Funny / Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS

Being the denser and wackiest installment in the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise so far, you can expect that SEVENS has a pretty good sense of humor.

Season 1

Birth of Rush Duel Arc

Episode 1: "Let's Go! Rush Duel!"

• Yuga's first action in the real world is to wake up from his dream and bang his head on his lamp.
• Pretty much everything Gakuto says due to his tendency to overreact to rule-breaking.
  • After Yuga gets directly attacked by Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the group begins to wonder if Yuga could lose only for Gakuto to argue that duels are a series of comebacks from both sides, meaning there's still a fighter's chance. And then he sees Yuga currently has no cards at hand...
• There's also the fact that the show practically turns comedic traits - being a Walking Techbane and racing over at the merest hint of rule-breaking - into superpowers.
• Luke's second attempt to use his Walking Techbane status to shut down the Drone, which results in him clinging to it upside down, since he's used his power too many times that day.

Episode 2: "The Man Who Possesses Evil"

• Yuga tells Luke to go ahead and take the path to being "King of Duels". Not only do Gakuto and Romin call Luke out on immediately accepting this, but it turns out the path is a hologram and Yuga knew it all along, so Luke walks right into a wall. Better, Luke is still walking into the wall until he hears Yuga tell him about the hologram.
  Luke: I will become a great King and put my name in the history books! (hits the wall) ...Huh? I thought the hard part was over...
• Luke's outlandish scheme to become Goha Corp employees...which Yuga doesn't pay the slightest bit of attention to, since he's busy tinkering with the Drone.
• Luke tells Yuga to keep "Rush Dueling" a secret. Cut to Yuga telling his friends at school the next day.
• During Yuga and Luke's duel, Yuga only summons one monster on his first turn. Gakuto initially reckons Yuga has some kind of plan, but Luke suggests that Yuga probably doesn't have any other monsters in his hand. Cut to Yuga sweating and Setting Luke cards.
• Luke explains the "secret" behind his strength with an overly dramatic exposition. Romin immediately points out that he simply became strong by training.
• After seeing Yuga's Xanatos Gambit to reveal "Rush Dueling", Luke believes that Yuga let him win to teach him a lesson on "Rush Dueling". Yuga lets him think this, but Romin and Gakuto note that he didn't.
• When the President of Goha Corp hears of the news, he simply laughs, giving the impression that he finds this amusing, setting the tone of the character. Then he gets called by a kid who phoned the company to talk about "Rush Duels", only for him to continue laughing much to her confusion.

Episode 3: "Romin's Secret"

• Luke 's wild imagination regarding Romin as a Goha spy, including a scenario where her guitar case contains spy gadgets, and another (drawn as if with crayons) where she claims Yuga's weakness is his dislike of capsicum. Gakuto promptly tells Yuga off for not liking capsicum since it's good for him. Even funnier is that Luke wasn't making that up; Yuga tests his lie detector by claiming to like it and sets it off.
• Yuga's lie detector turns out to work well, but it can't handle being asked a question, and promptly blows up when Romin does.
• In trying to find out Romin's Secret, Yuga offers for her to come over and see his workshop. Luke and Gakuto call him bold and treat it as if he had propositioned her.
• Yuga baits Romin into dueling him by claiming that she doesn't want to duel because she know's she'll lose. When Romin gets mad and agrees, Yuga quickly offers her a spare deck and duel disk, flabbergasting her.
• During Romin and Yuga's duel, Luke keeps trying to sneak to her suspicious guitar case while Gakuto keeps dragging him away because it violates her privacy.
• When Yuga's drone met Romin it became a fanboy and asks for her autograph. Then during their duel it keeps supporting her while insulting Yuga for going hard on her first duel. As soon as the duel ends, Yuga comes to it holding his tools and starts reprogramming it.

Episode 4: "Goodbye, Student Council President!"

• Gakuto and Luke take the cake for this episode. And Romin has lots of funny reactions.
• Gakuto sings the school anthem quite terribly. (The irony being that his voice actor is a great singer). It's even funnier because the school anthem is the Ending song....Which Gakuto's voice actor sings alongside the voices of Luke and Yuga!!
• Luke proposes dancing while "Rush Dueling", only to immediately admit that he can't dance.
• Romin. Her refusal to sing, combined with her reaction to the term "tone-deaf". This heavily indicates that despite being a great guitarist, she is a terrible singer, despite denying it when asked by Yuga. (Which is ironic yet again because her voice actress is also a great singer.)
• Romin is doubtful that the "Rush Duel" promotion video will work, only to spit out her juice after seeing the multitude of likes provided by Kaizo.
• Yuga's group visits Gakuto's office to discuss changing the school rules and promote "Rush Duels". But he's taking his job seriously and takes a minute to explain his fortune telling from drawing Yameruler. Meanwhile Luke and Yuga took his lunch and are eating it.
• Luke fantasises about becoming Student Council President and continues to do so, even when Yuga and Romin leave the room.
• Gakuto makes lame puns with Yameruler's name, highlighted by Romin.
• As per their bet, Gakuto steps down as Student Council President, much to the sadness of his followers....only to be immediately reelected the next day, defeating Luke, who is seen being comforted by Yuga.

Episode 5: "Luke, a Manly Battle"

• Kaizo has developed another personality quirk and now likes girls with glasses, freaking out Nico from the School Newspaper. He then asks Romin if she will try wearing glasses, at which point Yuga takes him away. At the end of the duel, it is shown that Yuga tied him up so he couldn't move.
• Yuga's manipulative side comes up when they are dealing with the Newspaper club and he threatens to upload the unflattering article so it will come to Goha's attention.

Episode 6: "I Beg Your Noodle! Ramen Duel"

• At the start of the episode, Luke gains the attention of Yuga by showing him that he's going to be on the newspaper article as promised last episode. Instead of caring about the "Rush Duels" that he created, however, Yuga instead focuses on the fact that his favorite ramen restaurant, the Tahayasty Restaurant, is going under, and is quickly agreed upon by the others that it is the more serious matter at hand.
  • Luke goes on one of his spews over the title of article, with the other three walking away without him noticing.
• Yuga's personal Roads for bringing forth business to the restaurant take its tolls on the group and he is forced to stop as the plans begin to escalate in absurdity.
• Gakuto takes up the Combat Commentator role in both the duel and the cooking process with a mic that suddenly appears in hand.
• The time limit for the duel is how long it is before the ramen is done cooking, with the owner constantly going nuts during the duel.
• During the later half of the duel after the noodles and broth are finished, both Gakuto and Romin begin to use dueling terms to describe the cooking process.
• After being absent for the entire episode except for the Cold Opening, Luke appears without warning and eats what was to be the last ramen without any regrets.

