'''Defense Position''' (守備表示, Shubi Hyōji, called '''Defense Mode''' in the anime) is a [[Battle position]] in which a [[Monster Card]] can be either [[face-up]] or [[face-down]], in a Horizontal Position. In this position, the [[DEF]] value is used to represent this card, except where a card effect requires a specific examination of the [[ATK]] value.
In the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'' anime, Defense Position monsters become blue-colored.
