Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!

Set in Mutsuba-cho, where the Rush Duel card game originated, Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! follows twins Yuuhi and Yuamu Oudou, who run UTS, a jokey outfit claiming to evict troublesome aliens through Rush Duel matches. Their routine flips when they discover a real spaceship and rescue Yudias, an alien refugee from the Belgar Cluster who wants Rush Duel to guide his people toward a new life. Yudias knows nothing about the game, so Yuuhi steps in to teach him by challenging him to a duel. The show mixes lighthearted family moments, training scenes, and sci-fi oddities while keeping its focus on card battles and forming unexpected friendships, without revealing later surprises or outcomes.

Released in 2022, GO RUSH!! was created by Toshimitsu Takeuchi as the latest entry in the Yu-Gi-Oh franchise. The anime features voice talent including Koko Fukushima as Yuamu, Arthur Lounsbery as Yudias, Toshiki Kumagai as Yuuhi, Takuya Eguchi as Zweejo, and Natsuki Hanae as Manabu, and it continues the series' tie to Rush Duel gameplay.

The series has not earned major industry awards or high-profile nominations so far. That said, it has found a steady niche audience among younger viewers and long time fans of Yu-Gi-Oh, who follow new episodes and soundtrack or card announcements, and it remains part of the franchise's ongoing television output.

Reception has been mixed to mildly positive, reflected in modest user ratings like a 6.7/10 average from a small sample. Reviewers and fans point to its energetic, kid-friendly tone and the fresh sci-fi angle provided by alien characters, while some note it plays safe compared with darker entries. Recurring themes include friendship, learning new skills, family bonds, and searching for a safe future, all framed around colorful duels and episodic adventures.
