Kaizo, Luke almost hit him and ran off, with Romin and Gavin pursuing him. They returned at the end of the day, having gone to [[Maximum Mountain|the Mutsuba's mine]] to search for Maximum Monsters, though they'd been unable to find any. Instead, Luke claimed that they'd found Yuga's true feelings and he asked Yuga to support them during the tournament; Yuga replied that he would.<ref name="ep42"/>

Yuga accompanied Luke, Romin and Gavin to [[Goha Stadium]] for their registration, but as Luke tried to get Yuga to join his team, Yuga, Romin and Gavin noticed [[Otes|a cloaked man]] in the crowd and pursued him into the stadium, but instead found [[Mimi Imimi|Mimi]] cosplaying as Kid Goha. Mimi abruptly asked Yuga if the tournament had been his idea, alerting Yuga to the fact that the tournament ''hadn't'' been Goha Enterprises's plan, though Luke called them away to register before they could ask Mimi any further questions. As Luke, Romin and Gavin registered as "Team King Luke's Kings", Yuga overheard [[Schubel Quill|Schubel]] and [[Galian Townsend|Galian]] protesting over the tournament staff's refusal to allow [[Pidgetrap Quill|Pidgetrap]] to take Asana's place in the tournament as she'd come down with a fever. Luke eventually suggested that Yuga enter the tournament with Galian and Schubel in Asana's place, though Yuga was still reluctant to do so. The cloaked man then approached them and revealed himself to be Otes, challenging Yuga to a Duel while cryptically hinting at the true purpose of the tournament. Although he was wary that Otes was trying to manipulate him, Yuga still accepted his challenge. Otes opposed Yuga with "[[Summoned Skull (anime Rush Duel)|Summoned Skull]]", which Yuga was able to destroy with his "[[Sevens Road Magician (anime)|Sevens Road Magician]]" and "[[Sevens Road Witch (anime)|Sevens Road Witch]]" combo, but Otes [[Archfiend's Revival (anime)|revived]] "Summoned Skull" to block the attack of "Sevens Road Witch". Otes destroyed all of Yuga's monsters on his next turn and reduced him to 200 LP, warning him that he was in danger of stopping on his Road and allowing Rush Dueling to become as static as Goha Dueling in the future. Admitting that he had a duty to prevent that from happening, Yuga used "[[Sevens Road Warlock (anime)|Sevens Road Warlock]]" to retreive "Sevens Road Witch" and "Sevens Road Magician", and though Otes returned the monsters in Yuga's Graveyard to his Deck to prevent him from powering up "Sevens Road Magician" with its effect, Yuga was instead able to increase the ATK of "Sevens Road Magician" with "[[Sevens Twin Burst]]" and defeat Otes. After the Duel he decided not to ask Otes what he'd meant by the tournament's true purpose and instead learn it for himself in the tournament, agreeing to join Galian and Schubel's team. Before they registered, Otes was arrested due to his disqualification from the [[666th Goha Dueling Tournament]] and he told Yuga that the Road he needed to take would always be in his heart.<ref name="ep43">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|43|ref}}</ref>

[[Goha President]] gave a speech at the opening ceremonies of the Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal, causing Yuga to realize that Mimi had become the new President. [[Roa Kassidy|Roa]], [[Tyler Getz|Tyler]] and [[Toombs]] then interrupted Mimi's speech and Roa challenged Mimi to a Duel for the right to talk to Otes. Yuga watched the ensuing Duel with Galian, Schubel and Pidgetrap as Roa was pushed into a corner by Mimi's new Deck, which countered his Tribute strategy. Roa was able to counterattack by bringing out his two ace monsters, "[[Royal Rebel's Heavy Metal (anime)|Royal Rebel's Heavy Metal]]" and "[[Royal Rebel's Invasion (anime)|Royal Rebel's Invasion]]", but to Yuga's shock he Tributed them for a new monster, "[[Royal Rebel's Doom Metal (anime)|Royal Rebel's Doom Metal]]", which he used to defeat Mimi. However, Otes had escaped and Tyler and Toombs left Roa for his mistreatment of them. Schubel and Galian had to leave the tournament as well, having been called to Asana's side by [[Caterpillio Elephantis]], though Yuga reassured them it was fine.<ref name="ep44">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|44|ref}}</ref> Before they left, Galian gave Yuga a [[Duel ID cards|Duel ID card]] that Asana had found in her mine, which she had wanted to give to him in person.<ref name="ep45">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|45|ref}}</ref> With both Yuga and Roa without a team, Romin suggested they team up, and Yuga convinced Roa to accept his offer by confirming that he also wanted to know what Otes was up to. As they still needed a third team member, Yuga chose to make up the difference by calling [[Nail Saionji|Nail]], whose account was restored for the tournament.<ref name="ep44" />

Yuga, Roa and Nail quickly rose to the top of the leaderboard as Team YNR. During the first day of the tournament, Roa and Nail gave Yuga two Maximum Monsters that they had acquired from a fan and from Nail's investigations into the Maximum Monsters respectively and Yuga added them and the blank Duel ID card that Asana had given him to his Deck. After a string of victories, Yuga took Roa and Nail to the [[Ramen Hut]], where Nail tasted Rush Ramen for the first time and became enamored with it; Luke, Romin and Gavin arrived afterwards and Luke expressed anger over Yuga "abandoning" him, much to Yuga's confusion. Luke rage prompted them all to discuss the Maximum Monsters circulating in the tournament and Otes' motives, but their discussions were interrupted by [[Tracker]], [[Professor Diggs|Diggs]] and [[Trench]], the former of whom had become suddenly wealthy and who challenged Yuga to a one-on-one Duel. Yuga accepted the Duel after Roa and Nail gave him permission to, though Tracker quickly gained an LP advantage on him by combining "[[Upstart Goblin (anime Rush Duel)|Upstart Goblin]]" and "[[Sneezing Greedizauls (anime)|Sneezing Greedizauls]]". Yuga was able to dismantle Tracker's field with "[[Ice Age Catapult (anime)|Ice Age Catapult]]", but to his surprise Tracker [[Maximum Summon]]ed "[[Dynamic Dino Dynamix (anime)|Dynamic Dino Dynamix]]" and almost defeated Yuga, though Yuga was able to hang on with "[[Curtain of Sparks (anime)|Curtain of Sparks]]". Rayne then arrived and revealed that Tracker, Diggs and Trench had been distributing the Maximum Monsters, which Diggs and Trench further admitted Tracker had created from strip-mining Maximum Mountain of the prototype Duel Disks there. Tracker believed he would win, as Yuga didn't have a Maximum, but Yuga noted that he'd never said he didn't have one, and revealed his possession of "[[Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan (anime)|Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan]]", Maximum Summoning it and using its effects to reduce the ATK of "Dynamix" and Tracker's LP, before defeating Tracker. After the Duel, Yuga noted that it would have been difficult for Tracker to have excavated all the Duel Disks from Maximum Mountain on his own, and Tracker admitted that he'd had help from an individual who called himself "[[Goha 66 (character)|Goha 66]]".<ref name="ep45" />

Yuga and his friends decided to investigate [[Goha 66]]; Yuga, Roa and Nail went to Nexus to search Goha Enterprises database for any mention of them, while Luke, Romin and Gavin headed to Maximum Mountain. Nail's efforts proved unsuccessful, so they returned to the Ramen Hut to take a break, only for Roa to notice that the legend of the King of Duels was on the wall and they asked the [[Ramen Hut Owner|shopkeeper]] why the legend was there, but he only laughed.<ref name="ep46">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|46|ref}}</ref> Rayne arrived and suggested that the shopkeeper was Otes, though by this point Yuga had spotted that the old man was laughing at a comedy routine on his phone and cleared up the misunderstanding. After the shopkeeper calmed down and Rayne left, they asked the shopkeeper about why the legend of the King of Duels was in his restaurant, and he explained that it had been given to him by a customer as payment a long time ago, though he didn't remember who. Yuga, Nail and Roa didn't believe him and tried to intimidate him into remembering, but instead he gave up the secret plan of Goha 66; to create a final firework as they retired from Goha Enterprises.<ref name="ep47">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|47|ref}}</ref> As they left Ramen Hut, Pidgetrap delivered them a note from Luke, explaining that Goha 66 intended to gain access to the main server located in Maximum Mountain to take control of Goha Enterprises, information that even Nail didn't know. They continued participating in the tournament, Nail defeating [[Booster Page]] in a Duel, and after their victory Pidgetrap delivered them a message reading "My best, most awesome plan to take over Goha". [[Oceania Illumilina]] then announced that Yuga's team were in the lead of the tournament with 770 points, and would have a series of final matches the next day with Luke's team on 763 points.<ref name="ep48">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|48|ref}}</ref> [[Valencia Siegle]]'s [[Hubbel Space Binoculars]] gave Yuga an idea; whoever had been behind Goha 66 had been trying to divert their attention underground and away from space, so he asked Booster, [[Lionel Alec|Leo]] and Valencia to use their Hubbel Space Binoculars to examine the moon.<ref name="ep51">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|51|ref}}</ref> He and Nail also prepared for the possiblity Rush Dueling would be attacked during the finals by setting it up to be reinstalled during Yuga's Duel, and using Kaizo (who had been found helping Goha 66 by Luke) as a processor.<ref name="ep52">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|52|ref}}</ref>

As they prepared for the finals next day, Nail had Seatbastian, [[Kit Schrödinger|Kit]] and [[Buff Grimes|Grimes]] examine the data on the tournament for any suspicious activity; Yuga believed that the person who wrote the note was the person who had planned the tournament. They entered Goha Stadium opposite Team King Luke's Kings, Yuga and Luke reaffirming their goals to one another. The first match was between Roa and Romin; Roa gaining an early lead over Romin with "Royal Rebel's Doom Metal", but falling behind as Romin used her new Jam strategy against Roa. Roa gained a second wind after Tyler and Toombs returned to support him, bringing out "Heavy Metal" and "Invasion", and Romin was barely able to survive his ace monsters' attacks. On her next turn Romin used the same combo she had used to defeat Yuga in combination with her "[[Climax Finale (anime)|Climax Finale]]" and "[[Endoll (anime)|Endoll]]", Yuga joining in chanting the monster's name with the rest of the stadium. Romin defeated Roa, putting the two teams on equal ground, while reconciling with the other members of [[RoaRomin]]; Tyler and Toombs offering to help determine who was behind the tournament.<ref name="ep49">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|49|ref}}</ref> The next match was Gavin vs. Nail, a prospect that excited Yuga. Before the Duel he asked Nail if there had been any progress made on the data and Nail confirmed that there hadn't; Roa reassured them that he'd sent Tyler to help them. To Yuga's shock, Gavin unveiled a new "DJ G" persona in an attempt to evolve Sogetsu Style; Roa explained Gavin's puns to Yuga until Romin told him to shut up. Nail easily Maximum Summoned "[[Yggdrago the Sky Emperor (anime)|Yggdrago the Sky Emperor]]" on his first turn and pushed Gavin into a corner, but to Yuga's joy Gavin returned to his usual playstyle and persona on the next turn after a power outage and Tribute Summoned "[[Karchizark the Unequaled (anime)|Karchizark the Unequaled]]", increasing its ATK past "Yggdrago". Despite Gavin's efforts, Nail prevented the destruction of "Yggdrago", though Yuga still believed that Gavin could make a comeback. He was proven right when Gavin was able to withstand "Yggdrago", though Nail forced him to end the Duel in a [[DRAW]] after destroying "Karchizark" with "[[Tribute to The Doomed (anime Rush Duel)|Tribute to The Doomed]]". After the Duel Yuga told Nail that his Duel had been super-fun to watch, and Nail admitted to enjoying himself as well. The next match was then announced; Yuga vs. Luke.<ref name="ep50">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|50|ref}}</ref>

Before the Duel Yuga reminded Nail to be ready for whatever happened and Yuga admitted to Luke how happy he was to be Dueling him in the finals. Luke told Yuga not to lose on purpose and Yuga agreed he would fight his hardest. To Yuga's horror however his starting hand consisted of high-Level monsters and he was barely able to change his hand out with "[[Amazing Dealer (anime)|Amazing Dealer]]", Summon "Sevens Road Magician" and Set some cards. Luke reminded Yuga he said nothing would get in the way of their Duel, not even a bad hand and he Summoned "[[Multistrike Dragon Dragias (anime)|Multistrike Dragon Dragias]]" and "[[Dragorite (anime)|Dragorite]]", destroying "Sevens Road Magician". Before Luke could attack Yuga activated "[[Surprising Barcode]]" to prevent further battle damage if he excavated five monsters in the top seven cards of his Deck, and he succeeded in revealing all three parts of "Vast Vulcan". Reminding Luke that he wasn't holding back, Yuga Maximum Summoned "Vast Vulcan" on his next turn and used its effects to damage Luke and reduce the ATK of "Dragias". Yuga hoped to land the final attack, but Luke activated "[[7 Chance (anime)|7 Chance]]" to draw three cards and gain 3000 LP if he revealed two Level 7 monsters, and he revealed a new ace monster, "[[Steel Strike Dragon Metagias (anime)|Steel Strike Dragon Metagias]]", gaining enough LP to survive. To Yuga's shock the Solid Vision began to fail again, though he was pleased to learn from Tyler that the [[Goha Duel Server]] was being hacked as he finally knew what was happening. Booster, Leo and Valencia then arrived and displayed the footage they'd taken of the moon, which was revealed to have the Goha Duel Server carved into it, and the Rush Duel program at the center in the form of the [[Super Rush Robot]]. Roa noticed the Robot was being eroded by [[Goha Enterprises Drone]]s and Yuga realized this was the true purpose of the tournament Otes had meant and that he was likely behind it; the uninstallation of Rush Dueling.<ref name="ep51" /> Nail and Gavin suggested stopping the Duel would prevent Rush Dueling from being deleted, but Yuga noted this would also prevent people from Rush Dueling ever again and he and Luke decided to continue the Rush Duel, Yuga letting Nail know that he knew what to do and Yuga himself beginning to reinstall Rush Dueling with Kaizo using [[Real-Time Duel Programming]]. To Yuga's shock and amazement, Luke was able to use the effect of "Metagias" in tandem with his "[[Steel Force]]" Trap to destroy "Vast Vulcan", and Yuga brought out "[[Steel Mech Lord Mirror Innovator (anime)|Steel Mech Lord Mirror Innovator]]" and "[[Thunderbold, the Blazing Thunder (anime)|Thunderbold, the Blazing Thunder]]" on his next turn, reviving "Sevens Road Magician" and powering it up. However Luke vowed not to lose and prevented "Metagias" from being destroyed with "[[Unbreakable Barrier]]", managing to hold on with 100 LP. Luke Summoned "[[Illusion Strike Dragon Miragias (anime)|Illusion Strike Dragon Miragias]]" on his next turn and revived "Dragias", activating the multi-attacking effects of all three. Yuga gradually weathered all of Luke's attacks with his own Level 7 monsters he revived with "[[Elemental Rush]]" and when Luke only had one attack left, he returned his monsters to his hand with "[[Sevens Road Force]]" and revived "Sevens Road Magician", planning to defeat Luke next turn. To his utter shock his Summon had triggered Luke's "[[Dragon Encounter (anime)|Dragon Encounter]]" Trap, allowing him to Summon "Dragias" again and attack, destroying "Sevens Road Magician" and defeating Yuga.<ref name="ep52" />