Episode 7: "The Transfer Student is an Elementary Schooler?"

• A running gag in the Episode is that when Mimi is caught being suspicious or in a spy frame of mind, two girls think they should get a teacher.
• Among all of Yuga's inventions, he considers Kaizo to be a failure. He says it all in a pleasant and casual tone of voice.
• When Mimi is revealed to have been trying to steal Yuga's notebook, the gang returns the gifts she gave them, including Luke...despite him having already eaten the all the high quality sweets that made up his gift.
• At the end of the episode after Mimi has brought back Yuga's notebook to Goha Corp, his notes turn out to be nonsensical drawings involving the giant duel robot. The Goha scientists take it seriously and take it to be analyzed, while Mimi is just embarrassed at what she brought back.

Episode 8: "Post-Apocalypse and Neapolitan Spaghetti"

• Kaizo has some funny background events. It didn't do anything to help the boys during the hot day, but as the duel starts Kaizo is happily fanning Romin. After Luke finds it too hot to duel, it's now fanning him with an angry frown. By the end of the duel it's visibly exhausted and could barely hold the fans.
• After Yoshio dramatically reveals that he wants Luke to convince his "mama" to let him "Rush Duel" (leaving out the "Rush Duel" part), all poor Luke can stammer is "Mama?"

Episode 9: "Wonderful Jurassic"

• Yuga's friends work with a Dino Duel Research Club to find a rumored dinosaur in the city. They first visit a shopping district and Luke is given some durian to eat. Then they visit an old granny and Luke gets some manju to eat. Then they visit a dog and it gives Luke its bone, which Romin throws away as he tries to eat it, which upsets him.
• The thoroughly bizarre way Luke finds out the Dino Club's plans. Having rushed off to the toilet due to everything he's eaten that day, he's relieving himself in the stall while the Dino Club come in to discuss their plans. It's something very unexpected for Yu-Gi-Oh!.
• When Kan and his friends reveal that Gossie was spotted in a construction site, Yuga immediately realizes that "Gossie" was just his noise-cancelling Road acting out and rather adorably tries to dissuade everyone from pursuing the subject further, only to fail in the face of the club and Luke's enthusiasm.

Episode 10: "A Terrifying Ghost Story Duel"

• When Roa challenges Yuga and Co to a 3v3 Match for the "Rush Duel" rights, Mimi - who is a RoaRomin fan - rather than worry how this effects Goha, worries that this will raise the price of concert tickets.

Episode 11: "No More Holding Back"

• Romin reveals she was a spy for Roa, to the shock of Luke, Gakuto, and... not Yuga, who'd already figured that out. Even better, he actually has to remind Luke that he was the one who suggested Romin was spying on them in the first place.
• After previews showed Romin with red eyes, fans assumed that she had been brainwashed by Roa. Come the episode, it turns out that her hunger makes her a really good and intense duelist, something Roa ensured by having their drummer eat all the snacks and lunches in the dressing room.
• As Romin is slow in playing the duel, Gakuto assumes that she's being conflicted in working for Roa or her friends, and seriously tries to bring her back to their side. In actuality she's just very hungry and can't concentrate, and even hallucinates her Duel Disk and Gakuto as food.
  • During her first draw, Gakuto voices his belief of Romin's true thoughts using a high pitch voice, which is too comical to be taken seriously.
  • To hide her embarrassing growling noise from her stomach, she abruptly starts loudly playing the guitar. While Gakuto thinks it's music that represents her mental conflict.
• During the time that Romin is going berserk Yugo tries to get her to push a button on her guitar a few times but she can't hear him only for her to accidently push it revealing that he had built in a snack dispenser into it. Making you wonder what other weird things that guitar has.
• After Romin wins her duel, Ushiro can be seen facing the wall in the background.

Episode 12: "The Forbidden Ace"

• In one of the biggest jobs at the franchise's penchant for Ass Pulls in the form of introducing the newest card out of nowhere in the middle of a duel, Yuga finds out that his "Sevens Road Magician" is actually a banned card due to it being an illegal fan card (sort of). Unlike Yuya's introduction of Pendulum Summoning which got him scorned, this was Played for Laughs.

Episode 13: "Another King"

• While Otes explains his story Luke constantly tries to get attention that he also could be the one to create new Roads and become the King of Duels as well.
• After the duel is over Luke and Gakuto are still curious about Romin's secret which she strongly refuses to tell. Then Yuga walks in and guesses that it's about being tone-deaf. She blushes and screams in embarrassment.

Maximum Arc

Episode 14: "Romin's Kitchen"

• Upon Yuga's suggestion to cook something for Luke, Romin is shown to be hesitant and fully admits she only eats, not cooks.
• Gakuto goes to assist her in making curry rice, but her absolute naivety and inexperience lead to her failing to recognize basic ingredients, cause explosions from flour and gunpowder, and making the curry blue.
• In the middle of an explosion from flour, Gakuto breaks the 4th wall and explains that it's dangerous when powder in the air meets fire, then resumes being blown away.
• Not wanting to eat the food, the student council goads Romin to taste test her own food, only to be blown away by her claiming it to be delicious.
• At the end, despite already creating something considered delicious, Romin adds more spices to create a new twist, only to flood Roa's apartment. When the latter arrives home to relieve Romin of house-sitting, he loses it.
• Dragears Curry◊ got its own profile on the official character page.

Episode 17: "The Cat in the Garden of Providence"

• Just the fact that Schroedinger Nekoyama has a deck based on cat versions of past “Eyes” dragons.
• As Luke keeps failing to guess the card type of the top of his deck he's getting pushed into the corner. But manages to counter it by rearranging the top 3 cards of his deck. Right before his defeat Nekoyama makes a last effort to stop the attack anyway... and Luke forgot how he rearranged his cards.

Episode 18: "Sorry, Gett-a Chance"

• While investigating, Romin is called by Roa for a favor, and upon her attempt to refuse, he reminds her that his apartment still smells like curry.
• Upon Getta's Big Entrance, Yugo and Co fail to recognize him, mistaking him for Ushiro at first since he didn't duel.
• Nail’s ability to open Trap Doors anywhere... including somehow in Roa's appartment.
• Even though Getta wants to duel Roa because he forgot their childhood promise and is upset about how he was treated in the band, Roa makes effort to make this a heartwarming duel. Culminating in Roa grabbing Getta before he falls into a trapdoor and saying he's helpless without him. But Romin has doubts about this and whispers to the group that Roa wanted Yuga to make a drummer bot for the band, which Luke then shouts in surprise. Leading to an awkward silence between Getta and Roa until the former lets himself fall into the pit while swearing revenge against the latter.

