The official Twitter/X account for the Duel Masters Lost ~Gekka no Shinigami~ web anime series announced the launch of a new manga and anime series called Duel Masters Lost ~Bokyaku no Taiyo~. The new Bokyaku no Taiyo manga will launch on Shogakukan’s Weekly CoroCoro Comic website this coming spring, with more details on the two projects to be announced in the future.
Gekka no Shinigami first premiered on the franchise’s “DuelTube” YouTube channel and other platforms on December 21, 2024. It is based on the manga of the same name and recently concluded with its fourth and final episode on February 28, 2025.
Gekka no Shinigami served as the sequel to Duel Masters Lost: Tsuioku no Suisho, which also ran for four episodes. J.C.STAFF was in charge of the animation production for the anime, as it did with previous Duel Masters Lost entries.
The Duel Masters Lost series features two Duel Masters Win characters that include Shotaro Uzawa as Win Kirifuda and Wataru Hatano as Abyssbell = Jashin Emperor (Jashin-kun).
The Duel Masters Lost manga is illustrated by Yo Kanebayashi, with Duel Masters franchise creator Shigenobu Matsumoto credited as original creator. The manga began serialization on Shogakukan’s Weekly CoroCoro Comic website on February 1, 2024. Kanebayashi and Matsumoto also worked on the Gekka no Shinigami sequel manga.
The Duel Masters Lost series also includes the “Abyss Revolution Gaiden: Death Bell Crystal” card pack for the Duel Masters franchise, which went on sale in Japan on February 17, 2024. The latest anime entry, Duel Masters Win: Duel Wars, premiered in Japan in April 2023.
Duel Masters Lost is described as an “alternate time story” set during the same time as the current Duel Masters Win series. It follows 16-year-old Win Kirifuda who has lost everything from his old world and is drawn into a high stakes battle to take back his life.
