"Silent Swordsman" (サイレント・ソードマン Sairento Sōdoman in the OCG and manga, also written as 沈黙の剣士Sairento no Sōdoman in the Japanese anime) is an archetype of LIGHTWarrior "LV" monsters used by Yugi Muto. Each member features an effect that revolves around being unaffected by Spell Cards, referencing the Silent status effect in role-playing games, which prevent the opponent from using magic in battle. In the Yu-Gi-Oh! manga and anime, they are a series of Warrior monsters that depict the "evolved" form of "Silent Swordsman LV0", which gains 1 LV and 500 ATK each turn.
