Changes

Ritual Monsters have never been one of the major mechanics in the anime. A few prominent characters used Ritual Monsters in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'', including [[Yugi Muto]], [[Joey Wheeler]], [[Seto Kaiba]], [[Maximillion Pegasus]], and [[Alexis Rhodes]], but they were never featured as prominently as Fusion Monsters in ''GX''. [[Kite Tenjo]] used a Ritual Monster in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'', but that was the only time Ritual Monsters were featured in the entirety of ''ZEXAL''. Even in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'', which tried to show off all of the Summoning methods, Ritual Monsters were only used by two characters, [[Alexis Rhodes (ARC-V)|Alexis Rhodes]] and [[Aura Sentia]], neither of whom were featured significantly in the anime, but they did make a splendid appearance. In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'', Ritual Monsters were the first of the previous Summoning methods to be reintroduced in the anime, with both [[Yusaku Fujiki]] and [[Takeru Homura]] using one each.
