The fourth installment of the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, began by Kazuki Takahashi (who created the designs for the main characters of this series). The anime follows the story of a rookie duelist called Yuma Tsukumo, and an amnestic mysterious being from another dimension, Astral, who is bonded to him. Both will begin the hunt of the Numbers cards, a special kind of Xyz monsters that contains Astral's memories. Their hunt will inmerse them in the frontlines of a multigenerational family feud.
This series presents the XYZ summon mechanic, and it was a soft reboot for the franchise, having no direct relation with the earlier series, having a more comedic and slife-to-life tone (with a younger protagonist) and having similar plot points to the Duel Monster series.
This series continued in Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal II.
