Romin: Roa's late for practice again. Getta: How did this happen? I called him at 8 o’clock this morning and pretended it was 11. Romin: I printed up a fake schedule for him saying we were starting at 9 instead of noon. Ushiro: I set his clock to say PM when it’s really AM. Getta: We... may have overdone it. Roa bursts through the door Roa: wHAT YEAR IS IT?

   As baffling and nonsensical as it was, Nail was of that certain age where he was thinking about the opposite sex. With much regret, of course. He had been so focused, so dedicated but now, he was scribbling love-hearts and names in his notebooks.

   Reflecting upon his life thus far, Nail had always been so lonely, so isolated, and he did not mind that one bit. He had more than enough with his toys, his hobbies, he didn’t need anyone else except for me, myself, and I. He had turned it into a point of pride. He was a human boy who was a machine who was a human boy. So for that facade to crack and for him to accept friendship into his once lonesome life, it was scary to transition from one identity to the next. 

   For that to evolve into fascination with girls, oh, Nail was humiliated. It was embarrassing, there was no other way to describe it. He, of all people, was reduced to a loverboy because of one Kirishima Romin.

   She was fierce and sassy, driven and determined, full of quirks and could prove to be quite unpredictable.

   She was everything that Nail disliked about humanity. The way they malfunctioned and caused dysfunction or mayhem. Romin was hot and cold based on her mood and her mood was based on what she had or hadn’t eaten recently. She got into hijinks all the same as their other friends and was never afraid to spearhead it either. That entropy was discordant like the metal music that she played and Nail disliked it heavily, or so he thought.

   After all, Romin was much more than her faults, varied and eclectic as they were.

   Romin embodied much of its beauty, too. Nail would concede that much, and perhaps even with a small smile on his face due to his crush. She was a well-decorated musician and for good reason, her understanding of the art was nothing less than prodigal given her age. RoaRomin’s music, for quite some time, had been just noise to Nail, bits and pieces that he could unpick like mathematics but ultimately not to his taste.

   Not anymore.

   Now he was scrying the lyrics for hidden meanings. He was linking together the themes and motifs to the instrumentals, keenly aware of Romin’s hand in the mix. Whether she was providing ideas, lyrics, or just her guitar work, it had Nail scrambling like a treasure hunter through the boundless interpretations of music. He felt insane as he made the switch from disinterest to utter obsession.

   All because he pined, he yearned, he… crushed on Kirishima Romin.

   Their interactions were few and far between, often fleeting. Nail was out of school and she still had to play by the bell. But when their paths did bisect, Nail was always amused. A little happier than he might have otherwise been. Seatbastian detected a difference in demeanour but never said anything - thank goodness. Maybe it was because human interaction was good for him, maybe not.

   The crew that Romin belonged to was a cantankerous and often bizarre bunch but hey, he was a part of it too and he was both those things as well. It felt good to belong. To have people he cared about. To have new interests opened up to him.

   He wouldn’t have thought of that alone.

   He would have stared at the walls, at the blank space and knew there was something missing. A puzzle piece that would be required to fill that slot. Unlike with Rush Duels and the Maximum Summon, the glaring obviousness was not apparent to Nail this time.

   How should he approach feelings as frantic as young love?

   Especially when his gratitude ought to begin at friendship, with Yuga, not just Romin but Luke and Gakuto also. Even Roa. They all became quite the ensemble together. Yuga opened that blank space and now, it appeared, music decorated much the same as vibrations decorated sound and paintings decorated space. 

   But the question still remained and the answer eluded him.

   Should Nail be forward? Should his words be heavy as weights and just as blunt: I like you? Or should he take inspiration from the more sleek poets before him. Mathematics and computer sciences were far different a language to that of conveying feelings and poetry. So, perhaps Nail ought to relay to Romin that the moon was beautiful tonight. Though it was daytime when he was scheduled to see her next so that wouldn’t work.

   Not to mention… From his observations… Nail had concluded that Romin was a hard-headed girl. He would have to look into her schooling records more closely to deduce if she knew what a metaphor was or that their usage could be applied outside of music. It genuinely seemed heads or tails for Nail…

   What would make for the best song? That weighed on Nail’s mind, too. They were both creatives but their spirits did not appear kindred when it came to their pursuits. Nail could code all sorts of things in honour of Romin, he could recreate her portrait using HTML as his ink and paintbrush, the rich text editor his canvas but what of her? She needed more than him and his words might just become the head-line lyrics of her next album if he wasn’t careful. He would also appreciate if said lyrics were flattering rather than slandering so that added yet another layer to all the considerations that Nail had to be mindful of.

