The Relic is a mysterious stone monument that appears in the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS and Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! animes. It projects Otes, the Hologram Man, and is inscribed with the legend of the King of Duels. In Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!, it appears with The Creator at the Go Rush Yu and is later used by MIK in the second season.

Overview[edit]

The Relic fully deployed.

The Relic is a throne-like object set on a circular dais. The crystal-shaped stone that forms the back of the "seat" glows blue when the Relic is active and projecting the image of Otes. When Otes Duels, the Relic rises even further out of the ground, revealing a column with the legend of the King of Duels inscribed on it;

"When the moon is full enough to be hardly recognizable, a Duelist will carve open a new path and guide the world as the King of Duels."

In Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS, the Relic is capable of travelling between locations and leaving symbols carved in the ground though currently unknown means. In Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!, the Relic is shown to be capable of flight and sealing Duelists defeated by Maximum Monsters into cards, trapping their consciousness in a "card world" that transforms them into cats, whose images are depicted on the cards. According to Yuga Ohdo, it does so by manipulating space. It also has a different legend inscribed on it;

"On the night of a large and hardly recognizable celestial body on Earth, a warrior shall carve open an unknown path with Rush Dueling and become a light for the universe."

Zuwijo zir Velgear also carved the Velgearian words "Zabeli du gilai Velgeardt" into the Relic at the behest of The Creator.

History[edit]

Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS[edit]

Otes first used the Relic to approached Goha Duel Overseer Nail Saionji and warn him that Dueling would soon evolve.[1] The Relic would then surface in an underground chamber in Goha City. It was discovered by Lucidien "Luke" Kallister and Roa Kassidy, both of whom desired to become the King of Duels, though Roa did not challenge Otes after seeing Luke do so. Luke failed to pass Otes' text six times and subsequently had his account banned, so Roa had his cousin Romin Kassidy whisper the legend of the King of Duels in his ear to turn him towards Yuga Ohdo. Luke brought Yuga to the chamber to install his Rush Dueling rules, and Yuga successfully used them to defeat Otes and install Rush Dueling.[2]

After Yuga defeated Otes and left the chamber, the Relic vanished from the chamber, leaving seven emblems behind that indicated the place where it would next appear, the Big Seven Arena.[3][4][5]

The Relic emerged in the Big Seven Arena on the next full moon, as had been deduced by Yuga, Roa, Professor Diggs, Trench, and Tracker and projected Otes, who approved Yuga and Roa's Duel over the title of King of Duels. After the Duel, Otes told Yuga to find the key to a door to another world and the Relic retreated underground, resisting the efforts of Goha Enterprises to take possession of it.[5]

Otes would later emerge on the Relic to answer the call of Gavin Sogetsu, Romin and Luke, challenging them all to Rush Duels in exchange for a hint in defeating Nail's Maximum Summon.[6]

After Otes was imprisoned when he visited Goha Stadium, he used the Relic to escape underground.[7] Otes later apparently attempted to uninstall Rush Dueling using the Relic, which was found by the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club under Goha Stadium projecting status screens on the uninstallation.[8][9] Galian Townsend destroyed the Relic with his Heavy Cavalry GG03, but this failed to stop the installation.[9]

Otes later either repaired or replaced the Relic, as he used it to emerge in his chamber after being confronted by Yuga and Swirls after the Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal.[10]

Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!![edit]

The Relic was located at the Go Rush Yu, the fountain of souls that all Velgearian souls are said to go. This is also where Velgearians slain in battle are resurrected, though Zuwijo zir Velgear was the first Velgearian known to experience this process and retain his memory. At the behest of The Creator, Zuwijo carved the words "Zabeli du gilai Velgeardt" into its surface and vowed to break free from the endless battle the Creator intended for the Velgearians.[11] Yudias Velgear would later experience a vision of the Creator and the Relic during a battle and made a blind warp, arriving at the Go Rush Yu and discovering the Relic and the messages written on it, leading him to seek out Rush Dueling on Earth.[12]

After vanishing due to the power of The☆Lugh, Zuwijo was revived in the Relic at the Go Rush Yu.[13]

Under Phaser Ryugu, MIK uses the Relic to seal Duelists defeated by Maximum Monsters into cards; Phaser himself defeats Yuga with "Abyssal Sea Dragon Abyss Kraken" and seals him in a card, though Ranran Nanahoshi was able to liberate the card before Phaser could claim it.[14] Manabu Sogetsu tried to spare Yuna Goha from this fate after defeating her with "Blazebolt Chemistorm Fenghuang Volcalize Phoenix", but the Relic appeared and sealed Yuna regardless.[15] Tremolo Ryugu's defeat of Yuhi Ohdo with "Shinesteel Ultra Dragon Devastar Okeabyss" also resulted in Yuhi's sealing, with Ranran escapoing with this card due to Damamu's protection.[16] When Asaka Mutsuba, Chupataro Kaburagi, Manya Atachi, Bochi, London Kirishima and Mitsuko Hiramori attempted to retake the Mutsuba Heavy Industries' card printing plant, they were all defeated by Energy Copyko's "Great Magical Sheep Girl Meeeg-chan MAX Wool"; after defeating Asaka last, Copyko alerted Phaser and the Relic was sent to her to seal her defeated opponents into cards.[17] Yuamu Ohdo would later challenge Phaser to a Rush Duel, and was defeated by "Abyssal Dragon Lord Abyss Poseidra", resulting in her sealing into a card by the Relic. Ranran once again battled MIK for the card, though fortunately Yudias and Galixon Tazaki were able to claim them, learning both that those sealed into cards became cats and that "That Guy" was named Yuga Ohdo.[18]
