'''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!

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."

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]].

It possesses all the characteristics Another consequence of this dangerous kind of Dark Turbo Dueling, except is that it occurs within wherever the rules surroundings of the area on which the Nazca Line geoglyph materializes are destroyed. As long as a [[Shadow Turbo Duel]]. Howeveris occurring, similar to shadow dueling, all impacts coming from monster the materialized attacks and effects are real. This of either players' monsters often indirectly results in the possible damaging devastation of a [[any objects in close proximity, as seen during the Shadow Turbo Duel Runner]] as it occurred to between [[Yusei FudoCrow]]and Greiger.

Another consequence led by this dangerous kind of The five Shadow Turbo Dueling is Duels that wherever area on which the Nazca Line geoglyph materializes, its surroundings is surely to be trashed and destroyed. As while this Dark Turbo Duel takes place through all the respective area, the attacks coming from either playerhave occurred have been [[Yusei Fudo]]'s monsters which becomes real, whatever impact coming from these indirectly results in the devastation of any near object. As this was clearly seen during the Shadow two Turbo Duel between Duels against [[Kalin Kessler]] [[CrowHogan]] against [[Greiger]], [[Jack Atlas]] against [[Carly Carmine]] and GreigerYusei, Jack and Crow against [[Rex Goodwin]].

The 5 However, in the last Shadow Turbo duels Duel that have occurred have been between Yusei against , Jack and Crow versus [[Rex Goodwin]], Goodwin remained at the top of altar of the [[KalinStairway to the Dragon Star]], twicewhile Yusei, Jack and Crow drove their Duel Runners on the track formed by Goodwin's Condor geoglyph. This is the only Turbo Duel so far in which someone is not on a [[CrowDuel Runner]] against or a [[GreigerDuel Board (5D's)|Duel Board]], but as with a Duel Board, as long as someone has a "[[Speed World (anime)|Speed World]]" card they can use a Duel Disk.{{-}}==Yu-Gi-Oh!

Though Nash was victorious, his entire army was decimated due to the amount of monsters that were destroyed.<ref name="zx120>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|120|ref}}</ref>

HoweverSimilar to ''Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's'', there are several other concepts similar to Shadow Duels in the last Shadow Turbo Duel that occurred between Yusei, Jack and Crow versus series. The [[Rex GoodwinBaria Sphere Cube]]damages its occupants when they take damage inside it, Goodwin and this effect is at applied to the top of altar of Earth when it begins to merge with the [[Stairway to the Dragon StarBarian World]], while Yusei, Jack and Crow . The souls of losing Duelists in the latter are on their Duel Runners which are on sent to the track formed by Goodwin's Condor geoglyphBarian World. This Dueling is the only Turbo Duel so far also more intense in which someone is not on a [[Duel RunnerAstral World]] or a , during which [[Duel BoardYuma]]. However as long as someone has a was blown off his feet simply after one of his [[Speed WorldDefense Position]] card they could use a Duel Diskmonsters was destroyed.

==Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL==It is important to note that while the [[File:Zexal_120.pngAugmented Reality Duel|thumb|left|206px|Shadow Game Begin AR Vision]]In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]''technology can apparently cause shockwaves that can harm Duelists, [[Vector]], in his past life, initiated a the damage from the Shadow Duel (which he referred to between Vector and Nash proved far more dangerous as when either player took a "Shadow Game") against [[Reginald Kastle|Shark/Nash]]hit in the Duel, where whenever a the damage to the player's monsters are destroyed also had their respective armies lose some of its warriors. Though Nash was victorious, his entire army was decimated due to the amount of monsters that were destroyedvisibly more brutal.<ref name="zx120>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL|120|ref}}</ref>

Similar to == Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V ==In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D'sARC-V]]'', there are several other concepts similar to is no direct mention of Shadow Duels , but some elements are utilized in the series. The [[Baria Sphere CubeAction Duel]] damages its occupants when they take damage inside itconcept, and this effect is applied to the Earth when it begins to merge with in which the use of [[Barian WorldSolid Vision]]causes monsters to be physically materialized and landscapes changed according to the Action Field selected. The souls of losing Real damage is inflicted through shockwaves, and although harmful, they are not shown to be lethal. Noteworthy is that Duelists in the latter are sent allowed to physically assault the Barian World. Dueling is also more intense in [[Astral World]]opponent, during which [[Yuma]] was blown off his feet simply after one of his [[Defense Position]] monsters was destroyedalthough such practices are rare.

It is important to note that while the Shadow Duels were implied when [[Yuto]] and [[Augmented Reality Duel|AR VisionShay Obsidian]] technology can cause shockwaves that can harm duelists, the inflicted damage from without the Shadow use of an Action Field; this is later implied to be a function of their Duel between Vector Disks and Nash proved far more dangerous as when either player took a hit in is seen commonplace through the duel, the damage to remainder of the player was visibly more brutalseries. Likewise the damage done through influence The most prominent method that strongly correlates with that of Barian power, was capable of damaging duelists to a Shadow Duel are the point Duels initiated by members of losing conciousness and in the case [[Duel Academy (ARC-V)|Duel Academy]] or users of [[Kite TenjoHuman Sealing Technology]], cause his deathwhere the losing player is sealed in a card. <ref name="zx135>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!
