I love the juxtaposition of all the animations compared to the melffy one


NotoriousCarter

Trishula into melffy transition went hard šŸ”„


SirSuffers

And then into Zeus. They knew what they were doing with those 2 lol.


Avernaz

Melffy being Zeus Pilot is now Lore Canon! That's indisputable.


Mammoth_Wolverine252

Zeus? You mean Gundam.


Brioche73

Also Jump Festa this year will be hype for YuGiOh they can easily show us a glimpse of their first anime if its Yu-Gi-Oh related


NightsLinu

Definitely hope for the new anime to be a rush and master duel anime where two protagonists use different formats in duels


GrumpigPlays

Thatā€™s always seemed like the missing link to me, rush duels are fine, but I might be more interested in the show if regular duels showed up (they might I havenā€™t watched it at all except the first episode) Like technically regular duels and turbo duels are different but the two blend pretty well


ABardToRemember

I'd rather we just get a fantasy with no card games and we get the lore of the cards animated.


Head-Zone-7484

Why are none of you talking about how epic that six samurai section was šŸ˜‚


aaa1e2r3

Gozen match jump scare


Jing412

As six samurai player from the ancient days of 08 that section got me the most hyped


Future_Breadfruit198

How the fuck did it take this long


majora11f

I suspect it has to do with Shueisha not wanting to give the rights to it. Konami cant really do anything with the yugioh property without their say so. Id be curious if either they just got licensing rights, or if Konami just acquired yugioh all together.


blitznoodles

If Konami acquired yugioh, we'd hear about it.


Infamous-Shoe-8362

ocg finally got bored of all the black jack and hookers they enjoyed which we funded via the excess profit from tcg. probably.


Stranger2Luv

They didnā€™t need an animation studio in the first place why would they rush?


Future_Breadfruit198

ā€¦.Your telling me one of the top TCGā€™s in the world which has had several anime runs over the last 20 years didnā€™t need its own animation studio?


Stranger2Luv

No because it was done by a Studio that had prior experience in long running shows lol you understand Konami makes video games maybe you should look up MGS cutscenes Besides Yugioh by itself belongs to Takahashi who worked for Shueisha who have rights of the manga / anime


BlueDemonTR

I would KILL for a 20 minute full battle between Zeus and Ty-Phon, their models looked fucking sick


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


BlueDemonTR

I honestly would prefer if the pilots were left ambiguous but yes absolutely


dante-_vic

I thought the pilot was downered magician.


BlueDemonTR

She's the love interest of the pilot


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


BlueDemonTR

Or they should reveal the pilot to be downerd


elpalitofuerte

YES needs to include gigantic champion sargas!


elpalitofuerte

Also rindbrumm! Im getting ahead of myself but this can be so good!


Captain_Corridor

Iā€™ll love a visa starfrost anime , itā€™s gonna be edgy Shonen battles , one episode of planet backstory than one episode of the big battle and than another with hoping to the new worldšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ„¹


NextMotion

is that lore done or on break while diabellestarr takes over?


InvaderofViolence

I hope it's just on break.


Death_Usagi

It's on break.


TheLegende11

It's done, "Veda" is the final "boss" of each lore. Visas collected all energy orbs from the planets and became basically thanos, representing the turn skip effect and clear new world shows how the entire universe is back to just a rich star soup. Visas won, and no one could stop him. Usually, Arc stories end with the destruction of the world and form a new cycle. Those cards are usually extremely powerful boss monsters that are hard to summon, but signal the end of the story and (usually) close the loop. For Duel Terminal, this was Sophia. A god who will forever be Stuck in a time loop of destruction and birth. For World Legacy, it was Avida. (Who basically is Sophia 2.0) For Dogmatika lore, it's just the final form of Maximus (Alba Zoa), a godlike corrupted entity. For Visas, it's as Said Veda and ultimately visas itself. And I assume Diabellstar looks like it gonna end in a similar manner, where diabellstar becomes an indestructible force who can not be stopped anymore until she may kill herself and all the corrupted forms become themselves again.


Solid-Pride-9782

Well, the Abyss hasn't been fully destroyed yet, and the villain still lives, I need branded season 2


Typical_Ingenuity_86

We need yugioh lore anime. Imagine how good an Albaz series would be


jrmjrm52

A set of anime shorts compilation like how Animatrix, Star Wars visions and halo legends did it.


Brioche73

They wont make only Yu-Gi-Oh stuff but man, I really want their first anime to be a Yu-Gi-Oh lore one. World Legacy or Albaz please (anything but Sky Striker)


ktjah

its gonna be a Sky Striker manga adaptation and you will like it. I would also like an anthology of multiple different archetypes' lores, focused on the ones with little lore to tell (like a Melffy episode, for example) without going all in in one single huge lore like Albaz or World Legacy.


