Yu-Gi-Oh Release! 1998
To have a more authentic introduction to the franchise, the work was originally released in 1998. This version was not released in the US because it was considered very violent, making it very difficult to find in legitimate streaming services.
Saga Duel Monsters
Already this version is the one that most fans who grew up watching the episodes on Saturday mornings will remember is the Duel Monsters series of the 2000s, which is usually abbreviated simply as Yu-Gi-Oh! in the US.
Movie: The Dark Side of Dimensions
This film was released in 2016 in Japan and early 2017 internationally. The Dark Side of Dimensions follows the anime events with a new plot that sometimes contradicts the anime canon a little. However, he continues the stories of Yugi and his friends, as well as Seto Kaiba, and is a must for fans trying to enjoy the full series.
Gx saga
At this point, the story goes from Yugi and his friends to a new generation of duelists, although it is a continuation of the original series and introduces Kaiba, Yugi and other main characters.
Zexal saga
You can theoretically watch the younger series first if you prefer something more modern, but we suggest that you get the originals to start your marathon, as they are by far the best. Anyway , Zexal begins the next story of Yu-Gi-Oh!.
Sevens saga
This series gained launch in Japan in 2020, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Duel Monsters saga series. The English version was released in 2021 and has few episodes less than the original. It is another new independent story, so technically it can be appreciated at any time.
Rush saga !!
Finally Rush !! It is the latest series of the franchise , and its events technically are prior to those of Severe. However, the Rush saga !! It may be hard to find outside Japan, but an English version is supposed to be released in 2025 via Disney.