Yuga threw a frustrated tantrum after the Duel, as he'd been so sure he'd beat Luke, but regained his composure and admitted it had been a fun Duel as they shook hands. With Luke's victory the Rush Duel program was finally destroyed and Rush Dueling was uninstalled, but to Yuga's joy his efforts to reinstall it had succeeded and he revealed what he and Nail had done. Nail further confirmed that Rush Dueling had been reinstalled in the form of a new Super Rush Robot made from space debris that would be harder to destroy, and as the crowd cheered for Rush Dueling and Gavin and Romin congratulated Yuga and Luke on immortalizing it, Yuga gave Luke the thumbs up before watching his coronation as King of Duels.<ref name="ep52" />

====Goha 6 Siblings====
Following his Duel with [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]], Yuga had [[Asana Mutsuba|Asana]] reinforce his "[[Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan (anime)|Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan]]" cards.<ref name="ep58">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|58|ref}}</ref> After dreaming about the [[Super Rush Robot]] saving him, [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]], [[Romin Kassidy|Romin]] and [[Gavin Sogetsu|Gavin]] from a meteor, Yuga watched a new story on the Robot at the [[Road Laboratory]] until [[Kaizo]] told him he'd be late for school. As Yuga rode to school he found [[Ricky]] and [[Katz]] talking about the robot and he proudly told them its name. After they admitted how much they'd come to love [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Dueling]] even more due to the [[Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal]], Yuga eagerly challenged them to a Rush Duel only to be told off by [[Rino Nanahoshi|Rino]] and [[Rayne Nanahoshi|Rayne]] given Rush Dueling on the way to school was forbidden. At school Gavin and Romin showed Yuga how arrogantly Luke was behaving and that he was scaring off potential [[Rush Duel Club]] members, though Yuga didn't see it as an issue given everyone was still enjoying Rush Dueling and he was more concerned about [[Otes]]' motives, deciding to confront him after school. However he was waylaid by a ladybug on his cheek and sent a terrified message to Kaizo while remaining rooted in one spot with a "HELP" sign until a boy in a chameleon costume took the ladybug off. After apologizing to Kaizo for calling him out for nothing, Yuga talked with the boy, who he dubbed "[[Yuga Goha|Swirls]]" and learned he had been forced to join the Rush Duel Club by Luke. He asked if Swirls hated Rush Dueling, and decided to show him the [[Hologram Man's chamber]] as thanks for saving him. At the chamber Yuga called out for Otes, who appeared from [[The Relic]] and told Yuga he would have to Duel him to get the answers he wanted. Having expected this, Yuga stated Swirls would be Dueling instead, scaring Swirls into fleeing straight into Luke, Romin and Gavin. After some encouragement from everyone, Swirls agreed to Duel, borrowing Yuga's Deck and [[Duel Disk]] despite this being the first time he'd Rush Dueled. Swirls and Otes recreated the opening moves Yuga and Otes had played in their first Duel and Yuga encouraged Swirls to enjoy fighting "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime Rush Duel)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]". Swirls was despondent after only drawing one card though he admitted he was enjoying the Duel until Yuga informed him he could draw until he had five cards in his hand. Swirls once again recreated Yuga's moves until he drew with "[[Mystic Dealer (anime)|Mystic Dealer]]", getting "[[Sevens Road Wiz (anime)|Sevens Road Wiz]]" instead of "[[Sevens Road Magician (anime)|Sevens Road Magician]]", but after Yuga encouraged him not to look down when he misunderstood his card effects he used the effect of "Sevens Road Wiz" to reduce the ATK of "Blue-Eyes" to zero and defeated Otes. After the Duel Yuga asked Otes whey he'd tried to uninstall Rush Dueling and Otes coyly asked if Yuga had any proof it was him, adding that it was arguably a benefit given how much stronger Rush Dueling was now before vanishing. At school the next day Luke hid in the clubroom, and Romin and Gavin explained they'd asked Tiger to bring down Luke's ego by leaking his "The Lukeman" manga to the [[Newspaper Club]]. They found Swirls, who had joined the Rush Duel Club, standing guard for Luke and Yuga speculated Luke had seen a younger version of himself in Swirls.<ref name="ep53">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|53|ref}}</ref>

Romin recruited Yuga and [[Buff Grimes|Grimes]] to wash Swirls, [[Yosh Imimi|Yosh]] and the [[Music Club]] members' costumes and Yuga and Kaizo used Yuga's new [[Blowvinator]] to dry them off. As they did so, [[Star Six|a massive spaceship]] docked with the [[Goha Enterprises Main Office]] and the true [[Goha Enterprises|Goha]] Presidents, the [[Goha Six]], addressed Yuga directly, confirming they were ousting [[Mimi Imimi|Mimi]] from the position and challenged Yuga to Rush Duels. After [[Yuro Goha|the eldest sibling]] warned Yuga he would not be able to refuse, [[Booster Page|Booster]] called Yuga and revealed the Super Rush Robot was being forced to do stretches by what the Goha Six called [[Forcersizers]]; Yuga realized this would eventually shake the robot apart. The eldest sibling confirmed that defeating them all would remove the restraints, but six losses from Yuga and his friends would mean Yuga would become a Goha employee, though Yuga didn't seem to mind. The eldest sibling, Yuro Goha, then challenged Yuga to a [[Turbo Duel|Turbo Rush Duel]], offering him several machines to use, but Yuga decided to use his Blowvinator with Kaizo and [[Nail Saionji|Nail]] created a racetrack for them to Duel on. Yuro took the first turn, admitting the high-speed nature of Rush Dueling suited him and Yuga agreed. He used "[[Sevens Road Witch (anime)|Sevens Road Witch]]" to [[Special Summon]] "Sevens Road Magician" and gained an early lead, [[Set]]ting "[[Dark Revelation (anime)|Dark Revelation]]". However on Yuro's next turn he Summoned [[Air Formula Eagle (anime)|three]] [[Cyber-Tech Alligator (anime Rush Duel)|powerful]] [[WIND]] [[Sky Dragon (anime Rush Duel)|monsters]] as they passed into a dark tunnel, where Yuga and Kaizo had difficulty maneuvering. Despite his monsters having enough ATK to defeat Yuga, Yuro instead lowered their ATK to destroy "Dark Revelation" and attack successfully. Having barely survived, Yuga asked Kaizo to keep helping him and planned to use "[[Lightning Voltcondor (anime)|Lightning Voltcondor]]" to weaken Yuro's WIND monster, but was thwarted by Yuro's "[[First Wind]]", preventing monsters other than WIND Normal Monsters from attacking while he controlled his "[[Following World (anime)|Following World]]" [[Field Spell Card|Field Spell]]. Yuga revived "[[Spell Archer (anime)|Spell Archer]]", which qualified to attack, but instead of attacking he used it to activate "[[Magical Stream (anime)|Magical Stream]]" and destroy "Following World", allowing all his monsters to attack and defeat Yuro. After the Duel Yuro deactivated one of the restraints as he'd promised, but was then forced to step down as president by [[Yuo Goha|his youngest sibling]]. Yuga asked Yuro what he would do now, and Yuro reassured him he would enjoy his newfound freedoms before leaving.<ref name="ep54">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|54|ref}}</ref>

Two days later Yuga watched the Super Rush Robot moving on the moon with Romin, Gavin and Kaizo and was taken aback by the passionate arrival of the second eldest Goha Six, [[Yujin Goha]], who challenged Yuga to a Rush Duel. Yujin had Nail create an artificial sea for his Duel that Romin nearly fell into, though fortunately she was rescued by Yuro and Yuga asked if she was all right. Yuga asked Yuro why he was at [[Goha 7 Elementary|Goha #7 Elementary]], and Yuro revealed he'd transferred to the school. After [[Seatbastian]] gave Yuga and his friends swimwear Yujin challenged Yuga from the water, but as Yuga couldn't swim Luke took the challenge instead. Yujin began with "[[Umi (anime Rush Duel)|Umi]]" and several [[Sea Serpent]] monsters Yuro noted he hadn't seen before, and Yujin claimed to have been given the treasure of the sea by [[Finn|a dolphin]] he'd met the previous night. After he endured Luke's attacks, Yujin made good on his claim by Summoning "[[Levia-Dragon - Daedalus (anime Rush Duel)|Levia-Dragon - Daedalus]]" and destroying all other cards on the field, almost defeating Luke and Yuga admitted Yujin's strength was real. Luke was able to comeback with "[[Steel Strike Dragon Metagias (anime)|Steel Strike Dragon Metagias]]" on his next turn and weaken "Daedalus" with his "[[Fortitude Dragon (anime)|Fortitude Dragon]]s", and though Yujin attempted to defeat Luke by drawing "Umi" with his "[[Dolphin Counterattack (anime)|Dolphin Counterattack]]", he drew "[[Stream (anime)|Stream]]" instead and the sea was drained due to Kaizo getting stuck in the plug. Luke defeated Yujin, deactivating the second restraint from the Super Rush Robot.<ref name="ep55">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|55|ref}}</ref>

Yuga, Romin, Kaizo and Swirls watched the Super Rush Robot stretching with the four remaining restraints and Romin believed the rest of the Goha Six would be easy to defeat, though Yuro cautioned her against underestimating his siblings. After Gavin tried telling off Yuro for riding his [[Duel Runner]], Luke slid in beside them in a baseball uniform and revealed he'd signed the Rush Duel Club up for the [[Goha Monsters]] tryouts due to a desire to become the "king of Base-Stealing" and claim Yuga's seat when he eventually became Goha President. Yuga attended tryouts with Luke, Romin, Gavin and Swirls, but his lack of athleticism led to a poor showing. [[Yuka Goha]] then arrived and challenged Romin to a Rush Duel, and to Yuga's exasperation Luke immediately interrupted the Duel to give Romin some cards. Although Romin started well, Yuka's Baseball Deck quickly pushed her into a corner and on Romin's second turn Luke began trying to signal her. Yuga eventually realized Luke had given Romin some of his cards and Luke explained the cards had asked to be taken to the Dueling baseball world, stunning Yuga. Despite this Romin was able to use Luke's "[[Sportsdragon Closer (anime)|Sportsdragon Closer]]" to her advantage and almost defeated Yuka, but Yuka survived with her "[[Requesting 9 (anime)|Requesting 9]]" Trap and revived her "[[Player 39: Home Run Hitter (anime)|Player #39: Home Run Hitter]]" on her next turn, using its effect to double its ATK and defeat Romin. Romin apologized to Yuga for losing, though Yuga reassured her the Goha Six were tough opponents. After Yuka tried to get Romin to join the Goha Monsters, Luke apologized to Yuga for trying to take his eventual spot as Goha President through subterfuge and vowed to do so fairly, forcing Yuga and Gavin to stop him from ''actually'' stealing a base.<ref name="ep56">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|56|ref}}</ref>

As Yuga, Romin, Kaizo and Swirls watched the Super Rush Robot's stretches, Romin apologized again for losing and Luke crowed they'd be fine with him on their side, prompting Rayne to shush them while Gavin was working on [[Goha 7 Elementary Student Council|Student Council]] work. After Gavin finished, the [[Kendo Club]]'s [[Shinken Tsurugi]] and [[Kotetsuki Mendo]] arrived and asked Gavin to substitute for them in the weekend's kendo tournament as they had been injured by Tiger when they asked her to train them and misnamed her, prompting Yuga to comment she had incapacitated them before the training could start. Gavin agreed to help, so Yuga went with him to the [[Goha Martial Arts Stadium]] that weekend, only to find it deserted save [[Yuran Goha]] and his attendant Drone [[Mrs. Drone]], who challenged them to a [[Kendo Rush Duel]]. Yuga was interested by the combination, prompting Mrs. Drone to admonish him for taking it lightly and Gavin accepted the challenge, claiming his [[Sogetsu Style]] training made him best for the Duel and pairing with Rino. Despite Yuran's defensive play, Gavin was able to land the first strike, though both Yuga and Luke had noticed something about Yuran's Dueling even though he seemed to leave everything to Mrs. Drone. After Swirls turned up with Shinken's rival [[Ryu Nito]], Ryu revealed Yuran had defeated all the tournament participants in one stroke and Yuran began to Duel for himself, claiming he knew everything he needed to about Gavin. He swiftly destroyed Gavin's "[[Kimeruler the Dark Raider (anime)|Kimeruler the Dark Raider]]" and evened their gap in [[LP]] and Yuro arrived and noted this was how Yuran Dueled. Despite this Gavin shored up his defenses against Yuran's Traps, only to be countered by "[[Sword & Shield (anime)|Sword & Shield]]", which switched the ATK and [[DEF]] of Gavin's "[[Kimeluna the Dark Shifter (anime)|Kimeluna the Dark Shifter]]" and Yuran's "[[Millennium Shield (anime)|Millennium Shield]]", defeating Gavin as Mrs. Drone explained this was Yuran's counterattack strategy. Yuga realized that Yuran had planned the Duel from the start as he watched him leave.<ref name="ep57">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|57|ref}}</ref>

