Oh, yeah!
Looking good!
Gimme more! More!
Okay, a bit less.
Perfect!

Princess G!
I can't believe the Princess G
just heard my song!
You're like my hero!
Uh, thanks.
So, I knew you could play
the guitar
but you sing, too?
Yeah, I mean,
I don't know
if I'm actually any good.
I really only just started.
But I find I can't stop writing
all these new songs now!
Wow. With all that work,
how do you even find time
to Rush Duel?
[Romin] Rush Duel?
What's a Rush Duel?
-[Princess G gasps]
-[Romin] Uh, is everything okay?
Uh, yeah.
Romin, do you know
my motto in life?
Of course.
It's to never give up
on what you love.
That's right, and I know one
of your loves is music.
So how about I produce
your next single?

[upbeat rock music plays]
That was awesome!
She's so good!
I'm rockstar-struck!
Great video!
Romin sure did sound amazing!
I've never seen her happier.
[upbeat electronic

[music ends]
[bright, cheery music plays]
Romin can really sing.
I mean, not as good as me...
but who is?
[Yuga]
I'm really happy for her!
[Luke] Well, I'm not.
C'mon, Luke,
don't be like that.
You gotta admit
she's rockin' it.
She's supposed to rock it
on the duel field too.
You ever see her smile like that
when she was dueling?
She does seem to love
her new life.
But if her memories come back,
it could change that.
She's gonna insist on
giving up her solo career
to help us battle
against Yuga Goha,
but do we want Romin to do that?
Well, no.
[Yuga] Hm.
But that's not the real Romin.
What do you mean?
That's not even
her real smile, bro!
[all] Uh...
[Luke]
It's a frown that's upside down!
-It's a silent scream for help!
-[gasps]
"Help, I miss dueling!"
I think I need some help too
with this headache.
[Luke] Romin can't be Romin
unless Romin is Romin!
And Romin can't be Romin unless
we get Romin's memories back.
I'm gonna march to the studio
and bring her back here!
-Uh...
-[Luke] Who's with me?!
Uh, bro?
You think he'll succeed?
I don't think he even knows
where the studio is.
Yeah, I didn't think so either.
Well, Luke, all I can say
is good luck.
♪ Are you ready?

This is my first guitar.
I'd like you to have it.
[gasps]
Are you kidding me?
You wrote over a dozen
smash hits with that guitar!
There's no way I can accept it.
-Mm-mm.
-It's fine, Romin, it's yours.
I'm sure you'll write
many new hits with it.
New hits for the new you.
A you that's different
than before.
A new me?
What do you mean?
How am I... new?
[Luke] Am I being selfish?
If Romin's happy,
shouldn't I be happy for her?
Even if she doesn't remember
everything we went through.

Ah!

