Konami has officially revealed ten new Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG cards for its upcoming Seto Kaiba-themed booster set, bringing back several of the character’s most famous monsters with powerful new abilities and artwork.

The upcoming “Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Duel Monsters PRIDE AND SOUL” introduces a new theme called “Endless Darkness,” featuring updated versions of Kaiba’s legendary Blue-Eyes monsters alongside additional Dragons, Spellcasters and supporting Spell and Trap Cards.

Seto Kaiba has been one of Yu-Gi-Oh!’s most important characters since the original manga and anime, serving as Yugi Muto’s greatest rival and building his reputation around the immense power of Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

His obsession with the monster became central to many of his most memorable duels, with Kaiba developing increasingly powerful versions of Blue-Eyes throughout the franchise, including Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon.

The latter made its debut in the 2016 movie Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions, which followed Kaiba’s attempts to challenge the Pharaoh Atem after the conclusion of the original manga.

Konami has also been revisiting the movie through its new tenth-anniversary card collection, featuring several Blue-Eyes monsters and an entirely new version of Obelisk the Tormentor inspired by Kaiba’s duel against Aigami.

For PRIDE AND SOUL, the new Endless Darkness theme builds on Kaiba’s existing cards with additional abilities focused on banishing and summoning Blue-Eyes monsters, protecting powerful Dragons and supporting both Fusion and Ritual Summoning.

The ten newly revealed cards include six Effect Monsters, three Spell Cards and a Trap Card, with several drawing inspiration from monsters Kaiba used throughout the original series and its subsequent movies.

The new cards are as follows, with English names currently based on translations of the Japanese OCG announcement.

• Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon, the Guided Phantom Beast

A new 3,000 ATK version of Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon that can Special Summon itself by banishing Blue-Eyes White Dragon, while also allowing players to activate Endless Darkness directly from their Deck.

• Krystal Cloud Dragon

A Level 6 Dragon with 2,500 ATK that can summon itself under certain conditions and search for additional monsters associated with Endless Darkness.

• Assault Slash Wyvern

A Level 4 Dragon capable of sending Blue-Eyes monsters from the Deck to the Graveyard or banishing them, before helping summon stronger monsters.

• Saggi the Dark Sacrifice Clown

A new version of Kaiba’s original Saggi the Dark Clown that can search supporting Spell and Trap Cards, destroy opposing monsters and protect friendly Dragons from destruction.

• Blue-Eyes Chaos MAXIMUM Dragon

A powerful new Ritual Monster with 4,000 ATK that doubles the battle damage it deals, while allowing monsters associated with Endless Darkness to inflict piercing damage when attacking defending monsters.

• Neo Blue-Eyes Hyper Ultimate Dragon

An enormous Level 12 Fusion Monster with 4,500 ATK, capable of attacking up to three monsters during each Battle Phase and banishing opposing monsters that activate their effects.

• Endless Darkness

A new Field Spell that protects monsters with at least 4,000 original ATK from opposing targeting and destruction effects, while also helping players search for additional cards.

• Neo Chaos Form

A Spell Card that supports both Fusion and Ritual Summoning, allowing players to summon powerful Blue-Eyes, Chaos and Black Luster Soldier monsters using cards from different locations.

• Dimensional Ascension

A Spell Card that can revive monsters from the Graveyard or banishment, including Blue-Eyes White Dragon under specific conditions.

• Pandemic Infection

A Trap Card that allows players to sacrifice Life Points to weaken their opponent’s monsters, with an additional effect capable of banishing a monster whose ATK has been reduced to zero.

Among the biggest additions is Blue-Eyes Chaos MAXIMUM Dragon, which builds on the original Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon’s devastating battle damage effects while providing additional support for the new Endless Darkness strategy.

Konami has also confirmed that the card will receive a special Prismatic Secret Rare Overframe edition, allowing its artwork to extend outside the traditional illustration border.

The Overframe format was first introduced to the Japanese OCG through the LIMIT OVER COLLECTION series, bringing expanded artwork to some of the franchise’s most famous monsters.

Another bonus for collectors comes through the “+1 Expansion Pack,” which will be included with eligible PRIDE AND SOUL booster boxes.

Konami has revealed that the bonus pack will feature a newly illustrated version of “The Melody of Awakening Dragon,” a popular Spell Card closely associated with Kaiba’s Blue-Eyes strategy.

The new booster set will also introduce other themes unrelated to Kaiba, alongside support for existing decks, with further card reveals expected ahead of its release.

“Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Duel Monsters PRIDE AND SOUL” is scheduled for release in Japan on January 23, 2027, with individual five-card booster packs priced at ¥198 (approximately $1.25 USD / £0.95 GBP).

Each booster box will contain 30 packs, with the Japanese OCG release also offering the special +1 Expansion Pack as a box purchase bonus.

An English-language TCG release has yet to be announced.
