About Yu-Gi-Oh!
Yu-Gi-Oh started as a Toei series in 1998, then Duel Monsters ran 224 episodes from 2000 to 2004 and set the card game formula. GX, 5Ds, Zexal, Arc-V and Vrains followed through 2019, each with a new lead and a new summoning method. Sevens introduced Rush Duels in 2020 and Go Rush continued that story to March 2025.
Three movies punctuate the run. Pyramid of Light fits after Duel Monsters, Bonds Beyond Time needs GX and 5Ds, and Dark Side of Dimensions is a direct epilogue to the original. The current shorts series Card Game The Chronicles runs monthly on YouTube since April 2025.
Good to know
Most series after 5Ds are standalone reboots with no shared timeline, so there is no single chronological order worth listing. Watch Duel Monsters first, then go in release order. GX and 5Ds connect loosely to the original, while Zexal onward resets completely. The 1998 Toei season is optional and uses different rules and voices.
