GX follows student Jaden Yuki at a duel academy where he learns the game of Duel Monsters, and makes some interesting friends along the way. The show ran for 180 episodes until 2008.
At the same time, Yu-Gi-Oh! Has also announced that a string of promotional anime shorts will release monthly in 2025 too, as part of Konami's Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game: The Chronicles. The shorts will be available on Yu-Gi-Oh!’s official YouTube channel. Check out the promotional video below.
