Darkness (ダークネス Dākunesu) is a series of DARK Attribute monsters used by Otes in the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime and Yuamu Ohdo, Yudias Velgear, Mitsuko Hiramori, Asaka Mutsuba, Yuna Goha (and her manga counterpart) and Yuhi Ohdo in the Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! anime and manga. Its SEVENS members are closely related to the Sevens Road series, with several cards also depicting "Sevens Road Magician" in their artworks.

Design
Otes's Darkness monsters
Otes's Darkness monsters are Spellcaster Type monsters that wear faceless masks. Their designs possess an eye motif that reflects their respective Levels (e.g. "Darkness Zerorogue" has 7 eyes throughout its armor, excluding its own eyes).
| Level | Darkness |
|---|---|
| 2 | Rogue |
| 3 | Sanga |
| 4 | Fource Seeker |
| 7 | Zerorogue |
| 9 | Magician of Dark Sevens |
Kuaidul Velgear's Darkness monsters
Kuaidul Velgear's Darkness monsters are monsters of varying Types planted by him in other characters' Decks, their designs being tailored for them. Excluding "Darkness Transamu Craisis", they are meant to be used as Fusion Material. "Jointech Nesstrydar Tank" doesn't directly have "Darkness" in its name, but instead is an anagram for "Darkness Jointech Tyrant", so it is considered part of the series.
Playing style
The Spellcaster Type members of the Darkness series become stronger by having as many DARK Attribute Spellcaster Type monsters in the Graveyard as possible, to Special Summon "Darkness Zerorogue" and destroy all monsters on the opponent's field with its effect, as well as empower the boss monster "Magician of Dark Sevens". "Darkness Fource Seeker", and "Release Wrath" from outside the theme, can help to quickly send monsters to the Graveyard, while "Darkness Rogue" can Special Summon "Zerorogue" from the hand. Although "Sevens Road Magician" is included as Fusion Material for "Magician of Dark Sevens", a Darkness Deck typically avoids playing Attributes other than DARK, but it can still benefit from other Sevens Road-related cards since all Sevens Road monsters are DARK Attribute Spellcaster Type. "Sevens Road Witch" and "Sevens Road Sorcerer" can Special Summon "Zerorogue" to use its effect, and "Master of the Sevens Road" is another boss monster that benefits from having many DARK Attribute Spellcaster Type monsters in the Graveyard.
As a Spellcaster Type theme, it can also use various other Spellcaster Type support cards, most notably the Trap Card "Dark Revelation", but also "Magical Stream" and "Road Magic - Dark Twilight". The Legend Card "Dark Magician" is also a DARK Attribute Spellcaster Type, so it and its support cards can work with the other DARK Attribute Spellcaster Type support included; "Monster Reborn" is a costless way to Special Summon "Zerorogue" to use its effect while also helping Fusion Summon "Dark Sevens" more easily.
