The popular card game Yu-Gi-Oh! stemmed from an original concept named Duel Monsters. This eventually turned from a manga series into an anime which gained a lot of attention. The Japanese “season zero” is much darker and focuses less on the card game(which was made afterwards). But the entire series & TCG has become very popular around the world.

Pixiv is a social network for artists to publish their drawings and digital works. The community is centered in Japan and thus focuses mostly on Japanese submissions. These also tend to be the most obscure, unique, and captivating pieces of fan artwork. In this showcase I put together 40 brilliant pieces of Yu-Gi-Oh! fan artwork centering around the original anime show. Fans who love the series will truly enjoy this collection of nostalgic art pieces reminiscent of the early days in Yu-Gi-Oh!’s history.