Episode 19: "The One Who Is A Throne"

• After Kaizo feels afraid about being thrown away or ignored by Yuga, he is reassured that he will be an integral part in creating the Super Rush Robot... the cooling unit around the crotch area.
  • By the end of the episode Yuga shows an alternate place to put Kaizo after realizing how disappointed he was earlier... the butt area as a deodorizer.
• Despite the obvious trap, after seeing Luke enjoy himself on the massage chair the other three join in out of interest.

Episode 20: "Being an Adult Is Tough"

• Continuing the running gag of Nail’s absurd trapholes, this time it's a big hole that's wider than the table Yuga's group was sitting around. And it sucks them in while the table and chairs are somehow fixed above the hole. Even Gakuto admits this one was innovative.
• Despite Luke's adamant nature against traitors of any kind, he once again is swayed with bribery via food much to the digression of his friends.
• When Mimi, as Number 6 of the Tops of Hexagon, challenges the group to a duel, Yuga steps up to duel her, only for Luke to declare he’ll duel next, followed by Gakuto, then Romin, before they immediately start arguing over who would duel her, resulting in them settling this with rock-paper-scissors, to which Yoshio, who had unintentionally been dragged in to Neiru’s trap hole, wins.
• Everyone but Luke revealing that they suspected Mimi was a spy working for Goha, but we’re then surprised when Mimi reveals she’s an adult, as well as Yoshio's mom. For added hilarity, this even shocks Yuga, who had assumed she really was a kid before questioning if she was using special effects makeup to look younger, to which an indignant Mimi respond with her age and that this is how she usually looks.

Episode 21: "Close Encounters of the Noodle Kind"

• The group's reaction to Sorako's noodles:
  • Gakuto shoots a beam from his mouth out of excitement.
  • Romin manages to outpace of speeding train.
  • Luke grapples and wins a wrestling match.

Episode 22: "The Sealed Devil"

• Luke accidentally gets captured and caged by Arata and then he believes Arata is about to forcefully turn him into a superhuman duelist. After mentally preparing himself for the supposed operation, Luke demands that he'll go through with it if Luke wins.
• After seeing that Arata is still a cheating duelist Luke thinks that as someone very close to being the Duel King, he needs to be a better influence on people and promises he'll put Arata on the right path with the duel.
• Believing Luke's watch they got is the source of his Pauli Effect power, Yuga, Romin and Gakuto each dramatically tries out their own "Luke Devil!" pose to help the duel, but gets embarrassed as nothing happens.

Episode 24: "Resolve"

• When Romin calls Roa looking for Yuga, Yuga asks not to tell that he's there. Roa then tells Romin he's busy making curry that does not explode.
• The Running Gag of Nail being able to open hexagonal trapdoors everywhere goes on...with a twist! This time, instead of having them falling down through one, he summons an elevator to send them up through one!
• After Otes creates copies of himself, Luke's immediate concern is if they should call them A, B, C or 1, 2, 3.

Goha 6th Elementary Arc

Episode 29: "Galient Digging"

• Gakuto wakes up, enjoys the outside view, and panics upon notices a giant hole surrounding their cabin.
• Yuga wonders how deep the hole is. So he ties up Kaizo with some rocks and drops it. Several seconds later, it rocket boosts back up and is unhappy about it. Yuga's hair is then smoking for a few more scenes.
  Kaizo: Don't treat people like pebbles!
• They're also out of food. Take one guess who's responsible for that. Naturally, Romin is furious.
• Yuga says it should go find Sebastian for help, but it refuses to "lower my head to that stupid massage chair". But then immediately rockets out when Romin asks it too.
• Rinnosuke teasing Ranze about Yuga, especially when she goes on a rant about following him around, noting his habits and blushing as well.
• Predictably Kaizo and Sebastian start bickering with each other◊ as soon as they meet up again.
• For the entire day, Kaizo and Sebastian had a fist fight, but finally became friends that understand each other better. Then they are found by Yuga and his friends who were stranded and starving at the cabin the whole time and are very furious◊.

Episode 30: "The Tiger Way of Battle"

• Luke signs the gang up for what he thinks is a Rush Duel tournament but turns out to be a trumpet duet competition. Naturally, Romin isn't happy about it.
  • In the dub, Gavin asks Seatbastian if it’s possible to cancel the sign up. The answer is that you can do so… as long as you pay $66,000.
• Luke's sister Tiger is as over the top as you would expect a person who treats dueling and playing wind music instruments as Serious Business. Though also being Luke's sister should have been a clue that she was not going to be chill.
• Luke, Sebastian, and Kaizo all getting blown into the wall several times throughout the episode by Tiger's breath.
• After Yuga beats Tiger, Luke rationalizes that he's finally beaten his sister in something since he defeated Yuga earlier in the series (never mind how lucky the outcomes of both duels were for the victor). Tiger doesn't quite think so.

Episode 31: "Rebelli-Ant Is Mine"

• Jango's addiction to drawing cards. He goes absolutely insane when he hasn't drawn a card in a while. And during the duel against Luke, he keeps trying to draw more cards than the rules allow and even requests that he'll draw Luke's cards on his draw phase as well.
  • The fact that when his issue hits he starts singing the intro (which his VA sings).
• The trumpet duet competition turns out to actually be a secret Rush Duel tournament after all. Luke is not pleased.
  • The other characters themselves are pretty much confused by what's happening at this point.
• When everyone goes off to watch Luke and Jango duel, Sebastian is left holding everyone’s stuff.
• All of the ant puns. And Gakuto’s growing exasperation with them.
  • And the fact that he eventually makes one himself.

Episode 32: "The Lady Who Loves Heavy Cavalry"

• Sebastian restarting him and Kaizo’s rivalry by shoving Kaizo out of the way so he can talk to Asana.
  Kaizo: “Traitor!”
  • And his freaked-out reaction when she says that she hates all drones, not just modified ones.
    Sebastian: (Gently groping the air) “…How was the strength of my massage?”
• Asana uses Wyrm Monsters, who are confused for Dragons by everyone but Luke. Though he admits he isn't sure what the difference actually is, reflecting real players opinions.
• Mimi looks absolutely ridiculous in President Goha's outfit.

