===Birth of Rush Duels===
Gavin heard [[Yuga Ohdo]] talking about receiving a penalty one day at school and he zoomed over to inquire as to why. After Yuga showed him his [[Duel-cycle]] and explained how it worked, Gavin was horrified to learn that Yuga had been penalized for opening his [[Duel Disk]] and proceeded to lecture him on them and he asked why Yuga even wanted to open the Disk. Yuga explained that he had been trying to install new rules, much to Gavin's horror. Yuga claimed that his [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Dueling]] would be something that could bring back everyone's smiles in such a strict Dueling world, but before he could explain any further, class started and Gavin told Yuga to explain it to him after class. However, Yuga did not come to the Student Council's office, and Gavin spotted Yuga leaving with [[Lucidien Kallister|Lucidien "Luke" Kallister]]. Gavin searched for them alone without [[Rayne Nanahoshi|Rayne]] and [[Rino Nanahoshi|Rino]]'s help, eventually spotting Yuga's Duel-cycle by a door leading to [[Hologram Man's chamber|a basement]] where he found Yuga and Luke installing Yuga's new rules. He was shocked to see the [[Otes|Hologram Man]] standing in the chamber and horrified when a [[Kaizo|Goha Enterprises Drone]] arrived and began counting down the timer before penalizing them all. After [[Romin Kassidy]] arrived, Luke deactivated the Drone and Yuga's Duel Disk began to run out of battery. Gavin swiftly retrieved Yuga's Duel-cycle and used it to power his Duel Disk, allowing Yuga to use Real-Time Duel Programming to install his Rush Duel rules. The Drone reactivated, with Luke unable to deactivate it again, and Gavin, Luke and Romin watched as Yuga Rush Dueled the Hologram Man. Gavin was amazed by the Duelists' ability to repeatedly Summon monsters and by the Hologram Man's use of the legendary "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (anime Rush Duel)|Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]". Yuga was reduced to 1000 [[LP]], and Gavin panicked when he saw that Yuga had no cards in his hand, believing that he wouldn't be able to make a comeback. Yuga revealed that players in Rush Duels drew until they had five cards in their hand, and he [[Tribute Summon]]ed his [[Signature card|ace monster]] "[[Sevens Road Magician (anime)|Sevens Road Magician]]", increasing it to 7000 [[ATK]] and defeating the Hologram Man. Gavin and Luke enthusiastically congratulated Yuga, and the Hologram Man told them that a new road had opened. To Gavin's shock, his Duel Disk then transformed into the model that Yuga had used for the Rush Duel as his rules were installed into it.<ref name="ep1" /> Gavin watched as Luke walked into the Hologram Man's dais, hidden by the hologram of the path (while he and Romin criticized Luke for his quick decision). Luke explained to them that the [[King of Games (title)|King of Duels]] dictated the rules of ''[[Duel Monsters]]'' and outlined an outlandish plan for him and Yuga to become Goha Corp employees and install Rush Dueling, much to Gavin and Romin's shock.<ref name="ep2" />
Yuga and Luke decided to Rush Duel the next day to settle their dispute over Rush Dueling, and Gavin warned them not to go over recess time. Luke used his power to deactivate everyone's phones to prevent the Duel from being recorded, claiming he could due so due to being possessed by a devil, though Yuga suggested it was due to the [[wikipedia:Pauli effect|Pauli effect]] and Gavin explained what it was with aid from Rayne and Rino. As the Rush Duel progressed, Gavin explained the rules to Yuga's friends, in addition to some basic rules of ''Duel Monsters'' to the inexperienced Romin. Although Yuga came close to winning the Duel with "Sevens Road Magician", Luke was able to hang on with 100 LP due to Yuga failing to assemble enough [[Attribute]]s in his [[Graveyard]] to power it up. Luke defeated Yuga with "[[Multistrike Dragon Dragias (anime)|Multistrike Dragon Dragias]]", but Yuga revealed that he'd modified the Drone that had detected them yesterday and hidden it behind Gavin to livestream the Duel, prompting Gavin to fret that his account could be deleted. As Gavin hurried everyone back to class, Yuga told Luke that he wanted everyone to enjoy Rush Duels, and Luke came to believe Yuga had let him win the Duel, though both Gavin and Romin privately agreed that Yuga had simply lost the Duel.<ref name="ep2"/>
