Or is it the oldest…?
リチュアル召喚 Richuaru Shoukan (Ritual Summon)
“An ominous monster appears, as if tearing apart the universe itself…! What exactly is ‘Ritual Summoning’…!?”
Of what is known, it appears Ritual Summons in Rush Duel are performed using a Spell Card and monsters on your field, and the monster appears to be summoned from your Extra Deck, not your hand.
The exact full details are not revealed at this time, similar to the arrival of “Yggdrago the Sky Emperor”, where the exact details were obscured on the first appearance of the monster.
When there is more information, we will report it in a timely manner and clarify how Ritual Summon in Rush Duel works. Thank you for understanding.

We didn’t get a Rush reveal not even artwork after the end of today’s episode. There may be a V-JUMP article later tonight detailing more on Rituals.
If the materials in hand are to be considered, the Ritual is any Level from 8 to 11 since he Tributed all 3. I suspect non generic materials (maybe LIGHT) as opposed to any.
The Ritual Spell seems too generic to be a Praime exclusive and resembles Fusion.
Interesting choice to introduce Ritual Summoning with only 15 episodes left.
thing is the ending was renewed i hiiiighly doubt that would happen with 15 episodes and its 16 my friend this was 135 today. so it was most likely added more episode after that. plus it was dub plus it wasnt a reliable source to found out later
YGO9 is undoubtedly a sequel series and will somehow involve Yudias (and maybe Kuaidul and Zuwijo).
Fusions were also a late SEVENS addition with the majority of the cast only obtaining it with about 25 episodes remaining as well. They managed to squeeze a lot of Fusions during that time so it may be the case here.
We have a healthy number of Contacts now and they were also introduced about 6 months ago too.
I think Ritual Summon is a Preview or Clue for Yu-Gi-Oh 9th (in fact, the Episode made a lot of emphasis on the fact of the existence of Different Worlds)
Even the Description of Ritual Summon mentions it: “An ominous monster appears, as if tearing apart the universe itself…!”
It is emphasized that Ritual Summon seems to come from another part of the Universe or a Different World (not something that exists in GO RUSH’s World)
I wouldn’t be surprised if Ritual Summon is the main, central gimmick of Yu-Gi-Oh 9th.
Nah they introduced fusions halfway through sevens,and just introduced contact fusions aswell
Even with the few details we know, it seems like Ritual Summon is completely different in Rush Duels.
– First, it’s the obvious, Ritual Monsters seem to come from the Extra Deck and not the Main Deck (something that many players asked for Rituals to be from the beginning of Yu-Gi-Oh)
– Second, from what little we can see, it seems like it will be similar to Fusion Summon in its early days: you require Monsters on the Field and a Spell Card (I guess the new addition is that you now have to collect the correct Levels to get Ritual Summon)
Thats it I am quitting Rush Duels and its media, why even exist when they just steal Master Duel mechanics. Goodbye Rush Duels, sad we have to part on these terms.
The game has reached a level of stagnation which is why Konami brought Rituals into the format. You can’t get by just with Maximum and Fusion for too long.
We haven’t had a new mechanic in over 3 years. Equip Spells and Contact Fusions were just a detour.
you wasnt even playing it in the first place. quit it
And the best they could do was take and revise yet another Master Duel mechanic, Konami has been on its B game for a while. Oh well one less thing to keep track of for me.
Technically… I don’t know if it’s stealing considering that already having Ritual Monsters in the Extra Deck makes Ritual Summon very different in Rush Duels.
Also, more than one person was even expecting or was upset that Ritual Monsters were left out in Rush Duels (even so, we don’t have Flip Monsters even though we could have had them with Dark Matter)
It’s literally the same franchise. Also, this concept existed in the original Yugioh Manga/Anime and put into some early games(like Dark Duel Stories), where the Ritual Spell only summoned the Monster. The physical Ritual Monster could be summoned without it, but it generally wasn’t worth it due to the Deck Cost, etc. It just had to be there so it made sense game-wise. How can you summon it if it doesn’t exist as a literal card? Besides that, the normal physical game made them into cards.
You can’t really steal from yourselves. Master Duel didn’t create this concept either way.
And people said it wouldn’t happen, I feel redeemed for huffing all that copium this whole time. Now all that remains is to speculate what kind of Rituals will we see in the future, classic ones or brand new ones. :O
I was wondering how rush would deal with ritual summon. In a game where you draw until you have five, you need to empty your hand every turn if no card requires you to keep cards in your hand, so ritual monsters could easily become bricks, since you need something to ritual summon then or, otherwise, they would be still in your hand next turn. Moving them to extradeck was probably the best solution. It was either that or make them extremely broken so they cant never bricked. Konami is obviously interested in making ritual summon a not failed but still balanced mechanic.
Rituals from the ED, finally! I wondered if Rush would get Rituals eventually or a unique Extra Deck monster. Turns out the answer was yes to both! Awesome!
Rush duelling ritual monsters, ow God that must be what that new galactic oblivion is a ritual monster. If so I hope they make it a titan that ends the series.
Time for a new master duel anime
We only have a Monster type addition in OCG/TCG, Illusion-type, since the addition of Link Monsters, to mimic Galaxy-type Monsters being added in Rush Duel format.
The OCG/TCG needs a new staple to rebalancing the format: the possible ban on Maxx “C” in OCG is a hint about future additions.
Yu-Gi-Oh 9th may add Synchro Monsters to Rush Duel, if YGO9 will be a Rush Duel anime.
About Ritual Summoning in Rush Duel: Make Ritual Monsters in Extra Deck is a solution due to Rush Duel format, but since the beginning of franchise, many OCG/TCG fans asked for Ritual Monsters being on Extra Deck due to difficulty of Ritual Summon at modern Yu-Gi-Oh.