With their score tied 2-2 with the Goha Six, Gavin held a meeting to determine how to combat the Goha Six, though Luke told Yuga he'd come after eating at the [[Ramen Hut]] and Yuga explained so to Gavin, much to his exasperation. Mimi then arrived to give them some advice in her Mysterious M guise, and Yuga cheerfully addressed her by name and almost revealed her identity to Swirls, forcing him to cover up his mistake. Mimi showed them a presentation on an OHP that Yuga geeked out over, explaining that they would likely Duel Yuo Goha next, the youngest and strongest of the Goha Six. They then heard Luke screaming in the corridors and rushed out to find the hall full of puppets that Yuro ran down, pointing out the Goha Six's ship, Star Six and explaining they were Yuo's work. Yuo descended and greeted them, comparing them to his puppets and calling them pathetic plebians trying hard for nothing, Yuga noted that was a strange way to think and accepted Yuo's challenge inside a circus tent Nail provided for him, Although Yuga Summoned "[[Daybreak Warrior (anime)|Daybreak Warrior]]" and both his "[[Raidacross, Hero of the Dawn (anime)|Raida]][[Raidacross, Hero of the Dusk (anime)|cross]]" monsters, Yuo Summoned "[[Daigyakutenno Megami (anime)|Daigyakutenno Megami]]" and used its effect to destroy the two "Raidacross" before attacking "Daybreak Warrior". Yuga made a comeback by [[Maximum Summon]]ing "Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan", but Yuo used his "[[Imaginary Arc Turret]]" Trap to prevent monsters with 2500 more more ATK from attacking, Yuga circumvented the condition by using the effect of "Vast Vulcan" on itself to weaken it enough to attack, but then "Vast Vulcan" began to glitch and Kaizo arrived with the [[Duelstronauts]]'s [[Hubbel Space Binoculars]], revealing the right arm of the Super Rush Robot, which contained the data for Maximum Summoning, had been shaken off. Fortunately the Robot reattached its arm of its own accord and Yuga thanked it before attacking with "Vast Vulcan" and destroying "Daigyakutenno Megami". Yuo praised Yuga's efforts but claimed he'd been dancing to his strings all along and on his next turn he used a [[Spell Card]], "[[Fusion (anime Rush Duel)|Fusion]]" to [[Fusion Material|fuse]] his "[[Imaginary Actor (anime)|Imaginary Actor]]" and "[[Sword Dancer (anime)|Sword Dancer]]" into the [[Cyborg]] "[[Metarion Ashurastar (anime)|Metarion Ashurastar]]". After baiting Yuga with its first effect to destroy a [[Set]] card, Yuo revealed the second [[Multi-Choice Effect]] of "Metarion Ashurastar" allowed it to gain the ATK of the [[Warrior]] "Vast Vulcan", and "Metarion Ashurastar" destroyed "Vast Vulcan", defeating Yuga. Yuga could only ask what that had been, and Yuo taunted him with the name; "Fusion".<ref name="ep58" />

Yuga continued to dwell on where Yuo's "Fusion" had come from, the thought exciting him so much he couldn't sleep. The following day he worked on his air conditioning Road, his restless mannerisms scaring his friends and he told them he wanted to go see Yuo, bringing Luke, Romin and Gavin with him and Kaizo to Star Six. After they crashed, Kaizo blamed Yuga's bad driving and Yuga apologized, stumbling through the ship in a daze until Yuo finally sent the [[President Drone]] to bring Yuga to him. Yuga asked Yuo if he had created "Fusion", and Yuo confirmed he didn't know where it came from. The notion excited Yuga so much he snapped out of his daze and excitedly told Yuo of the possibilities this meant, explaining to him, Luke, Romin and Gavin he'd been too tired to sleep before finally drifting off, his energy spent. Yuga remained asleep through the chase that followed until they were rescued by Tiger and Kaizo, and they were brought back to the Road Laboratory by Yuro, though Kaizo was trapped in Yuo's iron maiden and launched into space. After waking up Yuga thanked Yuro for taking Tiger and her club members home as they fixed his damaged air conditioning Road, and Yuro told Yuga that Yuo's "Fusion" card had been in space debris that hit [[Goha Space Elementary]] before departing. Mimi and Swirls, who had been at [[Goha Library]] looking for clues, then arrived with a book called "[[SEVENS (book)|SEVENS]]" that they believed Otes had used as the inspiration for the "[[Sevens Road]]" cards. They showed the story to Yuga, which had some missing pages before the magician in the story was shown with his six friends apparently slain. Swirls wasn't sure this would be a hint on countering "Fusion", but the story gave Yuga an idea.<ref name="ep60">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|60|ref}}</ref>

Yuga took his friends to have dinner with [[RoaRomin]] at the [[Big Seven Arena]], where he excitedly told [[Roa Kassidy|Roa]] about "Fusion" and how exciting he found it. After dinner Yuga took them all outside to watch for the [[Goha Meteor Shower]], musing that the odds of seeing it were as astronomical as them all meeting and Dueling. The [[Goha Baseball Stadium]] then appeared from the ground and Yuka arrived to challenge their best slugger, with Romin eager to accept his challenge, but Roa taking the Duel instead to avenge her. Roa gained an early lead with "[[Royal Rebel's Doom Metal (anime)|Royal Rebel's Doom Metal]]", though Yuka was able to blunt his efforts. As she began her turn Yuka clutched her shoulder in pain and after insisting it was nothing she screamed at the sky that the Goha Six were the six of them united, vowing to win the game. She destroyed Roa's "[[Royal Rebel's Arena (anime)|Royal Rebel's Arena]]" and Summoned "[[Player 99: Grand Slam Dragon (anime)|Player #99: Grand Slam Dragon]]", using its effect to revive "Home Run Hitter" and almost defeated Roa, though he was able to barely survive by reviving "Doom Metal" and preventing it from being destroyed by battle. On Roa's next turn Yuka prevented him from attacking with high-[[Level]] monsters, so he [[Tribute]]d "Doom Metal" to use "[[Destiny Introduction]]" and draw more card, risking damage if he drew [[Effect Monster]]s. Fortunately Roa drew two Normal Monsters and used them in conjunction with Spells to strengthen them and weaken Yuka's monsters, allowing him to defeat her. Yuka fled in tears, crying that Yuo would never succeed as he was missing something. Afterwards they went to watch for the Goha Meteor Shower again, but decided they had missed it and went home.<ref name="ep61">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|61|ref}}</ref>

The following day after school Tiger called Yuga, Romin, Gavin and Swirls to the Music Club and revealed Luke had gone missing after he came home. Yuga tried to search for Luke with his "Last Night's Dinner" Road, but shocked Tiger instead after she told him Luke had curry for dinner the previous night, given Tiger had eaten the same thing. Tiger explained Luke had eaten his own [[Bunker Strike Curry]], allowing Yuga to track him outside Goha City. Tiger accompanied them, grumbling about being dragged into the mess and Yuga suggested she was worried for him. Eventually they tracked Luke's signal to the [[Goha Sixth Quarry]], where Nail projected two pillars for a Duel and they were challenged by Yuo. Luke suddenly emerged from the trees wearing a draconian helmet and calling himself "[[The Lukeman]]" and he accepted Yuo's challenge, so Yuga decided to leave proceedings to him. Yuo started with "Daigyakutenno Megami" and backed it up with "Imaginary Arc Turret", Yuga wary of Yuo's "Fusion". Luke was able to Summon "[[The Star Dragon (anime)|The Star Dragon]]" and weaken it enough to attack while weakening "Daigyakutenno Megami" further, but on his next turn Yuo activated "Fusion" to fuse "Imaginary Actor" with "[[Serpainter (anime)|Serpainter]]" into "[[Metarion Vritrastar (anime)|Metarion Vritrastar]]", a different Cyborg monster to the one Yuga had faced, and it wielded an anti-[[Dragon]] effect that destroyed "The Star Dragon". Despite Yuo powering "Metarion Vritrastar" up, Luke was able to survive the attack and to Yuga's pleased surprise, he played his own copy of "Fusion", fusing "[[Multistrike Dragon Dragias (anime)|Multistrike Dragon Dragias]]" with "[[The Dragon (anime)|The Dragon]]" into "[[Hyperstrike Dragon Dragiastar F (anime)|Hyperstrike Dragon Dragiastar F]]". Yuo attempted to destroy "Dragiastar F" with "[[Imaginary Arc Turbulence (anime)|Imaginary Arc Turbulence]]" by matching its [[Type]] with the Dragon "Serpainter" in his [[Graveyard]], but to Yuga's joy the attempt failed as "Dragiastar F" was a [[High Dragon]] monster, and Luke defeated Yuo, who retreated to Star Six. Afterwards the helmet Luke was wearing vanished and he had no memory of his actions. Yuga then witnessed the next presidential meeting as Yuran tried to evict Yuo for his loss, only for Yuo to reveal he had the badge of the last Goha Six and remove Yuran as president for conspiring against him with their siblings, leaving Yuo the sole Goha President.<ref name="ep62">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|62|ref}}</ref>

After Luke returned to the Goha Sixth Quarry to look for "Fusion", Yuga, Romin and Gavin discussed his memory loss at the Road Laboratory. Mrs. Drone then arrived, having been hacked by Yuo to spy on his siblings, begging Yuga to repair her, and Yuga agreed to do so, discussing the unseen sixth Goha Six with his friends as he repaired Mrs. Drone. As he finished, holographic screens showing Luke appeared and he proclaimed he was the sixth of the Goha Six and begun the day's match by challenging Roa to a Rush Duel, as he had been caught sneaking into the Goha Enterprises Main Office. Yuga watched the ensuing Duel as Luke continued to arrogantly proclaim his power even after a brief depression from Roa decrying who he was now, and Luke eventually defeated Roa's [[Signature card|ace monsters]] with his own. After Roa, Mimi and Swirls were kicked out of the building they came to the Road Laboratory and Mimi explained the helmet Luke had been wearing was a Goha helmet from the President's office, while Roa revealed his theory that Luke himself couldn't use "Fusion" and only The Lukeman could. Yuga found the news interesting, but kept this thoughts to himself.<ref name="ep63">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|63|ref}}</ref>

The rest of the Goha Six came to the Road Laboratory to ask for Yuga's help in stopping Yuo. Yuga remained quiet until the topic of Luke being a Goha came up, but Tiger arrived and confirmed Luke wasn't a Goha. She took Yuga, Romin, Gavin and Swirls to [[Kallister family mansion|her house]] to meet their great-grandfather [[Valencian Kallister|Vance]], and Yuga struck up a quick rapport with him over their shared interest in gears. As Vance reaffirmed that Luke wasn't a Goha they heard Luke calling for his mother, prompting Tiger to hunt him down and yell him outside to Rush Duel him, angered over his betrayal of their name. During the Duel Luke hinted he knew he wasn't a Goha, but insisted he didn't want to inherit [[Kallister Gears]]. Tiger easily pushed Luke into a corner, but Yuga realized their Duel wasn't over yet and was proven right when the helmet Mimi had told them about appeared again and took control of Luke, putting him under the persona of The Lukeman. The Lukeman survived Tiger's attacks and using "Fusion" on his next turn to Fusion Summon "Hyperstrike Dragon Dragiastar F", defeating Tiger with its other Multi-Choice Effect. Yuo took The Lukeman away after the Duel, but The Lukeman addressing Tiger as "Terror Tiger" and Vance's likening of "Fusion" to a set of gears working had caught Yuga's attention.<ref name="ep64">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|64|ref}}</ref> He deduced that The Lukeman had created "Fusion" from program cards found in satellites Nail had destroyed as a toddler and also theorized that The Lukeman himself to be an electronic lifeform created from the original manga when Tiger was trying to fax it. Realizing The Lukeman only wanted to fight evil with Luke, Yuga decided to indulge in that desire and prove they weren't his enemies. He met with Yuro and asked the rest of the Goha Six, Mrs. Drone and Mimi to help him with his plan by creating a scenario through cosplay that would allow them to make peace with The Lukeman while still allowing them to Rush Duel to save the Super Rush Robot.<ref name="ep66">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|66|ref}}</ref>

Asana contacted Yuga and asked him to meet outside Goha City; Yuga, Romin, Gavin and Swirls met with Asana, [[Galian Townsend|Galian]], [[Schubel Quill|Schubel]], [[Pidgetrap Quill|Pidgetrap]] and [[Caterpillio Elephantis|Caterpillio]]. Asana took them to a tiger-shaped outcrop that Tiger had been carving after her loss, where she had exhausted herself through training, catching Tiger when she fell. Tiger wanted to continue after she awoke and volunteered to Duel when Star Six arrived, but after Tiger passed out again Asana asked to Duel instead and Yuga agreed. To Yuga's shock, Yuo revealed Nail would be Dueling, Nail reiterating his impartiality but admitting he had to obey the orders of Goha President. Nail Maximum Summoned "[[Yggdrago the Sky Emperor (anime)|Yggdrago the Sky Emperor]]" on his first turn and Asana opposed it by using her friends' [[Signature card|ace monsters]] with "[[Bucket Wheel Force]]" to increase the ATK of "[[Constructor Wyrm Buildragon (anime)|Constructor Wyrm Buildragon]]" to match "Yggdrago", a strategy she credited to Yuga's influence, but Nail "[[Emergency Return (anime)|returned]] "Yggdrago" to his hand to negate Asana's attack as Yuga had done with "[[Supreme Machine Magnum Overlord (anime)|Magnum Overlord]]" during his and Nail's second Rush Duel, claiming Asana wasn't the only one who Yuga had changed. Nail Maximum Summoned "Yggdrago" again and when Asana defended with her friends' aces, Nail used "Yggdrago's" Maximum effects and "[[Tribute to The Doomed (anime Rush Duel)|Tribute to The Doomed]]" to destroy two of her monsters. Yuga was shocked when Nail Tributed "Yggdrago" to Tribute Summon "[[Viscom Nanotron (anime)|Viscom Nanotron]]", but quickly realized Nail was aiming to re-use the effect of "Yggdrago" to destroy Asana's last monster. Asana was able to survive by reducing the ATK of "Yggdrago" and Summoned a new ace, "[[Constructor Sky Wyrm Gantry Dragon (anime)|Constructor Sky Wyrm Gantry Dragon]]", reviving "Buildragon" and "[[Constructor Demolisher Wyrm Drake Crush (anime)|Constructor Demolisher Wyrm Drake Crush]]", reducing the ATK of "Yggdrago" and powering up "Drake Crush" with "Bucket Wheel Force". Nail [[Pair Collision (anime)|protected]] "Yggdrago" from Asana's first attack and Yuga realized Nail had enjoyed the Duel and wanted to prolong it as Asana's other attacks destroyed "Yggdrago" and defeated Nail. Yuga praised Asana's victory and was shocked when Nail resigned from Goha and left with Seatbastian, claiming he had always been alone. Yuo noted their score was 5-5, and though Gavin argued it should be 5-3 as Luke was one of their friends, Yuga told Yuo to keep it at 5-5 and challenged the newly arrived The Lukeman to a Duel.<ref name="ep65">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|65|ref}}</ref>

