	The series is loosely connected to the '']'' series (known internationally as simply ''Yu-Gi-Oh!''), which was made by ] and aired on ]; both anime series are based on the same manga series.

Characterization was slightly modified. For instance, Miho is a "]" in the anime while in the manga she is a shy student librarian.

	New characters and plots, such as those relating to the four game masters, were added, and there are more occurrences of ] and Duel Monsters (Magic and Wizards in the original Japanese manga) than in the corresponding manga, and in some cases, plot points and elements were taken from volume 8 onwards of the manga, for instance field advantages as seen in Duelist Kingdom and Jonouchi's sister ], who was introduced later in the manga. Unlike the second series, the card game (Duel Monsters) is not the sole focus of the show. The last episodes of the series focus on the battle between Yugi and ]. This series had different voice actors and different character designs than the second series (e.g. ]'s hair is green in Toei's anime). The series has not been licensed for an ] release.

	The 1999 '']'' film uses the characters from this anime series.
