Yu-Gi-Oh! Art Exhibit Gets Animated Promo Video
The Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise's official YouTube channel began streaming a special animated video on Monday promoting "KAZUKI TAKAHASHI: YU-GI-OH! ART WORKS," an exhibition devoted to the late manga creator. The event runs from December 12, 2026 to February 21, 2027 at Creative Museum Tokyo. The short brings Yugi and other familiar characters together in Domino City, with Blue-Eyes White Dragon appearing alongside Seto Kaiba. Eri Osada directed, Hiroko Utsumi handled the storyboard, Takahiro Kagami was character designer and 2D drawing director, and Haruka Taira was art director. Konami animation handled production. The project was made by the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series production committee for the 30th anniversary of the original manga's serialization. Takahashi launched Yu-Gi-Oh! in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump in 1996; the manga ran until 2004 and was collected in 38 volumes. He died in 2022 at 60.
