In Japan, Duel Masters has already spawned 11 television anime series since 1999: the first Duel Masters anime, Duel Masters Charge, Shinseiki Duel Masters Flash, Zero Duel Masters, Duel Masters Zero, Duel Masters Cross, Duel Masters Cross Shock, Duel Masters Victory, Duel Masters Victory V, Duel Masters Victory V3, and Duel Masters VS (Duel Masters Versus). The Cartoon Network ran the first anime series in the United States, but none of the later anime came to North America.
