In the middle of the duel against [[Benchan]] in the national tournament, he learned that Benchan duels well is because of [[Katta Kirifuda|Katta]] inspiring him. He thought of Katta being an inspirational duelist in the world of Duel Masters when Katta displayed his confidence on the screen when the camera flashed to him. He then crushed the blue rose he thrown to the clock,surprising Benchan and the whole audience. Trying to overcome the limited time he had to duel after crushing the blue rose, he saw visions and he himself was surprised that the cards he draws and the shields are the same as the visions. During the duel, Benchan's ability to predict the cards Lucifer have on his hand and being able to perform double [[Dragsolution]] causes Lucifer to be pushed to the corner. Fortunately,his [[Valhalla Grande, Invincible Hero]] mana arms ability helps him to avoid his loss. He then understood what the visions means. Using the effects of [[Neverlast, Destiny Adoration]], he prevented Benchan from casting [[Spiral Hurricane, Hero Secret Technique]]. He replied that when Benchan relied on data,he himself relied on miracles,commanding a direct attack and winning the duel. After the duel,he was aware that [[Helen]] was hiding and said to her that there was no need to hide from him anymore.

During one of the events, he infiltrated the white castle, following the light from his card, Miradante, which the creature spirit was responding to the dark presence of Dokindam X. He duels Basara in order to end the organization plans of unleashing the same destructive power Zakira once had during Shobu's time and to protect the future of the Duel Masters World. However, he accidentally destroyed [[Red-End, Super Lightning Sonic]] due to its effect being changed from kanji to Forbidden characters and unwillingly helped Basara bring back the final Fire Command he needed to unseal Dokindam X. The outcome was unknown, with Lulu shedding tears upon sensing something wrong.

It was later revealed that he survived the deadly duel against Basara, either escaping from the falling bomb or being rescued by another secret ally (most likely Shobu). As a backup plan to find out the dark secrets of the park, he disguised himself as "Duewanko". Using his skills, he manages to leave Duenyanko and Duemouse out of the loop of attractors. He meets Katta and Lulu again in the card shop, still in his disguise. Despite that, he was able to help Katta duel Basara again and gave him valuable information about the workings within the park. He narrowly saves Katta from the blast when the duel table that Katta was dueling against Basara blows up and later witnessed Basara darkest desires: Revenge.

Gyou then recalls his ploy of poisoning Lucifer in the previous season and challenges him to another duel, taking him in the old arena where the tournament was held. While Gyou abused [[Gyogyou, Revolutionkind]] in combo with [[Mitsurugi Boost, Matchless Dragon Demon]] to counter Lucifer's spam, Lucifer saved himself from a direct attack with his new trump card [[Miracle Miradante]], and then he performed a Time Stop Duel with [[Miradante, Time Revolution]] and [[Miracle Stop]], avenging Katta and defeating Gyou for good. While it seemed that he and Katta had reconciled despite Katta disagreeing with him pretending to be dead and having them all worried, Lucifer punched him as a payback for the previous 2 punches he received from him.

Rival Katta Kirifuda

Lucifer, his full name Lucifer Takigawa was first introduced in the Duel Masters Versus season of the Duel Masters Anime. He was one of the prominent characters in the Versus saga.

He was Katta's rival in the Versus saga, later an ally to help Katta fight the organization within Duel Masters Land and later on the Rare Killers. His relationship with Katta mirrors Katta's brother Shobu Kirifuda's relationship with Hakuoh. He's Lulu Takigawa's older brother and Joe Kirifuda's maternal uncle.

Details

He has the ability of a genius, getting a diploma at a prestigious university in 5 years, having professional artistic and athletic skills, being an organizer of tea ceremonies and a skilled calligrapher, and has a license as a flower arranger, weather forecaster and cook.

Lucifer's alias is "A nobleman of the Blue Rose" with his trademark; the Blue Rose, which is called the "miracle of the dueling world". In the Versus Revolution season, he replaces it with a red rose, which represents the passionate duel he have with Katta.

It is possible for Lucifer to sense the "transcendence pitch" in a duel, to identify the cards' names, and to hear the cards during the shuffling of a deck. While Kojiro has a counter against his ability, he uses his 'Requiem Duel' ability to counter it instead. As he had trained hard, he had gained abilities to see the future turns actions during the duel, shown in episode 36 during the duel against Benchan. It can be countered however, as Katta has used unexpected moves against him, such as equipping Glenmalt "King" with Gaiheart and he cannot predict the proxy cards that his nephew created. Therefore, the future prediction ability may be based on his former experiences when dealing with such situations.

