Etymology

The alias "Nomurandamas" that he and his partner took is a reference to the astrologer Michel de Nostredame, better-known with his Latinised name "Nostradamus", who was infamous for his alleged prophecy of the end of the world. The alias is also a contraction of "Nomura-and-Damas" (Nomura to Damasu in Japanese).

In Japanese, Damasu is also the pronunciation of 騙（だま）す, which is the verb "to deceive".

Biography

Nomura was scheduled to Rush Duel Yuhi Ohdo in the Coruffium. Damas wasted little time reciting "prophecies" from Mr. Universe, and these in combination with Nomura's disruption tactics easily distracted Yuhi. Nomura successfully destroyed Yuhi's field with "Final Destiny" and powered up "Doomsayer Samurai Nosferadeimos" to wipe out most of Yuhi's LP, but Yuhi became so affected by Damas' prophecies that he began tossing a coin to decide his moves, and he accidentally flipped "Nosferadeimos" face-down and then face-up again, resetting its ATK to zero. Yuhi then Tribute Summoned "Jointech Tossceratops", but despite apparently calling its coin-tossing effect wrong, he successfully powered it up. Yuhi prophesied Nomura's loss; the effect of "Tossceratops" preventing Nomura from activating a Trap Card to defend himself, and defeating Nomura. After the Rush Duel, Damas' prophecies were exposed, and Damas tried to recite a prophecy about the Great King of Terror, but Nomura tried to threaten Yuhi, and Venus Ganiko threw him and Damas out of the Coruffium for fighting.

Nomura was Rush Dueling George Jersey in the Alien Residential Area when Damas and the other aliens began to sense the Great King of Terror approaching.
