As a part of this cool persona, Luke tends to act dramatic, with long and complicated [[Summon chants in Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|Summon chants]] and [[Attack and effect names in Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|attack names]], and often assumes that matters are more complicated than they are: attributing his ability to disable technology to a demon and believing that [[Yuga Ohdo|Yuga]] let him win their Rush Duel to teach him what he wanted to accomplish with them, while later believing [[Buff Grimes]] kidnapped him to make him a Dueling Superhuman rather than doing so by mistake when he was simply after revenge.<ref name="ep22" /><ref name="ep2">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|2|ref}}</ref> As a result he is particularly scared by [[Toombs]]'s ghost stories during their Duel.<ref name="ep10">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|10|ref}}</ref> Despite his suspicions of [[Romin Kassidy]], when Yuga invites her over to his [[Road Laboratory]], he quickly congratulates Yuga and is mortified when he is the only one to not bring her a gift before the [[RoaRomin]] concert she invites them to later.<ref name="ep10" /><ref name="ep3">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|3|ref}}</ref> His dramatism is heightened while he is controlled by [[The Lukeman]], often repeating statements twice and proclaiming his strength.<ref name="ep62">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|62|ref}}</ref>
Luke can be quite perceptive, noting when Romin was spying on them and her unusual levels of knowledge of Dueling despite her denial in it, and later noticing [[Saburamen]] worrying during his Duel with [[Celestia Noodlina]], though these events would seem to be the exceptions that prove the rule.<ref name="ep1">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|1|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep21">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|21|ref}}</ref> Later interactions with Luke show him missing the subtleties of Yuga's plans both due to his assumption that things are more than they seem and a tendency for general obliviousness. Luke is initially cautious regarding Rush Dueling, as he does not want [[Goha Enterprises]] to discover it, but he later comes to accept Yuga's wish to spread Rush Dueling across the world for people to enjoy. Despite this, he is still paranoid that Goha Corp are watching them (and justly so) and he is quick to suspect that both Romin and [[Mimi Imimi]] are spying for them.<ref name="ep3" /> Showcasing his resolve to stand by Yuga's desires for Rush Dueling, Luke fiercely defends Rush Dueling whenever it is insulted, even dismissing insults towards himself and briefly overcoming his fear of his sister when he believes she has insulted Yuga.<ref name="ep30" /><ref name="ep5">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|5|ref}}</ref> He even volunteers to entrust his [[Duel ID cards|Duel ID card]] to Yuga for a [[Maximum Monster]], despite the fact that this would put an end to his dream to become the King of Duels, and he admits that he wants to see what lies beyond Yuga's road.<ref name="ep25">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|25|ref}}</ref>
Luke has long been aware of the expectation he will assume control over [[Kallister Gears]] and developed a fierce dislike for gears and the notion of being a "cog" in society.<ref name="ep64" /> As he still desires power, he has a tendency to make outlandish and ambitious schemes, though these are initially ignored by his friends. He somewhat comically asks if Yuga is sure he wants to relinquish the title of King of Duels, but seizes on the opportunity immediately.<ref name="ep2" /><ref name="ep4" /> He believes himself to be the most important individual among his group of friends; this trait is generally played for comedic purposes and disregarded by his friends, and comes to believe Buff Grimes went down the wrong path due to his actions.<ref name="ep22" /><ref name="ep5" /> Additionally, Luke has been shown to be very arrogant and completely unrestrained in flaunting any leverage or degree of importance he may hold. When he became vice-president of the Student Council while Gavin was absent, Luke unilaterally abused his power by forcing the alumni to paint buildings blue as a nod to his ace monster while he sat on a throne watching. After becoming the King of Duels, he stopped any Duelist he found in school and demanded that they called his name while stating that he was King. In both instances it took the intervention of Tiger to stop his mischief.<ref name="ep41">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|41|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep53">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|53|ref}}</ref> After he joins [[Yuo Goha|Yuo]] and becomes a Goha President, Luke revels in his new power and takes great pleasure in calling himself "President Luke", and his narrow success in defeating Roa due to three lucky draws has him arrogantly proclaim the god of Duels is watching over him.<ref name="ep63" /> Luke later admits he knows he isn't really one of the [[Goha Six]], but desires to prove he has grown up.<ref name="ep64" />
