The "Death T" fight between Yugi Muto and Seto Kaiba is redone in the second series, and Miho Nosaka doesn't appear in the Duel Monsters series, unlike in the case with Toei's show. The second series more or less corresponds with the second fight between Yugi and Kaiba, and the Duelist Kingdom and Battle City plots and all of those onward in the manga. The Duel Monsters (a.k.a. Magic and Wizards) card game is a central plot device in this series. Some "filler" material such as the Doma arc and the KC Grand Championship was added in the second series.

The characters did not play by the exact rules of the card game right away in the anime, only firmly playing by the trading card game rules near the start of the Battle City story arc.