Despite being perfect in almost every sense, he has little time to duel due to his chronic heart disease. But he was able to handle a long duel with Kojiro in episode 16. In episode 36, he lifts his time limit to duel when he crushes the blue rose, which signify the time limit he have to duel. After returning from America, he does not need a time limit to duel anymore and lost his symphony duel ability. However, he was still a capable duelist, adopting a new style "Time Stop Duel" which involves restricting his opponent's chances of a counterattack. His elegant dueling style was similar to Hakuoh, which reminded Shobu of his best friend and Benny Haha of his greatest enemy.

He is also a strategic person, as he had made preparations to battle Duel Masters Land and Rare Killers, even preparing an underground base in the card shop. He might have knowledge about the events that made an impact to the Duel Masters World, even the events that existed in Shobu's time, trying to prevent the same events from happening again. This even extends to the point he did not think twice of destroying Dokindam X, though it might cost Basara his life. Like Katta and Shobu, he does not tolerate any behavior that involves breaking the duelist spirit. He also seems to have the ability to see through deceit, Shown as when he kept an eye on the interactions between Kazura and Lulu and giving Lulu a deck to counteract Kazura in case if things get wrong.

He is also very strong just like his sister and is shown to be able to punch Katta onto the other side of a building, and is shown to be immune to seduction by girls in the right cases as seen that he was defeating Utsubomi Kazura without any form of hesitation.

As an adult, he dotes his nephew Joe Kirifuda, in which Bucyake, Hokaben and Lucifer's crew noted on the difference in his usual personality. Similar to Shobu's circumstances due to being unable to spend time with Lulu in their childhood, Lucifer makes up most of his lost time.

Plot

History

Not much is known about his past, but he kept a close eye on his sister, Lulu Takigawa. At a young age, when Lulu was in the hospital, he gave her the 3D Dragheart card, which is hidden in the pouch necklace she wears. During the hospital visit, he says to her that they will be together to watch the fireworks. However, Lulu have lost her memory of him saying this promise.

Lucifer's research about Katta

Lucifer's research notes about Katta

It was revealed that Katta Kirifuda is the one that inspired Lucifer to be in the World of Duel Masters. When Lucifer was in the hospital due to his sickly condition when he was young, he watches Katta dueling against Onsen in a National Tournament by television in the hospital room. Dragon Ryu in his Ryusei Kaiser, the Eternal form fights alongside Katta and Katta defeats Onsen, becoming a National Champion. This inspired Lucifer to live on and engage himself in Duel Masters, considering it as fate. During his studies, he learns more about Katta through his duel profile, records and achievements, waiting to duel him in time to come.

Duel Masters Versus

He is the new rival of Katta Kirifuda, a famous person, "currently the strongest duelist in the world", who serves as the leader of the "Holy Angel Choir" of the Junior High School. Being a millionaire, Kojiro holds a hostile feeling towards him.

He first formally appears in episode 7 of the anime where he faces off against Katta and his Gaiginga, Passionate Star Dragon. He is aware of Katta's actions since the very first episode, when he witnessed the duel along with Kojiro. He visited Lulu when she was sleeping in the nursing room before the neighborhood tournament finals and placed a blue rose in the vase. During the duel with Katta, his skills overwhelms Katta. When he was about to command a direct attack,he collapses but shown some strong feelings to continue despite his condition. 

He organised the Lucifer World Cup and invited Katta and the rest of the Elite Four to be part of the competition.Before the tournament,he had watched all of Katta's previous duels and his victory. During his match against Benchan, he got a bit annoyed by Benchan's strategy of acting as a fool to win. Even though Benchan casts Pythagoras, Geometry Squadron 3 times by using Kiriko Cubic, First Model Dragon Emperor to remove Lucifer's Lionel, Lion Zenith Dragon, forcing him to sacrifice his shields by Lionel's effect, Lucifer's final shield, Seal Do Leiy, Protection Hero becomes a shield trigger by Lionel's effect, removing Benchan's Metal Avenger, Dragon Edge and Q.E.D., Dragon Elemental King from the battle zone. He blocked off Benchan's attempt to cast a shield trigger with Alcadeias D, Lord of Dragon Spirits and won. During the finals, he was surprised that Kojiro managed to devise a technique to counter his "transcendence pitch". However, he managed to hang on to the duel due to his desire to show Katta his dueling skills and to duel him again. Using his 'Requiem Duel' ability, he counters Kojiro's technique and win the duel.

