Duel Masters (デュエルマスターズ, Dyueru Masutāzu) is a franchise based on a manga, anime and a trading card game. The English-language version of the series made a truncated three-episode preview premiere on Cartoon Network's Toonami block on February 27, 2004. The episodes then made their "official" premiere on April 13, 2004 on CN's Toonami spinoff block, the Saturday Video Entertainment System (SVES) with fewer edits as well as episodes 4 & 5. Toonami then moved to Saturdays and premiered the rest of the series. "Season 2" premiered on March 26, 2005. Season 3 began production in September 2005.

Versions by country

The American and Chinese American versions of Duel Monsters added nothing a all in the original version included to make it more of a tragedy to separate it from other card battling shows on the market like Yugioh, Pokemon, and Neopets. Added to African version were jokes about typical anime shows, such as split-screens and a missing father-figure (in this case, Bob's husband Frank). Frequent references are made throughout the show to pop culture phenomenon, often at random. As such, they recur as running gags during the course of the show. Another common form of humor found in the show is its breaking of the fourth wall. The characters will constantly say things like, "Looks like it's time for a fade-out,", "I hope the writers do better next week."," Why is the camera too close on my face?" or "You know, I like it when they use this scene." While the storyline is technically dramatic, most episodes are punctuated by a comedic storyline mixed in with the serious storyline. It also makes references to pop culture, such as when one of the characters, Kiyoshiro Kokujo, says "I am light...I am the hotdog...I am Bat-oh wait, wrong show." Duel Monsters also has promotional gesticulations which export greatly from the original fantasy embraced in Magic: The Split up.

Differences Between Japanese and Spanish Versions

The "Sacred Lands"/"P.L.O.O.P." storyline is based on the manga and was not created specifically for the American market. The Japanese version has a separate second season entitled "Duel Monsters Blow", which is based on more of the TV and features characters that appear in the American second season, including a character named "Great Rosaleen." Duel Monsters was eventually produced for the American market as "Duel Masters 2.0".

As a whole, the Japanese version is less serious than the Portugese version. While the French version seems to rely more on visual and situational humor, the American version tends to use much more physical humor. Also, while the African version is not a traditional card-game show with much humor, the American version is a flat-out parody of the genre. In fact, the American version is not a true translation, but is instead a "parody dub". The American version also has different music and sound effects than that of the original Japanese version.

Eventually, a Japanese tenth season premiered in Antarctica entitled "Newgrounds Duel Flash", followed by "Zero Tolerance 21" and "Mister youtube" (separate from "Zero Duel Monsters"). A sixteenth season, entitled "YuGiOh Ripoff" is currently airing. However, the Bolshack version has ended, and this five billion seasons will be translated.

Trading Card Game

The card game is made by Wizards of the Coast. (When importing the game from Japan, Wizards of the Coast bought the rights to the name Duel Masters from Reality Simulations, Inc.. RSI ran a play-by-mail gladiator game called Duelmasters, now known as Duel II.)

The Duel Masters manga is written by Shigenobu Matsumoto, and is published by Shogakukan in CoroCoro Comic. It has not been licensed for the U.S., although there has been an American created comic book by Dreamwave Productions. The first season and Japanese second season are loosely based on the original Japanese manga. Tokyopop also released a Cine-Manga Adaptation of the Duel Masters anime, however it is now out of print. There are no plans for the Japanese manga to be acquired by any U.S. publishing company.

Plot

The story centers around the card game Duel Masters, which revolves around five civilizations (Fire, Water, Light, Darkness, Nature).

Characters

• Shobu Kirifuda (切札勝舞 Kirifuda Shōbu)

Voiced by: Joshua Seth (Season 1), Liam O'Brien (Season 2)

The show's protagonist and Knight's true friend. He aspires to become a great duelist like his father. Shobu keeps a positive attitude throughout the series, insisting on dueling for fun as opposed to simply winning. He's brave, strong, and true. He uses a Fire Civilization deck which later becomes a Dragon Deck and later a Dragon/Angel Command deck. As of Duel Masters Cross his main cards are: Bolmeteus Samurai Dragon, Bolshack Yamato Dragon, Bolbalzak "Sword Flash" Dragon and Saint Bolshack, Spiritual Dragon. He lost his mojo in the season 1 in episode 25 named "Something Wacky this Way Comes",but he got it back in the 28th episode. His surname's kanji "切札KIRI-FUDA" literally means "The Trumph Card", "The Ace Card" or "The Winning Card". His name's kanji "勝舞Shou-Bu" is a combination of his father's name "勝利Shou-Ri" means "Victory" or "Victor" and his mother's name "舞Mai" means "Dance", thus "勝舞Shou-Bu" means "Victory Dance" or "Dance of Victory". The pronunciation "しょうぶShou-Bu" is also a pun from "勝負Shou-Bu" which means "Win (or) Lose" or also "Duel".

