Duel Masters (2017): Episode Listing

Duel Masters (2017) is the 13th season of the Duel Masters Anime.

It marks the 15th anniversary of the Duel Masters franchise and serves as a refresher point. The cards in the trading card game have a new card frame and the anime and manga series have names taken from the franchise's original launch name.

There will also be new cards introduced that do not belong to any other civilization, called the Jokers.

Setting
It marks the beginning of a journey for a new generation duelist, Joe Kirifuda.

The setting and events of the story takes place 14 years after Katta Kirifuda and Team Hamukatsu's victory against Dormageddon X, Forbidden Armageddon, securing the future of the human and creature world. It also takes place 2 years after Katta's departure to the creature world together with Katsudon.

In Joe's dueling era, a special system in the Duel Masters Club building was used to produce holographic images of the creatures and spell effects, creating a virtual reality in duels. A special mobile duel table was used to display the battle through a central digital screen. It was a stark contrast of Shobu and Katta's dueling era, in which the duel field was shown through a tablet after a duel table scan or creatures materializing themselves in certain duels. At the same time, the balance in the creature world is starting to crumble and the title of Duel Master, a master duelist who can maintain the balance was used again. Following the new timeline in the block, dragons no longer exists in this era of dueling. However, in this seemingly peaceful era, a new danger relating to the Duel Master was lurking within the shadows
