| |
| − | ===Appearance===
| |
| − | Masa is a stocky fair-skinned boy with short brown hair in three spikes, and brown eyes. He wears a cream-coloured shirt a sleeveless blue jacket, orange pants, and black boots. Like his fellow [[Newspaper Club]] members, he constantly carries around his journalist equipment and wears a yellow and black armband on his left bicep; Masa carries a microphone.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Personality===
| |
| − | Masa claims that he is devoted to the truth, but his questions can be provocative when he is giving interviews.<ref name="ep5">{{episode|SEVENS|005|ref}}</ref>

| − | ==Biography==
| |
| − | ===Birth of Rush Duels===
| |
| − | Masa, [[Cub]], and [[Scoop Pitman|Scoop]] interviewed [[Yuga Ohdo]] and [[Lucidien Kallister|Lucidien "Luke" Kallister]] about [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Dueling]]. Although Luke claimed Rush Dueling turned common sense on its head and put one onto a new path, Scoop found Rush Dueling to be simplistic and shallow and published an article decrying it. Yuga, Luke, [[Gavin Sogetsu]], and [[Romin Kassidy]] came to their office to order him to change the story, and Masa and Cub fended them off despite Gavin using the authority of the [[Goha 7 Elementary Student Council|Student Council]] against them until Yuga threatened to publish their paper online, where it would likely be censored by [[Goha Enterprises]] who had been doing the same to any digital content discussing Rush Duels. Scoop freaked out and revealed that he was the Chief to his visitors, and suggested they Duel to determine the content of the article.<ref name="ep5" />
| |
| − | | |
| − | Luke accepted Scoop's challenge, and Scoop stated that he didn't mind using Rush Dueling rules. Masa constantly interviewed both Duelists' throughout the Duel. Scoop was able to bring out all three of his "[[Printing Presser (anime)|Printing Presser]]s" and destroy all of Luke's monsters, but Luke was able to endure the turn by [[Dragon's Fortitude (anime)|reducing]] the [[ATK]] of one "Toughroid", surviving with 100 LP. Cub believed Scoop had won the Duel, but Luke he destroyed all of Scoop's "Toughroids" with "[[Dragonic Pressure (anime)|Dragonic Pressure]]", then brought out "[[Multistrike Dragon Dragias (anime)|Multistrike Dragon Dragias]]" and defeated Scoop. After Scoop's loss, Romin took Masa's microphone and "interviewed" Scoop, asking him how he felt about Rush Dueling now, and Scoop admitted that he'd come to like the depth and fun of Rush Duels. Masa, Scoop and Cub begged Yuga not to shut down their paper; Yuga agreed not to, and Scoop published a revised article that legitimately praised Rush Dueling; Masa and Cub quickly distributing it the following morning.<ref name="ep5" />
| |
| − | | |
| − | Gavin called Scoop to ask if he had any information on Yuga's "[[Sevens Road Magician (anime)|Sevens Road Magician]]", whose legality was being disputed as it was said to have been the reason for a Duelist being disqualified during the [[666th Goha Dueling Tournament]]. Masa, Scoop and Cub instead searched for information on the tournament itself, discovering a videotape with footage of the Duelist in question, [[Otes]], being disqualified for being a Goha employee.<ref name="ep12">{{episode|SEVENS|012|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep13">{{episode|SEVENS|013|ref}}</ref> [[Yosh Imimi]] was sent to bring Masa, Scoop and Cub to the [[Big Seven Arena]], where Yuga was Rush Dueling [[Roa Kassidy]], and they arrived just as Kaizo was about to disqualify Yuga. Masa connected their VCR player to Kaizo so that Scoop could show everyone the footage of Otes's disqualification, which also showed Roa present in the crowd during the event, resulting in Roa revealing his animosity over not being chosen to become the [[King of Games (title)|King of Duels]]. With the legality of "Sevens Road Magician" cleared up, Yuga and Roa continued their Duel with the right to the King of Duels title on the line. Yuga was pushed into a corner, but he was able to win.<ref name="ep13" />

| − | ===Maximum===
| |