As he had planned, Yuga had The Lukeman clad in a dragon costume for their Rush Duel that The Lukeman dubbed his "ultimate form". The Lukeman Summoned "The Star Dragon" and Yuga opposed him with "Sevens Road Witch" and "Sevens Road Magician", using darker Summon chants for them, and when The Lukeman [[The Block (anime)|changed]] them to Defense Position, Yuga donned the costume of "Yuga the Destructor" and used "[[The Destructor's Force]]" to change his monsters back to Attack Position (calling "Sevens Road Magician" "Sevens Road ''Majin''cian" in the Japanese version) and destroying "The Star Dragon". The Lukeman retaliated on his next turn by Fusion Summoning "Hyperstrike Dragon Dragiastar F" and using the Multi-Choice Effect that had defeated Tiger, but Yuga the Destructor was able to barely survive after using "[[Magical Switch]]" to ensure "Sevens Road Magician" took both attacks. In response to The Lukeman's claim he didn't understand his power, Yuga claimed Luke was the one who didn't understand and moved to the next step of his plan, donning a new costume and dubbing himself "The Yugaman".<ref name="ep66" /> Yuga's friends all joined him in costume, having had the situation explained by the Goha Six, and they convinced The Lukeman they were his allies and that he had been manipulated by the Goha Aliens (portrayed by the Goha Six) who took The Rockin' Romin "hostage" to force The Yugaman and The Lukeman to continue Rush Dueling. Yuga destroyed "Dragiastar F" with "[[Ultimate Flag Mech Ace Breaker (anime)|Ultimate Flag Mech Ace Breaker]]", but The Lukeman prevented his direct attack and returned three Spells to his Deck to increase his LP with "[[Peace Dragon (anime)|Peace Dragon]]". Although Yuo believed The Lukeman was throwing the Duel, he redrew the "Fusion" he'd returned to his Deck and activated it again, Fusion Summoning "[[Full Moon Dragon Umbralancer F (anime)|Full Moon Dragon Umbralancer F]]" and reviving "Dragiastar F". Yuga was able to revive enough monsters to survive the turn and used "[[Sevens Glory]]" to revive "Sevens Road Magician" on his next turn, planning to use its increased Level to attack all of The Lukeman's monsters with "[[Scattered Solitude]]". To his shock, The Lukeman [[Lode Crusher|returned]] all the monsters in Yuga's Graveyard to his Deck to prevent him from using the effect of "Sevens Road Magician", so Yuga gambled with "[[1/Infinity]]" to draw a card that could help him, though he would take enough damage to lose if he didn't draw the same card as The Lukeman. However The Lukeman drew "Fusion", which Yuga didn't have, though despite the odds Yuga noted the odds of the strange situation they were in and believed he could still win.<ref name="ep67">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|67|ref}}</ref>

To Yuga's shock a meteor entered the atmosphere and fell towards him, and despite the worries of his friends, Yuga blocked the meteor with his Duel Disk and shattered it. The meteor had been the remains of one of the destroyed satellites, containing a "Fusion" that Yuga drew, and he fused "Sevens Road Magician" with "[[Swordsman of Roadstar (anime)|Swordsman of Roadstar]]" into "[[Sevens Paladin (anime)|Sevens Paladin]]", which could gain ATK based on the Attributes in ''both'' Graveyards, though Yuga still needed to send an [[EARTH]] monster to his Graveyard to make "Sevens Paladin" strong enough to win. Excavating the EARTH "[[Straynge Cat (anime)|Straynge Cat]]", he empowered "Sevens Paladin" with "Scattered Solitude" and destroyed all of The Lukeman's monsters, defeating him. As he and The Lukeman thanked one another, Yuo refused to accept the outcome and tried to destroy the Super Rush Robot with Star Six, only for the iron maiden containing Kaizo to re-enter the atmosphere and release Kaizo, who crashed into Star Six and detonated Romin's [[Prima Guitarna Curry]] that had been left there, crashing the ship. Yuo reluctantly released the Super Rush Robot and The Lukeman released Luke into Yuga's arms before thanking Yuga for such a memorable meeting and returning to space. The question of removing Yuo from his position came up, and though the President Drone protested Yuo couldn't be removed without a replacement, Mimi claimed Swirls was the sixth Goha Six, though the sixth badge didn't recognize him. Yuga then asked for Yuo to retain his presidency in exchange for reinstating his siblings and hiring Yuga as a Goha employee.<ref name="ep69" />

====Goha Employee====
Yuga planned to work on two main projects with [[Goha Enterprises]]'s resources; creating his "Original Duel Development" Road to allow anyone to use a custom format, and to work on stabilizing [[Maximum Monster]]s with [[Nail Saionji|Nail]], so he asked Yuo to re-hire Nail and repaired [[Seatbastian]] for Nail.<ref name="ep77">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|77|ref}}</ref> However even after explaining his motives to Nail, Nail refused to rejoin [[Goha Enterprises]] and told Yuga he would inherit his responsibilities, suggesting his friends help him by becoming Goha employees too. As a result, [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]], [[Romin Kassidy|Romin]], [[Gavin Sogetsu|Gavin]], [[Yuga Goha|Swirls]], [[Rayne Nanahoshi|Rayne]] and [[Rino Nanahoshi|Rino]] were all employed at Goha with Yuga. Yuga worked in the Department of Duel Operations, quickly becoming Section 5 Manager, and he rose to the challenge to maintaining the Duel systems of the world by modifying [[Kaizo]] to use Nail's Providence Algorithm. As he rode through the hallways on his [[Duel-cycle]] one day he was stopped by Gavin, who had joined the Department of Internal Discipline's Serious Division and who told him off for breaking regulations, though Yuga quickly biked away and claimed to be in a hurry.<ref name="ep69">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|69|ref}}</ref>

As Yuga was working on "[[Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan (anime)|Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan]]" with Kaizo one day he fell asleep and dreamed of the day [[Nana Nanahoshi|Nana]] claimed a ladybug was eating her, causing him to awaken in a panic, and his terror was further exacerbated when he found a real ladybug on his sleeve. Yuga, Romin and Luke then went to meet the students from [[Goha 5 Elementary|Goha #5 Elementary]], on a field trip to Goha Enterprises and reunited with the [[Duelstronauts]] and [[Kit Schrödinger]], who introduced his friends [[Muttsy Pavlov]] and [[Grizzle Maxwell]] to them. As they showed the Goha 5th students around Rayne and Rino informed them one group had gone missing, the [[Battle Bug Club]], and Yuga panicked over leaving "Vast Vulcan" out and rushed to his office, confirming the Maximum Monsters were safe. To his shock, the door to his office was cut down by the Battle Bug Club as they faced off against Luke, and then Swirls arrived leading Nana with the large ladybug on her head. Terrified, Yuga fled with Kaizo and connected him to Goha Enterprises' power plant, intending to overload it to destroy the entire building just to get rid of the ladybug, but Luke was able to talk him into [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Dueling]] Nana instead. Yuga's fear drove him to Rush Duel recklessly, trying to destroy Nana's monsters with "[[Magical Firestorm (anime)|Magical Firestorm]]" and defeat her in one turn, but overlooking the protective effect of her "[[Sunny Forest (anime)|Sunny Forest]]". Nana Summoned her three "[[Malefi Ladybug of the Sleeping Forest]]" and destroyed Yuga's monsters, and though Yuga was able to survive the turn the fear of the ladybugs overwhelmed him and he fled. Luke stopped him from running and set off [[Luke's wristwatch|his watch]], shutting down Goha Enterprises's power and telling Yuga he had to stop Nana to stop the ladybugs from eating everyone, convincing Yuga to return to the Rush Duel. He drew "Vast Vulcan" on his next turn, but to his shock it had been affected by the Pauli effect from Luke's watch and transformed into new Maximum Monsters, "[[Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord (anime)|Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord]]". Yuga Maximum Summoned the new monster, using its effects to deplete Nana's LP and attack all of her monsters and defeat her. The impact knocked the ladybug off Nana's head, and Yuga was surprised to learn it had been a hat all along. Nana left peacefully, claiming that she'd see Yuga and Swirls again soon.<ref name="ep70" />

After another morning where Gavin tried to tell him off for riding his Duel-cycle indoors, Yuga had a meeting with the [[Goha Six]] one day, save Yuo, where they pitched an idea to him that he considered interesting and he admitted he had a lot of interesting ideas himself. As he left his office for lunch that day he ran into Luke, before Gavin ran past them in a panic and Luke called Gavin out for running in the halls. Gavin explained that it was an emergency, as Romin was Dueling [[Mimi Imimi|Mimi]] for not trying her curry and he was worried that mixing Romin's [[Dragias Curry]] and [[Prima Guitarna Curry]] would destroy the building. Yuga and Luke accompanied Gavin to the Gohanium Section's Explosive Proof Laboratory where Romin and Mimi were Rush Dueling to watch the Duel from behind explosive-proof glass. Yuga quickly forgot the danger of the curries to enjoy Romin and Mimi's Rush Duel, though he was given an explosive reminder when a droplet of the to curries mixing blew out the window. Mimi pushed Romin into a corner by [[Bubbleburst Shock! (anime)|destroying]] all of her monsters, but Romin was able to survive by [[Shocking Comeback!! (anime)|increasing her]] [[LP]] and [[Fusion Summon]]ed "[[CAN:D LIVE (anime)|CAN:D LIVE]]" on her next turn, a monster Yuga found cool. Romin defeated Mimi, but [[Dr. Delta]], [[Dr. Gamma]] and [[Dr. Zeta]] took all the curry to experiment on before Mimi could try it, though Yuga noticed that the hungry Luke had disappeared. Yuga, Gavin and Mimi went back upstairs to watch Romin cooking some other dishes and noted how happy she looked, but were shocked to see a small explosion and they hurried back downstairs to find that Luke had set the curries of in his hunger and was eating them.<ref name="ep71">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|71|ref}}</ref>

Yuga presented a new vending machine in the Duel Department when Luke and his subordinates visited him. Yuga asked if Luke wanted to watch the presentation, but Luke stated they were just passing through and didn't need any presents. [[Hicks]]' dog [[Graves]] then urinated on the vending machine that Yuga had plugged Kaizo into, resulting in Hicks and [[Mason]] being kicked out of the building.<ref name="ep72">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|72|ref}}</ref> Luke came to Yuga another day acting unusually nice to him, and Mimi joined him to give him a present of cash, much to Yuga's utter confusion. Luke eventually asked Yuga what he loved most, and Yuga admitted it was Rush Dueling, so Luke challenged Yuga to a Rush Duel that afternoon. Yuga Maximum Summoned "Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord" on his first turn, but was surprised by Luke chanting with him, confiding in Mimi, and humbly asking to take his turn, during which he only Summoned "[[Dragorite (anime)|Dragorite]]" and [[Set]] three cards. As Yuga used all the effects of "Magnum Overlord" on his next turn he wondered if Luke was trying to lose on purpose and asked him, but Luke claimed he would never try to lose on purpose or try to become Yuga's number two so he could become president after Yuga. Yuga used the third effect of "Magnum Overlord" to send it to the Graveyard and [[Special Summon]] "[[Raidacross, Hero of the Dawn (anime)|Raidacross, Hero of the Dawn]]" and "[[Steel Mech Lord Mirror Innovator (anime)|Steel Mech Lord Mirror Innovator]]", Fusion Summoning "[[Raidacross Ash, Hero of Chaos (anime)|Raidacross Ash, Hero of Chaos]]" and returning the three "Magnum Overlord" pieces to his Deck to power up "Mirror Innovator". He destroyed two of Luke's Set cards, leaving him with "[[7 Chance (anime)|7 Chance]]" and attacked, but to his shock and joy, Luke used "7 Chance" to gain enough LP to survive. Luke Fusion Summoned "[[Hyperstrike Dragon Dragiastar F (anime)|Hyperstrike Dragon Dragiastar F]]" and powered it up, though Yuga was confident his [[Trap Card]]s would protect him. Unfortunately Luke used "[[Dragonic Force (anime)|Dragonic Force]]" to prevent Yuga from activating his Traps and destroyed both of his monsters, defeating Yuga again. Yuga threw a tantrum after the Duel, frustrated by losing to Luke again, but made up with him over the last kake udon in the canteen that evening.<ref name="ep73"/>

A recreation time event was planned at Goha Enterprises, with the theme "Become a zombie". Yuga took a course on zombie acting with [[D.K.]] and the [[Zombie Duel Club]] to be the "zombie king" of the event. Yuga and the "zombie horde" later emerged on the helipad to find Gavin there as one of the last "survivors", and according to Yuga's orders as the "Zombie King", D.K. challenged Gavin to a Rush Duel, Gavin vowing to Duel all the zombies if he had to. Despite his role, Yuga was overjoyed to see Gavin use "Fusion" to Fusion Summon "[[Yamiterasu the Divine Ruler (anime)|Yamiterasu the Divine Ruler]]". Gavin defeated D.K., and Yuga and the other "zombies" applauded his victory, Yuga admitting he'd been sure Gavin would be the last one standing. Once the event ended at 3pm, Yuga removed his makeup and he learned that Gavin hadn't known about the event, explaining it to him.<ref name="ep74">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|74|ref}}</ref>

