The Sky Striker Story Will Commence Publication in April

Back in December 2024, the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise announced the release of a brand-new anime that would help expand the lore of several of the most popular card game archetypes. The series, titled Yu-Gi-Oh! Card Game The Chronicles, promises to be one of the best anime series Konami has produced, as both TCG and anime fans will enjoy it. The first short trailer for this project has finally been released, revealing a few moments of what will be the story of the Sky Striker strategy. The video depicts Raye, the main character and most important monster of the deck, preparing to enter the battlefield.

Her amazing voice actress, Anna Nagase (Suicide Squad Isekai), makes her debut by activating the equipment of the soldier with the command engage, a reference to one of the most powerful cards in the strategy. Her main opponent, Rose, will be voiced by the talented Nene Hieda (Ganbare Douki-chan). According to the X (formerly Twitter) user @MasterDuelSite, who shared the promotional video on social media, the story of the Sky Striker deck will begin in April 2025. The second storyline, revolving around the Albaz lore, will commence in June, with a new episode being released every month.

For many years, the Sky Striker deck has been a widely successful and beloved strategy, still being played to this day. The cards that compose this strategy tell the story of two countries at war, using child soldiers known as Sky Striker Aces, enhanced by pieces of technology to help their nations win the conflict. It is an exciting but tragic tale of two girls, Raye and Rose, being forced to fight to the death in a war neither decided to join. Nonetheless, the full story will be revealed for the first time in April.

Yu-Gi-Oh! fans can expect to see epic fights, military gear that will defy their imagination, and a social critique of the horrors of war. Raye's story will have several twists and turns, with a finale that will shock viewers. Later in the year, the Albaz lore will bring them to a fantastical world, one where several species fight for dominance. The new anime has the potential to be one of the best series the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise has ever released, and viewers are beyond excited about its release.
