'''Attributes''' (Japanese: {{Ruby|属|ぞく}}{{Ruby|性|せい}} ''Zokusei'') are characteristics of [[Monster Card]]s in ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' media and card games. They represent the monster's "elemental" grouping, and are involved in card effects in the card games.
 +
 +
==''Duel Monsters'' (manga)==
 +
{{See also|''Duel Monsters'' (manga)}}
 +
The manga featured seven Attributes; [[LIGHT|Light]], [[DARK|Dark]], [[FIRE|Fire]], [[WATER|Water]], [[WOOD|Wood]], [[EARTH|Earth]], and [[THUNDER|Lightning]]. Unlike other games, Attribute icons are not visible on the cards and only made known through dialogue, card effects, and explanations. This system is used in ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! R]]''. Later series more closely follow the ''[[OCG]]'' rules.
 +
 +
The English manga variously translates the word "Attribute" as "Attribute", "Element" and "category".
 +
 +
A monster can have multiple Attributes, such as "[[Red-Eyes Black Dragon (manga)|Red-Eyes Black Dragon]]", whose Attribute is stated to be Dark,<ref name="d 79">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|79|ref}}</ref> while its attack was said to be Fire-Attribute.<ref name="d 86">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|86|ref}}</ref>
 +
 +
With the exception of Light and Dark, each Attribute benefited from a different [[terrain]]:
 +
* [[Forest (terrain)|Forest]] strengthens the Wood Attribute<ref name="d 66">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|66|ref}}</ref>
 +
* [[Meadow|Grassland]] strengthens the Fire Attribute<ref name="d 66" />
 +
* [[Mountain (terrain)|Mountains]] strengthen the Lightning Attribute<ref name="d 66" />
 +
* [[Wasteland (terrain)|Wasteland]] strengthens the Earth Attribute<ref name="d 66" />
 +
* [[Ocean]] strengthens the Water Attribute<ref name="d 66" />
 +
 +
The effectiveness of an attack con be influenced by the Attribute of the monsters battling. What happens in the case of an effective attack has been inconsistent. Sometimes the monster of the weaker Attribute loses half its ATK.<ref name="d 61">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|61|ref}}</ref> Sometimes the weaker monster loses 300 ATK.<ref name="d 86" /><ref name="d 96">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|96|ref}}</ref>
 +
* The [[THUNDER|Lightning]] Attribute is strong against the Water Attribute.<ref name="d 61" /><ref name="d 96" />
 +
* The [[WATER|Water]] Attribute is strong against the Fire Attribute.<ref name="d 96" />
 +
 +
If monsters of incompatible Attributes are fused, for example a Light and a Dark monster are fused, Attribute repulsion (属性反発) occurs and the Fusion Monster corrodes,<ref name="d 104">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|104|ref}}</ref> causing it to lose [[ATK]] equal to that of the weaker fusion material monster each turn.<ref name="d 105">{{chapter|Yu-Gi-Oh!|105|ref}}</ref>

 +
==Toei-era merchandise==
 +
A number of merchandise released in the era of the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (Toei anime)|Toei anime]] use the same Attributes as the manga. Either all seven (LIGHT, DARK, FIRE, WATER, WOOD, EARTH, THUNDER) or the five elemental ones (FIRE, WATER, WOOD, EARTH, THUNDER).
 +
 +
''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Sticker Retsuden]]'' uses the five-Attribute subset. Each monster sticker features the five Attributes arranged in a circle with the applicable one highlighted.
 +
 +
''[[Top Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Gum]]'' uses the seven Attributes.
 +
 +
''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Bandai Sealdass]]'' uses the seven Attributes. There is no textual representation of the Attributes on the cards. The top two corners feature circles, whose colors represent the monster's Attribute.

==Video games==

The video games with the [[Duel Monsters (Gameboy)|early Gameboy rules]] feature a classification called "[[Alignment|Summon]]" (召喚 ''Shōkan''), alternatively translated as "Alignment" (North American ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Dark Duel Stories|Dark Duel Stories]]'') or "Attribute" (European ''Dark Duel Stories''). It is similar to Attributes and features five of the seven manga Attributes, combined with four of the manga Types, and also includes "Wind" and "Divine".
 +
 +
Many early video games that featured the Attribute system had custom Attribute icons, usually because of screen space constraints.

