Brief Explanation of Past endeavors: After attending Duel Academy for a few months of his first year, Zakikanoi left for a year with his father Zekanaro to travel through Europe on his own tournament spree. After a run of good luck he ended up in the semi-finals against his father, and managed to best him. While he lost the tournament, he gained his father's respect, and his father retired from Duel Monsters shortly thereafter. While returning to Duel Academy, Zakikanoi was captured by the spirit of his mother, and was forced to duel her for the sake of his and his father's souls. After managing to beat his mother, he inherited her deck along with his father's, and returned to Duel Academy. Since dueling his mother, he hasn't been able to sleep, but he has kept this from the people he loves since he doesn't want to worry his friends.

When not in use, he keeps it in a sheath attached to the waist of his pants, which detaches to become the wristband that the sword is kept on. The blade of the sword has seven gems embedded into it, each one a different colour (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet). The hilt of the sword has a white diamond in the center.
