Miranda Ichimaru (一（いち）丸（まる） ミランダ Ichimaru Miranda) is a character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! anime. She is the only camera operator of Mutsuba Cable TV.

Design

Appearance

Miranda closely resembles Cub from Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS. She is a slim woman with neck-length black hair that curls up at the sides and thick ovular glasses, and wears a red beret with a darker red pattern on one side, a green jacket, blue jeans, and a blue and white-striped shirt with her identification badge.

Personality

In comparison to both Cub and her boss, Miranda is considerably more mature and mindful of the schedules of their work, though she dutifully follows her bosses' decisions to roll with the twists they find themselves experiencing.

Biography

First Arc

Child actress Manya Atachi was contracted to appear at Mutsuba Cable TV on Learning the Fun Way - Ultimate Go Rush for a series of Rush Duels against a local elementary school; as they owed UTS a favor, Makeru Kurimoto agreed to allow UTS' elementary school-age employees to represent Mutsuba Town. Manya announced her intention to Duel first instead of last, so Yuamu Ohdo, a childhood friend of Manya's, also moved forward to Duel. Yuamu defeated Manya, something Miranda pointed out was contrary to plans, though Makeru decided to roll with the result, presenting it as a special surprise for the audience.

After filming a commercial for Zubaochil Neo with Yudias, the second round went off-script again, with Manya's dog Bochi Dueling instead of London Kirishima against Manabu Sogestu from the audience. To Miranda's shock Bochi transformed into a humanoid form, which Manya spun as special effects giving life to Bochi's desire to see Manabu again for vengeance, and Makeru decided to go along with the explanation. After Manabu's victory however, Bochi revealed he had already forgiven Manabu and wanted to see how strong he'd grown.

Although the local team had won with Manabu's victory, Yuhi still wanted to Duel and dismissed Manabu as not part of the team, so the third round continued. However, Chupataro Kaburagi broke down the wall and demanded to Rush Duel in the third round. Miranda and Makeru were unprepared for the intrusion and continued to insist to the audience this was just TV (while helping themselves to Manya's sushi Chupataro had delivered). Yudias accepted Chupataro's challenge, and Miranda and Makeru were intrigued by his Galaxy Type monsters. To Miraanda's shock, a glowing substance emerged from Chupataro's Duel Disk when he Summoned "Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-chan" and entered the monster's hologram, bringing her to life. Meeeg-chan uppercutted Chupataro, an action Makeru asked Miranda to capture, before taking over the Duel against Yudias, attacking him with real attacks that badly damaged the studio. Yudias eventually defeated Meeeg-chan, causing her to vanish, leaving Makeru screaming that this was TV as he beheld the ruined studio.

A massive monster appeared during a Rush Duel atop Mutsuba Tower between Yudias and another Duelist standing atop the monster, appearing to physically attack the tower as Meeeg-chan had, a shot captured by Miranda. Miranda and Makeru changed their schedule to cover the Duel, but during it Manya arrived and suggested the event to be the result of TV special effects, claims Makeru quickly agreed with. To Miranda's shock, the same substance that had brought Meeeg-chan to life was spread across Mutsuba Town by Mutsuba Tower, causing monster holograms to materialize, while Yudias' opponent also entered the second monster he'd summoned. Asaka Mutsuba arrived during the Rush Duel with her Heavy Cavalry, carving away part of the tower and stopping the phenomenon, and Yudias was able to defeat his opponent.

Second Arc

Mutsuba Cable and Manya assisted MIK in covering-up the Rush Duel between Yudias and Zuwijo zir Velgear. To Miranda's shock, their broadcast was briefly interrupted by a protestor claiming the destruction hadn't been planned for TV before MIK agents took him away, though they were able to complete their broadcast.
