Yujin Goha (ゴーハ・ユウジーン Gōha Yuujīn) is a character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime. He describes himself as a "Maritime Duelist" and he is the second-eldest of the Goha Six, and the second to challenge Yuga and his friends.

Design[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Yujin is a tall tan-skinned boy with blue eyes and auburn hair swept back in a style resembling Jaden Yuki's. Like all of the Goha Six, he conceals his mouth and nose behind a grey facemask, wears a unique tiara, and wears dark grey clothing with a colored trim on his cuffs, undershirt and torso, a charcoal cape with a high collar, white gloves, and his individual badge between his collar, which makes up a sixth of the logo of the Goha Enterprises; Yujin's clothes have a blue trim that covers his chest, his tiara is composed of a simple band with a yellow "V" shape and twin silver fins with a blue diamond in the middle, and his badge is the top left section of the Goha logo.

While he is at the beach, he dons a red collared shirt with white wave patterns across the torso and a baby blue print of a dolphin tail on the pocket, navy blue swimming trunks, and white sandals. He retains his mask and his badge, but clips his badge to his left shirt sleeve. During his Rush Duel with Luke, he removes his shirt, showing himself to be fairly well built. He also takes off his sandals, leaving his feet bare. He continues wearing these clothes after losing to Luke, only returning to his usual outfit after being reinstated as president.

Two years after the events of the series, Yujin has discarded his mask and continues to lack his tiara after giving it to Yuga Ohdo. Already the tallest and strongest of his siblings, Yujin has become substantially taller and muscular, continuing to wear his presidential clothes.

As Goha Alien Number Two, Yujin wears a grey starfish-shaped costume with a stereotypical white alien mask with large lenses for him to see through, and a blue letter "2" on his back.

Personality[edit]

Yujin is an extremely passionate person, driven to avenge the loss and demotion of his brother Yuro and accepting demotion in the event of his loss. Following his chance encounter with Finn, he gains a dedication and appreciation of the sea that his siblings had not noticed before, though he hints at having always loved the sea. He subsequently describes himself as a man of the sea. Yujin is generally unfazed by most situations, taking being flung into the ocean and his loss with a stride, and though the actual moment where he failed to draw the card he needed still shocked him, he simply comes to the conclusion that he needs more training.

Voice/Mannerisms[edit]

Following meeting Skipjack, Yujin picks up his verbal tic of adding "tuna" to the end of sentences.

Biography[edit]

Team Battle Royal[edit]

After the Goha Rush Duel Team Battle Royal, Yujin and his siblings returned to Earth.[3]

Goha 6 Siblings[edit]

When they arrived back at Earth, Yujin and his siblings learned of Rush Dueling, a Dueling format that had been installed in defiance of Goha Enterprises and whose program was contained within the Super Rush Robot on the moon. Yuo came up with a plan to destroy the robot by affixing Forcersizers to it that would force it to continuously move, but in the interests of fairness the Goha Six would challenge the format's creator, Yuga Ohdo, and his friends to Rush Duels to give them a chance to deactivate the armaments. Goha Space Elementary was then struck by space debris, forcing the Goha Six to return to Earth in Star Six.[4]

Yujin and his siblings returned to Goha City, introducing themselves to the citizens and ousting current presidential substitute Mimi Imimi. They challenged Yuga and his friends, warning Yuga that he would become a Goha employee if he lost and Yuro Dueled first, challenging Yuga to a Turbo Rush Duel. To Yujin and Yuka's shock, Yuro was defeated by Yuga, and Yuo called a presidential meeting and suggested Yuro step down. Yuro accepted responsibility for his loss and resigned, inspiring Yujin to avenge his brother.[4][5]

