Plot[edit]
See also: List of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX characters
Taking place ten years after the events of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX follows a new
generation of duelists including a young boy named Judai Yuuki (Jaden Yuki) who attends Duel
Academia (Duel Academy), a school founded by Seto Kaiba that trains duelists in the field of Duel
Monsters. Judai/Jaden makes various friends and rivals and takes on many challenges alongside his
Elemental Hero deck and a Winged Kuriboh card given to him by Yugi Mutou.
Production[edit]
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX is produced by Nihon Ad Systems and TV Tokyo, and the animation is handled
by Studio Gallop. The series was directed by Hatsuki Tsuji[2] and scripts were prepared by an
alternating lineup of writers–Shin Yoshida, Atsushi Maekawa, Akemi Omode, Yasuyuki Suzuki–with
music arrangements by Yutaka Minobe.[2] Takuya Hiramitsu is in charge of sound direction,
supervised by Yūji Mitsuya. Character and monster designs are overseen by Kenichi Hara, while
Duel layout is overseen by Masahiro Hikokubo.[2] The "GX" in the series' title is short for the term
"Generation neXt". "GENEX" was conceived as the series' original title, as can be evidenced in early
promotional artwork. It also refers to the GX tournament that takes place between episodes 84 and
104.
The program is divided into episodes classified as "turns". The title sequence and closing credits are
accompanied by lyrics varying over the course of the series, with the former immediately followed by
an individual episode's number and title. Eyecatches begin and end commercial breaks halfway
through each episode; in the first season, there were two eyecatches per episode, usually
showcasing the opponents and their key monsters for a given episode while in later seasons, a
single eyecatch appears with only the duelists. After the credits, a preview of the next episode,
narrated most frequently by KENN and Masami Suzuki, is made, followed by a brief "Today's
Strongest Card" segment.

Anime[edit]
Main article: List of Yu-Gi-Oh! GX episodes
The 180-episode series aired in Japan on TV Tokyo between October 6, 2004 and March 26, 2008,
and was followed by Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.[3]
It was subsequently licensed by 4Kids Entertainment and adapted into English, picked up
by Cartoon Network[4] and 4KidsTV in North America, where it is also distributed by Warner Bros.
Family Entertainment (edited version only) and Warner Bros. Television Animation. Like previous
4Kids adaptations, several changes were made from the original Japanese version, including the
names and personalities of characters, the soundtrack, the sound effects, the appearance of visuals
such as Life Point counters, and the appearance of cards. The story and some of the visuals are
also edited to remove references to death, blood, violence and religion in order to make the series
suitable for a younger audience.[5] Also any written language text, either Japanese or English is
erased or replaced with unreadable content. These edits are also used in various localizations of the
show in countries outside of Asia where 4Kids had distribution rights. The fourth season has not
been dubbed, as it was replaced by the North American airing of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's in September 2008.
Dubbed episodes were uploaded onto 4Kids' YouTube page until March 29, 2011, when Nihon Ad
Systems and TV Tokyo sued 4Kids and terminated the licensing agreement for the Yu-Gi-Oh!
franchise. The series is currently licensed by 4K Media Inc..[6] Crunchyroll is currently streaming
dubbed episodes and began streaming the subtitled Japanese version of the series in August
2015.[7]

Manga[edit]
A manga spin-off of the series supervised by Kazuki Takahashi and written and illustrated by
Naoyuki Kageyama began serialization in V Jump on December 17, 2005.[8] The chapters have
been collected and published in nine tankōbon volumes by Shueisha starting on November 2,
2006. The manga is licensed for English language release by Viz Media, which serialized the
first 37 chapters in its Shonen Jump manga anthology. The remaining chapters were published
straight to graphic novel, beginning with volume 5. The plot of the manga is completely different
from the anime and is more of a continuation to the original Yu-Gi-Oh! series with Shadow
Games and the Millennium Items playing a major role within the story.[9][10] There are also new
monsters and changes to some of the characters' personalities. Unlike the original Yu-Gi-
Oh! manga, all the names used in the English version of the manga are taken from the dubbed
anime. A one-shot of the GX manga was released on June 21, 2014 in the August issue of V
Jump.[11] The one-shot was written and illustrated by Naoyuki Kageyama. An English version of
this chapter was released on December 29, 2014 by Weekly Shonen Jump.
Video games[edit]

Four games have been released for Nintendo DS; Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters Nightmare

Championship 2007 and Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship 2008. A fifth title, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel
Monsters GX Card Almanac, is not actually a game, but a catalog of cards up to 2007.
The Tag Force series has appeared on the PlayStation Portable, which adds the ability to form
tag team duels, with the first three games in the series being based on the GX series
(subsequent games are based on Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's). The titles are Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force, Yu-
Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 2 and Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Tag Force 3. The first game was also ported
to PlayStation 2 as Yu-Gi-Oh! GX: Tag Force Evolution. So far, Tag Force 3 has not been
released in North America. It was however, released in Europe, and its follow up, Yu-Gi-Oh!
5D's Tag Force 4, has been released in all regions including North America.
Magazine[edit]
In 2007, Eaglemoss productions signed a deal to release a magazine based upon the Yu-Gi-Oh!
GX franchise named Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Ultimate Guide.[12][13] This series of issues (Priced as 99p for
Issue 1, £1.99 for Issues 2 to 60 and £4.99 for the Mini Monsters Special Issue) ran from 2007
to 2009 and totalled 61 issues. Each fortnight a collectable would be included in the form a
medal (Academy character or duel monster), a Triang (2x shiny or 1x Holographic) or a
miniature monster which would stand on its own platform. In Issue 2 a tin was provided to keep
medals and triangs in, along with a further 2 collectable file folders to hold the comics in later
issues.
Parodies[edit]
The artist Inu Mayuge (犬マユゲ, Dog Brows) parodied Yu-Gi-Oh! GX in the comic De-I-Ko! GX
(犬☆眉☆毛DE-I-KO! GX). The parody was posted in the June 25, 2009 V Jump.[14]
