List of episodes

The third season of the anime series Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, created by Kazuki Takahashi, was originally broadcast from March 12, 2002, to February 11, 2003. The English adaptation, broadcast on Kids' WB, aired from November 1, 2003 to September 4, 2004.

The first half of the season follows an original story arc, where Yugi and his friends are transported to a digital universe, created and controlled by Noah, Seto Kaiba's adoptive brother. They are forced to duel the Big Five, KaibaCorp's former board of directors, in order to escape with their minds in their own bodies. The second half of the season focuses on the resumption of the Battle City tournament finals, where the final four duelists, Yugi, Joey (Jonouchi), Kaiba, and Marik, fight for the championship title.

The third season of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (also renamed as Yu-Gi-Oh! Enter the Shadow Realm in the English-dubbed adaptation) was formerly licensed by 4Kids Entertainment in North America and other English-speaking countries, and was also distributed by Funimation through North American home video distribution rights and also distributed by Warner Bros. Television Animation on North American television rights, when it aired on Kids’ WB! and Cartoon Network, also in North America. It is now licensed and distributed by 4K Media.
