Duel Masters (デュエルマスターズ Dyueru Masutāzu) is a franchise based on a manga, an anime and a trading card game. The English-language version of the series made a three-episode preview premiere on Cartoon Network's Toonami block on February 27, 2004 (although it was somewhat edited for time.) The episodes then made their "official" premiere on March 13, 2004 on CN's Toonami spinoff block, the Saturday Video Entertainment System (also known as SVES or Saturday block is now cancelled) with fewer edits as well as episodes 4 & 5. Toonami then moved to Saturdays and premiered the rest of the series from then on. "Season 2" premiered on March 26, 2005. Season 3 began production in September 2005. Duel Masters 2.0 began on January 28th in America. Duel Masters often jokes about typical anime conventions, such as split-screens and a missing father-figure. Frequent references are made throughout the show to pop culture phenomenon, often at random. As such, they even recur as running gags during the course of the show. Another common form of humor found in the show is its breaking of the fourth wall. The characters will constantly say things like, "Looks like it's time for a fade-out,", "I hope the writers do better next week."," Why is the camera too close on my face?" or "You know, I like it when they use this scene." While the storyline is technically dramatic, most episodes are punctuated by a comedic storyline mixed in with the serious storyline. There are also various musical references: For example, when the main character, Shobu, attacks with a creature called Rikabu's Screwdriver, he says "It's hammer time...I mean screwdriver time." It also makes references to pop culture, such as when one of the characters, Kyoshiro Kokujo, says "I am dark...I am the night...I am Bat-oh wait, wrong show." Duel Masters also has promotional gimmicks which depart greatly from the traditional fantasy flavors embraced in The Gathering.

The card game is made by Wizards of the Coast.

The Duel Masters manga is written by Shigenobu Matsumoto, and is published by Shogakukan in Coro Coro Comics. It has not been licensed for the U.S. (although there has been an American created comic book by Dreamwave Productions. The first season and Japanese second season are loosely based on the manga.)
