'''Xyz Materials''' (pronounced ik-seez<ref name="SD11">{{citeweb|url=http://www.yugioh-card.com/en/products/starter2011.html|title=Starter Deck: Dawn of the Xyz|publisher=[[Konami]]}}</ref>; Japanese: {{Ruby|Ｘ|エクシーズ}}{{Ruby|素|そ}}{{Ruby|材|ざい}} ''Ekushīzu Sozai'', エクシーズ{{Ruby|素|そ}}{{Ruby|材|ざい}} in [[card text]] before ''[[Duelist Alliance]]'') are cards stacked underneath an [[Xyz Monster]]. Also known as '''Overlay Units''' (オーバーレイ・ユニット, ''Ōbārei Yunitto'') in the anime and manga and abbreviated as '''ORU''' in both, and thus, is also used in real game.
When an [[Xyz Monster]] is [[Xyz Summon]]ed, the [[Monster Card|monsters]] used for the Xyz Summon are stacked underneath the Summoned Xyz Monster (called "Overlay" in the anime). The attached Xyz Materials do not occupy a [[Zone]].