Episode 33: "Goha 6th Elementary School"

• Luke theorises that the reason Asana has Maximum cards was because she dug up fossilised cards from beneath the Earth, a notion that Romin finds absurd. And at the end, Yuga reveals that Luke was correct that they came from the mines.
• Because drones aren’t allowed at Goha 6th Elementary, Kaizo and Sebastian have been placed into a storage shed. Kaizo has also taken the opportunity to doodle on Sebastian with a black marker.
• Realizing that he isn't the student's council president anymore causes Gakuto to start acting like Jango when he goes without drawing for too long.
  • Jango notices that Gakuto’s seizures are just like his own... and that's apparently enough to trigger them.
• When Galient is about to leave Goha 6th due to his machine breaking down, he remembers fondly how he took care of Asana for a very long time (apparently since her birth). This leads other characters to question his age.
• Just as it appears that Yuga’s group are making headway in liberating the school, Asana announces over the intercom that all of them will receive a penalty for helping other students cheat. Kaizo then pipes up to explain that he didn’t help them cheat. He just installed treadmills to make the daily run easier, rungs to make the daily climb easier and carried people across the river during the daily hike… which he acknowledges is actually cheating.
  Romin: You never offered to give me a lift.
  • The dub adds to this by giving Yuga and Asana this exchange.
  Yuga: Come on, Asana. Everyone loves Kaizo.
  Asana: Well I don’t.

Episode 34: “The Shiatsu-Nether Empire Strikes Back!”

• Kaizo and Sebastian’s rivalry continues, with Kaizo mispronouncing “Garden of Providence”, “Haven” and “Nail”, possibly on purpose. That last one is what makes Sebastian snap and send Kaizo flying forward with a poke/smack.
• They then decide to race to Haven… And Kaizo uses the old “Look Behind You” trick. And Sebastian falls for it.
• Kaizo’s reaction when Sebastian starts talking about “deciding which is better; massages or Shiatsu”:
  Kaizo: “What are you even talking about?!”
• The fact that Chikako actually goes and uses acupuncture on Sebastian’s monsters when the Card calls for it.
  • At one point, Sebastian actually shoves her away.
• Sebastian’s freaking faces during the duel. He’s just so… Gleeful about Massages. Also weirdly cute.
  • At one point, he calls out “CHAIR!” when he gets hit.

Episode 36: "Enlightenment ♡ Ranze Eyes"

• Note that this episode aired the day before Valentine's Day in Japan. The irony is palpable.
• When Ranze opposes her friends for Galient's sake, Rinnosuke is the one to challenge her. You'd think his reason would be to stop his sister because it's his responsibility, or that he has to do this because he's her brother and has the best chance of getting through to her. It's actually because he knows she's being a lovesick idiot and he's desperate to stop his friends from finding out.
• Throughout the episode, Ranze keeps seeing Yuga and Galient in more of a Bishōnen artstyle that wouldn't look out of place in a Gallop-animated series.
• Episode 29 revealed that Ranze was crushing on Yuga to the extent that she kept an observation diary on him. This episode reveals that Ranze does this for everyone she crushes on, and Rinnosuke reveals that Ranze has done this for fifty boys. Ranze tearfully reveals that it's actually seventy-three.
• At the end of the episode, Romin thanks Rinnosuke for what he did... and he begins crushing on her just like his sister did for Yuga.

Team Battle Royal Arc

Episode 41: I'll Yameruler the Sogetsu Style

• Ranze Eyes return as gloriously as ever, as Ranze hallucinates several adventures she's had with the crew.
• Because Ranze has quit the Student Council, runner-up Luke is next in line. He and Kaizo proceed to go mad with power and paint the school blue while Gakuto and Ranze are dueling.
  • And what stops him in the end? Tiger showing up and yelling him into the wall for forgetting to use her nickname again.
• While the final scene of Ranze joining Nail plays out in silence in the original Japanese, the dub add this hilarious exchange.
  Rayne: Nail sir, Please allow me to be your assistant.
  Nail: I don’t know who you are, but I want you to leave now.

Episode 42

• When Luke has an Imagine Spot of hismelf in explorer’s gear, Romin can only ask where he got the hat.
• Luke is informed that he needs a team of three for the tournament, so he requests they write “Luke’s Sidekick 1” and “Luke’s Sidekick 2”. Later, when told Yuga won’t be competing, Luke tries to change his mind with a "Just Joking" Justification over the sidekick thing.
• Luke uses his authority as vice-president to get Tracker to help, even though the latter points out he goes to a different school, and thus Luke has no authority over him.

Episode 43: Opening! Team Battle Royal

• After Asana gets sick, Chevelle and Galient are shocked when they can't sign up Doverap in her place, since for obvious reasons, Goha isn't going to let a bird compete.
• At the end of the episode, they again fall play of the rules when the staff is perplexed by their duel disks being construction equipment.

Episode 44: Discord

• When the Goha helmet drone doesn't want its user talking, it has a "Heh-Heh-Heh Mode". Which it tries to use for the opening speech for the tournament.
  • Mimi tries to protest the drone to let her do said opening speech, and it initially refuses... until she promptly points out how bad it just going "Heh-Heh-Heh" is as an opening speech, which actually causes the President to realize she's right, letting her do the opening instead.
  • Gets funnier in the dub, with the drone calling the function “Evil laugh mode”.
• Roa named his team "Roa and Getta and Ushiro". Romin also says their band was supposed to be named "Roa and Romin" (Roa is Greater Than or Equal to Romin in the dub), and she had to fight hard to get rid of the "and".
• Since Mimi is the president, people are surprised at how short the Goha President is, and later Goha Staff are baffled by the President being such a Genki Girl with a strange deck - Mimi's Bubble Era Prison monsters - the president has.
• Poor Galient winds up stuck with his head in between the bars of Mimi's Field Spell for the entire match and tries to yank himself out the entire time, raising some serious questions about the nature of Solid Vision in this series.
• Yuga and Roa's reactions after Romin suggests that they team up have to be seen to be believed.
  • Topping those are the reactions of Romin, Luke and Gakuto after Nail joins their team as their third member; fans would have noted right away that it's easily the most stacked team in the tournament, and Luke promptly agrees!

Episode 45: Upstart Hunter

• Luke has named his team Luke King Luke Kings. Romin and Gakuto aren’t happy, but have no choice but to go along with it since they lost the Duel that decided the right to name the team.
  • Similarly, Yuga, Nail and Roa have named their team YugaNail with R. It's not confirmed, but it's implied that Roa named it.
• Upon being introduced to Tahayasty, Nail immediately claims to it be Providence, and stays behind for half of Yuga's duel simply out of his new fascination, much to Sebastian's horror.
  • Roa tries to play off the ramen as mediocre, only to be confronted with the fact he's been visiting the place for five days in a row.
• Hunt enters the ramen shop now decked out entirely in gold. Everyone ends up blinded.
• Ranze has been working with Nail. He and Sebastian have been trying to get rid of her ever since.
• Luke's utter rage at Yuga "turning traitor" on him and on Hunt having a Maximum eventually crosses the line from irritating to hilarious, especially when he unloads on Hunt for it.
  • Made funnier in the dub, when Tracker states that his payments include coupons to receive a massage from a duck, which he intends to throw away.
    Luke: I always wanted to get massaged by a duck.
• Roa claiming that he gave his Maximum a fan had given him to Yuga because he couldn't use it. Romin proceeds to tease Roa about how he really did it to say thanks for teaming up, and Roa doesn't exactly deny it.
• When Hunt is defeated and the Dinosaur trio is forced to apologize for the Maximum scheme, Luke tries to confiscate the rest of the Maximum cards, transparently because he wants them, only for them to admit they had actually sold them all, leaving Luke frustrated.