   With so much to take into account, at the end of all his thought, it was not a true answer which Nail came to as he pondered each word for clarity to carry his feelings but it was an answer. If he wanted to let Romin know he felt, he ought to approach with caution. What if she didn’t feel the same way? What if she did? Either result terrified Nail as he couldn’t predict her outcomes the way he could predict the outcomes of RNG in a Master Duel.

   Either way, the day in which they would cross paths came about before Nail could perfect his speech. His resolve was hardened as he sweated in the sun, arriving earlier than anyone else just so he could hazard some one-one-one time with Romin.

   She waited in the park, in the shade of the tree but the leftward slant of a sunbeam illuminated her regardless. She looked as rock and roll as ever, with tinsel town hair of magenta and greeted him, turning around and her skirt fluttered around the bulk of her ever present guitar case.

   “Hey, what’s up?” Romin asked, she batted her eyelashes at him as she greeted him, her hand thrown up in a casual hello.

   Nail could feel his knees knock and his tongue tie. He had never felt this way before. She was just a tween age girl, there was no reason for Nail to feel as though he were staring down the jaws of a tiger and yet, as friendly as Romin was, he felt as though he were in mortal danger as he heeded his previous revelations. He really ought to approach with caution. Enunciate clearly, be on guard, and allowed for whatever happens, to happen.

   “Yes. Good.” Nail replied. “If you could spare a moment of your time, however, I have something I want to ask you.” His teeth chattered.

   “Yeah, sure, now’s a good time, what do you need?” 

   Nail took a breath and he let his preparations meet his hormones and together, they took over his mouth in confession.

they did not establish how the RoaRomin fans felt about no music and just 3 duels which varied in intensity including Roa admitting he was involved in cyber crimes of masking digital information for the sake of fucking with one guy. did they play a song after dealing with all that??? how did Romin feel??? she was literally used and now has to go back to playing music with her cousin who doesn't respect her as a person but doesn't outright hate her. the fanblogs would be in shambles man

Here's Asana's dialogue with Mimi and Roa.

Mimi: I feel like I've seen you before...But where? Asana: Who are you? You don't seem like a student at Goha #6 Elementary. Mimi: Cuz I'm not! I'm one of the Hexagon-Scratch that! I mean I go to Goha #7! The name's Mimi Imimi! What's groovy? Asana: Groovy...? Mimi: I remember where I've seen you! In my company's files-I mean, at the library! You're Asana Mutsuba of Mutsuba Heavy Machinery, right? Asana: That's right. Mimi: No one remembers that your family helped build Goha City. Because Goha Enterprises crushed your company. Asana: ......... Mimi: When your equipment broke down, you asked Goha for new parts, but that was no-go. Asana: How do you know that? That information isn't in any book in any library. Mimi: Gulp! For reals? You sure? I'm sure there was a blurb about it... Asana: ...Well, you're right about my family history. Mimi: (So that's why she's trying to destroy Rush Duels. To save her company.) I know how you're feeling! I wanna go back to my good ol' days too! When i was bustin' my moves on the dance floor! No one raised the roof like me! Asana: ...Who are you? Or should I say - what are you?

Roa: Hey there, Asana! Nice ride. Care if I take it for a spin around the block? Asana: ....... R6: Vroom.... Asana: R6 says he doesn't give rides. Especially to strangers. Roa: Well then...Hi! I'm Roa! Wanna be friends? R6: Vrooooom! Asana: Now now R6. It's fine if you don't want to be friends. Roa: Uh... Asana: But you shouldn't talk about his eyebrows like that. Roa: You and R6 both need to chill. Asana: ....... Roa: But I don't know if you can chill. Cuz your 'tude's already freezing cold. C'mon - if we're gonna be rivals, wouldn't you rather it be a friendly one? Asana: What do you mean? Roa: You came here to battle against Yuga, right? That makes us rivals. Because I'm the one who's going to defeat Yuga - not you! Asana: ...Who are you? What's your name? Roa: You're such a kidder. Everyone knows who I am. Asana: I don't. Roa: C'mon, Asana. You must've heard of RoaRomin...right...? This is...impossible...Everyone knows me... Asana: ...C'mon, seriously. What's your name?

OH THIS ROAROMIN SHIT IS SERIOUS???

ROA KASSIDY - You’ve Got Him All Wrong

Roa Kassidy is, I believe, one of the most complicated characters from SEVENS. While he is manipulative and abusive slowly learning to become a better person, there is more behind what made him the way he was.

