Synopsis[]
Becoming Phantomi Spade[]
Upon witnessing Phantomirage in action, she instantly becomes a huge fan, having merch of her, without knowing that the person she idolized was her best friend.[2]
While eating at a sushi restaurant with her parents one day, the owner is turned into an Ikenaier which causes both her parents to be turned into food. She panics but then gets excited in hopes that she will witness Phantomirage again and maybe even getting a signature too. However, she begins to doubt that Phantomirage will come and decides to take action instead. She holds back the Ikenaier to allow other customers to leave which ultimately allows her to become a Phantomirage as well.
She witnesses Kokomi about to transform in the kitchen and they both transform into Phantomirage, Saki being able to transform into Phantomi Spade.[3]
Finding her Treasure[]
Saki has a deep love for idols and this is very clearly shown when she encounters her idol, Chikarun. Upon first glance, she immediately begins to list out every fact that she knows about her. Such as her name being Chika Akiba, her favorite color is blue, her favorite food being salty crepes, and how she is the best idol in the world who loves to smile.
Witnessing her top idol Chikarun transform into an Ikenaier, not wanting her to be someone who hates smiles, Saki firmly declares that she doesn't wish to watch her suffer. Shortly after declaring this, the Phantomi Time appears before her. The Phantomi Time travels her and Chikarun back in time to her first concert which Saki remembers. Here, she sees her young self excited to see her on stage but accidentally trips. Chikarun, noticing her fall, hurriedly comes to help her. In order to cheer her up, Chikarun makes a pose that young Saki copies. From this moment onward, it has become Saki's known catchphrase and she even says it when she finishes her transformation. With her treasure appearing, Saki can finally take back her idols' cool heart.[4]
Identity Unveiled[]
After Saki attempts to untie Minoru Umeno from ropes he was bound in, she runs to help Kokomi who was battling an Ikenaier. He attempts to follow her. He, however does not realize Saki is the same as Phantomi Spade but this leads this to the Reverse Police in noticing. After returning the table tennis player back to normal, Phantomi Spade remembers that she wants her autograph. Doing so, the player asks what her name, not realizing that she just gave out her real name. The Reverse Police steal the signed page and learn her name, saying it aloud. This ultimately leads to her identity being revealed, thus turning her into popcorn much to Phantomi Heart's dismay.[5]

Activating the transformation with the Phantomi Ring, she spins it and poses. A black mask covers her eyes and disappears revealing her eye make up. She looks up and smiles. As she counts down from three, she taps the Phantomi Wristy. When saying three, her hat appears, as she says two her shorts appear and as she says one she appears in full attire. The spade suit on her chest is enlarged on the screen as she pops out landing in a fancy pose saying "Okay!" She continues the transformation with a dance in a large room with a snowy background with spade-shaped snowflakes. Behind that are the 4 club suits. Diamond, spade, heart, and clover with the colors of red, blue, pink, and purple respectively. She completes the transformation by saying "Phantomi Spade Saki!" and "It’s started completely!".
