Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS Sets U.S. Launch

Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS, which marks the latest iteration in the anime franchise, is slated to premiere in the U.S. next month on Disney XD and Hulu.

“Yu-Gi-Oh! has a long history of success on Hulu, and we are now happy to broaden our reach by also bringing the newest series, Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS, to the Disney XD audience,” said Kristen Gray, president of Konami Cross Media NY. “The sensibility of the Yu-Gi-Oh! brand and its focus on suspense, mystery and adventure will engage viewers and deliver a robust kid and co-viewing audience for both Disney XD and Hulu.”

The series centers on Yuga Ohdo, who may seem like any other fifth grader in Goha City, but he’s about to take his favorite game to the next level by inventing a whole new way to duel—Rush Duels. Rush Duels are faster and simpler, but with new strategies that make each duel more dynamic than the last.

The show is scheduled to premiere on June 6 on Disney XD and June 7 on Hulu.