Romin! I'm having my

-[fan 6] She rocks!
[groaning angrily]
[dramatic rock music plays]
[bright melody plays]
Romin! I'm your biggest fan!
Nuh-uh! I am, pal!
Why would Romin want
either of you to be her fan?
I think she'd want someone
who has taste in dueling!
What's wrong with
Apocalypse Duels, huh?
Nothing. Just that it's not
as good as Ramen Duels.
You mean Newspaper Duels!
You think I can't b*at noodles
or paper?
How 'bout we battle to see
whose duel is the best!
[all] Let's do this!
[gentle music plays]
[huffs]
[gasps]
[Luke] Romin's Duel Guitar.
[Scoop] Rush Duel Club?
Since when did our school
have a club like this?
[gasps]
[door creaks]
Aww, bro. You three lost
your memories too?
Memories?
What are you talkin' about?
Hm?
You know, it looks like
you're really into dueling.
So how about joining
the Goha Gazette?
-The Gazette?
-Out of the millions of duels
that are out there,
we want to show the whole world
that Newspaper Duels
are the best duels in the game!
[Masa] So for the record,
will you confirm
you'll be joining
the Goha Gazette
and destroy
every other duel out there?
C'mon, Scoop.
You used to duel for fun,
not to prove which duel's best.
Duel for fun?
When have I ever said that?
You must be thinking
of someone else
because I've always dueled
to prove that I'm the best.
Because winning
is the only thing that matters.
This isn't you, Scoop!
I want you to be you!
The real you!
[dramatic music plays]
Just like I want Romin to be...
Romin.
[exclaiming]
-Hey, Scoop.
-Huh?
I'll duel you, bro.
What do ya say?
You ready?
Of course, and as you say,
this will be fun...
when I defeat you!
[dramatic music plays]
-You ready?
-Let's duel!
[both] Get ready for the rush!
I'm going to go first. I draw!
I'll start things off by
summoning Scoop Scooter!
[shrieking]
Then I'll use Scoop Scooter
to Tribute Summon
Clean Machine Newsweeper!
-Whoa.
-Say cheese!
[growls]
I return Scoop Scooter
from my graveyard
to my deck to activate
Newsweeper's effect!
I send the top two cards in
my deck to the graveyard,
and if one of them happens to be
an Earth Attribute Machine-Type
monster,
I get to retrieve
my Scoop Scooter!
Which I'll summon again
and tribute again
to have my Reporter Raccoon
report to the scene.
[giggling]
[cooing]
Next, I'll send her
to the graveyard
to activate her effect!
She brings Printing Presser
back from my graveyard
in defense position!
[growls]
Reporter Raccoon also returns
Scoop Scooter to my hand.
Next, I'll send the top card
in my deck to the graveyard
to activate
Printing Presser's effect!
Show me five cards in your deck!
Here they are.
That's what I like to see!
Because for every monster
that you showed me,
my Printing Presser
gains 100 att*ck points!
But lucky for you,
I'm not allowed to att*ck
on my first turn.
[grunts angrily]
And those five cards
you showed me?
You can put them at the bottom
of your deck.
Now I'll summon Scoop Scooter
for a third time!
Then I'll tribute it
and Newsweeper
to Tribute Summon
a second Printing Presser!
[growls]
I activate Reprinter
to bring back
a third Printing Presser!
[growls]
I end my turn.
All right, bro.
Ha!
First I summon Draco the Tiny
and Dragon Bat!
Next, I'll use them both
to Tribute Summon!
Oh yeah! Seven stars collide
to burst into a supernova!
You're not ready for this!
You're so not ready for this!
I say it twice because this
monster strikes twice as hard!
Rise into the light,
Multistrike Dragon Dragias!
[shrieks, growls]
I remember when Romin
first saw Dragias.
She loved it so much she even
made a curry out of it.
A tasty one too.
Romin doesn't remember
any of that anymore.
But I do.
Remember what?
Can you clarify for our readers?
I'm not here to give
an interview, bro!
No problem! We'll just do
a photo spread instead!
[shutter snapping]
[growls]
I send Miragias from my hand
to the graveyard
to activate Dragonic Gias!
It destroys one
of your Printing Pressers!
And then, all of the monsters
that are on your field
lose 2500 att*ck points!
[gasps]
-No...
-[Luke] Next, I send
the top card
in my deck to the graveyard
to activate Dragias's effect!
It can att*ck twice this turn!
Double Doom!
Dragias,
take out his Printing Presser!
Concussive Electrostatic
Shockball!
Not good!
[both] Oh no!
Scoop's in trouble.
With one last att*ck,
