Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions (遊☆戯☆王 THE DARK SIDE OF DIMENSIONS, Yū☆Gi☆Ō Za Dākusaido Obu Dimenshonzu) is a 2016 Japanese animated supernatural science fiction drama film, part of the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise. The film is an original story and features Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba as its main characters. The film is set six months after the events of the original Yu-Gi-Oh! manga version of the story, meaning that it features significant contradictions to the anime continuity. In the dub, this film takes place one year after the anime. The movie introduces a new game mechanic called "Dimension Summon", which bypasses the need for Tributes in Summoning a Higher Level monster, but with the trade-off of receiving its attack or defense value as damage if it is destroyed. In celebration of the film and twenty years of the franchise in general, TV Tokyo began airing a remastered digital edition of the 2000–2004 Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters anime in Japan. The film was released in Japan on April 23, 2016, in the U.S and Canada on January 27, 2017, and in Australia on February 2, 2017. This was the fourth theatrical release of a Yu-Gi-Oh! film after Yu-Gi-Oh! (1999), Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light, and Yu-Gi-Oh!: Bonds Beyond Time.