Although Luke, Gavin and Romin had promised Yuga they would work with him to discover a way to defeat Maximum Summoning, Yuga was not at the Road Laboratory when they went there the next day. Luke tried ringing Yuga's phone, though he only got the answering service, and with the three of them unable to find Yuga, they decided to look for hints on how to defeat Maximum Summoning on their own. Luke visited the Ramen Hut to ask Saburamen and [[Ramen Hut Owner|the shopkeeper]] about Maximum, but found no information. Eventually he realized Otes was the most likely person to would know about Maximum Summoning and he headed to his chamber to contact him, finding Gavin and Romin were already there, having had the same idea. Otes appeared to them after they had gathered and confirmed that he knew about Maximum Summoning. He agreed to tell them how to defeat it if they all defeated him in a Rush Duel, warning them that the system would penalize them all regardless of the results, as Otes was counted as one of Yuga's allies. Despite the risk, Luke, Gavin and Romin all agreed to Duel, and Otes split in three to Duel them. Otes opposed Luke with "[[Red-Eyes Black Dragon (anime Rush Duel)|Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]" and reduced his [[LP]] with "[[Inferno Fire Blast (anime Rush Duel)|Inferno Fire Blast]]", then after Romin Tribute Summoned, used "[[Black Dragon's Roar (anime)|Black Dragon's Roar]]" to increase the ATK and DEF of "Red-Eyes" and return "Inferno Fire Blast" to the top of his Deck, ensuring Luke would lose on his next turn. Remembering the passion he had felt when Yuga had encouraged him to find his own "daor", Luke was able to defeat Otes with "Dragias". Gavin and Romin won their Duels with Otes as well, and Otes congratulated them before vanishing, telling them that the hint to defeating Maximum was within them all along. As they considered Otes' words, with Luke taking them literally initially and examining his own body for the hint, they realized that all ''three'' of them had found the resolve to continue, and they wondered if this was what Otes meant.<ref name="ep24" /> Luke, Gavin and Romin decided that Yuga's best chance to defeat Nail's Maximum was to install it himself, and they decided to entrust Yuga with their [[Duel ID cards]] to create the necessary [[Maximum Monster]]s.<ref name="ep25" /> They returned to the Road Laboratory to wait for Yuga, who finally returned that evening and apologized to them. Luke excitedly told Yuga about how they had all defeated Otes, and they encouraged him to accept their resolve and win.<ref name="ep24" /> Yuga was unwilling to use his friends' plan, as he didn't want to erase their accounts by rewriting their cards, though Luke reassured Yuga that it would be fine, even if it meant removing his primary objective of becoming the King of Duels, as he wanted to see what lay beyond Yuga's road. After Gavin took out a Goha Enterprises Drone that tried to penalize them for opening their Duel Disks, Yuga helped Luke eject his Duel ID card and Luke gave it to Yuga, telling him that he was counting on him.<ref name="ep25" />
Yuga took his friends to the Goha Enterprises Main Office to visit the [[Goha Duel Museum]], though Luke initially believed they were there to visit the [[Goha Company Cafeteria]]. Luke marveled at the exhibits at the Museum, including full-scale models of legendary Duel Monsters and Duel Disk prototypes, and then spotted what he believed to be a model of Nail, only to learn that it was really Nail when Seatbastian angrily ordered Luke to stop disrespecting Nail. Nail then made a disparaging comment regarding Luke's grades, something Luke mistook as praise until Gavin informed him otherwise. Yuga challenged Nail to another Duel, and Nail told them all to enjoy the Duel Museum while they could still Duel. Yuga played defensively on his first turn, a strategy that Luke praised given their lack of knowledge of Nail's "Yggdrago". Nail began churning through his cards again, and he Maximum Summoned "Yggdrago the Sky Emperor", taking them to the top of the Goha Main Office. Yuga tried to destroy "Yggdrago" with [[Magiquartet Shock (anime)|a Trap Card]], but "Yggdrago" proved to be immune to destruction by Traps, which Nail explained was one of its three Maximum Effects. Nail used its second effect to destroy Yuga's "[[Bascule the Moving Fortress (anime)|Bascule the Moving Fortress]]", an effect Luke recognized from when he destroyed "Sevens Road Magician", then used the final effect to change Yuga's "[[Straynge Cat (anime)|Straynge Cat]]" into Attack Position, though Yuga was able to [[Trick Guard|survive]] the turn. To Luke's joy, Yuga drew their Duel ID cards on his next turn and successfully rewrote them into Maximum Monsters, but Luke was horrified when Yuga's Duel Disk couldn't handle the strain of [[Real-Time Duel Programming|Real-Time Rush Duel Programming]]. Kaizo then squirmed out of Romin's arms and indicated that Yuga should use his processing power to complete the installation, which Luke realized would likely erase the remnants of Kaizo. Yuga was reluctant to use Kaizo until he reminded him that beating Nail would return his original data, and after Yuga successfully stabilized the installation, Luke aided him in Maximum Summoning "[[Supreme Machine Magnum Overlord (anime)|Supreme Machine Magnum Overlord]]".