Manya and [[Mutsuba Cable TV]] assisted [[MIK (organization)|MIK]] in covering-up the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]] between [[Yudias Velgear|Yudias]] and [[Zuwijo zir Velgear|Zuwijo]], though their broadcast was briefly interrupted by a protestor claiming the destruction hadn't been planned for TV before MIK agents took him away, much to Manya's relief.<ref name="ep14">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|14|ref}}</ref> Soon afterwards, [[London Kirishima|Kirishima]] disappeared, leaving Manya and [[Bochi]] to do his work; [[Yuamu Ohdo|Yuamu]] called to ask to speak to Kirishima, noting his absence was as she had thought and arousing Manya's suspicions.<ref name="ep21">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|21|ref}}</ref> After Bochi learned something strange was happening in the [[Alien Residential Area]], they decided to investigate, infiltrating [[Badloon Castle]] and disguising themselves as [[Rovian Bandits]] after Bochi knocked two of the Bandits unconscious with his [[Wicked Fist of the Beloved Dog]] technique. After intruders were discovered in the castle, Manya and Bochi joined the Bandits, including [[Yuna Goha]], on the roof, witnessing [[Rovian Kirishima]] introduce herself to the twins and challenge them to a 2 vs. 1 Rush Duel. Manya was surprised to learn Rovian shared London's surname, but kept her cover and had to endure Yuna hitting her with the bag containing [[Fisher Sukai]]'s skyfish to get her to cheer for Rovian. After Rovian defeated the twins and Yuna drained their [[Duel Power (GO RUSH!!)|Duel Power]], Manya warned the twins to close their eyes before throwing a flashbang, allowing her and Bochi to rescue them and [[Valvelgear]]. <ref name="ep22">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|22|ref}}</ref> Once they were on the outskirts of Badloon Castle, Manya gave the twins some of her Duel Power to allow them to move and she and Bochi revealed themselves, explaining why they were there. Manya claimed the twins would owe her a favor and tried to get them to leave, but Yuhi refused to leave without Yudias, who had been transformed into a shirt-like form and was still at Badloon Castle.<ref name="ep22" /> With the twins set on rescuing Yudias, Manya reminded them they needed to both do so before the last train arrived and find another way in, as the Rovian Bandits would be be after them, so Bochi suggested cutting through [[Under-Underground Town]], where he had lived before meeting Manya. After Manya and Yuhi noticed a restaurant selling tsukemen, the group stopped to recuperate and Manya critically analyzed the restaurant with her experience from filming ''[[Hanako the Naruto]]''. After the group revealed they'd abused the free first bowl policy of the restaurant by feeding tsukemen to the [[Velgearian]]s aboard Valvelgear, the chef revealed himself as [[Menjaburo Omori]], a Rovian Bandit, and challenged them to a Rush Duel. Manya accepted the challenge, catching Menjaburo's attention with her knowledge of tsukemen. During the Duel, Manya took note of Menjaburo also using an [[Equip Spell Card]], a new type of [[Spell Card]] she had observed Rovian using. She made a comeback with "[[Dian Keto the Gourmet Maiden (anime)|Dian Keto the Gourmet Maiden]]", claiming she could see through the ingredients Menjaburo had included in his tsukemen, but Menjaburo cornered her on her next turn. Knowing she would lose, Manya distracted Menjaburo by deducing the secret ingredient in his dipping sauce, allowing the Ohdo twins to sneak away as Menjaburo defeated her. She admitted it was an honor to lose to Menjaburo before stopping her acting and admitting her deception. The twins successfully rescued Yudias, but they missed the last train home; fortunately Manya had taken the precaution of calling [[MIK (organization)|MIK]], who sent [[Manabu Sogetsu|Manabu]] and [[Nyandestar]] to rescue them with a handcar.<ref name="ep23">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!