Yuo called Yuga to an emergency meeting, but Swirls was acting strangely after the event, so Yuga left his phone at the office and he, Luke and Kaizo took him with them to [[Big Seven Arena]] to ask [[Toombs]] if he knew anything about why he was acting up. Toombs told them about a "forbidden Duel" that could manipulate people, though he didn't know how to stop it and Yuga thanked him for his help. Thinking about the matter made Luke hungry and he asked for food, so Yuga ordered a meal for him from [[Ramen Hut]], which Nail delivered to them. When Yuga explained their problem to Nail, he told them a "forbidden card" that could manipulate people had been rumored at Goha Enterprises and Yuga deduced Nana had used the card on Swirls. He decided to ask Nana about it and after Kaizo found a poster of the [[Nanahoshi Insect Ninja Village]], the four of them headed there. To their surprise they found [[Tiadosia Kallister|Tiger]] opposing them, so Yuga challenged her to a Rush Duel, angered she was preventing him from helping Swirls. He Maximum Summoned "Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord" on his first turn, but Tiger Fusion Summoned "[[Full Orchestra the Music Fiend (anime)|Full Orchestra the Music Fiend]]" and destroyed "Magnum Overlord", depleting most of Yuga's LP. Intent on helping Swirls, Yuga Fusion Summoned "[[Sevens Paladin (anime)|Sevens Paladin]]" and reduced the ATK of "Full Orchestra", but when he attacked Tiger reduced the ATK of "Sevens Paladin" to zero, defeating him with her counterattack. Yuga was quick to suggest they leave to look for Nana, prompting Tiger to suggest they needed more punishment, though Yuga angrily told her he wouldn't listen to someone telling him to abandon a friend. Kaizo then transformed into his "God Kaizo" form to hold Tiger off while Yuga and Luke searched, and Yuga thanked Kaizo as they fled. However, they were unsuccessful in finding Nana, so they went back home, Yuga talking Luke by [[Yuga's house|his house]] for the first time and greeting [[Yuga's mother|his mother]]. Luke suddenly blurted out that Yuga was supposed to live in a Goha mansion, much to Yuga's confusion, and Luke explained that he and his friends thought Yuga was the sixth Goha Six, a claim that took Yuga aback and which he denied. Yuga's mother told him he'd been getting calls from the Goha President all day, and Yuga realized in shock he'd forgotten Yuo had called him to an emergency meeting.<ref name="ep76">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|76|ref}}</ref>

Yuga and Luke returned to the Goha Enterprises Main Office with Swirls, meeting Romin and Gavin in the foyer. They explained that Nana had disguised herself as Romin to manipulate Gavin, [[Roa Kirishima|Roa]] and Mimi into investigating Yuga and Gavin apologized for sneaking behind his back, though Yuga reassured them it was all right and offered to invite them to his house sometime. Once they reached Yuo's office, they found only him and the [[President Drone]], and Yuga expressed surprise that the rest of the Goha Six weren't present.<ref name="ep76" /> Yuo proposed Goha Duels and Rush Duels be fused, and Yuga, knowing that his Duel Create-a-nator had been launched, agreed to Yuo's proposal, despite his friends' protests. After he'd explained what he'd done, Yuo tried to fire him, but his siblings vetoed the decision. Yuga told them he didn't mind being fired as he'd accomplished his goal, but asked them to tell him about the "forbidden card". The Goha Six didn't know what he meant, though they had detected activity underground and Luke suddenly remembered he'd found a [[Duel Card Manufacturer]] under the building; Yuga realized Nana had likely used it to print the forbidden card. As they took an elevator to the Duel Card Manufacturer, the Goha Six revealed they'd also thought Yuga was one of them, much to Yuga's embarrassment. Despite Luke's account the Duel Card Manufacturer had been buried in rubble, it had since been restored, and [[Yuran Goha|Yuran]] had [[Mrs. Drone]] print the forbidden card, "[[Monster Reborn (anime Rush Duel)|Monster Reborn]]". The sight of the card sent Swirls into a rage, and he took up a black Duel Disk that had been concealed inside the President Drone. Yuga tried to Duel Swirls with "Monster Reborn" to break the spell, but Yuo Dueled instead. He used "Monster Reborn" to revive one of Swirls' monsters, but Swirls didn't change, so Yuo then Fusion Summoned "[[Metarion King Cobrastar (anime)|Metarion King Cobrastar]]" to counter Swirls' [[Reptile]] [[Type]] monsters and chanted a spell that visibly affected Swirls as he attacked. To Yuga's shock however, Swirls survived the attack and a monstrous figure resembling Yuga emerged from his costume, introducing himself as Yuga ''Goha'', who the rest of the Goha Six explained had been sealed away by them after he tried to create "Monster Reborn". Vowing revenge for being sealed away, Yuga Goha defeated Yuo with "Monster Reborn" and "[[Predator Gunleon (anime)|Predator Gunleon]]" while reciting the sealing spell. Yuga could only ask himself what he'd done as Yuga Goha left with the President Drone, bidding Luke farewell when he tried to get Swirls to return to the Luke Division with him.<ref name="ep77" />

Yuga quickly became aware of Yuga Goha antagonizing and causing conflict between different Duel formats and spent the night creating a Road that could erase them all, storing it on a data stick. He feigned sleep in his office the next day as his friends discussed what to do with Yuga Goha, and once they had left in search of Yuga Goha, Yuga took an elevator to the helipad, knowing Yuga Goha would be targeting him. He was proven right as Yuga Goha arrived, having deduced the Road Yuga had made, and they agreed to Rush Duel with the data stick on the line; Yuga would give up the data stick if he lost, while Yuga Goha would stop his actions if he lost. Although Yuga gained an early lead with "[[Sevens Road Magician (anime)|Sevens Road Magician]]" and "[[Sevens Road Witch (anime)|Sevens Road Witch]]", fatigue from creating the data stick began to set in. Yuga Goha reduced his own LP to 100 to empower "Predator Gunleon", though Yuga destroyed it with "[[Mirror Force (anime Rush Duel)|Mirror Force]]", only for Yuga Goha to destroy Yuga's monsters and revive "Predator Gunleon" with "[[Burial Wrath]]", attacking Yuga directly and badly injuring him. Yuga's friends then arrived, Luke leaping from Yuga's air conditioning Road and hurting himself when he landed, and Yuga tried to reassure them he was all right, but collapsed from exhaustion, and Luke took over the Rush Duel for him.<ref name="ep78">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|78|ref}}</ref> Yuga remained unconscious for the remainder of the Rush Duel, held in a hammock by Kaizo. After the Duel ended, Yuga awoke in hospital with only Luke present. Luke confirmed he'd won the Duel, but explained Yuga Goha needed more time to come around, and when Yuga asked where their friends were, Luke claimed they'd already gone home and suggested they get udon on the way home; Yuga noting Luke was hiding something.<ref name="ep79">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|79|ref}}</ref>

====King of Duels====
Yuga learned that [[Romin Kassidy|Romin]], [[Gavin Sogetsu|Gavin]], [[Roa Kassidy|Roa]], [[Nail Saionji|Nail]] and [[Asana Mutsuba|Asana]] had all lost their memories of him and [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Dueling]] due to [[Yuga Goha]] using "[[Monster Reborn (anime Rush Duel)|Monster Reborn]]" during their Rush Duel after [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]] took over; Luke himself had remained unaffected. After seeing the amnesiac Asana enraged over the modifications Yuga had applied to [[R6]], Yuga greeted Romin and Gavin separately at school the next day and was dismayed by their lack of recollection of him. He and Luke convened to discuss everyone who had lost their memories; the two of them, [[Rayne Nanahoshi|Rayne]] and [[Rino Nanahoshi|Rino]] were the only ones among their friends who still remembered Rush Dueling and each other. Rayne and Rino believed they needed to use "Monster Reborn" to restore their friends' memories, though Yuga was reluctant to use "Monster Reborn". They went to the [[Goha Enterprises Main Office]], only to find the remaining [[Goha Six]] frantically answering questions about the new formats due to the antagonism spread by Yuga Goha; [[Yuro Goha|Yuro]] told Yuga the only way to get "Monster Reborn" would be to make another with the [[Duel Card Manufacturer]], as Yuga Goha had the existing three copies. Before they could use the machine, Yuga Goha contacted them and showed them he was in the [[Hologram Man's chamber]], where he challenged [[Otes]] to a Rush Duel. Yuga Goha successfully revived Otes' "[[Dark Magician (anime Rush Duel)|Dark Magician]]" with "Monster Reborn" so that its ritual was at its strongest, a quality he'd discovered while Dueling Luke, and he defeated Otes and erased his memories. Afterwards Luke tried to make "Monster Reborn", but Yuga protested its use and [[Nana Nanahoshi|Nana]] and her ninja destroyed the Duel Card Manufacturer before they could create another "Monster Reborn", while Yuga Goha had ladybugs consume his three copies, believing he didn't need them anymore.<ref name="ep81">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|81|ref}}</ref>

Following the destruction of the "Monster Reborns", Yuga called [[Galian Townsend|Galian]], [[Schubel Quill|Schubel]], [[Pidgetrap Quill|Pidgetrap]] and [[Seatbastian]] to the [[Road Laboratory]] to inform them of the event, though Yuga believed the destruction of "Monster Reborn" to be a benefit given its ability to manipulate memories. Per Luke's suggestion they decided to recreate the events that led to the creation of Rush Dueling, aiming to recreate Gavin's memories first. However when Yuga came to school pretending to have had five penalties, Gavin reacted in a more icy manner than he had previously. Nevertheless the group acted to lure Gavin to the [[Hologram Man's chamber]], though Gavin was nonplussed by the sight of them and upon being informed Yuga was installing a new format, he left and returned with two uniformed aides, intending to punish Yuga. Rino decided to challenge Gavin to a Rush Duel instead of continuing with Luke's remake, and Seatbastian, Galian and Schubel left to do the same for Nail and Asana. Although Rino defended with "[[Flower Fan Clematis (anime)|Flower Fan Clematis]]", Gavin summoned "[[Kimeruler the Dark Raider (anime)|Kimeruler the Dark Raider]]" and "[[Yamiruler the Dark Delayer (anime)|Yamiruler the Dark Delayer]]" using harsher [[Summon chants in Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|summon chants]] than normal and pushed Rino into a corner.<ref name="ep82">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|82|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep83">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|83|ref}}</ref> To Yuga's bewilderment, Rino and Rayne donned hoodie and began speaking and Dueling in the "DJ G" manner that Gavin had during his Rush Duel with Nail. Rino and Rayne's antics began getting through to Gavin, and while Gavin was able to stop Rino from using the effect of "[[Gatling the Shadow Flower Shinobi (anime)|Gatling the Shadow Flower Shinobi]]", Rino drew "[[Fusion (anime Rush Duel)|Fusion]]" and [[Fusion Summon]]ed "[[Durga the Shadow Flower Submarine (anime)|Durga the Shadow Flower Submarine]]". Following the attack, Gavin recalled the rule of Rush Dueling to draw until he had five cards, shedding the uniform he'd donned in favor of his usual kimono and returning to his old summon chants when he Summoned "[[Semeruler the Dark Summoner (anime)|Semeruler the Dark Summoner]]", before Fusion Summoning "[[Semeterasu the Divine Ruler (anime)|Semeterasu the Divine Ruler]]" and defeating Rino. To Yuga's joy, not only had Gavin regained his full memories, but Nail and Asana had too.<ref name="ep83" />

Yuga next planned to restore Romin and Roa's memories, but when they went to visit [[Tyler Getz|Tyler]] and [[Toombs]] at [[Big Seven Arena]], Tyler explained that Romin had stopped coming to band practice, while Toombs told Yuga something else was wrong with Roa. They went to see Roa and Yuga challenged him to a Rush Duel, Roa eventually accepting after [[Mimi Imimi|Mimi]] and the rest of Roa's fangirls arrived. Yuga Summoned "[[Sevens Road Witch (anime)|Sevens Road Witch]]" and "[[Sevens Road Magician (anime)|Sevens Road Magician]]", while Roa reduced them both to 3400 LP and Summoned "[[Royal Rebel's Heavy Metal (anime)|Royal Rebel's Heavy Metal]]" after weakening "Sevens Road Magician" with "[[Royal Rebel's Growl (anime)|Royal Rebel's Growl]]", a situation Yuga had been in during their previous Rush Duel. Roa destroyed "Sevens Road Witch", though Yuga likewise survived with "[[Magical Switch]]". As he noted something was off about Roa, Rayne and Rino arrived with a cardboard cutout of Romin, confirming she was making a solo debut and that Roa had known about it, but hadn't told Tyler and Toombs. Toombs began to wonder if Romin had forgotten [[RoaRomin]], but when Gavin pointed out Romin shouldn't have forgotten anything she knew of prior to Rush Dueling, Yuga confirmed this to be true, stating it was why Luke's memory had been unaffected due to the understanding they'd formed prior to the format's installation, and that Roa was the same, claiming Roa was pretending to have lost his memory.<ref name="ep84">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|84|ref}}</ref> Roa continued to deny knowing Yuga, something Yuga speculated was to allow Romin to follow her dream without returning to help them, and he [[Maximum Summon]]ed "[[Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord (anime)|Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord]]", retrieving "Sevens Road Magician" and frustrating Roa into addressing Yuga in the familiar manner he usually did. Roa admitted he'd seen the event as a chance to start over after both Yuga and Romin had advanced further than him, but Mimi and his fangirls encouraged him to continue. Yuga evaded Roa destroying "Magnum Overlord" with "[[Royal Rebel's Hard Rock (anime)|Royal Rebel's Hard Rock]]", but Roa used a Trap to destroy "Magnum Overlord" on the next turn. Yuga instead Fusion Summoned "[[Master of the Sevens Road (anime)|Master of the Sevens Road]]" and almost defeated Roa, protecting "Master of the Sevens Road" from being destroyed by effects on the next turn when Roa Tribute Summoned "[[Royal Rebel's Doom Metal (anime)|Royal Rebel's Doom Metal]]". However, Roa re-Summoned "Heavy Metal" and lowered the [[Level]] of "Master of the Sevens Road" to allow the effect of "Heavy Metal" to gain its ATK, defeating Yuga. Despite the loss, Yuga congratulated Roa on his victory, Roa telling Yuga he would have to chase him now.<ref name="ep85">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|85|ref}}</ref>

