Different Dimension (D.D.) is a name given to a series of cards all starting with either 'D.D.' or 'Different Dimension'. These cards focus on removing cards from play, often on their demise, thus sending them to a 'Different Dimension' rather then simply destroying the other monster. They can use those monsters to get more powerful or gain special effects. Although they were released in different sets, a large amount of 'Different Dimension' monsters were released in Structure Deck: The Dark Emperor. Nelson Andrews used some D.D. cards in the ZEXAL anime.

D.D. cards are great for cards that revolve around removed from play cards, such as "Golden Homunculus", "Gren Maju Da Eiza", the "Helios" cards, "Graverobber's Retribution", "Caius the Shadow Monarch", etc.

There are also cards that help removing at the same time that represent a defense for you as "D.D. Trap Hole", "D.D. Survivor", "D.D. Scout Plane", etc.

These cards are not without their weakness however. "Imperial Iron Wall" will effectively shut down all D.D. cards (with the exception of a small few like "Different Dimension Dragon".) None are particularly powerful, with their strongest OCG/TCG monster, "D.D. Survivor", having only 1800 ATK Points; the strongest monster overall is "ESPer Star Sparrow" with 3000 ATK, although it is currently exclusive to the anime. It is hard to create a deck filled with nothing but D.D. cards, so in decks these are normally used as a sub-type (mostly in Banish Decks).

However, it is possible to have a sound D.D primary deck, for cards such as "Golden Homunculus", "Gren Maju Da Eiza", and the "Helios", gain attack and defense points multiplied by a certain number to your/both your and your opponent's Banish cards. In a "D.D" deck that focuses only on Banish cards, these monsters can become a massive threat to your opponent, continually gaining in power. Also, "Imperial Iron Wall" can be remedied by running spell/trap cards that destroy other spell and trap card, such as "Mystical Space Typhoon", "Dust Tornado", etc. Not only that, but the "Monarchs" help greatly by destroying your opponent's cards and, if the proper card is present; ie, "Dimensional Fissure", and "Macro Cosmos", also Banish them, and possibly damaging your opponent in the process with cards such as, "Thestalos the Firestorm Monarch", "Caius the Shadow Monarch", and the worth mentioning (however not a monarch, "Super Conductor Tyranno", with which you can keep recycling "D.D. Survivor" and/or "D.D. Scout Plane" to damage your opponent each turn. (Nevertheless, pure D.D cards are weak and should be used as back up to the previously mentioned non-D.D cards.)

Trivia

  • Xyz monsters are said to come from another dimension, however, currently there are no D.D. Xyz monsters.
  • Newer Psychic type monsters now also focus on Removing from play.
  • The term "Remove from play" was replaced with "Banished", which, in fact would explain how many monsters were sent into the Different Dimension and turned into D.D. monsters.
