Konami Cross Media NY is presenting its core animated offerings at ATF 2025, with an executive team including President Kristen Gray and SVP of Distribution Mark Kirk in attendance. The New York-based division is using the market to promote new seasons and established libraries of its globally recognized Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise.
The primary focus is the newest series, Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!, which is launching its third season (49 x 22’) and is available for all markets outside of Asia. The show centers on twins Yuhi and Yuamu Ohdo, whose belief in extraterrestrial life is validated when an alien named Yudias arrives on Earth. Yudias, seeking to end an interstellar conflict, believes that the solution lies in Earth’s popular card game, Rush Duels. The series promises a cosmic scale of action, featuring monsters, spells, and literally «out of this world» adventures.
Konami is also offering its immediate predecessor, Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS (S1: 43x 22’, S2: 46 x 22’ episodes), which introduced the faster-paced Rush Duels. The narrative follows Yuga Ohdo, a fifth-grader who invents the new dueling style, only to face opposition from the controlling megacorp, Goha Enterprises. Like GO RUSH!!, this series is available in all markets excluding Asia.Rounding out the distribution slate is the foundational series, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (236 X 22’ episodes), which features protagonist Yugi and his friends navigating a strategic card-battling game populated by mystical creatures and mighty spells. This extensive library is also available now in all markets outside of Asia, providing distributors with a well-established and large volume of episodes.