Yuga, Gavin and Roa collectively agreed to Roa's plan of withholding the situation from Romin to allow her to follow her dream without stopping to help them, though Luke found the idea distasteful and stormed out of the Road Laboratory. They went to Romin's debut event later, but to Yuga's dismay an argument between Dueling fans disrupted it, prompting Luke to storm in and berate the arguing Duelists, having restored the memories of Yuga Goha's other victims. The sight restored Romin's memories too, and she apologized to her friends for forgetting them, to Yuga's joy, but [[Princess G]] challenged Romin to a Rush Duel to decide whether she would commit to music or Dueling.<ref name="ep86">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|86|ref}}</ref> Yuga watched the Duel in concern for Romin, though he was pleased to see her Fusion Summon "[[CAN:D LIVE (anime)|D LIVE]]". However Princess G countered Romin's move and fused her own "[[Prima Guitarna the Shining Superstar (anime)|Prima Guitarna the Shining Superstar]]" with "[[Ama Lilith (anime)|Ama Lilith]]" into "[[Omega Guitarna the Shining Megastar (anime)|Omega Guitarna the Shining Megastar]]", pushing Romin into a corner. To Yuga's excitement Romin also fused "Prima Guitarna" and "Ama Lilith", but into "[[Princess Omega the Shining Megastar (anime)|Princess Omega the Shining Megastar]]", reviving "Prima Guitarna" and "[[Esperade the Smashing Superstar (anime)|Esperade the Smashing Superstar]]" to defeat Princess G. Yuga cheered that Romin was amazing after her victory, and Romin decided to continue Dueling and singing, though she put her debut on hold to help Yuga and apologized again for forgetting them.<ref name="ep87">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|87|ref}}</ref>

Shortly afterwards, [[Yuo Goha|Yuo]], who had also regained his memory, arrived in [[Star Six]] and explained they had been able to complete the story of ''[[SEVENS (book)|SEVENS]]'': the old man who had sent the sorcerer on his quest to find the Sevens had tricked the sorcerer into destroying the elements and the moon to save the world from chaos. The group realized the story fitted their situation if Otes were the old man and Yuga the sorcerer, with the moon being destroyed by the [[Goha Enterprises Drone]]s, though Nail confirmed they had a chance to stop the Drones. Before he could explain, Otes sent them a livestream of him and Yuga Goha, who he had taken prisoner, and revealed he had created "Monster Reborn" and that he desired for Dueling to be erased, though he refused to explain why. Afterwards, Nail explained that Luke's Pauli effect would be able to shut down the Drones, though Luke was only able to affect [[Kaizo]]. Nail then sent them to Goha #7 Elementary, where energy had resonated with Luke's smaller Pauli effect, and Asana and the [[Heavy Cavalry Duel Club]] assisted them in excavating a stairway that led them to a [[Kallister Gears]] vault, where they met with [[Tiadosia Kallister|Tiger]] and [[Valencian Kallister|Vance]]. Tiger opened the vault for them, but they only found thousands of watches like Luke's there, Vance confirming he'd forgotten to dispose of the one he'd given to Luke. The discovery disheartened them, especially Luke, though Tiger mocked them for refusing to accept reality, that they couldn't stop Dueling from disappearing. Tiger's comments and her previous defeat of Yuga angered Luke into challenging her to a Rush Duel, and Yuga decided to watch the Duel between the siblings quietly.<ref name="ep88">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|88|ref}}</ref> Yuga urged Luke not to rush the Duel lest he lose as Yuga himself had, and Luke eventually defeated his sister, causing energy to emanate from their bodies and create a massive Pauli effect. Vance explained that the Gohanium gears in the watches reacted to the Kallister bloodline, which was why the watches had been sealed away, and after Nail confirmed the lunar Drones had been stopped, Tiger, who Luke accused of stringing them along for their benefit, congratulated Luke on his strength.<ref name="ep89">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|89|ref}}</ref>

At Asana's suggestion, Yuga and his friends decided to use a spacecraft [[Mutsuba Heavy Machinery]] had constructed to reach the moon, the [[Mutsuba Proto-Spaceship RUSH]], which they could fuel by mixing Romin's [[Dragias Curry|Dragias]] and [[Prima Guitarna Curry|Prima Guitarna Curries]]. Yuga was aware Otes would likely be waiting for him at the moon and that the Super Rush Robot could be operated by the [[Forcersizers]] still affixed to it, so he asked the Goha Six to lend them their crowns so that six people could operate the robot while Yuga Dueled Otes. Luke, Romin, Gavin, Roa, Nail and Asana elected to accompany Yuga, and they gave their [[Signature card|ace monsters]] to Yuga with which he used to make a new Deck to Rush Duel Otes with.<ref name="ep90">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|90|ref}}</ref>

The following morning Yuga bid farewell to [[Yuga's mother|his mother]], who reminded him he'd almost forgotten the deactivated Kaizo, before they met with the Goha Six, who gave their crowns to Yuga, having retrieved Yuga Goha's the previous night. Yuga, Luke, Romin, Gavin, Roa, Nail and Asana then proceeded to launch into space, the launch causing Yuga's motion sickness to kick in. Once they arrived at the moon, Otes began throwing meteors at them from a massive robot of his own, the [[Otes Robot]], though the group were able to get to the Super Rush Robot and take control of it. Vowing not to allow Otes to destroy Dueling, Yuga challenged him to a Rush Duel. Otes Summoned a "Sevens Road Magician" of his own and challenged Yuga to battle it with his own, but Yuga instead Maximum Summoned Nail's "[[Yggdrago the Sky Emperor (anime)|Yggdrago the Sky Emperor]]" and used its effect to destroy "Sevens Road Magician". Otes was able to blunt the attack by reviving "Sevens Road Magician" and destroyed "Yggdrago" on his next turn. This allowed Yuga to revive "Yamiruler" and "[[Constructor Wyrm Buildragon (anime)|Buildragon]]" to defend himself, though Otes Summoned "Sevens Road Witch" and destroyed both monsters.<ref name="ep90" /> Yuga attempted to counterattack with "Royal Rebel's Heavy Metal", but Otes flipped it face-down to prevent him using its effect, forcing Yuga to inflict damage with it and "Prima Guitarna". Before he could attack, Otes' allies, [[Celestia Noodlina|Celestia]], [[Terra Kneadalina|Terra]], [[Prioria Sweetalina|Prioria]], [[Oceania Illumilina|Oceania]], [[Ghostia Taxilina]] and [[Konvoy Sagawa]] began uninstalling their rules from the Goha Duel Server and thus ejecting the physical constructs representing them at the Super Rush Robot; Yuga's friends did the same on Earth to block the constructs until only the largest, Konvoy Sagawa's, was left, which the Goha Six, Yuga Goha having rejoined them, destroyed with Star Six.<ref name="ep91">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|91|ref}}</ref>

After attacking, Yuga asked Otes why he wanted to destroy Dueling, and Otes revealed he was the creator of Dueling and had fallen into despair over what Goha Enterprises had done to it, desiring to both see Dueling destroyed and returned to the hands of children to whom it truly belonged. He destroyed "Heavy Metal" and "Prima Guitarna" with "[[Darkness Zerorogue (anime)|Darkness Zerorogue]]" before fusing it with "Sevens Road Magician" into "[[Magician of Dark Sevens (anime)|Magician of Dark Sevens]]", which gained ATK for each [[DARK]] [[Spellcaster]] [[Type]] monster in his [[Graveyard]]. Yuga was able to block its attack with "[[Multistrike Dragon Dragias (anime)|Multistrike Dragon Dragias]]" and reduce the ATK of "[[Darkness Sanga]]" to survive its multiple attacks. On his next turn Yuga Maximum Summoned "Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord" and used its three effects to damage Otes, send cards to his Graveyard, and retrieve "Dragias" before [[Special Summon]]ing it and his own "Sevens Road Magician". He combined their effects and "[[High Magic - Double Acceleration (anime)|High Magic - Double Acceleration]]" to make "Sevens Road Magician" stronger than "Magician of Dark Sevens", but Otes revived "Darkness Zerorogue" with "[[Darkness Disorder]]" to reduce the ATK of Yuga's monsters. Instead, Yuga fused "Sevens Road Magician" and "Dragias" into "[[Sevensgias the Magical Dragon Knight (anime)|Sevensgias the Magical Dragon Knight]]", whose effect boosted its ATK far beyond that of "Magician of Dark Sevens". However, Otes used "[[Darkness Fault]]" to force Yuga to take the battle damage of the attack.<ref name="ep91" />

Before the attack could connect, the Otes Robot abruptly left, pausing the Rush Duel. Relieved at the reprieve, Yuga reactivated Kaizo and had him take the Goha Six's crowns from his friends before having the Super Rush Robot place them on Star Six. He explained the Super Rush Robot was reaching its limit so he'd be going along and departed, asking Yuro to take care of his friends. As Kaizo fashioned the Goha Six's crowns into a single large one, Luke suddenly returned, having called upon [[The Lukeman]] to return and refused to let Yuga go alone, challenging him to a Rush Duel to determine whether Luke could accompany him.<ref name="ep91" /> Since he couldn't use the Deck he'd built with his friends, Yuga used his spare Deck, but included his [[Duel ID cards|Duel ID card]] to rewrite it into "Sevens Road Magician" if he needed it. Yuga gained an early lead with "[[Thunderbold, the Blazing Thunder (anime)|Thunderbold, the Blazing Thunder]]" and "[[Steel Mech Lord Mirror Innovator (anime)|Steel Mech Lord Mirror Innovator]]", but to his shock Luke Summoned an alternate "Dragias" that differed from the one in their combined Deck and destroyed all of Yuga's monsters, depleting most of his [[LP]]. On Yuga's next turn, Luke outlined his possible moves and the likelihood he could make them, believing he had the Duel won, but Yuga was able to draw his ID card and gave it to Luke as it was being rewritten, then ejected him from the Super Rush Robot, asking The Lukeman to protect him. Despite the situation, Yuga declared the rest of his moves and was overjoyed at finally defeating Luke in his last Rush Duel. After apologizing for forcing Kaizo to come with him, Yuga caught up with the Otes Robot, resuming their Rush Duel mid-attack. However, Yuga regained enough LP to survive the reflected damage with "[[Perfect Sevens]]", also allowing "Sevensgias" to attack again, but Otes pointed out they would soon reenter the range and jurisdiction of the Goha Duel Server, which would disqualify Yuga without his Duel ID card. To buy himself the time he needed, Yuga used the Super Rush Robot to push it and the Otes Robot into hyperspace, a process that would destroy them both. When Otes asked in shock if Yuga knew what this would do, Yuga confirmed he did and that Otes did as well, claiming that "of course he understood his feelings". The image of Yuga wearing the combined crown and sacrificing himself to save Dueling prompted his friends to proclaim Yuga the [[King of Games|King of Duels]]. Yuga's last attack defeated Otes, and Yuga and Kaizo disappeared into hyperspace in the Mutsuba Proto-Spaceship RUSH.<ref name="ep92">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|92|ref}}</ref>

Yuga later returned to Earth in the Mutsuba Proto-Spaceship RUSH two years after he was initially lost in space, smiling as he re-entered the atmosphere above [[Goha Harbor]], and his presence caused his Duel ID card to revert from its form as "Sevens Road Magician", as well as Rush Duels, which had vanished following the destruction of the Super Rush Robot, to return.<ref name="ep92" />

===Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!===
====History====
After entering hyperspace, Yuga is revealed to have traveled many years into the past. He and [[Kaizo]] crashed into [[Zuwijo's spaceship|an alien spaceship]], resulting in both ships crash-landing on [[Earth (planet)|Earth]]. [[Zuwijo zir Velgear]], the occupant of the ship, rescued them, and when Yuga thanked him, Zuwijo asked Yuga what [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Dueling]] was. Yuga was surprised to learn that Zuwijo knew about Rush Dueling, but was imprisoned by Zuwijo and forced to recreate Rush Dueling after Yuga learned they had travelled to the past before either Rush Duels or [[Solid Vision]] had been invented. Yuga and Kaizo eventually escaped Zuwijo's clutches and sought out [[Yuna Goha]] and [[Asaka Mutsuba]], the current presidents of the [[Goha Company]] and [[Mutsuba Heavy Machinery]] in [[Mutsuba Town]], allowing them to mass-produce Rush Duel cards and [[Duel Disk]]s.<ref name="gr39">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|39|ref}}</ref>

Yuga later appeared in the guise of The Yugaman to a despondent [[Yudias Velgear]] shortly after the [[Velgearian]] arrived on Earth, gifting him with packs of Rush Duel cards, including the recently created [[Galaxy (Type)|Galaxy]] [[Type]] monsters, and his original Duel Disk.<ref name="gr20">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|20|ref}}</ref>

====Alien Residential Area====
[[Yuna Goha|Yuna]] becoming devoted to [[Rovian Kirishima]] resulted in her moving to [[Badloon Castle]] in the [[Alien Residential Area]]. Yuga remained working at the [[Goha Company Office]], and [[Yuhi Ohdo|Yuhi]] and [[Yuamu Ohdo]] came to visit one day, only to leave after the automated messenger told them the office was closed, not knowing Yuga was at the desk.<ref name="gr21">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|21|ref}}</ref>

