A Type (
There are 25 different Types in the TCG and OCG. Two of these types are highly exclusive: the Divine-Beast-Type is shared only by the Egyptian Gods, and was originally considered illegal until their tournament-legal versions were released; and the Creator God-Type is exclusive to "Holactie the Creator of Light". A 26th Type, Immortal, only appears in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses. There are 29 different Types in Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel; the Divine-Beast and Creator God-Types have not appeared, while six new Types (Cyborg, High Dragon, Magical Knight, Celestial Warrior, Omega Psychic, and Galaxy) have appeared in the real-life card game.
"Type" is different from "type" (with a lowercase "t"), which refers to the three main types of cards: Monster, Spell, and Trap.
From "Starter Deck: Link Strike" onward, the word "-Type" was removed from card texts. However, its OCG counterpart retains the word
Contents

Rush Duel[edit]
Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel has featured all Types from the OCG/TCG except for Divine-Beast and Creator God. Rush Duel also features a new Type, Galaxy (ギャラクシー), introduced in Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! by Yudias Velgear. Additionally, Fusion Monsters in Rush Duel introduce several new Types that are thematically fusions of other Types in the OCG/TCG:
- Celestial Warrior (
天 界 戦 士 ): a Fusion of a Warrior and a Fairy Type. - Cyborg (サイボーグ): a Fusion of a Machine and another Type.
- High Dragon (ハイドラゴン): a Fusion of two Dragon Types.
- Magical Knight (
魔 導 騎 士 ): a Fusion of a Spellcaster and another Type, typically a Warrior Type. - Omega Psychic (オメガサイキック): a Fusion of two Psychic Types.
The Magical Knight Type first appeared in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel 37: "To the Death!!", when Dark Yugi summoned "Gaia the Fierce Knight" and Seto Kaiba commented that it was "the strongest card in the Magical Knight Type". For the English release of the manga, Viz Media translated it as Warrior instead, and when "Gaia" was printed in the OCG, its Type was changed to Warrior.
?[edit]
? is used for some Monster Tokens in some mediums to indicate the Token's Type is variable.
???[edit]
??? is used to indicate that a monster's Type is unknown; in the OCG/TCG it is only used for newly-announced monsters whose Type has not yet been revealed.
Other[edit]
Charisma (カリスマ) is a Type used only as a joke, and only used for "Charisma Token".
Several one-off Types have appeared in the anime:
- Human (人間) appeared only in a character's fantasy in the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's anime, on the card "King of All"
- Business appeared only on the card "The★Luke Division Manager" in the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime
- Newspaper appeared only on the cards "Assault & Infringement Reporter Masaru" and "Glasses Girl Nico" in the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime
- Swindler appeared only on the card "Genius Archaeologist Boy Hunt" in the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime
- Son appeared only on the card "Post-Apocalyptic Combat King Yosh" in the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime
- Swirly appeared only on the card "Adorable Newbie Swirly" in the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime
Immortal is a Type appearing in the video game Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses.
The Duelists of the Roses also lists Power Up,
Ritual,
Spell and
Trap as a Type.
Yokai (
Yu-Gi-Oh! Carddass adds the Types Black Magic, White Magic, Sea Beast, Illusion Magic, and Dragon Magic.
Type line[edit]
On cards, the Type line is the first line in the lore/effect box, printed above the card text. This line lists the monster's Type, any Abilities, and any other monster types such as Tuner, Pendulum, or Effect.

English[edit]
All TCG cards follow the English layout for the Type line. Since the introduction of "Starter Deck: Link Strike", Normal Monsters now have "monster Type/Normal" added to differentiate them from Effect Monsters.
