Intro post / ENG info / JP info Thank you to Tessie for help with Japanese translations!

This blog will generally focus on lesser known Zexal material and scans etc that aren't already readily available (at least for the time being!) Please utilize the following tags to browse: (Tumblr is not letting me edit tags on this blog currently so a lot of these are gonna be relatively useless until I can get that sorted out, please forgive me!) YZA animation material YZA animator art YZA official art (will overlap with things like CD scans) YZA magazine scans YZA pamphlet scans YZA CD scans YZA merch (scans and trivia on more obscure Zexal merch) YZA misc (fun trivia, sculptures etc) YZA mod talks (ask/answers/updates/general non archive related stuff. Feel free to filter this tag) (more to be added as they come)

Feel free to also search by characters! I will tag most posts with at least the featured characters' full Japanese names

Hello! I've found these three cards in my easter eggs, you wanted some high quality scans, this is the best I could do!

Thank you so much, super appreciated!!!

These are the prizes available in the 2026 Walcor Zexal Easter eggs (available in Italy only) and I’m laughing my ass off

Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal Shonen Jump sticker sheet scans + transparent versions of the monsters (granted, not very high quality due to their physical size, but I don't believe better scans to be out there for most of these other than fan-made ones)

Oh yeah, new footage of the lost Zexal Funimation Dub was posted on Johnny Yong Bosch’s social media last week!

It’s only a 40 seconds, but some interesting things to note is that they kept Yuma’s orgiginal Kattobing, catchphrase!

I personally prefer the 4kids version (Reginald my beloved 🦈) but this is still insanely cool. Here’s to the 26 lost episodes get found one day!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal Number Club cards given out as merchandise, based on the "Number Club" in the Zexal manga, ft. Yuma, Astral, Kotori, Shark and Kaito (Last image is the backside - same for all cards)

Additionally, blank Number Club cards were also given out alongside two Number Monster style number sticker sheets to make your own custom cards

Two Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal clear file designs (said artwork also featured on postcards, standees, pins etc)

Jump Festa 2011 Exclusive Deckbox - Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal edition (ft. Yuma and Astral) Illustrated by Naohito Miyoshi

[ygozexalarchive]

Yu-Gi-Oh! 20th anniversary hand fan ft. Kaito Tenjo and Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon. Kaito illustrated by Shuji Maruyama, unclear if the Galaxy-Eyes is as well

The Kaito art is also used as a sprite in Duel Terminal, though appears to be a drawn over version of Maruyama's original illustration

(There is a 20th anniversary hand fan for Yuma as well but I don't have it to scan)

Some Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal CD / Sound Duel scans (the 1st showcased CD also came with an exclusive playmat)

This is a collection of every sheet I've been able to scour from the Internet or purchase and scan in myself for the time being. Huge thanks to Tessie for helping me name and figure out a lot of the sheets! More trivial info under cut

In case it needs to be said, there is no need to credit me if you use any of these sheets for anything - they're not mine! I'm just an animation fanatic doing a little archival! (And a lot of these are scanned by people other than me anyway!)

This collection includes every sheet that features anything notable. A lot of sheets look very similar (for example, shading guides are just base character sheets with added shading) but for archival purposes they're still included, even if they're largely the same. Every reference sheet is named for easy browsing, but if I've made a mistake anywhere, please let me know!

I'll still try and collect more sheets as I keep checking if any go up for sale on sites like Mercari, but I offer no guarantee that I'll have many more scans to offer anytime soon (it is costly!)

From @anthyvarietyhour: "When Nicktoons was airing Yugioh Zexal and other anime (Danball Senki, Digimon, etc), they had a page on their website where they wrote character bios, had games, and chatrooms. These pages are obviously gone, and from captures I could find on the Internet Archive, the games and chatrooms don't appear to be functional anymore.

However, what IS available are the character bios! I'm unsure if there are any for Zexal II, these are just what I found while looking.

Something funny to note is that Nicktoons must have really liked Zexal/really wanted to market it, because this has more profiles than any of the other series. Lines up with how often I remember seeing ads for it."

Thank you very much for the submission and trivia!

[ygozexalarchive]

are you taking submissions for content posted here? Just wanna know, I wanted to send in smth

Yes absolutely! There's things I don't post like more easily available merch ads and the like (it's hard to generalize), but there's no harm in submitting stuff and it's very much appreciated regardless!

Near life-size No. 39 Hope (Utopia) statue which was displayed in the 2012 Jump Fiesta, the 2012 Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship in Japan and the 2013 Toyfair in America. It was built to be lightweight and capable of disassembly so it was not only easy to transport but could also be changed into a second pose (Which, I have to assume, just meant rotating the arms as seen in the available photos)

Some Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival artwork. All the sprites and artwork available in the game have been kindly compiled by Modata on Sprites Resource

A few fun facts from looking at the sprites: III's hair is miscolored but was fixed when the game was localized into English. They did NOT fix his hair in his character scene artwork though. Also they used Yusei as a dummy sprite