| − | Some time after [[Yuga Ohdo|Yuga]] and [[Roa Kassidy|Roa]]'s Duel, [[Scoop Pitman|Scoop]] received a penalty on his [[Duel Disk]].<ref name="ep20">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|20|ref}}</ref> Masa, Scoop and [[Cub]] went to the [[Road Laboratory]], where Yuga explained that they and all his other friends had been penalized due to his challenge by Goha Duel Overseer [[Nail Saionji]] to retrieve the data of Yuga's Drone [[Kaizo]], and if anyone in Yuga's group of friends lost a Duel, they would all be penalized and their accounts deleted if they received six penalties. The penalty had occurred when [[Yosh Imimi|Yosh]] had defeated his mother [[Mimi Imimi|Mimi]], as Mimi had inadvertently become considered one of Yuga's friends; Masa used his microphone to interview whoever was speaking at the time. Despite the circumstances, everyone present agreed to help Yuga, given that all of their accounts were on the line, but then Yuga, [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]] and [[Gavin Sogetsu|Gavin]] were dropped into a pit leading to the [[Garden of Curiosity]], with [[Romin Kassidy|Romin]] and [[Saburamen]] also falling in.<ref name="ep21">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|21|ref}}</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Gavin later came to Masa, Scoop and Cub to ask them about [[Maximum Summon]]ing, showing them a drawing of the [[Maximum Monster]] "[[Yggdrago the Sky Emperor (anime)|Yggdrago the Sky Emperor]]", though Masa had never heard of it.<ref name="ep24">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|24|ref}}</ref> Masa was with Scoop and Cub in [[Goha City]] when they watched Yuga and Nail's Maximum Monsters, "[[Supreme Machine Magnum Overlord (anime)|Supreme Machine Magnum Overlord]]" and "Yggdrago the Sky Emperor" battling from the streets below. Yuga was forced to return his Maximum to his hand and was pushed into a corner, but to Masa's shock, [[Ricky]] and [[Katz]] declared their support for Yuga and were also penalized five times, as were many elementary students around Goha City. Fortunately Yuga was able to re-[[Maximum Summon]] "Magnum Overlord" again and defeated Nail, who erased the penalties on Scoop's Duel Disk.<ref name="ep26">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|26|ref}}</ref>

| − | ===Goha #6 Elementary===
| |
| − | Masa was with [[Scoop Pitman|Scoop]] and [[Cub]] at the [[Newspaper Club]] after school one day when [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]] came to them and asked them to join his new [[Rush Duel Club|Luke Club]], dubbing them members four, five, and six without their consent. Once Luke had left, Masa and his friends quickly agreed that they wouldn't be joining the club.<ref name="ep27">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|27|ref}}</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Yuga Ohdo|Yuga]], Luke, [[Gavin Sogetsu|Gavin]], [[Romin Kassidy|Romin]], [[Rayne]] and [[Rino]] were all forced to transfer to [[Goha 6 Elementary|Goha #6 Elementary]]. Cub came to Masa Scoop with a warning that a caterpillar track was headed for the [[Road Laboratory]], so they enlisted the help of the [[Post-Apocalyptic Club]] to defend it, but they were all easily disarmed by the caterpillar track's driver, [[Caterpillio Elephantis]], scaring [[Yosh Imimi|Yosh]] and [[Mason|his]] [[Toshihiko|friends]] away. Masa and his friends refused to flee even as Caterpillio's track bore down on them, but fortunately they were saved by Luke's sister [[Tiadosia Kallister|Tiadosia "Tiger" Kallister]], who challenged Caterpillio to a [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]]. Masa tried to interview Tiger throughout the Duel, but his questions annoyed her and she continually sent him and Cub flying away with a yell. Tiger eventually defeated Caterpillio, but despite his loss, Caterpillio tried to dismantle the lab anyway until he was stopped by [[Galian Townsend]], another member of Goha 6th's [[Heavy Cavalry Duel Club]]. After they left, Masa interviewed Tiger over her victory, and she noted that this wasn't the full strength of the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club.<ref name="ep35">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|35|ref}}</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Masa later witnessed Yuga's second Rush Duel with [[Asana Mutsuba]], the leader of the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club, from afar at [[Goha 7 Elementary|Goha #7 Elementary]].<ref name="ep39">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|39|ref}}</ref>

