In episode 18 of "R.O.D the TV", following an incident involving Nancy, Yomiko reveals the sequence of events within the five-year interval between the events of the OVA and TV series. During the OVA, Nancy and Ikkyu were passionate lovers, and Nancy's clone was created by Ikkyu as a result of the original Nancy working for the British Library Special Operations. Prior to Ikkyu's death in the final scenes of the OVA, Ikkyu impregnated Nancy's clone, and following the end of the OVA, Nancy's clone gives birth. Almost immediately, Joker seizes Nancy's baby from her for "research purposes". However, it's revealed that Joker had a specific purpose for the baby. As the head of the British Library neared his death, Joker would attempt to transfer him into a new host body. Yomiko attempted to stop Joker for ethical purposes, and Joker ordered to have her arrested. In a fit of despair at the sight of her ex-lover Donnie Nakajima, Yomiko burned down the British Library and went into hiding for five years, before finally reappearing in "R.O.D the TV".
