A scripted duel is a non-canon duel in which 4Kids Entertainment English dub voice actors are invited to reprise their roles in a theatre-like fashion at a public Tournament. As the voice actors read their parts through the duel, a live video feed of a Playing Field managed by two duelists shows the current state of the duel. These duelists may sometimes have special roles to act out certain card effects: Pegasus hid a monster underneath the "Toon World" card before summoning a Toon counterpart and places Toon monsters underneath "Toon World" when a monster would be protected by its own effect; Pegasus performed a winding action with his hand when activating Wind-Up effects; Yugi took out four copies of "Magical Hats" when using its effect; Yugi placed a deck full of "Kuriboh" on the field when activating "Multiply"; in the most recent scripted duel, music played during Yugi's transition into Yami Yugi and when he calls upon the Heart of the Cards.

Script

The script contains a small plot involving two or more characters meeting at the tournament event and one of them eventually challenging another to a duel. This script also gives a lot more references to Game Mechanics such as chains and missing the timing as opposed to dialogue in the manga or anime, as well as often the fourth wall. The dialogue is intended to be humorous and is slightly cruder compared to 4Kids dialogue, to complement the more mature audience of tournament players.

Decks

The live video feed features duelists with physical copies of the cards mentioned in the script. Duelists draw and play cards normally. Whenever a card is to be searched from the deck per Card effect, the card meant to be searched is already on top of the deck or in an otherwise pre-determined location in order to avoid shuffling the rigged deck.

The decks are played with the characters' most iconic monsters from the anime, although occasionally cards that the character have never played or have never even been seen in the series have been shown, usually Staple cards. The script does not adhere strictly to the Advanced Format, and it is not uncommon for characters to play cards Forbidden at the time.

The duel is conducted under the rules set in the anime, with each duelist starting with 4000 Life Points and using card effects as shown in the anime.