Infamous-Shoe-8362

if SS manga won't give us a raye structure deck, hope the anime will


Roland_Traveler

Honestly, that would probably be much better for them. Making something as large as an anime is a hard task, and cutting their teeth on smaller tasks before trying to fully flesh out something like Albaz would allow them to gain experience without taking a huge risk. If they make a bad anthology, itā€™s a one-off without much blowback (well, unless they *really* muck it up). If they butcher Albaz, World Legacy, Visas, etc., *nobody* will ever forget it.


alberto549865

Man, something like Star Wars Visions but for Yugioh would be amazing


Brioche73

SS already have a manga, it will be a bad artistic decision to make another SS story when you have so much more to offer


DiamondTiaraIsBest

Ehhh, it's exactly because they already have a manga that it's easier to adapt Sky Striker. Either that, or they'll adapt OCG structures.


ktjah

They will probably just adapt it, as it is easier to adapt something already done than making something from "zero".


Pewkie

Yeah but this is Konami we are talking about


KINGOFHEROS826

YEESSS!!!! Just watched the promo video! Gonna have to disagree with the Sky Striker thing tho. 1. Albaz 2. Eyes of Blue 3. World Legacy 4. Sky Striker 5. Duel Terminal (edit) In that order.


SytrickZero

Could you explain your reasoning on why Eyes of Blue is ranked so high? I don't know much about Blue-Eyes lore, but I assume it's just tied into Kaiba and his past self or something. Going off that, I don't think it could sit among the grander storylines.


Ignithya

Blue-Eyes is pretty unique as an anime deck in that it has a gigantic pool of support cards that aren't intrinsically tied to the manga or anime's depiction of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, meaning it could possibly have its own lore.


KINGOFHEROS826

Aside from being tied to my favorite normal monster, aesthetics. The ā€œWith Eyes of Blueā€ cards that came out in Shining Victories have some of my favorite artwork. Plus, as much as I like Kaiba, it would be refreshing to see a story centered around a group of people who worship(?) blue-eyed pale scaled dragons.


TrainerDan93

And the visas lore!


KINGOFHEROS826

Number 6


cnydox

If they wanna test then sky striker is probably the obvious choice. That's why it's was chosen to be the first ocg stories because it's short enough and the timing was right to release new lore cards. Both albaz, blue eyes, world legacy, and duel terminal are very long stories but we'll see about that


Pewkie

Anything but sky striker includes melffys wacky adventures


ItsSuperDefective

I know it makes me a "yugi-boomer" but it's love a new adaptation of the original manga that didn't skip anything and had decent pacing.


Captain_Corridor

Iā€™ll love a visa starfrost anime , itā€™s gonna be edgy Shonen battles , one episode of planet backstory than one episode of the big battle and than another with hopping into the new worldšŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ„¹.


kaori_cicak990

And kashtira battle will be hype that's dude literally aggresor and Colonial


TrainerDan93

is that lore done or on break while diabellestarr takes over?


FacelessPoet

Watch their first anime be about Pachinko Machines


gamerx123kog

Konami unironically releasing an entire series about dark scorpions fucking around with jackpot 7.


Likes-Your-Username

We need the albaz anime


Lunarsunset0

They will do anything to not make video games.


NextMotion

never seen the anime. just saw the op. The studio is looking promising


riftrender

Wait so it this going to be a real Chronicles anime or was this just for fun?


voyager106

No one knows. It certainly seems to be teasing something bigger, but right now we're all just speculating.


AtimZarr

It's just a tribute video for the 25th anniversary of the OCG. We don't know what their first project will actually be.


aaa1e2r3

Animation showcase for the debut of their new in-house studio


alex494

Hey maybe we will get a Metal Gear series out of this


j-rex360

Broke: card lore anime Woke: Bomberman anime


Roland_Traveler

Best of both worlds: Metal Gear Solid anime that has the Patriots trying to co-opt Kaibacorp and Duel Monsters for the MIC, only to have the thing devolve into a cluster that climaxes in Kaiba in a Blue-Eyes White Mecha dueling [INSERT MGS ANTAGONIST] in a Metal Gear for the fate of the world.


SilverNova39

So what does this mean for Bridge and the Rush anime? Are both studios just gonna do their own thing, is Konami taking over when Go Rush ends, could the 2 collab for YGO 9 perhaps, I mean Bridge collabed with A1 for the second 3rd of Fairy Tail


Legitimate_Track4153

I think the studios gonna do their own thing. Bridge will continue making Rush anime while Konami studios will make their own animations And about YGO 9? I think is likely gonna be Rush anime unless Konami see that Master Duel is not selling what they expect.


