Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions (Japanese: 遊☆戯☆王 THE DARK SIDE OF DIMENSIONS, Hepburn: Yū☆Gi☆Ō Za Dāku Saido Obu Dimenshonzu) is a 2016 Japanese animated science fantasy film written and directed by Satoshi Kuwabara, with Kazuki Takahashi and Masahiro Hikokubo as co-writers based on the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise by Takahashi. Produced by Studio Gallop and distributed by Toei Company, The Dark Side of Dimensions tells a new story that takes place after the events of the original Yu-Gi-Oh storyline; specifically, it is set six months after the end of the original manga (and one year after the end of the anime adaptation in the English dub), and thus features some slight contradictions to the storyline, specifically of the anime adaptation.[a][2][3] The film stars Shunsuke Kazama as the voice of Yugi Mutou and Kenjiro Tsuda as Seto Kaiba, alongside Hiroki Takahashi, Takayuki Kondo, Maki Satō, Rica Matsumoto, Junko Takeuchi, Kento Hayashi, Kana Hanazawa and Satoshi Hino. The Dark Side of Dimensions was released in Japan on April 23, 2016, in the U.S and Canada on January 27, 2017,[4] and in Australia on February 2, 2017.[5]
