You know, I think I see someone who shouldn’t be there…
Episode 144: ユウディアスの変 – Yuudiasu no Hen
(The Yudias Incident)
Otei Usu sends the people he defeated in Duels to the moon with wooden rockets. After witnessing samurai getting stuffed into rockets, Yudias challenges Otei Usu to a Duel. He is driven into a corner by Otei Usu’s overwhelming ability, but manages to draw a fateful card!
Script: 山口宏 || Yamaguchi Hiroshi
NOTE: This is quite possibly a reference to the Honnō-ji Incident, which resulted in the assassination of the then-leading warlord of Sengoku Japan, Oda Nobunaga.

Fun fact: Several Episode Titles of this Arc in GO RUSH have references to some fictional works/historical moments/movies that, if you dig deeper, give you an idea of what the Episode will be about or give you the answer to certain things.
In fact, the Title of the next Episode (already revealed), has a reference to a science fiction novel that can give you an idea of how GO RUSH could end.
If we follow that logic, Otes might die this episode. We could see Other-Yudias taking his place.
Why Yudias looking like revolver from back here
Now we know what Burst Oblivion does. Due to its requirement and effect, it will likely be included alongside the other OTS monsters in whatever pack it will be in. OTS has an interesting gimmick centered around sending cards from hand or Deck to GY to treat their monsters as Galaxy until the end of the turn and boosting their ATK with the Field Spell, and then benefitting from having multiple Types and Attributes on your field during your opponent’s turn.
I love how Yudias predicts Oteiusu using Diversity Scream to weaken Diskarma Linac, only for Yudias to use Galactica Irritate to boost Linac’s ATK because Oteiusu activated his Trap. Much like his prior duel, Yudias baits his opponent into activating their backrow and still wins over them, proving how much he thought ahead. Yudias also becomes more stoic at the end of the episode, not even caring if people praise him anymore. While Zuwijo is ecstatic over Yudias’s change, the twins are concerned.
All of the monsters are also treated as “OuTerverSe” while in the Graveyard. Not OuTerverSe “monster” (which would obviously be pointless), but just plain “OuTerverSe”, which is odd unless OuTerverSe is a monster itself we have yet to see like how Dark Matter Mist was kept a mystery for a while.
Or it could be the first time they’re actually using a general archetype name rather than going around it with specific Attribute/Type/ATK/DEF like they’ve been doing.