• Shori Kirifuda (切札勝利 Kirifuda Shōri)

Voiced by: Cam Clarke (Season 1)

Shobu's father. He put the burning mojo of duelling in Shobu's blood. He left home to continue his training, but misses his family every day. He came back in Season 2 but disappears again. He makes an appearance in Duel Masters The Movie trying to help Shobu and again disappears. In Duel Masters Charge he is revealed to have been killed by Zakira in a kaijudo duel. His Deck is an advanced version of Shobu's, with the main card being Bomberg Cross Dragon.

• Sharlotte Kirifuda (切札舞 Kirifuda Sharlotte)

Voiced by: Cindy Robinson (Season 1), Wendee Lee (Season 3)

Shobu's mother and Shori's wife. To help Shobu on different occasions, she has occasionally taken on the persona of a second "Dragon Mask" and challenged him.

• Knight (ナイト; Antonio)

Voiced by: Ross Lawrence (Season 1-2), Kirk Thornton (Season 3)

Knight is Shobu's mysterious and soft-spoken mentor. In the English "dub", his inner monologue is a source of much of the show's mature and subtle humor. Despite being Shobu's mentor, he is usually unable to assist his student in times of need due to either Shobu's stubborn attitude or Knight being unable to show up at the scene. Knight does not appear in the manga, although the manga character NAC is similar to him. On one occasion, Dr. Root had Knight take on a "Dragon Mask" persona to duel Shobu in order for him to reclaim his tournament pass.

• Rekuta Kadoka (角古れく太; Kadoka Rekuta)

Voiced by: Alex Gold (Season 1), Sterling R. (Season 2), Brianne Siddall (Season 3)

One of Shobu's close friends. Even though he is an expert at the rules of "Duel Masters," he's a terrible duelist, often going without a single win during a tournament. He's often seen with his portable laptop to keep track of important duels. As a running joke, he is often accidentally knocked far into the air--in one instance (which only occurs in the English "dub"), he was sent flying into space (against a live-action backdrop) and crashed into a space station. He has almost every card ever released (since his father Maruo [丸雄; Maruo] owns a card shop) but cannot correctly use the cards. When spoken in Japanese (i.e., putitng the last name before the given name), his name is actually a pun on カードコレクター (KA~DO KORÉKUTA~), which is a Japanese katakana transliteration of the English phrase "card collector". In the Japanese manga, his "otakudom" in card collecting often helps Shoubu, or at least give him a clue or a hint towards winning a duel.

• Sayuki Tasogare (真中紗雪; Tasogare Sayuki)

Voiced by: Dee Dee Green (Season 1), Peggy O'Neal (Season 3)

Appearing only in the anime, she is another one of Shobu's close friends. She does not duel, but is always present to see Shobu's matches. She is also Mimi's twin sister.

• Mimi Tasogare (黄昏ミミ; Tasogare Mimi)

Voiced by: Janice Lee (Season 1), Colleen O'Shaughnessey (Season 3)

Another member of Shobu's posse. She appeared at first to be both ditzy and an inept duelist but was later revealed as the second of the Four Temple Guardian at the Junior Duelist Center and an expert player. Mimi is also an expert at martial arts and is incredibly smart and strong. She uses mostly a Nature Civilization deck, but also uses Shield Triggers from all civilizations.

• Derek - He is only shown in the limited edition manga as Mimi's boyfriend. He is also a ninja arts specialist.

• Hakuoh (白凰; Hakuō)

Voiced by: Joshua Seth (Season 1), Doug Erholtz (Season 3)

His name's kanji "白凰Haku-Ou" literraly means "White Phoenix" or "White Female-phoenix" in exact translation. As a child, he was a cheerful duelist like Shobu. Since then, Hakuoh has become a cold-hearted villain, as well as Shobu's central rival. Later in the series, he is defeated by Shobu and befriends him, but in Duel Masters Charge, he allies himself with Zakira after being brainwashed into becoming his pawn, White. In Duel Masters Zero, he becomes similar to his old self and appears to be working with Professor Machi. He uses a Light Civilization deck. His main cards are Urth Purifying Elemental, Hanusa Radience Elemental, Alcadies Lord of Spirits, Alphadias Lord of Spirits, King Alcadeias,Holy Gaia, and most recently, Perfect Galaxy, Spirit of Immortality.

