The Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG is ultimately derived from the manga and anime, right? I see many complaints about how characters in the anime “cheat”. Guess what? They don’t. They are not playing Yu-Gi-Oh!. They are playing Duel Monsters. You must think of it as a separate game entirely that happens to share cards and mechanics.

This is the fourth in our series on handshots. We’ve reached ZEXAL now, which is still on-going, of course.

This is the third article in our series about hand shots. 5D’s is more difficult to spot these in, as Riding Duels often feature very far-off hand shots. Let’s see what we can spot though and also take a look at Ground Duels.

This is a continuation of the previous article detailing this concept in Yu-Gi-Oh!. Here, we move on to Yu-Gi-Oh! GX. As a reminder, this is only the Japanese version, which you’ll want to keep in mind when we get to some of the “what is this doing here?” examples.

We’ve all seen at least one of these. A shot of a character’s hand is shown for a split second. You might get a preview of what they’ll be playing soon. Other times, they don’t play those cards – but the cards shown still make sense for that character’s Deck theme… most of the time.
