'''Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS'''<ref name="title">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/sohowisthisnotstandingout/ | title = <nowiki>The Organization | [Weekly Jump] Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS Revealed! </nowiki> | publisher = YGOrganization | date = February 16, 2017 | accessdate = February 16, 2017}}</ref> is the sixth ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' anime series and the fifth main spin-off series, which began airing in Japan on May 10, 2017. It airs in Japan every Wednesday at 6:25 pm Japanese Standard Time instead of the usual Sundays as with the previous series does. This series airs alongside reruns of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL]]'' as part of BS Japan's ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Hour'' block.
As of June 1st, 2017, Crunchyroll began airing the show with legal subtitles. Future episodes will be simulcast.
However, there is one Duelist who stands against the threat to "LINK VRAINS". His name is "Playmaker". He has become famous in the Network World for crushing the "Knights of Hanoi" in fierce Duels, without mentioning his name. But the true identity of "Playmaker" is ordinary high school student "Yusaku Fujiki", who pursues the "Knights of Hanoi" that appear in VRAINS in order to find out the truth of an incident that happened in his past.
The show's theme is "Take a step forward, and try!", on the premise that kids should start to try things out instead of just giving up at the first try due to being overwhelmed by information.<ref name="jumpfesta">{{cite web|url=https://ygorganization.com/jump-festa-2017-latest-information-stage/|title =<nowiki>The Organization|[Jump Festa 2017] Latest Information Stage: 6th Yu-Gi-Oh!
