A duel is set between Jaden and female student Rose to determine where the academy goes for their field trip.
- Mythology Gag: Crowler wants to take the academy on a field trip to Italy, a reference to his Italian heritage in the Japanese version.
- Princess Phase: Rose is still in it.
- Real After All: Rose claims she can see duel spirits. Jaden and Chazz can't see them to the point the latter calls her a liar. When their duel ends, Jaden and Winged Kuriboh see a frog prince behind her.
- Silk Hiding Steel: Despite her wardrobe and love of fairy tales and all things princess-themed, Rose truly is a talented, merciless duelist; if Jaden hadn't drawn Air Hummingbird on his first turn, she would have wiped out his life points entirely on her second turn.
- The Smurfette Principle: Rose is the only female character in the GX era with the power to see monster spirits.
- Thinks Like a Romance Novel: Rose thinks like a romantic fairy tale.
- True Blue Femininity: Despite being a member of the Society of Light, Rose wears an all blue dress. Even regular female Obelisk Blues wear white outfits with a little blue, making Rose an exception from all angles.
- Valley Girl: Rose talks like this in the English Dub, using phrases like "totally tubular" and complaining about breaking her nails when she loses.
