Changes

That weekend, Yuga, Gavin and Luke head to the Big Seven Arena, an old building plastered with three large RoaRomin posters. Luke takes note of the building's age as they venture in, and Yuga agrees that it's disused. Gavin (Yuga in the dub) explains that the building has been neglected for forty years, but then Luke suddenly flinches and turns around. Gavin asks him what's wrong, and Luke replies that it's nothing, but he felt like someone was behind him. They get to Romin's dressing room, and she notes that they came after all. Gavin asks where the other members are, and Romin explains that they're setting their instruments up on stage. Yuga admits that he brought Romin a present, much to Romin and Luke's surprise, and Kaizo flies over his head calling "Surprise!" in English, dropping a large case into Yuga's hands. Luke frantically asks when Yuga prepared that as Yuga walks up to Romin and gives it to her, and she opens the case to find the guitar Yuga had used for his noise-cancelling Road. Romin seemed to like it, so Yuga combined the guitar with a [[Duel Disk]] to make it into a [[Duel Guitar]]. Romin is quite surprised as the guitar's Dueling sections unfold on the body and she tests it out. Yuga blushes, stating that he hopes she can enjoy Rush Dueling and music together, and Romin shyly thanks him. Gavin walks up with a bunch of flowers, explaining they're from him, and Luke is mortified at having not prepared any gift himself. Romin reassures him it's all right, but Luke rushes off, asking them to wait a minute.

Once he gets out into the corridor however, he rushes down the wrong corridor and can't find the exit. As he stares into the darkened room where he thought he felt someone before, a long-haired boy lets out a slight laugh behind him, and he swings around, but only sees the boy's bathroom sign and the flickering light. Luke stammers that this place is too creepy, even if it was built forty years ago, as the long-haired boy pops up behind him chuckling. Luke howls in fear and swings around to face the boy, who tells him that there is a legend about the Big Seven Arena, and Luke tells him not to surprise him and asks who he is. The boy yells "Omaeno Ushiro!" (Japanese for "behind you!") and Luke swings around with a cry of fear, only to find nothing. The boy tells Luke that fifty-three years ago a gifted guitarist died here, and their ghost still haunts the Hall(in the dub, the boy also introduces himself as Toombs). Luke protests that the building was only built forty years ago, and the boy states that's the scary part, freaking Luke out again. He claims that whenever the ghost finds a guitarist that interests them they carry them to the otherworld, and indeed many guitarists have gone missing. Then the light goes out, and Luke screams in terror, alerting Yuga, Gavin, Romin and Kaizo. Yuga and Gavin rush out to find him with the lights on their Duel Disks and Kaizo in tow, and find Luke sitting on the floor. They ask what happened to him, and Luke points behind him, but there's no-one there. Luke protests that someone told him about the ghost of a guitarist and he urgently asks where Romin is. Yuga explains she stayed in the locker room, and Luke muses that Romin is in danger if the ghost likes her. They quickly return to the locker room, but Romin is gone. Kaizo and Luke are both concerned, but Gavin suggests she may have just gone to the bathroom(in the dub, Gavin thinks Romin went to the stage). Yuga points out they would have seen her if she did, and Gavin wonders where she went. A bell then rings, signifying the start of the concert.

In the darkened concert stage, [[Mimi Imimi|Mimi]] is eagerly waiting with the other attendees; finally she can hear Roa sing live(in the dub, Mimi says that she scored tickets to see Roa on stage). But she's most displeased to see Yuga and his friends heading into the VIP section, though she quickly shakes it off and squeezes through the crowd to join Yuga and the others, asking if they came to see the excitement as well. Yuga confirms they did, and Mimi reintroduces herself, explaining that she's a big fan of RoaRomin. Kaizo flies over, protesting that Mimi is in its spot, but Mimi just points out that the concert is starting.

A spotlight snaps on Roa, with the bassist and drummer behind them, and as the girls all cheer, Gavin peers behind Roa and notes that Romin isn't on stage, promting Luke to wonder if the ghost got to her. Roa apologizes for keeping his princesses waiting, sparking cheers from all the girls in the crowd (Mimi included, prompting Yuga to cover his ears) and he reassures them that he has a treat for them today, asking them if they're ready for the embrace of his voice shooting off a heart from a finger gun and driving the girls wild(in the dub, Roa says he can feel the love because there's a lot of love in the concert). But before that, he declares "Special guest, come on!" in English, and a spotlight snaps on Yuga, much to his surprise. Roa asks Yuga if he'll Rush Duel him at this concert. Yuga is quite hesitant, and Roa explains that this will allow the world to know he is a King. And the stakes will be Rush Dueling itself; if he wins, the rights to Rush Dueling will become his, and they will become "Roa Rush Duels", while he will become the [[King of Games (title)|King of Duels]]. His audience all seem appreciative of this prospect, though Mimi is hesitant. Gavin tries to tell Roa to wait a minute, though Yuga reassures him that it's fine, as he's not interesting in owning Rush Dueling and this could be good for its publicity. Roa comments that he thought Yuga would accept, and suggests they start the Duel that stakes the title of King.

He brings Yuga, Luke and Gavin on stage under a spotlight with his "Roa Rush Duel" logo on the screen behind them, asking his audience to give these brave Duelists a round of applause. Gavin asks why they are there as well, and Roa claims that a single match would be boring, so the Duel will be a three vs. three team battle. The girls all cheer, except for Mimi, who notes that RoaRomin's popularity will skyrocket if he wins, and getting concert tickets will get more difficult as a result. Yuga notes that in a three vs. three battle whoever wins twice will win, and Luke eagerly volunteers to go first. Roa then snaps a spotlight on Luke's opponent - the long-haired boy he met in the corridor, who cries that his name is Toombs (though Luke thinks he's telling him to look behind him again). Luke declares that Toombs is the mysterious person from earlier, and Roa explains that he's the bassist of RoaRomin. Mimi looks him up in the band's guide, and Kaizo realizes that this is Toombs's name. Toombs walks forwards with a creepy giggle, claiming that the ghost of the guitarist still curses this place. Luke asks who he is, but Toombs just shouts his name again and Luke once again misinterprets it, looking behind him in fear. Luke readies his Duel Disk, growling that Toombs is just scaring him. Toombs readies his own, suggesting that now is the time to feel fear. They insert their Deck cases into their Duel Disks and deploy the blades, and the green holographic dome encloses them as they call "It's time to Rush Duel!"