Luke asked Gavin about Romin one day, as he believed she was working for Goha Corp. Gavin was skeptical, but agreed that Romin knew oddly specific facts about Dueling and agreed to have Yuga use one of his Roads to determine if she was hiding something, though Yuga's Road broke inconclusively. Yuga then invited Romin to his [[Road Laboratory]], something Gavin was flustered by. They were greeted by the modified Drone, which Gavin was initially nervous of until he realized that it was Yuga's. Yuga named the Drone Kaizo after it asked for Romin's autograph and showed them his Roads, though Gavin wound up worrying over Luke after he was trapped in a hairstyling Road. Yuga convinced Romin to Rush Duel him, and Luke tried to look in Romin's guitar case after seeing her reluctance to part with it; Gavin was forced to continuously stop Luke to preserve Romin's privacy. Gavin also explained how [[Level]]s and Tribute Summons worked to Romin during the Duel. Yuga quickly pushed Romin into a corner, but she made a comeback with a card she had added to the spare Deck Yuga had lent her; "[[Prima Guitarna the Shining Superstar (anime)|Prima Guitarna the Shining Superstar]]", amazing Gavin with its powerful effect. Romin explained that she had got the card at a concert and kept it in her guitar case as a good luck charm, reminding Luke of his mission. Gavin was too late to stop Luke opening the case, though it only contained Romin's guitar. Yuga tried to make a comeback, but initially had a dead hand until he gambled on returning "Sevens Road Magician" to his Deck and re-drawing it with "[[Recovery Force (anime)|Recovery Force]]", and he defeated Romin. Gavin told Romin that the effect of "Prima Guitarna" was quite strong and noted that Yuga hadn't needed to use the effect of "Sevens Road" to win, though Yuga claimed that an ace should fight an ace. Gavin then took Luke aside, noting that Romin didn't seem to be working for Goha Corp.<ref name="ep3" />

Gavin noticed that more Rush Dueling videos had been deleted, and he and Yuga determined that Goha Corp were likely responsible. When they arrived at school, they were interviewed about Rush Dueling by the [[Newspaper Club]]; Luke volunteered to be interviewed. Yuga was confident that Goha Corp wouldn't be able to censor an analog publication so easily, though Gavin was skeptical and Romin warned them that the Newspaper Club didn't have the best reputation. To Gavin's fury, the article the Newspaper published insulted Rush Dueling, so Gavin attempted to use the authority of the Student Council to have it changed, though [[Masa]] and [[Cub]] refused to be censored. Yuga threatened to leak the paper to Goha and have it shut down, so the chief of the Newspaper Club, [[Scoop Pitman]] offered to Duel to decide the article contents. Luke accepted the Duel, much to Gavin's trepidation, but he was eventually able to defeat Scoop despite being reduced to 100 LP. The Newspaper Club released a new article that praised Rush Dueling, but also released an article depicting Luke lording it over his friends, much to Gavin's displeasure.<ref name="ep5">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS|5|ref}}</ref>
The Newspaper printed an article stating the [[Ramen Hut]] was closing, so Gavin accompanied Yuga, Romin and Kaizo to the restaurant to investigate. They found [[Ramen Hut Owner|the owner]] despondent at the impending closure of the restaurant, begging them to order one final bowl of ramen from him. They instead went to [[GastroByte]] that was out-competing the Ramen Hut to see why it was more popular, but both Yuga and Gavin were refused entry; Yuga due to being considered a troublemaker, and Gavin due to being a chronic complainer, displeasing Gavin. Yuga sent Kaizo in to get information instead, but the information Kaizo provided sent the owner into shock. [[Saburamen]] then arrived, shocking Gavin with how upfront he was and ordering the last ramen, and agreeing to Duel Yuga for it. Gavin narrated both the Duel and the shopkeeper's process as he made the ramen, though this left him in range of hot water droplets when the shopkeeper drained the noodles. Yuga won the Duel, and he offered to split the last ramen among everyone, but Luke ate it before they could, much to Gavin's shock. Fortunately, the shopkeeper reassured them that the Rush Duel had inspired him to stay open, and his customer base subsequently improved. Gavin accompanied Yuga, Saburamen and the others to the Hologram Man's chamber so Saburamen could try to install Dueling rules of his own, but they found the Hologram Man's relic gone.<ref name="ep6">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!
