If Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! airs at an inconvenient time for you in the US, you now have another option to watch the series.
In addition to airing on DisneyXD every Saturday, the English dub of Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! is also being released on the DisneyNOW site on demand, though free releases of the episodes, as with Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS before it, are having their releases staggered. Subscribers (in the United States) however can access all currently released episodes.

Still wired that there choosing to dub the anime even through Rush Duels haven’t ever been imported to the TCG. I suppose there Rush Duels in Duel Links.
It’s still weird to me that Rush even exists….
Keep feeling weird in that case.
Weight wight Pappylarion – Konami needed something for younger/new fans of Yu-gi-oh! franchise, especially on Japanese side. The OCG/TCG is a clusterfunk of a game with anime that for well over decade was mediocre at best (and disastrous at worst) due to nature of the game making writing a hellish nightmare. Fans of original Yu-gi-oh! are getting older and sooner or later leave this hobby for one reason or another, OCG/TCG cannot attract enough new players to make it sustainable so they made easier, more flashy, modernized version of Yu-gi-oh!
“Still wired that there choosing to dub”
I wonder about that all the time. There’s no need to engage in xenophobic vandalism.
Instead of dubbing an anime where the card game isn’t even available in other countries why not just dub Gx season 4 and the Final arc of 5ds. We are about to get the Clear archtype in the TCG in the Maze pack.
Dubbing an old season requires a lot of work, since you need to match the original tone and censorship design, along with getting as many VA’s as possible that are very close to the originals(otherwise it completely makes it a half-assed continuation). There’s just as much as a lack of a business reason, since you’re printing more than just some new Clear World stuff.
Duel Links is very active and popular, so it’s not like people lack a place to go. There’s more than one way to get attention than physical product. …Also, the only other one is Speed Duels, which is compatible mostly with regular TCG cards(bar Skills), and it didn’t do so hot overall. Adding yet another one is very risky. And heavily splits the playerbase in comparison to the other which had a bit of a focus on nostalgia(but not enough to make it a fairly popular product). Besides, even if they did dub those, they still should be dubbing every season since some are just anime fans too and want to see the full continuation. Entirely ignoring a full series is far worse than two seasons/arcs too.
To encourage watching GO RUSH’s Dub on other Disney-related sites, it is implied that the first episodes of GO RUSH were liked by many people.
Which is funny since the first Arc is considered one of the weakest GO RUSH’s Arcs since it came out in Japan.
