Duel Warrior

Duel Warrior is one of the important terms in Duel Masters 2017 of the Duel Masters Anime and Manga series.

Summary
Duel Warrior are creature spirits who wandered off to the human world. At the time of the new generation, the balance of the creature world was starting to collapse. This results in creature spirits arriving to the human world in order to escape their circumstances in the creature world and live a free life. However, they sometimes caused troubles. So far, all of them are of the Specials race.

Duel Masters can stop them by Initiating a "True Duel" with them. Unlike a regular Duel, shield breaks in True Duels casue physical damage to the duelists and the loser of the duel might die.

Initially Decky intends to kill all duel warriors encountered and forces Joe Kirifuda to do so, but the direct attack against them can be stopped (And thus preventing the Duel Warrior to be killed) and the duel warrior can be sent back to the creature world instead.

In the anime, only Joe Kirifuda and Boltz deals with Duel Warriors. However, In the manga it is shown that Kira also deals with duel warriors, deeming them to be "evil" and usurping balance, and thus eradicates them despite their pleas. One such duel warrior was Octoba, Sublime Knowledge, who was quickly defeated when Kira used Ov Sidia.
