{{double image|left|TakeruHomura-Normal-ConceptArt.png|200|TakeruHomura-VR-ConceptArt.png|200|Full views of Takeru, both in reality and as Soulburner.}}

Takeru is a fair-skinned bespectacled teen with grey eyes and dual-layered hair; the more predominant top section is silver, while the bottom layer is reddish-orange. He has five prominent, but short, spiky locks in his bangs; the outer two frame his face, while the central three curve to the left of his head in a similar style to [[Yugo]]. He wears ovular green-rimmed spectacles that leave the base of the lens exposed. Takeru wears the [[Den City High School]] boys' uniform with a lavender-lined collar and pink tie, but more neatly than the disheveled [[Yusaku Fujiki]]; his shirt is tucked in, his coat is closed, and he wears more formal brown shoes.

As Soulburner in [[LINK VRAINS]], he removes his spectacles and his eyes turn gold. His hair becomes slightly longer and his central bangs reverse direction and become more angular. The upper layer of his hair becomes turquoise, while the bottom layer and his eyebrows both become blue and more prominent. His bangs become red; the framing bangs are shot through with orange, while the central bang turns orange. Soulburner wears a grey jumpsuit patterned with orange flames licking the limbs, red rib sections, and a yellow arrowhead shape running down his chest with a triangular aquamarine gem in the center. He has red shoulder-pads, greaves, and a gauntlet on his left hand and an elbow-guard on his right arm, which is bare to the wrist. Soulburner wears gloves with a similar basic design; the one on his right hand is a fingerless red glove with orange knuckles and a square-shaped section missing from the back of the hand, and the one on his left is black, with red knuckles and a red patch on the back of his hand. He also wears red boots with grey, orange-lined tongues and orange soles. Soulburner wears an unusual scarf around his neck that appears to "flicker"; small sections either hover separately as if they were attached or are constantly emitted.

{{Incomplete}}

Upon making contact with the girls, Blue Girl presented herself as actually being Blue Angel. Soulburner was happy to meet another savior of the old Link VRAINS, but Blue Girl stated they were actually seeking to retrieve the Ignis. While both Playmaker and Ghost Gal were willing to solve the situation without Dueling, Soulburner accepted Blue Girl's challenge.<ref name="ep55">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|55|ref}}</ref> Knowing of Blue Girl's [[Trickstar]] Deck and its burn tactics, Soulburner attempted to take the first turn by challenging Blue Girl to a small race, but was overwhelmed by the terrain and lost. From the very beginning of the Duel, Blue Girl was planning ahead to counter his strategies of swarming the field with "Salamangreat" monsters, and his Skill. Soulburner was pushed into a corner by all accumulated burn damage caused by "[[Trickstar Divaridis (anime)|Trickstar Divaridis]]" and "[[Trickstar Lycoris (anime)|Trickstar Lycoris]]", and even "Salamangreat Heatleo" was unable to destroy them due to Blue Girl using "[[Trickstar Calobane (anime)|Trickstar Calobane]]". Despite making no progress, Flame still assured they had an advantage, since Soulburner had Flame himself by his side. After nearly being defeated by Blue Girl's [[Fusion Monster]], "[[Trickstar Band Sweet Guitar (anime)|Trickstar Band Sweet Guitar]]", Soulburner listened to Flame's advice and used his Skill, managing to draw "[[Fusion of Fire (anime)|Fusion of Fire]]". By using it, he fused "Heatleo" and Blue Girl's "Divaridis" into "[[Salamangreat Violet Chimera (anime)|Salamangreat Violet Chimera]]". In the final attack, Blue Girl attempted to reduce the damage by using "Calobane" again, but this was predicted and countered by Soulburner, who used the effect of "Violet Chimera" to double its ATK, and drop her LP to 0 in a single attack. After the Duel, he approached the fallen Blue Girl to compliment her for becoming much stronger, before forcing her log out. Ghost Gal then returned, amazed by the Duel's outcome and aware she wouldn't be able to go any further without her partner. Flame then gave her a copy of Blue Girl's evacuation program, allowing Ghost Gal to log out safely.<ref name="ep56">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS|56|ref}}</ref>
