While riding her motorcycle , Emma met up with Akira Zaizen , who requested her help in finding information about Playmaker , who had become a popular figure in the city . She agreed as she was also interested in him . Emma was again seen in LINK VRAINS observing the duel between Playmaker and Blue Angel . She was present in the hospital when Akira learned of his sister , Aoi Zaizen ' s condition . At some point , Emma was hired by SOL Technologies and reported to them about Aoi being Blue Angel . She later met with him to discuss trapping Playmaker . Akira was also aware that Emma worked for other people . Emma then masqueraded as Blue Angel and successfully lured Playmaker to LINK VRAINS . He confronted her knowing that she was deceiving him , she then proceeded to trap him and witnessed Akira ' s interrogation and torture of Playmaker . She was then surprised by the appearance of Varis and his ability to control Data Storm s . Per Akira ' s orders , Ghost Girl went after Varis and Playmaker with a camera to film their Duel . She was intrigued at how Playmaker performed three Link Summon s at once , and was shocked at Varis ' power to summon a Data Storm and " Topologic Bomber Dragon " . As Varis and Playmaker went inside the Data Storm , Ghost Girl was unable to enter it , and her camera stopped recording . Ghost Girl admitted she could log out of LINK VRAINS to create a program to enter the Data Storm , but she would not be able to return to the network . To find more about how Yusaku was doing , Shoichi created a path for Ghost Girl to enter the Data Storm . Ghost Girl was intrigued , seeing Playmaker had an ally they never knew about . She went through the path , wishing she could discuss more on this program . Nevertheless , after arriving inside the Data Storm , Ghost Girl watched Varis and Playmaker ' s Duel , with her cameras recording it . While watching their Duel , Ghost Girl noted how Playmaker ' s next turn would decide the outcome . She noted how Playmaker made his attack and Varis countered it . She heard how Playmaker wanted revenge for what had happened 10 years ago . This intrigued her , hearing the connection with SOL Technologies . With Varis ' defeat , Ghost Girl returned to Akira , and watched as Playmaker used the virus - removal program on Blue Angel . The latter disappeared , as Ghost Girl told Akira that she successfully logged out . Playmaker left without Akira being able to thank him , which impressed Ghost Girl for his cool attitude . After logging out , Ghost Girl had Isomaki drive Akira to the hospital to meet up with his sister . A few days later Emma ran into Café Nagi and met Shoichi , but neither recognized each other as either " Ghost Girl " or " Playmaker ' s assistant " . After ordering a coffee and two chili dogs , she said she was interested in Dueling Playmaker , raising Yusaku ' s interest . Later she logged into LINK VRAINS and met with Frog and Pigeon regarding a interview they had asked " Ghost Girl " to do for them . She gave them the answers to their questions as well as all the information she had gathered about Playmaker for a very expensive price . The information she gave the two reporters would ' ve allowed them to make a big scoop regarding everything Playmaker has done and vital information about the Ignis , but Yusaku and Shoichi deleted the scoop while cleaning files involving Playmaker . Emma was doing research on Playmaker , recalling his ability to obtain monsters from the Data Storm and noted how that is a Skill ordinary people cannot use . She wondered if Playmaker could do this sort of thing because of his connection with the Data Storm , a connection she believed to be related to that incident ten years ago . She went to hack SOL Technologies ' data bank , to find out more , by creating a backdoor program . However , a Data Storm protected the database . Suddenly , she gasped and immediately shut down her computer . Despite her failure , she swore not to give up , considering her interest in Playmaker ' s history . At the bridge , Akira spoke to Emma , who noted even if Akira was involved in saving LINK VRAINS , he was still demoted . Akira was not displeased , since his wish to cure Aoi was fulfilled when Playmaker gave out the virus removal program . Emma stated Akira was replaced by his