## Early Concept and Music Used

***"Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Dimensions"*** was set aside as a small cross-over idea that involved more villainous roles like Mephiles The Dark and nearly followed that of the first "*Yu-Gi-Oh!*" series, then worked its way from there. Kurisu would have been transported the same way he did in the final write, but he would have passed the Millennium Room and headed straight to Domino City without guidance. Cameo appearances like the Bakugan Fusion Dragonoid would have made an appearance rather than the card "Light and Darkness Dragon" showing up as a warning Spirit to ward off Kaiba.

Writing the action-packed duels for "Duel Dimensions" wasn't easy, so Kurisu had help of a "*Yu-Gi-Oh!*" dueling program named "***Yu-Gi-Oh! PRO The Dawn Of A New Era***", which was used as a dueling platform, and its ability to show replays of the duels is what made the series possible. Without it, the series would not be possible, therefore, "Duel Dimensions" would have remained a shelved idea.

The music used for the series uses the Score Soundtrack used for the English dub of "*Yu-Gi-Oh!*", orchestrated by **4Kids Entertainment**, mostly by **Joe Douek**, **Gil Talmi** and **Wayne Sharpe**. Other music are also used by Alexis Rault (composer for "*Code Lyoko Evolution*") optionally.

## Characters

* **Kurisu Furo** (クリス フロー, Kurisu Furō) - It's a no-brainer that Mister Furo would yet again, star in a series, showing another one of his adventures. This time, Kurisu is a beginner Duelist, aspiring to win duels with two Decks of Duel Monsters cards and uses his trusty Duel Matrix (to compensate wearing a Duel Disk) to do so. He was tasked by Atem (The Pharaoh Spirit) to learn the ways of Duel Monsters, and be wary of the dangers that approach the worlds of "*Yu-Gi-Oh!*". His ace cards are the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", "No. 39: Utopia", and his Spirit card is "Light and Darkness Dragon". He got into Duel Academy with a draw in an Entry Duel with his friend. His main Deck is the "Blue-Eyes Force", but he's having semi-second thoughts as he learns.
* **Yugi Mutou** (武藤遊戯, Mutō Yūgi) / **Atem** (アテム, Atemu) - Yugi/Atem is the central main character of the "*Yu-Gi-Oh!*" franchise, and serves as the main protector of the Millennium World. It is shown that Atem and Yugi, in this series, live in separate dimensional planes, and Atem can travel freely in each world dimension. He plays with his usual Deck, which contains the original "Dark Magician", and holds the three Egyptian God Cards to ensure his win. He speaks with a deep, but kind heart. Atem and Yugi take residence in the Classic Era.
	+ **Seto Kaiba** (海馬 瀬人, Kaiba Seto) - An anti-hero of the Classic Era, Kaiba runs the infamous KaibaCorp - responsible for making the duel technology with the latest advanced augmented reality software. Kaiba's appearances can be menacing, but he always looks out for his brother **Mokuba Kaiba**. His most treasured card is the "Blue-Eyes White Dragon", and has a semi-grudge towards all who plans on using Blue-Eyes against him, except Kurisu. He sees Yugi Moto/Atem as his biggest dueling rival.
* **Jaden Yuki** (遊城十代, Yūki Jūdai) - Jaden is a cool, laid-back, and outspoken character from the "*Yu-Gi-Oh! GX*" series, who seems to see the fun in certain duels.

A "Satellite" dweller who was involved in the mystery of the Crimson Dragon and became one of the five Signers. Despite his dark past, Yusei can become a friendly individual.
