Yu-Gi-Oh Sevens

Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens (遊☆戯☆王SEVENS, Yūgiō Sebunsu), stylized as Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENƧ, is a Japanese anime series animated by Bridge. It is the seventh spin-off anime series in the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, following Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, and commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters anime series.

The series premiered in Japan on TV Tokyo on April 4, 2020.

## Synopsis

The series takes place in the futuristic town of Gōha and stars Yūga Ōdō, a fifth-grade, elementary school student, who loves both inventions and dueling. Feeling that the current rules of the *Duel Monsters* card game are too stifling, Yūga successfully manages to install a new set of rules of his own creation known as "Rush Duel", allowing for more fast-paced and frantic dueling. The series follows Yūga and his friends as they show off the delights of Rush Duels while under the watchful eye of the Goha Corporation that oversees the city.

### Manga

A comedy spin-off manga adaptation, titled *Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens: Boku no Road Gakuen (My Road Academy)*, written and illustrated by Megumi Sasaki will launch in the September issue of *Saikyo Jump* on August 4, 2020.

On August 19, 2020, it was announced that Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens will be getting a manga in V Jump, titled *Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS Rook! Bakuretsu Hadou Den!! (Luke! Legend of Exploding Military Rule!!)*, written by Hikokubo Masahiro and illustrated by Sugie Tasuku will launch in the next issue of *V Jump*.

### Trading Card Game

In the year that *Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens* premiered, the *Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game* announced an update to the Master Rules, unofficially called "Master Rule 5". Effective April 1, 2020, it is now possible again to summon Fusion, Synchro, or Xyz monsters directly to the Main Monster zones without a required Link arrow pointing to it. Pendulum and Link monsters however retain their previous rules.

No new type of cards were introduced to the main card game. Instead, a new format separate from the main game known as Rush Duels was introduced in a vein similar to Speed Duels. However, unlike Speed Duels, Rush Duels come with its own special rules. Normal Summoning is unlimited, though Tribute Summon rules for Level 5 or higher monsters still apply. All card effects are a "hard" once per turn, meaning a certain card's effect can only be used once during that turn. There are special satisfactions required for the player to fulfill before card effects can be used. Players can only use cards designed for Rush Duels, which have a special frame and a "RUSH DUEL" tag at the bottom of the card. Cards based on monsters from the main card game are known as "Legend Cards". Each player is only allowed one copy of one Legend Card in their deck. This Rush Duel format is currently exclusive in Japan.