former boss Kitamura , whom Akira believed to be the one making the Duelist army that used AI , and would do anything to get results . Emma wished to know about Playmaker ' s incident ten years ago but since Akira knew nothing about it , she decided to make her search on her own , by hacking into SOL Technologies ' data bank . Akira was shocked , but Emma claimed this was just to make connections with that company . Akira asked of her to give such data to him , but Emma stated she was not forced to do so , claiming he could pay her . Akira refused , and Emma grew disinterested of Akira . She left , claiming Playmaker could buy such data to know more about the ten - year - past incident . Back at her house , Emma remembered how someone created a path for her to enter the Data Storm during Varis and Playmaker ' s Duel . She analyzed that program , and sent the message to its writer . Shoichi and Yusaku read the message she left on a forum , in which she challenged Playmaker to a Duel , betting her access to the SOL Technologies ' data bank and Playmaker ' s Ai . Yusaku accepted her challenge , and Shoichi wrote the message to Emma . She quickly responded to the message by logging into the LINK VRAINS , as Ghost Girl . There , she quickly met up with Playmaker , and showed him her program she set as a stake for the Duel . Playmaker wondered why wouldn ' t she access the data bank , and was told Ghost Girl wanted his Ai , so she could sell it to the SOL Technologies . She admitted she grew more interested in Playmaker after his latest Duel , and wanted to battle him as a cyber treasure hunter . Despite Ai ' s warnings , Playmaker accepted her Duel , as the two rode off on the Data Wind . In her first turn , Emma summoned " Altergeist Marionetter " and Set two cards . Playmaker had his " Cyberse Wizard " attack , but was stopped by Ghost Girl ' s " Altergeist Kunquery " . Despite his attack , Ghost Girl was intrigued how he dared to attack , despite her Set cards . Ghost Girl Summoned another " Altergeist Marionetter " , Set another card , then Link Summoned " Altergeist Primebanshee " . She swapped one of her " Altergeist Marionetters " for " Altergeist Meluseek " . Ghost Girl ended her preparations , and aimed to defeat Playmaker before he could use his Skill . As Ghost Girl initiated the Battle Phase and claimed she would win in that turn , Ai laughed , as she would make 2400 LP damage . Both Playmaker and Ghost Girl scolded Ai for such thinking ; Playmaker claimed no Duelist would make that simple math error , making Ghost Girl wonder why everyone was after " this dumb AI " . Regardless , " Altergeist Meluseek " attacked directly and sent " Cyberse Wizard " to the GY , allowing " Altergeist Marionetter " to attack directly , and allowing " Altergeist Primebanshee " to do so as well . Ghost Girl smiled , feeling her dreams grow larger , and ordered Playmaker to brace himself for his defeat . Ghost Girl had " Altergeist Primebanshee " attack Playmaker directly . To prevent that , Playmaker Special Summon ed " Lockout Gardna " . Seeing that Ai was merely pretending to be sad , Ghost Girl knew they would have enough LP to use Storm Access , and opted not to attack . On Playmaker ' s turn , Ghost Girl swapped " Altergeist Meluseek " with " Altergeist Silquitous " , by using the effect of " Altergeist Primebanshee " , and also added an " Altergeist Kunquery " to her hand . Playmaker attempted to destroy her ace by Tributing " Backlinker " , but was prevented by Ghost Girl ' s " Altergeist Protocol " . Ghost Girl claimed she could anticipate their every move : Playmaker attempted to revive Backlinker with " Striping Partner " , but was stopped by " Altergeist Silquitos " . Using " Lockout Gardna " , both effects were negated , though Ghost Girl had one final trap prepared . She noted how Playmaker was an interesting person , as she suspected . Playmaker Link Summoned " Underclock Taker " and tried to weaken " Altergeist Primebanshee " . Ghost Girl countered that with " Altergeist Camouflage " , and protected " Altegeist Primebanshee " from attacks , stating Playmaker had reached his limits . Playmaker paid 1000 LP to activate the effect of " Balancer Lord " , making him eligible to use Storm Access . Ghost Girl refused to let him activate the Skill and used Secret