Episode 46: Back to the Past

• Luke's group randomly encounters a pack of unconscious duelists at a playground in the middle of nowhere, and are disturbed due to their zombie-like nature. Then they begin praising Goha, and it becomes clear they're simply tournament burnouts who have become upset at being knocked out during the preliminaries.
  • Upon the duelists charging the group, Luke proclaims he'll take on the entire host, only for him to fold when rushed, and call for a rock-paper-scissors contest to determine competitor order.
  • When the Goha 7th Allied Forces arrive to assist the group, Luke says he'll remember their sacrifices for three days maximum.
• Asana and the Heavy Cavalry Duel Club confront Goha 66 within Maximum Mountain, only to be declared children who fail to understand the romanticisms of salarymen.
  • Then as the first lesson, he introduces the Goha Gymnastics: seemingly multiplying himself while doing an exercise. Actually revealing they were 66 people standing in a line.
• When it becomes clear that Goha 66 is not within the databases, Roa begins teasing Neiru over his inability to do anything despite his reputation.
• While hungry, Luke's group finds a model of Stonehenge composed of some odd material. Luke of course digs in immediately thinking its cake, but when proven correct, Romin charges in and matches him in terms of appetite.

Episode 48: Clash of Secret Techniques

• When Luke gets scared of his sister upon noticing her, Asana only then realizes that she had failed to recognize him back in the Goha 6th Arc, since she only knew him as Tatsuhisa as a child...to which everyone else sweatdrops.
• It turns out that Kayama's family is a delivery company...and his family turns out to be entirely pigeons with him being the only human, and Doverap is his brother.
  • The whole backstory of Kayama's family qualifies, really. Romin even comments that there's simply too much going on in it to truly process it.

Episode 49: Roa Romin

• After the duel is finished, Umiko announced the next duel will be the next episode, leaving Luke rather confused by what she said.

Episode 50: Gakuting

• At the thought of facing Nail, Gakuto loses his mind and believes the next evolution of the Sougetsu Style is the NEO Sougetsu-style Sougetsu Gakuto: Gakuting.
  • As he is rapping, everyone is lost for words, the Goha employees and Mimi are sweating, Roa explains the lyrics to Yuga, and Romin is highly irritated, delivering a Big "SHUT UP!" that honestly needs to be heard. Gakuto himself is aware just how badly he messed up and Luke can understand his feelings. Rinnosuke still supports him but thinks he's disgracing the Sougetsu name.
• As Sebastian, Nekoyama, Arata are being annoying while Getta investigates the duel system, Ushiro distracts them with scary stories.
  • Sebastian calls out “CHAIR!” again, this time in fright.
    • And Nekoyama and Arata cling to him.

Season 2

Goha 6 Siblings Arc

Episode 53: Let's Go! Rush Gulu!

• After becoming the King of Duels, Luke is out of control, wearing the crown, jeans and guitar he won from the tournament along with round Sinister Shades and demanding everyone call him king - and making no one want to join his club despite how popular rush duels have become. To stop him, Romin and Gakuto enlist Tiger, who gives them an embarrassing manga called Luke Man that Luke wrote as a child, which gets published by the 7th Elementary Newspaper. Everyone calling him Luke Man quickly makes him retreat to the Corner of Woe, his ego checked.
• Yuga petrified in fear when a ladybug lands on his face, holding up his Duel Disk saying help until Guruguru plucks the ladybug off of him, to his relief Kaizo shows up right after and is later shown annoyed at missing a chance to see Yuga freaked out, but notes that he at least knows one of his weaknesses.
• Gakuto and Romin get the idea to go to Tiger for help after witnessing her yelling her club members into the sky for calling her Haruka.

Episode 54: Riding Rush Duel

• At the start of the episode, Yoshio, Guruguru and all three of Tiger's club members are being washed by Romin and Arai, having apparently never washed their costumes before. As in, pegged up on a clothesline, then hosed down by Arai and dried off by Yuga in his new Road, which is powerful enough for Yuga to Riding Duel in. At the end of the episode they're still hanging up.
• Yuga and Yuro unexpectedly enter a tunnel during their duel, and banging sounds promptly echo from it. Cue Neiru proudly explaining how he designed that section of the tunnel himself.
• Despite being King of Duels, Luke gets absolutely no respect from the Goha siblings, who only challenge Yuga specifically. Luke begs them not just to take him seriously, but make him a Goha employee too.

Episode 55: Yujin and the Sea

• Yujin in general. His Establishing Character Moment is running so fast on a treadmill he literally runs out of Goha Space Elementary and into the harbor, his encounter with the dolphin is such a callback to Judai/Jaden's memetic encounter with Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin, and he introduces himself to the Goha 7th crew by singing a love ballad to the sea. Viewers of Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series likely had fun with that. And to top it all off? He developed this overnight, as his siblings are just as bewildered by everyone else by Yujin's actions.
• When Yujin challenges Yuga to duel, Yuga sheepishly admits that he can’t swim.
• Poor Guruguru is entranced by the artificial sea made for Yujin's duel and runs off to get changed into an adorable swimming costume. He gets back just in time for Kaizo to literally unplug the sea.

Episode 56: Kattobashing

• The baseball trials. Gakuto and Romin, both shown to be pretty athletic previously, do quite well. Yuga however does not.
• Luke's motivation for attending the trials in the first place is to become the "King of Base-Stealing" and eventually use these skills to steal the president's chair from Yuga when he eventually becomes president. Gakuto and Romin comment that Luke clearly has no idea what "base-stealing" involves.
• Yuka being a Hot-Blooded baseball duelist with monsters based on Yuma Tsukumo's deck from Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL after previous episodes painted her as the Only Sane Woman.
• After the duel, despite Romin losing, Yuka is so impressed with her performance she tries to legitimately sign her up for her baseball team.

Episode 57: The Fourth Assailant Cometh

• The Kendo Team comes to Gakuto for help, asking for him to sub after they got injured, seemingly after special training...only for them to have never made it, instead having been injured by Tiger shouting at them for failing to call her Tiger when they came to her for help.

