{{Main|Duel Masters Trading Card Game}}
The [[Duel Masters Trading Card Game|card game]] first originated in [[Japan]] in May 2002 and was marketed by [[Takara]] (later [[Takara Tomy]] following the merger). It was produced in English by [[Wizards of the Coast]], who purchased the rights to the name ''Duel Masters'' from [http://www.reality.com Reality Simulations, Inc.], which ran a play-by-mail gladiator game called ''Duelmasters'', now known as ''[[Duel2]]''. The English-language printing of the TCG ran from DM-01 Base Set (May 5, 2004) until DM-12 Thrash of the Hybrid Megacreatures (November 2006). It was the twelfth and final expansion released by Wizards of the Coast for the English-language game before it was discontinued in 2006.

The spin-off product, ''[[Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters|Kaijudo]]'', was announced by Wizards of the Coast in February 2012.<ref>{{Cite web|date=February 10, 2012|title=Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro Announce Kaijudo™|url=https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/wizards-of-the-coast-and-hasbro-announce-kaijudo-139055799.html|url-status=live|website=Cision PR Newswire|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120220004449/http://www.prnewswire.com:80/news-releases/wizards-of-the-coast-and-hasbro-announce-kaijudo-139055799.html |archive-date=2012-02-20 }}</ref> A relaunch of the TCG product line with Wizards of the Coast working along with its parent company [[Hasbro]].

While none of manga series have been licensed in English, there was a [[North American]]-created comic book by [[Dreamwave Productions]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2003-12-16 |title=Dreamwave Productions |url=http://www.dreamwaveprod.ca/!newsite/pages/news/20030813duelmasters.htm |access-date=2024-10-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031216130639/http://www.dreamwaveprod.ca/!newsite/pages/news/20030813duelmasters.htm |archive-date=2003-12-16 }}</ref>

====English version====
The English-language version of the series was produced by [[Allspark Studios|Hasbro Entertainment]] and Plastic Cow Productions. It made a truncated four-episode preview premiere on [[Cartoon Network]]'s [[Toonami]] block on February 27, 2004. The series then made its official premiere on March 13, 2004, as part of the Saturday Video Entertainment System block, with fewer edits.{{Citation needed|date=September 2019}} When Toonami was moved to Saturdays, the block premiered the rest of the series. It was also aired in a 6:00 AM timeslot on early Weekday mornings, as part of Cartoon Network's  ''Early Prime'' block, which was aimed at kids who were getting ready to go to school during this time on October 4 to December 31, 2004 and it returns once again on June 20 to December 30, 2005. {{Citation needed|date=September 2019}}

A second batch of 26 episodes was produced by Hasbro Studios and Elastic Media Corporation and premiered on Cartoon Network on March 26, 2005. Despite being aired some months later, these episodes were considered part of the first season<ref>{{Cite web |date=2006-01-12 |title=Toon Zone - Shows - Current Schedule |url=http://www.toonzone.net/schedule/index.php?seriesID=58&showAll=true |access-date=2024-10-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060112111925/http://www.toonzone.net/schedule/index.php?seriesID=58&showAll=true |archive-date=2006-01-12 }}</ref> and featured an original storyline not adapted from the manga. While the original animation studio and staff remained the same as the first season, these episodes were never broadcast or acknowledged in Japan.

''Duel Masters 2.0''<ref>{{Cite web |date=2007-11-02 |title=Toon Zone - Shows - Toonami - Duel Masters 2.0 |url=http://www.toonzone.net/schedule/displaySeries.php?seriesID=180&networkID=13 |access-date=2024-10-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071102161804/http://www.toonzone.net/schedule/displaySeries.php?seriesID=180&networkID=13 |archive-date=2007-11-02 }}</ref> was later produced by Hasbro and Howling Cat Studios. It was adapted from the first half of ''Duel Masters Charge'', compressing 26 episodes into 13. The final three episodes were scheduled but never aired.

Episodes of the English version are currently available for streaming on [[The Roku Channel]], [[Tubi |Tubi TV]]<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tubitv.com/series/7/duel_masters?tracked=1|title=Duel Masters|access-date=2019-09-17|archive-date=2020-08-04|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200804144055/https://tubitv.com/series/7/duel_masters?tracked=1|url-status=live}}</ref> and Amazon Prime.
