Ready for the Rush (Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links OLR Rush Duels: Sept-Oct 2023)

In late Sept 2023, a new duel world was premiered, Yu-gi-oh Sevens. It was supposedly the lighter spinoff compared to the previous one, VRAINS. It involves a fifth grader who finds the current format too ridiculous with the rules, so he made a new duel format, Rush Duels, and his adventures involving those who want them shut down like Goha Corporation, the corporate entity that controls Goha City from food to Duel Monsters (right down restricting how Duelist can trade cards). It's like Speed Duels, the previous format, except for the following:
Draw Phase: You make a 30-40 card deck, and the starting player gets to draw. You draw until you get five cards in your hand or one if you have at least five already. Failed to do so, like if you have two on hand and you have less than three in the deck by the Draw Phase, and you'll lose due to deck out. There's no Standby Phase in a Rush Duel.
Main Phase: Unlimited Normal Summons, but you can't manually place them although it's pointless, so Tribute Summoning is the main focus here. There is an Extra Deck, but it'll come much later in the series, like near the end. The effects are simpler with requirements and effects. There are some spells and traps, but there are no equip spells, quick play spells, or counter traps. There's also Legend cards, which are based on classic cards like Dark Magician, Shield & Sword, and Widespread Ruin; but you can only have up to one Legend monster, spell, and trap per deck.
Battle Phase: Nothing different other than you start with 6000 LP instead of 4000.
End Phase: There's no card limit on hand.
Here are my best online ranked Rush Duels of September to late October 2023. It took almost 4 hours to create this.
0:16 Yuga (R) vs. Utopic Reyes (Luke/R) [Sept 29th 2023]
For some reason, it didn't display the rank in the replay on the duels at the time of recording. Yuga Ohdo is the MC in Sevens. At 11 at the start, he's the youngest protagonist in Yugioh; Yuma was 13. His main type is Spellcaster, especially involving the Sevens Road archtype. I made a deck with as many cards as he has lines, mostly spellcasters, with some staples.
4:43 Luke (R) vs. Deep walnut (Yuga/R) [Sept 30th 2023]
Lucidien "Luke" Kallister (Tatsuhisa "Luke" Kamijo) is the ambitious best friend of the Sevens series. His main type is dragons, mainly on dragons that can attack twice each turn and destroy spells and traps that might prevent that. I made a deck full of dragons.
10:32 Gavin (R) vs. KurokiKemono (Yuga/R) [Sept 30th 2023]
Gavin Sogetsu (Gakuto Sogetsu) is the disciplined 6th grade student council president of Goha 7th Elementary, the school Yuga and company go to. Like Gong, he has his own dueling code, which he later adapted for modernization. Although a lot of his monsters are warriors, he has various types, and his ace, Yamiruler the Dark Delayer, can prevent both players from Tribute Summoning level 7 or higher monsters.
14:43 Romin (B) vs. Stellanova (Luke/B) [Oct 2nd 2023]
Romin Kassidy (Romin Kirishima) is the female main protagonist of Sevens and guitarist of the school band RoaRomin. Her main type is psychics, especially those that manipulate her own LPs to activate her cards, from spending LPs to requiring as few LPs as possible.
22:54 Yuga (B) vs. Jeff Elohim (Yuga/B) [Oct 2nd 2023]
Due to a corrupted video file, the sound later on was out of sync, so I have to edit the sound separate.
27:53 Gavin (B) vs. MEIORUIM (Gavin/B) [Oct 4th 2023]
Longest duel of the set.
41:22 Mimi (B) vs. yimi (Luke/B) [Oct 6th 2023]
Mimi Imimi (Mimi Atachi) was the first character event for Sevens. Despite looking young enough to infiltrate Yuga's school as a transfer student, she's a 37-year old mother of Yosh [Yoshio] (a Rush Duel-loving 4th grader of Goha 7th and one of five exclusive NPCs). She's also one of the six executives of Goha Corporation. Mimi played three themed decks, but the first and most known is the Bubble Era deck, a deck of Light Aqua monsters that's based on classic monsters themed around the Bubble Era (Japan's economic bubble of 1986-1991).
51:18 Yuga (B) vs. Kidd (Yuga/B) [Oct 13th 2023]
55:33 Luke (B) vs. OtreBLaS[Br] (Gavin/B) [Oct 13th 2023]
1:08:56 Gavin (B) vs. eva001 (Luke/B) [Oct 16th 2023]
1:17:07 Outro
