Asian-English cards are cards printed in English for distribution in Asia outside of Japan and Korea. They are distinguished from English cards printed for English regions mainly by the Yu-Gi-Oh! logo on the cards' backings and set packaging, and the region identifier "AE" in their card number, though prior to Invasion of Chaos Asian-English cards did not use the region identifier and had the same card numbers as their North American English versions. These cards are only legal in Asia outside of Japan and Korea; they are not legal anywhere else.
Modern Asian-English cards were preceded by two cards (prints of "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and "Dark Magician") which used translated Japanese names and lores instead of the English TCG names and lores, printed in a fullwidth font. The modern cards are much more similar to their North American English versions, only differing by the aforementioned logo and (starting with Invasion of Chaos) their card numbers; in addition, all Asian-English cards are printed on the same card stock as Japanese cards, making them stiffer than their TCG counterparts.
Aside from the early "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" and "Dark Magician" prints, Asian-English prints have normally been of Booster Packs, with identical contents to the North American English release of the pack. All Booster Packs up to Enemy of Justice; Crimson Crisis and Raging Battle; the Starter Decks Yugi and Kaiba; and the Structure Deck Lord of the Magician had Asian-English prints. The Duel Monsters International: Worldwide Edition promotional cards were only released in Asian-English, and the Japanese World Championship Qualifier participation cards and World Championship prize cards have normally included an Asian-English card.
"Barrel Dragon" was printed in English for its release with The Valuable Book 5 promotional cards, but because it was distributed within Japan like the other two VB5 promos, it is a Japanese print instead of Asian-English.
Sets in this print were not printed for several years after Raging Battle, aside from occasional prize cards. In July 2023, it was announced that Asian-English products would be printed again.[1] The first Asian-English products to be printed after this announcement were Speed Start Deck Link Edition and Speed Start Deck Synchro Edition, released in October 2023.

Exclusive Forbidden and Limited Lists
Following the resumption of this print, the first Forbidden and Limited Lists for the Asian-English OCG were posted.[2][3][4] Similar to the Forbidden and Limited Lists exclusive to the Simplified Chinese OCG, only cards printed in Asian-English prior to the publication of each set of Lists will be included, and any cards in that print that are newly added to each set of Lists will be Unlimited prior to their new statuses, unless stated otherwise. Furthermore, the Japanese Forbidden and Limited Lists will take precedence over the Asian-English Lists for international OCG tournaments.