Cure to increase both of their LP . Playmaker Special Summoned " Scan Doll " , and paid 1000 LP to use " Altergeist Protocol " on " Altergeist Silquitos " . However , Ghost Girl believed he simply forgot about " Altergeist Kunquery " she still had in her hand . Playmaker used Storm Access , but Ghost Girl went with him into the Data Storm . However , she lost control of her D - Board and was saved by Playmaker , which surprised her . Playmaker reminded her their Duel was not over yet and let her go back on the D - Board . Outside the Data Storm , Ghost Girl thanked Playmaker , but stated that had nothing to do with the Duel . Playmaker brought out " Excode Talker " , and prevented Ghost Girl from using two of her remaining Monster Zones , thus sealing " Altergeist Kunquery ' s " effect . Ghost Girl was in shock with her monsters being unable to attack and was defeated by " Excode Talker ' s " two direct attacks . At the end of Duel , Ghost Girl watched the moon . Ai stated that was just data , though Ghost Girl replied dumb AI - s couldn ' t understand this feeling . With her defeat , Ghost Girl gave the backdoor link to Playmaker . She bid him farewell and walked away . Frog and Pigeon were recording the Duel , but Ghost Girl deleted that info , wishing that Duel to be a secret . In LINK VRAINS , Ghost Girl told Akira how she gave the program to Playmaker . Akira was furious , wondering what was Ghost Girl thinking . As a digital butterfly flew near them , Ghost Girl defended herself , reminding Akira also wanted to know more about the data in the mother computer , but had no authority after his demotion . Ghost Girl claimed that Kitamura would be held responsible , and would make his attempt to stop Playmaker . Akira noted if Playmaker was the decoy , nobody would notice their activities , and he grew more interested in his company ' s activities . Akira wished everything would go as planned , and logged out . Ghost Girl , however , stated the digital butterfly was actually Blue Angel , and offered her a chance to restore her reputation . Later , Akira and Emma were watching Playmaker ' s infiltration in the system on the latter ' s computer . Seeing Kitamura sent two AIs to Duel Playmaker , Akira and Emma logged into LINK VRAINS , and went deeper to access the data bank . Ghost Girl was glad Blue Angel came to the mother computer system , but Akira , shocked at this , thought Ghost Girl had some involvement . He went to save her , but Ghost Girl reminded him this was their only chance to find more about the incident , and pointed out Blue Angel was not a mere child . The two continued on , intending on reaching the data bank before Playmaker did . The two went through a light , where the data bank was located . They saw a pedestal with golden pillars , where the data about 10 years ago was located . Inside , Ghost Girl obtained a data diamond , and hid when Playmaker arrived . She asked Akira to hide as well , but he refused , even if she warned him he would spoil their plan . When Playmaker questioned Ghost Girl and Akira about why they were in the data bank , she explained they , were after the data as well . Ai thought Ghost Girl lost on purpose to hand them the backdoor route , but Ghost Girl corrected it that she still had the opportunity to obtain Ai . Regardless , she was fine with either outcome , making Ai curse her for being so cunning , which Ghost Girl took as a compliment . Akira challenged Playmaker , as the only way to stop him . Ghost Girl anticipated this , and noted Akira ' s deck was very tough . Seeing " Tindangle Angel " and " Tindangle Hound " , Ghost Girl compared them to Akira and Aoi - if Akira , who protects his sister , was to fall , Aoi was there to bring him back up - a bond that cannot be broken . Ghost Girl complimented Akira for summoning " Tindangle Acute Cerberus " during Playmaker ' s turn , as she continued watching the Duel . She noted Akira ' s cards protected his monsters , and that he would either win with " Gergonne ' s End " or by inflicting damage on Playmaker . When Playmaker withstood by using " Cynet Backdoor " , Ghost Girl thought Playmaker would have a direct attack on Akira . Akira prevented this with " Euler ' s Circuit " , and Ghost Girl thought he could deal 4500 LP damage with " Gergonne ' s End " on his next turn , and believed Akira would win . Still , Playmaker ' s " Firewall Dragon " defeated " Tindangle Acute Cerberus " , and lowered Akira ' s LP to zero . Ghost Girl was impressed by Playmaker , seeing nobody could calm his desire for revenge . With Playmaker logged out , Ghost Girl wished the Zaizens to be nice to each other , and logged out as well . Riding her motorcycle , she wondered who would buy the data she acquired . Another . Ghost Girl was in LINK VRAINS , when an eclipse blocking the virtual sun happened . She suspected the Knights of Hanoi were behind this , and thought of this as a new threat . At her hideout , Emma watched how Kitamura ' s army confronted the Knights of Hanoi . Emma was at a local café watching Go Onizuka duel a Knight of Hanoi on the news , as well as hearing the news that Blue Angel had not appeared in LINK VRAINS for some time . She met Aoi at Den City High School , telling her that she knew her identity as Blue Angel . At a nearby bridge , Emma asked if Aoi was done with her online persona , and then tells her that if she couldn ' t take full responsibility for her actions and only wanted to do things to please herself , then it would be fine if she stopped being Blue Angel . After the discussion , Emma rode away on her motorcycle , asking herself why she did that . Akira met up with Emma , reporting with the Knights of Hanoi gone , peace returned to LINK VRAINS . Emma wondered if Akira came here just to tell that , who reported despite the victory , SOL Technologies have been looking for more employees . Akira reminded that Knights of Hanoi wouldn ' t retreat that easily , and Varis was still out loose . Emma felt something was going on , in this peaceful era . This motivated Emma to search through LINK VRAINS for a treasure , and promised to sell it to Akira . Akira asked for a discount , as Emma promised to think about it . Later , Ghost Girl appeared in LINK VRAINS for her treasure hunt . She emitted data fireflies to help her in this search . She found Playmaker and Ai , who traced her data fireflies . Ghost Girl admitted she had a tip from someone about something going on in LINK VRAINS , and finding Playmaker , noted the tip was true . Ghost Girl admitted the data fireflies lead her to treasure , and were reliable , too . Playmaker warned her the path ahead was dangerous , and advised her to log out . Ghost Girl thought Playmaker would steal her treasure , explaining the greater the danger , the greater the reward . The data fireflies opened a path , though which Ghost Girl entered , and Playmaker joined in , too . The two walked in a data sewer , through which many unimportant data flew to a reprocessing plant . Playmaker was surprised Ghost Girl knew of this , who explained she was a treasure hunter that visited many virtual worlds . Finding a fork in the path , Ghost Girl saw her data fireflies went to the path on the right . Ai thought they could settle this with a game , which amused Ghost Girl , who credited the AI . Ai explained he had a name , and Ghost Girl thought his name was just a pun . Ghost Girl told the one that chose the " lovelier " card from her Deck could choose the path . Ai was confident in his skills , but had his doubts that Ghost Girl could cheat , who told there wasn ' t anything beneficial in that . Ghost Girl shuffled her Deck , and let Ai draw a card . Ai declared " Destiny Draw " , only to choose " Fake Trap " . Ghost Girl claimed the card was nothing her favorite , and didn ' t even choose to draw a card . She bid farewell to Ai and Playmaker , going to the path on the right . Ghost Girl continued , and saw the path led to the reprocessing plant , protected by a force field . Using a knife , Ghost Girl cut her way through , and found a big pulsing thing . She had her data fireflies gather information on the thing . She found out lots of energy poured into the thing . Using a rope , Ghost Girl went to a different position , only to find Varis , who was surprised by her arrival . Varis noted Ghost Girl was snooping again , who promised to leave . However , Varis raised the barrier , stating he can ' t let her leave this place . Ghost Girl used the rope to reach a different exit , but Varis barred the exits . Ghost Girl questioned Varis what would he do with her after she