| − | ===Team Battle Royal===
| |
| − | [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]] began to have [[Goha 7 Elementary|Goha #7 Elementary]] painted blue, so Masa, [[Cub]] and Scoop interviewed him as to why. Luke and [[Kaizo]] confirmed they were painting the school the color of "[[Multistrike Dragon Dragias (anime)|Multistrike Dragon Dragias]]" for a two-day celebration of his ascendance on the [[Goha 7 Elementary Student Council|Student Council]] and they both began laughing as they reveled in their power, something Scoop called a scoop.<ref name="ep41">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|41|ref}}</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Masa, Scoop and Cub learned about the [[Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal]] from [[Prioria Sweetalina]]'s announcement.<ref name="ep42">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|42|ref}}</ref> They decided to enter as a team, attending the registration at [[Goha Stadium]] and interviewing [[Janko Entant]] from [[Goha 6 Elementary|Goha #6 Elementary]]'s [[Goha 6 Elementary Student Council|Student Council]].<ref name="ep43">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|43|ref}}</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Masa, Scoop and Cub made it through the first day of the tournament as Team Newspaper Extra.<ref name="ep45">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|45|ref}}</ref> On the second day, [[Rino]] contacted them and explained that Luke, [[Romin Kassidy|Romin]] and [[Gavin Sogetsu|Gavin]] required aid in their efforts to uncover the truth behind an organization calling themselves "[[Goha 66]]", so Masa, Scoop and Cub went with the [[Post-Apocalyptic Club]] and the Gourmet Comrades Team to rescue them from a mob of defeated Duelists. At Scoop's suggestion, [[Saburamen]], [[Briscoe]] and [[Sushiko Maki|Sushiko]] accompanied Luke, Romin and Gavin, while Masa, Scoop and Cub remained behind with the Post-Apocalyptic Club to hold off the Duelists, though they weren't thrilled by Luke's statement that he would only remember them for three days.<ref name="ep46">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|46|ref}}</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Despite their efforts, Masa, Scoop, and Cub failed to place in the tournament, so they attended the finals of the Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal on the third day, watching Romin's victory against Roa and Gavin's Duel against [[Nail Saionji|Nail]] and witnessing Gavin's new "DJ G" persona. Faced with "[[Yggdrago the Sky Emperor (anime)|Yggdrago the Sky Emperor]]", Gavin eventually returned to his normal persona after a power outage in the stadium and forced a [[DRAW]], leaving Yuga and Luke to have a final Duel.<ref name="ep49">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|49|ref}}</ref><ref name="ep50">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|50|ref}}</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Masa watched Yuga and Luke's Rush Duel, where the power in the stadium began to fail again, revealed to be due to the [[Goha Duel Server]] being hacked, and Masa witnessed the revelation of the Goha Duel Server on the moon and the Rush Duel Program contained within, under attack by [[Goha Enterprises Drone]]s that were uninstalling it and had been all tournament.<ref name="ep51">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|51|ref}}</ref> Despite knowing their Duel would complete the uninstallation, Yuga and Luke continued to Duel. Masa applauded when Luke eventually won, resulting in the uninstallation of Rush Dueling, but Yuga and Nail were able to reinstall the program and install it in the [[Super Rush Robot]] to protect it from another attack. Masa then watched Luke's coronation as King of Duels.<ref name="ep52">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|52|ref}}</ref>

| − | ===Goha 6 Siblings===
| |