<ref name="ep25" /> Yuga used the effect of "Magnum Overlord" to increase its ATK higher than "Yggdrago", but Nail was able to protect "Yggdrago" from being destroyed and inflict the damage to Yuga as well, though the effect of "Magnum Overlord" protected itself from Nail's [[Absurd Void Hole(anime)|Trap]]. Nail powered-up "Yggdrago" on his next turn and attacked, though Yuga was able to negate the attack by [[Emergency Return (anime)|returning]] "Magnum Overlord" to his hand. Before Yuga could re-Maximum Summon "Magnum Overlord", Nail [[Paradigm Shift|returned it to his Deck]], forcing him to hold out with "Sevens Road Magician" and "[[Sevens Road Witch (anime)|Sevens Road Witch]]". Luke noted that ordinary cards likely wouldn't be enough to defeat a Maximum, and was proven right when Nail was again able to protect "Yggdrago" and restored his LP to 4000. As Nail told them that this would be the last Rush Duel after reducing Yuga to 100 LP, Seatbastian reported that many other elementary students had declared their support for Yuga and also been penalized, prompting Luke to comment that they had more allies than they thought. Yuga was able to use card effects to re-draw his Maximum cards, but Nail returned them to the Deck again, though Yuga was able to draw it for a third time and Maximum Summon it. Nail reminded Yuga that his "[[Pair Destruction]]" Trap that they'd seen earlier that turn was still Set, which Luke noted would inflict 4000 damage to both of them if Yuga destroyed "Yggdrago" and cause a [[DRAW]]. Fortunately, Yuga was able to power-up "Magnum Overlord" even further with the effect of "Magnum Overlord [L]", allowing him to defeat Nail. After the Rush Duel, Seatbastian returned Kaizo to them, though Luke was exasperated at Kaizo's renewed fawning over Romin, and Nail revealed that he had been Dueling with five penalties as well and that his account had been deleted, though Luke's Duel ID was restored from "Magnum Overlord".<ref name="ep26">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

===Goha #6 Elementary===
Luke, Yuga and Swirls found Romin and Gavin waiting for them, and they revealed Nana had manipulated Gavin, Roa and Mimi into investigating Yuga by disguising herself as Romin, while Luke also relayed their day's adventure. Once they reached Yuo's office, he began their emergency meeting.<ref name="ep76" /> Yuo explained that he intended to fuse Rush Duels and Goha Duels, seeking Yuga's permission. Luke promptly suggested calling the new format after him, though Yuo's suggestion of "New Goha Duels" prompted Luke to side against the issue. However Yuga told Yuo he could fuse the formats, and Luke jumped on the [[President Drone]] to stop it from uploading the new rules, but to their shock they learned people across the world were uploading their own rules through Yuga's newest Road, and the reason he'd joined Goha, "Duel Create-a-nator", which was causing accompanying structures to be constructed on the [[Goha Duel Server]]. Luke congratulated Yuga, and Yuo tried to fire Yuga, but the rest of the Goha Six returned and vetoed his decision, though Yuga claimed they could still fire him if they told him about the forbidden card. The Goha Six didn't know anything about the card, but had detected activity underground, something Luke found familiar. As he was fanning himself with "The★Luke Division Manager" and Romin asked to see it, Luke remembered the Duel Card Manufacturer had been underground and they wondered if Nana had used it to create a forbidden card. They all took the elevator to the factory, where Luke admitted the machine had been destroyed, but as [[Yuka Goha|Yuka]] pointed out it had been repaired. [[Mrs. Drone]] printed the forbidden card "[[Monster Reborn (anime Rush Duel)|Monster Reborn]]", prompting Swirls to attack Luke and leap off him, arming himself with a black [[Duel Disk]] that had been in the President Drone, and Yuo, who had picked up "Monster Reborn," accepted the Duel. Luke cheered Swirls on as Yuo used "Monster Reborn" to revive one of Swirls' monsters, shocking Luke with the power of the effect, though Swirls didn't return to normal. Yuo Fusion Summoned "[[Metarion King Cobrastar (anime)|Metarion King Cobrastar]]" and used its anti-Reptile effect while chanting a spell that would return Swirls to normal, but Luke was still uneasy, eventually realizing that someone still had to own the "Yuga Goha" ID card he'd found. To his shock, Swirls survived Yuo's attacks and revealed himself to be the sixth Goha Six, Yuga Goha. Luke realized this was what Tiger had been trying to stop after he learned Yuga Goha had been so violent his siblings had cast a spell on him with "Monster Reborn" after Yuga tried to use it himself. Vowing revenge for being sealed, Yuga Goha defeated Yuo with "Monster Reborn" and "[[Predator Gunleon (anime)|Predator Gunleon]]", and after the Duel Luke took Swirls' bowtie and asked him to come back to the Luke Division, but Yuga simply bid Luke goodbye and used the President Drone as a wingsuit to fly away.<ref name="ep77">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!

==DeckDecks==
Luke uses a '''[[Dragon]] [[Main Deck|Deck]]''', spearheaded by his [[Signature card|ace monster]] "[[Multistrike Dragon Dragias (anime)|Multistrike Dragon Dragias]]". His Deck focuses on an aggressive playstyle, revolving around [[destroy]]ing his opponent's cards, [[Summon]]ing as many high-[[Level]] [[Monster Card|monster]]s on the [[field]] as possible, and [[declare|declaring]] multiple [[attack]]s with them during the same [[Battle Phase]]. Luke's Deck has several options for getting three Level 7 monsters on the field at once and circumventing the two [[Tribute]] requirement, such as "[[Righteous Dragon (anime)|Righteous Dragon]]" and "[[Hypernova (anime)|Hypernova]]". His high-Level monsters generally have [[effect]]s that he uses in tandem with "Dragias" to make the best use of its effect and [[Damage|inflict]] as much [[Battle damage|damage]] as possible, such as "[[Dragonic Slayer (anime)|Dragonic Slayer]]" and "[[Shock Dragon (anime)|Shock Dragon]]".
