Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS to Air on Sky Kids

Sky Kids has picked up the new Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS series for viewers in the U.K. and Ireland.

The Sky Kids app will launch Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS in October. The series marks the seventh installment in the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime franchise.

Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS introduces a new protagonist, Yuga Ohdo. The series takes place in the futuristic town of Goha and stars Yuga Ohdo, a fifth-grade elementary school student who loves both inventions and dueling. In his quest, Yuga successfully manages to install a new set of rules of his own creation known as “Rush Duel,” allowing for more fast-paced and frenetic dueling.

Sky Kids has already debuted season one of Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS and Yu-Gi-Oh! and has now picked up season two of both Yu-Gi-Oh! series, which are currently available on the app.

“As one of the largest kids’ digital platforms in Europe with millions of viewers, Sky Kids will be offering the best in anime with the latest series in the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise and more adventures from previous editions,” said Kristen Gray, president of Konami Cross Media NY. “Appealing to audiences worldwide, Yu-Gi-Oh! continues to perform extremely well by introducing new storylines, heroes and monsters, which will delight the fan base and attract new viewers.”