| − | After becoming [[King of Games|King of Duels]], the power went to [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]]'s head again and he began bossing the other Duelists at the school around. [[Tiadosia Kallister|Tiger]] leaked her brother's childhood manga "[[The Lukeman (manga)|The Lukeman]]" to the [[Newspaper Club]] and had them publish it to give Luke's ego a much-needed check.<ref name="ep53">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|53|ref}}</ref>
| |
| − | | |
| − | The true [[Goha Enterprises|Goha]] Presidents, the [[Goha Six]], returned to [[Earth (planet)|Earth]], evicted the current president, [[Mimi Imimi]], and challenged [[Yuga Ohdo|Yuga]] and his friends to [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duels]] with the [[Super Rush Robot]] held hostage by [[Forcersizers]] that would shake it apart unless Yuga defeated the six siblings.<ref name="ep54">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|54|ref}}</ref> Masa was in [[Goha City]] one night with [[Scoop Pitman|Scoop]], [[Cub]] and the [[Post-Apocalyptic Club]] when he watched the Rush Duel between Yuga and [[The Lukeman]], including [[Yuo Goha]]'s rage after he believed Yuga and The Lukeman weren't taking the Duel seriously. To Masa's shock a meteor entered the atmosphere and plunged towards Yuga, having been dragged in by the [[Goha Meteor Shower]], and Yuga blocked the meteor with his [[Duel Disk]], acquiring the "[[Fusion (anime Rush Duel)|Fusion]]" card contained within it and using it to defeat The Lukeman, saving the Super Rush Robot.<ref name="ep67">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|67|ref}}</ref>

| − | ===Goha Employee===
| |
| − | [[Yuga Ohdo|Yuga]], [[Lucidien Kallister|Luke]], [[Romin Kassidy|Romin]], [[Gavin Sogetsu|Gavin]], [[Yuga Goha|Swirls]], [[Rayne]] and [[Rino]] were hired by [[Goha Enterprises]], and after Luke hired [[Yosh Imimi|Yosh]], [[Mason]] and [[Toshihiko]] to work in his Luke Division, Masa, [[Scoop Pitman|Scoop]] and [[Cub]] went to the [[Goha Enterprises Main Office]] to interview Luke, hoping to interview all the [[Goha 7 Elementary|Goha #7 Elementary]] students who had become Goha employees, though when Masa interviewed Luke they were discouraged by his apparent lack of a plan for the day's work. Luke claimed they would plan around what their colleagues were doing, but after observing Gavin stamping documents, Romin arguing with the [[Chef Drone]]s, Yosh's mother [[Mimi Imimi|Mimi]] working in the Gohanium Section and Yuga trying to present a new vending machine, all that had been accomplished was Mason and Toshihiko being kicked out of the building after [[Bochi]] urinated on Yuga's vending machine. [[Tracker]] then arrived and led them to an underground stairway he claimed smelled of money. Tracker's nose led them to an abandoned Goha factory containing a [[Duel Card Manufacturer]], and after Masa switched the lights on, Scoop demonstrated it by making "[[The★Luke Division Manager]]" for Luke and Masa made "[[Masa on the Mic]]". Tracker eagerly asked if the machine could make normal ''[[Duel Monsters]]'' cards, hoping to partner with Luke by making more [[Maximum Monster]]s and "[[Fusion (anime Rush Duel)|Fusions]]". Scoop vehemently protested against the idea and Tracker suggested they settle the matter in a [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]]. Scoop gained an early lead, but Tracker [[Maximum Summon]]ed "[[Dynamic Dino Dynamix (anime)|Dynamic Dino Dynamix]]" and easily destroyed all of Scoop's cards and depleted most of his LP. Scoop vowed that he would reveal the truth and [[Fusion Summon]]ed "[[Newsflash the Journalistic Juggernaut (anime)|Newsflash the Journalistic Juggernaut]]", using his prior knowledge of Tracker's monsters in combination with "[[Hot Off the Press (anime)|Hot Off the Press]]" and the effect of "Newsflash" to damage his LP and weaken "Dynamix", defeating Tracker. Luke offered Tracker a job so he could have a real dream after the Duel, and the ceiling caved in and destroyed the Duel Card Manufacturer, an outcome Luke suggested was for the best. They then found a [[Duel ID cards|Duel ID card]] in the rubble with the name "Yuga Goha".<ref name="ep72">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|72|ref}}</ref>