Lucifer crushing the blue rose

In the middle of the duel against Benchan in the national tournament, he learned that Benchan duels well is because of Katta inspiring him. He thought of Katta being an inspirational duelist in the world of Duel Masters when Katta displayed his confidence on the screen when the camera flashed to him. He then crushed the blue rose he thrown to the clock,surprising Benchan and the whole audience. Trying to overcome the limited time he had to duel after crushing the blue rose, he saw visions and he himself was surprised that the cards he draws and the shields are the same as the visions. During the duel, Benchan's ability to predict the cards Lucifer have on his hand and being able to perform double Dragsolution causes Lucifer to be pushed to the corner. Fortunately,his Valhalla Grande, Invincible Hero mana arms ability helps him to avoid his loss. He then understood what the visions means. Using the effects of Neverlast, Destiny Adoration, he prevented Benchan from casting Spiral Hurricane, Hero Secret Technique. He replied that when Benchan relied on data,he himself relied on miracles,commanding a direct attack and winning the duel. After the duel,he was aware that Helen was hiding and said to her that there was no need to hide from him anymore.

He wrote a letter to Katta to tell him about the New Year event organized by the organizers of the Duel Masters National Tournament, the rules of the 3-on-3 New Year exhibition match and his teammates, which is Justice and Helen. He makes an appearance before the special match in front of the Saint Rose, Dragon Edge statue. During the team match,he eliminated his own sister,Lulu Takigawa from the match,leaving him and Katta left. Before Katta could declare an attack,the duel table blows up,interrupting the match. Lucifer then said that they will settle this duel in the tournament.

Lucifer and his followers watched the tournament round of Hokaben and Gyou. He paid attention to Hokaben's impressive battle and was surprised by Gyou's metamorphosis and his devilish dueling style. He was left alone in the school practice room, practicing on his skills and abilities. He noticed a message written on the wings of the moth and arrived to the location.He then received a video call and realized that Helen,Yohdel and Justice are kidnapped by Gyou. He run to the greenhouse of the botanical gardens to save them. He dueled Gyou in order to free them and was drove to the corner due to his condition and his inability to save his comrades. Fortunately,Katta and his friends arrived to help him and saves his comrades thanks to their quick thinking.With his renewed dueling spirit,he managed to defeat Gyou and fainted. Katta then held Lucifer up and he calms Katta's anger towards Gyou.

Before Lucifer's tournament round against Kojiro he found that something wrong within him. During their duel, Kojiro uses his boxing technique, which also hits Lucifer and his top was thorn off, revealing his top part of the body naked, which also pleases the audience and the mark appears on his body. When it was revealed that Gyou poisoned him before the official match,he was shocked by the revelation and decided to continue the match despite this dangerous situation,calling it his finale and asked Kojiro to give it all he got. He was defeated by Kojiro and he fainted after the poison was spread to his body,contended that he was able to finish the match.

He was sent to the hospital after the match and was treated quickly as his was on critical condition. His trump cards got stolen by Gyou. Justice gives Katta one of Lucifer's cards, MaltNEXT, Super Battle Dragon Edge for him to use. Helen stays with Lucifer in the hospital room. During Katta's match against Gyou,Lucifer's soul temporary leaves his body to help Katta and Katta saw him in his match. Lucifer then pointed out to Katta on MaltNEXT other ability, in which he uses its Dragon Mana Arms ability to defeat Gyou and win the duel. After the duel, Lucifer's soul returns to his own body and he woke up with the mark gone, saying to Helen he is back and was happy that it was all over.

He watches the finals of the national tournament with Yohdel, Helen and Justice in the hospital room. He was given third place in the finals despite not having a match due to Gyou's evil doings being exposed by Katta and his brother, Shobu Kirifuda. He prepares his deck in the hospital room, preparing himself for his duel against Katta and revealing the truth to Lulu. He asks Yohdel, Helen and Justice to guide his sister, Lulu to him after putting his thoughts on how Katta had changed his life. He watches Lulu dueling Helen and have a teary reunion with her after Lulu won. He sees a future vision again and knew that dueling Katta will be his last duel.