====The Great King of Terror====
When the [[The☆Lugh|The Great King of Terror]] arrived on Earth and defeated [[Rovian Kirishima|Rovian]] in a [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]] before freezing her, [[Yuna Goha|Yuna]] went to Yuga as he was repairing [[Kaizo]] and demanded he create a card capable of defeating the King, The☆Lugh. Yuga chose to recreate "[[Fusion (anime Rush Duel)|Fusion]]", and went to the [[Mutsuba Heavy Machinery Card Creation Plant]] where [[Asaka Mutsuba|Asaka]] created the card, sweatdropping at her boasting that the technology of [[Mutsuba Heavy Machinery]] was the greatest in the universe. [[Nyandestar]] arrived as the process was being finished to take the card to Yuna.<ref name="gr33">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|33|ref}}</ref> However, Nyandestar instead stole the card and switched sides to join The☆Lugh, aiming to betray him.<ref name="gr34">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|34|ref}}</ref> Aware that [[Zuwijo zir Velgear|Zuwijo]] had been in communication with The☆Lugh and had likely explored methods to become immune to his freezing ability, Yuga visited [[Boiled Bagel Requiem]], Zuwijo's bakery, purchasing two curry breads from [[Mitsuko Hiramori]] as Zuwijo was out at the time.<ref name="gr35">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|35|ref}}</ref>

[[File:ThatGuyGORUSH.png|thumb|250px|left|Yuga arrives to assist Yudias against The☆Lugh.]]
After Yuna successfully created another "Fusion", Yuga gave the bread to Yuna and Asaka, telling them to eat it before going to [[The☆Lugh's spaceship]] to protect them from the freezing effects of looking at The☆Lugh's ''[[Mr. Universe]]'' manuscript. Yuga himself reappeared to aid [[Mutsuba Town]]'s Duelists in the final Duel of the [[Friendship Rush Duel Tournament]], having Kaizo catch an exhausted Yuna and retrieve her cards and [[Duel Disk]], before making a grand entrance and knocking Kaizo into an icicle. Admitting to [[Yudias Velgear|Yudias]] that it had been a while, he took Yuna's place alongside Yudias in the [[Tag Duel]] against The☆Lugh and his identical copy, who both resembled [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]]. Yuga fixed Yuna's [[hand]] with "[[Amazing Dealer (anime)|Amazing Dealer]]", before Summoning "[[Swordsman of Roadstar (anime)|Swordsman of Roadstar]]" and then "[[Sevens Road Magician (anime)|Sevens Road Magician]]" for the first time in a while. Telling Yuna he would use the "Fusion" she had worked so hard to create, Yuga fused "Sevens Road Magician" and "Swordsman of Roadstar" into "[[Sevens Paladin (anime)|Sevens Paladin]]", but The☆Lugh returned it to Yuga's [[Extra Deck]] with "[[The Cancel]]", allowing Yuga to revive two monsters, "Sevens Road Magician" and "[[Spell Arsenal]]". Despite the situation, Yuga found himself laughing, enjoying the strength of The☆Lugh.<ref name="gr38">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|38|ref}}</ref> He used the effect of "Spell Arsenal" to return cards from Yudias' [[Graveyard]] to his Deck, including Yudias' "[[Galactica Mining]]" [[Spell Card]], intending to allow Yudias to use it to retrieve "Fusion" on his next turn, while drawing the "[[Road Arms - Sword Breaker (anime)|Road Arms - Sword Breaker]]" [[Equip Spell Card]] and equipping it to "Sevens Road Magician", aiming to destroy The☆Lugh's weaker "[[The Dragias (anime)|The Dragias]]". However The☆Lugh [[Dragon Double-Doom (anime)|redirected]] Yuga's attack to the strongest "The Dragias", remaining in the Duel and once again making Yuga laugh at his strength. To Yuga's shock, The☆Lugh destroyed "Sword Breaker", though he was impressed by The☆Lugh reviving his other "The Dragias" again. The☆Lugh was confused by Yuga smiling, as he was unable to enjoy himself while feeling depressed. The☆Lugh Fusion Summoned two "[[The Dragiastar (anime)|The Dragiastar]]" and Yuga defended with "[[Valkyrian Guard (anime)|Valkyrian Guard]]", but The☆Lugh countered Yuga's strategy with "[[The Battle Bump]]", which would switch Yuga's monsters out of the [[Defense Position]] that "Valkyrian Guard" protected them in. However at Yuga's call, Yudias changed "Sevens Road Magician" back into Defense Position with "[[Shining Guard]]", allowing them to survive the turn.<ref name="gr39" />

When The☆Lugh asked if Yuga's heart didn't feel sadness in such a situation, Yuga quietly confirmed that it did, recalling the events that had occurred since crashing into Zuwijo's ship and briefly explaining that he had come from the future to Yudias, [[Yuhi Ohdo|Yuhi]] and [[Yuamu Ohdo|Yuamu]]. He admitted he hadn't wanted to recreate Rush Dueling at a time it shouldn't exist, but it needed to for the sake of everyone's smiles. His words inspired Yudias to use "Galactica Mining" to retrieve "Fusion", and Yudias declared to The☆Lugh his belief that he and Yuga had suffered setbacks that harmed them, but had persevered to make other people smile. Yudias fused "Sevens Road Magician" with "[[Transamu Rainac (anime)|Transamu Rainac]]" into "[[Transamuroad Rainac (anime)|Transamuroad Rainac]]", only for The☆Lugh to use another "The Cancel" to return it to the Extra Deck. Undaunted, Yuga and Yudias vowed to win, and Yudias successfully used his "[[Galactica Singularity]]" to retrieve "Fusion" and "Sevens Road Magician", summoning "Sevens Road" and re-fusing it with "Transamu Rainac", Yuga joining him in re-[[Fusion Summon]]ing "Transamuroad Rainac". Yudias defeated The☆Lugh, his likening of his ability to make others smile to The☆Lugh's inadvertent manner of doing so managing to cheer up The☆Lugh. The☆Lugh made the decision to reverse the effects of ''[[Mr. Universe]]'' across the galaxy, and Yuga and Kaizo both accompanied him on his ship, which detached from [[Val-Valvelgear]] and departed.<ref name="gr39" />

==Relationships==
===Lucidien "Luke" Kallister===
Yuga and [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]] strike up a fast friendship, though they initially butt heads over whether to keep [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Dueling]] a secret; Yuga wanted to spread it to everyone, while Luke wanted to keep it secret. Yuga resorted to livestreaming his and Luke's Rush Duel over the matter, so he was able spread word of it even though Luke defeated him. Yuga quickly adjusts to Luke, becoming familiar with his Dueling skills and eccentricities. Yuga initially has no interest in becoming the King of Duels, but once he does gain interest in the title he impresses on Luke that while he wouldn't give him the title, he encourages him to attain it himself. Throughout the series, Yuga and Luke have shown to be best friends, by constantly supporting each other and getting along really, rarely ever fighting. They have dueled on multiple occasions with Luke winning all but their final duel. Luke was devastated by Yuga's sacrifice in the final duel against Otes and after suffering his first loss at Yuga's hands, Luke fell into a deep depression during the two years, Yuga was missing. He later regained his will to duel after learning Yuga had returned to Earth and was eager to see his friend again. Although, Luke seeks to be the King of Duels, he later realizes and acknowlegdes Yuga as the true King due to his sacrifice in protecting the world of dueling for everyone. 

===Otes=== 

===Gavin Sogetsu===
Initially Yuga only saw [[Gavin Sogetsu|Gavin]] as a source of authority to avoid or rebel against, while Gavin saw Yuga as a rule-breaker requiring discipline. After Gavin experienced Yuga's Rush Dueling however, he gradually became open to the concept, though he did at one point try to ban the format. Yuga encourages Gavin to enjoy Rush Dueling, and often confers with him on more serious topics. Over time the two of them became better friends, offering each other support when needed. Though the two tend to occasionally bicker due to Yuga's rebellious nature contrasting Gavin's by-the-book personality, the two remain close friends throughout the series often acting as mediators whenever Luke and Romin bicker with each other. 

===Romin Kassidy===
Although [[Romin Kassidy|Romin]] is the only one of his main group of friends that is in his class, Yuga pays her little mind compared his other friends until Luke raises the possibility of her spying on them. Although this assumption was apparently disproven, Yuga still suspected that Romin was spying on him and eventually became aware enough to confirm it. He does not hold this against her due to her cousin [[Roa Kassidy|Roa]]'s role in blackmailing Romin, and asks Roa not to continue to do so. However, he also cheerfully dropped the material Roa had been holding over Romin without warning, much to her embarrassment. Yuga took notice when Romin seemed to like the guitar he had used for a noise-cancelling Road and modified it into a [[Duel Guitar]] for her despite knowing she was spying on him, including a candy bar receptacle in the Duel Guitar for Romin when she got hungry. Romin in turn had grown fond of Yuga and tried to dissuade him from Dueling Roa, knowing what he had set up. After Yuga defeated Roa and deduced Romin's secret of being tone-deaf (much to her embarrassment), the two of them have remained friends, with Romin appreciating Yuga for treating her normally despite knowing of her deception. The two of have had slight issues on occasion as seen when Romin held Yuga responsible for Princess G getting fired due to her support of Rush Duels. However she beared no ill will against him following their second duel and remained good friends with him.

===Kaizo===
Yuga was the one who modified [[Kaizo]] from the [[Goha Enterprises Drone]] that it initially was, but the two express dissatisfaction for one another early on. Kaizo is very smitten with [[Romin Kassidy]] and supports her over Yuga multiple times, prompting Yuga to try and reset Kaizo, to no avail. Yuga for his part considers Kaizo a failure because of this trait, and has little hesitation about modifying Kaizo for the task at hand, often to its detest. When Kaizo's original data is stolen by [[Nail Saionji]], the remnants try to warn Yuga of being stranded by the fake Kaizo. After encountering Nail, Kaizo worries that Yuga shows little urgency in retrieving his original data, and was angered by the embarrassing locations that Yuga placed him in the blueprints of the [[Super Rush Robot]]. However, when Yuga learned that [[Seatbastian]] stole Kaizo's original data he reacts with anger and defends Kaizo after Seatbastian insults him, and he is initially unwilling to use the remnants of Kaizo to complete the programming of his Maximum until Kaizo reminds him that defeating Nail will restore his original data. The two are often at odds with each other, but can be friendly and work together well at times.

===Roa Kassidy===
[[Roa Kassidy|Roa]] serves as Yuga's main rival, as he was present at the event where Yuga was given "[[Sevens Road Magician (anime)|Sevens Road Magician]]" and passed over as the candidate to become the next King of Duels. Yuga by comparison only learned of Roa's existence through Romin's espionage. Although Yuga does not like Roa's more manipulative actions, citing a dislike of his blackmail of Romin in particular, he does not seem to hold this against him too much, as he freely tells Roa that he could still become the King of Duels. Yuga later seeks advice from Roa following his defeat by Nail and Roa offered him criticism and encouraged him not to lose again. The two of them share a mutual respect for each other and their ideals. Over the course of the series Roa slowly becomes more of a friend than a rival to Roa, as seen when they teamed up for the Goha Rush Duel Battle Royale. Despite this, Roa still feels overshadowed by Yuga. This later changed after Roa defeated Yuga in their rematch, stating it was Yuga's turn to chase after him, which Yuga took in stride. They also shook hands for the first time acknowledging each other as both rivals and friends.

===Nail Saionji===
[[Nail Saionji|Nail]]'s mysterious demeanor and "providence" intrigues Yuga from the moment they meet, and Yuga is often quick to justify Nail's actions that his friends find underhanded as he senses that Nail acts out of a sense of duty rather than malice. As Yuga learns more about Nail's unusual view of the world and providence in particular, he becomes eager to Rush Duel him. However, Nail's explanations about what providence are put Yuga more and more ill at ease as their Rush Duel continues, and he is left shocked and terrified upon his defeat by Nail's [[Maximum Summon]]. However, Yuga was able to overcome this with help from his friends and was able to defeat Nail in a rematch. Following this the two of them are on friendlier terms. Despite Nail being forced to work under the Goha Siblings in Season 2, Yuga held no ill will towards him, unlike Luke and Romin. Nail also continues to hold Yuga in high regard, warning others not to underestimate his abilities. 

===Asana Mutsuba===
Yuga struck up a fast friendship with [[Asana Mutsuba|Asana]] after meeting her based on a shared love for machines and mutual respect, and he was initially unwilling to believe the [[Duel Dinosaur Club]]'s tales about the [[Heavy Cavalry Duel Club]]. Even after Asana's traditionalism was revealed Yuga was still eager to make her see that modification and Rush Dueling were acceptable and fun and after Asana defeated him and transferred him to [[Goha 6 Elementary|Goha #6 Elementary]] he sought ways to do so and make her smile. When he eventually learned of [[R0]] in the [[Maximum Mountain|Mutsuba family mine]], he arranged to access it so he could show Asana it had likely been modified as part of its creation, and they became good friends after he did so. Asana in turn came to understand Yuga much more than many of his friends as a result and helped repay him by giving him the blank [[Duel ID card]] that became "[[Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan (anime)|Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan]]". The two of them are quite close as they both hold a passion for machinery, though Asana's preference for older machinery serves as foil to Yuga who enjoys both old and newer machinery. Asana tends to voice concern for Yuga more so than others as seen by her concern when he fainted during his duel with Yuga Goha or her worry when he left his friends behind to confront Otes alone. 

===Yudias Velgear===
Yuga met [[Yudias Velgear|Yudias]], as the Velgearian was searching for Rush Duels in order to guide his comrades to a new future. Yuga then entrusted Yudias with his Duel Disk and several card packs. As a result of this encounter, Yudias developed a deep reverence for Yuga and Rush Duels as a whole. Yudias would continuously refer to Yuga as "That Guy" due to never learning his name, until Season 2. The two of them are shown to trust each other deeply as seen when they were able to work together seamlessly in the tag duel with The Lugh, and when Yudias entrusted the safety of Mutsuba Town to Yuga as he remained in Velgear to finish the war. In season 2, Yuga leaves his [[Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord (anime)|Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord]] Maximum monster behind before confronting [[Phaser Ryugu|Phaser]] and being carded by him. Yudias and [[Yuamu Ohdo|Yuamu]] find this card, realize that Yuga must have left it behind for them deliberately and Yudias adds it to his Deck. Yudias grows to trust and appreciate Yuga more when he learns that Yuga and the Ohdo twins realized they had to be carded so that their cards can be used to create  Maximum cards that can defeat Phaser, which Yudias eventually does. While trapped in [[Kuaidul Velgear|Kuaidul]]'s Spacetime, Yuga helps Yudias  break the seal on his consciousness and realize the truth behind the Spacetime by showing him hints of 4 different 9's, which symbolizes two colliding galaxies, similar to the Ohdo family crest. It is revealed that when Yuga created [[Transamu Rainac (anime)|Transamu Rainac]], one of Yudias's two main aces, which he received from the packs Yuga entrusted to him, he modeled it after the Milky Way Galaxy. Yudias himself was modeled after the same Galaxy when created by [[The Creator (GO RUSH!! character)|the Creator]]. This parallelism is deemed by Yuga as not a coincidence.

