Yuran Goha (ゴーハ・ユウラン Gōha Yuuran) is a character in the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime. He is described as the most mysterious and reserved member of the Goha Six and is attended to by Mrs. Drone.

Design[edit]

Appearance[edit]

Full-body view of Yuran in his normal attire and his kendo gear.

Yuran is a fair-skinned boy with green eyes and blue hair in a wavy bob. 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 Goha Enterprises; Yuran's clothes have a brown trim that covers his chest and torso in a triangular shape, his tiara is composed of silver points and a gold "V" shape with an orange circle at the center, his mask has small black triangles marked on it, and his badge is the bottom left section of the Goha logo. Unlike his other siblings who lost their ranks, Yuran retains these clothes due to having not been Dueling at the time.

While practicing kendo, Yuran wears traditional martial arts clothes; a white keiko-gi that he pins his badge to over his heart and a dark blue hakama. He leaves his feet bare and also carries a wooden kendo training sword. His eyes become sharper when he becomes more focused.

As Goha Alien Number Four, Yurann wears a grey starfish-shaped costume with a stereotypical white alien mask with large lenses for him to see through, and a brown letter "4" on his back.

Personality[edit]

Yuran appears to be the most mysterious and reserved member of the Goha Six. He maintains a calm, stoic and serious demeanor and rarely speaks, generally only answering to Mrs. Drone. In reality Yuran is constantly analyzing information about people from the way they speak and think, and reveals a stern and ruthless side when he is ready to counterattack. Once he is prepared to counterattack, Yuran takes over from Mrs. Drone and speaks for himself in a more confident fashion.

Though he does not often express so outwardly, Yuran cares for his siblings and warmly greets Yuro when he returns to Star Six despite him having been stripped of his position as Goha President. Yuran demonstrates the most pragmatic side of his siblings save Yuo; he struck down everyone at the kendo tournament simply because they would have impeded his efforts to Duel and willingly conspired with his deposed siblings to overthrow Yuo despite knowing it was treason, also suggesting the possibility of allying with Yuga Ohdo and his friends.

Biography[edit]

Team Battle Royal[edit]

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

Goha 6 Siblings[edit]

When they arrived back at Earth, Yuran 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. After they activated the armaments, Goha Space Elementary was struck by space debris, forcing the Goha Six to return to Earth.[4]

Yuran 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. Yuro was defeated by Yuga, and Yuo called a presidential meeting and suggested Yuro step down; Yuro accepted responsibility for his loss and resigned, enrolling at Goha #7 Elementary.[4][5]

The following day Yujin was training on a treadmill, determined to avenge his brother's loss, while Mrs. Drone urged Yuran to eat, telling him that breakfast was the most important meal of the deal. Yujin ended up running so fast he destroyed the treadmill and ran out of Star Six. The next day Yujin went to Goha #7 Elementary to Rush Duel Yuga, calling himself a man of the sea, a reaction that elicited a facepalm of embarrassment from Yuran. As Yuga couldn't swim in the artificial sea Nail Saionji had provided for Yujin, Yujin instead Rush Dueled Luke and was defeated. After Yujin resigned, the Mrs. Drone asked if Yuran would Duel next, but Yuka volunteered to Duel instead.[5] Yuran, the Mrs. Drone and Yuo watched Yuka's Rush Duel with Romin Kassidy from Star Six, surprised that the Rush Duel Club had been at the tryouts, and Yuo explained to them that Yuka had bought the Goha Monsters because she believed every president should own a baseball team. Yuka was able to defeat Romin, and the Mrs. Drone celebrated their team finally getting a point as Yuran quietly agreed.[6]

Yuran decided to Duel the Rush Duel Club next. Aware that Gavin Sogetsu was substituting for his school's Kendo Club that weekend, Yuran went to the Goha Martial Arts Stadium to wait for the Rush Duel Club. When he arrived he challenged all the tournament participants to a kendo match and struck them all down in an instant, then had their beaten bodies left outside. Gavin, Rayne and Rino, Yuga, Luke, Romin, Kaizo, Shinken Tsurugi and Kotetsuki Mendo arrived to find only Yuran and the Mrs. Drone there. The Mrs. Drone brushed Kaizo aside after he tried to ask Yuran what was happening and proudly declared they would all bear witness to Yuran, necessitating Yuran to tell her off for being too loud. With the challenge of a Kendo Rush Duel announced, Gavin stepped up to accept Yuran's challenge, claiming that only his Sogetsu Style could match Yuran in such a Duel, and he had Rino square off against the Mrs. Drone for the kendo segment of the Duel, with Nail refereeing. For most of the Duel Yuran played passively, making his moves at the suggestion of the Mrs. Drone while analyzing how Gavin spoke and acted. During the Duel Swirls arrived with Ryu Nito, one of the kendo players Yuran had cut down, much to Yuran's irritation, and he decided that he had finished obtaining his information and took over the Duel completely to prepare his counterattack. As Gavin had inflicted severe damage to Yuran with "Kimeruler the Dark Raider", Yuran countered by destroying "Kimeruler" and Tribute Setting "Millennium Shield" with the intention of baiting Gavin into switching it into Attack Position, allowing Yuran to counterattack with "Sword & Shield". Gavin brought out "Kimeluna the Dark Shifter" on his next turn and claimed he'd seen through Yuran's strategy, briefly throwing Yuran off, but Gavin instead prevented Yuran from using Traps on his LP and from destroying his monsters, allowing Yuran to successfully spring his counterattack after Gavin used the effect of "Kimeluna" to change "Millennium Shield" into Attack Position and defeat Gavin decisively, giving the Goha Six two points. Yuran left after the Duel, mildly accepting the Mrs. Drone's congratulations.[7]