The following day Yujin trained on the treadmill during breakfast, vowing to avenge Yuro's loss, but ran so fast he destroyed the treadmill and ran out of Star Six and into Goha Harbor. That night Yujin was still lying in the water, experiencing a sea on Earth for the first time, and he met a dolphin named Finn. He swam with the dolphin all night, developing a love for the sea. Afterwards Finn gave Yujin a box containing a Deck of Duel Monsters cards that it referred to as a treasure of the sea, and Yujin decided to use them in his Duel against Yuga. He went to Goha #7 Elementary the next morning singing a song about his love for the sea and had Nail Saionji and Seatbastian create an artificial sea at Goha 7th for him to Duel on. As Yuga couldn't swim, Luke, who introduced himself to Yujin as the King of Duels, accepted Yujin's challenge instead. As Yujin brought out his new Sea Serpent monsters in his "Umi" Field Spell, Yuro, who had transferred to Goha 7th, arrived to watch the Rush Duel and commented on Yujin's new Deck. Though angered that his brother was forced to attend another school, Yujin nevertheless passionately told everyone present about his encounter with Finn. Luke quickly brought out "Multistrike Dragon Dragias" and "Sylphidra" and destroyed Yujin's monsters, though Yujin saved himself from a direct attack with "Seastorm of Iruqua" and returned "Dolphin King Iruqua" to his field. He brought out "Levia-Dragon - Daedalus" on his next turn and used its effect to destroy all other cards on the field, depleting most of Luke's LP, but on his next turn Luke Summoned "Steel Strike Dragon Metagias" and weakened "Daedalus" enough to defeat Yujin. Yujin made a desperate gamble with "Dolphin Counterattack", but drew "Stream" instead of "Umi", failing to defeat Luke and being thrown into the air. As he was, he accepted his loss and that he needed to train more, and resigned as president before landing in the sea.[5]

Later Yujin met Skipjack, and proceeded to fish alongside him.[6] Yujin was eventually called back to Goha City by Yuran for a secret presidential meeting between them, Yuro, and Yuka, who had been defeated by Roa Kassidy and forced to step down. Yujin learned their resignations had all been planned by Yuo as a way to gain sole control over Goha Enterprises and that the space debris that had struck Goha Space Elementary had contained a Spell Card, "Fusion", that Yuo had used to defeat Yuga. Yuran suggested allying with Yuga and the Rush Duel Club, but Yujin and Yuro both refused, believing Yuo to be their problem to deal with. Although Yuran suggested looking for their sixth sibling's presidential badge, Yuran decided to hide when the next Duel he was up for came around and force Yuo to Duel, planning for him to lose so Yujin, Yuro and Yuka could be reinstated. Their plan succeeded, as Yuo was defeated by Luke, wearing a draconian helmet and calling himself "The Lukeman", who also used "Fusion". After Yuo retreated back to Star Six, Yujin watched as Yuran stripped Yuo of his badge and tried to reinstate his siblings, but to Yujin's shock You revealed he'd found the sixth sibling's badge, retaining the right to be president and stripping Yuran of his badge for treason, as he had hacked Mrs. Drone to learn of Yuran's conspiration with Yujin, Yuro and Yuka, leaving Yuo the sole Goha President.[7]

Following Yuo's takeover, Yujin returned to Goha Aquatic Elementary with Skipjack. They witness Luke declaring himself the sixth of the Goha Six and his subsequent Duel and victory over Roa.[8] Afterwards, Yujin went with Yuro, Yuka, and a freed Yuran to Yuga's Road Laboratory and asked him to defeat Yuo, Yujin emphasizing it was also Goha City's problem. Fortunately the Rush Duel Club at least agreed to stop Luke, whose sister Tiger confirmed wasn't a Goha.[9]

