This second incarnation of the Yu-Gi-Oh manga series was produced by TV Tokyo based solely on Volumes 8-38. It has no relation to the earlier Toei Series Timeline (In order to prevent this common mistake, the series was Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters in Japan)

This decision to leave out earlier events left many plot holes in the series, such as the main cast's first encounters with Yugi, their game with Bakura and Yugi's encounter with Shadi. These were filled in by similarly themed episodes in later episodes and a series of flashbacks.

Two English-language dubs were produced, one by 4kids Entertainment, which saw a lot of footage cuts and name changes to be palatable for a younger age group. The second, produced for Singapore, was entirely uncut and used the same Americanized names as the U.S./Canada/UK version.