There are two main scenes that, I believe, show Roa in a heavily negative light regarding his attitudes from both the beginning and end of SEVENS.

Our first showing of Roa’s abuse was in his first main episode, Behind You!. It is here that he shoves Romin against the wall and says that he won’t reveal her secret. The manner in which he does it is also eerily similar to that of sexual harassment.

The second time is when he flirts with Asana in a clearly inappropriate manner.

I would like to remind you all that Roa is canonically a fifth grader. He’s 10/11, just like Romin. Therefore, Roa acting in this way, particularly in a perverted manner as well, is very very concerning when it comes to child development. There’s no such thing as ‘being born evil’. Personally I have a theory as to why Roa acts the way he does in the early series.

RoaRomin was formed when the band were 9/10, barely around preteens. Therefore, they 100% had to have an adult figure looking after their working lives. Of course a manager would have been required too.

RoaRomin as well is a very popular and famous band with many fans. A huge fanbase would empower a need for supply, including music, photo sessions, autographs, concerts, etc. This would be a huge amount of strain for literal children.

In Duel Links, Roa already reveals that he doesn’t attend school a lot.

That’s not all. From a much darker side, it is important to note how Roa and Romin would be child stars due to their position in the band. However Roa is seen as the most popular due to him being the singer and frontman, therefore he has the most attention placed on him. This could lead to heavy stress, as can be expected from situations regarding child stars.

Another dark thing to note is Roa’s more pervy attitudes. Psychologically there are very little explanations for this, therefore we must jump to the most common - sexual abuse. If this did happen, whenever it was, it would explain why this is a negative characteristic of his that lingers on to near the end of the show, and have such an impact. Child stars like the entirety of RoaRomin are at a very high risk for abuse and mistreatment. However Roa in particular is at the highest risk as the frontman. Even if the abuse wasn’t actually sexual, it is very likely still heavily traumatising. And let’s face it, having fans like Mimi, a literal 37-year old, crush over you is going to mess you up.

Overtime it has become more difficult for Roa to juggle his public persona with his true self as well. Roa’s smiling facade is a persona. His cheerfulness is a persona. His true self has a low self esteem because he can never be at the top.

This post is not to justify Roa’s actions here at all. Rather, I shall conclude with this.

   Roa and Romin. Romin and Roa. RoaRomin.

   Ugh. It was all about them, them, them!

   No mention of either he or Taira. Nope, none, nada. If he was lucky, he and Taira might get called “those two guys” and at least mentioned in the background but more often than not. They got less than half a sentence each, if they were lucky. They were completely in the shadow of Roa and Romin’s success and it annoyed Ushiro to no end. 

   The band might have been called RoaRomin but Roa and Romin were just the face of it, the beginning of it. The drums and bass guitar were very much not performed by them. The whole band was successful, not just the Kirishima cousin duo. So a little credit where credit was due would be nice.

   His brow furrowed deep as he read the newspaper front page to back page again. Just in case he missed something in regard to the RoaRomin article which was splashed all throughout it. From the blockbuster headline with a full colour photo printed on the top to the back page hocking discounted seats in the nosebleeds. It was all about them. Their music, their singing, their lead guitar skills and nothing with regards to either the bassist or the drummer.

   Ushiro gripped on even tighter to the newspaper, until it scrunched underneath his fingers going white as he hardly contained his frustration. He read through for all the little details but found nothing useful. Just the statistics of the weather and Roa’s favourite food or holidays on sale for seniors or if Romin had a favourite fast food joint. All stuff either irrelevant to him or something he could get if he asked his fellow bandmates. 

   Not even lip service to either him or Taira. Ushiro’s mouth quivered. Frustrated or annoyed didn’t begin to describe, truly, just how shafted he felt not just for himself but for Taira, too. But at least he was memorable, all thunder and lightning! Roa’s bestie! He was just… 

   He was just their friend.

   Ushiro huffed.

   “Hey, you okay?” Romin asked as he gently placed her hand on Ushiro’s shoulder.

   Funnily enough, she startled him.

   His eyes went wide and he had a full shiver response, alarming Romin. She retracted her hand and awkwardly stepped back as Ushiro was sent whirling and she could only watch. 

   Ushiro shuddered as he ripped himself from the pages of the newspaper, all but falling back into the soft middle part of the lounge in the studio where he had been practising… Until vanity had gotten the better of him and he’d seen the newspaper lying about on the provided coffee table.

   He looked up at Romin and she seemed genuinely concerned. Once she had calmed down some from seeing Ushiro Omaeno, of all people, get startled from an unexpected shock.

