| − | Proper Asian-English sets were preceded by | + | Proper Asian-English sets were preceded by two lottery prizes ("[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]" from an [[e Jump lottery prize card|''e Jump'' lottery]] and "[[Dark Magician]]" from the [["Dark Magician" Giveaway for 1000 People!]]) that were printed in 2001 with direct translations of their Japanese names and flavor texts instead of the ''TCG'' ones, in the same font as Japanese. The cards that came after them are almost identical to ''TCG'' English ones, besides the aforementioned differences and being printed on the same card stock as [[Japanese]] cards, making them stiffer. |
Aside from those two early cards, Asian-English prints prior to the 2023 resumption were mostly [[Core Booster]]s, with identical contents to their North American English releases. All Core Boosters up to ''[[Enemy of Justice]]'', plus ''[[Crimson Crisis]]'' and ''[[Raging Battle]]''; the [[Starter Deck]]s ''[[Starter Deck: Yugi|Yugi]]'' and ''[[Starter Deck: Kaiba|Kaiba]]''; and the [[Structure Deck]] ''[[Structure Deck: Lord of the Magician|Lord of the Magician]]'' had Asian-English prints. The [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters International: Worldwide Edition promotional cards|''Duel Monsters International: Worldwide Edition'' promotional cards]] were only released in Asian-English, and the Japanese World Championship Qualifier participation cards and World Championship prize cards have normally included an Asian-English card. | Aside from those two early cards, Asian-English prints prior to the 2023 resumption were mostly [[Core Booster]]s, with identical contents to their North American English releases.