===Yuna Goha===
Yuga first met [[Yuna Goha|Yuna]] after escaping [[Zuwijo zir Velgear|Zuwijo]] and crash landing on Earth. It was with Yuna and [[Asaka Mutsuba|Asaka]]'s help that Yuga was able to implement the Rush Duel system for the citizens of Mutsaba Town, saving Goha Company from bankruptcy. During this time, Yuna developed deep feelings for Yuga, due to his happy personality. He also inspired her to create he own Spellcaster Deck, from which she used his Sevens Road Deck for reference. He even allowed her to borrow his deck for a while showing a great level of trust. Despite being rather bossy toward Yuga at times, Yuna cares deeply for him as shown by her worry after he went missing following [[The Lugh]]'s defeat as well as her worry and anger following his defeat by Phaser. Yuga in turn cares for Yuna as shown when he appeared to take her place in the duel with The Lugh after she collapsed and nervously apologized for worrying her upon reuniting during the second duel between Yudias and Zuwijo. This is also shown when Yuga made sure Yuna and Asaka had some Curry Bread made in the Voidvelgr Bakery, which would make them immune to being frozen by The Lugh.
In season 2, Yuna was devastated when she saw Yuga being carded by Phaser. This led her to escape the Alien Underground area to go to Goha Company and confront MIK which took over her company. As a consequence, Yuna was carded by the Relic when she lost to [[Manabu Sogetsu|Manabu]]'s new Maximum monster, and she passed the baton to Asaka, while gracefully accepting her fate. When Phaser was defeated, and Yuna and Yuga were saved, Yuga left unannounced. Yuna stated that she knows Yuga will come back eventually. Meanwhile, she decided to confront [[Rovian Kirishima|Rovian]], defeated her and leaves the [[Rovian Bandits]] because she wants to "find her own Road", inspired by Yuga. When trapped in Kuaidul's Spacetime, Yuna was living an illusion where she got married to Yuga, led a happy life and had several children with him. After being defeated by [[Yuhi Ohdo|Yuhi]], she realized and accepted the truth behind the Spacetime and broke free of the illusion, showing some silent sorrow. Though it is indicated Yuna still holds feelings for Yuga.

===Asaka Mutsuba===
Yuga first met Asaka after escaping Zuwijo and crash landing on Earth. It was with Yuna and Asaka's help that Yuga was able to implement the Rush Duel system for the citizens of Mutsuba Town. This deeply impressed Asaka who was fascinated by the futuristic technology used in this endeavor. Asaka also developed feelings for Yuga, however she put these feelings out of respect for her friend, Yuna, who also held deep feelings for Yuga. Yuga cares for the safety of Asaka as shown when he made sure Yuna and Asaka had some Curry Bread made in the Voidvelgr Bakery, which would make them immune to being frozen by The Lugh. Asaka's strong relationship with Yuga is also shown when she realized Yuamu must be an ancestor of Yuga while she was dueling her, as she noticed the resemblance in their gaze.

===Zuwijo zir Velgear===
Upon meeting Yuga and learning of Rush Duels, Zuwijo imprisoned him on his ship, forcing him to create Rush Duels for him. Yuga did as Zuwijo requested, though he later escaped. Yuga holds no grudge against Zuwijo for his actions against him or others, despite Zuwijo attempting to use Rush Duels as a tool for war, contrasting Yuga's desire for peace and fun. In season 2, while Zuwijo was trapped in Kuaidul's spacetime, Yuga, who managed to avoid being trapped in it, gave Zuwijo a hint in the form of the number 40 in the sky. Zuwijo figured out this meant Kuaidul was creating a 40 card deck composed of 40 characters who were allowed to understand the truth of the spacetime. It is implied that Zuwijo was able to figure out the truth about the Spacetime due to Yuga's external help. Zuwijo seems to show respect toward Yuga due to his intelligence.

===The☆Lugh===
Yuga first met the Lugh when taking over for Yuna in the tag duel with Yudias. Yuga understood the Lugh's negative feelings and encouraged him to be smile more in the face of adversity. After the Lugh's defeat, Yuga joined him in freeing the worlds he had unintentionally frozen. They also appear to have developed a friendship, likely due to the Lugh's uncanny resemblance to Yuga's best friend: Luke.

==Roads==
Yuga calls the inventions that he creates "Roads". The following are the known Roads he has created.
* [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Dueling]]. Yuga claims this is his greatest Road. In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'', Yuga recreates Rush Dueling in the past, adding [[Galaxy (Type)|Galaxy]] [[Type]] monsters and [[Equip Spell Card]]s to the format.
* [[Kaizo]] (modified from a [[Goha Enterprises Drone]]). Yuga claims that Kaizo is a failed Road due to his admiration of [[Romin Kassidy]]. He modifies Kaizo for several different functions depending on the task at hand.
** Detectofinder (unnamed in the Japanese version). Allows Kaizo to detect the "longing of a man" (monsters in the dub). 
* [[Duel-cycle]]. Yuga later modifies this Road to be compatible with Kaizo.
* [[Super Rush Robot]]. Also called the Rush Duel Robot, Yuga believes this to be the "key to open a door to a new world" that [[Otes]] mentioned to him after seeing it in his dreams. In truth he created it when he installed Rush Dueling, as the data of the Rush Duel Program in the [[Goha Duel Server]] on the moon took the shape of the robot. It was destroyed during his Duel with [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]], but Yuga and [[Nail Saionji]] later reconstructed it out of space debris.
* [[Truthinator]]. A lie detector suspended from a fishing rod, though it is not entirely successful and can be disabled by questions.
* A capsule capable of hairstyling, though it seems to be overly powerful.
* Rotating chairs intended to give the [[Ramen Hut]] a talking point, though Gavin, Romin and Kaizo declared them unsuccessful.
* Mannequins that can be linked to a single human to give the impression of more people than are actually present.
* An unknown Road to help the Ramen Hut that Gavin and Romin stopped Yuga from making.
* Several half-finished Roads in the Road Laboratory with unknown purposes.
* [[Duel Guitar]]. Previously called the "Noisinator" in the dub. Yuga initially designed this Road as a noise-canceling device that uses the guitar as the base, which functions by cancelling a loud noise with another. If the guitar is strummed however, it produces a significantly powerful sonic wave. Yuga later modifies this into its present form after seeing [[Romin Kassidy]] appreciate it and gives it to her.
* A treadmill with a moving landscape beside it, intended to provide satisfaction to a student that isn't good at running.
* A Road that plays a soothing melody to a student as they climb a hillside.
* Crude Roads in the shape of Kaizo and Seatbastian, intended to fool the [[Heavy Cavalry Duel Club]] into believing they were still at the [[Abandoned Dorm (SEVENS)|Abandoned Dorm]].
* [[Blowvinator]] (unnamed in the Japanese version). A large hovering vehicle with twin turbines attached that is powered by Kaizo. Yuga designed it as an air conditioner, but also used it in his [[Turbo Duel|Turbo Rush Duel]] with [[Yuro Goha]]. It is incredibly resilient, as it was able to penetrate the [[Gohanium]] hull of [[Star Six]].
* Munch Locator-nator (Last Night's Dinner Road in the Japanese version): A handheld Road that can track people based on the last food they ate, but if activated in close proximity to an individual it shocks them.
* "Prevent the Suspension of Duel Systems Worldwide" Road: A device created by modifying Kaizo with [[Nail Saionji]]'s "Providence Algorithm", which successfully stabilized the Duel systems of the globe.
* "Ladybug Obliteration" Road: A weapons frame that Yuga attaches Kaizo to. According to Yuga, it is capable of destroying the [[Goha Enterprises Main Office]] by overloading the power plant.
* A new type of vending machine that Yuga can connect Kaizo to.
* A "Prank Call Repellent" Road, which answers a phone by claiming the user will incur interstellar charges of up to seven million yen.
* Duel Create-a-nator (Original Duel Development in the Japanese version): An application that Yuga developed at Goha Enterprises. This Road allows anyone to upload their own ''Duel Monsters'' rules to the [[Goha Duel Server]] and use them immediately.
* OTES: Short for "Omniladybug Transcendental Eradication System". A suit of armor reminiscent of The Yugaman and [[Otes]] that makes whoever wears it indifferent to ladybugs. Yuga designed it to get rid of his fear for [[Dinois Velgear]]'s ladybug-shaped earmuffs and escape [[Zuwijo zir Velgear]]'s clutches.

==Decks==
===Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS===
====Birth of Rush Duels====
Yuga uses a '''[[Spellcaster]] [[Main Deck|Deck]]''', composed of [[Monster Card|monster]]s with varying [[Attribute]]s to facilitate the [[effect]] of his [[Signature card|ace monster]], "[[Sevens Road Magician (anime)|Sevens Road Magician]]", which he was given by [[Otes]]. He also includes several [[Spell Card]]s to increase the [[ATK]] of his monsters and that require precise manipulation of the cards in his [[hand]] and [[Graveyard]] to [[activate]], such as the "[[Road Magic]]" series. Yuga's Deck also includes a small number of monsters of varying [[Type]]s, such as the [[Warrior]] Type "[[Raidacross, Hero of the Dawn (anime)|Raidacross, Hero of the Dawn]]" and the [[Rock]] Type "[[Full Meteor Impact (anime)|Full Meteor Impact]]", both of which directly [[support]] Spellcaster Type monsters.

====Maximum====
After his [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]] against [[Roa Kassidy]] and his acceptance of the right to the title of [[King of Games (title)|King of Duels]], Yuga rebuilds his [[Main Deck|Deck]]. He still uses a '''[[Spellcaster]] Deck''', and his overall strategy has not changed; he includes a wide variety of [[Monster Card|monster]]s of different [[Attribute]]s to increase the [[ATK]] of "[[Sevens Road Magician (anime)|Sevens Road Magician]]" in addition to cards that take advantage of these Attributes. He also includes a wider variety of monsters of other [[Type]]s, including a new [[Signature card|ace monster]], "[[Lightning Voltcondor (anime)|Lightning Voltcondor]]", which can take advantage of the opponent only [[control]]ling a singular Attribute.

When Yuga is defeated by [[Nail Saionji]] using [[Maximum Summon]]ing, his friends convince him to rewrite their Duel ID cards into [[Maximum Monster]]s of his own using [[Real-Time Duel Programming|Real-Time Rush Duel Programming]]. Yuga subsequently does so during his second Rush Duel with Nail, creating the second known Maximum Monster: "[[Supreme Machine Magnum Overlord (anime)|Supreme Machine Magnum Overlord]]". Similarly to Nail, Yuga includes several cards that allow him to [[Draw a card|draw]] cards in order to quickly access the components, though his are generally more flexible, such as "[[Necromaid Nana (anime)|Necromaid Nana]]" and "[[Silent Learning (anime)|Silent Learning]]". After his Duel with Nail, the cards return to their original state, but he later recreates them from prototype Duel Disk ID cards for his second Duel with [[Asana Mutsuba]], though they disintegrated during the Duel. During the [[Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal]], Yuga acquires a new Maximum from Roa, Nail and Asana: "[[Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan (anime)|Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan]]".

By the finals of the Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal, Yuga's Deck has expanded its support for [[Level]] 7 monsters with cards such as "[[Thunderbold, the Blazing Thunder (anime)|Thunderbold, the Blazing Thunder]]", "[[Elemental Rush]]" and "[[Sevens Road Force]]". He also includes cards that [[Damage|inflict]] [[effect damage]] to his opponent such as "[[Level Blast (anime)|Level Blast]]", in order to corner them further alongside "Vast Vulcan" before even [[attack]]ing.

====Season 2====
Yuga's [[Main Deck|Deck]] uses similar strategies and focus as his previous one, with new support cards for specific [[Type]]s such as [[Warrior]] and [[Spellcaster]]. He continues to use "[[Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan (anime)|Hyper Engine Vast Vulcan]]", having had [[Asana Mutsuba]] repair the cards to prevent them from breaking down. Later, the cards are affected by [[Luke's wristwatch]], transforming them into a new [[Maximum Monster]]: "[[Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord (anime)|Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord]]". Alongside its usual win conditions, [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]], when using Yuga's Deck, demonstrates the Deck is capable of a reverse-mill strategy using "[[Poet Fairy (anime)|Poet Fairy]]", "[[Whispering Fairy (anime)|Whispering Fairy]]" and "[[1/Infinity]]" to deplete the opponent's [[Graveyard]] and punish them for their reliance on it for their card [[effect]]s.

During his [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]] with [[The Lukeman]], Yuga acquires "[[Fusion (anime Rush Duel)|Fusion]]", giving him access to [[Fusion Summon]]ing and bolstering [[support]] cards for [[Level]] 9 [[Monster Card|monster]]s such as "[[Scattered Solitude]]".

For his last [[Yu-Gi-Oh!

It is largely composed of [[Spellcaster]] [[Type]] [[Monster Card|monster]]s and the various [[Level]] 7 monsters used in Yuga's previous Decks throughout the series. As noted by Luke, it is less strong since [[Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord (L) (anime)|many]] [[Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord (anime)|of]] [[Supreme Skystream Magnum Overlord (R) (anime)|his]] [[Fusion (anime Rush Duel)|best]] [[Sevens Road Magician (anime)|cards]] were still in The Strongest Deck at the time.
