The '''OrichalchosOrichalcos''', spelled '''Oreichalcos''' (オレイカルコス ''Oreikarukosu'') in the ''[[OCG]]'' cards are a , is an [[anime-only|anime-exclusive]] [[series ]] of cards that revolve around "used by [[Dartz]] and [[Rafael]] in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'']] anime. The Seal series is based on [[wikipedia:Orihalcum|orichalcum]], a fictional metal featured in several ancient writings, including the story of [[Atlantis]] written in [[wikipedia:Plato|Plato's]] dialogue, ''[[wikipedia:Critias (dialogue)|Critias]]''. In the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime, the "Orichalcos" [[Field Spell Card]]" that are exclusively used by s, when [[activate]]d, would trap the [[Duelist]]s within the seal and prevent them from escaping; the losing Duelist would lose their soul, which were then sacrificed to revive [[DartzThe Great Leviathan]]. They In the Japanese version of the ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime, the cards' texts are currently an all written in the [[animewikipedia:Enochian|Enochian]] archetypelanguage appearing in the circles, except for "[[Orichalcos ShunorosSword of Sealing]]", the only other "Orichalcos" card used by Rafael. In addition, the Field Spells all share the same effects, which doesnincludes increasing a monster't revolve around s [[ATK]] by 500 and move monsters to the [[Spell & Trap Zone]], preventing them from being attacked. "[[Orichalcos Deuteros]]" is the stronger version of "The Seal of Orichalcos", which allows the player to gain 500 [[Life Point]]s for each monster they controlled and [[Tribute]] a monster they control to destroy an opponent's monster. "[[Orichalcos Tritos]]" is the strongest form of the previous "Orichalcos" Field Spells, which negates the effects of a card effect [[target]]ing the player's monsters. The true strategy behind the series is to use the effects of the "Orichalcos" Field Spells and the revival effects of "[[Orichalcos Gigas]]" to [[stall]]the opponent while using the effects of " at all[[Mirror Knight Calling]]" and "[[Mirror Knight Token]]s" to implement the attack force. It was very likely inspired by In addition, the fabled Atlantean metal effect of "[[Orichalcos Kyutora]]" is used to reduce [[battle damage]] to 0 and, upon being destroyed, [[Special Summon]] "[[wikipedia:OrichalcumOrichalcos Shunoros (anime)|OrichalcumOrichalcos Shunoros]]", "[[Orichalcos Aristeros]]" and "[[Orichalcos Dexia]]", and convert the battle damage to "Shunoros'" [[ATK]], while the effects of "Aristeros" and "Dexia" further increase "Shunoros'" ATK.

It featured ∞ ATK/[[Life PointsDEF]] and an army prevented the player from losing the Duel; however, the player had to pay a heavy cost of sending 10 cards from the Deck to the [[monsterGraveyard]]sto attack.

"So far, the only cards in the series released in the ''[OCG]]''/''[[Orichalcos Kyutora|KyutoraTCG]]'' are " is [[SummonOrichalcos Shunoros]]ed in the " and "[[Spell & Trap Card ZoneThe Seal of Orichalcos]] ". Prior to protect it from its release in ''[[attackLegendary Collection 3: Yugi's World]]s '', the latter card was not originally a legal card, while it the former card was retooled as a [[negateNormal Monster]]s [[Battle Damagesupport]] that weaker monsters, like "[[Orichalcos Gigas|Gigas]]" would take by constantly rammingcard.
