ABEMA to Air All 224 Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters Episodes in One Marathon
ABEMA is treating a 224-episode back catalog as a scheduled event rather than an on-demand library, and adding a previews-only block that turns the show's own promotional material into the second night of programming.
Reporting from 1 source: Denfaminicogamer.
ABEMA will stream all 224 episodes of the TV anime Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters free in one marathon from 10 AM on September 13 to 10 PM on September 26. Aired episodes stay free to watch for one week after broadcast. From 10 PM on September 26, a separate nonstop project collects only the series' next-episode previews, free to real-time viewers.
The marathon runs sixteen days, with each episode free for one week after it airs. ABEMA has not framed this as a sampler: the full 224-episode run goes out sequentially, and the next-episode previews get their own nonstop block starting at 10 PM on September 26.
Those previews are described as having drawn attention at the time of broadcast for their striking lines and developments, which is why they are being compiled rather than skipped. The preview block is free to real-time viewers only.
Yu-Gi-Oh! is Kazuki Takahashi's manga, serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump from 1996 to 2004, and the original work reaches its 30th anniversary in 2026.