Yuga came to Yujin and his siblings and explained that he believed The Lukeman, who had appeared again and been taken away by Yuo, to be an electronic lifeform created from Luke's The Lukeman that had created the "Fusion" cards from Program storage cards in the Goha satellites that Nail had destroyed as a child. As Yuga believed The Lukeman simply desired to fuse with Luke and fight evil as they had in the manga, he tasked Yujin, his siblings and Mimi with helping him achieve that goal by preparing costumes for a scenario where Yuga would pretend to be part of the Majin Empire from Luke's manga before revealing himself as an ally to The Lukeman, The Yugaman, and during which his friends could do so as well, while the Goha Six would play the part of the aggressors to continue a Rush Duel between Yuga and The Lukeman so the Super Rush Robot could still be saved. They did as he asked, arriving during the Rush Duel between "Yuga the Destructor" and The Lukeman to explain Yuga's plan to the Rush Duel Club and Heavy Cavalry Duel Club, and providing costumes for everyone else after Yuga took on the costume of The Yugaman.[10] Yujin donned the guise of Goha Alien Number Two and joined his siblings in holding "The☆Beauty Romin" hostage, warning The Lukeman not to abandon the Rush Duel. After Yuga destroyed The Lukeman's "Hyperstrike Dragon Dragiastar F" with "Ultimate Flag Mech Ace Breaker", The Lukeman returned three Spells from his Graveyard to his Deck and increased their LP, prompting Yuo to throw off his costume in a rage and ask if they were Dueling seriously. Yuro explained to Yuo that they were Dueling seriously and Yujin explained that The Lukeman had intended to return "Fusion" to his Deck and draw it again. The Lukeman Fusion Summoned "Full Moon Dragon Umbralancer F", reviving "Dragiastar F" and almost defeating Yuga. Yuga revived "Sevens Road Magician" on his next turn, but The Lukeman returned the monsters in Yuga's Graveyard to his Deck to prevent him using the effect of "Sevens Road", forcing Yuga to gamble with "1/Infinity", which would damage him enough to lose if he and The Lukeman didn't draw the same card. Unfortunately The Lukeman drew "Fusion" again, which Yuga didn't have, but then a meteor entered the atmosphere and plunged towards Yuga, and Yuga blocked it with his Duel Disk. Yujin and his siblings realized it had been one of the satellites containing "Fusion" and were proven correct when Yuga drew it, Fusion Summoning "Sevens Paladin", which could gain ATK for monsters in both Graveyards. Successfully sending the monster he needed to the Graveyard to activate the effect, Yuga defeated The Lukeman.[11]

Despite The Lukeman's loss, Yuo refused to accept the result and tried to destroy the Super Rush Robot with Star Six, but Yuga's modified Goha Enterprises Drone Kaizo returned to Earth as well and crashed into Star Six, detonating Prima Guitarna Curry that Romin had left on the ship and crashing it, forcing Yuo to release the Super Rush Robot. After The Lukeman released Luke and left for outer space, Mimi suggested Swirls could replace Yuo as he was the sixth of the Goha Six, but the sixth sibling's badge rejected him, so Yuga suggested Yuo remain president, but reinstate Yujin and his other siblings, while Yuga joined Goha Enterprises as they had initially asked him to if he lost six times.[11]

Goha Employee[edit]

The following day was Yuo's birthday, so Yujin and his siblings planned to throw a surprise party for him using the costumes they'd prepared for Yuga's Rush Duel with The Lukeman. As they still had to clean the Prima Guitarna Curry out of Star Six, they told Yuo they would handle the cleanup and ensured his schedule was free, while tasking Romin and Gavin with planting the idea of a surprise party in Yuo's head to make him open to the idea. When Gavin and Romin returned to Star Six, they swapped costumes so Gavin was the hostage in need of rescue and when Yuo returned Yujin and his siblings began putting on the play, Yujin joining Yuro in "torturing" Gavin. Yuo almost left until Yujin and his siblings confirmed this was a birthday surprise to him and wished him a happy birthday, and Yuo joined them in their play. Afterwards they had a birthday dinner for Yuo, Yujin remarking that they didn't often celebrate their birthdays.[12]

Afterwards, Yujin, Yuro, Yuka and Yuran returned to Goha Space Elementary in Star Six, allowing Yuo to remain at the Goha Enterprises Main Office to directly lead Goha Enterprises. As they left, Yujin noted there was no telling what would happen while they were gone with Yuga and his friends as employees under Yuo.[13] Yujin, Yuro, Yuka and Yuran kept in contact with Yuga, now working in the Duel Development Department, and suggested some ideas to him that he found interesting, Yuga claiming he had interesting ideas of his own.[14] Yujin, Yuro, Yuka and Yuran later learned that Yuga was apparently their sixth sibling.[15]

Deck[edit]

Yujin uses a WATER Sea Serpent Deck, focused on the Field Spell "Umi" and on the manipulation of his card advantage using the effect of his most powerful monster; "Levia-Dragon - Daedalus", which can leave his opponent defenseless by destroying all other cards on the field at the cost of sending "Umi" to the Graveyard. Yujin found the Deck in a treasure chest given to him by Finn shortly before his first Rush Duel.