would be captured , suspecting she would be in trouble . Varis offered her a Duel to shape his Deck out , allowing her to leave if she would win . Ghost Girl attempted to leave , but Varis pointed out logging out was disabled . Being forced to Duel , Ghost Girl started off by summoning " Altergeist Marionetter " and setting " Altergeist Manifestation " . Ghost Girl was surprised to find Varis in the reprocessing plant , but swore to defeat him to inform others about what was going on . Ghost Girl noted Varis did not bring an AI for his Duel Disk , as Varis stated trusting an AI is foolish . Ghost Girl remembered Varis spoke that Ignis would destroy the world , but Varis ignored her , considering her as a mercenary that would not understand that . Ghost Girl reminded herself of Varis ' ace , and noted the longer the Duel lasted , the more she would be at a disadvantage . Varis quickly brought out " Topologic Bomber Dragon " , as Ghost Girl sensed Varis wanted to quickly end the Duel . " Topologic Bomber Dragon " attacked Ghost Girl ' s " Altergeist Marionetter " . To prevent this , Ghost Girl played " Altergeist Kunquery " to seal off its effects . Ghost Girl questioned Varis about the energy sphere , and Varis simply replied something unimaginable was bound to happen . Ghost Girl , using " Altergeist Silquitous " , returned " Altergeist Protocol " to remove " Topologic Bomber Dragon " from the field , displeasing Varis . Ghost Girl made her offense by Link Summoning " Altergeist Primebanshee " and reviving the " Altergeist Kidolga " she used as a Link Material for the latter ' s Summon , by using " Altergeist Materialization " . Ghost Girl ' s " Altergeist " monsters attacked Varis directly , dropping his LP to 400 , and even took Varis ' " Twin Triangle Dragon " to defeat him . Ghost Girl gloated in her victory , but Varis called her a fool . Playing a Trap Card , Varis negated the attack and destroyed all of Ghost Girl ' s Link Monsters . Ghost Girl realized Varis could ' ve simply played his card earlier to avoid damage , and all of that was just so he could activate his Skill . Varis mocked her for not being able to predict that , while Ghost Girl returned her " Altergeist Marionetter " to her hand . To prevent Varis from using his Skill , Ghost Girl activated her , Skill , Secret Cure , to at least raise Varis ' LP . Much to her displeasure , she drew the 0 ATK " Altergeist Kunquery " . Varis continued mocking her , stating luck has abandoned her . Ghost Girl planned her strategy to deal with Varis ' effects and attacks by using " Altergeist Protocol " . Varis Set Ghost Girl ' s card with " Red Reboot " , at the cost of halving his LP for using it from his hand . He also let Ghost Girl set a Trap Card from her Deck , but she was unable to use any Trap Cards during his turn . Ghost Girl still hoped in having the LP and field advantage , but Varis mocked her , claiming only darkness awaited her , from which she could not escape from . Varis used his own Skill , Storm Access , to obtain a new Link Monster , which emitted from the purplish sphere . Varis Link Summoned his new monster , " Topologic Trisbaena " , and used it to defeat Ghost Girl , who screamed as she fell off her D - Board . Playmaker swore to save her , but Ghost Girl claimed she was too pathetic for a professional . Instead , she gave Playmaker the data she acquired . Ghost Girl glowed with a red light , and started vanishing . She warned Playmaker about Varis and his new card before disappearing . Deck . Emma uses an " Altergeist " Deck . Her main tactic seems to swarm her field with monsters in order to set up various combos with Trap Cards . She tends to use the effect " Altergeist Marionetter " to set Traps directly to her field from her Deck , but will also use hand traps unexpectedly , such as the effect of " Altergeist Kunquery " , even when she has multiple face - downs on the field . Furthermore , she uses the effect of " Altergeist Primebanshee " to swap out her monsters for ones in her Deck , giving her various advantages over her opponents , depending on the moves that they make . As noted by Ai , this gives her a very solid wall of defense . When playing with Ai , Emma is shown to have another Deck that she keeps in a separate pocket that contains a copy of " Fake Trap " .