He was introduced as a new student in Katta's class and participated in different school activities. He became popular among the students in the school, which causes Katta to become jealous. In the card shop, he greets his grandfather and explains to Lulu about their parents whereabouts. He was shown around the town and Dragon Ryu's oden shop to try his oden. During the party in the card shop, he explained to Katta about what actually happened during his duel against Benchan and the time in his duel against Kojiro. He also told Katta the exact cards used in play in his final duel. The final duel was set with Lulu playing the piano.

During the final duel, Lucifer was able to know Katta's future action and cards that he might draw. However, in the following turns, Lucifer's foreseen future was contradicted as Katta uses cards and actions that are not in his prediction. He have shown signs of having fun despite knowing that his life might end and for years, he entered the dueling world as a way to forget about it. But Katta proved him wrong as he had went through the same situation. After the final blow and Lucifer lost, as this had contradicted his predictions and foreseen future, he did not die in the end, which relieves everyone watching the match. He along with Helen, Yohdel and Justice went overseas to meet Shobu's old friend, Dr. Root.

Duel Masters Versus Revolution

As of episode 1 of the season, he was still in America based by Katta's information. Before leaving, he gave Lulu a card Glory Snow.

Lucifer's appearance in Versus Revolution

Appearance in Versus Revolution

After returning to Japan, he got the news of the card shop Lulu and his grandfather was working was in danger. He arrived just in time by helicopter and throws a red rose close to Basara to halt the duel. He then greets Katta upon his return and participates in the Star Cup events.

He lives with Lulu and his grandfather after the incident involving Basara and Duel Masters Land. At one time, he dueled Matarou who was responsible for the incidents involving Haraguro X and Lena being the victims of the crime. He won the match by using his new Revolutionary trump card, Miracle Star, Revolution Heaven King and received points based by the Star Cup rules, with his opponent being escorted away by the Duel Police. He revealed to Katta that he had been investigating the dark secrets within Duel Masters Land related to the Invaders and Revolutionaries, while possessing one of the sealed Revolutionary spell cards, similar to Dogiragon.

He even prepared a secret base in the card shop underground to prepare the team for challenges to come as the underworld from Duel Masters Land had taken drastic measures against them. During his analysis, he shows Katta one of their dark secrets of a player losing to one of the underworld members Basara and the loser's deck being destroyed by Rambo under the shadow. Lucifer also suspected their dark intentions, even though he did not know much and gave Katta Iron Fist of Revolution to prepare for the approaching danger. After Benchan was snapped out of his brainwashing caused by the underworld, Lucifer explains that it might be their work. He and his followers also helps the participants whose decks were destroyed by Rambo during the Star Cup Event.

Before the end of the summer holidays, he allows Katta and his friends to use the school's library to study. Their studies were interrupted by Basara's arrival. Lucifer accepted Basara's challenge, with the president of the park making use of a robot as a method of communication agreed to the conditions set. He delays Basara's prediction to win in 3 turns and reveals his 'Time Stop Duel' ability. Using his new-found ability, he was able to delay his loss, much to Basara's frustration. Using his new trump cards, Miradante, Time Revolution and Rockinstar, Time Dragon, he was able to hold Basara out of options to counterattack and rendered his shields useless. Despite his win, he was punched on the face by Katta as Katta was furious by the aftermath of the duel, in which the President of the park destroys Basara's motorbike as part of the deal in the duel.

During one of the events, he infiltrated the white castle, following the light from his card, Miradante, which the creature spirit was responding to the dark presence of Dokindam X. He duels Basara in order to end the organization plans of unleashing the same destructive power Zakira once had during Shobu's time and to protect the future of the Duel Masters World. However, he accidentally destroyed Red-End, Super Lightning Sonic due to its effect being changed from kanji to Forbidden characters and unwillingly helped Basara bring back the final Fire Command he needed to unseal Dokindam X. The outcome was unknown, with Lulu shedding tears upon sensing something wrong.

It was revealed that before he deals with the organization, he left a message to Katta and his team in the underground base to warn them about the Forbidden Legend card, the card that causes destruction in the Duel Masters World in Katta's brother time. He also instructed Helen to give his deck to his sister in order to protect her the night before he left.

Duewanko

Lucifer in his "Duewanko" Disguise.

