The Star Shuttle Rush, known as the Mutsuba Proto-Spaceship RUSH in the Japanese version, is a spacecraft prototype constructed by Mutsuba Heavy Machinery in the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime. Yuga Ohdo and his friends use it to travel to the Moon to stop the lunar Goha Enterprises Drones from overloading the Goha Duel Server, as all other spacecraft had been disabled by a city-wide Pauli effect.
After returning his friends to the Super Mobile Fortress Sixross, Yuga uses this spacecraft during Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!.
Design
Structure
The Star Shuttle Rush resembles a hybrid of a space shuttle and a super heavy-lift launch vehicle; the front portion is reusable and capable of reentry to Earth's atmosphere, which the larger back section serves the purpose of launching the spacecraft and detaches once its fuel is expanded outside Earth's atmosphere.[1]
Due to the age of the vehicle, it was decided a highly explosive fuel was needed. Romin Kassidy's Dragias Curry and Prima Guitarna Curry, known for their explosive properties when disturbed or mixed, were cooked in vast quantities and contained within colored tanks on both sections of the craft that could disperse the curry into the engines, provided the sufficient propellent to launch the spacecraft.[1]
The spacecraft was launched along a track constructed in a single night that curved down and then up a nearby hillside. After the curries are mixed, the spacecraft is propelled along the track down the hill and then up the next hillside. Once it has reached the end of the vertical track, the launch sequence continues under its own power until it breaks through the stratosphere. Afterwards the rear section is ejected and the shuttle continues its flight using its own curry reservoirs.[1]
History
Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS
Due to Yuga Ohdo's Original Duel Development Road, multiple Dueling formats were created in the Goha Duel Server, resulting in physical representations of the formats being sculpted on the surface of the Moon by the lunar Goha Enterprises Drones stationed there. At Nail Saionji's suggestion, Lucidien "Luke" Kallister triggered a massive Pauli effect using the cache of wristwatches under Goha #7 Elementary, deactivating all the machinery in Goha City, including the commands being sent to the Drones.[2]
The Hyper-Pauli effect also deactivated most spacecraft in Goha City, including the Super Mobile Fortress Sixross, so Asana Mutsuba suggested using this craft to reach the Moon. Due to the age of the craft it was determined to require Romin Kassidy's Dragias Curry and Prima Guitarna Curry as fuel, so vast quantities were mixed and the spacecraft modified to contain and disperse them. After successfully launching the next day, Yuga, Luke, Romin, Gavin Sogetsu, Roa Kassidy, Nail and Asana travelled to the Moon, but were attacked by the Otes Robot. After evading the Otes Robot's thrown meteors, the Mutsuba Proto-Spaceship RUSH was docked into the Super Rush Robot and connected its Curry Drive to the robot, allowing Luke, Romin, Gavin, Roa, Nail and Asana to control the Super Rush Robot using the Goha Six's crowns while Yuga Rush Dueled Otes.[1]
After the Otes Robot fled to the far side of the Moon due to Celestia Noodlina, Terra Kneadalina, Prioria Sweetalina, Oceania Illumilina, Hire Yureko and Konvoy Sagawa believing their end of work time had arrived, Yuga removed his friends from the Star Shuttle Rush and placed them on Sixross with the Super Rush Robot, knowing the latter was reaching its limits. However, Luke refused to allow Yuga to go alone and used The Lukeman to catch up to him, Dueling him about the Mutsuba Proto-Spaceship RUSH.[3] Yuga eventually defeated Luke with a new "Sevens Road Magician" that he had created from his Duel ID card and gave it to Luke before ejecting him from the Mutsuba Proto-Spaceship RUSH. Afterwards, Yuga travelled to the other side of the Moon to resume his Rush Duel with Otes. As Yuga had given his Duel ID card to Luke, he was forced to propel the Super Rush Robot and the Otes Robot into hyperspace to finish the Rush Duel before they could enter the range of the Goha Duel Server and disqualify Yuga; this destroyed both Robots, but the Star Shuttle Rush survived.[4]
Two years later, Yuga returned to Earth in the Mutsuba Proto-Spaceship RUSH.[4]
Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!
Yuga and Kaizo attempted to return to Earth, but somehow arrived in the past instead, crashing into Zaidavelgear. Both ships crashed on the outskirts of Mutsuba Town, where Yuga met the captain of the other ship, Zuwijo zir Velgear.[5]
