In the [[Series 1]] and [[Series 2|2]] [[card layout|layouts]] (only ever used in Japan), the DEF of a [[Monster Card]] is displayed in the lower of the ATK/DEF boxes, located in the lower-right corner of the card, to the right of the [[card text]] box.

{{Infobox/Archetype/End}}
  
From the [[Series 3]] [[card layout|layout]] onward, the DEF of Monster Cards is displayed in the lower right corner of the card text box below a horizontal line, to the right of its [[ATK]].
+
'''DEF''' ({{Ruby|守|しゅ}}{{Ruby|備|び}}{{Ruby|力|りょく}} ''Shubiryoku''; Chinese: 守備力 ''Shǒubèilì / Sau2 bei6 lik6'', formerly 防守力 ''Fángshǒulì'' on the old Chinese-printed Japanese "[[Dark Magician]]" and "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]") are the points that determine a monster's '''defense''' when defending against your opponent's [[Monster Cards]]. DEF is short for '''Defense Points'''.
  
==Gauges==
+
If a monster attacks another with an [[ATK]] that is greater than the DEF of that monster, the [[Defense Position]] monster is [[destroy]]ed, but the [[control]]ler of the Defense Position monster takes no [[Battle Damage]] unless the attacking monster has a "[[piercing]]" [[effect]] where the difference between ATK and DEF is dealt as Battle Damage.
The following gauges are displayed to keep track of DEF in the anime.

==Trivia==
+
If the same situation is reversed, where the ATK is lower than or equal to the opponent's monster's DEF, both monsters remain on the field, but the controller of the attacking monster takes Battle Damage equal to the difference between the ATK and DEF values.
*The highest original DEF outside the anime or manga is 5000.
 
*The highest printed value of an DEF increase effect belongs to "Number iC1000: Numeronius Numeronia", which gains 100,000 DEF.
 
** However, the 100,000 DEF are effect-related.
 
  
==In other languages==

[[Link Monster]]s do not have DEF and thus cannot be changed to Defense Position.
