Description
Brook Walker, known as Umimi Habara in the original Japanese version, is a professional Duelist who appears in the second series of the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime. She is the wife of fellow pro Duelist Mayday Walker, and the two are a married couple who compete in Duels together. In her personal history, Brook was a friend and mentor to the character Anna Kaboom, as she is a few years older than Anna and taught her how to Duel. At her wedding to Mayday, she threw a bouquet that contained the card Devoted Love, which she told Anna would lead the catcher to find their true love.
Brook is a calm and supportive partner to her husband, and together they form a highly effective tag-team duo that uses strategies designed to complement each other’s decks. However, her role in the story takes a dramatic turn when she is brainwashed by the villain Vector, who gives her the card Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force and instructs her to defeat a Number holder during the Heartland Academy Fun Fair's Couples Duel tournament. Under this influence, she becomes more aggressive and secretive, even hiding the card's origin from Mayday. Her motivation for participating in the tournament is initially presented as her final Duel before retirement, which deeply upsets Anna, who confronts her over this decision. Throughout the Duel against Anna and her partner Yuma Tsukumo, Brook displays her skill by summoning powerful monsters like Unsinkable Titanica and Skypalace Gangaridai. The climax of the Duel sees her use the Barian's Force to upgrade Gangaridai into CXyz Skypalace Babylon, which she then gives control of to Mayday, urging him to win at all costs.
After being defeated, she is freed from Vector's control but retains memory of her actions. It is then revealed that her true reason for wanting to take a break from Dueling is not retirement, but because she is pregnant, though the English version alters this to her taking a break to teach. This reveals her core personality as caring and family-oriented. Following the Duel, she returns to her normal, playful self and even pushes Anna toward Yuma, humorously shouting direct attack, which causes the pair to tumble down a flight of stairs. Brook's notable abilities include piloting a Ship-themed WATER Deck, with her ace monsters being naval and aerial vessels. Her appearance is marked by her blue hair and yellow eyes, reflecting her ocean-themed aesthetic. Her key relationships are defined by her deep bond with her husband Mayday, her older-sister-like dynamic with her former student Anna, and her temporary antagonistic connection to the villain Vector.
