A ceiling on Yu-Gi-Oh!’s Western revenue in its publisher’s year to March 2026

What this is

A ceiling on Yu-Gi-Oh!’s Western revenue in its publisher’s year to March 2026: about $0.51–0.63bn.

How it’s built

1. Take the publisher’s revenue booked by US and European companies (¥119.3bn) and subtract 60–100% of its Gaming & Systems segment (¥43.1bn), whose companies sit in the US and Australia.
2. Convert at ¥149.57 per dollar.

What we assumed

• 60–100% of Gaming & Systems falls in the US and Europe figures.That segment’s companies are in the US and Australia; the exact split is not disclosed.
• Everything else in those figures could be Yu-Gi-Oh!.Deliberately generous, so the result is a ceiling, not an estimate.

Sanity check

¥119.3bn − ¥43.1bn = ¥76.2bn, about $0.51bn at ¥149.57. It is an upper limit, so the true figure could be well below it.
