Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's (遊☆戯☆王5D's（ファイブディーズ）Yūgiō Faibu Dīzu) is a Japanese anime series, a continuation of the Yu-Gi-Oh! series, created by Naoyuki Kageyama and Kazuki Takahashi, produced by Studio Gallop. The series began airing in the United States on The CW4Kids block from September 13, 2008 to September 10, 2011, though several episodes were left unaired.

Synopsis Yu☆Gi☆Oh! 5D's, set in the not too distant future, is the sequel to Yu☆Gi☆Oh!: Duel Monsters GX. Following on from its predecessors, the show is centered on the Duel Monsters Card Game. Neo Domino City, a newer, evolved city is the largest in the world, watched over by its Director, Rex Godwin. Satellite, the renamed old Domino City, is now the city's main waste disposal area and the inhabitants who live there, Satellites, live in poor conditions and are forbidden from Duelling. Yusei Fudo, the shows main protagonist, has built a D-Wheel (used for the new form of duelling, Riding Duels) in the hope that he can escape to Neo Domino City. Spurred on by revenge towards Jack Atlus, the King of Riding Duels, he manages to escape and duel Jack for his precious card, Stardust Dragon. However when it is summoned along with Jack's ace monster, Red Demons Dragon, a wondrous Crimson Dragon appears, along with a mysterious Birthmark on Yusei's arm. From here on, Yusei and his friends are thrown into a world of Darkness, from which they must duel their way out and attempt to save the world from the destructive forces that soon appear.

Notes

• 4Kids left several episodes of the series undubbed, also skipping various episodes, namely Episodes 111-122, and 130 before abandoning the dub due to low ratings, pressure to air Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal, and an ongoing lawsuit from TV Tokyo and NAS.
• Carrie Keranen and Cassandra Lee Morris was replaced by Eileen Stevens as Luna, Leo and Mina Simington due to both of them moving to Los Angeles.
• Tom Wayland replaced Christopher C. Adams as Crow Hogan. However, in Duel Links, Adams reprised his role by replacing him due to sexual allegations since 2015.
• Rex Goodwin's role was previously misattributed to both Maddie Blaustein and Oliver Wyman (as a replacement following the latters death) despite there being no noticeable difference in the voice. Wyman would later erroneously claim that this was accurate but that he only served as a replacement briefly before being replaced himself. Rex Goodwin's voice actor was later credited to Murray Thom in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links.
  • Vizor and Aporia's roles were also misattributed to Jason Griffith.