Episode 59: "Order Button"

• Goha 7th and 6th Elementary's student councils have a joint meeting in the AI restaurant to find a counter to Fusion Summon. Hilarity Ensues.
  • Osamu and Gakuto start with debating if the meeting name should be "6th and 7th" or "7th and 6th".
  • Botan shows that she can eat an entire table's worth of food in an instant. Even the Sogetsu duelists Ranze and Rinnosuke can't see anything. Jango scolds her to have some restraint... while drawing cards from his box.
  • Romin is suddenly here. She claims she was curious on what they were here to discuss. But is clearly more interested in eating some Yakiniku Parfait.
  • Osamu thinks Romin doesn't belong here. She manages to seduce him by talking right in front of his face.
  • After Romin "witnesses" Botan's ability, she becomes cautious of her and calls Kaizo for help.
  • Kaizo is supposed to guard Botan, but he gets an existential crisis when the group shows him the time he was a bike seat which he can't remember.
  • Ranze drops a notebook that she was writing about Galient.
  • After Botan ate the food again, Romin gets so angry that she breaks the 4th wall and chews on the camera lens. Causing the screen to shake a lot.
  • Ranze, Rinnosuke and Kaizo have Botan surrounded while keeping a close eye on her, while Osamu tries to flirt with Romin, while Jango is drawing cards like crazy in the background.
  • And then all hell breaks loose. Kaizo manages to see Botan eating like a monster and goes mad, Romin's stomach growls, causing her to go into her berserk mode and loudly play her guitar while screaming for food, Jango wants to try leading the meeting thinking Gakuto is too undistinguished, while running out of cards to draw. He then goes insane wtih his usual withdrawal symptoms while Gakuto starts rapping as Gakuting trying to prove he's distinguished. Crazy Kaizo gets thrown into Osamu causing him to lose his glasses. Ranze goes to help him… and then gets another "Ranze Eyes" moment after seeing without his glasses, while Rinnosuke yells her name. And while all this chaos is going on, Botan wants seconds.
  • Neiru sighs while watching all this.
    • Meanwhile, behind him, Sebastian has his hands over his “ears” trying to block out all the noise.

Episode 60: Do You Remember Atachi?

• At the beginning of the episode Yuro has taken Yuka to the Tahayasty Restaurant to tell her about Fusion. She doesn't seem all that bothered by it, spending most of the episode sucking down ramen.
• The two plots of this episode are Guruguru trying to find a clue in Goha Library to defeating Fusion and Dueling with Mimi over a needed book, and Yuga trying to meet with Yuo. Hilarity Ensues.
  • Yuga is apparently so shaken by his loss to Fusion he modifies his air conditioner Road while in a zombie-like trance and takes Luke, Romin, Gakuto and Kaizo to Super Mobile Fortress Sixross, crashing through the top. Which Yuo later reveals is made of Gohanium.
  • Romin brought some homemade curry with her just in case things between Yuo and Yuga get heated, since it worked great for her and Luke. This time it's pink, so she dubbed it "Prima Guitarna Curry". Gakuto and Luke proceed to treat it as a dangerous explosive for the rest of the episode.
  • The group end up in Yuka's personal baseball field and are promptly assaulted by automatic baseball Drones. Gakuto and Luke have to work desperately to keep the curry from being hit. Romin proves to be adept at fending them off. Yuga just keeps walking, somehow not being hit, and Yuo drops the others down a trapdoor.
  • After that they end up in the kitchen. Romin is keen to experiment more with the curry. Gakuto and Luke disagree.
  • As it turns out, Yuga just wanted to ask Yuo where he got Fusion. When Yuo admits he doesn't know, Yuga is absolutely overjoyed and reveals he was acting like a zombie because he literally hasn't slept since he lost. Once he finishes eagerly explaining the potential this means for Rush Dueling he keels over asleep and doesn't wake up until they've left the ship.
  • Following that Yuo is absolutely furious that Yuga came all the way here to ask him that. It's the first time he's been truly shocked, with the possible exception of Yujin's Man of the Sea shtick. He promptly sics his puppets and iron maiden on the group, to the point that Luke is ready to use Romin's curry as a makeshift bomb. However Gakuto is worried that the entire city might get destroyed.
  • Kaizo then arrives with backup, namely, Tiger and her club members. While Romin and Gakuto are able to stop Luke from habitually calling her "big sister", her club members once again call Tiger "president", and she promptly unleashes her wrath on the entire room.
  • Kaizo ends up getting stuck in the iron maiden and launched into space. He assumes that he's being Put on a Bus again.
  • Down in the library, Guruguru and Mimi are dueling over the "SEVENS" book Guruguru found. Except they're still in the library, so they have to keep being shushed. Eventually everyone else in the room and even the crabby librarian Drone are all watching the duel.
  • Guruguru has Mimi on the ropes with Dark Magician, but hesitates to attack. Mimi wonders if it's due to being conflicted, but it's because Guruguru is crushing on the Dark Magician Girl in his hand and doesn't want to give it up.
  • After the Duel everyone quietly goes back to reading.
• At the end of the episode, Yuka comes back and comments on Romin's curry, which again turns out to be pretty nice. She puts the leftovers in the fridge at the end of the episode, with severe implication it'll do something to the curry...

Episode 61: Live! Powerful Rush Duel

• In a flashback to when RoaRomin was getting started, Roa had many different costume plans to try to get more popular, including ridiculous animal suits that Romin hated.

Episode 62: The Lukeman! The Lukeman!!

• The start of the episode has the Goha Siblings bar Yuo starting their secret meeting...on the roof at Goha 7th Elementary. With all their machines there. Yuka and Yuro's can at least fly, but Yujin's hasn't yet been seen to. They're also being spied on by the two girls who are always seen spying on Mimi.
• When Luke is missing, Yuga reveals he has a device that can track people based on what they last ate, and enters curry since that is what the Kamijo's had for dinner. Only for the device to shock Tiger for Yuga to realize he forgot that since Tiger is his sister and so also had curry. Tiger, surprisingly taking being electrocuted in stride, then clarifies they didn't have the same type of curry, and Yuga is able to track down Luke with the more specific curry.
  • Said curry? Luke was trying to recreate Dragias Curry that didn't explode, but just made normal yellow curry that he nevertheless proclaimed "Bunker Strike Curry". Which ended up being next week's character entry on the official site.
• Everything about The☆Lukeman, a tokusatsu parody of Luke who speaks in a ridiculously dramatic voice, repeats his statements twice a lot, and is constantly referring to himself in the third person. All his new cards bar Fusion and Superstrike Dragon Dragiastar F also have "The☆" in their very basic names. He also somehow manages to make blue smoke appear behind him.

Episode 63: The Sixth Man

• When Roa comes to visit Mimi at the start of the episode she's about to go and run to him, but then remembers the rules of the RSFC - the Roa-sama fan club, namely that she must keep an appropriate distance from Roa at all times. Said appropriate distance is Roa's height, and we get a hilarious diagram of an image of Roa swirling around himself as Mimi checks the distance out.
  • We get to see a snippet of other rules as well and there seem to be a lot.
  • Later Mimi ends up breaking the above-mentioned rule, but she's able to gap it in time before it's actually violating the rule.