Yuran, Yuka, Yuo and Mrs. Drone watched footage of Yuran's Duel, Yuo admitting he was surprised Yuran had won. Yuka accused Yuo of being disappointed they'd won and left with Yuran and Mrs. Drone.[8] After Yuo defeated Yuga with his new "Fusion" Spell Card, he gloated over his victory at breakfast the following day and his claim that he was at the top of Goha Enterprises alerted Yuran to Yuo's true motives; he was using the Duels with Yuga and his friends to get rid of his siblings and seize power for himself as the sole Goha President. The ship was then struck by Yuga's Road as Yuro returned to the ship, and while Yuo went to intercept Yuga, Luke, Romin and Gavin, Yuran and Mrs. Drone found Yuro. Yuran deduced Yuro was trying to determine the goals of both Yuo and Yuga and reassured him he was still their elder brother, informing Yuro that Yuo's "Fusion" card had been in the debris that struck Goha Space Elementary. After Yuro helped Yuga and his friends escape Star Six, Yuka returned and Yuran noticed her sampling Romin's Prima Guitarna Curry.[9]

Yuran and Mrs. Drone informed Yuka of Yuo's plan, though the Goha Six still continued their challenge against Yuga and his friends and Yuka Dueled again, this time Dueling Romin's cousin Roa Kassidy. During the Duel Yuka injured her shoulder due to having been pitching so often in Earth's gravity, and she yelled to Yuo that the Goha Six were the six of them together, vowing to win the match. Yuran himself remained quiet during the Duel, and Yuka eventually lost, being stripped of her position and leaving Yuran the last remaining president alongside Yuo.[10]

Realizing the danger Yuo posed, Yuran called a meeting with his other siblings at Goha #7 Elementary. He suggested allying with Yuga rather than continuing to Duel him, but Yuro and Yujin both refused, believing Yuo to be their problem to solve. Yuka warned Yuran he would be Dueling next and that Yuo would expect him to be defeated, so Yuran suggested they find their sixth sibling's badge. Yuran's plan worked; as he made himself absent for the Duel that day, Yuo was forced to Duel instead, and he was defeated by Luke, wearing a draconian helmet and calling himself "The Lukeman" who also used "Fusion". After Yuo retreated to Star Six, Yuran confronted him and stripped him of his badge for losing, reminding him he wouldn't have been able to claim power without the sixth sibling's badge. He attempted to reinstate Yuro, Yuka and Yujin, but to his utter shock Yuo revealed he had the sixth Goha Six's badge, retaining the right to be Goha President, and he took Yuran's badge for conspiring with former presidents, revealing he'd hacked Mrs. Drone to spy on them before dropping Yuran down a trapdoor.[11]

Yuran was still imprisoned when a feed activated, showing Yuo and Luke, the latter of whom claimed to be the sixth of the Goha Six.[12] Yuran was freed after Luke defeated Roa in a Rush Duel and he reconvened with Yuro, Yujin, and Yuka at Yuga's Road Laboratory, where Yuga had repaired Mrs. Drone. They asked for Yuga's help in stopping Yuo, Yuran gently telling Yuka to calm down after Romin insinuated they were being entitled in asking for help solving a problem they'd enabled. Fortunately the Rush Duel Club agreed they at least needed to stop Luke, whose sister Tiadosia "Tiger" Kallister confirmed wasn't a Goha.[13]

Yuga came to Yuran 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 Yuran, 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. Yuran explained the nature of The Lukeman and had Propietress provide costumes for everyone else after Yuga took on the costume of The Yugaman.[14] Yuran donned the guise of Goha Alien Number Four and joined his siblings in holding "The Rockin' 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. The Lukeman's real plan had been to return "Fusion" to his Deck and draw it again, and he 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. Yuran and his siblings realized it had been one of the satellites containing "Fusion" and were proven correct when Yuga drew it. Yuo protested that this was against the rules, but Yuran clarified the rules allowed the Duel to continue if a card had been unintentionally added to a Duelist's Deck. Yuga Fusion Summoned "Sevens Paladin", which could gain ATK for monsters in both Graveyards, and he successfully sent the monster he needed to the Graveyard to activate the effect, defeating The Lukeman.[15]

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 the Prima Guitarna Curry 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 Yuran and his other siblings, while Yuga joined Goha Enterprises as they had initially asked him to if he lost six times.[15]

Goha Employee[edit]

The following day was Yuo's birthday, so Yuran 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 Yuran and his siblings began putting on the play. Yuo almost left until Yuran 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.[16]

Afterwards, Yuran, Yuro, Yujin and Yuka returned to Goha Space Elementary in Star Six with Mrs. Drone, 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 and Yuran commented that Yuga would say that made it interesting.[17] Yuran, Yuro, Yujin, and Yuka 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.[18] Yuran, Mrs. Drone, Yuro, Yujin and Yuka later learned that Yuga was apparently their sixth sibling.[19]

Deck[edit]

Yuran uses an EARTH Warrior Deck themed around Kendo. It uses Normal Monsters with high DEF values, and his strategy is based around using defensive tactics to counter and turn an opponent's offense against them and inflict effect damage.