It was later revealed that he survived the deadly duel against Basara, either escaping from the falling bomb or being rescued by another secret ally (most likely Shobu). As a backup plan to find out the dark secrets of the park, he disguised himself as "Duewanko". Using his skills, he manages to leave Duenyanko and Duemouse out of the loop of attractors. He meets Katta and Lulu again in the card shop, still in his disguise. Despite that, he was able to help Katta duel Basara again and gave him valuable information about the workings within the park. He narrowly saves Katta from the blast when the duel table that Katta was dueling against Basara blows up and later witnessed Basara darkest desires: Revenge.

He aided Katta and his friends during their assault of the Duema Land Fortress, dueling Chuu-yan to rescue them when they were caught. Even though he nearly decked out due to Adamski, S-Rank Space, he used a combo of Ultra Star, Revolution Holy Dragon and two Emeralda, Pitch Dragon Elemental to bring out his trumps Rockinstar and Miradante, performing a successful Time Stop Duel. Oddly enough, Katta and his friends did not notice Duewanko's strong similarities to Lucifer.

When Gyou reveals that he was still working with Benny Haha (who was actually the Duema Land President), he jumped to defend Katta from a missile fired by Benny's robot and blew off his disguise. He was embraced by his sister for making it out alive. Lucifer then revealed that after Basara defeated him and the president's robot dropped a bomb on him, he fell but his suit's cape got caught in a pipe, saving him from death. Then he put on the Duewanko mascot's suit to work undercover and discover the Duema Land Conspiracy.

Gyou then recalls his ploy of poisoning Lucifer in the previous season and challenges him to another duel, taking him in the old arena where the tournament was held. While Gyou abused Gyogyou, Revolutionkind in combo with Mitsurugi Boost, Matchless Dragon Demon to counter Lucifer's spam, Lucifer saved himself from a direct attack with his new trump card Miracle Miradante, and then he performed a Time Stop Duel with Miradante, Time Revolution and Miracle Stop, avenging Katta and defeating Gyou for good. While it seemed that he and Katta had reconciled despite Katta disagreeing with him pretending to be dead and having them all worried, Lucifer punched him as a payback for the previous 2 punches he received from him.

Even though Katta had ended the war and the grudge that was held on Shobu's enemy Benny Haha that lasted for more than 10 years, he was aware that Basara still has Dokindam X on hand. He knows that he has to fight in the upcoming war against the organization "Rare Killers".

Duel Masters Versus Revolution Final

When Katta temporarily removes the plaster on his forehead, one of his cards, Doremi, Time 1 was affected by the power that was emitted from Katta's "Victory Mode" and Lucifer noticed the process while he was in school.

He later spies on the Rare Killers by using a mini remote controlled helicopter. However, he was eventually found out when Basara destroyed the helicopter, but satisfied that he got the information he needed. He eventually met up with Katta, revealing that he knew that Hamukatsu and Bosskatsu were creatures capable of Revolution Change. He reveals his creature partner, Doremi who was one of the creatures affected by Katta's Victory Mode. He displays his own Revolution Change, which was eventually on TV and the Rare Killers witnessed the duel.

He visits the card shop to explain the information he has found about the Rare Killers. He also informed Basara's involvement in the group and about Katta's 'Victory Mode' being the cause of Dokindam X powers increasing.

He was involved in getting information about the duelists with creature spirit partners. One of the duelists he found was Utsubomi Kazura and her partner Acme. He assigned Doremi to find out more about them. He watched on the sidelines of Katta dueling Kojiro and immediately recognizes Dorballom, Lord of Demons as legendary duelist Kyoshiro Kokujo's ace card in Shobu's generation.

One day Katta's school was attacked by all existing Rare Killers members save for Officer Serious and Ta-Kun and Katta was about to confront Basara and Number 2. However, before Katta can confront them, Dobin Sensei interrupts and prompts Lucifer to fight Basara, casuing Lucifer to drop from the sky. Before he confronts Basara, he punches Katta in the face causing him to go onto the other side of the building. During the duel, he sent out all of Team Doremi in their new form and also sent out Generarose, Red Rose Dragon Elemental for a chain, but Basara gained the upper hand and used Dokindam Area, Forbidden of D's Denjara Switch to Forbidden liberate Dokindam X.

