Yu-Gi-Oh! which literally means king of game is a japanese manga that created by Kazuki Takahashi in 1996. His creation has spawn many anime episodes and trading card games that played in the world alongside with pokemon trading card. Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card games called duel monster (originally known as Magic & Wizards), where each player uses cards to "duel" each other in a mock battle of fantasy "monsters". The Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game is the real world counterpart to this fictional game on which it is loosely based. Nowadays Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card games are played by not only kids and many people all around the world and counting.
The Yu-Gi-Oh! manga itself has made 3 sekuel manga and anime:
- Yu-Gi-Oh! R
It's a spin-off of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! Franchise with most of the same characters in a new plotline (which takes place between the Battle City arc and the Egypt arc). Yu-Gi-Oh R is illustrated by Akira Ito, one of the artists who illustrated the original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga, and supervised by Kazuki Takahashi.
- Yu-Gi-Oh! GX
Yu-Gi-Oh! GX , featuring new storylines and monsters, as well as some personality changes in some of the characters. The comic is illustrated by Naoyuki Kageyama and differs from the anime.
- Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's
It is written by Masahiro Hikokubo and Satou Masashi and, like the GXmanga, will feature different storylines and monsters.
There's also a 12 episodes Yu-Gi-Oh! anime that like OVA (for me). This episodes set before the end of the second Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series (Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters), apparently somewhere in season 5. Capsule Monsters involves Yugi (Yūgi), Joey (Jōnouchi), Téa (Anzu), Tristan (Honda) and Yugi's grandfather Solomon (Sugoroku) being pulled into a world where Duel Monsters are real. They find monster capsules that they can use to summon monsters. It is similar to the Virtual RPG arc in many respects, but it does not seem to have anything to do with the early Capsule Monster Chess game featured in early volumes of the original manga.
