{{Turn Structure}}

The '''End Step''' (Japanese: エンドステップ ''Endosuteppu'') is the last step in the [[Battle Phase]]. It is also commonly referred to in card effects as "the end of the Battle Phase".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=F&last=H |title=Individual Card Rulings [A-C&#93;  |publisher=UDE  |at=Ambush Fangs  |accessdate=2 December 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090217182013/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=A&last=C  |archivedate=17 February 2009}}</ref>

The End Step is traditionally entered from the [[Battle Step]], although card effects may force it to be entered from the [[Start Step]] instead (such as those of "[[Electromagnetic Turtle]]" and "[[Scrubbed Raid]]"). If the Battle Phase is skipped to another [[phase]] due to a card effect like "[[Flashbang]]" or "[[Neko Mane King]]", the End Step is never entered.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=F&last=H |title=Individual Card Rulings [F-H&#93;  |publisher=UDE  |at=Flashbang  |accessdate=2 December 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090226221414/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=F&last=H  |archivedate=26 February 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=F&last=H |title=Individual Card Rulings [F-H&#93;  |publisher=UDE  |at=Helpoemer  |accessdate=2 December 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090226221414/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=F&last=H  |archivedate=26 February 2009}}</ref>

==Breakdown of the End Step==
* [[Fast effect]]s and appropriate [[Trigger Effect|Trigger]]/[[Trigger-like Effect]]s may be activated here, such as the effects of "[[Ancient Forest]]", "[[Gladiator Beast]]" monsters, and "[[Skull Conductor]]", as per the rules of [[fast effect timing]].<ref>{{cite book  |last=Konami  |title=Absolute Powerforce Sneak Peek – Card Rulings (version 1.0)  |url=http://www.yugioh-card.com/en/gameplay/rulings/ABPF_sneak_ruling.pdf  |date=5 February 2010  |at=Skull Conductor}}</ref>
