Yu-Gi-Oh!: Pluto TV cria canal exclusivo da série

Programação por enquanto se foca na fase “clássica”, ‘Duel Monsters’.

O serviço gratuito de streaming Pluto TV conta agora com um canal totalmente dedicado a Yu-Gi-Oh!, o canal 334. Por enquanto, é exibida a primeira série, Duel Monsters, com dublagem. Um canal da série foi prometido quando o streaming chegou por aqui, mas à época dizia-se que teria foco na fase Vrains, exclusiva da plataforma.

Vale pontuar que o Yu-Gi-Oh!: Duel Monsters (a do Yugi e Yami Yugi) não se encontra no catálogo sob demanda da plataforma, mas possivelmente entrará em breve (como já ocorreu com outras séries) — o animê foi originalmente exibido por aqui pela Nickelodeon e pela Globo nos anos 2000.

O primeiro episódio dublado está no canal oficial da série no YouTube, junto com alguns outros [...]

A Netflix possui 97 episódios da série, divididos em duas temporadas, em seu catálogo.

Sobre Yu-Gi-Oh!

O primeiro episódio de Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters foi ao ar no Japão no dia 18 de abril de 2000, com produção do Studio Gallop e da Nihon Ad Systems, adaptando o mangá original do autor Kazuki Takahashi, que vinha sendo publicado na Weekly Shonen Jump, da editora Shueisha, desde 1996. No entanto, em 1998, a Toei Animation também produziu seu animê de Yu-Gi-Oh!, sendo mais focado em outros “jogos” mostrados no início da revista, ao invés do duelo de cartas.

Com edições feitas nos EUA pela empresa 4 Kids, a série Duel Monsters conquistou o mundo, transformando o cardgame em uma mania. No Brasil, esse animê foi exibido pela Nickelodeon e pela Rede Globo.

Além desses, também rolaram os animês Yu-Gi-Oh! GX (2004-2008), Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s (2008-2011), Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal (2011-2014), Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V (2014-2017, disponível legendado na Netflix), Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains (2017-2019, disponível na Crunchyroll) e Yu-Gi-Oh! Sevens (2020-2022) e Yu-Gi-Oh! Go Rush!! (em exibição desde abril de 2022).

Os 38 volumes do mangá original foram publicados por aqui pela Editora JBC. entre 2006 e 2010.

Em 2018, o longa-metragem O Lado Negro das Dimensões estreou com dublagem em português por aqui em diferentes plataformas. Confira nossa crítica.

From Mundo Conectado:

É hora do duelo! Pluto TV lança canal exclusivo de Yu-Gi-Oh!

Está na hora de tirar a poeira da sua caixa de cartinhas, Yu-Gi-Oh! já está disponível na Pluto TV com Yugi, Kaiba e diversos outros duelistas da saga

Prepare o seu deck e chame os amigos, pois a Pluto TV preparou um canal próprio para transmitir a história original de Yu-Gi-Oh!. Você pode acessar, dentro da plataforma de streaming, a categoria Anime & Geek e assistir aos episódios que fizeram o Trading Card Game virarem uma grande febre ainda no início dos anos 2000. Vale lembrar que o serviço é gratuito e não exige que faça uma conta, então você pode assistir facilmente a partir de agora.

O anime é uma adaptação do mangá da revista Weekly Shonen Jump, criada por Kazuki Takahashi. Nele conhecemos o jovem Yugi Muto, qual conta com a ajuda de um pingente egípcio ancestral que desperta a personalidade do "rei dos jogos" para vencer diversos desafios no TCG "Monstros de Duelo". Junto aos amigos Joey Wheeler, Tea e Tristan, ele enfrenta diversos desafios como Seto Kaiba, Maximilliam Pegasus e outros vilões que planejam usar as cartas para seus próprios fins.

Ele foi exibido no Ocidente pelos canais Nickelodeon e pela Rede Globo, se transformando rapidamente em uma febre e levando diversos jovens a comprar as cartas que viam na TV. Logo o TCG ganhou espaço e até hoje é ativo, com diversos campeonatos mundiais e jogos de videogame que adaptam o formato, com a Konami trazendo eles oficialmente ao público.

