Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Reveals 3 New Cards for Dark Side of Dimension’s 10th Anniversary Collection
Image by James RichardsonKonami has revealed another wave of Yu-Gi-Oh! cards celebrating one of the franchise’s most popular movies, including a powerful new version of one of its legendary Egyptian Gods.
The latest additions to the “Yu-Gi-Oh! THE DARK SIDE OF DIMENSIONS 10th ANNIVERSARY MOVIE BOX” include a new Obelisk the Tormentor Effect Monster, two Trap Cards inspired by the film’s duels and several returning cards featuring special premium finishes.
Originally released in 2016, Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions served as a direct continuation of Kazuki Takahashi’s original manga, following Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba after the departure of the ancient Pharaoh Atem.
The movie saw Kaiba attempting to reconstruct the Millennium Puzzle and challenge his greatest rival once again, with his plans complicated by the arrival of Aigami, a mysterious young man possessing supernatural powers.
One of the film’s most memorable moments came during Kaiba’s duel against Aigami, when he summoned Obelisk the Tormentor from the Pharaoh’s tomb despite the Egyptian God Cards having departed from the world alongside Atem.
The scene has now inspired an entirely new version of Obelisk, joining the previously revealed anniversary cards based on the movie’s characters and battles.
Konami has unveiled three additional cards, each recreating abilities or moments associated with Kaiba’s duels.
- Obelisk the Tormentor, the Pharaoh’s Memory
A new Level 10 DIVINE Divine-Beast Effect Monster with 4,000 ATK and 4,000 DEF, inspired by Kaiba’s extraordinary summoning of Obelisk during the movie.
Its once-per-Duel effect can activate when drawn or when an opponent declares a direct attack, allowing its controller to revive monsters destroyed that turn and Tribute them to Special Summon Obelisk.
If at least three monsters are Tributed, Obelisk can destroy the opponent’s monsters and halve their Life Points, recreating the devastating power displayed in the film.
- Enhanced Counter
A new Normal Trap Card offering three possible effects, allowing players to prevent effect damage and convert it into additional Attack Points, strengthen a monster during battle or inflict damage equal to an amount they have just received.
- Dragon’s Orb
A Normal Trap Card that protects the activation and effects of Dragon monsters from being negated for the turn.
It can also be banished from the Graveyard to add two Dragon monsters with matching ATK and DEF but different names from the Deck to the player’s hand, provided certain conditions are met.
The English card names are currently based on translations of the Japanese announcements, with official international names yet to be confirmed.
Alongside these additions, Konami has confirmed another selection of returning cards associated with The Dark Side of Dimensions, including Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon and Deep-Eyes White Dragon.
Other confirmed reprints include Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon, Blue-Eyes Chaos Dragon, Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon, Krystal Dragon, Kaiser Vorse Raider and Assault Wyvern, alongside several Spell and Trap Cards used during the movie.
Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon will also receive a special Ultra Rare Overframe version, allowing its artwork to extend outside the traditional illustration border.
The anniversary collection will feature 56 different cards, all available in Ultra Rare finishes, with 20 also receiving Secret Rare variations.
Four cards will additionally receive Prismatic Secret Rare Overframe editions, while nine will be available in Ultra Rare Overframe versions, including previously revealed cards such as Lemon Magician Girl.
The new cards form part of Yu-Gi-Oh!’s wider anniversary celebrations, which also include the official return of The Dark Side of Dimensions to Japanese cinemas, featuring exclusive Kazuki Takahashi artwork and special audio commentary from the Japanese voice actors behind Yugi and Kaiba.
The “Yu-Gi-Oh! THE DARK SIDE OF DIMENSIONS 10th ANNIVERSARY MOVIE BOX” will be released in Japan on December 19, 2026, priced at ¥4,950 (approximately $31 / £24), with each box containing ten packs of five cards for a total of 50 cards.
Individual packs will not be sold separately, and the collection is currently confirmed for the Japanese Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game, with no international TCG release announced.
