Rank
,generally?
A '''Rank''' (Japanese: ランク ''Ranku'') is a property exclusive to [[Xyz Monster]]s, in place of a [[Level]].
The [[original Rank]] of an Xyz Monster Card is generally represented by a number of stars [[File:Rank Star.svg|18px|alt=a yellow star on a black circle]] printed in the top-left. The Rank stars being left-aligned contrasts to the right-alignment of Level stars.
In the ''[[OCG]]'' and ''[[TCG]]'', monsters' printed Ranks can range from 0 to 12 (though all monsters with a printed Rank of 0 have a [[Rank condition]] stating that their original Rank is to be treated as a different value). In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'' anime, Xyz Monsters with an original Rank of 13 have also been seen. With the exception of "[[Number 93: Utopia Kaiser]]" and "[[Number 100: Numeron Dragon]]", a monster's printed Rank is the same as the Level of its required [[Xyz Material]]s (including Rank 0 monsters, whose required Xyz Materials are themselves Xyz Monsters that have no Level).
