### **Birth of Rush Duels Arc**

Romin's first debut was a scene of her meeting a female student on her way to the Goha 7th Elementary, which she was telling her about her band's new song was incredible. Romin spy on Yuga talking about new Dueling style called "Rush Duel" – taking pics of Yuga and Gakuto on her smartphone. Later on, Luke caught her red-handed and asking her if she is interested in becoming the Duel King. Romin rejects it by claiming that she isn't interested in Dueling, as she was practicing her guitar on the top floor, and asks if they were ok with it. She secretly takes pics of the Rush Duel between Yuga and Hologram Man on her smartphone with the caption "RUSH DUEL."

The next day at school, Romin watches Luke dragging Yuga beneath the desk as she notes that Goha Corp hasn't recognized Rush Duel. When Luke and Yuga disagree on how they should deal with how they approach Rush Duel, Romin suggests that they settle it through dueling. Along with others, she observed the duel – with Luke shockingly edging a victory over Yuga. She noted that their duel already become the main talking point on social media. When Luke accuses her of being one posting video of duel, she became irritated, protesting it wasn't her.

Another day walking to school, she snaps pics of Yuga and Luke, freaking out as Goha Corp may be observing them, to hurry up to class as she walks past them. Luke starts to suspect her as being Goha secret agents because she is always taking pics of them. From the behavior of her taking pics of them when dueling and her knowledge about duel programming, the gang found her suspicious and decided to find her secret. Yuga uses one of his inventions, known as a microphone attached to a fishing pole in front of her, to test truth and lies based on sound waves. However, this turns out a failure.

    Romin showed interest in Yuga's inventions. Yuga invited her to his Road Laboratory, which caused Romin's face to flush at being asked by the guy to his place. Yuga showed various of his inventions and asked Romin to try Rush Duel. After repeated instigation, Romin agreed to Yuga's request to duel using a spare deck. As the duel was reaching the end, Romin shocked Yuga and others by summoning her monster card "Prima Guitarna of the Colorful Light." Yuga still managed to defeat her bring her enjoyment of Rush Dueling. Yuga asks if she was spying on him and others, which she decided against it, though Yuga is not fully trusting her fan of innocence.

    Later, Luke brought up the idea of making a promo video of Rush Dueling to Yuga. Yuga agrees to this idea of recruiting Gakuto but Romin declined to sing the anthem. Yuga got Gakuto to sing it instead. Although Gakuto's tone-deafness lackluster showed in his singing on the anthem, Yuga and his classmates successfully produced. Yuga used Kaizo to hack into the net and like several thousand times to get the video trending. Yuga then suggested Rush Dueling Gakuto to further promoting it. However, Gakuto that he will ban it at school as it causing chaos in the environment. Romin watched Yuga challenged Gakuto into a Duel to decide on it. During the Duel, Yuga witnessed Gakuto's Sogestu style of dueling. The Duel enviably ended with Yuga's victory. Yuga added features into Kaizo to help Gakuto with School Council's workload.

While heading to School, Romin caught Yuga, Luke and Gakuto being interviewed by the Newspaper Club. She warns them the bad reputation of the Newspaper Club, sure enough it came true as Club wrote that Rush Dueling is very easy and childish. Romin looked on as Yuga and others went to get the article changed, but the Club's chief Bakuro Shinjitsu insist to decide it by a Rush Duel. Yuga was ready to take up the challenge, but Luke took the challenge instead. Yuga watched with Romin the duel as Luke toppled Bakuro. Keeping true their words, Yuga saw the next day a new article promoting Rush Duel.