Episode 64: A Family of Gears

• The episode starts with Luke running with sparkly eyes shouting "Onii-Chan!!"^note Big Brother!!. Then Yuo stops him saying that's disgusting. Especially since he's the younger one.
• Luke's great-grandfather Akinori "Gavan" Kamijo turns out to be just as quirky as his grandchildren; he repeats statements three times, makes some bizarre comments when people expect him to be deep, and is thoroughly obsessed with gears.
• The reason Luke returns home? He needed some spare underwear. Doll the President Drone points out that he's in fifth grade and still needs his mother to tell him where it is.
• Tiger's arrival prompts a very cartoonish response of fear from Luke, slowly cranking his head to look at his very anger sister.
• Tiger's eventual outburst throws Luke through five sides of the house before finally chucking him outside, holding onto Doll the whole time.
• In a Funny Background Event, Yuo is busy taking down what remains of his gear-patterned wallpaper during Luke and Tiger's Rush Duel so Luke doesn't shred the rest.

Episode 66: Final Battle! The Devil Empire

• Something about Yuga feels off while he's dueling The☆Lukeman, as if he's the villain. Then Yuga summons a suit from Goha and becomes The☆Lukeman's arch enemy: the Yuga-Devil. Everyone watching has a massive Eye Take, Hatrap included◊.
  • Yuga renames Sevens Road Magician to Sevens Road Magidevil (by replacing Magi with Majin, the Japanese word for devil). Gakuto protests the name isn't great. Sevens Road Witch also seems to be really into the façade, sporting hilariously evil expressions throughout the episode.
  • The dub version changes this to stating that Sevens Road is so evil he stole his sword from his grandma. Gavin then asks why an old lady would have such a sword.
• The absurdity of The☆Lukeman's origin bewilders everyone. Back in Episode 53, Tiger struggled to submit Luke's The☆Lukeman manga, which contained Luke's passion and zeal, by fax because she tried to shove the entire thing at once. And she eventually karate chops the machine, causing an abnormal electrical surge which brought The☆Lukeman into life as a digital sentient being.
  • Even better in the dub, where she says that the comic was pretty good, to the point she wanted to have it published.
  • And then it found the cards that contained Goha satellite's program that was drifting in space when Nail destroyed them years ago. It then reprogrammed them into Fusion so that The☆Lukeman could work together with Luke, its creator.
• Romin summing up the situation in the dub.
  Romin: We’re only in this mess because Luke drew a superhero. Why couldn’t he draw a unicorn instead?
• For the next step of Yuga's plan, he summons another suit and becomes The☆Yugaman. Then Yuran's drone encourages everyone else to wear their hero costumes as well to their disbelief.
  • While most of them are shocked, Romin is beside herself with excitement and Asana is blushing bright red.

Episode 67: Space Warrior The☆Lukeman

• The episode starts like an entirely different show with Yuga's friends posing in their hero suits, a narration of the situation, and a fake title screen.
• The Goha siblings are dressed in dull, grey Goha Alien suits. Acting like they tricked The☆Lukeman to fight his own allies.
  • The☆Beauty Romin is captured by them as hostage to keep the duel going. In addition she later returns to joining everyone else without Lukeman noticing.
• Yuo and Doll are also in the suits for some reason, thoroughly confused on what's happening.
  • When The☆Lukeman restored both player's LP, he had enough, throws away the costume, and screams to take the duel seriously.
  • His disbelief that The☆Yugaman survived getting crushed from a falling satellite and got a card added to the top of his deck.
  • He argues that this breaks the rules. But Neiru in a Goha Alien costume calmly reads the rulebook that unexpected situations beyond the duelists' control modifying the deck is fine. Yuo's expression slowly gets more exhausted as he slumps over in disbelief.
• After The☆Lukeman loses, Yuo doesn't accept it and tries to destroy the Rush Duel Robot with his ship. Kaizo returns from his vacation, penetrates the hull, hits Romin's Prima Guitarna Curry in the fridge which then floods the ship and makes it crash.

Goha Employee Arc

Episode 68: The Melancholy of Yuo

• Yuo's siblings are unusually nice to him, insists that they should clean the curry from the ship, and his schedules are empty. He's thinking about the situation in a playground when The☆Beauty Romin and Professor Gakuto shows up. Yuo is not in the mood to play along but Professor Gakuto warns him that Romin could create a fusion of her previous curries that will cause a massive explosion.
  • After Yuo talks about his concerns, The☆Beauty Romin uses her Miraculously Beautiful Problem-Solving Beam, identifies the issue, then asks for ice cream. Professor Gakuto explains that move makes her hungry so he should feed her before she turns everything into Curry Hell. Yuo finds this absurd but Professor Gakuto pushes him to play along.
  • They think the siblings are preparing a surprise birthday party. Yuo finds that unlikely, but still asks for advice just in case. After another Miraculously Beautiful Problem-Solving Beam and Yuo annoyingly buying more food, they say he should be saying "Thank You".
  • As Yuo never said "Thank You" ever, he goes through tough training in a variety of ways including rapping with Gakuting.
• Yuo returns to the ship but instead of a party, he finds that the siblings, Romin, Gakuto prepared a play reenacting The☆Beauty Romin's kidnapping. He thinks they are making fun of him, but it turns out to be part of the party. Then he happily plays along, beating up the Goha Aliens with The☆Beauty Romin's staff.
  • Gakuto and Romin swapped characters for the play, with no apparent reason (Romin loved playing The☆Beauty Romin, and she is not avoiding playing the Damsel in Distress since Professor Gakuto is also in a cage). Gakuto just tells Yuo not to ask.
    • The Goha Siblings "torture" him by tickling him. Gakuto ends up breaking character (and his falsetto) when they tickle him a bit too much.

