Category Details

In the OCG category, an 8-person Swiss-draw tournament (3 rounds, 1 duel per match, 20 minutes) will be held. The participation prize is 1 pack of 「PROMOTION PACK 2026」, and the winner prize is a special duel field (randomly chosen from 2 types). Matches against instructors will award 1 tournament pack each for participation and winning. Matches using the point-based construction rule 'GENESYS' are also prepared. Achieving 3 consecutive wins awards 1 pack of 「GENESYS 2026 vol.1」, limited to 1 pack per person. The Rush Duel category operates the same format of 8-person Swiss-draw tournaments and instructor matches. Merchandise sales and early-release products will be announced at a later date.

Admission Requirements and Korean Visitors

Admission requires a Konami Card Game ID linked with Yu-Gi-Oh! Neuron and a photo identification document. Recognized IDs in the announcement include a driver's license, passport, My Number card, and student ID. Health insurance cards without a photo cannot be used starting from fiscal year 2026. Visitors who are not residents of Japan can verify their identity using a passport. However, since the application itself assumes a Japanese OCG Neuron account, whether overseas users can apply was not separately addressed in the announcement. Baggage inspections will be conducted at the venue, and suitcases and alcoholic beverages are prohibited. Prize distribution ends completely at 18:00.