O incidente que pôs fim à saga

O que veremos na Pluto TV é apenas o arco clássico de Yugi e seus amigos. Não estão na programação ainda a saga conhecida como Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, 5D's, Zexal, Arc-V, VRAINS, Seven e o mais recente - Go Rush!!!. Apesar de expandir ainda mais o seu universo, será difícil vermos uma sequência ou revival da clássica história devido ao recente falecimento de Kazuki Takahashi. O autor morreu afogado em um lago no Japão em 2022, encerrando qualquer possibilidade de vermos mais duelos da turma original.

Além de Yu-Gi-Oh!, a Pluto TV traz mais de 180 canais distintos em parceria com diversas companhias de entretenimento e 35 mil horas de conteúdo gratuito para o público. Você pode assistir via navegador, aplicativo para smartphones/tablets e dispositivos de streaming, além de smart TVs.

Pluto TV Secures Exclusive Rights to 'Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS' & Branded 'Yu-Gi-Oh!' AVOD Channel

Pluto TV Secures Exclusive Rights to Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS & Branded Yu-Gi-Oh! AVOD Channel

LOS ANGELES--NOVEMBER 3, 2020--Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM) announced that the leading free streaming television service, Pluto TV, has secured exclusive rights in multiple territories to Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, the sixth anime series in the fan-favorite global franchise based on the Yu-Gi-Oh! collectible trading card game. In a nod to the shifting streaming landscape, Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS will bypass broadcast and other windows in the U.S., Latin America, and beyond to make its debut on Pluto TV. The deal is part of a larger initiative to launch an exclusive Yu-Gi-Oh! branded channel on Pluto TV, which the service will bring to the U.S. later this month with LATAM to follow.

A long-running success on television around the world, the Yu-Gi-Oh! series have aired in more than 90 countries over the past two decades, including Nickelodeon's Nicktoons channels in the U.K. and U.S., with recent successes on digital platforms like Apple and Amazon Prime Video, in addition to Pluto TV. Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS will be the first series in the franchise’s history to skip both U.S. broadcast and the traditional digital release windows, a move that Cinedigm’s Yolanda Macias, EVP Acquisitions and Digital Sales, said “reflects the company’s ability to pivot easily with marketplace changes and disruptions to meet viewers’ needs.”

In Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, a duelist named Playmaker must team up with a trash-talking AI to thwart a nefarious group of hackers bent on destroying the cyber world. Ranked 6th in Best 100 TV Anime at the 2019 Tokyo Anime Award Festival, the series merges virtual reality, artificial intelligence, and high-speed dueling into a fighting extravaganza. Pluto TV’s dubs will feature all original music and effects scored for the Western market.

Upon its launch, Pluto TV’s Yu-Gi-Oh! channel will feature over 650 episodes across five series, including Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters. The international scope of the deal will allow for content to be released in multiple language dubs, facilitating wider viewership around the world.

“We are pleased to partner with Pluto TV to release Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS and the dedicated Yu-Gi-Oh! channel that will enable fans to enjoy many of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series,” said Mark Kirk, Senior Vice President of Digital Operations at Konami Cross Media NY, Inc.

“Yu-Gi-Oh!'s fandom is one of the most loyal and passionate in the world, and to be able to bring Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS to Pluto TV is both an incredible honor for us and a boon for viewers around the world, who can now stream this series for free,” said Amy Kuessner, Senior Vice President of Content Strategy & Global Partnerships at Pluto TV. “We are excited to bring this single channel dedicated solely to Yu-Gi-Oh! and making it easier than ever for longtime and new fans alike to access this world.”

Nicktoons USA May Not Air 'Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS' [Updated]

Originally published: Wednesday, December 27, 2017.

Update (12/18): Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like Nicktoons USA will be airing Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS after all. In an email to Twitter /@MrDueltainerfan, a Program Planning and Strategy Manager said that nothing further has been said at Nickelodeon n regards to VRAINS, and revealed that at this point, it's unlikely that Nicktoons will get the series.

Nicktoons USA, Nickelodeon USA action and animation channel, will start to premiere and show Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V season three on Saturday, January 13 at 9:00am ET/PT, beginning with the season premiere, "A Warlike Welcome" (#301)!