   “Oh, uh, Romin, yeah, I’m fine.” Ushiro said and he tried to play it off cool.

   He crossed his arms and the newspaper half folded into his armpit because of it. He blew a puff of hair to move his fringe out of most of his face and leaned back only for it to flop back where it started over his forehead, eyes, and nose. Romin watched, unimpressed.

   “You’ve been reading these dumb gossip rags again, haven’t you?” Romin accurately deduced.

   She snatched the newspaper out from underneath the edge of Ushiro’s bony arm. She glanced through it and saw enough when she saw her cousin’s face on no less than three pages. Romin sighed. She tossed it aside and it messily fluttered back down onto the coffee table from where it had been laid initially by Roa, probably.

   “You really shouldn’t pay any mind to these hack journalists, they just want a quick buck and the most eyeballs on their words. They don’t care if it's fair or true, or even accurate.” Romin complained.

   “I know, I know, but…” Ushiro conceded and he leaned forward, elbows on his knees as he stared, glumly, at the floor “it's just… it would be nice… if once in a while someone remembered I - or, uh, Taira - existed.” 

   “We know you exist.” Romin offered with a smile.

   She was so bright, Ushiro couldn’t look her in the eye. They were true and blue and kind. She offered her hand and Ushiro made a point of not taking it, he retreated further under his fluffy mop of black-brown hair. 

   “I’ve been practising the bass for, like, as long as I can remember. I want people to remember that.” Ushiro miserably admitted.

   Romin sighed and put her hand on her hip, she jostled her guitar which was strapped to her back in its bag. “You are the best bassist I know.”

   “I’m the only bassist you know.” Ushiro said.

   “In real life!” Romin clarified, her voice going squeaky as made fists in front of herself. “I know of plenty of bassists and you are my most favourite.”

   “Am not.” Ushiro grunted.

   “Are to!” Romin argued back. “I’ll prove it!”

   She then proceeded to list off all the bassists she knew of and thought were inferior to Ushiro and it was… a surprisingly long list. Filled with grown ups from near and far in the annals of rock music history. Some of them were pretty good, even favourites and idols of Ushiro’s who had inspired him to pick up the bass guitar barely out of toddlerhood. 

   He couldn’t believe it but Ushiro found himself blushing which meant Romin was satisfied. She had done her job to hype him up again. She sat down next to Ushiro and elbowed him in the side playfully, he squirmed and tried to suppress a giggle.

   “Believe me now?” Romin smirked.

   “Maybe.” Ushiro lied quite obviously. 

   “C’mon, you are instrumental to our success, Ushiro, I promise.” Romin said as she readied her own guitar, wordlessly inviting Ushiro into a jam session with her.

   Ushiro straightened up his posture. He leaned over and picked his bass off its stand by the lounge. Romin made more room for them both. She began to play a couple chords, some to check tuning and others because she liked how they sounded. Ushiro mimicked and he could feel his head cool as he got into a better frame of mind rhythmically following along until they actually found themselves in the middle of a song. It was second nature to them both to meld into a familiar melody of one of their hit songs. 

   It was a lot of fun for the two of them to tear up and down those four-chord progression scales. 

   Ushiro felt his heart begin to race. It was a bit sopping wet and embarrassing, after all how many great bands before them had broken up because of members catching feelings for each other but yes. Ushiro had something of a crush on Romin. Only a small one, though. A really small one which didn’t give him insomnia at all.

   Like, sure, he wanted better conditions of fame for not just himself but Taira too but Taira had a leg-up on Ushiro because he came in kind of a pair with Roa. He and Romin didn’t really have that. They weren’t a duo within the quartet. They were just friends. Just bandmates.

   But what if?

   Ushiro had to be careful not to get too far into his own head as these kinds of mushy thoughts made his palms sweat. He didn’t want to slip from the position he held on the neck of his bass as he played it. He really respected Romin for her talent on the lead guitar. He thought she was cute and ferocious and hard-headed at times and a lot of fun to be around.

   Case in point: right now. She was great to play with and did a great job at sticking up for him, too. She looked gorgeous, head-banging in magenta, sweat on her brow, as she practised hard enough to make more than perfect. There were absolutely worse places to be than right beside her, Ushiro thought. 

   Sure, according to these dumb gossip rags, he - and Taira - didn’t exist. They were completely overshadowed by the other half of the band’s success but Ushiro found himself caring less and less. That newspaper could rot for all he cared because he was Romin’s favourite bass guitarist and the band’s success was built on all four of them.
