SEVENS will continue to strengthen the channel’s appeal and popularity.”

Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS

Meet the next King of Duels!

Yuga Ohdo may seem like any other 5th grader in Goha City, but he’s about to take his favorite game to the next level by inventing a whole new way to duel – Rush Duels!

Unlike previous duels, Rush Duels are faster and simpler, but with awesome new strategies that make each duel more dynamic than the last!

Yuga can’t wait to share Rush Dueling with every Duelist out there, but Goha Enterprises – the megacorp that controls the whole city – is having none of it!  They’re the ones who dictate how Duels are supposed to be played, so they’re going to use everything in their arsenal to crush this kid! But if they think that’s going to stop Yuga from building his road to freedom – they don’t know Yuga!

Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS – Get Ready for the Rush!
