A '''scripted duel''' has been an annual tradition at public [[Tournament]]s since 2011. It is a non-canon [[duel]] in which [[4Kids Entertainment]] English dub voice actors are invited to reprise their roles in a theatre-like fashion at a public [[Tournament]]. As the voice actors read their parts through the duel, a live video feed of a [[Playing Field]] managed by two [[duelist]]s shows the current state of the duel. These duelists may sometimes have special roles to act out certain card effects: Pegasus hid a [[monster]] underneath the "[[Toon World]]" card before summoning a [[Toon]] counterpart and places Toon monsters underneath "Toon World" when a monster would be protected by its own effect; Yugi placed a [[deck]] full of "[[Kuriboh]]" on the field when activating "[[Multiply]]"; Pegasus performed a winding action with his hand when activating [[Wind-Up]] effects; Yugi took out four copies of "[[Magical Hats]]" when using its effect; and in the most recent scripted duel. More recently, certain music is played for dramatic effect during certain turning points, such as when Yugi's transition transitions into Yami Yugi and when he , calls upon the [[Heart of the Cards]], or plays "[[The Eye of Timaeus]]".

The duel is conducted under the rules set in the anime, with each duelist starting with 4000 [[Life Points]] and using card effects as shown in the anime. In rare scenarios, a played card is to ignore its anime effect and adhere to its TCG/OCG effect.
