Show Summary

Premiered: Mar 13, 2004
Status: Ended

Shobu Kirifuda loves to play the special trading-card game, Duel Masters. For many, Duel Masters is just a fun game, but for others it is much more. A few elite players can actually bring the card creatures to life. Doing so requires passion and discipline, as well as a type of martial art, Kaijudo, "The Art of Battling with Giant Monsters," which helps develop and strengthen this ability. Shobu is a good and passionate duelist but has yet to learn his true potential. He quickly discovers that he can tap into the power of an alternate dimension where creatures and the magic in the game actually exist. Shobu learns that, like his father before him, he possesses the power to be a Kaijudo master. As Shobu continues to search for his missing father, who has vanished into the card dimension, he gains notoriety and skill as a duelist and is often guided by memories of his father. What appears to be an ordinary game becomes a very real battle for Shobu. This power brings him in contact with others who share this ability, some good and some evil.moreless

Uh... you people realize there's a difference between copying and parody, right?

"Superb"

By nduns, May 18, 2009 Report Abuse

Yeah, this is a parody of both YGO AND anime in general. Duel Masters itself is a VERY underrated card game with more interesting rules than YGO. I admit the characters are unlikable, but hey, as this is a parody, it's pretty clear that the writers meant to do that. Anyway, it's funny. I'm not all too happy about the American references the US put in there(Honestly, Westernization is a bad reason!) but I still enjoy it. Anyway, as a regular anime, I admit it's average at best, but as a parody it works because, you gotta admit, it does a fairly good job poking fun at the anime community. Heck, they even make fun of the character designs quite a number of times. Anyway, this show's underappreciated. Don't take it so seriously, people. It's just a parody. This is like people saying Bobobo sucks just because it's not serious. It was never meant to be serious.moreless

"Terrible"

By Darkknight313, Apr 08, 2008 Report Abuse

This show is a Yu-Gi-Oh rip off with bad refrences unlikebale characters a bad plot and worst yet it's what destroyed toonami why did Cartoon Network agree to air this. I'm not actually a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh it seems alright at somes though I prefer GX cause it does more stuff unlike the original Yu-Gi-Oh series. I used to be fan of Yu-Gi-Oh i'll admit but then I grew up now I don't play the card game anymore and i'll also admit I watched every dubbed episode of this and I was hating it I don't know why I watched it just cause no reason I guess this is cancelled in both sub and dub anyways.moreless

"Terrible"

By Leu-kun, Oct 13, 2007 Report Abuse

Story: 0.6/10
Taking adventage of the popularity of Yu-gi-oh, they rushed an anime about what could be the rival of Yu-gi-oh in the TCG world. All the people seems excited by this game for no apparent reason as in other anime of this kind (Medabots, Beyblade, Yu-gi-oh and even Bdaman). Jokes are just bad... and when I say bad, I mean BAD.

Character desing: 3/10
The main character design is the lamest thing I've ever seen, yet the desing of the girls is average and some the bad guys have a decent one, but not the main character!

Overall: 2.2
Despite of maybe having a quite good TCG it isnt a good show, the idea of making it was just lame, trying to grab some leaders from the same that Yu-gi-oh traveled was a desesperate try of getting more money out of this.moreless

"Abysmal"

By coolchris44, Sep 18, 2007 Report Abuse

this show is a rip of yugioh, pokemon and the magic the gathering. it has elementals of all three in it. the main character is shobu who is a talented gamer. he is to cocky though. the show revolves around him and his friends. thye all play the game kaijuno or also refered to as duel masters. shobu befriends a girl named mimi who actually is a temple guardian duelist. this show is lame because it is a copycat show. if you really want to she a show about people dueling watch yugioh because it has a plot line that is much better than this show. they copied it yes they tid thats really the truth. its a very very very very very very very very very very very dumb show. i like mimi though!moreless
