A new anime in the Yu-Gi-Oh! series will be going on air. Broadcasting will begin in the spring of 2017 on TV Tokyo. In addition to this announcement, a character visual of protagonist Fujiki Yusaku was published.
Counting all of the anime series since 2000’s Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, this anime will be the sixth. The title has yet to be decided, but the main theme is, “Let’s take a step forward and give it a try!” It’s aimed towards kids who give up before trying things as a way to inspire them to take a step forward in the things they like or have an interest in and try them.
The protagonist of this series is Fujiki Yusaku, a young boy who hates to stand out too much. Through dueling, he meets with different kinds of people and is able to take a new step of his own. In this character visual, you can see him with his spiky blue and violet hair holding a card.
This work is based on the original manga Yu-Gi-Oh! serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump. The anime Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters began airing in 2000. Since then, new ones have aired including Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s, Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V.
The film Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Dark Side of Dimensions was released in 2016, 20 years after the manga was first serialized, and it was a huge hit earning more than 1 billion yen at the box office. The mobile game Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links was released in Japan in November and is expected to be released worldwide mid-Jan. 2017. The Yu-Gi-Oh! series attracts attention through all types of media. Fans are sure to be excited as the curtains rise on yet another legend.
