'''Shadow Duels''', known as '''Duels of Darkness''' in the Japanese version, are [[Shadow Game]]s involving ''[[Duel Monsters]]''. This term It causes the players to suffer real damage from the effects of any card played during the Duel. Shadow Duels have been featured in all anime and manga series until ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]''. Similar concepts which are not Shadow Duels have appeared in all anime and manga series. ==Yu-Gi-Oh!==The first Shadow Duel to occur in the series was introduced [[Dark Yugi (manga)|Dark Yugi]]'s Duel with [[Seto Kaiba (manga)|Seto Kaiba]] in the manga , during which the monsters were materialized and the loser suffered a Penalty Game. Kaiba was defeated and subjected to the Experience of Death. The next Shadow Duels took place between [[Yami Yugi]] and [[Maximillion Pegasus]] during the Duelist Kingdom arc. Pegasus Dueled Yami Yugi through a videotape and defeated him when the timer ran out before Yami Yugi launch a winning attack, capturing [[Solomon Muto]]'s soul as a Penalty Game. The two later had a rematch as the prize of the finals of the Duelist Kingdom tournament, though it was not played as a Shadow Game until after "[[Toon World (anime)|Toon World]]" was destroyed. This time, Yami Yugi was able to emerge victorious. Yami Yugi also featured played a Shadow Duel with [[Yami Bakura]] in all the anime and manga series thus faronly, defeating him. Despite the claims of deathtraps that would send the loser to the [[Shadow Realm]] in the dub, none of the Duels played in the Battle City preliminaries were Shadow Games. It causes was not until [[Yami Marik]] took over [[Marik Ishtar]] that Shadow Duels began to appear, and all of the subsequent Duels that he took part in were Shadow Duels, save the players four-way Duel to suffer real damage from decide the semi-finals match-up. During the effects Dawn of any card played on the Duelarc, Yami Bakura took part in two Shadow Duels, though these differed between the anime and the manga; Dueling [[Seto Kaiba]] inconclusively in the anime and [[Katsuya Jonouchi (manga)|Jonouchi]] in the manga, in addition to [[Yugi Muto]] in both versions. Only his Duel with Yugi ended conclusively; the others ended with no result.

[[Jaden Yuki]] mentions that the King of Games, [[Yugi Muto]], faced many Shadow Duels and triumphed; the fact that Yugi took part in Duels involving magic thus appears to be common knowledge in ''GX''.<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|28|ref}}</ref> That means During Jaden's first Duel against [[Nightshroud]], he realized that Shadow Duels really existed; having not believed in them prior.<ref name=GX29>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|29|ref}}</ref> Unlike the Shadow Duels that Yugi played in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'', which were invoked with a [[Millennium Items|Millennium Item]], these Duels were part invoked by [[Duel Monster Spirits|spirits of the Duel Monsters]] or by [[Shadow GameCharm]]s. This also means that it became common knowledge that Yugi played Duels involving elements of magic.<ref name=GX29/>

The [[Dark Signers]] are capable of turning Duels into Shadow Duels. When a Dark Signer engages in a Duel, the arena is surrounded by a forcefield of lightpurple fire, taking the shape of the Dark Signers' corresponding [[Nazca Lines|Nazca Line]] and becomes a Shadow Duel. When a brainwashed Dark Signer servant engages in a Duel, the arena is instead surrounded by a circle-shaped purple glowflame. When a brainwashed person Shadow Drone loses a Shadow Duel the [[Mark of the Shadows|Dark Signers' mark]] disappears and they return to their original state.
Shadow Duels are damaging to the Dark Signer's opponent, their environment, Duelists and even the Dark Signer who is dueling. The blasts from the attacks can be fatal and often cause damage even to the surrounding observers and area, ; [[Jack Atlas|Jack]] and [[Tetsu Ushio|Trudge]] blew up destroyed half a hospital. The Nazca Line shape around the area viciously tears up any objects in its path as it forms.
Many concepts similar to Shadow Dueling have existed throughout [[''Yu-Gi-Oh!]] '' series, including the original [[Shadow Game]]s of Duel Monsters, dueling Dueling with the "[[The Seal of Orichalcos(anime)|The Seal of Orichalcos]]" and [[Psychic Duel]]ing, as well as the technology at the disposal of [[YliasterIliaster]]. Shadow Dueling is said to be similar to Psychic Dueling, but is much more powerful. However, unlike the past series, these Duels are never referred to as "Shadow Games."
===Shadow Turbo Duel===
[[File:Condor Dueling Circuit.jpg|thumb|Rex Goodwin within his Condor geoglyph circuit]]
A '''Shadow Turbo Duel''' is a derivation of a normal Shadow Duel against a Dark Signer. It possesses all the characteristics of basic Shadow Duels, except that it occurs within the rules of a [[Turbo Duel]]. Like normal Shadow Duels, all impacts coming from monster attacks and effects are real. This results in the possible damaging of a [[Duel Runner]] as occurred to [[Yusei Fudo]].
The only mystical elements to Duels seen in the series are when [[Zarc]] or his [[Dimensional counterparts|fragments]] Duel; the shockwaves that they can cause are far stronger than normal and have been conjured outside of Duels.