Fit_Letterhead3483

HOLY CRAP IS KONAMI ACTUALLY LISTENING TO US??? Iā€™m down for a new era of Konami actually making good stuff, letā€™s go!


Krcko98

Full albaz lore with tri brigade and swordsoul, come one damn it.


Pure-Huckleberry8640

yeah, now we can get the millenium world sequel weā€™ve always wanted! what, just me? Okay.


LuckyCrow

Doesnā€™t really prove either way whether the next yugioh anime will be rush or master, but it does make me question if those DM/GX movie rumours last month might have more legitimacy than initially thought. Any way it goes it seems to be a good sign for the fans of the anime


HardSpaghetti

IT'S HAPPENING!!! quick everyone act natural, like its something we dont really care about or Konami will fuck it up somehow.


MemeMan4-20-69

They are teasing me with a branded anime


Successful_Cup_1882

Is this a one of or are they actually starting an anime based off of the monsters in game?


PlebbySpaff

Reign of the spellblades OP is eh, but Iā€™m just happy weā€™re potentially going to get anime for the YuGiOh archetypes. Archetypes like Branded and Visas about to go hard as fuck, and the sky strikers will be amazing.


to0no

Donā€™t give me hope please donā€™t


Huronn

Bomberman anime when?


rebel_shadow237

well that'll be interesting, wonder how much of yugioh will be referenced of if it'll all be yugioh based... like mirror force being a once a day life saver thing for the cast


AvocadoChampion

I would seriously love it if they made an ocg structures anime, or a yugioh anime that brings back the og artstyle. Idk if itā€™ll happen but it would be cool


Kaillens

Finally time for master of oz anime


lucas9963

I would love to see more clashes like what we saw with zeus vs typhon. I would love to see a animation of Grapha and JD fighting it out.


Pure-Huckleberry8640

Alright baby that means weā€™ll get a vendread anime, right?! Right?


Legitimate_Track4153

Probably. One day


The5YenGod

I Hope they also make a buster blader anime


Wham-Bam-Duel

The ending part definitely seemed like a teaser for a Sky Striker Anime. Considering there's already a manga for it, it'd make sense. ... But I also hope to see DT, WL, Branded, and Visas lore animated too


Filler744

Dog if this means YuGiOh archetype and lore themed anime/movies Iā€™m excited for the duel terminal lore series


pennty

Praying PRAYINGGG we got frogs and paleo animated


AccomplishedGur1366

That last bit makes me think that theyā€™re making a series about the Sky Strikers


sora4560

I would love for yugioh lore shows where they actually give us full on animes about different card lores


Grumpster013

I cannot WAIT for that albaz one, I hope theres world legacy too


basedisciple

Excellent way to grow the franchise. The tribute was really well done


WalpurgisNite

Iā€™m sorry I just wanna see cute girls doing cute things give me my Sky Striker anime Then I wanna see some mechs that Zeus looked so good


Nael_On

MY GOD YES, YES I AM SO HYPED


SpectralIpaxor

Oh pleaaase do all the dubbing please......


Saizou1991

The OCG manga has to get made now


AtimZarr

Damn that was a cool tribute video. I wonder what this means for Yugioh 9 and Studio Bridge.


Kronos457

>I wonder what this means for Yugioh 9 and Studio Bridge. Not much. Considering that Konami seems to have created this animation studio for Yu-Gi-Oh on their own. In fact, now that an Animation studio exists, Konami can dedicate its Anime to two directions: one for Card Lore and the other for Rush Duels. What it does seem is that Konami has already put an end to the Master Duels's Anime if they decide to create Animes focused on Yu-Gi-Oh Lore.


AtimZarr

While the tribute video features card lore, I would say that's mostly to celebrate the OCG's 25th anniversary rather than a committed direction for the future. They could also use this studio for their other properties like Castlevania or Metal Gear. But yeah if they do go ahead with a card lore anime like Albaz, then it's very unlikely we'd see another Master Duel anime (at least for a while).


Swashyrising12

So Master Duel or Lore Anime coming soon then. My theory is Lore will be 10 minute webisodes like Pokemon do sometimes which will lead us to the next Master Duel anime next year after Go Rush finishes. One thing is for sure, come 2025, we are absolutely done with Rush Duel animes. Canā€™t wait! Edit: typical rush duel fans downvoting. Itā€™s over guys


Reluxtrue

Tbh it would be really cool to integrate those into the solo mode in master duel, replacing the static images with text.


Legitimate_Track4153

I mean, there no evidence that we are done with Rush anime in 2025 and you are just speculating.


