A '''One Turn Kill''' (OTK) (Japanese: {{Ruby|ＯＴＫ|ワンターンキル}} ''Wantān Kiru'') is achieved when a player wins a [[Duel]] in the space of a single [[turn]], as soon as said player has the appropriate cards in their [[hand]]/[[Graveyard]] and has [[control]] over the duel.

In one turn, all of the opponent's [[Life PointsLP]], which is normally assumed to be no more less than 8000, must be depleted, or an alternate [[victory condition]] must be fulfilled. This is usually done when the player has the appropriate cards in their [[hand]]/[[Graveyard]] and has [[control]] over the duel.

[[Traditional Format|Traditional]] and [[Advanced Format]]s will have very different OTK styles, owing to the allowable [[Card Poolcard pool]]s. The Advanced Format banlist is updated every six months to reduce the viability of OTKs.

A One Turn Kill that is pulled off during the player's first turn is referred to as a [[First Turn Kill]]. == OTKs in media ==OTKs are rare in Yu-Gi-Oh! media, especially prior to Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, but are not non-existent. In many cases, an OTK in the anime is shown either to show off the strength of a powerful Duelist, or for the winner to have a come-from-behind victory. Since duelists Duelists usually start with 4000 Life Points in the anime, an OTK is declared when all 4000 are depleted in one turn. Some duelists Duelists have OTKed their opponents in the anime, such as including: === ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!
