World Championship
During World Championship tournaments, all cards are automatically set to their lowest allowed status in any region. (For example, a card that is on the Semi-Limited list in one region but the Limited list in another will be Limited on the World Championship banlist, and a card that is Forbidden in one region but Unlimited in another will be Forbidden.)
However, in addition to any cards that are Forbidden on either the OCG or TCG lists, several other cards are also made Forbidden:
- Any cards that are not legal in any region, including:
- Any TCG exclusive or OCG exclusive cards
- Any cards that had only been released in the TCG as Shonen Jump or manga promotional cards (for a complete list, see the not legal article)
- Cards that are exclusive to one TCG region but have been released by other methods (such as "Shiba-Warrior Taro" and cards exclusive to McDonald's Promotional Cards 2) are not Forbidden
- From 2015 onward, any cards that have only been released in any region as preview cards (such as preview cards for the next main set included in Special Editions)
- Any cards that are only available as tournament prize cards in any region, due to their extremely restricted availability:
- These include the following four Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series prize cards: "Blood Mefist", "Number 89: Diablosis the Mind Hacker", "Chaos Emperor, the Dragon of Armageddon", and "Duel Link Dragon, the Duel Dragon".
- In 2015 and 2016, the previous year's tournament prize card was Limited instead of Forbidden
- A select few "Special Rule" cards: "Emergency Provisions", "Mystik Wok", "Rainbow Life", "Tri-And-Guess", and "Self-Destruct Button"
- These cards have an undesirable potential to abuse the "sudden death" and time limit rules in official tournaments. The first four cards allow a player in "sudden death" to instantly win by quickly gaining a large number of Life Points during the opponent's turn with a now-irrelevant cost, while the last card allows a player to legally stall by forcing DRAWs until the time limit runs out (see the Tips page of that card for details).
Anime and manga
During the Battle City arc it is mentioned that cards that directly damage the player, such as "Hinotama", "Meteor of Destruction", and "Raigeki", are Forbidden.[1]
When taken to the Virtual World, the Egyptian God cards were excluded from the virtual card database, since Lector noted they are forbidden cards.[2]
A handful of other cards are noted by characters as "Forbidden" in the anime, including "Golden Castle of Stromberg" in Yu-Gi-Oh!,[3] "Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End"[4] and "Infernalvania" in Yu-Gi-Oh! GX,[5] "Gate Blocker" and "Gate Blocker 2" in official Turbo Duels in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's,[6][7] and "Restraining Sword of Impact" in Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V.[8]
