Yu☆Gi☆Oh! Sevens

In the ever-growing world of Duel Monsters, as duelists improve their skills and rise up the ranks, duels become increasingly complex. By adhering to strict rules, in addition to using and learning proven strategies, one can develop into a strong duelist. However, as a boy who loves inventions and discovering new possibilities, elementary school student Yuuga Oudou finds the current way of dueling predictable and rigid—in other words, boring.

Thus, he aims to craft a new path in dueling with his exhilarating new invention: Rush Duels. His ambition soon catches the attention of Tatsuhisa Kamijou, a fellow elementary school student, who brings him to a mysterious place in an attempt to discover the potential of the new system.

While Yuuga aims to implement Rush Duels as the new dueling standard and overthrow the conventions of the game, he opens the door to his ultimate goal—to make dueling exciting again.

The ending was everything!
It's the first time I dare to say that despite the obvious appeal towards a much more younger audience this is probably the best if not one of the top 3 best endings for a Yu-Gi-Oh show. From the beginning of a new mystery towards the creator of the Sevens Road Magician, to a new lesson to be learned about friendship and having fun which is impactful (specially if you're an adult).
It's no wonder many of us wish we could be children again. The story will make you realize just how special it is to embrace your younger self and ... be a better person.

It is also important to note that this anime isn't perfect by any means, not every character has rich writing, there's lots of comedian purposes for younger audience and you don't see much higher stakes that cause danger to the cast...until the end.

This isn't also your typical and old Yu-Gi-Oh that relies on the same predictable result in every duel because every protagonist has plot armor. I'm sorry but that is more than annoying to me. We finally got a protagonist that feels real and isn't invincible but also isn't dull. Yuga is a smart cookie in every way but he is still as humanly acceptable as possible and that's what I value the most.

Overall, the story is a powerful tale if you pay attention to it. Some episodes will make you question what happened to the story, but once they get back to the main focus you will understand how the writers fused both a good writing and a good time for kids.

Rush Duels are as fun as they look like but there are still older Yu-Gi-Oh players that won't embrace it and that's just the way it is.

The soundtrack for this anime is surreal whenever there is a serious situation going on. It is just that good.

My rating would definitely be somewhere around 9/10 if it wasn't for a few weaker moments and characters that made it difficult to have a full joyful experience but it is still a great story to be told.


Yu-Gi-Oh Sevens is much more than a Yu-Gi-Oh anime, is the tale of a brave and kind-hearted Yuga on his way to the road of victory! Thank you SEVENS!

Mixed Feelings

I can already bet before writing this, that there are going to be so many uninterested views on this Yugioh, as it's not the Yugioh we grew up with, that we loved and cherished. Because it's really not. Going from Vrains to this, is just like going from 5ds to the start of Zexal. It'll really take you out of it. But I can give it the benefit of the doubt, as maybe in the long run this set up may work out for them, or if they look back, and see if it did well or not. I can least say they tried in ... that regard. Along with the fact that the idea of Rush duels, brought new life into a pretty much stacked and overloaded game. As a player who can't really get back into it for those reasons, and seeing ow Rush duels brought that feeling back, it deserves praise in that regard.


As for the show however? It's pretty standard.

Story and characters: 6
The story while it's not complete and utter boring and bad. It's fitting for a kids kind of show, though again, it doesn't feel like a usual Yugioh show, but maybe that's the point? To be more low down, and free. To bring back the enjoyment factor, rather than be super heavy on it. Sevens brings the idea that Duels are controlled. That you have to go by tis system, or you risk your dueling being taken away. But that's where our MC Yuga comes in, and invents his own dueling in the form of Rush duels, and the story follows him and his friends path through Rush duels, and to be the best duelist. Pretty standard, and pretty alright for a kids show, but in a Yugioh context, might be that engaging.

The characters can sometimes be a highlight, but then sometimes they can not be. Sometimes having a core can really hit ome in a Yugioh show, and while certain characters stood out more, it was quite clear that some felt like one trick ponies, or just weren't all that fun. Besides those though, there are some good characters in there, that do deserve the spotlight. Romin is fun, Nail is a great character, and show much more, as if they have their own charms to them, and it really shows. Which perfect fits for the audience it's trying to meet. It doesn't need to be overly detailed, it just has to fit within it's universe, and it does it's job fairly well. It can be given props for that. No matter if the humor will be hit and miss depending who you are and your tastes, but you can see the fun they had with this, and it really shows.

Art and sound: 6
While Rush has a more it's own style compared to previous shows. It still really stands out and really does sit well with me. The animation of the monsters, and how they're animated with their backgrounds and such, it's really well done stuff. If one thing that they really got right when it comes to this show, is not only the style of the art in general, but the sound part too. All from the reactions of the characters, the OP and ED themes are a decent listen. It makes for a nice style, and a good listen overall.

Sevens feels like the people behind Yugioh wanted to try something different, and go a bit kid friendly, in order to bring a bit more fun to the franchise, which it honestly needed. On paper, yeah, it might not standout on top of the Yugoh pyramid. But it's certainly not a terrible show at all.

Not Recommended

Story is just 13 episode “arcs” which tend to replaced actual plot progression for gag plot twists to pull out the rug under you, also every arc repeats the same plot defending Rush Duels.

Characters have no depth apart from exxagerating silly anime tropes the show finds funny, no substantial development it and joke villains and there is a lot of them for both cases.

If you are expecting good animation due to the simplified below average designs then you would dissapointed as its a slideshow as per usual for Bridge, music is meh and the VAs are average at best expect 1.

Do you like Yugioh? Well ... this show takes everything good about it and goes the opposite direction.

Do you like kid's shows? This show is pretty bad even as a standalone, even its humor is not good.

I can give more reasons of what it does bad but you get the point, if for some reason you still wanna try it then the 3 episodes rule works for it(which is not a good thing).