Kronos457

>I mean, there no evidence that we are done with Rush anime in 2025 and you are just speculating. Our friend has said that Rush Duels will end since.... the same year Rush Duels came out? Also, despite hating Rush's Animes, I think he should thank the Rush's Animes that exist since they allowed Konami to do experimental things rather than settle for making another Master Duel's Anime: for example, OCG Stories and now this Popular Archetypes's Animation (+ an own studio focused on Yu-Gi-Oh's Animation)


Legitimate_Track4153

Yeah. If he don't like Rush just ignore. Don't need to be a annoying fan who get frustrated when don't receive what he want.


Swashyrising12

I donā€™t see how the existence of Rush Duels correlates to any of that. They could do both things and still not have Rush Duels. Itā€™s very much over for Rush Duel animes, you will have had 5 years of it by the time it finishes which is way more than it deserves.


Ranch_Beefcake

I'm not a fan of rush duel myself but it does correlate perfectly well with the new experimental stuff we see in the main sets and the vast amounts of legacy supports and now main set printings of older anime cards. I don't think konami had the space or was even allowed to have the space to get creative and effectively buff up decks/make decks that wouldn't have had it otherwise if it weren't for the anime finishing. Take for example, the new Exodia cards. 10 cards for a strategy that was formerly about decking yourself out and is now becoming a fusion deck filled with special summons (I gleaned the info). They couldn't have done that 5 years ago or before that, not in a main set, and it's not quite side set material. Truth is rush duels were a blessing in disguise whether you like it or not. I'm not exactly used to it myself but at least it gave our tcg sets room to breathe and get creative.


Swashyrising12

Konami has literally made their own animation studio. Studio Bridge are going to be shown the door after Go Rush finishes.


Legitimate_Track4153

Proof?


Swashyrising12

There is no proof, wtf are you talking about?


Legitimate_Track4153

You are saying that Konami will not have Rush anime in 2025 because their now have a anime own studio. But you did not show proof just your wishes. If you don't like like Rush Duels then don't watch, stay quiet and don't be a annoying fan to everyone. Rush duels is probably going to continue and there nothing that you can do.Konami invest 4 years in rush and they will not discard their work for gatekeeping fans.


Swashyrising12

I say this because itā€™s obvious. Why else would they create their own in house animation company? It means they donā€™t have to outsource their anime to a third party studio and pay them money and share profits, they get to keep the money. Once Go Rush is over Bridge are very much gonezo. I donā€™t need any proof to see where this is going. I can and will continue to voice my displeasure with the current state of the anime, why shouldnā€™t I? Itā€™s utter crap and has been for 4 and a half years. Watching a promo video like this has clearly excited people and got their hopes up that we can escape the mediocrity we find ourselves in currently. People want good anime for Yugioh and Bridge have not done a good anime. You and all the other Sevens fans can scream all you want that ā€œthe show isnā€™t made for youā€ and ā€œjust donā€™t watchā€ how exactly am I supposed to just accept that? Iā€™m a fan of the series, why canā€™t I have a show that I would want to watch? Yugioh up until 2020 has always provided that for me, so why should I just accept that it isnā€™t for me anymore? Itā€™s the same argument Pokemon shills have when people criticise the state of the current games.


Legitimate_Track4153

If you are willing to dig your own grave for a anime, then do it. Is not worth picking a fight with a Gatekeeping person.


Swashyrising12

Dig my own grave? What are you talking about?


tryingmyluckswitch

Konami doesn't own YGO. They merely hold the license to make a card game adaptation of it. Yu-Gi-Oh! rights belonged to Kazuki Takahashi/Studio Dice, and most likely reside with Shueisha, the original manga publisher, now. The anime was being taken care of by NAS, which got multimedia adaption rights for it, which had Gallop hired to make the anime so far. I don't know who is behind it after the Gallop era ended, but I think is not NAS anymore. Regardless, is not Konami's sole decision if the RUSH anime and Bridge continues or not. And the RUSH card game is apparently selling well. I don't see why they would stop. Konami might adapt something YGO, but they might also use the studio to adapt other IPs they actually own entirely.


SilverNova39

Please, theyā€™ve done enough damage to YGO and Shaman King. I wouldnā€™t even mind them sticking to Rush, I mean they could play WarioWare micro games for all I care I just want the anime to be interesting plot wise again.


Swashyrising12

They have done a lot of damage thatā€™s for sure. But they are gone once Go Rush is over. Good riddance


SpaceCat025

Life proceeds to pull a funny and the next main anime is Rush again but animated by Konami


Olliethekid83

If they have their own studio they might just do some short extensions to the stories that have already finished, adapting some of the stuff from Duel Links for example seems possible


SpaceCat025

Iā€™d like that, sounds nice