The Decks used by the various Ignis and/or their partners also tended to be mono-Attribute and match those of their associated partners, with the exception of the [[DARK]] Ignis [[Ai]] and his partner [[Yusaku Fujiki]], who have powerful DARK monsters, but ultimately use multi-Attribute Decks.

Attribute

Attributes (Japanese: ぞくせい Zokusei) are characteristics of Monster Cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! media and card games. They represent the monster's "elemental" grouping, and are involved in card effects in the card games.

Duel Monsters (manga)

The manga featured seven Attributes; Light, Dark, Fire, Water, Wood, Earth, and Lightning. Unlike other games, Attribute icons are not visible on the cards and only made known through dialogue, card effects, and explanations. This system is used in Yu-Gi-Oh! and Yu-Gi-Oh! R. Later series more closely follow the OCG rules.

The English manga variously translates the word "Attribute" as "Attribute", "Element" and "category".

A monster can have multiple Attributes, such as "Red-Eyes Black Dragon", whose Attribute is stated to be Dark,[1] while its attack was said to be Fire-Attribute.[2]

With the exception of Light and Dark, each Attribute benefited from a different terrain:

The effectiveness of an attack con be influenced by the Attribute of the monsters battling. What happens in the case of an effective attack has been inconsistent. Sometimes the monster of the weaker Attribute loses half its ATK.[4] Sometimes the weaker monster loses 300 ATK.[2][5]

  • The Lightning Attribute is strong against the Water Attribute.[4][5]
  • The Water Attribute is strong against the Fire Attribute.[5]

If monsters of incompatible Attributes are fused, for example a Light and a Dark monster are fused, Attribute repulsion (属性反発) occurs and the Fusion Monster corrodes,[6] causing it to lose ATK equal to that of the weaker fusion material monster each turn.[7]

Toei-era merchandise

A number of merchandise released in the era of the Toei anime use the same Attributes as the manga. Either all seven (LIGHT, DARK, FIRE, WATER, WOOD, EARTH, THUNDER) or the five elemental ones (FIRE, WATER, WOOD, EARTH, THUNDER).

Yu-Gi-Oh! Sticker Retsuden uses the five-Attribute subset. Each monster sticker features the five Attributes arranged in a circle with the applicable one highlighted.

Top Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Gum uses the seven Attributes.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Bandai Sealdass uses the seven Attributes. There is no textual representation of the Attributes on the cards. The top two corners feature circles, whose colors represent the monster's Attribute.

OCG/TCG

The Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game and Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game features seven Attributes:

Non-Game Attributes

The LAUGH Attribute is used lightheartedly on the "Charisma Token". It is not considered to exist officially in the game.

Rush Duel

Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel features the same Attributes as the OCG, except for DIVINE.

Rush Duel (anime)

The anime Rush Duel game uses the same Attributes as the real-world Rush Duel.

Several one-off Attributes appear in Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS episode 07272: "Stop the Presses!", in which several characters discover a Duel Card Manufacturer and play around with it by printing cards based on themselves:

Video games

The video games with the early Gameboy rules feature a classification called "Summon" (召喚 Shōkan), alternatively translated as "Alignment" (North American Dark Duel Stories) or "Attribute" (European Dark Duel Stories). It is similar to Attributes and features five of the seven manga Attributes, combined with four of the manga Types, and also includes "Wind" and "Divine".

Many early video games that featured the Attribute system had custom Attribute icons, usually because of screen space constraints.

Trivia

  • Attributes play a large role in the Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS anime; the six Ignis are explicitly stated to have been based on the six Attributes of Duel Monsters, and though the DIVINE Attribute is never directly named, Bohman, who was intended to unite the Ignis within himself, referred to himself as a god. His "Hydradrive" Deck had a heavy focus on anti-Attribute tactics. The Decks used by the various Ignis and/or their partners also tended to be mono-Attribute and match those of their associated partners, with the exception of the DARK Ignis Ai and his partner Yusaku Fujiki, who have powerful DARK monsters, but ultimately use multi-Attribute Decks.