Episode 69: Field of Gyoreams

• The Overly Long Name or Department of Redundancy Department names of Goha. Although Yuga's is a normal Duel Operations Division.
  • Gakuto: General Headquarters' Department of Internal Discipline in the Serious Division.
  • Romin: Department of Employee Welfare Staff Canteen Division in the Hungry Section.
  • Luke, Swirly: Department of Luke Operations in the Luke Division in the Luke Section. Which doesn't actually exist so Luke made it. And he's the General Manager, Department Head and Section Manager.
  • Umiko Flash: Office Kitchenette and General Headquarters' General Affairs Department of General Affairs in the 6th Division.
• Umiko Flash's dueling. Almost every line she says is either getting distracted, making a misplay, using her own terms and names inconsistently etc. Some examples being:
  • Her Duel Disk doesn't work at first because she spilled some food on it the other day. And it takes Gakuto to clean it before it works properly (to put it in context, Umiko's job is fixing malfunctioning equipment).
  • She's shocked while an attack is incoming, because she just remembered a DVD she rented that's overdue for 3 months.
  • She activates a trap to deal some damage, then Ranze points out the rest of the card text she easily could have used to her advantage. And gets angry they didn't tell her about it sooner.
    • Many Yu-Gi-Oh! players got a kick out of Ranze and Rinnosuke mocking Umiko for not reading her cards, given how stereotypical a description this can be for many players of the game.
  • Instead of the specific monster types, she says water-lovers and water-haters. Ranze has to go read her card to check what they are.
  • Her Fusion Summon chant: "Oh yeah, it's sure appearing, blub blub."
  • She's in awe to see a Fusion Summon, even though she did it first.

Episode 70: That Person, The Hidden Nanahoshi

• Yuga changing his summoning chant to reflect how much he hates (because he is scared of them) ladybugs.
  Yuga: “It doesn't matter if ladybugs, ladybugs or ladybugs stand in my way! Kill, exterminate, squash!”
• The reason Yuga is scared of ladybugs: Nanahoshi tricked him into believing that her ladybug hat was a giant ladybug eating her head. Which is weirdly plausible, when you consider Yuga's age, but a stark contrast for his usual extremely prepared and savvy self.
  • True to self, Yuga developed a road to deal with ladybugs: a massive missile launcher that would blow-up the top of the Goha building.
  • Yuga only realizes toward the end of the episode that the ladybug was actually a hat and not a real ladybug. Despite Nanahoshi wearing it through the whole episode.

Episode 71: Danger: Do NOT Mix

• Gakuto has become so terrified of the possibility of Romin's curries being mixed that he sends out a company-wide email to warn people not to mix them.
  • Gakuto gets so worried about the two curries risking being mixed that he runs in the corridors to prevent it. He also lampshades that the fact he is running shows how serious the situation is when Luke points it out.
• It's shown that Gakuto was right to be worried when a droplet of the stuff being combined is enough to blow up reinforced glass. And yet Luke's so hungry that he still wants to eat it.

Episode 72: The Fantastic Underground Luke Factory

• Luke, Guruguru, and some of their friends find an abandoned card printing machine. They have fun with it by printing themselves as cards with generally 5 digit ATK, DEF values, levels over 12, and made up types and attributes.
  • Such as: The☆Luke Division Manager. 64000 ATK, 80000 DEF. Level 99, DRAGON attribute, Business-type. Effect: When this card enters the field, instantly destroy all of your opponent's monsters. Then attack directly and inflict 100 Trillion Damage.
  • Given the power to make cards as broken as they want, only two of them make effect monsters, the others are all normal monsters. Some of which end up having stats below what a normal level 10 monster would have.

Episode 74: Duel Zombie

• After Yuo runs off with the only escape ship, he is immediately and karmically attacked by a Zombified Hunt out of nowhere, in sharp contrast to the scary attacks throughout the episode.
• Both Luke and Yuo find a safe spot and refuse to share, only to get the payback later (Luke gets cornered, Yuo attacked by Hunt). On both occasions, Gakuto looks in the distance and remarks that selfish people always get punished in zombie movies.
  • Gakuto in general showing off his expertise of zombie movies and being perfectly aware of the tropes that apply, like knowing that the slightest distraction will result in you being surrounded by zombies.

Episode 75: The Mystery of Yuga

• Roa meets Asana for the first onscreen time and promptly calls her "pretty baby" in English. Asana tells him off for not greeting R6 as well, and Roa promptly greets R6 as "pretty baby" as well. Asana then points out that R6 is older than Roa, and is a gentleman who doesn't call pretty girls "baby". Mimi promptly tells R6 she'd be very happy if Roa called her "baby".
• Roa also flirts shamelessly throughout the Duel with Asana, telling her she has a cute smile when she's grinning at having countered him.
• When Roa, Gakuto and Mimi are running after the multiple Yugas, poor Mimi can't keep up with the younger kids.
• Asana returns with the real Romin, revealing the Romin that's been present all episode to be an imposter. Romin's first action is to "Romin Kick" Roa for not realising she was an imposter.
• How did Nanaho's agents keep the real Romin away from the others? By setting up shops and offering Romin deals and cute things to keep her distracted.

Episode 77: Swirly Revival

• For nearly a season the series has been building up hints towards the identity of the sixth Goha sibling; these have pointed in many directions, with Yuga being the prime suspect of many until Episode 75 seemingly jossed this for good. The big reveal in this episode? The sixth sibling is indeed Yuga! ...by which we mean Swirly / Guruguru, whose real name turns out to be "Yuga Goha". Well played, Konami!
  • He doesn't share just his first name with Yuga, he also has the same hairstyle and even a similar voice (albeit provided by a different actor). Well played indeed.
• In the dub, Luke objects to Yuo’s scheme to merge Rush Duels with Goha Duels… unless he renamed them something awesome, like Luke Duels.
  Romin: Are you going for awesome, or awfull?
  • Even more so, Yuo responds entirely earnestly.
    Yuo: I'm afraid that "Luke Duels" are not on the table.

King of Duels Arc

Episode 82

• Luke’s movie is already half-assed in the original, but the dub takes the Stylistic Suck up to eleven, with Yuga indulging in Bad "Bad Acting", Galian not staying in character as Roa and Rayne as Romin referring to Kaizo by name, despite the fact she’s not supposed to know it (and Kaizo is playing a regular drone here).

Episode 83: Journey's Companions

• The fact that the Heavy Machine Cavalry club uses their ID cards to recreate Asana's Maximum monster and unlock her memory is heartwarming. The fact that one of those ID cards belongs to the pigeon, however, is just hilarious.
  • While Trapigeon's ID had been seen in a previous episode, this is the first one to show Chevelle's ID, even though he doesn't seem to duel on his own.
• Rayne and Rino revive Gavin’s embarrassing Totally Radical act, becoming Rin to the O and MC Rayne.

Episode 90: Into Space!

• After the spaceship is revealed, Luke immediately tries to name it the Lukeliner and Romin and Gakuto promptly shut him down. The next morning it's revealed it got painted on and then crossed out, with "Rush" put on instead.
• The fuel source they find for the spaceship? Romin's curry.
• When the Goha Siblings go to Asana to ask for her help, Yujin has to persuade Yuka to bow after verbally trading barbs with Asana moments before.
• The Goha Siblings go to free Yuga Goha, who naturally starts ranting and raving. Yuka shuts him up by stuffing a baseball in his mouth.
• When they get to the moon, they find a massive robot built in the shape of Otes. It seems he has more of an ego than was first apparant.