Lucifer and Lulu tending Katta

Lucifer and Lulu tending Katta, who was knocked out by Dokindam X's power

Fortunately, Lucifer uses a Revolution 0 Trigger --- Philosopher's Emblem in order to avoid a direct attack, much to the relief of the group. He summons his new dragon, Miradante Twelve, Time Pope through Revolution Change with Sido Twelve, Time 3. With Miradante's Final Revolution and secondary skill, complete with Judgment Time and Final Stop, he lockdown Basara's chances for a counterattack. He did not care for Basara's welfare as long as it was a way to protect the Duel Masters World and command a direct attack, despite that this might cost his opponent's life. However, this was interrupted by a lighting bolt directly onto the table with Basara and Number 2 gone. When Katta's "Victory Mode" unconsciously activates, leading to him fainting, Lucifer rushed to Katta's side, theorizing that Dokindam X must have affected him too. He watched in shock that Basara and Number 2 made it out alive with a sphere holding the True Forbidden, which matches Katta's vision.

He then invites Katta and his friends to investigate the Rare Killers only to have his base invaded by Number 2. While he successfully locked down Number 2 using Miradante Twelve, Time Pope and Judgment Time, Number 2 got around the lock by sending out creatures For No Cost using All for One, Machine of D and Wild Speed, D2W, which causes his defeat as Number 2 takes 2 Extra Turns via VV-8, Forbidden Machine. Number 2 then proceeds to take away Miradante 12 to power up FORBIDDEN ~Star of Forbidden~.

He then was thought dead, only to return to Lulu's card shop to become a clerk for one day.

Lucifer, Katta, Lulu and Leo in school

Lucifer relaying the recent events regarding Dokindam X

A day after the Scarlet Moon event, Lucifer relays the event to Katta and the Revolutionary Team duelists about the possibility of Dokindam X rising. He was hiding in a tree when witnessing Kazura's true nature as a member of the Rare Killers, not tolerating her act of breaking his sister's duel spirit.

Finally, one day when Kazura lured Katta and co. into her home and tied lulu up with vines, Kazura used the Miradante Twelve, Time Pope to blackmail Katta and co. but Lucifer came in and hit her with a rose, startling her and allowing Doremi to pick up the card. Angered, she challenges Lucifer to a duel but Lucifer used World Stop to stop Mad Dead Wood, Seductive of D and Kazura used Doguraeater, D2M2 to destroy his creatures. However, he sent out Miradante Twelve, Time Pope and defeated Kazura, then persuades her to lead them to the rare killers base where Rokuro is seen to be the last regular member leaving the base and before he leaves, he warns that Basara is no longer human and a broken red duel phone which Basara once owned appears near him.

During Christmas Eve, he and Leo Hyakujuu analyzed the data they have collected about the approaching Dormageddon X, Forbidden Armageddon. During the time Leo decided to deliver the item that Jigoro Akagiyama have entrusted to him in order to give Basara a closure during Zero Day, Lucifer pointed out that it might be impossible as Basara might no longer be human. He received a phone message from Hakase and Rambo about Basara's location, though they were too late as Basara was fully mutated and shoots out to space. He and Yohdel arranged a spacecraft for the team to get to Katta, who was launched into space first. He even justifies Katta's claims that the future is what was meant to be made by yourself, opposing Basara nihilistic views of the world. After the final battle was over with Katta's and Team Hamukatsu's victory, he bids farewell to the creature spirits who have to return to the creature world.

7 years after the defeat of Dormageddon X, he attends his sister's wedding together with his parents and grandfather. After the ceremony, he and the other guests were shocked upon Katta's revelation that Joe Kirifuda is his son, making Joe his nephew.

Lucifer and Joe

Lucifer gives Joe a shoulder ride

Over the years he became a musical conductor and celebrity. During one of Joe's visits in order to find his father, Lucifer gives Joe a shoulder ride and observes him drawing a new support card for Jolly the Johnny Joe, then Joe challenges him to a duel.

In the duel, he has the ability to read all of Joe's moves and cards and dragsolutioned Neverend, True Destiny King which reawakened his chronic illness, but he shrugged it off after a while. However, he fails to read Joe's self-created card which he shows off, then in his turn which stopped all of his creatures and sent out Yattareman and Jolly the Johnny Joe only to have Lucifer uses a Revolution 0 Trigger Philosopher's Emblem to stop his attack. He then retaliates with Miradante Twelve, Time Pope, Judgment Time and Final Stop and defeated him, but he thanks him for the duel anyway.
