Series 12
Series 12 is the collective name for the Core Boosters released from 2023 to 2026. As it coincides with Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!, which promotes Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel, it does not introduce anime cards from a concurrent series into the OCG/TCG, instead focusing on supporting existing themes from the first 6 NAS anime series, from Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters to Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS. Contrary to Series 11 however, it does release cards from that were used in those series. Series 12 also features several archetypes and cards that compose storylines centered around "Diabellstar the Dark Witch" and the "Sinful Spoils" theme, as well as continuing the "Visas Starfrost" storyline. Additionally, each set introduces a new series or archetype inspired by an old iconic card, which include a retrain or reimagination for that card.
