 * In episode 12, Yusei used this card in his Turbo Duel against Tetsu Trudge. Right after he summons this card, Trudge plays "Power Bind" to make this card's ATK 0 until Yusei's next Standby Phase to insure that Yusei can't use this card's effect to turn the Duel around.

On Yusei's Standby Phase, this card's ATK returns to normal. Yusei then switches this card to Defense Position. He then summons "Healing Wave Generator" to the field. He then targets this card for the effect of "Healing Wave Generator". Since this card is Level 2, "Healing Wave Generator" gave Yusei 200 Life Points(100 for each Level Star this card had). Yusei did this to insure Trudge can't use "Terminal Countdown" to wipe out his remaining Life Points on the following turn(this would also mean Trudge would need four Spell/Traps for "Terminal Countdown" to defeat Yusei). On the final turn of the Duel, Yusei summons "Turbo Synchron". The latter then attacks "Healing Wave Generator"(who Trudge snatched from Yusei via the effect of "Goyo Guardian"). The attack fails, but Yusei uses the effect of "Turbo Synchron" to summon "Sonic Chick". Yusei then uses "Urgent Tuning" to allow himself to Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster during the Battle Phase.
