Yu-Gi-Oh!: Bonds Beyond Time (Japanese: 劇場版 遊☆戯☆王 〜超融合!時空を越えた絆〜 Hepburn: Gekijōban Yū-Gi-Ō!: Chō-Yūgō! Toki o Koeta Kizuna?, lit. Yu-Gi-Oh! the Movie: Super Fusion! Bonds That Transcended Time) is a Japanese 3-D animated film based on the Yu-Gi-Oh! series. It was produced to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the NAS-produced series, Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, and features the main characters from three of the franchise's anime series and links to the story of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.
It was released in Japanese theaters on January 23, 2010. An English-language version of the film containing ten minutes of additional animation has been produced by 4Kids Entertainment. The digital cinema developer and distributor Cinedigm screened the film in selected stereoscopic 3D theaters in the United States. In the United Kingdom, Manga Entertainment released the film in selected stereoscopic 3D cinemas, and followed this with a Blu-ray 3D and DVD release. The film was also released in the United States on Blu-ray and DVD.
The film earned over US$2 million in Japanese theaters, and also sold well on DVD, both in Japan and the United Kingdom. Film critics, however, criticized it for its limited scope of audience; they said it was marketed to children or fans of the series.
As Yusei Fudo ponders the state of New Domino City, Jack Atlas and Crow Hogan cheer him up with the idea of riding on their Duel Runners. As they ride, a mysterious Turbo Duelist called Paradox challenges Yusei to a duel. Yusei summons his Stardust Dragon but Paradox seals it inside a card and disappears with it. They later discover an article that shows a mysterious battle in the past of Venice, Italy that Aki knows did not happen in history before. Compounding the situation, New Domino City is vanishing. As a result, the Crimson Dragon appears, giving Yusei's Duel Runner the ability to travel through time.
