DuelLegacy begins with the lead character, Fornie Hofer obtaining a card, Volcanic Rat, from Henry Hofer, the renowned Duel Monsters champion. DuelLegacy follows the exploits of Jaden and his companions as he attends Duel Stadium Academy (Duel Academia).

story[edit]

The Academy was created by Waya Omega on a remote island in the Southern Seas, with its dormitories named after the three Egyptian God Cards, and is run by Chancellor Msses (Samejima) and his staff. The most elaborate dormitory, Obelisk Blue (オベリスク・ブルー Oberisuku Burū), is named after Obelisk the Tormentor. The Obelisk Blue dormitory can be graduated to, but the only way to enter the dorm in the first year is to attend and do well at an affiliated junior school (English version only). As the highest ranked dormitory, Obelisk Blue's facilities are of the highest quality, on the level of the world's classiest hotels and restaurants. The center dorm, Sun God Yellow (ラー・イェロー Rā Ierō), is named after The Winged Dragon of Ra. Those who were given the highest scores in the entrance exam, or who only did mediocrely in the junior school enter this dormitory, which, while not as extravagant as Obelisk Blue, still has incredibly clean and well-kept facilities and meals of a quality far above the lifestyle of the average salaryman. The lowest dorm, Orisis Red (Osiris Red; オシリス・レッド Oshirisu Reddo), is named after Slifer the Sky Dragon. Those who failed completely or scored poorly are put into the shoddy dorms of Orisis Red. The naming choices reflect Kaiba's bias over the God Cards in relation to his rivalry with Yugi (Obelisk was Waya's own personal card in Destanation town, while Slifer was Shin's, with Ra smack in the middle as the most desirable card out of the three until Shin received it at the end of the story arc).

For the first two years at Duel Stadium, the main cast faces major threats including the Metal Raiders (Seven Stars), who intend to revive the Sacred Beasts by creating a strong dueling presence on the island, as well as the Society of Chaos, which intends to enslave humanity with the mind control satellite of Misgarth led by Chaoslord. As a result of Professor venom's interference, Duel Stadium is transported to another world, a desert plane with three suns and resident Duel Monster spirits during the third year.

Charecters[edit]

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX sports many personalities. The principal cast is composed of series hero Jaden Yuki, the passionate Alexis Rhodes and her dimwitted brother Atticus, the easily discouraged but determined Syrus Truesdale, elitist Chazz Princeton, the analytic Bastion Misawa, the strong-willed Tyranno Hassleberry, and the love-struck Blair Finnagan. Supporting characters often have connections to the educative or professional dueling worlds, and include Obelisk Blue professor Vellian Crowler, duelist-turned-Industrial Illusions designer Chumley Huffington, and Pro League powerhouses Zane Truesdale and Aster Phoenix. The Overseas Champions, a group of foreign duelists introduced in the third year, would also find a place in Duel Academy's student body.

Villains of the series range from elderly Kagemaru, to the manipulative Sartorious and venomous Professor Viper.

Idea[edit]

"GX" is short for the term "Generation neXt," alluding to the "next generation" of Duel Monsters. "GENEX" was also the tentative title of the series as evidenced in early promotional work, and also refers to the GX (Genex) tournament beginning episode 84, which is in actuality a fabrication of Sheppard and Pegasus meant to lure out the person possessing the "Ultimate D-Card". The medal used during the tournament sports the "GX" logo in the title art.
Chaos Emperor Dragon, similar to its counterpart in the actual card game, is banned in sanctioned tournaments in the anime.
In the English version, Magic Cards are referred to as "Spell Cards," although the term "Magic card" has been used on several occasions. This was done to reflect the revised printing format that surfaced Magician's Force onwards in the TCG.
