Changes

Ten years prior to the story, Akira and Aoi's parents were married, and the two became siblings. But on their way to an anniversary, their parents died in a car accident.<ref name="ep7">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|7|ref}}</ref> This left Akira and Aoi alone and their possessions were sold, including their manor. To provide a living for him and his sister, Akira often broke the law, but Aoi made him happy, and Akira swore to protect her smile.<ref name="ep18">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|18|ref}}</ref> Aoi cried a lot for the disappearance of her parents, feeling alone and miserable. To cheer her up, Akira read her the story of "[[Blue Angel (book)|Blue Angel]]", which made Aoi happier. This also motivated her to become a hero of LINK VRAINS, under the alias of Blue Angel.<ref name="ep33">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|33|ref}}</ref>

Spectre explained his monster could not be targeted for attacks, but . Blue Angel suspected there was more to it than that, while Spectre set a card. She asked about Ghost Girl's whereabouts, as Spectre joked that he hoped he would be Ghost Girl's friend, with a name like that. Blue Angel demanded a serious answer, as Spectre proclaimed Revolver had defeated her, and was a part of Tower of Hanoi as data. He assured Blue Angel she would be a part of the tower, too. Blue Angel swore she would not allow Spectre to do that, by defeating him, which amused Spectre. Blue Angel started her turn by summoning two "[[Trickstar]]" monsters, and played "[[Trickstar Light Arena (anime)|Trickstar Light Arena]]" to prevent Specter from activating his Set card, and brought out "Trickstar Holly Angel". Spectre noted its effects can damage him and strengthen "Holly Angel", as Blue Angel noted being too popular had its drawbacks. She revived "[[Trickstar Lilybell]]" and inflicted 200 LP damage on Spectre. However, she saw the tree started reacting, but Spectre ordered her to continue. "Lilybell" attacked Spectre directly, who announced his tree's effects have been triggered - Spectre Special Summoned a Link Monster, "[[Sunvine Gardna]]", which restored Spectre's LP back. Spectre took note that Blue Angel drew inspiration from the book named after her. Spectre admitted it was a good book, and read it out loud, claiming the character, "Blue Angel", shared the traits of Aoi Zaizen herself.<ref name="ep33"/>

Seeing Akira is her "treasure", Spectre knew Aoi fears losing that "treasure" the most. He proclaimed Blue Angel would lose everything, after she loses to him in this Duel. Spectre drew a card and was inflicted 400 LP damage, and used "Sunavalon Dryas" to bring out "[[Sunvine Healer]]", which restored his 500 LP back. Using "Spectre Healer", Spectre's "Sunavalon Dryas" evolved into "Sunavalon Dryades", a Link-2 tree. He noted like Akira protects his sister, this tree protects Spectre. Blue Angel sensed Spectre was also alone, since he loved the book, but unlike her, he was not loved and became destructive, which is the source of his power. Spectre found Blue Angel a strange person to have noticed his traits. Still, this made to him clear that Blue Angel knew her purpose, and found it bad that she would not live up to that. He brought the "Sunseed Genius Loci", using it to Link Summon "[[Sunvine ThrasherSlasher]]", whose ATK was boosted to 2400. "Sunvine ThrasherSlasher" destroyed "Holly Angel" in a double K.O., but Specter revived the latter to "Sunavalon Drydes'" [[Link Marker]]. "Holly Angel" destroyed one of Blue Angel's "Trickstar Lycoris", and Spectre asked her how did it feel to be attacked by her own ace monster. Blue Angel wondered if there was a way to destroy his tree, and upon looking at her [[hand]], found a new strategy.<ref name="ep33"/>

Aoi uses a '''"[[Trickstar]]" Deck'''<ref name="ep1" /> that incorporates [[Link Summoning]]. Her main strategy is to first gain card advantage while Summoning multiple "Trickstar" monsters, then use a combination of "[[Trickstar Light Stage|Trickster Light Stage]]" and "[[Trickstar Lycoris]]" to inflict effect damage to the opponent multiple times a turn, while powering up "[[Trickstar Holly Angel (anime)|Trickstar Holly Angel]]" at the same time. [[Ai]] describes her Duel style as "poking with needles". Her tactics also include quickly assembling different "Trickstar" cards to perform a variety of combos.