Unfortunately, however, due to Nicktoons taking a bit too long to air season 1 of ARC-V, causing the series to fall behind the rest of the world in terms of consumer products, marketing, and promotion, Konami has requested that Nickelodeon catch up with the rest of world, and the only way to do it was by skipping season 2 - which Nicktoons had planned on premiering during early 2018, and going directly into season 3. Nickelodeon confirmed the news in a email to ToonZone Forums member '4Kids4EverFandom'.

However, Nickelodeon also confirmed the exciting news that Nicktoons will start to premiere the brand-new Yu-Gi-Oh! anime series Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS from Fall 2018!

Update (1/6): Cinedigm, a leading independent content distributor in the United States, has revealed in an email to ToonZone Forums member '4Kids4EverFandom' that they are currently working on Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V season two, and are aiming for a digital release in March 2018 and the DVD/Blu-ray in May 2018!

Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS stars Yusaku Fujiki as the main protagonist, and takes place in a high-school setting, featuring Virtual Reality Duels in a cyberspace constructed with LINK VRAINS, the latest in virtual-reality technology. As with the previous three spin-off series (5D's, ZEXAL, and ARC-V), VRAINS introduces and focuses on a new type of Summoning: Link Summoning.

In the city of Den City, thousands of duelists take part in a virtual reality space known as Link Vrains, where users can create unique avatars and participate in games of Duel Monsters with each other. As a mysterious hacker organisation known as the Knights of Hanoi threaten this world, a high-school student named Yusaku Fujiki battles against them under the guise of Playmaker. One day, Yusaku encounters a peculiar artificial intelligence program, which he names Ai, who sets off a digital maelstrom in Link Vrains known as the Data Storm. As the appearance of this storm gives birth to Speed Duels, in which duelists surf the wind as they duel, Yusaku battles against Hanoi in order to uncover the truth concerning an incident that happened to him years ago.

Nickelodeon USA Acquires 'Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V' Seasons 2 & 3; To Debut On Nicktoons USA During Early 2018

Nickelodeon USA has announced the exciting news in a email to ToonZone Forums member '4Kids4EverFandom' that Nickelodeon USA has picked up the broadcast rights to Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V seasons two and three, and that Nicktoons USA will start to premiere the new seasons from early 2018!

Leading up to the debut of the second and third seasons of Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V, Nicktoons will continue to air brand-new episodes from Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V season one Sundays at 8:00am ET/PT.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V, the fourth main spin-off anime series in the popular Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, takes place in the near future place called Paradise City where Leo Corporation creates new advancements to Solid Vision that gives life to Duel Monsters. New advancements to Solid Vision give physical mass to monsters, environments, and allow players to interact directly with them. It also gives birth to challenging Action Duels. Action Duels allow duelists to traverse environments to locate Action Cards to help them in a pinch.

The story follows Yuya Sakaki who is a second year middle school student at Paradise City's You Show Duel School. Yuya's father, Yusho Sakaki, disappeared three years ago when he was scheduled for a Duel against the Action Duel Champion and was deemed as a coward who ran away. To clear his father's name, Yuya faces off against the current Action Duel champion and awakens a new power from his pendant known as Pendulum Summoning.

Yuya strives to master the art of Pendulum Summoning to become a great Dueltainer like his father. Yuya met a mysterious black masked Duelist who greatly resembles him named Yuto, who reveals that the world is split into four dimensions. Three of the dimension names come from the summoning methods used in the respective world. The names of the dimensions are Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, and Standard, which is the center of the four dimensions where Yuya lives in. Yuya and his friends become involved in the interdimensional conflict after Duelists from Duel Academy of the Fusion Dimension invade the Arc League Championship. Duel Academy Duelists turn several Duelists into cards under orders from Leo Akaba, Declan's father whose ambition is to unite the four dimensions. Declan forms the Lancers, a group of elite Duelists capable of fighting Duel Academy with Duelists selected based on the result of the championship to stop Leo.

Following the disappearance of Yuya's childhood friend, Zuzu Boyle, during the championship, Yuya and the other Lancers go to City of Synchro Dimension in hope to gain allies before Duel Academy invade it. To prove their worth as Duelists to the people of Synchro Dimension, the Executive Council of City signed them into Friendship Cup where Duelists compete in Turbo Duels for the right to challenge the Duel King, Jack Atlas.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V seasons two and three will see Yuya and his friends battling in the Synchro Dimension, Xyz Dimension and the Fusion Dimension.
