The third season of the anime series "Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters", created by Kazuki Takahashi, was originally broadcast from March 12, 2002, to February 11, 2003. The English adaptation, broadcast on Kids' WB, aired from November 1, 2003 to September 4, 2004. The DVD for the season, "Yu-Gi-Oh: The Complete Third Season", was released in Region 1 in 2008. It was re-released in 2014, following the Cinedigm and 4K Media Inc merger, with a two-part digital release in Region 1.
The third season of "Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters" (also renamed as "Yu-Gi-Oh! Enter the Shadow Realm" in the English-dubbed adaptation) was formerly licensed by 4Kids Entertainment in North America and other English-speaking countries, and was also distributed by Funimation through North American home video distribution rights and also distributed by Warner Bros. Television Animation on North American television rights, when it aired on Kids’ WB! and Cartoon Network, also in North America. It is now licensed and distributed by 4K Media.
It was the final season to have a Singaporean English dub by Odex.
The season picks up where season two left off, with the characters taking an unexpected detour to Noah's home base. There, Yugi and the others are transported to a digital universe, created and controlled by Noah, where they are forced to duel the Big Five in order to escape with their mind in their own bodies. The second half of the season focuses on the resumption of the Battle City tournament finals, where the final four duelists, Yugi, Joey (Katsuya), Kaiba, and Marik (Malik), fight for the championship title as well as the end of the Shadow Games.
The opening theme is "Wild Drive" by Masato Nagai, and ending theme is "Rakuen" by CAVE.