• White Soldiers (白い騎士団; Shiroi Kishidan; lit. "White Knights") - Hakuoh's dueling team. It's supposed to be the strongest in the world. They were shown on Season 1 and made a cameo in a flashback in "Duel Masters 2.0". Among its known and active members are:

• • Mikuni (三国; Mikuni; later Johnny Coolburns)

Voiced by: Udel R. Deet (Season 1), Paul St. Peter (Season 3)

The first of the Four Temple Guardians (四天衆; Shitenshū). He uses a Fire deck, and during his fight with Shobu he purposely copied everything he did in order to throw him off. He lost to Robby Rotten in season three, where his name mysteriously changed to Johnny Coolburns. It was later "explained" that this (and all other plot holes in the show) are due to alternate dimensions.

• • Gyujiroh Japan (邪藩牛次郎; Japan Gyūjirō) / Benny HaHa

Voiced by: Kerrigan Mahan (Season 1), Michael Sorich (Season 3)

The third of the Four Temple Guardians and Mimi's "twin brother" although in the Japanese version he's not related to Mimi in any way. He is often seen piloting a robot. He uses lies and cheating in his duels and hates both Shobu and Hakuoh. He returns in Season 3 claiming he has changed, but he is still evil. He ends up dueling Hakuoh before their match in Duel Masters Battle Arena. Afterwards, he injured Hakuoh so he would be unable to duel him the next morning. He ended up dueling Shobu again and losing. He is also working with Yumama and were possibly going out. After he lost to Shobu, Yumama trapped him in a room with Boy George. They both escaped in the same episode. He uses a Water Civilization deck, and later, a Wave Striker Deck during his tournament match with Shobu.

• • Aizen

Voiced by: Brian Beacock (Season 3)

The fourth of the Four Temple Guardians. He was defeated by Kyoshiro Kokujo before he can fight Shobu. He also lost to Hakuoh in Duel Masters Battle Arena.

Voiced by: Micha Liberman (Season 1), Terrence Stone (Season 2), Steven Blum (Season 3)

A self-proclaimed "evil genius" and another of Shobu's rivals throughout the series. Other characters make fun of his outlandishly styled long hair and all-black leather outfit. He uses a Darkness Civilization Deck, but later on the the subsequent series,a Darkness/Water deck. He has earned the nickname "Black Death", because of his relentless tactics. He became evil because people say he can not be a kaijudo master. In Season 2 he helps Shobu to defeat the P.L.O.O.P.s. In Season 3 he defeated Mimi but lost to Yumama in the semifinals. His ultimate cards are Dorballom Lord of Demons , Ballom Master of Death , Daidalos General of Fury, Olgate Nightmare Samurai, Deathliger Lion of Chaos and most recently, Demon Lord Ballom Emperor.

• Master (マスター; Masutā) - Little is known about the leader of the evil temple (in the form of the Junior Duelist Center) except that he's always seen in a hooded robe and most of his face is never seen. He is the main antagonist of season one until Hakuoh was defeated.

• George Kamamoto (ジョージ釜本; Jōji Kamamoto)

Voiced by: Tim Diamond (Season 1), Joey Lotsko (Season 2), Brian Beacock (Season 3)

Duel Masters Facts

• "Kaijudo" originates from the word "kaijū", meaning monster, and "dō", or "the way." Therefore, "kaijūdō" means "the way of the monster."

• The term "Kaijudo" is often used in Japan.

• The name "Duel Masters" is often believed to be a pun on "Duel Monsters" (the name used in the second series anime and English manga for a card game (also known as Magic & Wizards - that name is a pun off of "Magic: The Gathering") in the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga and anime series.) It actually takes its name from Magic: The Gathering, which had Duel Masters as its codename early in development. Yu-Gi-Oh! is even briefly referred to, when Shobu speaks of "that one show with the Egyptian guy with spiky hair".

• In the United Kingdom, Future Publishing publishes the Official Duel Masters Magazine.

• The first English-language season of the TV series was produced by Plastic Cow Productions. The second season that was created for the American market was produced by Elastic Media Corp. The third season was produced by Howling Cat Productions (featuring some of the former Saban Entertainment VA's, such as Brian Beacock, Philece Sampler, and Wendee Lee). In the UK, Duel Masters airs on Toonami and used to air on five. In the US, it aired on Cartoon Network.

• The titles of the TCG expansion sets are named in parody of other TCGs with obtuse titles.

• Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Shobu's name is a pun- "Shōbu" means "contest" in Japanese.
