Echo (エコー, Ekō) is Adrian Gecko's childhood friend. She eventually became the captain of the Gecko's spy submarine. After Adrian decided to stay in the alternate dimension, Echo went to rescue him. After joining Jaden Yuki's group she sacrificed herself so that Adrian could summon the spirit of Exodia the Forbidden One. Yubel later used the darkness in Echo's heart to regain her energy after she realized that Echo's spirit was still watching over Adrian. She was one of the few people who did not return after Jaden merged with Yubel.

She sees that; he is fit to rule the world as a king, although his responsibilities to his sibling prevent him from doing so. In the dub, she states that; Adrian must remain in the alternate dimension to remind him of his goal.

Biography[]
Dimension World[]
As Chancellor Sheppard arrived at Duel Academy after it had vanished into the alternate dimension, she attempted to kidnap him to use him as hostage, but Maximillion Pegasus arrived in a helicopter and his men restrained her.
When Maximillion Pegasus was creating the "Rainbow Dragon" card, Echo threatened to blow up the tablet and everyone around it to prevent Adrian from returning, but Pegasus' men restrained her.
When Jaden Yuki and his companions open the portal to the third alternate dimension in search of Jesse Anderson, she and Dr. Crowler get sucked in as well, having been nearby. She later meets up with Aster Phoenix and Zane Truesdale only for Adrian, now zealous on fulfilling his ambition, to show up as well.
During Adrian and Aster's Duel, Echo is willingly sacrificed by Adrian to the spirit of "Exodia the Forbidden One" to make it his servant. Despite this, her spirit still loved him. Her spirit later aids Adrian in his Duel against Jesse; when he is possessed; by Yubel, but is ultimately used by Yubel to recover its power when the malevolent spirit absorbs the darkness in Echo's soul.
Yubel tried to find darkness in Adrian's heart; but could not find any to feed it's power; but the darkness in Echo's soul was enough to revitalize Yubel. Adrian and Echo are the only characters, not counting Bastion who remained in the other dimension of his own free will, who never returned to their own dimension after Jaden and Yubel's fusion.
Deck[]
It is unknown if Echo ever had a Deck or not, but she has been seen using the "Short Circuit" card on multiple occasions.