this duel is over, Scoop!
Dragias, get ready!
No!
-Care to comment?
-[groans]
Any final words?
Just three, actually.
I'm gonna lose!
All right, finish him, Dragias!
Inferno of Infinite Destruction!
[whimpers]
[intense dramatic music plays]
[groans]
[all screaming]
[all gasp]
[all] I remember... everything.
[dramatic music plays]
[Yujin] Whoa. What's Yuo doing?
[Yuran] He's seeing
if there are other copies
of the Book of Sevens
around the world.
[Yuro gasps]
There are other copies
out there?
[Yuro] Yes, we're not
the only ones
with a copy
of the Book of Sevens.
[Yuka] If we can gather
all those other copies,
we can find out
what's written on the pages
that are missing from our book!
I'm on it!
I'll go get those books
and be back before dinner.
Breakfast at the latest!
[dramatic music plays]
[fan 1] Oh, we got
such good seats!
Guess Luke's not coming.
[Kaizo] Romin! Romin!
[fan 2] I'm so excited!
[overlapping chatter]
-[lights click off]
-[fan 3] It's starting!
-It's starting! It's happening!
-[fan 4] It's happening!
I've been waiting all day
for this!
[fan 5] Romin, I love you!
[overlapping chatter]
[Kaizo] Romin! [laughs]
[Gavin] Looks like
she's not playing
with her Duel Guitar anymore.
She said it was a present
from Princess G.
New life, new guitar, I guess.
Hm.
Thank you!
You don't know how much
it means to me
that you're all here tonight!
Ready to rock?
-[crowd cheers]
-Awesome!
I have to admit,
I'm a little nervous
because this is my
first ever solo concert,
but I've been dying to share
my new songs with you!
[crowd cheering]
For someone who says
she's nervous,
she's hiding it really well.
She's a natural.
-[loud guitar chord resonates]
-Ha!
[upbeat rock music plays]
-What did you say?
-I said my duel's the best!
-It's not even close!
-You wish!
No fighting, you two!
They're arguing about
which duel's the best.
Been a lot of that lately.
I wish they'd just enjoy
the concert.
-[grunts]
-Now don't do anything rash.
-Huh?
-Hey!
Keep it down, would ya?!
You're wrecking the show!
-Huh?
-Time to teach some manners.
-[boy 1] Newspaper Duels!
-[boy 2] Apocalypse Duels!
[boy 3] Ramen Duels
are the best!
[boy 1] Newspaper Duels!
-[boy 2] Apocalypse!
-[boy 3] Ramen!
[boy 4] I'm really
into Penguin Duels.
Anyone else? Anyone?
[drones] Warning! Warning!
Stop! Stop!
[slowly intensifying
dramatic music plays]
[Luke] Enough!
Huh?
[all gasp]
[grunts]
This isn't the time or the place
to argue whose duel's the best!
None of you are wrecking
Romin's big night!
-[gasps]
-Yeah, Luke!
You have two ears and one mouth,
so you're supposed to listen
twice as hard!
[thunderous rumbling]
[zapping]
[Romin gasps]
Hey! Look over there.
Scoop, Saburamen, Yosh.
The g*ng's all here!
Looks like they got
their memories back.
We sure did,
and it's all thanks to Luke.
Yes, Scoop is correct.
[Briscoe] Luke dueled each
and every one of us
to restore our memories
and make us remember
that we're all friends again.
Luke's grade A wagyu
in my book.
You must stop
this senseless fighting
over which duel is the best!
All duels are wonderful,
just like all flavors of sushi
are delicious.
I agree. So please stop
noodling around.
Every duel is great
and that's front page news!
[all sigh]
Nice.
Now on with the show.
Romin... it's time to rock it!
[gentle music plays]
[grunts]
Luke...
Romin, all your friends
are here to hear ya!
[gasps]
[Romin] My friends...
[upbeat, hopeful music plays]
I...
I remember...
I remember...
everything.

[man 1] What's up?
Is she okay?
[man 2] Why isn't she playing?

She's just standing there.

Yuga... Roa... and Gavin...

-Hm.

Yuga, Roa, and Gavin!
[all gasp]
And you, Luke...
I'm so sorry.
You are all
my closest friends...
and yet, I still forgot
all about you.
-Please forgive me.
-[all] It's fine, Romin.
You're in this huge fight
to save Rush Duels
but I wasn't there to help.
Yet, you still had my back.
[chuckles knowingly]
Let me end this concert
so I can get back to dueling.
Oh, you will do no such thing.
You cannot leave in the middle
of your big debut!
But Princess G,
my friends need me.
Romin, you love to perform
and play music!
How can you give up
what you love
after you worked so hard
to get here?
But if you really want to leave,
be my guest.
Princess G...
But only if you can
defeat me in a Rush Duel!
